Burn camp helps healing

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

It’s a memory that Suzie Bartlett wishes would just fade away.A moment in her life she wishes could be erased. But the

scene was so traumatic, she doubts she’ll ever be able to forget it.Bartlett was upstairs in her Anacortes apartment changing

clothes after work when she heard the scream from below.She knew it was her son Joey, and as a mother of two boys, was

familiar with screams, but this was unlike any other.

Judge Alan Hancock ensured that 63-year-old Robert “Al” Baker will die in prison for the brutal murder of his wife at their Greenbank home last June.

Tuesday morning, the Island County Superior Court judge sentenced the Antarctic scientist and pizzeria owner to 52 years in prison, which was the sen-tence recommen-dation from Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme.

Baker was stone-faced throughout the dramatic hearing in which he was called a “monster” over and over again.

Baker took the stand in his own defense last week and claimed he didn’t know how his wife, Kathie, was bludgeoned and strangled in their bed, dragged through the house, wrapped in tarps and thrown in their backyard.

The jury didn’t buy it and found him guilty Monday afternoon of murder in the first

On paper, the two men running for Position No. 6 on the Oak Harbor City Council are very similar.

Incumbent Councilman Jim Campbell and challenger Skip Pohtilla both had high-level careers involving the Navy. Both are proud

grandfathers who chose to live in Oak Harbor after living overseas.

Both men pride themselves on being inde-pendent thinkers and chafe at the idea that they’re on one side or the other of the mayor-council divide.

Yet they have significant differences in both style and substance.

Campbell set himself apart from the rest of the council on some controversial issues and branded himself as the “lone voice of reason” on the City Council. He doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind or ask questions.

“I don’t belong to anyone,” he said. “I work for the citizens, not any special interest.”

Pohtilla is all about being positive. He said

he refuses to run a negative campaign and won’t say anything critical about his chal-lenger. The closest he comes to criticizing any city leader is saying he hopes that Mayor Scott Dudley isn’t twisting the facts when he campaigns for Campbell and the other council candidates he supports; some people have

Suzie Bartlett of Oak Harbor says her son Joey, who turns 12 Saturday, has blossomed from his experiences at a camp for young burn victims known as Camp Eyabsut. She was so impressed that she started her own business selling pre-made cookie mixes to raise money for the camp.

In terms of facilities, Whidbey General Hospital is facing stiff competition from its neighbors.

In recent years, nearby hospitals poured tens of mil-lions of dollars into upgrad-ing their facilities.

Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett almost two years ago opened a 700,000-square-foot addition at its Colby Campus while Island Hospital in Anacortes completed upgrades in 2007 and 2012.

Those expansions included single-patient rooms, which Whidbey officials have incor-porated into the hospital’s expansion plans.

Whidbey General Hospital officials said they hope the Coupeville-based campus will be the latest medical facility to upgrade if voters approve a $50 million bond measure next month. That ballot pro-posal needs to pass by a 60 percent supermajority.

The bond, if approved, would cost property owners an estimated 32.2 cents per $1,000 assessed property value over 25 years. It would fund construction of a new wing that includes 39 single-patient rooms, transform the current patient wing into clin-ic space and provide space for future expansion, as well as a new parking lot.

“I think it would make a big difference for the patient experience,” said Belinda Hawkins, who has been a nurse at Whidbey General Hospital for 30 years.

“She said the biggest complaint patients have about their stay at Whidbey General is having a second person in the room and hav-ing to be moved from room to room.

She added that the current rooms are extremely clut-tered for patients, especially when family visits.

“It can get overstimulating

for patients,” Hawkins said.She added the single

rooms would lead to more satisfaction and it would give patients more privacy and a better place to sleep.

Providence’s tower expan-sion was larger than Whidbey General’s proposed improve-ments.

The new tower gave the facility 491 beds between its two Everett campuses located on Colby and Pacific avenues. It also has room to add an additional 112 rooms, but Providence would have to get state approval through the Certificate of Need before that could happen, Providence spokeswoman Cheri Russum said in an email.

Tom Brennan, chief strat-egy officer for Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, said the tower was built for a 50-year life span.

The new tower includes mostly private rooms and some semi-private rooms. While the older buildings do have double rooms, Brennan said staff works to keep one patient per room as possible.

“Patients would prefer a private room,” Brennan said.

“We want to make sure the family feels comfortable,” he said.

Providence’s rooms pro-vide better infection control, better noise control and equipment to help hospital staff. Brennan noted that the rooms have lifts built in them to help move patients. Even a patient that weighs 150 pounds can cause an injury if an employee attempts to lift them.

Whidbey General Hospital officials noted the impor-tance of having lifts in rooms. Employees wheel lifts into hospital rooms as needed.

Hawkins said Whidbey General rooms aren’t big enough to accommodate equipment.

The expansion in Everett costed approximately $448 million and was funded by

the Providence health sys-tem and through public debt.

Island Hospital in Anacortes opened a 70,000-square-foot building containing a full-service lab, diagnostic imaging, emer-gency care center and a floor dedicated to acute care and intensive care nursing that featured private rooms, hospital spokesman Dennis Richards said in an email.

The year 2008 saw the opening of a renovated birth center, lobby and support areas.

Island Hospital’s expansion was funded by a $30.5-million bond that voters passed with a 79 percent majority.

Island opened a new medi-cal arts pavilion in 2012. It includes a cancer care center and a physical occupational and speech therapy depart-ment. The new building cost

$10.3 million and was funded by hospital revenues, which was also helped by a tax cred-it program, Richards said.

Whidbey General Hospital Board President Anne Tarrant said the hospital’s proposed expansion will help level the playing field between the Coupeville-based hospital and neighbor-ing hospitals.

She said the single-patient rooms will provide better pri-vacy, will be safer for employ-ees and provide better infec-tion control.

Voters will decide on the hospital’s future during the November general election, which marks the second time hospital leaders will send the proposal to the voters.

Two years ago, 55.49 per-cent of the voters approved the bond, which was short of the 60 percent supermajority.

Voters will again have a chance to participate in the process.

The Island County Auditor’s Office next week will mail out just a bit more than 50,000 ballots next week for the Nov. 5 general election.

Island County Deputy Auditor Michele Reagan said the ballots should be mailed on Oct. 16, but the statute allows for the bal-lots to be mailed out by Oct. 18.

“We’re going to beat that by a couple of days,” Reagan said, noting that ballots for registered vot-ers living overseas or are in the military went to the mailbox Sept. 18.

Even though ballots need to be postmarked by Nov. 5, the majority of the ballots received typically come in during the days leading up to the election deadline.

Reagan said staff sees the largest number of bal-lots the day before, elec-tion day and the day after the deadline. Of the nearly 43,000 votes cast during the 2012 general election, nearly 14,000 ballots were

received on those three days.

Even though the 2013 election lacks any national races, there are plenty of seats up for election that effect Whidbey Island gov-ernment.

Contested seats on the ballot include four posi-tions on the Oak Harbor City Council, a position on the Oak Harbor School Board and a seat on the Port of Coupeville board.

Voters will also consider a $50 million bond mea-sure that would fund and expansion and moderniza-tion of Whidbey General Hospital. That measure has to pass by a 60 percent supermajority.

A number of town, hos-pital and school board seats are also on the bal-lot, but each candidate in those races is running unopposed.

Ballots have to be post-marked by Nov. 5 in order to be counted. People can also drop off ballots at several dropboxes located throughout the county; those locations include the Oak Harbor City Hall and the Island County Auditor’s election office on North Main Street in Coupeville.

Ballots are in the mail

For strong examples of women in business, you don’t need to look very hard in Oak Harbor.

Brenda Pike and Sandy Merriman opened Wild Magnolia on Pioneer Way three years ago. Because of their diverse backgrounds, they said they thought their different skill sets would complement each other.

“We use the whole brain theory,” Pike said.

“Between the two of us, we make a whole brain.”

Merriman has a background in finance and management, while Pike’s former careers include sales and marketing. Both are artistic and love displaying their products in creative ways.

“We have totally different approach-es, but we always end up with the same outcome,” Merriman said.

Pike said they both love changing store displays as the seasons change too.

“We like to play to our artistic sides,” Pike said. “You can only redecorate your house so many times.”

Merriman grew up in Oak Harbor and loves having a business in her hometown. Their store features an array of items, such as scarves, jew-elry, candles, tea and much more.

“We both wanted to make the most beautiful store we could, with prices everyone can afford,” Pike said.

Pike moved to the area nine years ago from the Bay area. Both Pike and her husband wanted to leave their careers behind and focus on art. He works with clay, and she is a photog-rapher. She enjoys taking pictures of flowers.

Both Pike and Merriman said they enjoy running their own business for many different reasons

“Like a puzzle, it’s about finding the right product at the right time for the right price,” Merriman said.

With their two distinct personalities,

Merriman said its fun to incorporate them into one store and work together.

As a business owner, Pike loves interacting with the community. She’s able to meet soldiers and their families, community members and tourists. It gives her an opportunity to interact with others she normally wouldn’t have conversations with.

“The people are really what make this a great experience,” Merriman said.

Besides the visitors who come to the area, they enjoy the support from their community too.

“We have a core group of local customers who we love dearly,” Merriman said.

Both Merriman and Pike said they are happy to be downtown and want to see it continue to grow and gain more local followers.

For anyone looking to start their own business, Pike did offer a few words of advice.

“Don’t be afraid to take a chance,” Pike said.

“There’s risk in everything, and I’m glad I did this.”

The Cascade Loop Association launched its Second Annual Facebook Photo Contest and is seeking participants to submit their photos taken on or near the Cascade Loop Scenic Highway.

Photographer of the winning photo will receive a lodging pack-age that includes five overnight stays along the scenic highway.

The loop starts 26 miles north of Seattle in Snohomish County, circles through the Cascades mountains and along the Columbia River Valley, past Lake Chelan, through the Methow Valley, the North Cascades, the Skagit Valley, and finally back down the Whidbey Scenic Isle Way.

“The goal of the con-test is to showcase the Cascade Loop’s best attri-butes from the perspec-tive of our visitors,” said Annette Pitts, executive director.

“Our first year was a huge success, and we can tell from the quantity and quality of photos we’ve received already, that we’re off to an incredible start.”

Photos can be taken on or near the scenic byway and must be submitted by Dec. 1. For more information, visit cascade-loop.com.

It’s only October and high school graduation is already on the mind of Joycelin Vester.

“If we wait around, there’s going to be so much going on,” she said.

“We try to start early so people can plan ahead.”

Every October, the Whidbey News-Times recognizes and celebrates National Women in Business Month.

And for very good reason. Women-led and -owned businesses play a key role in keeping our com-munity vital and strong.

Despite the economic difficul-ties of recent years, the National Women’s Business Council report-

ed that women-owned businesses performed just as well as men-owned businesses between 2007 and 2010.

Throughout the recession, according to the NWBC, women-owned businesses were active in the largest industries and led a greater percentage of firms making more than $1 million per year in retail and wholesale trade, manufacturing and construc-tion.

As of 2013, it’s estimated that there are more than 8.6 million businesses that are owned by women in the United States. Those businesses account for about $1.3 trillion in revenues and employ nearly 7.8 million people.

Between 1997 and 2013, according to a report by American Express, the number of women-owned businesses in this country increased by 59 percent. That’s a rate 1.5 times higher than the national aver-age of men and women combined.

Between 1997 and 2013, the number of women-owned firms in Washington state increased from 123,042 to 153,200 — that’s a 39.9 percent increase during that time period.

Washington state ranks 32nd in the number of firms owned by women, 22nd in growth in firm rev-enues and 28th in combined economic clout rank, according to American Express’ report.

This is some serious clout, and these are num-bers that command attention, not to mention respect.

Starting on page 10 of today’s edition, you’ll find just some of the many women- led and owned busi-nesses that help to keep our local community vital and strong.

This Women in Business section not only recog-nizes their success as women-owned businesses, but also their investment into the female business community through such things as volunteerism, mentoring, cause-related support benefiting women, and more.

Join us in celebrating these and all women in business.

Letters to the editorOak Harbor Council

reelecting incumbents same as ‘rubber stamp’Editor,

I am writing concerning the numer-ous letters denouncing new candidates for Oak Harbor City Council.

It is disheartening to me that the mindset of some individuals who take the time to write letters as concerned citizens is, “vote against any candidate supported by the mayor.”

Anyone who says, “do not rubber stamp the mayor’s choices” is saying “rubber stamp” the current city council.

Promoting current council mem-ber’s while shooting down new candi-dates without knowing them is promot-ing ignorance.

Personal opinions and agendas like these defeat the ideals of democracy. Danny Paggao has been in office for 20 years. It is mind boggling to me the let-ters stating “do not rubber stamp” the mayor’s choices, yet their answer is to “rubber stamp” Danny Paggao.

Are we going to “rubber stamp” Danny Paggao for another 20 years or until he retires and then appoint

someone else? In my opinion, Position 7 is the most

important seat to consider because it is the seat in the most need of change. I would advise anyone reading this, including the authors against the mayor’s choices, to reach out to Mike Piccone and talk to him personally, find out what he stands for and make your own informed decision.

If you are not even considering voting for Mike Piccone because the mayor endorsed him, then not only are you making an uninformed decision, you are not supporting democracy.

Initiative 522

We have the right to know food ingredients Editor,

I have so many questions about the issue of genetically modified organ-isms: Why shouldn’t we have a right to know if GMOs are in the food we purchase and eat?

Why are some large chemical cor-porations spending more than $17.2 million to fight I-522? What is it they are

hiding or concerned about us know-ing? Do they care about our health or the health of their bottom line?

Why is it that the only testing that has been done on GMO safety was done by one of these companies and why did the FDA accept their results without question? Would you be surprised to know that the person in charge of food safety at the FDA is a former executive of one of these companies?

Isn’t this like the fox guarding the henhouse? Without independent test-ing how do we know if it is safe for us to eat foods containing GMOs? Why would labeling cost so much (as the opponents claim) when 64 other countries including China and Russia already require it and food companies in the USA already produce those labels for export?

And by the way, why do those 64 other countries require labeling of GMOs or prohibit them outright? Why do citizens of those countries have this right to know and we do not? Don’t you want answers to these questions? I know I do and I want to have the information that allows me to choose whether or not I eat foods containing GMOs.

Please vote YES on I-522.Susan Schopf

Hospital bond

Where’s the plan for spending the money?Editor,

Fifty million dollars is a lot of money, and 25 years is a long time.

I know firsthand that it is extremely unpopular to speak out against our local hospital.

The $50 million was a rough esti-mate when the bond was last pro-posed and it still is. Nowhere have I read a detailed plan of how exactly this money would be used.

How is WGH “our” hospital? Is it “ours” because our tax dollars go to support it? Maybe it is because “our” hospital is one of the largest employers on the island?

This hospital does not need to be publicly funded at all; public hospital districts are a dying breed in Washington state, and for good reason. Hospitals thrive and serve their patients better by merging and affiliating with other hospitals that are well known for their high quality of medical care and provide oversight.

Though many good people work at WGH, the hospital is decidedly not well known for its high qual-ity care. Why is WGH so against a merger or affiliation? Why is local control so important to “our” hos-pital?

Ah, the $50 million question.Like anyone else, I want a good

hospital close to home, but $50 mil-lion from the taxpayers in not the only solution. Please consider the following before following the yel-low signs down the brick road:

n Why do tests and procedures at WGH cost more than at any other hospital in the region?

n Why does WGH have to be a publicly funded hospital, when most hospitals are moving away from this model?

n Why does WGH dislike any-one questioning or investigating them, and why have they been so quiet since the last bond failed?

n Why have so many of the exec-utives and doctors left WGH over the last three years?

n Providence, Virginia Mason, Swedish, etc., are all excellent hos-pitals that thrive without hospital bonds. A good hospital is able to support itself and expand.

n Have you seen how well WGH manages its money? WGH man-ages its money very poorly. Have you noticed the fines they have had to pay? Do you know the salary of the hospital’s CEO, or for that matter, do you know how much of WGH’s money goes to large Seattle law firms?

It is important that you vote.If you do choose to vote “no,”

be sure to darken in the box as instructed. If you choose to believe the yellow signs, a check in the “yes” box is just fine.

E.E. Borden Coupeville

What is hospital doing to reduce overhead?Editor,

Recently, the world-reknowned Cleveland Clinic reported it’s cutting operating expenses by 6 percent in 2014 because of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Cleveland Clinic spokeswoman Eileen Shiel said, “We know we’re going to get paid differently and reimbursed less to do more.”

The year 2014 will bring some income reduction to Whidbey General Hospital as well as every

other hospital across the nation. Is this the time to spend $50 million, $90 million with interest, to con-struct 39 new private rooms while abandoning the current rooms for future clinical use?

A review of the WGH board min-utes show the hospital has had an occupancy rate of 50-60 percent for years.

WGH already could be provid-ing private rooms to nearly every patient at that rate.

What is WGH doing to reduce overhead and improve operating efficiency? The WGH board min-utes for Aug. 12 reflect that as of June, patient revenues were under budget by 8 percent and expenses were over budget by 16 percent. So income is down and expenses are up. Those of us who live on Whidbey Island cannot operate our households spending more money than we make.

Letters from supporters of the bond imply that WGH will no longer exist if this bond doesn’t pass. That is not the case.

The bond did not pass in 2011 and WGH is still operating. Reading the guest column by Chief Nurse Linda Gipson, WGH is doing an outstanding job providing care in the current facility.

Yes, hospital rooms being built in new facilities must be private, but the use of existing double rooms is not prohibited. Many hospitals have double rooms and they do not close down the double rooms when they build new wings with single rooms.

Should the hospital be sold to a not-for-profit or a for-profit hospital system that could operate more effi-ciency because of its size? Should WGH merge or affiliate with an existing hospital system? Has WGH pursued such options? Have other hospital systems made offers to pur-

chase or affiliate with WGH?Should WGH be reorganized to

primarily provide emergency care and outpatient surgeries with patients referred to larger hospital systems for extended in-patient care?

As a resident, I have more ques-tions than answers and do not sup-port the bond.

Council race

Severns has common sense needed in jobEditor,

I am the wife of a disabled combat veteran who, like Lucas Yonkman, served in Afghanistan and fought for our country. His time overseas makes us really appreciate those dedicated individuals who step up for their country.

While serving in the military is honorable and builds amounts of character, it does not in and of itself provide qualifications to make deci-sions on behalf of a community.

Oak Harbor needs leaders who earned the trust of its citi-zens through decades of experi-ence, leadership, and commitment. That being the case, my husband and I support Bob Severns for Oak Harbor City Council, Position No. 4.

Bob’s education, 40 years of busi-ness experience and leadership on more than a dozen boards and volunteer positions prepared him to research facts and make hard, independent choices free from the cronyism of an overreaching mayor trying to stack the political deck.

We need leaders with common sense experience to maintain a bal-ance of power in our city govern-ment, leaders that represent all Oak

Harbor citizens and make good decisions because they know in their heart that they are the right decisions.

Bob Severns is just such a com-mitted, proven leader.

Rachel WipfOak Harbor

Oak Harbor

City is in dire need of a good sprucing upEditor,

Can someone tell me what has happened to Oak Harbor?

First, I want to start with a posi-tive as we live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but why are so many homes and apartment buildings run down?

Why is there so much garbage? Why are there so many stray and feral cats? Why don’t we have nicer restaurants? Why is city beach park so run down?

When I visit Coupeville or Langley, the buildings downtown are painted and well taken care of. It is sad that a lot of the population here goes off the island to eat and shop.

Until landlords start taking some pride in their properties and offer reasonable leases or rent we will continue to have mostly fast food and not many options to buy or rent and limited shopping.

Games of the week Football: Oak Harbor and Coupeville both play homecoming games at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18.SPORTS

WHidbey

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Something had to give.The Mount Vernon High

School football team brought its stout defense to Wildcat Memorial Stadium Friday, Oct. 11, to stop the fleet-footed Oak Harbor offense. The Bulldogs’ brakes failed as Oak Harbor ran away with a 35-14 non-conference win.

Oak Harbor now turns its attention to Marysville Getchell, who comes to town for the Wildcats’ homecom-ing game at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18. An Oak Harbor win most likely guarantees the Wildcats a spot in the playoffs and could negate the need for a play-in game. (Ferndale from the Northwest Conference is lumped in with the Wesco 3A teams for the playoffs and could jumble the Wesco seeding.)

A victory would also set in place a battle for the Wesco North 3A title in the final regular season game at Marysville-Pilchuck (2-0, 6-0). The Tomahawks are ranked third in the state 3A poll and face winless Everett this week.

Marysville Getchell headed in the season with thoughts of challenging for the North championship but has slipped to 1-2 in league and 3-3 overall. Some pre-season polls picked the Chargers to finish second to M-P this year.

Getchell is led by quarter-back Taylor Koellmer, who is second in the division in passing with 615 yards. His top receiver, Kaleb Seymer, ranks fourth with 10 catches for 189 yards.

Wil Owens leads the ground attack with 476 yards on 77 carries, good for fifth in the division.

The Oak Harbor-Mount Vernon game pitted two 4-1 teams with opposite

strengths. Oak Harbor aver-ages 36 points per game behind a strong running game. Mount Vernon leans on a stingy defense, limiting opponents to 11 points per contest.

The Wildcats, playing without leading rusher Dejon Devroe out with a concus-sion, stung the Bulldogs with big plays and a big second quarter.

Sheyenne Sams, who fin-

ished with 166 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns, got the scoring started with a 26-yard run with just over five minutes left in the first quar-ter. Mark Johnston kicked the PAT.

Then came the second-quarter cascade. Dyllan Harris scored on a run from five yards out early in the period and then struck again, linking with Clay Doughty on a 35-yard TD pass play. Just before the half, Julian Faralan plowed in from the 2-yard line.

Mount Vernon got a bit of a spark when it scored just seconds into the third quarter.

Sams snuffed out the Bulldogs’ momentum with a 48-yard scoring strike mid-way through the period.

The Bulldogs ended the scoring with a touchdown with 8:24 left in the game.

Faralan finished with 68 yards on 18 carries.

Doughty helped pick up the slack with Devroe out by hitting 5-of-8 passes for 60 yards. Harris caught four of the tosses for 52 yards.

The Oak Harbor defense held the Wesco 4A North’s second-leading rusher, Brandon Hayman, to 49 yards on 16 carries. Hayman entered the game averag-ing more than 100 yards per game and five yards per carry.

The annual rivalry football game between Coupeville and South Whidbey over “The Bucket” is an electric event any year, but this fall’s clash is carrying even higher volt-age.

It’s homecoming week in Coupeville and the outcome of the game, which will be played at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, at Mickey Clark Field, will most likely determine which of the Whidbey schools advances to the playoffs.

Coupeville coach Tony Maggio said, “This is our Super Bowl Week.”

The Wolves kept themselves in the playoff hunt when Jake Tumblin lit up the stat sheet and the Coupeville defense lit up Granite Falls in the Wolves’ 23-7 win over

the host Tigers Friday, Oct. 11.The Wolves have been dinged

by injuries all year, but with the exception of starting center Carson Risner, who is out with a knee inju-ry, the Coupeville squad is now fully loaded.

Tumblin. who was fighting a hamstring injury, is back to full strength, according to Maggio, and it showed Friday at Granite Falls (0-6). The senior speedster rushed for 201 yards on 16 carries and caught a team-high three passes for 38 yards.

The Wolves welcomed back quarterback Gunnar Langvold, and the passing game perked up as he hit 6-of-11 passes for 104 yards.

Maggio was pleased with the

offensive performance of his club, but it was the Wolves’ defense, he said, that made the strongest state-ment against the Tigers.

“Our defense is really clicking; it’s really flying around,” Maggio said.

The linebacking corps of Tumblin, Brett Arnold, Lathom Kelley, Wiley Hesselgrave and Jared Dickson was particularly tough, Maggio said.

Tumblin was also the statistical leader of the stop unit, recording six solo tackles and 10 assists.

Lineman Nick Streubel was a beast, Maggio said, with seven solo tackles and five assists.

One of Streubel’s hits knocked the Cascade Conference’s leading rusher, Matthew Hamilton, out of

the game in the third quarter.Arnold and Kelley each finished

with seven tackles, and Josh Bayne, Ben Haight, Aaron Wright and Dickson had six apiece.

The Wolves scored first on an 8-yard run by Arnold and Bayne’s two-point conversion in the first quarter.

After a Coupeville fumble at its own 20 in the second quarter, Granite Falls scored on a 5-yard Hamilton run. The PAT kick made it 8-7.

Coupeville quickly countered when Langvold connected with Wade Schaef on a 55-yard scoring strike. Joel Walstad kicked the extra point.

Tumblin sprinted in from 48

yards out in the third quarter and Bayne tacked on another two-point conversion to finish the scoring.

Coupeville (3-2), because it is playing as an independent in foot-ball, needs to finish with a .500 or better record and defeat either South Whidbey or King’s (the other conference 1A schools) to qualify for the playoffs, according to Maggio.

A win over the Falcons Friday would assure the Wolves would meet those marks.

After the South Whidbey game, Coupeville closes out the regular season by going to King’s (4-0, 5-1) Oct. 25 and hosting Sultan (2-2, 2-4) Nov. 1.

Homecoming, playoff berth, the bucket, island bragging rights–

coupeville, South whidbey contest has much on line

chS falls in tennis to Arch. Murphy

The Coupeville tennis teams heads into district play this week after drop-ping a 6-1 match to Arch-bishop Murphy Friday, Oct. 11, in Everett.

Coupeville claimed its win in second doubles. Kyle Bodamer and Brian Norris prevailed 7-6(9-7), 6-2.

The Wolves and Wildcats meet in the final regular season match at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, in Coupeville.

Coupeville plays in the district tournament at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, at South Whidbey.

wildcats finish 6th in tourney

The Oak Harbor vol-leyball team played two of the state’s top teams on the way to placing sixth in the 16-team Wenatchee Invita-tional Tournament Saturday, Oct. 12.

The Wildcats finished second in their pool, beating Cashmere and Eastmont and losing to Bellarmine Prep.

Bellarmine is the state’s top-ranked 4A team and is ninth in one national poll. The Lions went on to win the tournament title.

Oak Harbor qualified for the championship round where it started with a loss to Chelan, the state’s second-ranked 1A school, which eventually finished

second to Bellarmine in the tournament.

The Wildcats kept alive with a win over East Valley, then lost to Kamiak in the match for fifth and sixth places.

Oak Harbor (2-2, 2-7) goes to Stanwood (2-2, 6-3) at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17.

wolves explode for 7 goals in win

Sparkling performances on both sides of the ball spurred the Coupeville soc-cer team to a 7-0 non-con-ference win over Concrete Saturday, Oct. 12, at Mickey Clark Field.

The Coupeville offense, which scored only four goals this season, came out of hi-bernation against the Lions (0-8), with Marisa Etzell and Makana Stone scoring twice, and Mickey Levine, Jennifer Sparks and Erin Rosenkranz adding one each.

Coach Troy Cowan said, “All seven goals were fantas-tic and memorable.” Two, however, he found “pro-found.”

Stone scored her second goal when she plucked the ball out of the air and put it in the corner of the net with her left foot.

The other highlight, ac-cording to Cowan, was Sparks’ 35-yard rocket that “nearly ripped a hole in the net.”

In addition, Cowan said, Sparks “played her best match, consistently bringing the ball out from the defen-

sive third and sending perfect through balls to our strikers.”

Levine added two assists to her goal, and Etzell was “on fire,” according to Cowan.

Etzell domi-nated her side of the pitch and provided “seven or eight beautiful crosses that caused havoc in Concrete’s 18,” Cowan said.

“Our girls played out-standing soccer and dominated the time of possession game,” Cowan said.

The defense shared the spotlight, ac-cording to Cowan: “Our defense not only provided a shutout, but our goalies (Julia Myers and Joye Jack-son) were never really in any danger of surrendering a goal. Tori Wellman played particularly well and had a terrific match.”

Cowan credited much of the Wolves’ success to as-sistant coach Gary Manker: “Gary has been extremely instrumental working with the girls this year. He has a natural connection with them and has provided us with some excellent instruc-

tion and is a key contributor to the team’s growth and overall success.”

Coupeville (1-7, 2-8) heads to Sultan (1-7-1, 3-7-1)for a 6 p.m. match Thursday, Oct. 17.

Rodeheffer runs to 4th in cc meet

Oak Harbor’s John Rode-heffer finished fourth in the prestigious Hole in the Wall cross country meet Satur-day, Oct. 12, at Lakewood High School.

The meet featured 85 schools (including a bundle of ranked teams), nearly 2,000 runners and 11 divi-sional races.

Rodeheffer, competing in the day’s highest level race, ran the 5,000 meter course in 15:45.3. Devon Grove of Lake Washington won in 15:30.8.

As a team, the Wildcat boys placed 19th in the race.

On the girls side, Alex Laiblin ran to 25th in the top girls race in 19:19.8, and the team finished 18th.

Oak Harbor competes in the Wesco conference meet at noon at South Whidbey High School Saturday, Oct. 26.

Sarah Saya admits this is out of her comfort zone.

But she’s giving a beauty pageant a whirl.

And people on Whidbey Island can help her.

Saya, 20, from Oak Harbor, will be competing in the Miss Washington USA 2014 Pageant Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18-19, at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien.

She is the Whidbey Island contestant in the pageant and

will be trying to emerge from the weekend as Washington’s candidate for Miss USA.

First, however, she will try to become one of 16 semifinal-ists. The judges vote on the first 15, and the 16th “people’s choice vote” is selected by the public’s online voting at www.misswashingtonusa.com under the contestant section.

“It’s just like American Idol,” Saya said.

“The public gets to vote.”All this is a little strange,

but exciting, for Saya, who is normally shy.

She had read something online about the pageant, was intrigued and decided to sign up for candidacy.

“It’s like applying for a job,” she said. “A year later, they called me and did an interview with me.”

The pageant is owned by NBCUniversal in partnership with Donald Trump.

It is different than the Miss Washington pageant, which is a stepping stone to the Miss American pageant.

Saya, a 2011 Oak Harbor High School graduate and stu-

dent at Skagit Valley College, fit the qualities of candidates the pageant wants, said Maureen Francisco, who interviewed her for the competition.

“We want women of charac-ter,” Francisco said. “Since we don’t choose who gets to win the prestigious title, we want to invite women who are in a healthy place in their lives and can be role models to other young women.”

Saya, who is studying to become a nurse, will be judged this weekend by her interview-ing skills, and the swimsuit and

evening gown categories. Each will count one-third toward her overall evaluation in the pre-liminaries.

“I feel like I’m going to gain more confidence in myself,” she said. “I get to know a lot of girls. It’s really going to put me out of my comfort zone.”

Saya is attempting to repre-sent Washington in the Miss USA competition for women ages 18-26.

SAYA2011 graduate of Oak Harbor High School can increase chances by pub-lic vote online

By SARA HANSENStaff reporter

On a misty morning, peo-ple gathered to learn more about the fungi around them.

“They have a certain mys-tique about them because of their deliciousness and their dangerousness,” Maureen Freehill said.

Freehill has been a mush-room enthusiast for a while. She took a class in the 1980s at The Evergreen State College and was hooked. When she heard about the “Walk and Talk with Fungi Tour” at the Whidbey Intitute in Clinton, she signed up immediately.

Approximately 20 people attended the morning tour Saturday, Oct. 12. It was presented by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

The land trust planned to host one walking tour, but because the first class filled

up within four hours, the trust added a second tour, said Janelle Castro, Whidbey Camano Land Trust outreach and communications man-ager.

“It’s the right climate of warm and wet for mush-rooms right now,” said Castro. “I was blown away by how many different types of fungus were out last Friday.”

The land trust partnered with the Whidbey Institute to

use its trails for the tour.Leading the tour was

Ida Gianopulos, a Whidbey Camano Land Trust conser-vation assistant. Mushroom foraging is a popular tradition in Gianopulos’ family. She’s been searching for mush-rooms since she could walk. Her mom is Swedish and it’s a very popular activity in that culture.

“I’m not an expert. I’m an enthusiast,” Gianopulos said. “I enjoy sharing that with others.”

Gianopulos is an ecologist, so she looks at how different elements of the environment fit and fight together.

“Fungi are a dominant force in our Northwest conifer forest. Without them these forests would not exist,” Gianopulos said.

Right away Gianopulos found an example on the trail: brown rot fungi. This fungus

grows on dead trees and con-sumes the cel-lulose inside, which is the complex struc-tural sugar that makes up plant cell walls. The only thing left when the fun-gus is finished is the lignin — the molecule that makes up wood, and no living organ-

ism can consume. The rot fungi have special enzymes that can dissolve it to make way for their cellulose con-sumption.

“It never breaks down,” Gianopulos said. “It crumbles and creates the forest floor.”

That’s why these woods have soft floors, and absorb so much moisture, Gianopulos said.

Another type of fungi that is all around the forest is

mycorrhizal fungi. It lives symbiotically with trees, Gianopulos said. The myce-lium, which is the living body of the fungus, forms sheaths on a tree’s roots to take the simple sugars it needs to survive. In return, it stretches into the forest, bringing nutrients and water the tree wouldn’t receive on its own. Certain types of mycorrhizal fungi are associated with cer-tain types of trees. For exam-ple, Oregon truffles are found growing under Douglas firs, Gianopulos said.

Another way to identify mushrooms is their smell, Gianopulos. Some smell like fish, cleaning products or dried fruits. Chanterelles sometimes smell like dried apricots. One of the russulas that was passed around was described as “smelling like a scallop.”

Mushrooms are the fruit of the fungus, Gianopulos said. They like being picked

because they release spores into the environment. It is the same as an apple tree grow-ing fruit for animals to dis-perse and increase the plant population.

And much like a tree, the fungus is much bigger than the fruit it actually produces. Gianopulos said. It’s hard to

tell how far the mycelium stretches in the forest.

Mushrooms also contain chitin, a glucose derivative also found in bugs and crus-taceans. Gianopulos said this is what makes fungi different from plants.

There were also examples of fungi fighting along the trail. One of the logs con-tained three different types at war with one another, and Gianopulos said that if the log were to be cut open, you would see a black line where the battle was raging. Each fungus releases chemicals which create a zone line that repels the other.

“They are not happily coexisting,” Gianopulos said. “They are tolerating each other and staying on their side of the log.”

Gianopulos offered a few tips for mushroom foragers. For those who seek out edi-ble mushrooms, it is impor-tant to make sure they are

cooked. Some mushrooms, such as morels, are poison-ous until cooked. And make sure to try a small amount first before feasting to avoid getting sick, even if they are chanterelles or oyster mush-rooms.

Also, when buying a mush-room book, make sure the information is current. Some of the older editions label mushrooms as plants, so the identifying information is out-dated, Gianopulos said.

For Freehill, one aspect she likes about fungi is that they can appear and disappear quickly. She said there was a patch of oyster mushrooms she found on her property. She waited one day before going to pick them, and they were already gone.

So for those planning to go search for mushrooms, its better to head out sooner than later.

Growing number of enthusiasts gather to learn about mushrooms

The color, gills, spores and smell of a specimen can all help with the identification of a fungus.

With the perfect warm, wet conditions, fungi are popping up all over Whidbey Island.

A brown rot fungus grows on the side of a dead tree.

She rushed downstairs afraid and unprepared to see what was next.

“He was in the middle of the living room floor in flames,” she said.

Joey, 8 at the time, was on the back porch, trying to light a newspaper with a match and a couple drops of gas from a near empty gas can. In no time, Joey’s shirt caught fire.

He ran inside screaming in fear and pain from the flames that were burning his torso, back and neck.

“I was in shock,” Suzie Bartlett said.

The accident happened four years ago. And watch-ing Joey and his brother Kenny goof around at an Oak Harbor park on a beautiful autumn evening last week, it’s impossible to tell there was

any trauma to this family.Suzie Bartlett and her hus-

band Victor, who now live in Oak Harbor, watched Joey heal from both the emotional and physical scars during a long road of recovery that has included 14 surgeries.

And they are grateful to many who’ve helped along the way.

Holding a special place in Bartlett’s heart are the volun-teers who run Camp Eyabsut, a camp in North Bend that nurtures and builds self-esteem of young burn vic-tims.

For the past three sum-mers, Bartlett watched her son grow from attending the week-long camp.

The impact was so strong and heart-felt that last year she started her own side busi-ness to help raise money for the camp.

As part of Suzie’s Odds & Ends, she sells pre-made cookie mix jars and all-natural sugar scrubs at local bazaars.

She and her husband decided to give half of the proceeds to Camp Eyabsut for the business’ first three years.

“It really hits close to my heart,” said Bartlett, who also works in the Apple-a-Day Cafe at Island Drug in Oak Harbor.

“If it wasn’t for the camp and the stuff they do, he wouldn’t be the person he is now. He is more self efficient, more active, more comfort-able with what happened.”

The accident left Joey with burns on 27 percent of his body. He spent nearly three months recovering at the Harborview Burn Center in Seattle.

It’s taken time to recover from the emotional scars as well.

“He knows as a parent, you tell them, ‘Don’t play with matches,’” Bartlett said. “He felt so guilty. He could not look at me for a month.

“I told him, ‘I don’t care what happened. I just want you to get better.’”

Bartlett has watched her son blossom from a shy, timid boy after the accident. She describes Joey as an excited, active and inquisitive sixth grader at North Whidbey Middle School in Oak Harbor.

He turns 12 Saturday.While she is grateful to

many, including those at Harborview and Broad View Elementary, she said she believes the greatest healing came at Camp Eyabsut.

The camp got its name from the Skagit Tribe. Eyabsut means to “rise above any-thing,” which was endorsed as the camp’s mission.

“He’s become more com-fortable with his scars,” Bartlett said. “He will walk around at home with no shirt on. He’s getting more com-fortable with showing his skin in public.”

“We’ve been down a long road,” Victor said. “He’s doing good. Now we can’t get him to settle down.”

Bartlett said she’s sold more than 100 cookie jars with 14 sent to an aircraft carrier overseas. She has a website, www.campeyabsut.org, and Facebook page, www.facebook.com/suziesoddsan-dends

She is sometimes amazed by her son’s inner strength.

“It took two days to name him,” Bartlett said, recalling his birth.

“We gave him a strong Biblical name. He’s lived up to that.”

outright accused Dudley of spinning false-hoods as he talks door to door.

Pohtilla worked for NATO in the Mediterranean during several conflicts and learned to communicate and create consen-sus among leaders of different nations.

“I have experience working with diverse individuals for a common good,” he said. “As an elected official, I would work with whoever the citizens elected.”

Campbell and Pohtilla disagree about such recent issues as increasing Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce funding, health ben-efits for council members and allowing beer gardens in city parks during special events.

Campbell said the chamber should con-tinue to receive its current funding, but he wants any increases of lodging tax funds to go to a countywide tourism marketing effort.

Pohtilla said he’s in favor of increasing chamber funding because of the group’s important role in encouraging increased new personnel at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station to live in the city.

Pohtilla said he supports keeping the cur-rent health insurance benefits for council members. He said the “small cost” to the city is outweighed by benefit of all the work done

by council members.“They are never off the clock,” he said.Campbell disagrees.“We’re part-time employees. No other part-

time employees in Oak Harbor get medical benefits,” he said. “Why should we be differ-ent?”

Campbell was the only council members to vote against an ordinance which created a one-year trial period which allows beer or wine gardens in two city parks during special events, with permission from City Council. He said some families simply won’t go to events if there’s alcohol being served and he hasn’t heard any compelling reason to make the change.

Pohtilla, on the other hand, said it’s a good idea. He points out that beer gardens have been allowed on city streets during the city’s largest festivals and there weren’t any prob-lems. He points out that the police chief said it’s easier to enforce alcohol-related rules at a public event than in a private bar.

Campbell and Pohtilla are in general agree-ment with some major issues facing the coun-cil. They both feel the sewage treatment plant project is going in the right direction, thought Campbell points out that he’s been

involved in the complex process since the beginning. Neither of them agree with the mayor’s stance that the project should be paused as other sites are explored further or that the engineering firm should be replaced.

Neither men say they would push for a ban on marijuana businesses in the city, as other municipalities have.

They agree that there should be tough restrictions about where they can be located, but that voters have spoken on the issue.

“I don’t have a problem with someone smoking a joint,” Campbell said.

Both men concede that there’s a percep-tion that Campbell is from the Mayor Scott Dudley’s “camp” and that Pohtilla would be more likely to align himself with the current council majority.

The council and mayor have had a rocky relationship and disagreements over signifi-cant issues since Dudley came into office.

They both urge voters to judge them as individuals, not on any perceived alliances.

“I don’t like it,” Campbell said of the percep-tion. “I pride myself on being my own man.”

Campbell said he listens to constituents — he holds weekly “office hours” at a coffee house — and his colleagues and city staff before making decisions, keeping his mind open to other ideas.

Among council members, Campbell is most likely to agree with the Mayor Scott Dudley when there’s disagreements between the

mayor and council. Like the mayor, Campbell was against gun restrictions in parks and a proposed ban on hats at council meetings; he defended the mayor’s choice for fire chief and city attorney against critics.

Campbell said he made those decisions because he felt it was right, not because of any personality conflicts or alliances.

In fact, Campbell said he asked Dudley to stop handing out his flyers when he’s campaigning door-to-door for his favorite can-didates. He said the flyers might bring up questions and he doesn’t want anyone else to answer for him.

Pohtilla said he feels that the City Council has “generally done a very good job” and he wants to be part of the body. He said he knows the mayor and some council members, but isn’t on anyone’s side.

He said he decided to run against Campbell because his seat wasn’t being contested. In fact, Pohtilla said Campbell encouraged him to run for council after he wasn’t appointed to Dudley’s former seat.

Pohtilla said he’s been involved in a variety of volunteer activities in the community for years and he sees becoming an elected official as “the next natural step.”

“I have no agenda,” he said. “I would be there for the people to vote on the issues for the best interest of Oak Harbor.”

“I support good ideas, no matter who they come from.”

degree with aggravating factors. Hancock set the sentencing the next day.

Although Baker’s background wasn’t dis-cussed during trial, Ohme described his life of deception.

Baker was convicted of molesting a step-daughter — which Kathie didn’t know about — and spent five years in prison in California in the early 1990s.

Ohme suggested Baker’s claim to be a physicist was fabricated; he said neither he nor a detective could find evidence that Baker has a degree.

Ohme said Kathie didn’t know the real Al Baker.

“When Kathie went to sleep that last and final time, she had no idea she was living with a monster,” he said.

The focus of the sentencing hearing was on Kathie, who was just 53 years old.

Hancock said he agreed with Jami Hill, Kathie’s niece, that she should no longer be called Kathie Baker, but referred to her by her maiden name and just “Kathie.”

In comments and letters read in court, friends and family members described Kathie as beautiful, kind, loving woman who was a respected scientist. A colleague wrote that she was the first meteorologist to work for

Raytheon Corporation; she and Baker worked at the science station in Antarctica.

Friends and family traveled from across the country to watch the trial and speak at the sentencing hearing.

“Kathie was the shining light of our family,” Kathie’s brother David Hill said. He described his sister as being “deeply in love” with her husband and that the family had accepted him into the family with open arms.

“In my opinion, he’s a monster,” he said. “He does not deserve any leniency.”

Amy Grafinger described the loss of her best friend.

“There’s no way for me to sit here and tell you everything that Kathie meant to me,” she said. “She was an incredible person who thought about other people, who was gener-ous and kind.”

Jami Hill, Kathie’s niece, said the family had suffered terrible tragedies recently, which Kathie had helped her “put the pieces together.”

“Her love lit the world,” she said, adding that “watching her joy was tremendous.”

Struggling through tears, Hill also had words for Baker.

She said he was considered part of the fam-ily and had attended funerals of her father and other family members.

“Knowing what the family has suffered, he selfishly still decides to take another life,” she said.

Baker declined to make a statement before he was sentenced. Kathie’s family hugged each other after a guard led Baker away.
