Seahawks fans get moment they’ve waited for By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

The last time the Pacific Northwest felt a rum-ble of this magnitude on the sports landscape, Lance Gibbon nearly lost his bearings.

It was June 1, 1979, and Gibbon had just watched the Seattle SuperSonics wrap up the NBA championship on television.

He was so excited he sprinted outdoors with his basketball.

He was 10.“I don’t know what I was going to do with it,” he

said. “I was just excited about the Sonics winning.”Thirty-five years later, Gibbon celebrated the

region’s next major sports championship with a little more restraint.

He watched with his family at their home in Oak Harbor Sunday as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos, 43-8, for their first Super Bowl title.

Now the superintendent of the Oak Harbor

School District, Gibbon couldn’t just bolt out the front door with a football under his arm, but savored the moment nonetheless.

Like so many others from his generation and older, he could fully appreciate what such an accomplishment meant. He’s one of the Seahawk lifers — a fan since the franchise’s NFL birth in 1976 — a time before blue 12th-man flags flew so freely.

“I’ve been watching the Seahawks since 1976,” said Gibbon, 45, who grew up in Edmonds. “When I was a kid, I remember them playing in the Kingdome. We stuck through all the Jim Zorn and Dave Krieg years and all that.”

“I remember when the Broncos were our rival. I remember John Elway playing. I loved all that stuff growing up.”

Gibbon still does, but he’s not going to get car-ried away.

A parade is scheduled for 11 a.m. today through downtown Seattle to celebrate the Seahawks’ first Super Bowl title, and Gibbon said he is taking no special measures to accommodate in Oak Harbor.

“School is still on,” he said.Scott Dudley, Oak Harbor’s mayor, is another

prominent figure in the Oak Harbor commu-

Seahawks fans celebrate at a 12th man rally at Oak Harbor High School Saturday, a day before Seattle won the Super Bowl. The fundraising event raised $1,300 for the North Whidbey Help House.

Seattle Seahawks merchandise branded with their Super Bowl championship has already start-ed trickling into Oak Harbor with larger shipments expected throughout the week.

Retail outlets such as Big 5 Sporting Goods, Albertsons grocery store and Walmart will carry Seahawks merchandise boasting their champion-ship in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Big 5 got a shipment of blue and gray “Super

Bowl champion” T-shirts Tuesday morning and Walmart was supposed to receive its first shipment of items by Tuesday afternoon.

Albertsons, which has an entire section of its store devoted to a Seahawks “Team Shop,” is plan-ning for a big shipment of merchandise today and should have items out for sale by noon.

“I don’t have any plans of ending it at this point,” Albertsons store manager Clint Brock said of the store’s Seahawks Team Shop.

Albertsons will carry NFL-licensed T-shirts,

sweatshirts, hats and other items branded with Seattle’s accomplishment.

“It’s incredibly exciting as a fan and even as a business leader,” Brock said. “It’s really good for the community.”

Donna Wanless, manager at Big 5, said that offi-cial Super Bowl Seahawks jerseys are expected to arrive next week.

“They’ll have ‘Super Bowl champions’ on them,” she said.

Woman accused of tattooing man by force

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

While he’s a victim of a vio-lent crime, Matthew Reimer said he can see the humor in what happened to him, though his friends are apo-plectic.

But mostly, he said, he sees the bizarre incident as a “wake up call” that it’s time to leave the drug scene behind.

Reimer claims that Ashley E. Firth, a 33-year-old Oak Harbor woman, tattooed him against his will after forcing him to hand over his wal-let inside a travel trailer on Crosby Avenue Jan. 11.

Firth goes by the street name “Dibo,” according to Oak Harbor police. She allegedly tattooed the words “punkbitch—dibo” on his shoulder.

Jennifer Yzaguirre, com-munity service officer for the Oak Harbor police, said she’s “99 percent certain” that this is the department’s first case of alleged tattooing by force.

Prosecutors charged Firth in Island County Superior Court Jan. 22 with robbery in the second degree, assault in the third degree and violation of a court order. She pleaded not guilty.

“It goes to show how bad the drug scene has gotten in Oak Harbor,” Reimer said.

Officer Jon Valenzuela investigated the case after Reimer reported it the day after receiving the noncon-sensual inking.

Children’s theater hosts hundredsn The Whidbey Children’s Theater filled to capacity last week with around 500 stu-dents from various schools on South Whidbey Island. They watched scenes from “Disney’s 101 Dalmations” during a dress rehearsal. They were also able to question the cast and direc-tor Lisa Nakama. The field trip is a collaboration between the children’s theater and the South Whidbey School District.

Darting animal prompts crashn In an attempt to avoid an animal, a FedEx delivery driver veered off Ewing Road in Clinton and crashed into a power pole last week. The driver wasn’t injured, but the crash knocked out one of the truck’s front windows and cracked the windshield. The truck almost snapped the 45-foot-tall power pole in two and a live power line draped over the truck.

Police chief gets an extensionn The Langley City Council approved extending Acting Police Chief Dave Marks’ con-tract while leaders continue searching for a permanent replacement. Marks was appointed to interim spot in August and his contract was scheduled to expire Aug. 15. His extension comes at a time when officials are considering how many officers to employ.

Port cameras go live in three areasn Videos from three cameras at the Port of South Whidbey that went live last month can be viewed at www.portofsouthwhid bey.com. The videos come from cameras located at the South Whidbey Harbor, Bush Point and Possession Beach. The website refreshes every five seconds. Officials approved the project in 2013 and was funded by a $65,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Students learn among the treesn Eighth-graders at Langley Middle school spend a day at South Whidbey State Park as part of a learning project on local history. Students hiked Wilbert Trail, identified trees and the forest conditions as well as wrote poetry and removed inva-sive species.

Navy SAR saves injured hiker n Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s search and rescue unit pulled an injured hiker from Mount Baker. The 24-year-old man fell 100 feet and suffered chest injures. The incident marked the first rescue of 2014 for the unit.

Fire/EMS gets response boatn South Whidbey Fire/EMS conditionally accepted a nearly $500,000 marine response vessel built by Freeland manufacturer North Cross Aluminum. Fire district officials said they have a 50-item punch list of “relatively easy to fix” items that need to be resolved before final payment to the company is made.

Council endorses Langley funicularn The Island County Council of Governments recommended the county commissioners approve a $268,000 rural economic devel-opment fund award to the city of Langley. That award will help pay for installation of a funicular that would transport people up and down the Camano Avenue bluff. The commissioners could decide on the award during a mid-February meeting.

Barge contract boosts buildern Freeland-based Nichols Brothers Boat Builders landed a contract that will add 25 jobs and keep workers busy into 2015. They will build an articula-tion-tug barge for Texas-based Kirby Offshore Marine. Currently the boat yard is building a 23-car ferry, another tug and several other smaller projects.

Time to register for garden eventGardening enthusiasts may start registering for the 2014 Whidbey Gardening Workshop, which is set for March 8 at Oak

Harbor High School. The annual event will include 40 classes with 18 new instructors this year. Marty Wingate is the keynote speaker. She will speak about “Choosing the Right Plants for your Northwest Garden.” To gain more information or have a registration packet mailed, call 360-240-5527.

Island home prices on mendn After a four-year slump, home values on Whidbey Island are showing signs of recovery. The median cost of a single-family home rose to $255,000 in 2013, which is up from $250,000 in 2012 and $249,900 in 2011. While the 2013 increase repre-sents a 2 percent jump, econo-mists see it as good news.

Trailer fire cause remains unknownn Investigators haven’t deter-mined yet the cause of a fire that destroyed a South Whidbey trail-er in January. Investigators are suspecting the fire ignited from either a heat source or electrical problem. They haven’t found anything to indicate arson.

Money sought for walk-on ferriesn The county council of govern-ments recommended the Port of South Whidbey receive a $130,000 rural economic devel-opment fund award. The award would pay for a project to mod-ify the breakwater at the South Whidbey Harbor so it could accommodate passenger ferries. The Port of South Whidbey has been talking with the Victoria Clipper and the Hat Island Ferry to use the harbor on a regular basis. The proposal goes to the Island County commissioners for their consideration.

Ciao gives to Coupeville schoolsn Ciao, an Italian restaurant located on North Main Street in Coupeville, will donate a day’s worth of proceeds to an orga-nization that helps Coupeville schools. Dining Out for Kids is 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 17 at Ciao. Money raised will benefit the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools, which provides grants for teachers to pay for projects and field trips as well as paying for scholarships.

ISLAND DIGEST

By JANIS REIDStaff reporter

For Whidbey Island Red Cross volunteers, it’s not a question of “if,” it’s a ques-tion of “when” a disaster will occur.

Staying prepared is a top priority.

Recently, seven volunteers from the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross helped staff an emergency shelter in Everett opened Dec. 15. A large apartment fire in downtown Everett that day took one person’s life and left 20 others in need of temporary housing. An addi-tional volunteer provided all the financial tracking for the shelter from his Friday Harbor office.

Snohomish County Red Cross volunteers opened the shelter at Central Lutheran Church in Everett, and staffed it around the clock with help from other chap-ters in the region. Volunteers serve as shelter operators, cooks, caseworkers and case managers, nurses and men-tal health counselors.

“We were happy to help out,” said Ron Conlin, disas-ter services coordinator for Islands Chapter. “Snohomish County volunteers had responded to 12 incidents in 12 days, and they need-ed relief. We were able to send people from South and North Whidbey and the San Juans.”

While responding to fires and other minor disasters are routine for the Red Cross, the face of the organization is changing as they learn through hard experience, namely, Hurricane Katrina.

“That was the first time the Red Cross has operated in disaster mode for that long … more than a year,” Conlin said. “There were lessons learned from Katrina and everything that went wrong. There were things we never expected to deal with — like sheltering for pets. People died because they wouldn’t abandon their pets.”

As a result of those hard lessons learned, Conlin said the Red Cross went

into Hurricane Sandy in “a ramped up space” that was more prepared.

In addition to providing much-needed, short-term shelter and food to disaster victims, the Red Cross also served the firefighters, pro-viding food and water during fire or flood assistance. Out of 131 volunteers that comprise the Islands Chapter, roughly 50 reside on Whidbey Island.

This includes 21 licensed registered nurses and psy-chologist prepared to help with medical and mental health needs.

Unlike other chapters around Washington and the country, the Islands Chapter faces some unusual obstacles.

“Our chapter is unique and geographically challeng-ing due to the mix of land and water,” Conlin said. “It’s important for us to be train-ing our people and the gen-eral population.”

The group faced a rash of pre-Christmas fires, which is relatively standard given the increased use of lights and space heaters. The chapter had 30 disaster calls for the month of December.

Conlin said last year was pretty hard on the Red Cross but that was partially because they are gaining a higher profile in the area, working with more local fire departments to be on their first call list.

Whidbey volunteers have deployed all over the coun-

try for emergency assis-tance, including Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast and flooding in Colorado.

The Red Cross mainly focuses on immediate short term aid and works with other agencies like Catholic Charities for longer term needs.

In addition, the Washington chapters have unveiled a new program entitled “Safe in the Sound” which aims to prepare at-risk areas for earthquakes and tsunamis, teaching resi-dents basic first aid and how to “shelter in place,” Conlin said.

Safe in the Sound aims to individuals and communities throughout the Puget Sound region and coastal commu-nities build their capacity to withstand, quickly adapt to and successfully recover from disasters, Conlin said.

Red Cross changes tack

Work on new wing slated for ’16 completion By NATHAN WHALENStaff Reporter

Whidbey General Hospital’s expansion has taken a step forward.

The hospital’s board of commissioners approved an agreement in January with Marc Estvold to manage the project.

Voters approved a $50-mil-lion bond in November.

Estvold, who is based in Anacortes, recently man-aged expansion projects for Island Hospital and the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance. He will work for Whidbey General Hospital on a contract basis.

The contract with Estvold will cap at $750,000 for the project, estimated to be com-pleted in 2016.

In an email, Whidbey General Hospital spokes-woman Trish Rose said that Estvold will be working on an hourly basis with the cap based on the multi-year life of the project.

“This is typical in health-care construction for some-one with his expertise who is managing a project of this size and complexity,” Rose wrote in the email.

She added that his ref-erences indicate Estvold has delivered high-quality results on time and on bud-get.

Prior to being brought on

board the Whidbey General Hospital expansion project, Estvold oversaw several projects for Island Hospital, including construction of a 31-bed patient wing that cost $40 million; a $10 mil-lion addition for physical therapy, wound care and oncology; and several other smaller additions for other hospital departments.

Estvold also managed an $18-million project for the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance and he is currently managing construction of a $60-million jail in Skagit County.

In November, Whidbey Island voters approved the expansion project bond with more than 60 percent in favor of the expansion.

A supermajority was required for passage.

The funding will pay for construction of a new wing that will be located on the south end of the hospital’s Coupeville campus.

The new wing will include single-patient rooms along with extra space that offi-cials hope will meet the hospital’s future needs. In addition, plans call for trans-

forming the current patient rooms to clinic space and installing a new parking lot to make up for the one lost through the expansion.

With the project manager hired, hospital officials will start developing a request-for-proposals to hire an architect to design the new building.

Rose said in the email that the firm hired for the work will examine the hos-pital’s master site plan and make changes to where it meets current codes and standards. The architect will work with the employees in the affected departments to help design the new wing.

Hospital staff will also have a site survey complet-ed to establish property cor-ners and Estvold will estab-lish a project timeline.

Rose said a preliminary estimate indicates the new wing will be completed sometime in the fall of 2016.

Ever sliced your finger with a rusty bread knife? Ever had a migraine head-ache that makes you want to claw your eyes out? Or coughed up stuff that looks like neon-colored Play-Doh?

North Whidbey residents suffering such ailments now have options that go beyond hoping their family physi-cian can squeeze them in at the last minute, or traveling to the emergency room at Whidbey General Hospital.

North Island Medical opened its doors a couple of months ago and expanded its hours this week to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays.

The clinic offers some-thing that has been sorely needed on North Whidbey — immediate care for every-one, not just established patients.

It’s what often is called a walk-in clinic, though Dr. Dan Fisher, one of the part-ners, said they prefer the

term “immediate care.”Fisher explained that

physicians in his office can provide immediate care for all sorts of sicknesses and injuries. They can clean and stitch wounds, administer IVs, lance festering boils, pre-scribe antibiotics and more.

Exceptions, he said,

include anything life threat-ening, broken bones and eye or teeth problems.

The clinic’s three doctors and two physician’s assistants are also recruiting patients who are looking for primary care doctors.

The new offices, with eight exam rooms and a procedure

room, is located behind the new Island Drug store on State Highway 20.

The doctors, the three part-ners, are retired Navy com-manders who were stationed on Whidbey Island at some point in their careers, accord-ing to Kelly Wrightson, clinic manager.

Fisher is an unusually lively internist with remark-ably loyal patients, said Wrightson. Many patients

from his popular practice in Coupeville followed him to the new office. Other patients came from as far away as Bellingham and Hawaii.

Fisher credits his popular-ity among patients with his personal approach to patient care.

As an independent owner of an independent clinic, Fisher said he is able to put his patients’ needs ahead of the bottom line.

“Patients come in different flavors and colors and shapes and you need to spend time with them,” he said. “There’s no such thing as a 12-minute patient.”

Dr. Mark Duncan is a fam-ily physician who provided care for military families throughout the world until retiring in 2012.

Dr. David Lemme is an osteopathic physician who provides care for patients of all ages.

Lemme is an advocate of the holistic approach to medi-cine and strives to provide “a balance perspective to the use of alternative and com-plementary medicine.”

State sees increase in taxable sales

n An increase in busi-ness and consumer spend-ing boosted the state’s taxable retail sales by 7.6 percent for the third quarter of 2013, according to the Washington State Department of Revenue’s quarterly analysis.

Taxable retail sales be-tween July 1 and Sept. 30, 2013 reached $31 billion — a $2.2 billion increase over the same period in 2012.

The City of Oak Har-bor also experienced growth in taxable retail sales, but at a more mod-est level of 4.3 percent for the third quarter.

Island County saw a giant boost of 11.3 per-cent in the same quarter. The Town of Coupeville, however, saw a decline of 0.5 percent.

Statewide, the increase in taxable retail sales was driven by auto sales and new construction, accord-ing to Revenue Director Carol Nelson.

“This increase in spend-ing shows that consumer confidence in Washington continues to improve and is at its highest level since the Great Recession,” she said.

Third quarter retail trade purchases increased by 5.4 percent over the same time the year be-fore.

Passengers traveling on the Washington State Ferries this past weekend boarded vessels that were renamed in honor of the Seattle Seahawks.

The tribute was directed by Gov. Jay Inslee.

“We couldn’t be more proud of our Seahawks as they represent our state in the Super Bowl,” Inslee said in a news release. “We’ve already raised the 12th Man flag on each ferry, and this honorary name change is one more way for us to show our appreciation.

For people used to sail-ing the Kennewick from Keystone Harbor, it was known Sunday as the M/V James Carpenter. For riders

on the Mukilteo-to-Clinton route, the Cathlamet was known as the M/V Malcolm Smith and the Kittitas was known as the M/V Tony McDaniel.

“Although the name change is symbolic, we think it is a fun way to show our support and give fans a chance to cheer on the Hawks before they pull into port,”said Assistant Transportation Secretary David Moseley in a press release.

The Washington State Department of Transportation recognizes the Seahawks achieved suc-cess this season by working as a team.

Ferries were temporarily

renamed as follows:M/V Cathlamet: “M/V

Deep down, Jean Wieman is a Green Bay Packers fan.

Some of her fondest memories growing up in Sparta, Wis., were watching Packers games with her dad on Sundays.

Wieman’s heart, howev-er, is warming to the Seattle Seahawks, especially the team’s 12th man followers.

She is grateful to the Seahawks for winning the Super Bowl, because that will give the North Whidbey Help House a needed boost.

A challenge between the chambers of commerce for Oak Harbor and Parker, Colo., led to a winner-take-all fundraiser between the two towns.

Because the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos, 43-8, in the Super Bowl, Oak Harbor’s local food bank will be the recipi-ent of all proceeds from fun-draisers held in Oak Harbor and Parker.

Although the amount raised in Parker has yet to be reported, raffle ticket sales in Oak Harbor net-

ted $1,300 for the North Whidbey Help House.

Nearly $4,000 worth of items were donated by local businesses and the commu-nity for prizes to help the cause.

Winners were drawn at a 12th man rally held at Oak Harbor High School’s Wildcat Memorial Stadium attended by about 200 peo-ple.

Wieman, the North Whidbey Help House’s executive director, attended the event and was grateful for the community’s sup-

port.She even was dressed in

a Seahawks shirt, however, it was worn over a Packers Super Bowl T-shirt and Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt, her first two favorites.

“It was fun,” she said.And important, she

added, to help the food bank.

“Last year, in 2013, we had a 23 percent drop in cash donations for the year,” Wieman said. “This will go a long ways to help make up for that and start our year off right.”

nity who has cheered for the Seahawks since the fran-chise’s beginning.

Dudley, who grew up in Olympia, said he can remember a franchise that was immediately competitive from the get-go with Zorn, Steve Largent, Dave Brown and other Seahawks legends.

In Seattle’s first-ever regu-lar season NFL game in 1976 in the Kingdome, Zorn engineered a comeback that ended near the goal line in a 30-24 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Immediately, a love affair between a region and its foot-ball team was born.

The Seahawks would go 9-7 in their third season, get-ting national attention for whacky plays, and get within a victory of the Super Bowl in 1983 during a time when Curt Warner made headlines long before another fellow named Kurt Warner did.

Dudley has seen the ups and downs, from the lows of owner Ken Behring nearly moving the franchise to sunny Southern California in 1996 to the highs of Paul Allen rescuing it and start-ing the process of building a Super Bowl contender.

In East Rutherford, N.J., Sunday, Dudley soaked in the highest of highs as he sat in the third level of MetLife Stadium and watched the Seahawks make history by

dismantling the Broncos.“It was phenomenal,”

Dudley said. “I’m so glad I went. I came to find out I wasn’t the only Seahawk fan in New York. The 12th man showed up loud and proud.”

Dudley formally proposed Tuesday night before the Oak Harbor City Council that today, Feb. 5, 2014, be pro-claimed “Seahawks Day in Oak Harbor.”

The idea is to encourage the community to dress in Seahawks attire today to cel-ebrate the team’s Super Bowl title.

Dudley’s trip to New Jersey kept him from the Oak Harbor 12th man rally last week at Oak Harbor High School that drew about 200 fans and raised $1,300 for the North Whidbey Help House.

Mike Kennefick, 77, of Oak Harbor attended the rally and continued to root for the Seahawks into the weekend.

He’s not sure when he’ll stop.

A retired City of Bellevue employee, Kennefick has been a fan since day one and remembers the days of driving by the team’s former practice facilities in Kirkland to peek at the action.

Kennefick said he was elat-ed by Sunday’s result.

“I think the whole world just lit up and it’s Christmas all over again.”

12TH MANCONTINUED FROM A1

The impact of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run has been big on some local businesses.

Employees at the Whidbey Party Store in Oak Harbor could finally catch their breath after gearing up for Sunday’s Super Bowl, said store owner Robyn Kolaitis.

“I could say compared to last year, we did in 10 days what we did in the entire month of January,” Kolaitis

said, referring to the impact of the Super Bowl on her busi-ness.

Her store sold about 200 12th man flags and went through nearly all of its blue and green balloons.

“It was so much fun,” Kolaitis said. “We were swamped.

“This was excellent for bringing people into the store who hadn’t been to the store before.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITORPolitics

Politician benefits outweigh their service

Editor,

Our highest politicians receive full pay and many other benefits for life after just one short term in office. So should those working in the red- light districts for an equally short time receive the same benefits for their ser-vices provided?

After all, don’t they provide a very similar service to the public?

After all theirs is optional, the former is mandatory.

See a raccoon? Rabbit? Be sure to report it to 911

Editor,

Concerned citizens of Whidbey Island, I think we may have an issue on our collective hands. I was read-ing — with delight as always — the

Whidbey News-Times “Island Scanner” and came upon two very, very discon-certing issues.

It appears that someone reported, “… seeing a raccoon running in the area of Southwest Eighth Avenue.”

Taken aback, I immediately locked my doors and windows and informed my children that school may be can-celed the next day, and that, even if it wasn’t, I would not be letting them go to school.

Asked why, I told them that there was a raccoon outside. They called me crazy, but who is laughing now? Because if a raccoon running around wasn’t crazy enough, I noticed that someone had witnessed, and reported mind you, that “… a rabbit appears to have been hit by a vehicle.”

I hardly slept that night knowing that there were raccoons running wild and cars running over rabbits.

I love Whidbey Island, but I’m con-cerned for my and my children’s safety. Folks, if you see a raccoon or rabbit, be careful and call 9-1-1. That’s what they are there for.

Do not, under any circumstance, approach the raccoon or rabbit, no mat-ter how fluffy or floppy-eared they look.

Theorizing COER wants a government buyout

Editor,

Well after some of the lies have been exposed, it appears Citizens for Ebey’s Reserve’s true intent is finally revealed — to close Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and plunge this community into economic chaos.

I don’t know if they have a clue about how a military installation works, but you just can’t pick up however many squadrons of EA-18G’s there are and move them.

The infrastructure alone would cost millions.

So, if the intent is not to close the base, I am going to offer another theo-ry — they want the government to buy them out.

I urge all concerned residents to contact their representative’s in Washington, D.C. and Olympia and let them know that this minority of people are not an example of how the majority feel.

I do and I hope you will.Mike Van Voorst

Oak Harbor

The past few weeks have been pure electric on Whidbey Island and throughout Washington state.

The excitement and energy that mounted with the Seattle Seahawks’ ascension to the Super Bowl has provided us all with an experience to savor.

And the fact that it has been a boost for some local businesses is the icing on the blue-and-green cake, so to speak.

For me, it’s been great to get caught up in the swell of something overwhelmingly positive, and to see people coming together to have fun and cel-ebrate the success of a great football team.

The Seahawks’ trip to the Super Bowl this time felt different than the last venture. From the moment of their comeback during the playoff game against the 49ers, it felt like the stars had aligned to finally given the team and the 12th Man their time to shine.

Going to the Seahawks’ game against the 49ers was an amazing experience — possibly a once-in-a-lifetime. I had been to the Kingdome for games many years ago, but hadn’t had the opportunity to go to CenturyLink Field.

Where the Kingdome was a cold, gray cement maze of ramps and a hazard with its falling ceiling tiles, CenturyLink Field is a stunning example of a well-designed sports arena. From the moment you walk up the steps, you are enveloped by the buzz of the crowd.

If there was any part of me that still missed the Kingdome — and I suspect there was — it all evapo-rated on that cool Sunday evening.

As the decibal levels began to rise and the floor beneath me shook, I realized that, for one brief moment in time, all of us in that arena were witness-ing a moment in sports history.

And as the game progressed, that one 49er fan who sat a few rows in front of ours wasn’t taunting the crowd behind him anymore.

Like the Super Bowl victory itself, that was also a moment to take in and enjoy.

Seahawks provided us all a moment in time to truly savor

Doctors’ Discovery Helps DiabetesPHILADELPHIA – A team of doctorshas found that a formulation of exoticsounding herbs and spices gives diabeticsnew hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™promotes healthy blood sugar levels by ef-fectively metabolizing glucose into energy.In a research study, all patients taking justone capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily,dramatically lowered their blood sugar lev-els compared to a placebo group. Anotherscientific study found that an ingredient inCinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times morecapable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one pa-tient in the study lowered his blood sugarfrom 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

28 days, despite being instructed not tochange his dietary habits or physical activ-ity. Some patients, under their doctors care,have been able to reduce or eliminate theirneed for diabetic drugs. Scientists say thatCinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugsto work more efficiently. Additional infor-mation is available at www.cinnatrol.com.

It’s irresponsible to keep borrowing more money

An enterprising Associated Press report-er put the cost of the recent $1.1 trillion fed-eral spending bill in per-spective.

At 370,445 words long, it works out to just under $3 million per word – and it funds government operations only through

September. Congress begins a debate on increasing the debt ceiling again this month.

The amount of money the federal govern-ment spends – some say overspends – is so enormous, so massive that the average per-son simply cannot relate. We have no personal experience with numbers that large.

This tax season, H&R Block is airing an ad campaign that puts large amounts of money in perspective.

The ad says American taxpayers who don’t use a tax preparer miss out on $1 billion dol-lars in unclaimed refunds.

To illustrate how much $1 billion is, one ad features 36 huge pallets of money stacked on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

As the announcer talks about unclaimed refunds, a bulldozer pushes the pallets of money into the sea.

Another version shows a man placing stacks of cash on the seats of a massive foot-ball stadium. The announcer explains that $1 billion is enough money to put $500 on every seat of every professional football stadium in the nation.

“This is your money,” the ad intones. “Get your billion back, America.”

Sadly, that $1 billion is peanuts compared to what our government spends.

The money in this most recent spending bill would pile more than $500,000 in cash on each of those stadium seats.

Our $17 trillion national debt would pile $8.55 million in every seat of every football stadium in the nation.

If we started paying off our $17 trillion credit card debt today, peeling off $1 every second, it would take more than half a million years to pay it off. And the debt grows by $2.54 billion each day.

Actually, we’re on the hook for more than

that. Much more.The U.S. government has amassed $127.5

trillion in unfunded liabilities – obligations for Medicare, the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security, military and civil servant pensions that we haven’t budgeted for.

Your individual share? More than $1.1 mil-lion.

Despite this, the spending continues unabated. It’s as if the revelers on the Titanic knew they were headed for an iceberg, but rather than change course, they just ordered more champagne.

We wouldn’t behave that way in our person-al lives. Why are we allowing our government to behave that way?

Imagine if your brother-in-law borrowed money from you because he was falling behind in his bills. But rather than pay his bills, he spent even more.

When he comes to you again, you refuse, citing his profligate spending. “But my chil-dren will starve,” he pleads. “I promise I’ll do better.” So, you lend him more money to pay off his credit cards. Instead, he gets new credit cards and runs up more bills. When he comes to you again he warns, “If you don’t raise my credit card limit, my children will starve.”

That’s pretty much how the President and Congress behave these days.

We have a debt ceiling in this country – our national credit card limit, if you will.

Each year, we spend more than we take in. In order to continue overspending, we must raise the debt ceiling – raise our credit card limit.

Those who suggest that we instead live within our means are shouted down and accused of pushing our nation into default.

So, we borrow more money – and we continue spending more than we take in. It’s irresponsible when our brother-in-law does it, and it’s irresponsible when the President and Congress do it.

But in the end, because we allow it, it’s our fault. And it’s our money.

Reimer said he borrowed a van from friends — a man and a woman — and brought it back five hours later to the residence. The two owners were upset and questioned him about how long he had been gone.

Firth entered the trailer about 10 min-utes later and demanded that Reimer empty his pockets. Reimer complied, later claiming he thought he would get beat up if he didn’t.

“He said that Firth has a reputation for using various weapons on people and hurt-ing them,” the officer wrote in his report.

Firth and her friend, Richard Borgeson, 33, allegedly took his cell phone and a credit card from his wallet, the report states.

Firth and Burgeon forced Reimer to get on his knees and apologize for keeping the vehicle so long. While he was on the floor, they decided to tattoo him.

Firth bent over to look him in the eyes and dropped a handgun in front of him. Reimer felt that she did it on purpose to threaten him, the report states.

Firth asked him to pick a spot for the tattoo and he chose his left shoulder. She

tattooed the words on him with black ink.Reimer told the News-Times that he

allowed Firth, an amateur tattoo artist, to write the words on his because he felt threatened by her and the three other people in the home.

“There was four of them,” he said. “I wasn’t going to take a risk.”

Afterward, Firth slapped him and told him he could either help rob someone or get “socked up,” which means to get “assaulted very bad,” the report states.

Reimer said he agreed to help her with a robbery, but he and Firth “were unable to catch up to the person they were going to rob,” Valenzuela wrote.

Firth later admitted to giving Reimer the tattoo, but said it was something he want-ed to do because he felt bad about keeping the van for so long, the officer wrote.

If convicted of the charges against her, Firth could face up to 14 months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

While Reimer carries the evidence of the alleged assault on his shoulder, he’s getting it removed Friday.

Marie Joan Frank

Marie Joan Frank was born Marie Joan Hazen on Oct.4, 1933 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She died Feb. 1, 2014 in Coupeville, Wash. after a long period of poor health.

A 1956 graduate of The Edmonton General Hospital School of Nursing in Edmonton, Alberta, Marie began a career as a Registered Nurse in Sedro Woolley, Wash. Later, while on vacation in Europe, travel-ing with her father, she decid-ed to stay abroad and became a governess in Paris, working first for a French family then for a world famous American concert solo violinist, caring for the family children and touring Europe with them.

Returning to the United States, she remained with the family for several years in New York City. St. Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village was Marie’s next nursing job until she moved to Florida in 1971.

While in New York, Marie developed an interest in avia-tion which she never lost. After learning to fly, she earned a commercial pilot’s license in 1969 at Teterboro, N.J.; she then added an instrument rating in 1972 after moving to Florida.

It was while flying out of the little country airport at Leesburg, Florida while working toward her instru-ment qualification that she met and married her hus-band, Benjamin “Wes” Frank Jr., who worked at the flight center there and was also a pilot.

Marie was a member of the Grasshoppers Women’s Pilot Club of Florida and also

Frank

The Ninety-Nines, a national women’s pilot club of which Amelia Earhart had been a founding member. Marie flew to many club events all over Florida, finding it interesting, adventuresome, and a great way to log flight hours and see the many sights in that state.

Marie and Wes flew many memorable flights together, and continued this inter-est after moving to Oak Harbor, Washington in 1973. Wes reentered the Navy and received orders to the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

They were both members of the Whidbey Island Navy Flying Club. Marie worked as an RN at Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville.

Enjoying the Northwest experience and being close to relatives in British Columbia and northwest Washington, she was able to re-establish and maintain connections with her extended family members, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Recreational flying was placed on hold when they moved to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1978. “Gitmo” became one of Marie’s favou-rite duty stations, because in 1978 it was a real Navy base, complete with ships and air-planes, and was “small town U.S.A.” with a great family atmosphere.

Nursing at the base hospi-tal was not possible because of her Canadian status, but she found meaningful related employment at the base’s milk plant as quality tes-ter, growing cultures in the laboratory. An active R&R program in Gitmo allowed Marie and Wes off-duty travel to many locations through-out the Caribbean includ-ing Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Haiti. After returning to the U.S., Wes’s assignment was the South Weymouth Naval Air Station, located between Boston and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Marie became a member of the South Shore Registered Nurses Association and was employed as a private duty nurse, a job which gave her many interesting and reward-ing experiences.

Marie’s next great adven-ture occurred when Wes, by then retired from active Naval service and employed as a Navy civilian, was transferred

to Cornwall, England. She quickly settled into British life and three and a half years there were filled with discovery and great satisfac-tion. She participated in very rewarding volunteer work with Age Concern, an organi-zation dedicated to improving the lives of the elderly.

But all too soon, as with most overseas assignments, it was over and a return to the U.S. was necessary; however, this time the disappointment was eased by the fact that they had been transferred back to Whidbey Island, Wash.

It was a great homecom-ing, but after a couple of years, again duty called, and the couple found themselves transferred back to the east coast, with Portsmouth, Virginia and Odenton, Maryland becoming home for the last ten years before Wes’s retirement from gov-ernment service.

Finally retired, they moved back to Whidbey Island in 2010, where they lived and enjoyed all of the beauty and advantages of life in the great Pacific Northwest. Marie is survived by her husband of forty-one years, numerous cousins, nieces, and neph-ews in Washington, British Columbia and other parts of Canada, and by many good friends.

She was always a proud and patriotic Canadian, tracing her ancestry to Sir Charles Tupper, one of the Canadian “Fathers of Confederation.” She was a member of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Oak Harbor, Washington. She was preceded in death by her father Charles Tupper Hazen, her mother Jean Mary (Lequiea) Hazen and her brother Douglas Lorne Hazen, all of Canada. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7, 2014 at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oak Harbor with Rev. Paul Pluth officiating. Viewing will be held 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 6 at Wallin Funeral Home and also 9-10 a.m. at the church. A recep-tion will follow in the Parish Hall. Arrangements entrust-ed to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, Oak Harbor.

OBITUARIES

TATTOOEDCONTINUED FROM A1


A 35-year-old Oak Harbor man is facing charges after allegedly choking a woman and throwing her kitten across a parking lot, court docu-ments state.

Carl J. Phillips, Jr. plead-ed not guilty in Island County Superior Court Jan. 2 to assault in the second degree and ani-mal cruelty in the second degree.

Oak Harbor Police Officer Ronald Esparza investigated the case after responding to a report of possible domestic vio-lence at 4 a.m. on Dec. 29, 2013, at a Northwest

Crosby Avenue apartment complex.

The victim’s neighbor called 911 after hearing screaming.

Esparza wrote that the victim had a bloody lip and marks on her neck.

The woman said that she was sleeping when Phillips came home from a bar and started yelling at her.

He head-butted her and choked her until she couldn’t breath; she was able to get away by hitting him in the groin, accord-ing to Esparza’s report.

Phillips followed the woman as she left the apartment and said, “Here’s your cat.”

“She turned around as

Carl was throwing her 12-week-old cat like a baseball into the parking lot,” Esparza wrote.

The officer wrote that the kitten was thrown about 30 feet; it was bleed-ing from the nose and had a cut on the top of its head, the report states.

Phillips told the officer that he had been at the bar watching Ultimate Fighter with friends earlier in the night.

He denied committing the assault and said he had been asleep for hours.

If convicted of the charges, Phillips could face from three to nine months under the stan-dard sentencing range.

It’s been a special season for Oak Harbor High School wrestler Jahleel Vester.

The senior captain owns a 29-2 record and is ranked third in the state in the 138-pound division. His individu-al accomplishments helped Oak Harbor go undefeated in the Wesco 3A North, win the divisional crown and post a 9-1 season record.

To find one of the reasons for his and the Wildcats’ success, all he has to do is look across the family dinner table.

His younger brother, Jeremy, a 132-pound junior, has amassed a 31-1 record and is ranked fifth in his weight class.

The brothers said what makes this season special isn’t just their success, but getting to share those accom-plishments together.

And, they noted, the sea-son is far from over and there are other clippings to add to their scrapbooks.

The postseason starts this weekend with the sub-region-al tournament at Marysville-Pilchuck Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m.

The pair hope to advance through the qualifying tour-naments and return to state. Jahleel has earned a state trip each year, placing eighth as a freshman and junior. Jeremy qualified each of his two sea-sons but has not placed.

Jahleel’s goal is to finish in the top three; Jeremy is look-ing to place, which is eighth or better.

As a team, Oak Harbor fin-ished 10th at state last winter.

Oak Harbor coach Peter Esvelt said the team goal is to finish among the top three at sub-regional, which features several strong tournament teams. Beyond that, he said, it will depend on how well Oak Harbor’s No. 2 wrestlers in each class do against the varsity athletes from other schools.

At state, the goal is to “fin-ish on the board (top 10) again,” he said.

“At state, all of the wres-tlers are good, and it comes down to the teams and wres-

tlers that rise to the chal-lenge, and I think we have a group that can do that,” Esvelt said.

In addition to the Vesters, Esvelt expects Christian Bertram (113 pounds), Mark Johnston (152) and Jackson Constant (285) to be among the top seeds in the sub-regional

“If we wrestle like we can, we could take 10 onto regionals,” Esvelt said. The top three in each weight class at the sub-regional will advance to the regional meet

at Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School Feb. 15.

The Vesters realize the bet-ter they are as individuals, the better the chance the team reaches its goals. With that in mind, the two often train together in practice, inspiring each other to improve.

“It helps us push each other hard,” Jeremy said.

Jahleel added he is moti-vated to work hard in practice because he “doesn’t want to get pinned by his younger brother.”

Esvelt said Jahleel and

Jeremy are “great to coach” and will practice together “with enough brotherly com-petition” to make the drills “far more competitive than most.”

The two are also good teammates, Esvelt said, and will jump in and show tech-niques to others when the team is working on individual improvements.

The Vesters are similar in their work ethics, records, goals and confidence, Esvelt said, but are different in other areas.

Jahleel is more serious and takes a studious approach to wrestling, and Jeremy is more jovial and less tense in tight situations.

Their wrestling styles fol-low their personalities, Esvelt said. Jahleel is pragmatic, always moving forward. Jeremy “counters great” and “even in the worst position, he usually scrambles out and on top.”

Jahleel is a “great leader,” according to Esvelt, while Jeremy provides “comic relief” in a positive way.

“They carry their heart and faith with them every-where,” Esvelt said. “It is the most genuine display I have seen as a coach, and it trans-lates to a deep caring for their teammates.”

Jahleel, being a senior cap-tain, sees its as his responsi-bility that the Wildcats, as a whole, do well.

“I feel like I can’t slack off in practice; I have to lead by example. When we run sprints, I should be first. When I lose, I try not to dis-play my disappointment; I try to set a good example.”

The two could be wrestling in the same weight class, but Jeremy, being the good younger brother, diets to fit into a lower weight class to allow Jahleel to wrestle at his natural weight.

One obvious questions remains: If the Vesters wres-tled each other, who would win? In response, each sheep-ishly looked at the other and slowly raised his own hand. Brotherly love only goes so far.

Sibling revelry Brothers, buoyed by each other’s and team’s success, lead Oak Harbor into wrestling postseason

‘Cat gets 44 in lossOak Harbor’s Drew Washing-

ton blistered Maryville-Pilchuck for 44 points, the second highest single-game basketball scoring performance in school history, but the visiting Tomahawks somehow escaped with a 75-67 win Monday, Feb. 3.

The Wildcats also lost 79-54 at Shorecrest Friday, Jan. 31, and to visiting Ferndale 81-74 Saturday, Feb. 1, in a nonleague game.

To reach the district tourna-ment, Oak Harbor (4-8, 4-15) needs a win at Marysville Getchell (0-12, 1-18) Wednesday, Feb. 5,

and then in a tie-breaker game at home at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, against M-P or Everett.

Washington hit six three-point-ers on the way to his 44 points, second in OHHS scoring to Pat McGreevey’s 49 in 1953.

Washington also had 21 points in the losses to Shorecrest and Ferndale. Dyllan Harris scored 24 against Ferndale.

Wolves fall to SultanThe Coupeville boys basketball

team lost 79-67 at Sultan Friday, Jan. 31.

The Wolves outscored the Turks 52-48 over the first, third and fourth quarters, but the sec-ond quarter was another story when Sultan racked up 31 points

to 15 for Coupeville.Anthony Bergeron scored 14

points, Gavin O’Keefe 10, Nick Streubel 10, Wiley Hesselgrave nine, Joel Walstad eight, Morgan Payne eight, Aaron Trumbull six and Matt Shank two.

The Wolves (1-11, 3-15) finish up the season at 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, at Granite Falls (5-6, 8-9).

CHS girls lose at lineTwo stats stood out in the

Coupeville girls basketball game with visiting Sultan Friday, Jan. 31. Unfortunately one led directly to the Wolves’ 42-39 loss.

Coupeville missed 19 free throws, hitting only 11 of 30.

The other stat was an impres-sive 24 rebounds by Makana Stone,

but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Wolves’ foul-shooting woes.

Stone also scored 10 points, Maddi Strasburg had nine, Amanda Fabrizi six, Kacie Kiel five, Bree Messner four, Julia Myers four and McKayla Bailey one.

Coupeville (4-7, 8-9) hosts Granite Falls (0-11, 1-16) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7.

The Wolves will open district play at home at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11.

OH girls drop 2 gamesShorecrest and Ferndale each

scored in double figures in every quarter to hand the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team a pair of losses over the weekend.

Visiting Shorecrest defeated

Oak Harbor 65-36 Friday, Jan. 31, then host Ferndale topped the Wildcats 54-24 Saturday, Feb. 1, in a nonleague game.

Against Shorecrest, Jinai Guz-man led Oak Harbor with 10 points, Joanna Leete had six, Jamie Estrella six, Julie Jansen five, Bryn Langrock three, Hayley Lundstrom three, Courtney Triplett two and Liz Lym one.

Jansen added six rebounds and Natalie Fiallos recorded five as-sists.

Against Ferndale, Oak Harbor made only one two-point field goal while hitting six three-pointers.

Leete scored 11 points, Guzman nine, Estrella two, Langrock one and Kenna Prosch one.

Oak Harbor (0-11, 0-18) finishes the season at home against Getch-ell (1-9, 4-13) at 7:15 p.m. Thurs-

PREP ROUNDUP

By JANIS REIDStaff reporter

Joe Kunzler loves watch-ing Navy aircraft operations at Outlying Field Coupeville so much he’s coined his own phrase.

“That’s part of the fun of OLF-ing,” Kunzler said. “You never know when it’s going to start until they do it.”

Kunzler was waiting impatiently Jan. 6 for the first scheduled Field Carrier Landing Practice operations, or touch-and-gos, of 2014. He was ready with camera in hand and GoPro video recorder attached to his ball cap, which was embroidered with a jet and the letters “EA-18G.”

Shortly after 3 p.m., the first EA-18G Growler electronic air attack aircraft appeared above the tree line.

“I’ve been waiting for this

for a long time!” said an excited Kunzler.

Landing practices were suspended at OLF in May 2013, just prior to a fed-eral lawsuit filed against the Navy demanding an Environmental Impact Statement be conducted and calling for the closure of OLF. The group, the anti-noise Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, has since said they want all the Growlers removed from the island.

An unabashed supporter of the Navy from Sedro-Woolley, Kunzler became

a controversial figure at public forums, in the media and on his own blog — as a result of his often-vehement and, arguably, inflammatory defense of the Navy and its operations at OLF.

Often criticized for get-ting involved in Whidbey Island politics, the Skagit County resident said he was compelled to speak after intense criticism of the Navy’s jet noise as a member of the Whidbey-based Navy League.

Recently, after roughly 18 months of involvement, Kunzler said he is hang-ing it up. Last month, he took down his website and announced at a January county commissioner meet-ing his plans to stay out of Whidbey Island politics.

“I’ve become introspec-tive,” Kunzler said. “I decid-

ed no more public comment. It’s time for me to focus on controlling what I can. If I’m going to Island County meet-ings acting like a jerk... it’s a distraction.”

Still, Kunzler has left his mark on the public debate surrounding the Growler and the presence of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

NEW PURPOSEJoining the Navy League

of Oak Harbor in January 2012 was one of the best things that’s ever happened

to him, Kunzler said.Son of a Navy veteran,

Kunzler had wanted to be a fighter pilot since he was young. Born with Asbergers — a form of autism — and suffering from a bad back, bad left eyesight and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder — limited his ability to serve his country the way he’d hoped.

“I can’t serve in the mili-tary because of my multiple disabilities,” Kunzler said. “That’s why I joined the Navy League.”

On his blog, he described how guys like him are written off as a “vegetable, retard, stalker,” even thought he is someone who “just wanted to serve my country like every other American.”

The Navy League, Kunzler said, provided him with a social connection and sense of purpose he craved.

“When you can put on that Team U.S.A. jersey and go out on the field, and stick up for these guys, life makes sense,” Kunzler said. “I feel like I’m part of the team; I feel like I’m caretaking of my nation.”

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, a fellow Navy Leaguer, describes Kunzler as intelligent and outspoken.

“He’s pretty well versed and he means well,” Brown said, but added, “he get’s a little over the top when people rub him the wrong way.”

In addition to his physical limitations, Kunzler said he

suffers from PTSD, a result of two armed men wearing ski masks entering the home he shares with his parents during an attempted robbery in 2010.

His father, whom Kunzler asked not be identified, fired on the intruders. Both men escaped, but appeared at area hospitals within a few hours of the break-in, police reported.

The incident left Kunzler shaken, but also deepened his affection for his father.

“I have a lot of respect for my father,” Kunzler said.

Kunzler said he supports the Navy and his father’s service in it because it pro-vides security to the country but especially to the parents he cares so deeply about.

“The Navy is protecting them,” he said.

GAUNTLET THROWN

Kunzler refers to 2012 as “the year of Ken Pickard.”

Pickard was the outspo-ken COER president and a leader of the anti-OLF and Growler movement on Central Whidbey; he later resigned his position with

the group. COER filed a lawsuit

against the Navy over jet noise in July 2013.

Kunzler said his involve-ment on the issue was sparked by Pickard’s attacks on the Navy.

In an email to county com-missioners, Pickard wrote: “It is time for you ‘represen-tatives’ to get some balls and take the death machine on this issue, quit licking their jackboots! Buck up!”

Pickard was known for

making similar statements online and in public forums.

“It hurt me to hear that kind of rhetoric,” Kunzler said. “Pickard and his com-ments put me over the edge. The pro-military side was not being heard until the lawsuit.”

Pickard said he doesn’t recall when Kunzler joined the debate but remembers meeting him early on at a community meeting at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

“We seemed to get along fine,” Pickard said.

“Am I unfairly attacking the Navy? I don’t think so,” Pickard said in an email response to questions. “The Navy has ‘attacked’ all of Central Puget Sound, con-demning the entire region through jet noise and vibra-tion. As I said, I never read what Joe and the other com-mentators say about me so I have no thoughts about their comments.

“I know what I am doing is worthy, ethically correct, and just, and for the benefit of all of the human and ani-mal residents of our region.”

GROWLER NOISETo do his part, Kunzler

created his blog, a platform where he could post photos of the Growlers and share knowledge of the military and its aircraft. He also hurled responses and insults to Pickard and other Navy detractors, among them North Whidbey resident Garrett Newkirk.

“This isn’t just about avia-tion photography, it’s about sticking up for the troops,” Kunzler wrote. “Enough’s enough. I’ve felt that way since August 2012 when progressive agitators just turned the Island County Commissioners’ meetings into a hostile environment for our troops. Now that’s changed -— it’s hostile for the progressive agita-tors, NOT pro-troop forces because guys like I just drew a line and held it.”

BOILING POINTDuring an August Island

County Commissioner meeting, Kunzler said he felt outnumbered by jet noise critics during a public comment period. He booed and interrupted other speakers and received a rebuke for his behavior from Commissioner Jill Johnson.

While addressing the board, Kunzler told an audi-ence member to “shut up” and called her a “Nazi.” Several in the audience cried foul as Kunzler sat down and then allegedly told a woman in the audience to “go to hell.”

Kunzler later apologized to the board, but refused to apologize to certain people in the audience.

During a December public meeting about the Growlers, Kunzler was escorted out of Coupeville High School by marshal’s deputies after a heated discussion with retired educator Harry Toulgoat.

“All those school children that you grew up with that didn’t want you as their friend, they had you pegged as a problem from the begin-ning and you remain so now,” Toulgoat told him.

Toulgoat later said he was referencing Kunzler’s blog, on which he discussed how he used to be teased by kids at school because of his dis-abilities. Toulgoat said he wasn’t aware of Kunzler’s Aspergers.

Both men later expressed regret over the argument, and it was a turning point for Kunzler.

A STEP BACKKunzler concedes he may

have been over-involved for a nonresident and has learned to empathize some-what with criticizing jet noise.

His message now: It’s time for Whidbey Island to solve its own problems.

“I love the noise, absolute-

ly love the noise,” Kunzler said. “But I don’t like how people are having adverse impacts.”

Kunzler said he was not aware that until recently that real estate agents were giving out a brief, non-specific noise disclosure. The island’s real estate com-munity updated the form last month.

“I think I did not know what the whole story is,” Kunzler said. “Had I known about the noise disclosure fiasco I would not have said these people were told. I’m more empathetic of resi-dents …”

Kunzler said he wanted his blog to “try to convey information to the public” but said, “it’s hard to do that when everyone is scream-ing.”

He admits that his own inflammatory language lent credence to “the crazy distraction” that became his online presence.

“People should be able to go to their civic spaces for solutions,” Kunzler said. “I have hurt that space. I’ve really tried to change direc-tion. It’s time for the average Whidbey Island resident to speak up.”

Moving forward, Kunzler said that he plans to attend community college and focus on military history, while continuing to photo-graph his favorite aircraft — the EA-18G Growler.

“Now I want to show my support my with my cam-era, not with my mouth,” Kunzler said. “Not get baited into knee-jerk responses.”

After an afternoon of photographing Navy jets and taking in the roaring jet noise well past sun down, Kunzler was already plan-ning his next “OLF-ing” trip.

When asked, “You really enjoy this don’t you?”

He said, “Every time.”“Every time.”
