Marathon funding do-over stumblesBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter
Though the City of Oak Harbor owns the Whidbey Island Marathon, the event may not receive any of the city’s lodging tax funds for 2015.
After a complicated and politically tinged
series of events, the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, known as the LTAC, declined to reconsider a funding request from the new race director during a tense meeting Wednesday afternoon.
Committee members Michelle Curry, Lee Ann Mozes and Ron Apgar voted not
to listen to a second-chance presentation by Melissa Riker, the new race director.
“If you are not prepared for your presenta-tion, we should not award that,” said Mozes, who represents the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce on the committee.

Whidbey General Hospital’s Board of Commissioners adopted their legal budget this week.
This budget, approved Monday, according to Chief Operating Officer Terry Litke, is the estimated amounts for budget increases in the 2015 calendar year, and the detailed bud-get is yet to be completed.
The legal budget is required to be com-pleted by the end of November in order to set the property taxes, which will increase by the maximum-allowed 1 percent, in time.
Monday morning, the board approved
three resolutions.The first resolved to adopt the legal budget
and the 1 percent tax increase. The other two

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks dis-cusses a budget request with county commis-sioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson.
By JANIS REIDStaff reporter
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks was scolded Wednesday by the board of commis-sioners after requesting additional money just one month after a 2015 budget was adopted.
The commissioners ultimately approved, in a 2-1 vote, Bank’s request for an additional $4,000 in wages for a deputy prosecutor but not before making their displeasure clear.
“I would have preferred to have this brought to our attention during the budget conversation,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said.
“We should have anticipated this in the budget as a given.
“It’s frustrating is what it is.“I’m gonna move forward with it, but I
don’t want it to happen again. I don’t know how to better communicate the need to antici-pate those costs that are driven by contract.”
After “scraping” together the 2015 budget and choosing to not fund some key positions, Commissioner Jill Johnson said she was not in favor of approving a request that should have been planned for.
Johnson cast the dissenting vote.“We haven’t even had this budget adopted
Banks scolded for post-budget funding request

Ben Kroll and his daughter, Abigail, 2, waited expectantly for “Uncle Josh” to land his EA-6B Prowler at Ault Field and climb out of the cockpit.
“Uncle Josh is coming,” Abigail said. “It’s going to be loud.”
Around 11:30 a.m. Friday, Kroll was able to greet friend and pilot Josh Brown, who arrived with the other Prowlers with Electronic Attack Squadron 134.
The Garudas’ nine-month deployment aboard the USS George H.W. Bush marks the squadron’s — and Navy’s — final deployment of the Prowler.
“It’s great,” said Kroll, who is a pilot with VAQ-140. “They have been gone for some time.”Cheryl Jason, wife of the squadron’s commanding officer,

Island County Housing Authority’s new pride and joy in Freeland is once again raising the ire of neighbors.
Following heavy rains last week, Sunny View Village, a $6.3-million affordable housing project still under construction, was blamed for shuttling stormwater onto an adjacent property. Warren and Minda Wicher allege the problem is the result of an issue with the development’s catchment system and reten-tion pond as water pouring from an outfall is collecting on the northeast corner of their six-acre lot.
Sunny View and its prop-erty is located between Scenic Avenue and Highway 525.
The Wichers say they voiced concerns about the potential problem early on in the development’s planning stages and are not pleased with the emerging problem.
“I predicted this,” Warren Wicher said, motioning to the flooded area of his prop-erty.
“I’m all for growth, but not this,” he added.
Teri Anania, executive director for the Housing Authority, could not be reached by press time.
According to a construc-tion supervisor who was inspecting the area this week, the catchment system is working properly, but the problem lies with missing infrastructure along the state highway.
“The water was designed to flow down to a ditch that’s not there,” said Gary Hays, superintendent Veteran’s NW Construction.
While the Wichers claim the flooding is a new prob-lem, Hays said he couldn’t verify whether that’s indeed
the case. If true, however, he said a fix will be required. New developments are not allowed to dump stormwater onto neighboring proper-ties. A solution may require the state’s involvement, and could take months to address, he said.
The crux of the issue and determining any future action will likely hinge on whether or not this is real-ly a new problem, accord-ing to Quin Clements, vice president of Freeland-based Davido Consulting Group, the engineering firm that designed the development.
Topographical maps and aerial photography indi-cate that the affected area is a natural water collection point, said Clements, and that makes it doubtful that the property hasn’t suffered from flooding in the past.
“The problem is the low spot is their property,” Clements said.
There isn’t much the Housing Authority, as devel-opers, can do to address a
natural problem on adjacent private property, he said. Clements was expected to meet with John Bertrand, development coordinator for Island County Public Works, to discuss the issue.
Bertrand performed Sunny View’s drainage review for the development’s site plan review. He said it’s still too early to tell whether corrective or mitigating mea-sures will be required as it’s not yet clear what or where the problem lies.
Built by the Housing Authority, Sunny View aims to provide workforce and low-income housing for South Whidbey. Eighteen units are designated for families who make 50 and 60 per-cent below the area median income — about $36,000 at 50 percent — and seven units are reserved for homeless housing. One unit will house an onsite property manager.
The project has been in the works for years and been plagued with hurdles. Unpopular with many in the
Freeland area, the project was heavily criticized for its cost and chosen location, and was nearly derailed in 2013 for sewage treatment requirements. The develop-ment was bogged down with permitting headaches for years and the source of a finding by the state Auditor’s Office last year.
Most recently, Maxwelton resident Rufus Rose, Minda Wicher’s father, raised con-cerns about pedestrian safety,
Rose has been a vocal crit-ic of the new development, arguing against its placement off Scenic Road.
Both he and Minda Wicher attended the com-missioner’s meeting Monday and complained about the flooding. Much of the criti-cism was focused on Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson.
“I’m asking you to do the right thing and stop sticking it to us,” Minda Wicher said.
Rose told the board that the development’s infiltration system was broken, causing adjacent wetland to be divert-ed onto his daughter’s land.
“Obviously it’s not working and damaging a neighbor’s property,” Rose said. “The development is required to correct the problem they have created.”
Price Johnson, who rep-resents south and central Whidbey Island, said she would follow up with staff to find out what mitigation measures were built into the permitting process.
After the meeting adjourned, Rose had strong words for Price Johnson because he said she was not being responsive enough to their concerns.
“You’re not an empress, Helen,” Rose said while still seated in the audience.
Price Johnson left the hearing room when attempts to discuss the matter were dismissed by Rose.
“I don’t want to hear what you have to say,” Rose said.

With another ballot count this week, Island County commissioner candidate Rick Hannold slightly increased his narrow lead.
The North Whidbey Republican said Thursday that he’s confident it’s “math-ematically impossible” for him to lose. A recount is required, but he said he’s not worried.
Hannold said he’s excited to get started, though his swear-ing-in will be a little delayed because of the recount.
Hannold said he said he hasn’t heard from his chal-lenger, Camano Island Democrat Karla Jacks. She could not be reached for com-ment.
The vote counting has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for the two candidates, though Hannold has always main-tained a lead.
With a count on Thursday, Hannold currently has 14,828 votes and Jacks has 14,789. That’s a difference of 139 votes.
Hannold was ahead by 301 votes on election night and increased his lead to 416 votes in the next day’s count.
Jacks closed the gap to 134 votes in the next count as ballots from Camano Island made their way to the elec-tions office.
Michele Reagan, elections supervisor at the county’s Auditor’s Office, sent out a notice Thursday explaining that 111 ballots with post-marks of Nov. 4 or before were received since the last count; in addition, 13 ballot signature issues were resolved.
In total, the office had 160 uncounted ballots with signa-ture issues on election night.

Cathy Lee Wade’s years as a librarian speaks vol-umes about her interest.
Oak Harbor’s librarian for 22 years, Wade helped to raise the library from a basement that was once its home into a building shared with the city and Skagit Valley College.
With her 90th birthday approaching, Wade’s chil-dren are throwing her a party. It will be held at the library she helped expand.
During the 20 years Wade worked as librar-ian, the facility went from books and a card catalog to microfilm and, ultimately, to everything being online, said current managing librarian Mary Campbell.
“It’s just continued to
grow and change.”Wade was hired as head
librarian in 1974, after the death of her husband and father of her three children.
“It think it helped her make her way for herself after my dad died,” said Wade’s daughter, Patti Wade. “And to connect with the community and have something independent that she could do that was different than just raising the children.”
Cathy didn’t start out as the head librarian and didn’t have a degree in library sci-ence, she said. In fact, she held several jobs outside of the field before joining the library.
That’s where she found the job that fit.
“I’ve always been a read-er,” she said.
Cathy Wade said nar-rowing down the best part about the job is difficult, but it was “the people that
came in and also the books and seeing the new books that came out, and just the people that I worked with.
“It’s a wonderful job,” Wade said.
Patti Wade said that growing up with a librarian for a mom meant that there were “tons of books.”
“We read all the time,” Patti Wade said. “We’re all very comfortable with the library, and my brother and I are teachers. My sister majored in English just like I did.
“It was really cool to be able to stay after school and
walk to the library,” Patti added. “It’s a great place. All of us love it.”
For Patti, one good part about her mother working in the library was being around to hear her and the other librarians “hush people and go back to their booth and talk really loudly.
“It was a perfect job for raising kids on her own and teaching us to be indepen-dent because she worked nights all the time,” Patti Wade said. “She just loved the community and the library, and we love Oak Harbor.”
After her retirement in 1996, Wade joined the Friends of the Library, which she’s still a mem-ber of, though she doesn’t attend events as often since she can no longer drive.
“Young readers should visit the library often and find things to read,” Wade said. “They have programs for children at the library and also for adults.”
Campbell said that a part of Wade’s legacy is ensur-ing that children are able to have early literacy pro-grams, such as Story time.
Having her birthday
party at the library is something that’s not usu-ally done, according to Campbell. The party will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 29, in the library’s meeting room.
“We normally would not use our meeting room for a birthday,” Campbell said, “but because Cathy was such an important part of our library’s history, we made an exception.”
“She loves the library, and she was there for a long time,” Patti Wade said.
“I just thought it was the perfect place.”

OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITORElection
Has been a privilege to serve as treasurerEditor,
I would like to thank you for the faith and support you have bestowed upon me as I served as your Island County treasurer. Though I was not successful in my bid to continue to serve you, I have no regrets.
I am very proud of the accomplish-ments made during my tenure. From eliminating the backlog in supplement processing — adjustments to property taxes due — to decreasing banking costs more than 70 percent, I have been driven to improve the services to you, the citizens of Island County.
This has always been my goal. I have already laid the groundwork
for the next year: fully establishing eREET — electronic Real Estate Excise Tax transactions — setting up a software terminal at the Camano Annex so residents can pay property taxes in “real time,” having a deputy from my office assist the residents of Camano Island with any questions/
concerns they may have during routine monthly visits, to name a few.
I can only hope that the incoming treasurer continues these steps.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you in all capacities since I first came onboard this office in 2005.
Wherever the good Lord sees fit to send me, I will always remember the trust you bestowed upon me.
May God bless you always.Ana María d Nuñez, CPAIsland County Treasurer
Safety
Think about securing firearms this ChristmasEditor,
Buy a dad or loved one a gun safe for Christmas.
I waited in the aftermath of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting to write this letter so as to not jump on the emotional bandwagon.
Please buy a dad or loved one who needs a gun safe one for Christmas.
School students are a very emotional bunch who don’t need access to guns. I think the best things we as dads can
do to contribute to lowering school gun violence is prevent easy access or unintended access to guns.
As a believer in our Second Amendment rights, I still see the need or responsibility to lock up our guns when not using them for sport or hunt-ing.
I know there are other Second Amendment rights advocates who don’t believe a useful gun is one that is locked up.
But we live in a different world than the one I initially grew up in. Even as a Concealed Weapons Permit holder, we need to lock up our guns for the sake of our children and future grandchildren.
Please buy someone that needs one a gun safe for Christmas, and please use it.

SEE MORE LETTERS, A7
With the return Friday of Electronic Warfare Squardon 134, the Garudas, the last of the EA-6Bs currently on deployment from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station are back home.
For those who have lived on Whidbey for any length of time, it is a bittersweet transition from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler.
Early next year, the full transition from the Prowler to the Growler will be complete. VAQ-134 will be the last squadron at NAS Whidbey to fly the old work-horse EA-6B.
The first EA-6B arrived at NAS Whidbey in January 1971 and was deployed to service in the Vietnam War in 1972.
While not the prettiest or flashiest aircraft flown in the armed services, the Prowler is outfitted with an electronic warfare system and has long been appreciated for its long-range flight and all-weather capabilities.
Built by Grumman, the Prowler has been a familiar sight over Whidbey Island for decades. According to the Navy, it was built for carrier and advanced base operations.
It has the basic airframe of the now-retired A-6 Intruder, but with the addition of a forward cockpit that allows for a crew of four, one pilot and three responsible for countermeasures.
The EA-6B supported strike aircraft, ships and ground troops by degrading the enemy’s early warn-ing capability and electronic weapons systems.
Avionics contained in the aircraft enabled it to navigate under all weather conditions without refer-ence to ground navigation aids, fly high altitude or low level profiles, and intercept and jam enemy elec-tronic emissions by means of its primary “weapon,” the tactical jamming system, according to a website documenting Navy history and aircraft.
In a nutshell, the Prowler has been a tenacious, enduring workhorse that is flying off into the sunset after more than 40 years in service. It has played a pivotal role in the defense of the United States, and is deserving of our appreciation.
While the EA-6B certainly can’t fly on forever, it certainly seems like it could have.
For that, the Prowler will be remembered.
OUR VIEWPOINT
well as construction com-panies in Washington and even the state Department of Transportation, comply with Initiative 594 when it becomes law, and will this state’s prosecuting attorneys prosecute those who don’t?
The definition of firearm contained in state law and in I-594 reads, “… A weapon or device from which a pro-jectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.”
Notice the key words “or device” in the definition.
Walmart and many sport-ing goods stores sell 12-gauge flare guns used for signaling straight off the shelves.
These flare guns have previously been deter-mined to be firearms by the WSP Crime Lab in Tacoma because they fire a projectile by an explosive.
I-594 requires background checks for these sales, loans and transfers.
Home Depot, Lowe’s and other hardware stores sell Ramset nail guns, which use a gunpowder charge to fire nails, usually into concrete or steel.
These nail guns have actu-ally been used in the past to murder people. I-594 requires background checks on these sales, loans and transfers.
When the Washington DOT sends out their artil-lery gun with a road crew for avalanche control, there is no exception in I-594 for that temporary transfer.
I-594 requires a back-ground check for it.
I-594 also requires that the gun be delivered to the federal firearms license for
the transfer, so which FFL will the Department of Transportation tow their artillery gun to for transfer to the road crew?
If a construction compa-ny has any of these powder actuated nail-driving devices on their shelves for their employees to take to job sites to use — I-594 requires a background check for that temporary transfer.
And if one employee at the job site gives that pow-der actuated nail gun to another employee to use — another background check is required.
Even most of the little plas-tic champagne bottle poppers that shoot the confetti when the string is pulled are devic-es that fire a projectile with an explosive charge — there
is a tiny gunpowder charge in most of them.
Will retail party stores comply with the required background checks, and will they be prosecuted if they don’t?
The question is, are the same people who supported this Initiative now going to insist that it be enforced and violations prosecuted?
We are going to have retail-ers like Home Depot selling semi-automatic firearms as defined by current state law and I-594 to the public right off the shelves with no back-ground checks in direct viola-tion of I-594.
The second sale or transfer becomes a felony. Are we just going to allow these felonies to occur everyday?

GAME OF THE WEEK The Oak Harbor High School swim team competes in the state meet Saturday, Nov. 16, in Federal Way.SPORTS
WHIDBEY
By JIIM WALLERSports editor
It seems even Olympic medalists have to do their own laundry.
Oak Harbor High School graduate Marti Malloy, who won a bronze medal in judo in the 2012 London Olympics, discussed her career during a phone interview last month in between folding clothes at a San Jose laundromat.
Malloy said her life has become a cycle of training, flying and competing, all squeezed around graduate school.
Winning an Olympic medal brought the expected positive impact, Malloy said, but it also stirred up some negative feedback.
“I am a lot more confident after the Olympics,” Malloy said. “I sacrifice so much time training, it is great to see all that lead up to winning.”
However, it is “amazing what people will say to you,” she said.
“I get messages that are
critical; I’ve seen a side of people I didn’t want to see.”
Malloy’s athletic goals are to win a world championship and an Olympic gold medal.
After finishing second in the World Cup last year, Malloy felt this would be her year to finish at the top of the podium ---- then she saw the draw.
She was placed in what was called the “Pool of Death,” along with several other of the weight class’s best judoka.
Not only that, she was scheduled to meet the defending Olympic gold medalist in the first round.
Undeterred, Malloy won the match in only 24 sec-onds. That high was dashed when she lost in the second round on a minor score to a fighter she defeated at the Olympics.
Such is life in her weight class, 57 kilos, considered by many experts as the most talented in the sport.
“My category is one of the most contested,” Malloy said.
“It is a toss up who will win the next Olympics. Anyone who bets on who will win gold is likely to lose money.”
Malloy is on a whirlwind schedule this fall, jetting around the world to compete and train, including a week in Brazil to fight professionally for a club team.
That helps pay for some of the bills, as does Dollamur Sports Surfaces.
Dollamur became a spon-sor of Malloy’s when she became an elite athlete.
Among Dollamur’s prod-ucts is the Malloy Olympic Home Mat, and profits from its sales go to Breast Cancer Awareness and helping Malloy defray tournament costs.
When will Malloy retire from judo?
“That is the question of the century,” Malloy said.
A naturally retiring spot would be after winning a gold at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
“I believe every day I can win it,” she said. “I want to be
an Olympic champion.”That doesn’t necessarily
mean she will quit once the goal is met.
“I don’t want to set any-thing in stone,” Malloy said, noting she isn’t sure she could step aside when she is at the pinnacle of her sport.
Malloy, 28, moved to San Jose to train when she was 16 and went on to graduate from San Jose State University.
When she made the move
to California as a teenager, it was a “rough time.”
“I missed home and I became jaded,” Malloy said. “The love for judo left. It took a couple of months, but it came back. I’m lucky; I could be doing a job.”
She is back at San Jose State and about half way through her graduate pro-gram in news media/mass communications.
She will return to Oak
Harbor Dec. 20 to visit her family for the holidays.
“I love coming home,” she said. “My dad loves taking me places ---- I think he likes showing me off. The people we meet are so nice.
“These are my dreams; you don’t ask others to get on board, but they do ---- it’s heartwarming.”
And maybe one of these fans will offer to do her laun-dry.

Though Coupeville High School football coach Tony Maggio resigned last week after three years directing the program, he won’t dis-appear from the Central Whidbey
athletic scene.“I want to go and enjoy the
games,” Maggio said. “I love this community; whether it is volleyball, basketball ---- whatever I can go to ---- I will be there.
“I am proud to be a Wolf.”Maggio recently took a position
with the Sherwin Williams Paint Company, and that commitment makes it difficult to coach, he said.
“I am grateful Sherwin Williams allowed me to continue to coach this year and not leave in midsea-son,” he said.
Another factor in his decision to step down is his family.
“They have sacrificed a lot over the past 10 years of me coaching,” Maggio said. “It is time I gave back to April, Sawyer and Anthony.”
Under Maggio’s watch, the Wolves improved each season. Coupeville won two games in 2012, four last year and five this season.
Maggio said wins is one way to measure the growth of a program but added there is more to the equation.
“For me, I just wanted the kids to get better every year,” he said. “Also, I wanted us to get involved with the community.”
An example of the latter came this fall when his club helped the Clark family.
“Our kids have demonstrated compassion for others,” Maggio
said. “After Sharon Clark’s husband passed, our team went to her home and did lawn work, odd jobs to get ready for Kevin’s memorial ser-vice.”
By helping others, Maggio said, “The kids learn respect, giving back to their community, love for each other and how to work hard to achieve goals.”
The highlights of his three years, he said, came both on and off the field.
“I think beating South Whidbey two out of three years was impor-tant for our program, and each year winning more games than the year before,” he said.
“My fondest memories are of the people I have met- and the love this community showed me and my family.”
Maggio likes where the program is heading: “(It) is in great shape; we do not need any rebuilding. We have great young athletes that are going to do great things. This team should be able to compete for a league championship next season.”
Maggio said his and the team’s
success wouldn’t have been achieved without the support of his family, including his mother, Glenna Parsons, and father, Chuck Maggio.
“I love them very much and I thank them for all they have done for me,” he said.
Will he return to the sidelines someday?
“Maybe. Never say never.”
WIAA honors BayneIn other Coupeville football news,
the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association selected senior Josh Bayne as their 1A Athlete of the Week.
Bayne was recognized for his all-around performance in the Wolves’ 55-38 win over Bellevue Christian Friday, Nov. 7.
Bayne rushed for 311 yards, caught two passes for 40 yards and scored six touchdowns. On defense, he recorded seven tackles, recovered a fumble and grabbed an interception.

As two sisters arranged flowers behind the counter of the Greenhouse Florist and Nursery on a recent morning, they reflected on more carefree days when they used to crawl around the floor as kids and hide inside boxes.
“Everybody here ended up in a floral box,” Chrystal Lagasse said. “Even the dogs.”
Lagasse and Nigell Hutson were raised around the Greenhouse Florist and Nursery in Oak Harbor similar to how their mother, Audrey Butler, was.
All three now work at the family business, which is celebrating its 60th anniver-sary with a holiday open house from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15.
Hutson’s daughter has worked at the store on occa-sion, marking four genera-tions of family involvement.
“It’s awesome,” Hutson said. “It’s all we’ve ever known.”
Butler and her younger brother Henry Vanden Haak are co-owners of the florist and nursery busi-ness, embodying the les-sons, traditions and work ethic instilled by their par-ents, who took over the business in 1954.
All of Tennis and Sylvia Vanden Haak’s five children were raised in the busi-ness, which started out on Midway Boulevard before moving to its present loca-tion on NE Seventh Avenue in 1980.
“From the day you were born to the day you start-ed moving away,” Henry Vanden Haak said.
“You want to eat? You work. That’s the way we were raised.”
Henry Vanden Haak
never left.He’s had his “fingers in
the dirt” all of his life, tend-ing to the nursery end of the business.
Butler has carried on the floral aspect like her mother, leaving the busi-ness only during the five years her husband was still in the Navy.
“We’ve worked in the business all of our lives,” she said. “I started deliver-ing when I was 16.”
Greenhouse Florist and Nursery has been operated by Butler and Vanden Haak since 1992 after other sib-lings moved on from the family business.
They’ve watched other longtime Oak Harbor busi-nesses close after owners reached their retirement years and seen the econ-omy and consumer habits change over the years.
They made the neces-sary adjustments once tough times hit and con-stantly try to plan ahead for what might be in the future.
The current staff of nine is less than half of what it once was when the nurs-ery end of the business was particularly thriving in the late 1990s through the early 2000s.
Floral has been the steadiest, strongest aspect of the business over the years, Vanden Haak said.
“There’s going to be slow days and busy days,” he said. “You have to focus on down the road. If you’re worrying about what’s hap-pening today, you’re not going to be there tomor-row.”
Butler said she’s grateful for the Oak Harbor commu-nity and it calls it a “passion and sense of duty” to serve and take care of customers
who call on her business to express themselves to others.
She said she’s also blessed to have been raised in a strong family without conflicts.
She said that she and her brother work well together and have come up with a simple solution in writing should there be a disagree-ment in how to run the business.
“We flip a coin,” Butler said.
“And in all these years, we’ve never flipped a coin. I guess that’s a statement in itself.”
Still, there’s another pos-sible explanation to the business’ longevity, Butler said.
“Dutch. Stubborn Dutch,” she said. “That’s built in us, too. We’ve very stubborn. We don’t give up too easily.”
Their parents emigrated from The Netherlands to the United States through Philadelphia in 1948 after World War II and went directly to the home of their sponsors in Oak Harbor.
Those sponsors were John and Audrey Bultman, owners of Whidbey Florist and Greenhouse on Midway Boulevard.
Tennis Vanden Haak immediately started work-ing for the Bultmans, and he and his wife purchased the business from them in 1954, the same year they became U.S. citizens.
They passed the business onto their children when it changed its name and loca-tion in 1980.
Henry Vanden Haak said the store brings constant memories of his parents, who died barely a month a part from the other in the spring of 2011.
The business brings a lifetime of memories to the entire family, many that put a smile on Butler’s face.
Such as the time when Lagasse, now 31, found a box full of glitter when she was a toddler.
“She was 2, maybe 3,” Butler said. “It ended up all over the floor and in her mouth.
“It’s a classic picture.”

Christopher Jason, said she was incredibly proud of her husband. He assumed com-mand of the squadron mid-deployment in June.
While each deployment comes with its own challeng-es, Jason said it’s best just to keep busy and take it one day at a time.
“It’s always one of the hap-piest moments for the families when they come home,” said Capt. Mike Norter, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station’s commanding officer.
“We going to do some traveling,” said Silvia Conner, who greeted her husband Friday. “He’s going to want to stretch his legs after being locked in that steel box for
nine months.”VAQ-134 is the final Navy
squadron to transition to the new EA-18G Growler, which will be completed early next year. This will mark the end of an era for the Prowler dat-ing to the early 1970s.
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marines.
VAQ-134’s deployment began in February in sup-port of Operation Enduring Freedom. During the first few months, the Garudas flew 104 combat missions over Afghanistan, according to the Navy.
Four months into deploy-ment, the USS George H.W. Bush was ordered to support Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq and Syria. While per-forming operations against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, the Garudas flew 109 combat missions.
for a month and now we’re getting a request for a budget amendment,” Johnson said. “I’m saying no, just so you know. I’m sorry for him, but this would have been a much easier conversation if it had been built into the budget, but it wasn’t. And we were really clear and communica-tive about what our expecta-tions were.”
“Thank you for the scold-ing,” Banks said.
“I obviously dropped the ball.”
While the county commis-sioners oversee a large part of the county’s services and staffing, elected officials such as the prosecutor, the sher-iff, the auditor, the assessor and others are independently elected department heads who do not answer to the board.
Still, commissioners con-trol the budget and elected officials must go before the board for monetary requests.
Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan, who, along with Price Johnson, approved the prosecutor’s request, said he agreed with the other board members but didn’t want Banks’ error to impact the employee.
“I’m not going to penal-ize a worthy and deserving employee because it’s a little bit of trouble for us and Greg didn’t give us a good idea about what was coming up,” Vaughan said.
Earlier this year, Sheriff Mark Brown opposed a coun-ty attempt to move sheriff’s deputy files into the county’s human resources office.
Banks assisted Brown in arguing that as indepen-dently elected leaders, they have the right to maintain and house their own person-nel records.
Price Johnson raised that issue with Banks Wednesday,
saying that if they are going to house their own personnel files, they should be main-taining them appropriately.
“You have asked repeat-edly of us that you are the steward of these employees, you’ve advocated that per-sonnel records should stay with elected officials, and yet, I’m at a loss as well,” Price Johnson said.
“That should be some-thing that all departments should be reviewing on a regular basis.”
In a Friday telephone interview, Price Johnson said overall the elected officials work well together and that relationships have improved since she took office five years ago.
“When I was first elected, not many elected officials attended the roundtables,” Price Johnson said, adding that attendance has markedly increased.
Still, as the county’s fidu-ciary body, the board deci-sions can cause tensions over money.
“It must be frustrating to have the autonomy but not the budget authority,” Price Johnson said.
Price Johnson pointed out that the state-designed leadership paradigm makes elected officials answerable to the voter, not the board of commissioners, allowing each to advocate freely for their departments.
Earlier this year, Ana Maria Nuñez, who served as treasurer until she was unseated this month by for-mer chief deputy treasurer Wanda Grone, was also repri-manded by the board.
Camano Island’s 2014 tax statements had gone out incorrectly, causing the county to be bombarded with concerned phone calls and emails.
The error led to the issu-ance of 12,000 clarification letters, costing the trea-surer’s office an additional $4,500 in postage alone.

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

were to approve the actual dollar amount increases for emergency medical ser-vices and for maintenance and operations, which were $45,537.93 and $8,966, respectively.
The legal budget includes estimated revenue amounts from both the normal operations and non-operating revenues.
Estimated revenues from 2015 are about $1.74 million.
Operating expenses, which are estimated at about $112.3 million, proj-
ect a loss of about $4.9 mil-lion for the coming year.
Hospital administrators estimates that they’ll have $8 million “cash on hand” to support the loss, which leaves $3 million in the reserve.
The current amounts are estimated amounts; actual amounts will be detailed in the final budget.
Litke said the hospital board hopes to have the final budget completed by the end of November.
“The bottom line on the final budget may or may not be a $5 million loss,” Litke said.
“This is our estimate of what it’s going to be at this point in time.”
Mozes said afterward that neither she nor the chamber are anti-marathon.
“I just didn’t want the LTAC to be in a position to have to reconsider applicants over and over again,” she said, “or put into a position to show favoritism.”
Mozes pointed out that the City Council can still decide to send the marathon request back to the committee for reconsideration, which she said would be an appropriate process.
In added wrinkles to the contentious issue, four city council members attended the meeting, creating a quo-rum, a possible violation of the Open Public Meetings Act. No notice of a quorum was issued by the city prior to the meeting.
The meeting was also the scene of questionable parlia-mentary procedure.
Though Mayor Scott Dudley is in another country and couldn’t attend, his shad-ow loomed large during the meeting. He drew attention to marathon changes earlier this year after he replaced long-time race coordinator Tamra Sipes. Dudley said that the city lost money on the event while Sipes earned a big pay-out.
Dudley ousted Sipes as director and selected the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge to run the marathon; Elks member Riker is race director.
The LTAC is composed of appointed volunteers repre-senting the lodging commu-nity and groups that receive the money for tourism-related purposes. The committee reviewed the applications for “hotel-motel tax” funds, listened to presentations and made recommendations to City Council.
The council can no longer change the amounts of the recommendations, other than to zero them out, because of changes in state law.
Riker asked for $50,000 for the marathon, but the com-mittee recommended the event receive nothing. The committee members said her application and presentation were incomplete.
This week, Dudley said he asked Councilman Jim Campbell, the chairman, to reconvene the committee so that funding for the marathon could be reconsidered and the committee members’ questions answered.
During the meeting, how-ever, Campbell said it was actually the city’s finance director who advised him “it would be a good idea” to reconvene the meeting.
In addition to Campbell, council members Danny Paggao, Bob Severns and Beth Munns attended the meeting.
The Whidbey News-Times raised a question about the lack of legal notice of a quo-rum, but City Administrator Larry Cort said the meeting was properly advertised.
The notice, which was posted on the city’s website, wasn’t for a “special council meeting,” which the state Attorney General’s Office says is required for quorums outside of regular meetings; the official opinion was writ-ten specifically for the Oak Harbor City Council several years ago after the News-Times raised questions about proper notice of committee meetings.
The News-Times has no record of a proper notice of the special meeting being sent to the newspaper.
On Thursday, Dudley said the city wasn’t able to prop-erly advertise the meeting if staff wasn’t aware a quorum would develop. He said one of the council members should have left the meeting.
Campbell said he was sur-prised when the three other council members walked in; he said one or more of them should have left.
Cort did not respond to multiple calls for comment.
Mozes and Curry, owner of the new hydroplane event, were clearly displeased with being asked to reconsider their earlier decision. They questioned whether it was proper to give one applicant another shot at the money; Curry asked what the point of the applicant deadline is if it isn’t enforced.
“There was a deadline,” Curry said. “The deadline was missed.”
Mozes agreed.“I feel like it’s important
to follow procedure,” Mozes said. “I feel like it’s playing favorite to one or the other if we open this back up.”
Campbell said the commit-tee is allowed to reconsider applicants as many times as the members want until the council takes action.
At least one member of the audience said she would like a chance to be reconsidered.
Don Devode of the Candlewood Suites argued that the other members were losing sight of the purpose of the committee, which is to award funds to bring more tourists to the city.
“We’re getting hung up on small details,” he said.
Mozes made a motion to “follow procedure” and send the recommendations to the council without reconsidera-tion. It failed in a 3-3 vote, with Mozes, Curry and Apgar voting in favor; Campbell, Devode and Dana Beckman, of the Coachman Inn, voted against the motion.
Campbell then opened up the meeting to attendees.
Christine Cribb, Oak Harbor Chamber director, asked whether the commit-tee was employing Robert’s Rules of Order, claiming that
the chairman shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Cort responded that it is appropriate and it is the com-mon practice of the commit-tee.
In fact, a check of multiple websites about Robert’s Rules of Order and the Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, which the council adopted, shows that the chair is allowed to vote, especially on committees and small boards.
Munns said she was the chairwoman of the commit-tee for years and she never voted unless to break a tie.
After the meeting, Dudley claimed Munns’ statement was incorrect; he said min-utes of past meetings showed that she voted regularly.
Campbell suggested the committee settle the issue with a vote. Its members, with several abstaining, decided that Campbell could no lon-ger vote.
Mozes then made the same motion — to not recon-
sider the marathon funding. That motion was approved.
According to Robert’s Rules of Order, Mozes should have phrased it as “a motion to reconsider.” In addition, only someone who is on the prevailing side of a vote may ask for reconsideration.
In the event of a tie, there is no prevailing side.
All the wrangling, however, was ultimately a moot point. It was clear at the meeting that Riker, who sat quietly at the table, wouldn’t receive funds for the marathon, at least not at this point.
Dudley said he was disap-pointed by the outcome.
The marathon is the city’s top event when it comes to fill-ing up hotels — which is the whole purpose of the lodging tax, he said.
“The marathon is going to be great no matter what,” Dudley said.
“The question is whether it could have been better with more support.”
