During an 88-day course with the National Outdoor Leadership School, 19-year-old Jack Bruemmer of Langley explored the Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, and Utah.
Bruemmer, a 2014 grad-uate of South Whidbey High School and current Western Washington University student, recent-ly completed a wilderness expedition with the out-door school that provided technical outdoor skills, and wilderness ethic and leadership skills.
Bruemmer and his course mates began their semester in the Rockies developing technical rock climbing skills by conquering obstacles like the Black Hills of South Dakota, Devil’s Tower in northeastern Wyoming, and Fremont Canyon in central Wyoming. While climbing, Bruemmer was taught lessons on how
to camp efficiently, apply leave-no-trace principles, risk assessment, and self-rescue.
Bruemmer and his class-mates traveled to Utah for the river portion of their semester. Using whitewa-ter kayaks and oar rafts on the Green River and whitewater canoes on the San Juan River, Bruemmer was able to paddle Class
III rapids, practice swift-water rescue skills, and hike to historic sites along the riverbank. Another phase of the course included canyoneering in the Cedar Mesa wilder-ness.
Bruemmer hiked 130 miles over a 26-day period, where he explored Anasazi ruins as well as make decisions indepen-
dent of his instructors. Temperatures dropped below 15 degrees at times. Bruemmer ended the semester with a 12-day winter camping section based deep in the Absaroka Mountain Range of Wyoming. The group traveled on telemark skis through almost five feet of fresh powder snow, which provided ample opportu-nities to learn avalanche and terrain management. At camp, students built intricate snow shelters, called quigloos, to help protect from the cold tem-peratures and high winds.
“I would say it definitely has changed my goals in life,” Bruemmer said. “Before, I thought I would take a job where I could make a lot of money. But when you live out of a backpack, you learn that you don’t really need much. It definitely rein-forced my love for the outdoors.”

The port and management group will honor its current contract through the end of the year. On Jan. 1, 2016 the port will assume all manage-ment control.
This comes after months of negotiations between both parties. A draft contract was being reviewed by lawyers and was expected to be ready in August.
The unexpected motion was brought forth by interim Commissioner John Carr toward the end of the meeting.
“I was brought in a couple of months ago to take a hard look at the leases and (the port’s) business,” Carr said.
The commissioner, who has a background in real estate, said the port has paid $2 million into the farm and continues to lose money each year in its overall budget.
“I think it’s time to try some-thing that is fiscally respon-sible for taxpayer money,” he said.
Carr made his motion, which was met with mostly outrage and some praise from the audience. Commissioner and board president Marshall Bronson seconded the motion.
“It is not unreasonable to assume the port can manage
the farm,” Bronson said. “We get income from the wharf and not from the farm.”
Commissioner Mike Diamanti was the lone vote against the motion.
“I’m absolutely flabber-gasted,” he said. “As a board we have agreed to the draft terms. I thought we were mov-ing along. This came out of left field. I unequivocally oppose this motion.”
Diamanti said it was a pre-emptive strike to take over the farm and not work collabora-tively with the community.
In response, Bronson said that under the proposal the port would be working with the community.
“These are your taxpayers in the audience,” one audience member shouted.
Another, “When do we get to vote you out?”
Both commissioners who voted in favor of the motion are not seeking reelection.
Carr, who was appointed to fill a vacated position, will be replaced by candidate John Mishasek come November. Bronson will be replaced by William Bell at the end of the year.
And while Diamanti was outnumbered on the decision, he’s not giving up on the issue.
“I’m going to soldier on,” Diamanti said. “This is far from a done deal.”
Bronson said the port will
need to hire employees, most likely a manager and events coordinator, when it takes over management of the farm. What the bigger picture will look like, he said, he doesn’t know.
“We’ll have to pencil it out,” he said. “There’s enough people with the interest and capacity. We want the farm to stay and be the center of com-munity activities.”
Bronson said he would be open to taking on existing employees, though he said they’d probably be paid less and it might not be all of them.
“I think we could do with less employees,” he said.
Julie Dougherty Winger, who works for the manage-ment group, questioned the decision.
“I fail to see how the trans-fer of management from the management group to the port does anything,” she said.
“We are a well-oiled machine.“I think we’ve been doing a
hell of a job and we were look-ing forward to the future.”
She also questioned the manner in which the decision was made.
“It seems to be a rushed decision,” Dougherty Winger said. “(Our partnership) involves some level of trust and it feels like that was crushed.”
Greenbank Farm Management Group Executive Director Judy Feldman said she wasn’t sur-prised by the decision, but by how it was made. She said she doesn’t think the commission-ers understand fully what it takes to run the farm.
What she found particu-larly discouraging about the meeting, she said, was that the commissioners waited until the end of the meeting to make the motion and the
public wasn’t able to ask ques-tions.
“The biggest disappoint-ment was the lack of respect to the people who took two hours out of their day,” Feldman said.
This is something farm vol-unteer David Stern reiterated as well.
“I think the community left feeling upset and that they don’t have a say,” said Stern, whose wife works for
the management group. “All the donations and goodwill is gone there now.”
For the time being, the management group will stay with the status quo.
“They effectively said they don’t want to talk to us any-more,” Feldman said. “We will continue to do our job, report in and if they have questions we will answer them.”

said she would work with all parties to negotiate a “win-win” solution.
Thomas Gill, a city councilman midway through his first term, allud-ed to the recent food truck flap in which the city approved an applica-tion and may have known the vehi-cle exceeded the length restriction outlined in city code. The council eventually amended the ordinance to remove the length restriction, among other changes, to allow food trucks to resume operations.
“We’re learning,” Gill said. “Nobody who is going to do this job is going to be perfect.”
Their prior experience was a run-ning point for the mayoral candi-dates. Callison several times worked into his responses that he had led a successful company, highlighting his ability to lead, identify efficiencies and work with a group of people with diverse and sometimes competing interests.
Emerson, who still runs her own medical care business she co-found-ed, touted her ability to oversee a large staff.
“I stand for courtesy, competence and common sense,” she said in her opening statement.
Gill said he is the lone candidate who knows the workings of city gov-ernment. Prior to being elected in an unopposed race to the city council in November 2013, Gill had served on
the Planning Advisory Board. “Though I am the youngest candi-
date, I am the one with the most city experience,” he said.
All three candidates said they wanted to see a diversification of the generations living in Langley and to utilize the expertise and knowledge of the older residents willing to lend a hand for the city.
“I want to see a balancing of the demographics,” Callison said in his closing statement.
“Everything we do needs to expand that village feeling,” he later added.
The hospital commissioners offered vastly different takes on lead-ership of Whidbey General Hospital. Joyce Amatuzzo of Oak Harbor asked the candidates what they’d do
about what she said were impend-ing cuts to the hospital’s Medicare reimbursement rates. Rita Drum said the hospital must be prepared for lower reimbursement. Georgia Gardner, the incumbent who was appointed in July 2012, said Whidbey General Hospital may not be affected because it is a critical access hospital, but a just-in-case budget was cre-ated with several possible factors included.
“We’ve got a three-year pro forma budget …,” Gardner replied, “with all these scenarios plugged into it.”
Robert Born of Greenbank said he thought the hospital was pro-tected as well because of its critical access designation.
In closing statements, Gardner said she was dedicated to the over-
sight of the hospital’s finances. As a certified public accountant, that’s where her expertise was best uti-lized. She cited the hospital’s switch to a different software without ask-ing for a tech levy as an example of strong stewardship of public funding.
Born, who has long dogged the hospital district for public records, said he was a problem identifier and solver by nature.
“I’m an advocate, I’m a lawyer, I’m a communicator,” he said.
Drum said her vast experience working in healthcare as a patholo-gists’ assistant would help her under-stand the inner workings of the hos-pital.
“A hospital needs someone who is able to communicate with the hospi-tal staff,” she said.

Ethics board members added
Sharon Betcher and Monica Guzman are Langley’s newest ethics board members.
Both women were appointed to the citizen board Monday by Mayor Fred McCarthy and con-firmed by the city council at its regular meeting July 6.
Their addition brings the board to four mem-bers, with two more sought, one as an alter-nate. McCarthy said both members were well qualified, highlight-ing Betcher’s academic achievements — a doc-torate, two master’s degrees and a bachelor’s degree.
“We feel very confi-dent she will represent a certain group of people in our community,” McCarthy said.
He also praised Guzman’s life of public service as a social worker and on the city’s Civil Service Commission.
“Those that know you know you to be a very good thinker and inte-gral to our community,” McCarthy said to Guzman.
Two more ethics board members are needed before the group is offi-cially formed. Five mem-bers are required for the voting board, plus one alternate. McCarthy has stated he intends to have gender equality among the members, with three men and three women. To date, two men and two women are appointed board members.
The final two appoint-ments must be Langley residents, per the ethics board bylaw that requires a majority of the mem-bers to be city residents.
Bob Frause and Fred Herzon were appointed to the ethics board earlier this year.
Star Store, city swap land
The Star Store and Langley have agreed to a small land swap on McLeod Alley.
Star Store owner Gene Felton had asked for the right of way vacation, the term for asking a public agency to give up part of a public space, at the council’s previous meet-ing in June. Felton has plans to renovate the alley-facing facade and entrance of the store, replace the stairs that lead up to Prima Bistro, and relocate the compressors behind a parapet wall above the entrance.
The city held a brief public hearing over the matter during Monday’s council meeting — no comments were given. Stan Berryman, director of Public Works, said the city is gaining 77 square feet in the swap, which essen-tially allows the Star Store to build on property it has already used for years.
“In order to get a build-ing permit, he’s gotta do it on his own property,” said Eric Richmond, owner of the design company Flat Rock Productions, who is handling the proj-ect for Felton.
Felton also said that part of the upgrade is a
freight elevator. “We think we can
accomplish that,” he said. Vehicles using the alley
should not notice much of a change to the driving path. Customers, however, will notice a change some time later this year.
Candidate to chat in 2nd St. plaza
Langley City Councilman and mayoral candidate Thomas Gill has announced he will be available for a meet-the-candidate session Monday, July 13 in the Second Street Plaza.
Gill announced his intent to meet with the public Thursday night, after a voter forum held by the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island.
In an email, Gill said it will be a casual event so voters can get to know him better.
Athletic director hired for SWHS
Paul Lagerstedt will take over as assistant principal and ath-letic director at South Whidbey High School.
After Kelly Kirk’s res-ignation this spring to become the athletic director of Vashon Island High School, the South Whidbey School District announced its search for an assistant princi-pal. Lagerstedt officially began his position July 1 at the start of the new school year.
His responsibilities include leading and supervising the extra-cur-ricular athletic programs, serving as the athletic director for the district, planning and organizing for the learning achieve-ment of a diverse student population; coordinat-ing and evaluating staff, programs and services within the school and leading and supervising the Associated Student Body.

The people in charge of put-ting on the Whidbey Island Fair are quite the pair.
Carol Coble, 59, and Kiley Grant, 29, could be mother and daughter. In some ways, they kind of are. Grant was good friends with Coble’s daughter and they have known each for the past 20-plus years. They can finish each other’s sentenc-es and are frank and honest with each other during their part-time duties as interim co-fair administrators.
Since late February, they have run the administrative office of the Island County Fair Association, the group tasked with putting on the four-day annual event. That means when someone calls asking about the dates for the fair, they’re the ones who answer. They went out and made sure vendors are signed up to sell
food, merchandise and ride tickets.
Coble and Grant are largely leading by following. Rather than offer top-down solutions, the two longtime fairgoers and presenters are seeking input from the building supervisors, fair association and others into shaping this year’s fair.
“There’s people who have a lot of experience,” said Coble, who spoke the most during a recent 90-minute visit to the fairgrounds. “We draw from
that.” “We really work for every-
one that comes in the door,” Coble later said. “We can’t act
like we’re the bosses of every-thing.”
Grant added, “That would be a lie.”
She says that, but her office is perfectly organized. Folders mark different vendors and presenters for the fair. Both Coble and Grant keep a folder marked “Carol’s 2016 ideas” or “Kiley’s 2016 ideas” with thoughts for next year’s fair, even though the 2015 fair has yet to begin.
“We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, but we are trying to innovate,” Coble said.
One of their hallmark ideas was seeking a corporate spon-sor for the fair’s main stage entertainment this year. They asked, and they received. Whidbey Telecom is sponsor-ing the headlining performer, country musician Chance McKinney.
“They’ve done a great job,” said Jason Kalk, fair associa-tion board president. “We had great success with the fund-raiser.”
The fair association held
a fundraiser recently and saw generous returns, all of which go toward putting on the Whidbey Island Fair —rebranded from it previous title of Whidbey Island Area Fair.
Coble and Grant’s profes-sional, work relationship goes back several years. Coble, who owns Carol’s Coffee Barn in Bayview, hired Grant to oper-ate her espresso stand years ago. When Grant moved on to a different job, it was bitter-sweet for Coble, she said. Now, they’re working together as colleagues, no longer employ-er-employee.
“They both have different talents,” Kalk said. “It ended up that they can complement each other well, between
Carol’s abilities to network and Kiley’s office (skill) set.”
Coming in with a service industry background, they appear well suited to handle all of the calls they receive. Their motto, they both said, is to make things easier for others.
“We say that a lot,” said Grant, amid checking email and paperwork from her desk. She apologized for working while being interviewed by The Record, but kept at it until being asked to leave the office for photographs.
“Now we’re in crunch time,” Coble said, letting a handful of phone calls ring their way to a voice message. “Yes, there’s some chaos, but I’m addicted to chaos.”

New Whidbey Island fair administrators are a potent tandem
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Carol Coble and Kiley Grant, the interim co-administrators of the Whidbey Island Fair, stop by the grandstand at the Island County Fairgrounds on Monday.
ResponseFireworks, dry weather don’t mixEditor,
This July 4 was marked by the most extreme fire danger in many years and still people chose to buy and explode personal fire-works because it is their “right.”
The rationale was that they would be careful and responsible, and thanks to most who were. The prob-lem is that fire is not care-ful and responsible, and in conditions like we are cur-rently experiencing, mere embers can explode into flames many hours after they land.
The home where our son took his first steps in the mountains east of San Diego is nothing but a con-crete pad to this day as the result of a tragic brushfire. People who have not actu-ally lost a home filled with memories may not fully comprehend the lasting magnitude of this experi-ence.
While other communi-ties simply banned fire-works, we here were left to our devices. Neighbors who chose not to shoot fireworks in the interest of fire safety were right next to neighbors who did in the interest of tradition and entertainment. Plus, people came over from locales that had banned fireworks to buy and shoot them here, adding to the potential burden of our own dedicated firefighters.
Maybe the organizations that sell fireworks could take more responsibil-ity for hosting safety meet-ings, or circulating safety information, particularly when public officials are
practically begging people not to use fireworks due to high fire danger.
Or maybe elected offi-cials could put public safety rather than politi-cal expedience first when potential fire conditions reach record breaking lev-els. At any rate, the issue demands real leadership from somebody, so no one here is ever left with the smoldering vestige of a home as the result of our celebration of indepen-dence.

ThanksFerry staff helped during pregnancyEditor,
Thank you to the staff of the Clinton/Mukilteo ferry route. A couple weeks ago, Whidbey General Hospital Emergency Medical Services was transporting a woman in labor with a high-risk pregnancy. The patient and her family were expected at Everett Providence Hospital at the Women and Children’s

The late-night crew of the ferry was contacted and was ready and wait-ing for the paramedics when they arrived at the dock. The mom was taken to Providence, where she delivered the baby within minutes of arrival.

ElectionsCallison listens well, is genuineEditor,
Citizens of Langley, as a longtime Langley resi-dent and working mom I am concerned about the direction of our city. I want our city government to address infrastructure and water rates. I want our city government to focus on the residents of Langley and not just the tourist. I
am concerned that the city strayed away from its origi-nal agreement with the fed-eral government to receive funding for Wharf Street and now intends to use the money for a funicular.
I have spent more time studying the candidates for this election than nearly any prior election. While listening to the candi-dates, one candidate has consistently addressed the concerns I have in a complete and thoughtful manner. When I met with Tim Callison it became clear to me that he was someone who would lis-ten to my concerns and work diligently to address those concerns. Tim has assured me that he shares the same concerns that I have and that he intends to work to resolve these issues.
I found him to be genu-ine and he took time out of his busy schedule to lay out a clear and concise plan for making Langley not only a great place to visit, but also a great place to live.
Respectfully,JENNIFER MARKS
Langley

Greenbank Farm deal smacks of disrespect
Editorial
So, they finally did it. After years and years of on-again, off-again relations, quiet
grumbling and likely more than a few private fantasies of more financially profitable partnerships, Port of Coupeville commissioners this week unexpectedly and pointedly cut ties with the Greenbank Farm Management Group. Despite being in ongoing negotiations for a new contract that would have started next year, and making a clearly unpopular decision before what was the largest crowd to attend a port meeting in recent memory, the board effectively said, “Nope, we’re done. Thanks, but adios.”
While the basis for the 2-1 vote is understandable — to some, the dividends of decades of investment amount to little more than crushed hopes for an economic engine that simply never was — this is indeed a sorry conclusion to a 20-plus year relationship. To say it was poorly executed is an understatement. Rather, it smacks of blunder: a rash deci-sion with no promise for success and an affront to the busi-nesses and people who have helped carry the farm through some tough years.
Commissioner Marshall Bronson and Commissioner John Carr, Bronson’s handpicked colleague who was appointed earlier this year without seeking resumes from the public, no doubt have thought about the relationship with the management group and the farm’s fate for some time. Their duty as port commissioners, a junior taxing dis-trict that exists largely to foster economic development, is to look at ways to best utilize the public’s dime. They are sup-posed to divorce sentiment from facts, but unfortunately the reality remains as cloudy as Carr’s appointment.
The management group’s contract is up at the end of the year, and the board’s plan for succession is a mystery. Five months is a tight timeline for coming up with a new plan or group. Of course there has been much discussion in recent weeks about some kind of relationship with Washington State University, but leaders at WSU and the port have been quick to soothe what’s amounted to community panic with promises of “Nothing has happened or decided, we’re just talking.”
Perhaps that remains true, but this week that seems highly suspect. Indeed, trust in port commissioners has reached a new low.
Furthermore, that the board would make such a surprise decision while the management group was operating on good faith that a new agreement was on the verge of being hammered out is beyond bad form — it’s just plain rude. That neither Bronson or Carr are running for reelection only adds insult to injury.
While it’s true the farm has been an expensive experi-ment for the port and never been the bosom of industry that some have hoped, this appears to be a rash decision that smacks of disrespect and behind the scenes maneuvering unbecoming of elected office.

The South Whidbey School District has hired Suzi Mach to be Langley Middle School’s next principal.
Mach, a 1989 graduate of Oak Harbor High School and current Langley resident, officially started July 1. She comes to the position with six years of administrative experi-ence in the Bremerton School District, most recently holding the position of vice principal of West Hills STEM Academy.
The academy is the first dedi-cated science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM) elementary school in Washington.
“She’s a great addition to our administrative staff and we’re excited to move for-ward,” Superintendent Jo Moccia said. “She’s got tre-mendous experience in math and science.”
Mach’s presence alone at the school has jumpstarted plans of redesigning and reno-vating the middle school.
An “internal facelift” as Mach called it will include two 40-to-50-inch Apple televisions
at the main entrance — one will display a slideshow of past graduating classes while the other will feature current news and messages — along with new carpets, flooring, doors and internal painting.
It hasn’t been solidified whether the framed pictures of the past graduating classes will be moved to another loca-tion, or if they’ll be kept hang-ing along the walls of the hall-way, but Mach says the goal is to dialogue with the com-munity and find a place where they can be displayed and eas-
ily viewable by the public.“We want to keep the his-
tory alive, but help the kids move forward and focus on the day in front of them,” Mach said. “I want a building that’s alive.”
Mach said some options include having the frames housed at the high school or at a local museum.
Mach said she also hopes to bring some of the strengths of STEM academies to South Whidbey. Particularly, instruc-tional methods that integrate technology and engineering
into science and mathematics instruction, she said.
“STEM brings a high rigor experience of learning through sciences, technology, engineering and mathemat-ics,” Mach said.
Mach holds a bachelor’s degree in social studies and special education from Pacific Lutheran University and a master’s degree in educa-tional administration from City University of Seattle.
Moccia said Mach has “absolutely the right experi-ence for our district.”
Marie Louise OverturfMay 21, 1927 – July 2, 2015
“What’s that!” were Mary Lou’s most used words.
In good health, her sharp mind could take in a lot. She advanced past two grades in school and received a full col-lege scholarship.
She chose to support her mother by becoming an ace typist at Seattle’s Port of Embarkation and waited for her soldier boyfriend to come back from WWII service.
Clarence “Clancy” Overturf and she were mar-ried February 5, 1947.
She realized her dream of opening a ballet school.
They raised three chil-dren: Janet, Scot and Christy in the home they built in Shoreline. Mary Lou guided them to share her love of learning by walking them to the bookmobile stop monthly — several books for each. She amassed a large personal library and loved it late into life.
Home improvement ideas, gardening facts and places to visit enthused her with the most action. For the woodsy Shoreline property, she demonstrated rhododendron expertise and made it beauti-ful.
Clancy’s employer offered a good buyout for early retirement, and they “played house” at a cottage above Saratoga Passage and got hooked on Whidbey Island. They had a house built on one-third acre of unobstruct-ed, high bank water view. Now in her 50s, she learned
gardening in the sun was a great new adventure! She beautified both properties, never stopping over tired-ness. It was said, “Mary Lou could make a stick grow!”
They turned the cottage into a bed and breakfast rental, and made even more friends with their cheery and sweet ways. Many were repeat customers, and wrote to them for years. Mary Lou decorated the houses for every Hallmark holiday, and was the queen of greeting cards. People felt thought of, and I’ve saved many of those cards with her long notes.
She was loving to each of her immediate and extended family members and babysat her grandsons; each later sought the quality of mar-riage “grandma and grandpa” had.
Painful osteoporosis slowed Mary Lou consider-ably, and about seven years ago she was limited by Alzheimer’s disease. Clancy
was her caregiver into his late 80s, and this year she moved to a pleasant memory care home. She died in hos-pice care just three months after Clancy died.
Their spirits are released and they are loved for-ever by their children: Janet Wartinger, Scot Overturf and Christy Hagglund; grand-children, Donna Granados, Ben Hagglund, Tim Hagglund, Jeff Hagglund and Andrea Overturf; great-grandchildren, Jonathan Hagglund, Abby Hagglund, Matthew Hagglund, Andrew Hagglund, Lucas Hagglund; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

South Whidbey RecordThey may not play run-
ning back for the Seattle Seahawks, but in each of Central Whidbey Little League’s 9/10 All-Star players is a bit of Marshawn Lynch.
The part of him which really, really enjoys Skittles, that is.
“Someone will say at prac-tice, ‘What do I need to do to get a bag of Skittles?’ ” said coach Mimi Johnson. “One of the coaches will say, ‘Pitch six strikes in a row.’ ”
With incentives like that, it’s not hard to see why Central Whidbey won the District 11 tournament and
earned its second consecu-tive trip to the state playoffs.
“We came up with these games where they’re learn-
ing, but with less pressure,” Johnson said. “Truthfully, if they’re not having fun, then why play?”
Central Whidbey will open the double-elimination tour-nament against Marysville at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11 at Vancouver’s Glenwood Little League fields.
Central Whidbey will cer-tainly have a steep task at state. Central Whidbey touts a small roster — 11 girls — and most of the teams they’ll face will have two to three times that number. Central Whidbey also has a small drawing pool for talent, which includes just South Whidbey and Coupeville, while the competition has five to six
schools to choose from as well as year-round facilities.
“They really get the oppor-tunity to select their girls,” Johnson said. “Our girls, it doesn’t matter. That’s going to be our biggest struggle: they have bigger pools.”
But there are benefits to having a smaller t e a m . Particularly, it’s far easier to bond and play effec-tively.
“ W e ’ r e really good friends as a team,” said out-fielder Madison Knauer. “Together, we communicate really well.”
Knauer and the team’s pri-mary pitcher, Chanel Sterba, are eager for the opportunity to play at state.
“I’m looking forward to
striking out people,” Sterba said. “I want to win the game and move on.”
The biggest challenge for Central Whidbey, as it was last season, will be the oppos-ing pitching. Johnson said the team was caught off-guard
when they saw pitch-ers with an arsenal of up to four d i f f e r e n t kinds of pitches at their dis-posal. It was also a wake-up call that
the team needed to develop their own hurlers.
“My biggest takeaway was that we needed to develop pitchers,” Johnson said. “We really had one pitcher going into state last year. This year, I have four.”
The pitchers include
Sterba, McKaela Meffert, Abby Mulholland, and Isabelle Wells.
As the team’s primary pitcher, Sterba will be relied upon heavily. It’s a good thing, then, that Sterba has been working on her craft all season.
“She’s going to do great. She has really developed as a pitcher,” Johnson said. “She’s like a sponge. She’s constant-ly saying, ‘What do I need to do to get better?’ ”
Using fun exercises like giving out candy at practice or setting up slip’n’slides on their days off has kept the atmosphere playful while also dispersing the level of tension that comes from playing com-petitive sports.
“They know when I expect them to buckle down and be serious,” Johnson said. “At the same time, it’s not unlike one of us to throw something fun in there.”

area resident specialized in emergency management and played leadership roles in major Whidbey crises such as the sinking of the Deep Sea in Penn Cove, was a volunteer at a half a dozen groups and organiza-tions, and was widely rec-ognized for having a kind and giving spirit.
She was 51.“She really, really, really
gave of herself,” said Bret Stillwell, Stillwell’s husband of 10 years.
The couple were active with the Northwest Civil War Council, a non-profit group that organizes Civil War battle reenactments. Stillwell was a corporal in the association’s U.S. 4th Calvary.
The accident occurred Saturday, July 4 at about 3 p.m. Temperatures were reportedly high and Stillwell and other troop-ers had retreated to a
shady area under fir trees when a noise spooked her horse, Maxx. A tree branch knocked her off the animal and she fell to the ground.
Bret Stillwell said she suffered a number of inter-nal injures, including bro-ken ribs and a laceration to her liver. Though in pain, she was alert and trans-ported to Salem Hospital. She was admitted to an intensive care unit, but her condition worsened the next day.
“Her blood pressure
started dropping and that’s when the world changed,” Bret Stillwell said.
Doctors attempted to save her but she died during surgery. Stillwell leaves behind four children: her two bio-logical boys, Tony and Charlie Baltazar; and Sam and Savannah Stillwell, Bret Stillwell’s children.
Many on South Whidbey were shocked and sad-dened to learn of her death. Eric Brooks, direc-tor of Island County’s department of emergency management, said Stillwell was a great volunteer for the organization. She served as the logistics section chief for Unified Command — a group com-posed of the U.S. Coast Guard, state Department of Ecology and Island County — during the Deep Sea disaster in 2010, was the coordinator for the Island County Community Emergency Response Team, helped the depart-ment with public speaking and education by giving talks on emergency pre-paredness, she even helped around the office with filing and administrative work.
“She did a little bit of everything,” said Eric Brooks, director of Island County’s department of emergency management.
“She’s going to be missed.”
Stillwell was also the South Whidbey team lead-er for the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross for several years. She passed the position to Nancy Waddell, a Clinton resident.
“She taught me on-the-job at the first fire I responded to as a volun-teer,” Waddell said. “She was an energetic and cre-ative leader who got things done and had fun doing it.”
Stillwell was a lover of animals as well. She was a volunteer at the Island County Fair, spending time in the poultry barn, Bret Stillwell said. She occasion-ally mixed her passion for emergency management with things cute and cud-dly. During the Oso disas-ter, she took time off her day job to provide victims and first responders with counseling and grief man-agement.
“She got baby ducks and brought them out for people to hold for comfort — that’s just who she was,”
he said.Stillwell spent muchS of
her free time at Joli Farms in Freeland. Her horse was
stabled there, and she just enjoyed being around the animals, said Leah Eddington,
general manager of Joli Farms.
She said Stillwell had a big heart, and will never forget the time she rescued a chicken from a water trough at the farm; she took it home, warmed it up and made a new best friend.
“That chicken loved her,” Eddington said. “It followed her around every-where.”
She left that impression with people too.
“She was just amazing, one of those one in a mil-lion people,” Eddington said. “She had a smile that would just light her face up.”
Stillwell grew up in the Seattle area and was a Ballard High School gradu-ate. She held degrees from Northwestern College (formerly Northwestern Business College) and the American Public University System, and spent years working for Boeing and Microsoft before transition-ing to a career in emer-gency management.
Bret Stillwell said his wife “played hard and lived hard” — she gave up her Harley Davidson motorcycle for her horse, and was no stranger to an emergency room.
“We spent a lot of quality time there,” he joked.
Family members are all processing her sudden death differently, but Bret Stillwell said he is comfort-ed knowing his wife died doing two things she loved: participating in a Civil War reenactment and riding her horse.
“She was just absolutely in love with what she was doing,” he said.
He added that the out-pouring of community sup-port has been a great com-fort as well, and thanked people for their thoughts and kind words.
An off-island memorial service will be held for Stillwell at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 19 at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. It’s open to the public.
