NEWS BRIEFSOld stadium

still in useWhile work is finished

on the Oak Harbor School

District’s shiny new Wildcat

Memorial Stadium, the old War

Memorial Stadium will continue

to be used by both the schools

and the community.

To help the district keep the

old stadium maintained, the

city of Oak Harbor and Island

County agreed to each pay

$3,000 a year toward that cost

as part of an interlocal agree-

ment. In addition, the city will

continue to provide portable

toilets at the site.

“We have had several of the

youth athletic leagues approach

us and express their interest to

use the old Memorial Stadium,”

city Public Works Superin-

tendent Cathy Rosen told the

city council Tuesday night. The

council unanimously approved

the agreement.

Under the agreement, the

school district will schedule

use of the field and district

events will have priority over

league activities and community

events. Rosen said she doesn’t

anticipate any scheduling

hassles.

Harley’s roar

not from police

Oak Harbor cops will give up

their Harleys for foreign-made

motorcycles.

Last Tuesday, the Oak Har-

bor City Council approved the

purchase of two Honda mo-

torcycles, with the necessary

extra lighting and equipment,

for a total of $38,000.

Public Works Superintendent

Cathy Rosen said in previous

years the police leased two

Harley Davidson Road Kings

from Skagit Harley Davidson

for $1,300 a year, plus a one-

time cost of nearly $7,000 to

purchase and install boxes for

police equipment.

The problem, Rosen said, is

that the city had to turn in the

model each year and transfer

the gear, at an additional annual

cost of $3,000 per motorcycle.

Design standards

ready for public

Proposed design standards in

Coupeville are now ready for

public review.

The current design standards

were adopted in 1995 and

apply only to the historic part

of Coupeville. The proposed

standards would apply design

guidelines to each neighbor-

hood in town.

The Design Review Board

will have an informal look at the

new standards during its Sept.

18 meeting. The plans also have

to go before the planning com-

mission and the Town Council.

Mayor Nancy Conard said

there isn’t a deadline for when

the new standards will be ap-

proved. She wants to make

sure there’s enough chances for

the community to comment on

the proposed changes.

“We want to take plenty of

time for community input,” Co-

nard said.

The proposed guidelines are

available at Town Hall or at

www.town.coupeville.wa.us.

Inch for inch, the stretch of

Highway 20 in Oak Harbor be-

tween Beeksma Drive and Swan-

town Avenue is one of the most

accident-prone segments of road

on Whidbey Island.

Anyone who’s driven the sec-

tion at about 5 p.m. also knows it’s

the most congested.

Officials from the city and state

— the latter of which is ultimate-

ly responsible for the highway

— have been discussing the prob-

lem for at least a decade, but still a

fix remains elusive.

While everyone seems to

agree that highway widening is

in order, the task is complicated

by funding problems, the state’s

prioritization method for road

construction, a state law that only

applies to islands with highways,

and of course, politics.

Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen,

D-Camano, doesn’t have a lot of

sympathy for city officials who

complain that the state needs to

fix the highway. She said the city

brought about the problem by

allowing so much development,

particularly the Wal-Mart, in the

immediate area.

“It’s just an awful mess. Those

of us who were watching knew

Accidents like this four-car fender bender on Highway 20 this

summer adds to the gridlock on the Beeksma-to-Swantown sec-

tion. Safety first

State highway officials say

safety, not traffic congestion,

is the number one priority in

setting roadwork priorities.

The sound of a Prowler flyover

wasn’t the only rumble heard Fri-

day night. The other rumble was

the sound of thousands of crazed

Oak Harbor Wildcat fans stomp-

ing on the brand new aluminum

bleachers cheering on the foot-

ball team as they pummeled the

Arlington Eagles 35-0.

Friday night marked the first

of what will be many home team

victories in the long life of Wild-

cat Memorial Stadium at Oak

Harbor High School.

Some families brought several

generations, all of whom graduat-

ed from Oak Harbor, to enjoy the

first game at the new stadium.

Bernie Lange, who graduated

from Oak Harbor High School

in 1945, was accompanied by his

children, one coming from as

far away as Alaska, and grand-

children to Friday night’s game.

The facilities have come a long

way since he played for Oak Har-

bor. Back then the games were

played on a grass field without

any stands.

Now he enjoys watching the

games at a facility that is tops in

the league.

“We went from the worst field

in the league to the best,” Lange

said. He enjoys having the away

team’s stands on the opposite

side of the field from the home

team’s stands. Other stadiums in

the district, such as Snohomish

and Cascade, have all the specta-

tors on one side of the field, and

that lessens the experience by

co-mingling the fans, he said.

Oak Harbor football is a big

part of the Lange family. Bernie

and his brother played for the

Wildcats. In addition, his three

sons and five nephews have all

played football.

There were smiles all around

for people seeing the stadium

that opened publicly for the first

time. After all, it was a commu-

nity-approved $6.5 million bond

that paid for the lion’s share of

the new stadium.

“This stadium is bigger than

any one of us,” Rotary member

Jim Slowik said during the rib-

bon cutting ceremony to formally

open the facility. “Everybody has

an equal share of this stadium.”

He highlighted all of the peo-

ple who helped raise money for

the stadium. Everybody from

little leaguers to local business

owners contributed to the sta-

dium fund-raising effort. In all,

the Noon Rotary raised $343,000

to help offset construction costs

for the stadium.

“Everybody contributed,”

Slowik said, raising his voice as

After years of deterioration, a

tide gate outfall on West Beach

Road near Swan Lake is scheduled

to receive a facelift, effectively fix-

ing damage inflicted by years of

wear and tear.

The maintenance project, which

could generate some controversy

given its proximity to the lake,

is completely necessary, said As-

sistant County Engineer Randy

Brackett. A crew will slipline an exist-

ing pipe that is falling apart. The

problem is well documented, the

engineer added.

“There’s gaping holes and it fills

up with sand so it can’t discharge

water from Swantown Lake,”

Brackett said. “The lake starts to

raise up and level and it gets to be

a mess.”The primary concern is that

raised levels of marine water poses

a threat to the properties neigh-

boring the lake with the saltwater

intrusion, he added.

Inserting a smaller diameter,

smoother pipe will allow the drain-

age system to work as it was origi-

nally designed.

“It’s purely maintenance work,”

Brackett said. “The Department of

Fish and Wildlife and other regula-

tory agencies have signed off on

the project.”

Brackett said the storm drains

will be cleaned up as part of the

project. If all goes according to

plan, the work should be complet-

ed by the end of October.

According to Angie Homola, a

resident who lives in the vicinity

of the project and a member of the

Swan Lake Watershed Preserva-

tion Group, the work has already

begun. And without a required hy-

draulic permit application.

Homola said she was told by a

Fish and Wildlife employee that no

permit had been issued. A neigh-

bor of Homola’s, however, investi-

gated the site and found that work

had been done on the tide gate.

“The county is lying if they say

they’ve done nothing,” she said,

adding that repeated requests to be

kept apprised of progress and to be

sent work orders had been ignored.

“I’ve heard nothing from them.”

Brackett said Tuesday work has

not begun on the project and Pub-

lic Works is in the process of secur-

ing a hydraulic permit.

“Some residents may have seen

some work being done in the vicin-

ity of that culvert, but all that was

was cleaning the grate in front of

the culvert,” Brackett said.
