‘there is a significant amount of environmental resources at risk’

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

No matter the cost, the 128-foot crab boat that caught fire and then sank in Penn Cove this weekend will be raised and removed, according to officials with the state Department of Natural Resources.

Toni Droscher, spokes-woman for the agency, con-firmed that the huge steel fishing vessel is not too big to pluck from the bottom, but it will be expensive and it’s a cost that will initially be borne by taxpayers.

“We will get that boat out of there,” Droscher said. “We have to protect the resource.”

The Deep Sea, which has been illegally anchored in Penn Cove for months,

caught fire late Saturday evening. The blaze raged unchecked for about two hours before fireboats from Camano Island Fire and Rescue and the U.S. Coast Guard arrived and began hit-ting the vessel with water.

Flames on deck had largely been extinguished by 2:30 a.m. Sunday but fires continued to burn below. Firefighting efforts had to be temporarily suspended due to fear of the boat sinking but resumed again at daylight.

At about 6 p.m., about 19 hours after it first caught fire, the vessel finally succumbed and sank in about 60 feet of water just outside Penn Cove Shellfish’s mussel rafts.

The city of Des Moines may steal away Oak Harbor’s favorite police officer.

Lt. John Dyer, the head of the Oak Harbor Police

Department’s patrol division, was named this week as one of the top five finalists for police chief of Des Moines.

Dyer, a former school board member, is well known in the community after 28 years with

the department. He’s perenni-ally chosen as the “best police officer” in the News-Times’ Best of Whidbey survey and is involved in the city’s youth commission, along with other community groups.

Dyer also applied to be the new police chief for Oak Harbor to replace retir-ing Chief Rick Wallace. The application deadline was last Friday.

“My professional goal is

to have the opportunity to serve a community as chief of police,” he said. “I am very excited about the opportu-nity that I have here in Oak Harbor, as this is where my heart is, and I will be working toward that. While the timing of Des Moines is not the best, I feel I should be exploring all opportunities presented to me professionally.”

Dyer completed an 11-week course at the FBI National Academy Program at Quantico last year, which may improve his chances of landing a chief position.

Dyer is facing stiff competi-tion in Des Moines. The other finalists are George Delgado, a police commander from Vancouver, Wash.; Charlie Dennis, a former chief of police in Page, Ariz.; Stephen MacKinnon, chief of police in Santa Paula, Calif.; and Christopher Shawkey, former chief of police in Costa Mesa, Calif.

Dyer and his fellow finalists will go through four separate interviews in Des Moines next Monday. The marathon session ends with a nighttime recep-tion at which members of the public can meet and quiz the candidates.

“This also gives me a good opportunity to see what issues other agencies are going through and how they are dealing with them,” Dyer said.

The Oak Harbor School Board unanimously approved asking voters to support a levy to collect $7.35 million at a meeting Monday evening. This proposal will be pre-sented to voters in February 2013.

As the board members sup-ported the larger of two levy rates they discussed at the meeting, the audience gave them a standing ovation.

Superintendent Rick Schulte estimated the rate at $1.98 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, but since he’s working with estimates, the rate could be as low as $1.80 or higher than $2 as assessed valuation changes over time.

The current levy rate is 92 cents. At the April 30 meeting, the board consid-ered proposing a levy rate of $1.83 but decided to raise it Monday to further support special education.

“I think that’s what citizens and taxpayers want. They don’t want the cheapest, they want value for their dollar,” Schulte said. “I’m as worried about passing too small of a levy as not passing too large

of a levy.”One of the easiest issues

to cut from the levy proposal was all-day, everyday kin-dergarten because Schulte emphasized that this is a needs-based levy, meaning it wouldn’t be right to add an entirely new program to the school district.

Instead, the levy focuses on restoring some of the cuts due to recent state and fed-eral funding cuts.

The school board chose to increase the levy by $500,000, approximately 15 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, from the draft levy proposal they discussed at the April 30 meeting to better fund spe-cial education.

“We have the broadest spectrum of needs among our students that any district could have,” Schulte said of students in special education programs.

At community forums held to discuss the levy over the past few months, staff and parents asking for special education funding outnum-bered those speaking on any other issue.

If passed, the levy funding will add back the 30 minutes

cut from middle school days, restore 10 teaching positions and restore three instruction-al assistants. Some of those positions can be used for spe-cial education and libraries.

The levy would add a licensed practical nurse posi-tion. While the three school nurses asked for another reg-istered nurse, which would be more expensive, Corey Johnson, board president,

called this a “reasonable com-promise.”

The levy would restore the activity bus and after-school tutoring, as well as protect sports and other after-school activities.

“We’re getting to the point where we’re going to have to cut individual sports,” Schulte said, naming golf and swimming, among others, if a levy isn’t passed.

The levy would restore nine maintenance, grounds, custodial and clerical staff positions, as well as fund regular supplies, equipment and maintenance. It would also help alleviate the need for new textbooks and tech-nology.

Never before has Schulte seen such an outpouring of

parents and staff at the recent levy forums, or seen such support from staff. They were arguing for their stu-dents and classrooms, not for their pocketbooks, Schulte said.

While he said he has no idea if the levy will pass, “By all means, this should pass,” Schulte said, because the dis-trict is asking for less than their full need and he’s heard from the community that they want to give the district what they need.

Peter Hunt, school board member, said he’s optimistic about asking for this amount.

“The community is telling us to go for it,” said Christine Cribb, school board member, based on speaking to approx-imately 50 people about the levy throughout the week.

Johnson considered ask-ing for more funding to sup-port librarians.

“I think that’s one group we don’t want to have demor-alized, we want to adequately take care of,” Johnson said.

However, Schulte said the list of needs could go on for-ever and some areas have more need than librarians.

“I think it’s going to be cut-

ting up the pie differently rath-er than a bigger pie,” Schulte said, adding that instructional assistant positions restored by the levy could be used to support librarians.

After relieved smiles and applause following the board’s decision, Johnson said that when the process began six to eight months ago, he never would have thought they’d be discussing this amount. Now, he said he’s ready to eat, sleep and breathe this amount until it passes.

Erica Wasinger and Lynn Goebel stepped to the podi-um to announce their posi-tions as volunteer co-chairs of the levy campaign.

“Now it is time for the fun, excitement and hard work of a campaign to begin,” Wasinger said, noting how important it is for all Oak Harbor students to have the opportunity, tools and guid-ance to join the photos of the proud graduates of Oak Harbor High School in the school’s hallway, where she’d like to see her own children someday.

“It is going to be a great time!” Goebel added.

School board picks higher levy rate to restore cuts

Rebecca olson/Whidbey News-Times

Superintendent Rick Schulte explains the decisions behind the needs-based levy he pro-posed to the Oak Harbor School Board at a meeting Monday evening.

‘i think that’s what citizens and taxpayers want. They don’t want the cheapest, they want value for their dollar.’

-- Rick Schulte, superintendent

She also pointed out that the water right isn’t “perfect-ed” for five years. The actual amount of water used to irrigate will be recorded and the final permit will be based on the average amount used, which she said will likely be less than the 39 million gal-lons per year.

Still, Homola said com-munity concerns could have been dealt with earlier if the entities involved had done a better job of notifying the neighbors and reaching out to the county.

“The public notifica-tion requirements are inadequate,” Homola said, referring to the statues. “I will continue to advocate for effective public notice.”

Keith Higman, director of county Public Health, emphasized that the state has a process in place to objectively and scientifically evaluate the availability of water using a conservative standard. He said he doubts the outcome would have been any different if the neighbors had been aware.

“It’s not a vote of whether you want it or don’t want it,” he said. “It’s a scientific evaluation, not a popularity contest.”

Higman said the state has a “first in line, first to right” water rights law, which means the rights of people with existing wells are pro-tected from new uses. If the golf course pumping impairs the neighbors, he said, the

Navy’s water right would have to change.

The Navy obtained the right to pump groundwater for irrigation as a cost-saving measure, according to base spokeswoman Kim Martin. The golf course was previ-ously irrigated with water that’s piped to Whidbey from the city of Anacortes’ water treatment plant on the Skagit River in Mount Vernon, which is also the source of drinking water for Oak Harbor and the Navy base.

The water right allows pumping for irrigation from April 15 to Oct. 15 each year. The permit is for 39 million gallons a year with a maximum instantaneous rate of 150 gallons a minute. The golf course is 200 acres total, but less than 85 acres require irrigation.

The golf course used 9 million gallons of water in 2011 and 8.5 million gallons in 2010 to irrigate tee boxes, fairways and greens. The amount used to be larger, but was reduced with the installation of a state-of-the-art irrigation system, accord-ing to Martin.

The Navy hired a Seattle hydrogeology firm to do pump tests and create a model of the groundwa-ter in the area. Ironically, the hydrogeologist who performed the study was Doug Kelly, who recently returned to work as the staff hydrogeologist for the Island County health department. The Navy also hired second consulting firm to review Kelly’s study.

Wood said the study showed that the water for the

golf course was available and wouldn’t impair any existing water rights. In addition, he said, the approval of the water right would not prove detri-mental to the public interest.

“That’s not to say there will not be any impact. You can’t pump water out of the ground without an impact,” he said.

One of the issues Kelly looked at in his study is a Superfund site north of the golf course on the Navy’s Ault Field base and whether the pumping of water would draw the contaminated plume. The contamination is at the site of a former landfill. The Environmental Protection Agency lists the

site as active; the ground-water in the area is contami-nated with volatile organic chemicals, according to the agency’s website.

Wood said the modeling showed that there’s a geo-logical fault between the golf course and the Ault Field base that would prevent the flow of contaminated water.

At the request of citizens, the county’s Water Resources Advisory Committee will discuss the issue at its meeting at 3 p.m., Thursday, June 7 at the Oak Harbor Public Works Facility. Officials from the Navy and neighbors of the golf course have said they will attend.

The first day of the offi-cial filing week for elected offices in Island County and the state yielded few surprises.

As of Tuesday morning, just three people were list-ed as commissioner candi-dates on the Island County Auditor’s website. They are Republican Jim Campbell and independent candidate Phil Collier for District 2 and Jeff Lauderdale for District 1.

All three had already announced their inten-tion to seek the positions, both of which are partisan seats that carry a four-year term.

The positions are cur-rently held by Democrat incumbents Angie Homola, District 1, and Helen Price Johnson, District 2. Both candidates have announced that they also intend to seek reelection.

For the two Island County Superior Court judge seats up for grabs, both non-partisan posi-tions, only incumbents Alan Hancock and Vickie Churchill were listed on the auditor’s website as having filed.

In the races for state representative, incumbent Norma Smith, R-Clinton, had filed for Position 1 and Tom Riggs, D-Camano, and Dave Hayes, R-Stanwood, had filed for Position 2.

Both seats carry a two-year term. Position 2 is currently held by Barbara

Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, but she has announced plans to challenge Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano, for the District 10 Senate posi-tion, which carries a four-year term.

For federal races, it appears Second Congressional District incumbent Rick Larsen, a Democrat, will see two challengers. Everett resi-dents Dan Matthews, a Republican, and Mike Lapointe, of the 99 Percent Party, have both filed.

Larsen is expected to seek reelection for the posi-tion, which is partisan and carries a two-year term.

A number of precinct committee officers on Whidbey Island are up for election but only three were contested. In Oak Harbor, James Golder, Donovan Davis and Susan Sehlin were all seeking the Precinct 150 Republican seat.

Laura Rookstool of Bayview and Chris Williams of Langley are vying for the Precinct 164 Republican seat while Mary Jane Aurdal-Olson and Bill Carruthers, both of Clinton, are seeking the Republican seat for Precinct 169.

Filing can be done in person at the Elections Office in Coupeville or done online. The filing peri-od began Monday and will continue through Friday, May 18.

Early filing is as expected

Two boats to Coupeville

For the first time in nearly five years, the Port Townsend-to-Coupeville ferry route will enjoy two-vessel service for the entire tourist season.

Two ferries, the Salish and the Kennewick, started sailing to and from Keystone Harbor May 13, and will con-tinue until early October. The additional ferry means anoth-er five round trips daily.

The route that crosses Admiralty Inlet endured lim-ited service for years after the Steel Electric ferries were pulled from service in November 2007.

The route enjoyed two-boat service for part of the sum-mer in 2011. Construction of new ferries has made it pos-sibly to fully restore service this tourist season.

Navy seeks comments

The Navy is preparing an updated Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and would like the public to comment.

The INRMP is a broad-scoped strategic management plan that sets goals and objec-tives for managing natural resources on NAS Whidbey. A news release states the current plan was signed and approved in 1996 and must be updated to comply with

Department of Defense and Navy policies. It must also be consistent with current natu-ral resource and military train-ing uses of the installation.

The Navy would like to con-sider the public’s comments and concerns as it prepares and finalizes the INRMP. A copy of the draft can be reviewed at the NAS Whidbey website at www.cnic.navy.mil/whidbey. Click on “Operations and Management,” then scroll down to “Environmental Support.”

Comments should be sub-mitted by June 9 and can be sent to: NAS Whidbey Island, Public Works Department, Natural Resources Management Program, 1115 W. Lexington St., Building 103, Oak Harbor, WA 98278-3500. Questions can be direct-ed to John Phillips, Natural Resources program manager, at 257-8873.

Port discusses Greenbank Farm

The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville will meet this week to discuss several issues pertaining to the Greenbank Farm.

The meeting will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday, May 17, in the Coupeville Library located on Alexander Street.

Commissioners plan to discuss the conservation easement for the Greenbank Farm. That document would add another layer of protec-tion for the publicly owned farm and is also a requirement for Conservation Futures dol-lars the county commission-ers approved in 2011. Since that approval, negotiations between the county and the port have stalled.

Bob Pederson, director of planning and commu-

nity development for Island County, along with Greenbank Farm Management Group President Michael Stansbury, will attend the meeting.

The commissioners will also talk about the current zoning of the farm and the future of the management group, which the port pays to operate the farm.

Pair dispute broken arm

A 37-year-old Freeland woman was arrested for alleg-

edly breaking her boyfriend’s arm in a jealous range, court documents allege.

Prosecutors charged Rachael Dandridge in Island County Superior Court May 2 with second-degree assault, a domestic violence charge.

Dandridge was accused of attacking her boyfriend in a Freeland home they share. The man claimed that he was watching a movie when she came home and started accusing him of cheating on her.

Dandridge hit the man in the face, kicked him and pushed

him into a wall, according to a report by a deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The man’s arm was broken in the attack.

Dandridge, on the other hand, claimed that her boy-friend attacked her and she fended him off, forcing him outside. She said he may have broken his arm while bang-ing on the door, the report states.

If convicted of the charge, Dandridge could face from three to nine months in jail under the standard sentenc-ing range.

Letters to the editorJoyful�news� on�the�Navy�

I was joyful to hear from Congressman Larsen at the May 1 Navy League NAS Whidbey Island lun-cheon that, “The role (that Whidbey’s electronic attack squadrons) play in current and future conflicts in fact only solidifies the impor-tance of Whidbey Naval Air Station in my mind, the men and women who are sta-tioned here, the people who support the base being here. My assessment is that we can plan on the base being here for a long, long time,” a comment which was met with spontaneous applause.

Of course it was! We at the Navy League love the growl-ing sound of freedom from two General Electric F414-GE-400 turbofans, not to mention the sight of Orions, Knighthawks and Prowlers overhead!

I’ve also been reading Bill Burnett’s well-researched IslandPolitics.org on, among other things, the risks to NAS Whidbey Island. As a Skagitonian I sincerely do not want to tell anoth-er county how to conduct its land use policies but I sure wish we had accident potential zones to protect volcanic floodplain farmland from development and help recruit more naval aviation action. I hope Islanders value APZs as much as I covet APZs for Skagitonians.

Let me conclude with this thought: Many disabled Americans like I wish they could be athletes, I would rather be part of the US Navy. For those of you who agi-tate to close NAS Whidbey Island; just remember that peace comes at the cost of the bravery and integrity of better men and women.

I lived on Whidbey for ten years and would just like to share this great energy pro-gram that I used with your readers. It is an awesome opportunity to help save the environment and it cost nothing for most people that own manufactured homes.

In June of 2011 I had a home energy efficiency inspection done on my manufactured home. It was a free service for owners of mobile/manufactured homes as part of the gov-ernment’s stimulus plan and Puget Sound Energy so I figured, “what the heck.” It took about two hours for the technician to replace the insulation under my home and to seal any cracks that he found in my heating ducts. When he was done I asked how much it would have cost if I had this done

on my own and he respond-ed, “around $500.”

I have since received my first couple of winter heat-ing bills and my December heating bill alone was 30 percent less then it was in 2010 and that’s on top of the fact that the average tem-perature was 13 degrees colder in December 2011 then 2010.

I would certainly recom-mend that anybody who owns a mobile/manufac-tured and has an electric home heating system do the same. That was the best $500 I never spent.

If you’re interested, and again I strongly suggest that you should be, the company that is now doing this work is U-Cons LLC and can be reached at 1-800-828-8440. And best of all, it’s still a free service for mobile/manu-factured home owners.

Normally during a local election year we urge more peo-ple to file for office in Island County. This year is different. File if you want, but we already have plenty of candidates.

Two of the three county commissioners, both Democrats, are up for election for a second term. Helen Price Johnson from District 1 and Angie Homola in District 3 took over what had long been Republican-held seats. The election was in 2008, on the cusp of the Great Recession, and voters were in the mood for change. Now, challengers are hoping voters are in the mood for another change.

Even before this week’s filing period began, Price Johnson knew she would be facing Republican Jeff Lauderdale, Republican Wayne Morrison and independent candidate Curt Gordon.

Homola knew she would have to take on Republican Jill Johnson, Republican Jim Campbell and independent candi-date Phil Collier.

Unlike in the past, incumbents cannot rest easy during the primary election watching members of the other party knock each other off. The state’s new top two primary disregards party labels. The top two vote-getters in this year’s Aug. 7 primary will advance to the November elec-tion, regardless of party. It’s conceivable that the incumbent Democrats could be eliminated in August even though they have no Democratic primary opponents.

That is part of the reason this year’s campaigns started so early. Price Johnson, for example, filed with the Public Disclosure Commission last fall so she could start raising money, giving her a war chest of more than $50,000 before the filing period starts. Lauderdale announced very early and was campaigning at the 2011 Island County Fair. He’s raised nearly $20,000.

The fact is, the top two primary has totally rearranged the political process, making candidates start running earlier and making those wearing the crown rest uneasily. Surviving the primary is as challenging as winning the gen-eral election.

On the state level, veteran 10th District Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano Island, is facing a stiff chal-lenge from 10th District Rep. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor. Bailey, the darling of conservatives, may benefit from redistricting and the continuing anti-incumbent fever. Both House positions will also see competition.

The filing period for office ends Friday. Visit the Island County Auditor’s website for details. We may have sufficient candidates already, but as the saying goes in politics, the more the merrier.

The clean upPetty Officer Nathan

Bradshaw, a spokesman for the Coast Guard, said efforts began in earnest Monday to mitigate environmental impacts as a sheen had devel-oped on the surface of the water.

A team of divers from Ballard Diving & Salvage was hired to plug vents and seal the ship’s fuel tanks. Bradshaw said Tuesday morning that divers worked to “sting” or syphon fuel from the tanks.

About 1,500 gallons was recovered during the first day but he confirmed that divers had been unable to patch one of the holes. The dive company was working to fabricate a plug that would work, he said.

“Right now oil is continu-ing to leak,” Bradshaw said.

National Response Corporation, a firm that specializes in maritime envi-ronmental clean up services was also hired. It deployed about 4,400 feet of floating oil boom and put two Marcos Skimmers, boats designed to scoop up or skim fuel on the surface, into service, Bradshaw said.

State Department of Ecology officials were also on the scene Sunday and Monday. Spokesman Larry Altose said a team conducted an environmental assess-ment, taking water samples and inspecting the shoreline.

Penn Cove has a healthy population of mussels and clams, is home to beds of eel grass essential for fish habita-tion, and hosts a variety of sea birds and various aquatic mammals.

“There is a significant

amount of environmental resources at risk,” Altose said.

According to Ian Jefferds, owner of Penn Cove Shellfish, the farm had voluntarily shut down mussel harvesting since Sunday as a precaution-ary measure. While leaked fuel floats on the surface and the farm’s mussels grow on 20-foot strings underwater, contamination is still a con-cern.

Jefferds said the voluntary closure will remain in effect until the leaking fuel situa-tion is resolved, which he said he hoped would happen Tuesday.

“We’re hopeful they will get that done today and we’ll be back in business,” he said.

Anchored illegallyAccording to Droscher,

the state has been after the Deep Sea’s owner, Rory Westmoreland, to move the derelict vessel for months.

The ship first showed up in Penn Cove this past December. Under state law, boats can anchor on public aquatic lands for 30 days before being required to move. Once that deadline was met, Droscher said her department contacted the owner nearly two dozen times in an effort to get him to remove the boat.

By March 13, the state agency began issuing Westmoreland a daily fine of $83.44. To date, he owes more than $5,250.

Attempts to reach Westmoreland for this story were not successful.

According to Droscher, the Deep Sea was one of about 2,200 derelict vessels being monitored by the state agency. They are gener-ally prioritized by order of importance and danger and Westmoreland’s boat was high on the list, she said.

But, department officials didn’t believe immediate action to remove the ves-sel was warranted as it was thought to be in relatively sound condition and was located in a sheltered anchor-age.

“To the best of our knowl-edge, we thought the boat was OK for the time being,” she said.

The agency issued a news release Monday after-noon that listed a timeline of its efforts to work with Westmoreland prior to the vessel’s sinking.

The bill adds upAlthough it’s not yet clear

just how much the clean up and salvage effort will cost, it does appear that Westmoreland will not be picking up the tab. At least initially.

Lt. Cmdr. Wade Gough, chief of the Coast Guard’s incident management divi-sion at Sector Puget Sound in Seattle, confirmed that Westmoreland has been con-tacted and that he doesn’t have the resources to pay for the clean up.

When that happens, the Coast Guard taps into the fed-eral Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, a special pot filled with money levied from oil imports --- essentially a barrel tax, Gough said.

“That takes out the wait-ing time of trying to get the owner to take responsible action,” he said.

However, the money isn’t free and Westmoreland will eventually be on the hook to pay it back. It’s also possible he could face criminal charg-es though Gough couldn’t say much about pending investigations as the Coast Guard’s current efforts are focused on clean up.

Droscher said the Department of Natural

Resources is also expecting to pay for the vessel’s remov-al. Money for that endeavor will come from a new state fund specifically designated for derelict vessels.

She could not say how much it would cost but reaf-firmed the department’s commitment to raise and remove it.

“We’ve got to get it out of there,” Droscher said.

While it’s a decision that’s up to the state agency, Jefferds is wary of the proposal. He worries that attempts to lift the burned and crippled ves-sel could result in more harm than good as it could break up or release more contami-

nants.He said Mother Nature

will fill much of the boat with sediment in just a few months time and the wreck could serve as a popular spot for divers.

Considering the risks of further environmental harm, he said it doesn’t make sense to spend what he estimated could be up to $500,000 to remove the vessel, especially when the state had months to hire a tug boat for just a few thousand dollars to haul the boat away.

“Trying to raise it up will be good money spent bad in my opinion,” Jefferds said.

As of Tuesday morning, he

said his company had already lost one day of sales as a result of Sunday’s shutdown. They had begun shuttling workers to the company’s other farm in Quilcene Bay, located in upper Hood Canal.

Jefferds said he was not planning any immediate legal action against Westmoreland to recover financial losses, that he would wait until the investigation into the circum-stances of the fire and sink-ing is complete before mak-ing any decisions.

“One step at a time,” Jefferds said. “We’ll see where this goes.”

Documents from a protection order hearing allege that 22-year-old Greenbank resident George Downey perpetrated a pattern of domestic and sexual violence long before he kidnapped and threat-ened to kill his ex-girlfriend and their 4-year-old son March 16.

Downey is currently being held in Island County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bail. He’s pleaded not guilty to charges that include two counts of first-degree kidnapping, one count of first-degree rape with forcible compulsion, two counts of burglary in the first degree and a felony violation of a court order.

Downey is accused of abducting his ex-girlfriend and their 4-year-old boy from a home on East Harbor Road near Freeland March 16. He allegedly broke into a vacant home, forced the woman inside and raped her, then threatened to kill him-self and the victims by driving off Deception Pass Bridge, according to a deputy’s report on the incident.

About an hour after the abduc-tion, deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office pulled over Downey’s Jeep on Highway 20 near Coupeville, saving the woman and child. Sheriff Mark Brown said the office was in the process of issuing an AMBER Alert --- a child abduction broadcast --- at the time of the arrest.

The victim had obtained a domes-tic violence protection order about a month before the alleged kidnap-ping, hoping to protect herself and her son from Downey. The woman told the judge about numerous inci-dents of violence and threats. She claimed he threatened to kill “all three” of them with his rifles and said he would kill himself if she left him, according to court docu-ments.

In an incident last October, Downey beat her, repeatedly raped her and choked her, the woman wrote in her petition.

Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill approved a temporary order for protection on

Feb. 15, followed by a permanent order on Feb. 29.

Island County Deputy Prosecutor David Carman said there were two open misdemeanor cases involving Downey when he was arrested for kidnapping and rape. One was a case against him for violating the protection order.

In addition, his ex-girlfriend --- the victim in the rape and kidnap-ping case --- had been charged with malicious mischief for breaking Downey’s laptop. She admitted to throwing the computer because she was frustrated that Downey yelled at her and threatened to hit her, according to her petition.

Court documents from the pro-

tection order hearing indicate that Churchill said that the allegations against Downey should be investi-gated. Carman said it was up to the victim or any witnesses to report the crimes to police; the woman said she didn’t have time before the kidnapping occurred.

Carman said most of the incidents described in the petition happened when Downey and the alleged vic-tim lived in Everett. He said the allegations will be taken into consid-eration in the current case.

If convicted of the charges against him, Downey could face more than 20 years in prison under the stan-dard sentencing range.

Whidbey General Hospital joined the nation in recogniz-ing nurses during National Nurses Week, which is cel-ebrated annually during the week of May 6.

May 6 has been desig-nated National Nurses Day to honor the nation’s nurses for their tireless commit-ment 365 days a year. The celebration of nurses and the nursing profession continued through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who was the founder of modern nursing.

This tradition was formal-ized in 1982 through a joint

resolution of the United States Congress.

The hospital celebrated its nurses with a variety of activities including displays of nursing history, education-al activities, shared meals, massages provided by the Whidbey Massage Guild, flowers and a small gift to each nurse as an expression of respect and gratitude for their service.

Dr. Patricia Connell PhD, RN led the blessing of the hands and Renee Yanke ARNP, MN, ACON pre-sented the program Healing Conversations at the End of Life.

There are about 3.1 million licensed registered nurses in America with more than 200 nurses serving the Whidbey Island community.

Nursing is the most trusted profession in the country. For the seventh straight year, nurs-es enjoy top public accolades in Gallup’s annual Honesty and Ethics of Professions survey. Eighty-four percent of Americans call their honesty and ethical standards either “high” or “very high,” accord-ing to Linda Gipson PhD RN, the hospital’s new chief nurse executive.

Nurses at Whidbey General serve in a broad range of practice settings across the continuum of care: clinics, physicians’ offices, emergen-cy services, operating room, critical care, obstetrical ser-vices, home care, hospice and rehabilitation.

Nurse specialists serve the Whidbey community in qual-ity management, infection prevention, oncology and pal-liative care, advanced prac-tice nursing and nurse anes-thesia, wound care, diabetic education, care coordination and as educators.

Through Gipson’s leader-ship and direction, the nurs-ing division has initiated

an ambitious strategic plan called Operation Nightingale, designed to differentiate Whidbey General on the basis of exceptional patient centered nursing care.

“The care of the patients who entrust themselves to our care is a privilege and a gift. As nurses we are per-mitted to be a part of a fam-ily’s most memorable and

intimate events. Whether we help bring a new life into the world, teach a new diabetic to manage the condition, or support a grandmother leav-ing this world in comfort and dignity, nurses have a unique place in the health care sys-tem. It requires tremendous skill, endless compassion and an unwavering commitment to placing our patients’ needs

above all else. The nurses at Whidbey General share that commitment,” Gipson said.

The nursing team at Whidbey General is grate-ful for the generosity of sponsors and the Whidbey General Foundation which contributed to making this week meaningful, Gipson said.

Game of the week Oak Harbor hosts the district track meet today (3:30 p.m.) and Friday (5 p.m.).

Surprising individual per-formances led to a surprising team outcome as the Oak Harbor High School boys track team won its first league title since 1978 at Shoreline Stadium Friday.

The Wildcats girls finished in the middle of the pack, plac-ing fifth out of nine teams.

Was the boys title a sur-prise? “Definitely,” head boys coach Jay Turner said. “We knew that we would be close and we talked to the kids about it a few weeks ago, but, honestly, I figured we would be in the third or fourth range.”

The Wildcat boys used superior depth to take the crown with 135 points. Glacier Peak finished with 116, one better than Shorecrest and three better than Lynnwood in a tight battle for second.

Glacier Peak ran away with the girls title with 204 points; Shorecrest finished second at 143. Oak Harbor compiled

99.The Oak Harbor boys won

only two events to Glacier

Peak’s six, but the Wildcats placed in 15 of the 17 events (GP scored in 11) and fin-ished with two in the top eight in nine events.

Oak Harbor’s two wins were “huge upsets,” accord-ing to Turner. Josh Schrum (1,600, 4:20.84) and Matt Reith (3,200, 9:41.58) took home blue ribbons while slic-ing big chunks off their previ-ous best times.

Turner said the two senior distance runners weren’t the only surprises in the meet: “Carlton Johnson was a last-second sub in the 4x400 relay and ended up running extremely well. In the throws, Carlos Beltran came out of nowhere to place seventh (javelin, 137-10). A couple of weeks ago he was a JV sprint-er. Also, the discus duo of Keon Crumpton (fourth, 130-11) and freshman Jackson Constant (seventh, 122-2) both placed, which was a pleasant surprise.”

He added, “Freshmen Dejon Devroe had one of the most amazing meets for a freshman that I have seen. He placed in four events and also ran a sub-50 split in the 4x400 relay to help the team place third.”

Devroe was third in the 400 (50.58), seventh in the 200 (23.66) and eighth in the long jump (18-11). He, along with Johnson, Connor Meyer and Chris Opdyke, ran the 4x400 in 3:27.78.

Josiah Miller, competing with a sore back, finished second in the 100 (10.9) and 200 (22.6) and third in the triple jump (41-02).

As for the girls, Turner said, “The 4x200 relay team was a bit of a surprise in get-ting second (Sierra Seabolt, Maura McKole, Jessica Hollins, Christina Alexander, 1:48.1). I also thought Christina Wicker ran well and Dominique Jackson had a very nice meet in all three throws.”

Wicker placed second in

the 400 (1:01), sixth in the 800 (2:22.41) and fifth in the 4x400 (4:18.08) with Kelsey Johnson, Heather Dale and McKole.

Jackson was third in the discus (106-05), sixth in the javelin (89-11) and seventh in the shot put (32-03).

Head girls coach Eric Peterson said the girls received personal bests in the 800 from Wicker, Dale (sev-enth, 2:23.63) and Hannah Bressler (eighth, 2:26.44) and from Alex Laiblin in the 3,200 (eighth, 11:53.63).

Raeanna Wynne placed in three events (second, 100 hurdles, 16.09; sixth, triple jump, 32-04.5; seventh, 300 hurdles, 51.11) and Jessica Hollins (fourth, 100, 12:92; third, 200, 26.85) and Ciera Wiser (fourth, javelin, 99-11; seventh, triple jump, 31-08.5) in two.

McKole finished second in the 200 (26.85).

Oak Harbor hosts the dis-trict meet today (3:30 p.m.) and Friday (5 p.m.)

Other top-eight finishes at the league meet:

Third, boys: Schrum, 800, 1:57.52; Chris Hailer, high jump, 5-10.

Fourth, boys: Reith, 1,600, 4:31.87; 4x100 relay, Peter Franssen, Sheyenne Sams, Johnson, Cody Hernkind, 44.91.

Fifth, boys: Meyer, 800, 2:04.86; John Rodeheffer, 3,200, 10:02.78; Jeremy Foster, shot, 45-02.75.

Fifth, girls: Seabolt, 100, 13.05.

Sixth, boys: Josh McVey, pole vault, 11; Hernkind, long jump, 19-01.

Sixth, girls: 4x100 relay, Nalani Gabbert, Seabolt, Alexander, Hollins, 52.27.

Seventh, boys: Clayton Richardson, 800, 2:07.14; Dayne Herron, shot, 44-02; Jacob Olson, high jump, 5-06; Tucker Lundstrom, triple jump, 40-02.5.

Oak Harbor’s Josiah Miller, center, blasts out of the blocks in the 200 at the conference meet Friday. Miller finished second to Glacier Peak’s Andrew Prentice, left. Shorewood’s Niko Frazier, right, placed fifth. Miller also finished second in the 100 and third in the triple jump to help the Wildcats win the team title.

John Fisken/Whidbey News-Times

Josh Schrum heads to the finish line to place third in the 800. Earlier he won the 1,600 to collect one of the two individual firsts by a Wildcat in the conference meet.

Qualifying for the tri-district tournament is becoming rou-tine for Coupeville doubles player Amanda d’Almeida.

D’Almeida, a junior, earned her third consecutive doubles crown and berth into tri-dis-trict by winning the district title in Coupeville Friday.

She will be joined at tri-district by her partner Lexi Blanchette and district singles champion Emily Burchfield. For seniors Blanchette and Burchfield, it will be their first trip to tri-district.

The district champions received automatics berths to tri-district, which is 8 a.m. Thursday at the Amy Yee Tennis Center in Seattle.

Sophomore Allie Hanigan, who finished third at dis-trict, had a second shot to make tri-district but dropped a play-in match to Vashon Island’s Molly Johnson 6-3, 6-3 Monday in Coupeville.

One opposing coach called d’Almeida and Blanchette a “buzz saw” as the pair ripped through the doubles competi-tion. They opened by routing Friday Harbor’s Lita Gislason and Ashton Timmons 6-0, 6-0, and closed by thumping Friday Harbor’s McKenzie Satin and Katherine Dietzmen 6-2, 6-0.

Coach Ken Stange said, “My top doubles team has had a simple goal all season long: play well enough and win the matches necessary to gain entry to the state tourna-

ment.”In the other first-round

doubles match, Satin and Dietzmen edged Coupeville’s Grayson Akins, a senior, and Holly Craggs, a junior, 7-6(7-4), 3-6, 7-5.

Stange said, “If one match was a heartbreaker today, this was definitely the one.”

The pair bounced back to defeat Gislason and Timmons 6-3, 6-2 for third.

Burchfield began her jour-ney to tri-district by dump-ing Nooksack Valley’s Abbi Steele 6-2, 6-0.

Stange said, “Emily got off to a bit of a rocky start, but once she got dialed in, she was dominant and in con-trol.”

In the eighth and final meeting between two seniors,

Burchfield defeated Friday Harbor’s Rebecca Leff 6-3, 7-6(7-5) for the singles title.

Last year Burchfield topped Leff three times before falling to her at district. This year, Leff won the first meeting, then Burchfield took the final three.

Stange said, “When two people play tennis as often as Rebecca and Emily do, it becomes more than the aver-age match...It becomes per-sonal…(and) mutual respect grows.”

Leff reached the finals by defeating Hanigan 6-2, 6-0.

Stange said, “The match seemed much closer than the score would indicate. Many games went to deuce.”

Hanigan grabbed third by defeating Steele 6-0, 6-2.

team has worked diligently to perfect their dishes and the choreography necessary to complete the meal in such a limited time.

The team represented Oak Harbor and Washington with professionalism and grace at all times, Arthur said.

In addition to the trophy, each team member also received culinary prizes and $6,000 in scholarships for spe-cific culinary schools.

Crafters Co-op isn’t your aver-age crafting store. Instead of rows of acrylic fabrics and synthetic crafts, the new shop on Pioneer Way offers a breath of fresh air with natural fibers, rugs made from recycled T-shirts, vintage buttons and fabrics and a homey studio with everything needed to make hundreds of unique crafts.

Crafters Co-op is packed with eco-friendly finished products and supplies for sewing, spinning, weav-ing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, felting, rug making, scrapbooking and much more.

But two aspects propel Crafters Co-op far beyond other craft stores: the reduce, reuse, recycle mindset of the six ladies who formed the co-op, and the studio packed with supplies and equipment open to the public.

The craft artisans making up the co-op are Dena Royal, Glennda Wright, Agatha Nicolle, Jessica Fisher, Kathy Hawkes and Ana Locicero. They range in age from mid-20s to late 60s.

“We wanted a place to have fami-lies do fun crafts with their kids or by themselves,” Wright said of their decision to open the shop. The goal is to show people how to get back to small crafts and realize their value, Wright said.

Crafters Co-op, located at 910 Pioneer Way, opened in April. The co-op members have been work-ing together to remodel the space since February.

Crafters Co-op has already earned its Whidbey Green Seal, a program that recognizes organiza-tions that practice environmental sustainability. At least 75 percent of

Crafters Co-op’s supplies are recy-cled, reclaimed or vintage.

“We’re trying to change the younger generation from being a throw away society,” Royal said.

For example, Wright makes reusable dusters out of bathrobes and colorful braided rugs out of T-shirts. At Crafters Co-op, you’ll find aprons made out of blue jeans and purses made out of sweaters. Fisher repurposes children’s cloth-ing to make exciting new outfits, such as cutting off jeans and adding frills to make a fancy child’s skirt.

Another aspect of being envi-ronmentally friendly is not being wasteful. Crafters Co-op sells indi-vidual needles and single yards of

trim so shoppers don’t have to buy large amounts that they won’t use, Royal said. This also reduces pack-aging waste.

The members find materials at thrift stores, estate sales and in their own homes; why waste some-thing that can be used to create a useful item?

Each co-op member also teaches classes, which cost $10 per hour, plus materials, which are often as simple as bringing a few old T-shirts, the materials for Wright’s rug-making class.

But you don’t have to wait for a class to try making these crafts. The studio is open to the public for $3 a day for elementary-age students and $5 a day for older children and adults. The studio is equipped with sewing machines, an embroidery machine, scrapbooking materials, fiber arts materials and equipment and much more. The members plan to offer birthday parties soon.

A local art teacher said she was “in craft nirvana” in the studio, Royal said. She even sees Skagit Valley College students stop by to create between classes.

“It’s a chance for people to try out and use equipment without buying it for themselves,” Royal said.

Directions for simple projects are available for free and families can spend time together making felted beads, woven bookmarks and much more for just the small

cost of the materials and the studio fee. As a bonus, parents bringing elementary-age kids don’t have to pay their own studio fee.

“You can spend a couple hours together for under $5,” Royal said.

The shop is open until 8 p.m. to offer family activities in the eve-nings, too.

The shop also offers a crafting library of 200 books. For the studio fee, people can read, take notes and trace patterns.

“We really want to share that knowledge,” Royal said.

And that’s what the co-op mem-bers are focused on, bottom line. One day, Royal said, a lady came to the shop looking for iron-on let-ters, which Crafters Co-op doesn’t carry. Instead, Royal showed her another way --- a less expensive way --- to apply letters to baby clothing. Later, the lady returned to say how wonderfully that worked out.

“We didn’t make a big sell out of that, but it was very rewarding to show someone how to do that,” Royal said.

The members are constantly showing each other something new as they attend each others’ classes. They hold classes nearly every day; a schedule is available at www. facebook.com/whidbeycrafts. They also do private lessons.

Crafters Co-op does not sell crafts made by non-co-op members.

For details, call 360-632-4200.

With a new slew of volun-teer board members, work continues on organizing a popular celebration of Native American culture.

The Penn Cove Water Festival takes place Saturday, May 19 and it features canoe races that attract Native Americans from across the Puget Sound region along with dancers and storytell-ers that make the festival a popular pre-summer attrac-tion.

The previous commit-tee had spent more than 20 years organizing the Penn Cove Water Festival. Even though they successfully organized the event year after year, board members were starting to tire and con-sidered shelving the festival

unless they could find some new help.

Six newcomers eventually joined the board, giving the festival new life.

“It’s been fantastic,” said Lisa Haas, president of the Penn Cove Water Festival. “We’ve had a ball putting this thing together.”

Seven Indian tribes from Washington state and Canada have signed up for the races and Haas said she expects several more teams to arrive on race day.

The races start at noon and continue through the afternoon.

Races from single-person to 11-person canoes take place throughout Penn Cove. Racers gather at Captain Coupe Park. Spectators can catch the races by walking onto the pier leading to the Coupeville Wharf. The Penn Cove Water

Festival began in the 1930s and centered on the canoe races.

World War II prompted the cancellation of the festi-val and it wasn’t revived until 1991. It has been held every spring since then.

In addition to the canoe races, a variety of storytell-ers, dancers and performers will be on hand to enter-tain the thousands of people who will wander through Coupeville Saturday.

The entertainment stage will feature performances by Native American violinist Swil Kanim and the

Tshimshain Haayuuk Dancers.

Storytellers Rosie James and Lou Labombard will share Native American oral histories. They will speak near the blockhouse located at the Island County Museum.

In addition to the Water Festival, the Native Spirit

Art Show takes place both Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

Haas said the new group initially had trouble raising money.

But, thanks to some anon-ymous donations, along with support from Puget Sound Energy and the Honor

Works Foundation, the fes-tival was able to continue providing entertainment.

She hopes the festival will expand to include a second day next year and include such additions as a parade.

“We’re trying to make it a whole weekend festival,” Haas said.

Notice of Availability of the Finding of No Sig- nificant Impact (FONSI) to a Supplemental En- vironmental Assess- ment (SEA) for the al- terat ion of the Pre- ferred Alternative to the Child Development Center (CDC) at Naval A i r S t a t i o n ( N A S ) Whidbey Island, Island County, Washington. Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Qual- ity regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500 1508) imple- menting the National En- vironmental Policy Act (NEPA), and Chief of Naval Operat ions In- struction (OPNAVINST) 5090.1C CH-1, the De- par tment of the Navy (Navy) gives notice that a Supplemental Environ- m e n t a l A s s e s s m e n t (SEA) has been pre- pared and an Environ- mental Impact State- ment is not required for the alteration of a CDC at NASWI on Seaplane Base, Is land County, Washington. The Navy signed a FONSI on 23 November 2009 for the proposed action of Lead- ership in Energy and En- v i r o n m e n t a l D e s i g n

(LEED®) Certification of Silver. However, addi- tional energy enhance- ment funding was made avai lable to construct wind turbines and ele- v a t e t h e d e s i g n t o LEED® Gold. Proposed Action: Subsequent to publication of the Notice of Availability, the Navy determined that addition- al funding was available for energy enhancement projects such as resi- dential-sized wind tur- bines that elevated the LEED® Certification to Gold versus the pro- posed action of LEED® Cer tif ication of Silver. The Gold alternative was evaluated in the EA and determined to have no significant impacts; how- ever, the EA did not ad- dress potential impacts of wind turbines. The Navy analyzed the po- tential effects of the wind turbines and determined that they would not ad- versely affect the visual setting of the area be- cause their height would be similar to parking lot lights and shorter than surrounding trees. On the west side, adjacent to Regatta Dr ive, the CDC and associated in- f rastructure would be par tially obstructed by native vegetation left in place. Sound from wind turbine operation would be 40-45 dB, which is not ant ic ipated to be heard over typical back- ground noise. Informal consul ta t ion wi th the U.S. Fish and Wildl i fe Service on 29 June 2011 confirmed that the risk of injury to or mortality of listed species under the Endangered Species Act and bald eagles is mini- mal. Furthermore, resi- dential-sized wind tur- bines do not require a permit under the Migra- tory Bird Treaty Act. The purpose of the originally Proposed Action was to provide an accredited, local, and center-based daycare to children of Navy personnel who are currently on a waiting list fo r CDC care and to c o m p l y w i t h O P N A - VINST 1700.9E, Child a n d Yo u t h P r o g ra m . The FONSI addressing this action is based on the SEA dated Decem- ber 2011, which evaluat- ed the potential environ- mental effects of wind turbines and achieving LEED® Gold.

WE’RE WORKING WITH HOMEOWNERSIN NEED OF ASSISTANCE IN WASHINGTON

Providing solutions for homeowners in need of assistance remains a critical focus for Bank of America. We want to give as many customers as possible the chance to stay in their homes. That’s why we’re reaching out to homeowners in the nation’s hardest-hit communities, meeting with them face-to-face and working with them over the phone.

Since 2009, Bank of America has held customer outreach events in Washington and across the country. Through these events and other outreach efforts, we’ve helped modify over one million mortgages nationwide since 2008.
