Sex predators spur forum on prevention

Clear paddling in Penn Cove

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Divers from Ballard Diving & Salvage prepare to head out to the sunken Deep Sea Thursday after the day’s shift change. Twenty-four-hour operations ceased this week and the Penn Cove Water Festival will go ahead as planned.

Canoe races OK as diesel mopped up

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Despite the Sunday sinking of a 128-foot fishing boat and at least 2,000 gallons of leaked diesel fuel, about 300 canoe racers will hit the water in Coupeville today for the 21st annual Penn Cove Water Festival.

Organizers announced Thursday morning that they had received the official green light to proceed with the historic water races, settling earlier fears that the sinking of the Deep Sea might interfere with the

yearly event.

The derelict crab boat, which had been illegally anchored in Penn Cove for months, caught fire late Saturday evening. Most of the topside fires were extinguished early on but the vessel continued to steam through Sunday until it sank at about 6 p.m.

According to Kyle Waterman, a member of the festival’s board, the leaked fuel was a concern, but it turned out that the bigger obstacle was expected competition for See boat, A4

An increase in reports of sexual assaults, including two highprofile sexual predator cases in Oak Harbor, has spurred the county sheriff and others to put together a panel discussion about the issue.

Sheriff Mark Brown said the “Community Discussion of Predator Prevention” is aimed at educating parents and other adults about keeping children safe from sexual predators. He said a lot of people are talking and speculating about sex offenders and pedophiles because of the publicized cases, so it’s a good time to broach the subject.

“This is not just Oak Harbor’s problem,” he said. “It’s a huge problem throughout the state and throughout the nation.”

The event is co-sponsored by the sheriff’s office and the new Oak Harbor Youth Council. It will be at 6 p.m., Thursday, May 31 at the North Whidbey Middle School.

The panel will include detectives who investigate sex crimes, the director of the county’s domestic violence and sexual See panel, A7

Suspicious fire destroys Oak Harbor outbuildings Special needs kids at home

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor woman who takes in special needs kids has no doubt a fire that consumed two of her outbuildings Wednesday was intentionally set and it is just the latest in a string of incidents that may be racially motivated.

Police and fire investigators aren’t so sure, but they’re looking into the suspicious blaze that destroyed the outbuildings behind the house in Oak Harbor.

The fire occurred on Mary Geist’s property at 1660 NE 11th Ave. and was first reported by the homeowner at 4:52 p.m., according to Oak Harbor Fire Chief Ray Merrill.

Geist said she was homeschooling several of her 10 children when they looked out the window and saw “the blackest, billowing cloud of smoke.” First to respond were neighbors with hoses, but in the confusion she couldn’t get their names.

“If it weren’t for them the fire would have got to my house before the firefighters got here,” she said Thursday, asking that her thanks be relayed to the four young men. Geist also grabbed a hose to defend her house and children.

Geist, clearly upset when she was speaking on the phone, said neighborhood kids often start fires in the nearby park. She spearheaded construction of the park, which features playground equipment for children with special needs.

Beyond the fires, Geist said her children have been

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Homeowner Mary Geist talks to an emergency responder after a fire that destroyed her two storage buildings was extinguished. Geist, who provides a home to special needs children, believes the fire was intentionally started in another instance of harassment from which her family has been suffering. harassed because of their race, with racist slurs written on the sidewalks and threats made with rocks and pellet guns. Older kids have been followed home from swim practice by an unknown male, who also harassed Geist in a parking lot. Smaller fires have been set in the park.

Responding from the department’s headquarters on Whidbey Avenue, Engine 81 was on the scene within minutes and arrived to find the two outbuildings, both of which were used for storage, engulfed in flames.

“Both were well involved,” Merrill said.

Crews were able to knock down the flames quickly, however, and had the fire under control in less than 10 minutes. Small spot fires con-

tinued to pop up for another 10 to 15 minutes due to the structures being packed with storage items that ranged from containers of Christmas decorations to stacks of magazines as well as lawn mowers.

“The stuff just kept burning because we couldn’t get to the base of the fire,” Merrill said.

Geist said the buildings contained many irreplaceable items collected from her past. “It was my life in those sheds,” she said, citing “family heirlooms and antiques from my grandmother.”

The fire chief noted that their efforts were made easier thanks to the homeowner and the neighbors who had been attacking the blaze with garden hoses before the department arrived.

“They helped slow the process down,” Merrill said.

Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services also responded to the incident. Altogether, Merrill said 20 firefighters were at the scene.

The fire is believed to have originated between the two outbuildings, said Merrill, although exactly how it started is still unknown. He said an investigation has been opened to determine the cause.

“At this point we haven’t ruled out an intentionally set fire or an accidental vanity fire,” he said.

A vanity fire is one that was started by a youth who is overly curious about matches or other fire-starting devices. All investigators know for sure is that the

blaze was started by a person, he said.

At 2 p.m., about three hours before the fire, a 911 caller from the 1400 block of NE 11th Avenue reported that her “daughter’s boyfriend threatened to burn down her house.”

Oak Harbor police, who are also investigating the fire, indicated the two incidents don’t appear to be related.

Chief Rick Wallace said an officer was sent to the earlier threat and the names from that incident don’t match those associated with the later fire.

“We can’t rule it out yet but I don’t see any connection,” Wallace said. “But it is awful coincidental.”

At this point, he said there has been no determination that a crime has actually

occurred, only that the fire is “suspicious” in nature.

However, if it’s later found that the fire was intentionally set, as Geist believes, the person responsible could face charges of reckless burning or arson, both of which can be felonies.

Geist said she has contacted the Oak Harbor police and fire departments about past incidents of harassment and small fires but they haven’t responded, and she’s worried about her kids’ safety.

“I’m scared and can’t get any help from anybody,” she said.

Anyone with information about the fire is urged to call police at 279-4600.

School superintendent candidates flunk finals District looks for interim fix

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Days of interviews, campus tours and public forums didn’t bear any fruit for the Coupeville School District.

The school board unanimously decided Thursday evening not to offer the district’s superintendent position to any of the finalists who were paraded around the schools.

The three candidates for the superintendent position were Ron Franklin, superintendent of the King’s Way Christian School System in Vancouver, Wash.; Rob Clark, director of federal and special programs for the Eastmont School District in East Wenatchee; and Clayton Mork, graduate instructor and interim field supervisor at Western Washington University.

The candidates each spent one day in the school district

visiting with students and staff before attending a public forum during the evening.

The board members met in a brief executive session Thursday evening before publicly deciding against offering a job to any of the finalists.

Jeff Tasoff, vice-president of the Coupeville School Board, said the three men were all qualified and passionate about their work.

“They just didn’t really align with our needs. ... We just didn’t have that perfect fit,” Tasoff said Friday.

The school district had hired a firm, MacPherson and Jacobson, to coordinate the superintendent search.

The firm will help find an interim superintendent and assist with the search next year. The school board had previously approved a $6,500 contract, plus expenses, to conduct a superintendent search.

Tasoff said the school district will also work with the Educational Service District to find the temporary super-

intendent.

The search for a permanent superintendent will resume next winter.

The current superintendent, Patty Page, is resigning her position to take a position with the North Kitsap School District. She is completing the school year in Coupeville.

Because she announced her resignation in March, the school district was on an abbreviated schedule to find a suitable replacement. Her resignation came at a time when other school districts had already filled superintendent positions.

Coupeville board members have said since the beginning of the search process that they were more interested in finding the right candidate than being forced into filling the position.

Tasoff said he would like to see an interim superintendent hired before Page’s tenure in Coupeville ends, which would provide some continuity. Her last day will be June 30.

Court order violations send man to prison

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 31-year-old Oak Harbor man will be going to prison for repeatedly violating a court order to stay away from his ex-girlfriend and their two kids, according to court documents.

Jay Whitmore pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court May 7 to felony violation of a court order.

Judge Vickie Churchill sentenced him to one year and one month in prison, which was the recommendation

the prosecution and defense worked out in a plea bargain.

She also ordered him to pay $1,217 in fines and fees.

Under the terms of the plea bargain, Whitmore’s prison sentence doesn’t start until June 4.

Whitmore was arrested after he confronted his exgirlfriend and her boyfriend — along with the two small children ­— in the Oak Harbor Walmart parking lot Aug. 24 of last year. A judge had approved no-contact orders preventing him from contacting the woman or the

“It wasn’t necessarily about contamination, though it was a concern,” Waterman said.

“It was more about the boat launch.”

Since the vessel sank, the area has been abuzz with boats from private, state and federal agencies working to mitigate the impacts of the leaking fuel. As a result, the Coupeville boat launch has been a busy place.

However, Waterman said there will be enough room this weekend for the 35 to 40 canoes expected to participate in the 11 featured races.

GRIEF RECOVERY SUPPORT GROUP

The response and coordination of the many local, state and federal agencies involved was also a likely factor as efforts to contain and manage the potential ecological disaster began right away.

The Coast Guard hired private contractors for diving and spill response; the Department of Ecology has been on the scene since day one and conducted environmental assessments; the state Department of Health has been taking water samples; local fire departments worked to contain the initial fire; and town and county governments are coordinating with state and federal partners.

Costs mount up All the effort is coming at a price. Gough said the cost of its spill response and diving contractors alone is ranging from $30,000 to $55,000 a day. Funding is coming from the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, a special pot filled with money levied from oil imports, and Gough said he believed the Coast Guard would need to increase its current cost cap of $300,000 to cover the final bill.

And that’s only the price of hired contractors. It does not include the cost of Coast Guard assets on the scene --boats and helicopters --- and the expense being incurred by all the other agencies

involved.

“Once you add that all up, it’s quite expensive,” Gough said.

The state Department of Natural Resources is moving ahead with plans to raise and remove the vessel and ballpark figures are in the neighborhood of $500,000, according to Toni Droscher, an agency spokeswoman.

“That’s a rough estimate,” she said. “It’s hard to say until we know more about what we’re looking at.”

Droscher said the department is still waiting for finalized reports from divers on the vessel’s condition. She said the plan is to put the project of removing the boat from the water out to bid soon, but she doesn’t know yet when it will actually be raised.

All of the costs are expected to be reimbursed by the vessel’s owner, Rory Westmoreland.

Talk of the town The burning and subsequent sinking of the Deep Sea may not have resulted in ecological disaster but that hasn’t stopped it from being the talk of Coupeville.

“It’s certainly become the local topic of conversation,” said William Bell, owner of Local Grown coffee shop at the end of the wharf. “A lot of people are scratching their heads about why it wasn’t removed sooner, why it wasn’t cared for better, why it wasn’t taken away from the (mussel) rafts; it goes on and on.”

It’s also sparked more than a few theories about how the fire started. Rumors range from spontaneous combustion and an onboard meth lab to a person living aboard the derelict vessel.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said he’s also heard a

variety of rumors but couldn’t substantiate anything as it’s an ongoing investigation that’s being led by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The Coast Guard and various state agencies are also involved, he said.

The sinking and diesel spill has had an impact on several local businesses. According to Delia Curt, a bartender at Toby’s Tavern on Front Street, many people have been a little more cautious when it comes to the restaurant’s signature mussel dishes.

“We’ve had a lot of calls about whether we’re serving contaminated mussels,” she said. “We’re not.”

Toby’s is supplied by Coupeville-based Penn Cove Shellfish, a mussel farm with rafts on the front lines of the sunken fishing boat. The firm voluntarily suspended harvesting on Sunday, but began harvesting at the next day at their other farm on the Olympic Peninsula.

“We’re still harvesting in Quilcene so we’ve really only lost one day,” said owner Ian Jefferds, estimating the financial impact of the day’s lost sales at over $40,000.

Since then, the state Department of Health has closed shellfish harvesting in Penn Cove completely. It’s unclear how long it will be in effect but it’s expected to run into next week at the very least.

Due to the high media exposure of the event, Jefferds said the farm’s reputation may also have suffered a hit. He worries about customer concerns such as those being seen at Toby’s and wonders how long they will last what the cumulative impact will be.

“Time will tell,” he said.

Oak Harbor saves $1 million on water main bid

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor construction company gave city officials a pleasant surprise.

City Engineer Eric Johnston announced during Tuesday’s City Council meeting that the winning bid for a water main on Gun Club Road came in $1 million lower than the original estimate.

C. Johnson Construction of Oak Harbor submitted the low bid of $1.14 million for installation of 5,500 feet of

water main pipe to serve a future water reservoir on the north end of the city.

The engineer originally estimated the cost at $2.2 million to $2.5 million. The city received 15 bids, with a high bid of $1.65 million from NOVA Contracting of Olympia.

“He’s a pretty aggressive bidder when in comes to this kind of work,” Johnston said, referring to C. Johnson owner Corey Johnson.

Johnston said the project will be paved with a warm-

asphalt mix that’s better for the environment because it reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gases.

Because of the big savings, city officials decided to hire a construction management company to manage the water main project at a cost of $115,000. The city’s engineers had planned to manage the project, but hiring the consultants will free them up to do other work. Johnston said the delays of the Pioneer Way project have engineers scrambling to catch up on

Park and rec district prefers Walker

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

The North Whidbey Park and Recreation District is moving forward with hiring a new executive director if a financial agreement can be reached.

Thursday evening, the commissioners approved a motion to start negotiating with Oak Harbor resident Bill Walker as the new director. The district’s main business is operating the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

Walker was one of six finalists being considered to replace Craig Carlson, who resigned in December 2011.

Walker, owner of Ruby Creek Boathouse in Anacortes, has experience organizing kayak events in Seattle and is a former resort manager.

Commissioner Sean

Merrill said Walker’s leadership skills and ability to work well with others made him the preferred candidate.

The commissioners interviewed six people for the position earlier in the spring, but stopped the process after questions arose as to whether the elected board followed the proper process to find a replacement. The board met with a lawyer and decided to step back and re-examine the applications of approximately 20 people who applied.

The marathon public meeting Thursday included several executive sessions. The commissioners cut the candidate list to six finalists. They include Walker, Michael Weinbrecht from Meeker, Colo., Ricardo Freitas of Sepastopol, Calif., Bruce Irwin from Eugene, Ore., Robert O’Shaughnessy

from Munster, Ind. and Rick Janecke from the Tri-Cities.

The commissioners met in executive session to review candidate qualifications before announcing Walker as the preferred choice. The board also ranked the finalists. Should negotiations fall through with Walker, they will move on to Janecke, then O’Shaughnessy, then Fritas, then Irwin.

The commissioners set a salary scale of $50,000 to $59,000 for the new director position. The park district had budgeted $56,000 for the position this year before Carlson resigned.

Commissioners Lori Clark and Merrill will negotiate with Walker while commissioner Dennis Jepsen will work with a company to perform a background check.

other projects.

The new water reservoir project, for example, is scheduled to go out to bid in August. It’s estimated to cost $4 million.

Johnston said an archaeology investigation was completed at the site and there’s no reason to expect any cultural resources will be disturbed.

An inadvertent discovery plan is in place just in case.

The good news about the

bid came after the council members discussed the high cost associated with the inadvertent discovery of Native American remains during the Pioneer Way project. Finance Director Doug Merriman said the final costs could end up being $1 million or more above the budget for the project.

Councilman Rick Almberg questioned whether the increased costs of the Pioneer

Way project and the savings from the Gun Club Road project would be “a wash.”

Merriman, however, pointed out that the savings from the Gun Club Road project will only affect the budget for the water utility, while the costs of the Pioneer Way projects will impact a number of utilities.

C. Johnson is expected to start work on the Gun Club Road water main project this month.

IN OUR OPINION

Derelict boat laws too lenient Penn Cove, Central Whidbey’s “Particular Friend” as the late Coupeville historian Jimmie Jean Cook put it in the title of her popular book, has never had a more difficult week.

By fuel spill standards it wasn’t huge, but several thousand gallons of diesel leaked from the derelict fishing boat Deep Sea after it sank Sunday following a fire that started Saturday night.

The state closed shellfish gathering and aerial photos showed a sheen on the water just offshore from the town of Coupeville and affecting the famous mussel rafts owned

by Penn Cove Shellfish. The mussels are grown well under water, so hopefully the spill will dissipate in a hurry and there will be no long-term environmental or economic losses.

Ironically, the spill coincides with this week’s Penn Cove Water Festival, which celebrates Coupeville’s historic seafaring ties to the water. Organizers announced Thursday the show would go on. Indians will arrive for their traditional canoe races, and only minor negative impacts are anticipated.

Still, many residents throughout Whidbey Island and the entire state shed tears of worry over their “particular friend,” and agreed that such a thing should never have happened. How could an abandoned fishing boat loaded with fuel be allowed to anchor in pristine waters unattended for many months?

State law regulates how derelict boats are treated, and there’s no need to place blame on any one agency or individual other than Rory Westmoreland, the owner of the boat, who was being fined at the rate of $83.44 per day, starting at the 30 day mark. The bill had reached $5,250 as of the day of the fire.

Obviously, the Department of Ecology needs the power to quickly remove derelict boats from where they are moored if they are deemed an environmental threat. As the experience with the Deep Sea proves, levying a relatively small fine doesn’t deter such irresponsibility.

After a matter of days, not weeks or months, the DOE should have the power to order a boat towed to a safer place at the expense of the owner. If the owner can’t pay, there should be criminal penalties if taxpayers have to pick up the towing tab. Either way, the environment should be the top priority.

Our 10th District delegation to Olympia should waste no time crafting a new law to allow the quick removal of derelict boats, more than 200 of which exist in Puget Sound.

We have to treat our friends better than this, especially our particular friends.

Do not make it a political football or try to force your will over the society and culture we live in. Unless you are trying to be a troublemaker, it only proves that you are not a gentleman!

As for the council meeting

itself, the terms “parliamentary procedures and council rules” were used. Not just the meeting process, but also the subjects to be discussed should be listed or posted before hand for those who wish to attend.

Trying to change the subject is not freedom of speech, it is irresponsible and used by people who want to confuse, disrupt and make trouble. If you want freedom of speech or to change the subject, go start your own meeting someplace else. If you do not understand, you should be escorted out!

of beach and pick up debris.

In the past few months I have found a dozen or so discs.

I have also collected eight large garbage bags of assorted garbage including plastic bottles, pieces of fiberglass, a few tires and so on. Because I love the water, I choose to believe no one deliberately tosses garbage in it.

I choose to clean the beach as I feel it is a privilege to live and work on Whidbey Island. Once I gather a basket of discs I take them to Penn Cove Shellfishs (PCS).

When asked if I would like anything, I reply no thank you. For me, I like cleaning the beach. I do not expect anything other than to do a little something for the community. It is good exercise and if I help a local business along the way, great.

I do not believe for one moment that PCS likes to lose their discs from the mussel beds. It is a direct loss of a business asset. I will contact PCS to see if I can

help with the area of concern to Mr. Sharpe. If everyone did one nice thing without expectation of something in return, think about our collective impact.

I would like to thanks Ian Jefferds for his consistent respectful response to public criticism. I would also like to thank Mr. Sharpe for pointing out an area of the beach that needs my help!

Trust your ‘gut feeling’ when it comes to child abuse

By Margie Porter

Now that April’s “Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month” reminders are behind us, it’s all too easy to compartmentalize those sad abuse facts. Unfortunately, we need to be “aware” each and every day. We can enjoy the beauty of spring and our wonderful life on Whidbey Island, but we must also face the simple truth that we are not exempt from violence in our community.

During the past several weeks we have been faced with the sad reality that horrific things do happen on Whidbey. We’ve read it in the newspapers and seen it on the news. There was the guilty verdict in a horrific case of child sexual abuse. That was followed by allegations of abuse against young boys by a Cub Scout leader. And most recently, a volunteer in a local church is accused of molest-

panel CONTINUED FROM A1 assault agency, a Department of Corrections official who conducts special investigations of convicted sex offenders and others.

Brown said he’s trying to walk a fine line between educating the public about the real dangers posed by child predators and trying not to cast suspicion on volunteers or volunteer groups. The simple truth is that the vast majority of people who volunteer to help children are good people.

“We do need to understand that these groups do a tremendous amount of good in the community,” he said.

The cases that spurred the creation of the community forum involve leaders of youth groups accused of molesting boys. Both of the men are currently being held in jail.

Ronald Asplund was a coordinator of a youth ministry at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. He’s accused of molesting two boys, including one he met through the church. Detectives are looking into his involvement with Big Brothers Big Sisters and other organizations outside the area.

Anthony Polubinski was charged with raping and molesting one boy, but detectives with the Island County Sheriff’s Office say they’ve identified at least two other victims. He was a Cub Scout leader in Oak Harbor, but there are no allegations that

ing young boys.

You may ask, “Why do these things happen here?” or, “Is it worse here than anywhere else?” My response: “Why would we be different than anywhere else?” Yes, we live in a beautiful place, but it’s not a perfect world. While we can’t change those who offend, we can protect those who are at-risk of being abused.

Did you know that approximately 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually assaulted before the age of 18? Or that in up to 90 percent of all child sexual abuse cases, the child knows the offender? We can’t change what has recently happened, but we can work to prevent these horrific things from happening in the future.

Offenders spend a great deal of time and energy in

he victimized children he met through the group.

In addition, police and prosecutors have dealt with a number of other serious sex crimes. Oak Harbor resident Ryan Stephenson was convicted of raping a toddler. Oak Harbor resident Roderick Woods was accused of raping and molesting his friends’ children. Greenbank resident George Downey was charged with kidnapping and rape.

Officials aren’t sure whether the increase in reports of sex crimes represents a trend or if it’s just a coincidence.

“It seems to come in waves, but there are long periods of time when we don’t have anything like this,” said Detective Teri Gardner with the Oak Harbor Police. She worked for 10 years as the department’s sex-crime detective and now supervises investigations.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said his office received 17 referrals for felony sex crimes in the first four months of the year, as compared to seven during the same period last year.

Prosecutors charged a total of seven adults and four juveniles with felony sex offenses all of last year; in the first quarter of this year, the office has already charged 10 adults and one juvenile.

“It’s hard to say whether this is a trend or not, since I’m looking at such a short time period,” Banks said.

“But whether or not there is a trend, it’s definitely created a real and significant increase in my office’s work-

the process of “grooming” to gain trust and have easy access to the victim. They give the victim bribes, gifts, special privileges, excessive compliments, use their position of authority (coach, boy scout leader) and later continue to manipulate with threats and guilt to maintain secrecy (“If you tell anyone, you’ll destroy the family”).

It’s up to all of us to pay attention to our children and watch for signs that a child is being abused. Here are some things you should watch for:

THE CHILD …

• Shows sudden changes in behavior (angry, overly compliant, passive or withdrawn) or in school performance.

• Has not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents’ attention.

• Has learning problems, or difficulty concentrating,

load because the cases are so demanding. And they are cases that really extract an emotional price from the people who work on them --- not just in my office, but in the entire criminal justice system.

Of course, our pain is nothing compared to what the victims of sex crimes go through.”

Statistics on violent crime show that the violent crime rate increased in 2011 over the previous year in Island County and Oak Harbor, though the rate is still lower than the state average. The number of “forcible rapes” increased by 41 percent in the county as a whole last year.

Margie Porter, the director of Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, said her agency has seen a recent increase in the number of victims come through the door for help. The agency had a 10 percent increase in new clients in the first quarter of the year compared to the same period last year.

“It feels like a lot more for us,” she said, explaining that they’ve spent a great deal of time with many of the new clients.

Porter said a lot of people are talking about the issue and are asking her what’s going on, but she can’t explain the increase beyond a historic trend. More people are aware of the problem, victims are more likely to report and the law-and-justice system takes it more seriously than in the past.

“It’s hit the community and it’s hit it hard,” she said.

that cannot be attributed to specific physical or psychological causes.

• Is always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen.

• Lacks adult supervision.

• Comes to school or other activities early, stays late, and does not want to go home.

• Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse (CADA) staff are working hard to end violence in our community through “Healthy Relationship” presentations

in the middle and high schools. We also have a trademarked “Hands and Words Should Not Hurt” program in the elementary schools. But we can’t do it alone. It takes the whole community to make a difference and our children deserve a life free of violence and fear.

Trust your “gut feeling” and act on it if you believe a child is being abused.

Parents, talk regularly with your children and let them know they can and should say

“NO!” to anyone who makes them feel uncomfortable.

For those who have suffered domestic or sexual abuse, or for family members of victims, CADA staff are here to help. We have a 24-hour crisis line, provide advocacy and support, court support and many other services. All of our services are free and confidential. Just call 675-2232 or 1-800-215-5669.

OBITUARY

Helen Louise Pedersen

While residing at Careage of Whidbey, Helen Louise Pedersen, 99, peacefully passed from this life into Heaven on May 11, 2012, surrounded by her loving family.

Helen was the third of five children born to Clara (Moyer) Kaylor and Frank Kaylor on March 29, 1913, in a Pennsylvania Dutch community in Naperville, Ill. Sisters Edna and Ruth, one brother, Frank, and daughter, Sharon Louise Pedersen, preceded her in death.

Helen is survived by her younger brother, Oliver Kaylor, residing in Chetek, Wis.; her children, Erlan (Lee) Pedersen (Mali) of Salem, Ore., and Harriet Berg (Robert) of Oak Harbor; five grandchildren, Jason Robert Berg of Salem, Bethany Rachelle Hopkins (Cameron) of Coupeville, Megan Louisa Rose (Justin) of Coupeville, and Jet Lee Pedersen and Jon KR Pedersen of Salem; and six great grandchildren, Isaac Robert Rose and Naosha Elli Rose of Coupeville, and Calysta Helen Berg, Isaiah Payne, Tyler Hoorn and Kyle Hoorn, all of Santa Cruz, Calif.; and her bosom buddy, Elayne Larsen of Oak Harbor.

Helen’s family moved to Barron County, Wis., to farm while she was a young child. While her two sisters were “little ladies” and never strayed from duties in the home, Helen most liked helping her dad in the barn and riding the family pony.

When her older sister, Edna,

caught scarlet fever, Helen volunteered to sleep with her and help care for her ... and never got sick herself.

After graduating from eighth grade, Helen declared herself done with school and later, at the ripe age of nearly 16, convinced her folks to let her move out and take a job at the Yellow Lodge, a restaurant and resort located a few miles from home and situated on Lake Chetek. While there, she learned to make amazing pie crust and berry pies that throughout her life she put together without aid of any recipe. She also tried smoking. After one cigarette, she thought she might like it and decided she better not take up the habit!

In October 1978, Helen moved to Oak Harbor to be nearer to her first two grandchildren, Jason and Bethany, and later arrival, Megan, and became the first resident of the Chelsee Apartments. She continued her lifelong passion of singing in a choir by joining the choir at First Reformed Church, Oak Harbor, which she continued to sing in until almost age 96.

Helen would do anything for her kids. She purchased her son, Lee, his first car (a Mustang) and he has been a muscle car collector ever since. She also purchased a photography course for Lee that led to his early career as a successful Army combat photographer. While living in Oak Harbor, Helen took great joy in babysitting her local grandchildren two days each week. They were showered with her loving care and wonderful cooking including many of those amazing pies.

She decided to “retire” from babysitting when she turned

Helen Louise Pedersen 75 and Megan had started first grade.

Helen possessed a cheerful, playful, loving heart that never counted the cost, withheld affection or doubted her eternal destination. Although Helen hated to read, she faithfully read her Bible every morning while enjoying coffee and toast. In the midst of coping with an abusive, troubled 23-year marriage, a life verse she shared with her then young daughter, Harriet, was Romans 8:28: “And we know all things work together for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose.”

A celebration of Helen’s life will be held at the First Reformed Church, Oak Harbor, on Monday, May 21, at 3 p.m. with the Rev. Jon Brown officiating. Memorial remembrances may be made to the First Reformed Church Choir Fund. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Burley Funeral Chapel where friends and family may go online at www.burleyfuneralchapel.com to sign the guest book and leave memories for the family.

Katharine Merle Drew

Katharine Merle Drew, 85, of Coupeville, died Saturday, May 12, 2012, in Shoreline, Wash. At her request no memorial service will be held but a special remembrance will be part of the 11 a.m. service Sunday, May 20 at the Coupeville United Methodist Church. All are welcome to attend.

Katharine was born on May 4, 1927, in Great Falls, Mont., to Linus and Cecile Carleton. She grew up on the wide open prairies of Montana and died as a proud Coupeville resident on the prairie lands of Ebey’s Landing.

As a child Kay loved to hunt and fish with her handsome father. Kay met her husband Lelan at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Ore., during their freshman year. She also spent two more years of college getting her teaching certificate in Billings, Mont. Kay went on to teach in White Sulpher Springs, Mont., and worked a year in the State Department of Education.

In 1950 she and Lee were married. In Seattle they raised four children. Kay was grateful that she could stay at home during these precious years. Her husband often worked two jobs and was a Seattle fireman for 25 years.

Kay’s joys were her children, camping, crafting, choir singing, baking and playing cards. She volunteered working in school libraries and teaching Sunday school.

She coordinated the building of an education wing at their Stanwood Methodist church, worked on interracial projects in Seattle, and was coordinator of the Ballard FISH help group.

Kay will be dearly remembered by all for her kind and generous heart, her robust love for music, for her incredible cooking abilities, and for her love of the natural world around her.

She was happiest when her large family was gathered around her table, eating foods she loved to prepare.

For decades, everywhere Kay and Lee lived, she was “the light of the neighbor-

the San Juan Islands gathered April 21 to provide more than 300 hours of service to the park, according to information provided by Deception Pass State Park.

They cleared brush from

Katharine Merle Drew hood,” bringing families together. She often met the school bus with fresh baked cookies for the Coupeville neighbor kids she loved. To Kay, music was a natural expression of her joy; and throughout her life she lent her voice to every duet, trio, sextet, chorus, and choir that needed a strong alto.

Her skills at card games, especially bridge, were legendary.

Kay loved photography and chronicled most every wildflower in the state.

Always proving that homemade gifts were the best and possessing a fine skill for crafts, she adorned cards sent to family and friends with beautiful pictures she had taken of mountain flowers.

Kay’s was a quiet, smiling, always kind spirit that those of us lucky enough to have been touched by her will miss. But that wonderful spirit will live on through the ones she loved.

Kay is survived by her husband Lelan Drew of Coupeville; her brother Linus Carleton and his wife Corliss of Tualatin, Ore.; her sister Trudi Peek of Poulsbo, Wash.; her sons Steve Drew and his wife Alison of McMinnville, Ore., Mike Drew and his wife Molly of Veradale, Wash., and David Drew and his wife Geri of Bothell; and her daughter Penny Hayes and her husband Jeff of East Wenatchee.

Kay leaves behind seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Memorials may be made to the Linus Carleton Scholarship Fund at the University of Montana in Missoula, or locally to the Coupeville United Methodist Church.

Linda Marie Long went to be with the Lord on May 2, 2012, after a long battle with cancer.

A memorial service will be held at the Assembly of God Church, located at 5373 Maxwelton Road in Langley, at 3 p.m. Saturday, May 19.

Child molester fails to meet court order

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 27-year-old registered sex offender who had trouble finding a place to live in Oak Harbor was sent to prison because he couldn’t comply with a court order to complete and pay for sex-offender treatment.

Christopher Miller pleaded guilty last year to rape of a child in the first degree. He confessed to sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl on multiple occasions while babysitting her, according to court documents.

Miller told police that he had been sexually assaulted as a teenager and wanted to get help for his problem.

Because Miller had no other criminal history, admitted to the crime and expressed a willingness to enter treatment, he was originally sentenced under the Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative, commonly known as a SSOSA. The sentencing alternative can be granted in lieu of a prison sentence under certain conditions, but requires some jail time, sex-offender treatment and supervision.

After serving a year in jail, Miller was released to find that his father’s trailer park wouldn’t allow him to

live with his father because of his registered sex offender status. A friend offered to let him stay at her apartment, but the apartment management refused to let him stay.

Miller found another friend to stay with in February, though the trailer park manager said it was temporary. He had to sleep on the floor of the trailer, which has a broken shower and a toilet that barely flushes.

Miller was unable to find a job, though he attended classes at Work Source and applied for services from the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Without a job, he wasn’t able to pay for the treatment he was ordered to receive.

As a result, the prosecutor’s office and the Department of Correction recommended that Miller’s SSOSA be revoked. Judge Alan Hancock agreed during a May 8 hearing.

That means Miller will have to serve the sentence which was suspended under the SSOSA, which was an indeterminate sentence of seven years and nine months to life in prison.

He’ll get credit for the year he already spent in jail. He will receive treatment in prison, if he’s willing.

3 qualify for state golf tournament

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Coupeville siblings Austin and Christine Fields and Oak Harbor’s Annie Leete each qualified for state golf tournaments this week.

In the 1A tri-district tournament at the Gold Mountain Golf Course in Bremerton Tuesday, Austin Fields finished fourth with a 78.

Orting’s Joe Harvie won with a 75.

The top 18 golfers in the 21-team field moved on to state at the Home Course in DuPont Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23.

Fields, a junior, improved four spots from his district finish (83) at the North Bellingham Golf Course May

10.

He also qualified for state last spring, finishing 37th.

Christine Fields, a freshman, placed seventh with a 91 at tri-district. Seattle Christian Academy’s Madisen Bently was medalist at 79. A week earlier, Fields was fourth at district with a 101.

Austin and Christine Fields, who are Coupeville’s only golfers, also earned firstteam, all-Cascade Conference honors.

Leete qualified for her second consecutive state golf tournament -- and this time she will play.

Last spring the Wildcat sophomore bypassed the state championship so she could attend her brother’s graduation ceremony at

the United States Naval Academy.

Leete shot a two-day total of 171 for third place at district at the Lake Padden Golf Course in Bellingham Tuesday and Wednesday.

Shorewood’s Cassie McKinley was the medalist with a 151 in the 12-team event.

Shorewood took the team title with a 516. Oak Harbor placed sixth with a 544.

For the Wildcats, Leete fired an 86 the first day, KC Winfield 109, Cassidy Gurich 113, Bree Roderos 115, Katie Brockway 121 and Hannah Crouse 138.

Gurich and Roderos just missed the cut of 112.

Leete carded an 84 the second round. Winfield shot 106 for a two-day mark of 215 and

placed 24th out of 65 golfers.

The best 15 scores at district picked up spots in the state 3A championships at the Esmeralda Golf Course in Spokane Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23.

All four members of the Oak Harbor High School boys golf team at Monday’s District 1 tournament at Everett’s Legion Golf Course failed to make the cut.

The top half of the 70 golfers from day one qualified for the second day; the cut was 90.

Caleb Knaack was the closest Wildcat at 92.

Hunter Adams shot 93, Elias Whitefoot 94 and Jake Nelson 98.

Ben Watanabe/South Whidbey Record

Coupeville’s Austin Fields, shooting above in a match earlier this spring, qualified for the state 1A championships.

‘Cats earn 3 state spots, looking for more NW Aquatic Club Josh Schrum, Cody Hernkind and Dominique Jackson grabbed slots in the state 3A track meet during the first day of the two-day District 1 meet in Oak Harbor Wednesday.

Finals were run in five boys and four girls events Wednesday in the 12-team meet. The remainder of the finals were last night; the results were not available at press time.

The top two in each event earned state berths.

Schrum out-kicked Shorecrest’s Carter Osborne to win the 1,600 in 4:17, the state’s eighth-best 3A time this spring.

Hernkind, who placed sixth in the long jump at the Wesco meet last week, added over a foot to his distance to claim second in 20-05.

Jackson finished third in the discus, but her toss of 121 feet bettered the automatic state qualifying mark of 120-03.5. She also placed sixth in the javelin (95-06).

It was a tough-luck day for a few Wildcats who placed third and missed state by one spot.

Chris Hailer jumped 6-0 in the high jump, the same height as the top two placers, but finished third by the tie-breaker of most misses.

James Harrison recorded a season-best 12-feet in the pole vault for third after placing ninth at league a week earlier. He had the same height as the second-place vaulter, but lost in a vault-off for the state berth.

Ciera Wiser was third in the javelin (106-10).

The Oak Harbor boys are in first after Wednesday’s events with 39 points, and the girls are fourth with 18.

Other Wildcat results in the Wednesday’s finals (the top eight score): Girls 1,600: 7, Marisa Sligh, 5:28.43; 8, Alex Laiblin, 5:28.48; 11, Jonalynn Horn,

5:40.38; 14, Hannah Bressler, 5:50.73.

Boys 1,600: 4, Matt Reith, 4:27.17; 9, John Rodeheffer, 4:43.6.

Boys high jump: 11, Sam Schultz, 5-02.

Boys pole vault: 12, Josh McVey, 10-6.

Boys shot put: 6, Jeremy Foster, 47-05.5; 8, Dayne Herron, 43-03.

Coupeville begins tri-district Two members of Coupeville’s track team competed in final events at the first day of

the tri-district track meet at King’s Woolsey Stadium Thursday.

Most of the day was dedicated to preliminaries for today’s finals at 11 a.m., but the finals for several events were held.

Grace LaPoint finished ninth in the javelin (94-06) and Nick Streubel was 12th in the discus (117-09).

The top five boys and the top six girls earn spots in the state 1A meet at Eastern Washington University in Cheney Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26.

wins pentathlon

Behind several record-setting performances, the North Whidbey Aquatic Club won its Triple Pentathlon over six other teams at John Vanderzicht Pool May 4 to 6.

The Aquajets rolled up 856 points, the Bainbridge Island Swim Club took second with 716 and the Penticton (B.C.) Kisu were third with 443.

NWAC was led by triple pentathlon winners Kelly Huffer (girls 11-12) and Laura Rosen (girls 15-and-over) and double-pentathlon winner Jerrin Concepcion (boys 9-10).

Death offers room to grow during life FAITHFUL LIVING

By Joan Bay Klope

The death of someone we know always reminds us that we are still alive---perhaps for some purpose which we ought to re-examine.

--Mignon McLaughlin, “The Neurotic’s Notebook.”

Last week, my high school classmates gathered to bid a very fond and love-filled farewell to our Gloria: a dedicated wife, mother of two young adults, a teacher and business owner. Filled with love and a truly beautiful laugh, she danced her way through life and toward her impending passing, gifting family and friends with an open heart and willingness to talk about hope and life and heaven.

At the very end she stopped talking, for the next adventure in her life required her full attention. During those few days her cancer’s ferocious attack took second stage to an enticing new life only she could see. Then, with the beauty of a graceful pirouette, she let go and moved into the arms of her parents, whom she had not felt in a long time.

While we are left to live without her for a time, we can be nothing but thrilled she is filled with life and love in the heaven she gratefully anticipated and talked about with enthusiasm.

With the realities of this life and heaven in the forefront of our minds, my husband and I met this week with our attorney to be certain our wills and directives are in order. We called our kids, talked about life and death issues, and updated them on our current thinking regarding such topics as medical intervention and burial. We told them who to contact and where to find the paperwork in the unlikely event we dance our way to heaven at the very same time. We reminded them of the importance of staying in loving contact with each other and at all times to foster good familial relationships.

As our own parents age and the mortal nature of this life becomes a more present issue, we have increasing awareness that you never know when life circumstances might require you to draw near family members at moments of stress and sadness. Those are not the times to do repair work. Those are the times to stand on strong foundations of love and trust and respect.

Our thoughts have not only touched on dying. They have also celebrated living this week! We have experienced a rush of ideas and a renewed energy for our own lives. With almost an urgency, we have been assembling a master list of goals and projects that we no longer want to ignore.

The temperatures are warming. The days are long. The beauty of our island is not hidden beneath gray skies. Feel the energy? It’s time to move! Time to live boldly, for time is a gift.

Author Denise Tanner once wrote, “Time is a very healing place, one in which you can grow.” If you have faced a recent heartache, take a moment and acknowledge it. Feel it.

Mourn it. Then look ahead at time and dare to allow its healing potential. It’s time to grow.

Poet laureate teaches how poetry equals humanity

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Poetry doesn’t have to be a seemingly never-ending series of rhyming verses that require college-level courses for comprehension. Instead, poets like Sam Green seek to use poetry to enhance literacy in students and give them something to relate to.

Green, a past Washington Poet Laureate, spent a week teaching English and creative writing classes at Oak Harbor High School as part of the Skagit River Poetry Project.

Green created the poet laureate position for Washington state and served for two years. He’s also been part of the Skagit River Poetry Project since its inception in 1998.

“The idea was to put poets, working poets, into the classroom and let them talk to students,” Green said. “Through poems, kids actually get to tackle things that are close to them.”

Green has been teaching students about poetry for 36 years. His 11th book came out this week.

As Green spoke to Chuck Smothermon’s creative writing class May 9, he engaged the students with humorous stories and examples of his poetry that students could relate to.

He compared the response he gets in America when he says he writes poetry for a living --- “But what do you really do?” --- to a trip to Ireland where he and a stranger ended up quoting poetry to each other for an hour. Poets are more revered in Ireland because in the past, they held the lore, stories and maps of the tribe in their heads, Green said.

Many Americans see poetry as frilly and poets as flaky, but the truth is, poets are just people who write poetry, Green said.

“I write poetry because that’s how I understand the world,” Green said.

He helped establish the poet laureate position to alleviate people’s misunderstandings of poets. Now, he travels to read poetry to many types of groups, from students to retirement centers, and chooses the types of poems

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

Ryan Delbrouck, an Oak Harbor High School student in Chuck Smothermon’s creative writing class, listens to Sam Green, former Washington Poet Laureate, speak about poetry and why it matters.

Celebrate poetry this weekend ●● The Skagit River Poetry Festival takes place this weekend in La Conner. ●● Poetry comes to life through discussions, workshops, music, readings and more. ●● For tickets and information, visit www.skagitriver poetry.org.

that will resonate most with the group. Poetry is about what people understand; poetry is about loss, love and what it means to be human.

“I love poems that are honest,” Green said.

For an event centered on cancer, Green wrote a poem about the ever-changing hope his mother had while she fought cancer.

“Sometimes, a poem will speak for us,” Green said, adding that the patients he read to could hand the poem to someone else as a way to put their experience into words when they can’t describe it.

Poetry also helps Green.

“I try to figure out my life

by translating those emotions into words,” Green said.

A poem about the meaning of teaching his son to hunt, despite having gotten rid of his guns after serving in the Vietnam War, not only helped him better understand his life, but is also an example of overcoming writer’s block, which Green absolutely doesn’t believe exists.

“That’s (writer’s block) just an excuse not to grapple with it,” Green said. He grappled with the hunting poem long and hard and finally chose a unique method of writing, with each line beginning in the next syllable of “do re mi.”

But the big idea Green wanted the students to come away with was revision.

“I love revision,” Green told them to say. In fact, he loves revision so much that he reworked his hunting poem more than 20 times, a number on the low end of the scale compared to his other poems. Green said he knows when he’s done revising a poem when he goes to revise it again and doesn’t know what else to do.

“I worked myself into that amazing place where I’m at the limits of my abilities,”

Green said.

And that’s what he wants the students to do. Even if they have three days to write a paper, Green said they need to do the best work they can, because if they start intentionally doing less than they can do, that habit will follow them for their entire lives.

Smothermon said these lessons about revisions were very important to himself and his students, and the idea that words matter.

“The students loved him,” Smothermon said.

Before becoming a teacher, Smothermon wrote for Better Homes and Gardens.

“I would say it’s at least as valuable as it is to me as it is to them, and inspiring. We all need to be inspired.”

This weekend is the Skagit River Poetry Festival in La Conner, an event that features everything poetic: slam poetry, cowboy poetry, scholarly poetry and more, as well as interviews with award-winning poets, discussions, workshops, readings and music. Green is one of the participating poets.

Playhouse seeks new logo AstheWhidbeyPlayhouse enters its 46th season, the Whidbey Playhouse Board of Directors decided it’s time for a new logo. Design a new logo for the Playhouse, win prizes and support the local theater.

The deadline for entries is Friday, June 1.

The purpose of this contest is to design a new logo for the Whidbey Playhouse.

The current logo is 46 years old and does not effectively “brand” the organization, organizers say. The official logo will be used online, in

print and on merchandise to represent the nonprofit community theater.

Flexibility is a key requirement; this includes both full color as well as black and white presentation and the ability to easily re-size the image. The logo will need to be suitable for high quality printing.

All entries must be in digital format and must be submitted to office@ whidbeyplayhouse.com.

The entry email must include the name, age, postal address, phone number and

email address of the entrant.

Put “Logo Contest Entry” as the subject of the email. No more than three entries may be submitted per person.

There is no entry fee.

The winning designer will receive a $200 cash prize, two season tickets to the Playhouse, recognition and a reciprocal link on the Playhouse website and the right to use the basic logo and identify himself or herself as the logo designer.

For the complete rules, visit whidbeyplayhouse.com or call 679-2237.

There are many ways to be part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters family It takes a “Big” and “Little” to make a Big Brothers Big Sisters match that changes a kid’s life forever. But it takes a village to make this service possible.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County is looking for volunteers to help with events, decorate trees for their Festival of Trees, serve as board members and more.

“We match hundreds of children each year with caring adults and I am lucky enough to see what a huge difference the relationships make in those kids’ lives.

Our Big Brothers and Big Sisters are among the most dedicated volunteers that I have ever come across. But it takes a lot of behind-thescenes work to make this program possible,” said Michaela Marx Wheatley, BBBS South Whidbey site director.

BBBS puts on a number of community events to raise money for their programs and the agency needs some volunteers who are willing to pitch in –- especially leading

up to their main fundraiser in early December, where decorated Christmas trees and wreaths are auctioned.

“For the past seven years, our tree decorators have done a fantastic job trimming our evergreen masterpieces for the auction,” Wheatley said. “Some longtime decorators will retire this year and we are looking for new talent.”

Decorators need to come up with a theme and find the decorations for their creation. They also need to be available the week after Thanksgiving to decorate their tree at the venue.

Longtime decorators and tree committee co-chair women Verna Lawsen and Barb Enberg are happy to share their expertise.

“It’s a fun and creative activity for a group of friends, a garden club or other organization and they could share the end result with the community,” Wheatley said.

Not a creative mastermind, but still love decorating trees? You could be a helper or apprentice and join

one of the team leaders.

BBBS also needs help with other aspects of the event, like serving on the auction committee, procuring auction items, or helping with set-up or tree delivery.

BBBS could use reliable office help, as well as people willing to serve on its board of directors. Other ways to get involved include being a mentor, donating auction items, sponsoring an event, making a donation or sharing a special skill with matches during a match activity.

If you want to get to know the organization, be part of one of its upcoming events.

Bowling teams will roll today, May 19, at the annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake in Oak Harbor. Nominate your pet for this year’s Mayor of Whidbey campaign, running from August to election day in early November. Or attend the Festival of Trees on Nov. 30 in Oak Harbor and Dec. 1 in South Whidbey.

To volunteer, contact 360-221-6808 ext. 5417 or mwheatley@sw.wednet.edu.

Cassidi Rosenkrance, Dalton Engle, James P. Ward and Zachary McCormick stand with Mike Dessert, president of the Coupeville Festival Association, as they receive scholarships for their hard work in education and volunteering.

Festival association awards scholarships The Coupeville Festival Association announced the winners of the 2012 scholarships. Each year, as part of giving back to the community, CFA awards $4,000 in scholarships to the students who have shown their worth in education and volunteering to the community.

In the past, four longtime volunteers were honored by having a $1,000 scholarship named in their honor and given to the student who lives in or goes to school in the 98239 zip code. This tradition continues.

This year’s recipients

were: Cassidi Rosenkrance, who earned the Del Bennett memorial scholarship; Dalton Engle, who earned the Ken Jampsa Memorial Scholarship; Zachar y McCormick, who earned the Linda Lee Martens Memorial Scholarship; and James P. Ward, who earned the Mary Jo Eisenmann Memorial Scholarship.

Each of these students was presented with a letter to take to their school for next year’s tuition.

After the presentation, a celebratory cake and mingle continued. The students got

to meet the volunteers, and the volunteers got to see where their hard earned proceeds went. It was a well received reception, and the students went home knowing that the CFA was proud to be giving them a monetary boost.

CFA President Mike Dessert presented the letters and had each student tell a little about themselves and what their plans are for the future. These students are going into computer science, kinesiology, environmental development and veterinary science.

ership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Certification of Silver. However, additional energy enhancement funding was made available to constr uct wind turbines and elevate the design to LEED® Gold. Proposed Action: Subsequent to publication of the Notice of Availability, the Navy determined that additional funding was available for energy enhancement projects such as residential-sized wind turbines that elevated the LEED® Certification to G o l d ve r s u s t h e p r o posed action of LEED® Cer tification of Silver.

The Gold alternative was evaluated in the EA and determined to have no significant impacts; however, the EA did not address potential impacts of wind turbines. The Navy analyzed the potential effects of the wind turbines and determined that they would not adversely affect the visual setting of the area because 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 infrastr ucture would be par tially obstructed by native vegetation left in place. Sound from wind turbine operation would be 40-45 dB, which is not anticipated to be heard over typical background noise. Informal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 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 minimal.
