attracting journalists, elected officials and dignitaries from all over the state, as well as a variety of local gawkers.

Madrona Way was closed from Highway 20 to Sherman Road for safety reasons, but scores of people parked along the bluff to witness the spectacle. Some watched with binoculars from lawn chairs while many others snapped photos for their personal scrapbooks.

One enterprising businessman, Captain Whidbey Inn owner Loyd Moore, set out a make-shift sign advertising his business and waterfront accessibility.

Among the elected officials present was District 10 Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano. She called the situation “ridiculous” and confirmed that she would be looking at legislation to help prevent such accidents in the future.

District 10 state Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and Rep. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, were also there as was Island County commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola.

Weather cooperating, today will be the derelict crab boat Deep Sea’s last day in Penn Cove.

Richard Walker, the on-scene coordinator with the state Department of Ecology, said Tuesday morning the boat was ready to be towed to dry dock in Seattle but that the forecast made it unsafe so authorities would make the attempt as soon as the weather breaks Wednesday.

“It’s possible it will be so early that it’s still dark,” Walker said.

“We’re working in a limited window

so as soon as the weather is good enough to tow we’ll start towing.”

The Deep Sea was raised from its resting place in about 60 feet of water just outside Penn Cove Shellfish’s mussel rafts Sunday afternoon. It sank three weeks before, May 13, after it caught fire and burned for nearly a day.

The 340-ton vessel was lifted from the depths by two massive cranes positioned on barges after more than a week of preparatory work by divers from the state’s hired contractor, Global Diving & Salvage Inc. The operation lasted most of the day and was a very public event,

A past member of the Aquajets swim team who was sexually assaulted by a former swim coach in the 1990s won a $1.5 million settlement from North Whidbey Park and Recreation District.

In addition, another alleged victim has filed a lawsuit and a third has hired an attorney.

“My sense is that other girls will be coming forward,” said Lincoln Beauregard, a Tacoma attorney who is representing the victims alongside lawyers Jay Krulewitch and Michael Kolker.

The women, who were young girls at the time of the abuse, claim they were sexually assaulted by Andrew “Andy” King in the 1990s.

King was the swim coach and the aquatics director at Oak Harbor’s John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, which is owned and operated by North Whidbey Park and Recreation District.

King is currently serving 40 years in a California prison after pleading no contest to 20 child molestation charges.

Detectives in San Jose uncovered during a 2009 investigation that King is a serial pedophile who’s raped and

Oak Harbor Public Market offers sweet treats, fresh produce

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

The smells wafting through the air Thursday afternoons in Oak Harbor are tantalizing, an easy indicator that farmers market season is in full swing in Island County.

This year marks the 18th year for the Oak Harbor Public Market, held from 4 to 7 p.m. every Thursday from May through September.

“We’re about on par for the first weeks of the season,” said market manager Peg Tennant. “It starts slow and ramps up, because that’s the way nature works.”

“I have been doing great,” said Jessica Fisher, who sells home baked goodies and food mixes at her booth. “This week is a little slower, but the last two weeks were really sunny, so we had a great turnout.”

Fisher, who uses her grandmother’s recipes to create her breads, rolls, scones and more, is carrying on a family tradition.

“My grandmother used to sell here,” she said.

However, due to changes in the rules governing home kitchens, Fisher, who has been a vendor at the Oak Harbor Public Market for three years, said this will be her last year selling her baked goods.

“If you like your home bakers, buy’em this year, because we don’t know what next year will bring,” said Tennant, adding that two home bakers have already pulled out of the market this year because of the upcoming rule changes.

The Sugar Queens, on the other hand, are just getting started with their confection business. Navy spouse Samantha Gates and her mother, Sheila O’Neill, were making their very first appearance at a farmers market last week, filling their booth with cookies, cupcakes, cake pops and other mouth-watering goodies.

“Since she was 14 this has always been her dream, to be a baker,” said O’Neill.

“This is our first day and our first market,” Gates said.

“It’s going good.”

It was also the first time at the Oak Harbor Public Market for Sakuma Bros., berry and tea growers from Burlington.

Their tables were filled with baskets of freshly-picked Albion strawberries, along with preserves and syrups.

“This is our first day here,” said Courtney Wells. “We did not expect it to be this busy.”

Chandler Hanson, 17, from Alabama, was in town visiting family. She was lured in by the free strawberry samples and said she quite liked Oak Harbor’s market.

“It’s fun,” she said. “There’s lots of people.”

Gretchen Hanson, also here visiting family, is from Arizona, where farmers markets are plentiful.

“I go every weekend in Arizona,” she said. “We have a lot of the same types of things, but we’re just getting out of our growing season and you are just coming into it.”

“We have what local farmers grow,” she said, adding that some shoppers come to the farmers market expecting the same produce available in grocery stores.

“We don’t have bananas,” Tennant said with a laugh.

“Because bananas don’t grow on Whidbey. It helps when people have an idea of what grows here and when it’s ready.

“The next wave will be the berries, then garlic, onions and potatoes,” she continued.

“Basically, ask your farmers when they’re going to have what —- they’ll be happy to tell you.”

The weather has also had an impact on the market.

“The berries are going to be later than what used to be normal,” Tennant said. “And I

would not hold my breath for Whidbey Island sweet corn this year. There’s been no sun. It’s gotta get hot.”

If necessary, Tennant said the market will bring in some produce from the other side of the mountains to add variety. And, as the growing season ramps up and more farmers bring their produce to the market, more craft and other vendors will be added to the mix. Tennant encourages people to shop the public market weekly, no matter what Mother Nature does.

“Remember, you won’t melt in the rain,” she laughed.

“We’re here rain or shine.”

GB Farm easement progresses

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

After nearly a year of negotiations, work to add more protection to a publicly owned farm may start to move forward.

Leaders from the Port of Coupeville are approaching Island County with a list of development rights that could be surrendered when a conservation easement at the Greenbank Farm is worked out. This comes on the heels of a recent meeting port commissioners held to sort out issues that have stalled talks on the conservation easement.

“I felt like there was a breakthrough, frankly,” said Laura Blankenship, a commissioner for the Port of Coupeville.

Port leaders want a conservation easement placed on the publicly owned farm to add another layer of protection for the agriculture, recreation and environmentally sensitive lands. Development could still be allowed on the farm’s commercial area. Port officials have tried to lobby the state in the past to fund construction of a new food processing facility.

The Board of Island County Commissioners in 2011 ear-

marked up to $400,000 worth of Conservation Futures Funds for a conservation easement. That money would be dispersed in $50,000 increments for eight years. The award was contingent on an appraisal of the value of the development rights surrendered by the port.

However, talks about the conservation easement stalled as a number of issues arose.

Island County wants a park and ride lot at the farm and wanted that to be worked into the conservation easement.

Jim Patton, executive director for the Port of Coupeville, said that a document designed to protect sensitive land shouldn’t include a lot that would appear in the farm’s commercial zone.

Port officials recently expressed concern about the zoning that applies to the farm because the port didn’t receive any compensation for the development rights that the port gave up when the farm was zoned as a special review district in 2002. A special review district basically outlines the development regulations for a property that doesn’t easily fit into any other zoning categories. In addi-

tion to the Greenbank Farm, the Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Studies, formerly known as the Au Sable Institute, is the only other property in Island County listed as a Special Review District.

Blankenship said that the conservation easement would include an option for the park and ride lot, which is currently written into the farm’s current special review district. She said the port would be willing to also give up development rights to two strips of land that bookend Wonn Road.

Port commissioners weren’t unanimous in deciding to move forward with the easement.

Commissioners Blankenship and Benye Weber want the conservation easement on the farm, while Marshall Bronson was opposed to it.

The Port has budgeted $6,000 to help pay for its share of the appraisal, which has to be ordered by the county.

Once that appraisal is complete, then they will have a dollar amount known so negotiations on the conservation easement can begin. The port spends most of its revenue supporting the farm and has been looking for another funding source.

Oak Harbor man sought for burglary The Island County Sheriff’s Office is searching for an Oak Harbor man in connection with a burglary that took place at Ebey Bowl Memorial Day. The Sheriff’s Office announced Monday afternoon it has probable cause to arrest Jason Bowen, a 33-year-old man described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds and sporting a shaved head

and a goatee.

The suspect may be driving a 1969 Chevy pickup truck with a license plate number B30204D, according to information provided by the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

On the evening of May 28, a man jimmied the back door of Ebey Bowl, which is located near Coupeville Middle and High School on Terry Road

just outside Coupeville town limits. The burglar stole beer, liquor, candy, laptop computer and several hundred dollars.

Anyone with any information regarding the whereabouts of Bowen is asked to contact the Island County Sheriff’s Office via the ICOM dispatch center at 360-679-9567 or by email at tips@co.island.wa.us.

Ron Nelson, executive director of the Island County Economic Development Council, talks about improving broadband availability on Whidbey and Camano islands.

EDC looks to better broadband

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The Island County Council of Governments has agreed to help fund a small portion of a proposed study that aims to improve broadband availability on Whidbey and Camano islands.

During its monthly meeting in Coupeville May 23, the council agreed to sign a letter of support and pledged $5,000 for the study, which could begin as soon as July 1 and take up to a year to complete.

The study is contingent on the award of a $50,000 state Department of Commerce grant from the Washington State Broadband Office, and is being pursued jointly by the Island County Economic Development Council and Island County Washington State University Extension Office.

Ron Nelson, executive director of the economic development council, said the study would build on a 2010 broadband survey the state conducted for all of

Honoring those who Served.

Washington.

The survey resulted in a map of coverage areas but its accuracy in Island County is questionable. It showed better coverage than may be the reality, said Nelson, as there are still places on the island where residents can only receive 9.6 dial up service.

“Impossible, you can’t do your online banking, you can’t do any good Internet surfing, there is just no speed there,” Nelson said.

Determining what is available, where and what people need will be primary objectives of the study.

It will also seek to identify how best to use the data, such as assisting in the planning of future telecommunications infrastructure, while also helping the county build its economy with the attraction of new businesses.

Nelson said broadband service can also be a quality of life issue, saying that studies have linked connectivity with family and friends as essential to the mental health of seniors citizens.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who initially proposed the idea to Nelson, said WSU Extension and other organizations offering online education also have a vested interest. The county also is trying to better utilize its own web pages to inform the public about the goings on of government.

“If we don’t look for those folks in our community that don’t have that access, we’re doing a huge disservice,” Price Johnson said.

It didn’t take much convincing. Coupeville Port Commissioner Benye Weber said she was “totally supportive” of the effort while Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick called it a “tiny investment for the potential benefit.”

If the grant is awarded, Nelson said the study will be largely conducted by WSU Extension. The group will use a survey and focus groups to achieve its objectives and the results will be release in 2013.

How to protect your children from predators

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

During a special community meeting last Thursday night, four of the people who deal directly with sex offenders and their victims on Whidbey Island inundated an audience with tips for keeping children safe, identifying kids who may have been victimized and recognizing predators.

The panel discussion was sponsored by the Island County Sheriff’s Office and the new Oak Harbor Youth Commission. It was in response to community concerns about an unusual number of serious and high-profile cases involving alleged predators and sexual assaults on the island.

Detective Laura Price, who investigates sex crimes for the sheriff’s office, summed up the central message: “Just know your child. Pay attention to your child and the people in your child’s life. If something’s not right, you will notice.”

In addition to Price, the panel consisted of Lisa Lee, a Department of Corrections officer who supervises sex offenders and others; Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner, a supervisor and sex-crime investigator with the Oak Harbor police; and Margie Porter, the executive director of Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Assault.

Sheriff Mark Brown, who organized the presentation, said afterward that he was a little disappointed only about 40 people showed up for the discussion at North Whidbey

lawsuit CONTINUED FROM A1 molested dozens of girls while coaching swimming over a 30-year career.

In Oak Harbor, King started molesting a promising young swimmer in 1994, when the girl was just 12 years old. The abuse continued until 1997, when King mysteriously disappeared right before the

Middle School in Oak Harbor. He said the initial shock in the community about the multiple cases may have worn off, but he hopes people will continue being vigilant without being paranoid.

“I hope you all understand just how complex this issue is,” he told the audience.

Brown and Lee spoke about registered sex offenders in the community. Brown said his office is responsible for monitoring the approximately 100 registered sex offenders in the county. Five are identified as Level 3, which means they are considered to be at the highest risk of reoffending.

Lee explained that community corrections officers have broad powers to supervise sex offenders and other criminals in their charge.

They are spread thin, she said, but effective.

“The ones that aren’t caught are the ones we need to watch out for,” she said.

In her presentation, Price focused on describing sexual predator behavior, but started with a shocking statistic from the FBI. “One in five girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually exploited by the time they reach 18,” she said.

“Those are huge numbers.”

Price described how sexual predators “groom” children patiently over time.

“Child sexual predators are very astute at identifying the vulnerability of a child,” she said.

She said predators may target children with low self-esteem, those

The predators convince their victims that the abuse is their fault and they will get in trouble if they tell anyone.

Krulewitch said the police, the prosecutors and officials at the park district “missed the boat” by not doing anything, despite obvious signs.

sometimes the best they can do is focus on keeping the children around them safe.

“There’s no magic fairy dust you can sprinkle out there and they will all turn purple,” she said, referring to pedophiles.

Porter spoke about the many warning signs that a child may have been abused. Some of the signs, she said, may include unusual changes in behavior, nightmares, trouble walking or sitting, and inappropriate knowledge or interest in sexual activities.

Porter also discussed how to

King was “a master manipulator” who convinced everyone that the victim was a bad girl and shouldn’t be believed, Krulewitch said.

“She was courageous for coming forward in 2000 and she was courageous in bringing the lawsuit,” he said. “The settlement was really a vindication for her and all the girls he abused in Oak Harbor and elsewhere.”

It’s unclear how the lawsuits will affect the finances of the district, which is insured

by Enduris. Harvey Prosser, a longtime elected commission for the district, was reached by phone Tuesday, but would not discuss whether taxpayer

funds will be used in the settlement.

“I think it’s confidential and I’m not going to tell you, so cross me off your list,” he said before hanging up.

The attorney for the park district and a spokesperson for the insurance company did not return calls for comment.

Krulewitch said the district was liable for the damages because officials “knew or should have known” that the abuse was occurring. Not only were signs ignored, he said, but the district didn’t do a responsible background check before “jumping” to hire King, an experienced

broach the subject matter with children.

“The message for you is keep talking to your children and don’t let them think their body parts are bad things,” she said.

Finally, Gardner focused on what to do if you suspect that a child may have been sexually assaulted.

She explained that she and Porter are trained child forensic interview experts and are focused on gently getting information from children without suggesting anything to them in order to preserve a criminal case.

First of all, Gardner said, remain calm. Avoid leading questions. Ask general questions, like “Has anyone touched you in a way you didn’t like or made you do something you didn’t like?” Control your expression. Reassure the child that disclosure is the right thing to do and she or he won’t get in trouble.

Gardner stressed that any questioning should be limited to getting the information needed to keep the child safe. She said law enforcement should be called in to handle the investigation and ask in-depth questions. And don’t contact the alleged perpetrator.

“Your role is to listen, not to investigate,” she said. “You don’t need to know the entire story. … Get what you need to be able to turn it over to us.”

“We believe that if they looked into his background, they never would have brought him to Oak Harbor,” he said, referring to allegations that King had molested at least one girl before coming to Oak Harbor.

In addition, Krulewitch said King had virtually no supervision after he became both the swim coach and the aquatics director.

“It was the perfect system for a master manipulator and serial pedophile,” he said.

The woman’s lawsuit against North Whidbey Park and Recreation was filed in King County Superior Court last year. The lawsuit originally asked for $15 million in damages. The second alleged victim filed a complaint in March and additional lawsuits may be on the way.

Beauregard said his client still struggles with the effects of the abuse, but has a successful career in the insurance industry and is working on an MBA. “She’s doing well,” he said.

“She’s a fighter.”

Bath salts linked to bizarre Camano crime Island Scanner

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The bizarre and gruesome case of a naked man who ate the face off of a homeless man in Miami this month has led to speculations that the attacker was high on a designer street drug known as “bath salts.”

The use of the synthetic stimulant, which causes hallucinations, has been linked to murders, suicides and deaths from overdoses nationwide. Fort Lewis soldier David Stewart was high on bath salts when he shot and killed his girlfriend and himself in April of 2011.

His 5-year-old son was found murdered at home, asphyxiated with a plastic bag.

While detectives say they aren’t concerned about a big problem with bath salts in Island County, use of the banned substance may have been the cause of a sad and violent case on Camano Island.

Detective Carl Seim with the Oak Harbor Police Department said he hasn’t had any cases involving bath salts, though he heard that Naval Criminal Investigative Service has investigated a couple of bath-salt-related cases on Whidbey that involved sailors. He conducted a sting operation of smoke shops and other retailers to see if they were selling bath salts or synthetic marijuana, but came up empty.

“You can still get them online,” he said. “That’s where the problem lies.”

Seim explained that the drug was sold as “bath salts” in order to escape the notice of the law. The packages state that they’re “not for human consumption” to get around the Food and Drug Administration.

The federal government last fall banned three chemicals commonly used

to make bath salts: mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone. Possession or sale of these synthetic stimulants could result in federal drug charges.

In addition, at least 38 states have enacted bathsalt bans that cover other chemicals as well, Reuters reported.

Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said he’s only aware of one case that his department has dealt with.

Levon Rooney, a 28-yearold Camano Island resident, attacked his mother last December while he was delusional from snorting bath salts.

In a completely unprovoked assault, Rooney hit her in the back of the neck with a large flashlight. After telling her he was sorry that he had to kill her, Rooney choked his mother until she lost consciousness. She woke up feeling disoriented.

When Rooney saw her moving again, he told her, “Mom I’m sorry you’ve got to die.

I’ve got to kill you,” according to a deputy’s report on the incident. Rooney tried to choke his mother again, but she kneed him and ran for help.

Rooney was arrested and charged in Island County Superior Court with attempted murder.

In letters to the court,

“You can still get them online. That’s where the problem lies.”

Det. Carl Seim, Oak Harbor Police Department

Rooney’s family members describe him as a gentle, non-violent man who loved his mother deeply, but had a nearly lifelong problem with substance abuse. He was never threatening or dangerous until he started using bath salts last summer and ended up in a psychiatric unit of a hospital.

“He was devoid of all normal character and personality, and was completely consumed by fear of attack by various malevolent forces,” his brother wrote in a letter to the court.

Rooney’s father explained in a letter how his son had helped save his mother’s life when he was younger. After his parents got divorced, Rooney and a brother lived with their mother when she moved in with an alcoholic, erratic Camano Island man.

The situation was so bad that his brother left to live with his dad, but Rooney was too worried about his mother to leave.

He eventually convinced her to leave with him. A few days later, the man got

drunk and set the house ablaze with himself and the animals inside.

Rooney’s family believes that Rooney was in the midst of a bath-salt-induced delusion when he attacked his mother and thought he was saving her from a fate worse than death. His mother and entire family were adamantly opposed to the attempted murder charge or a long prison sentence.

“My feelings of grief and anger over what he has done are deeper than anything I have ever felt,” his brother wrote. “However, through this profound pain and sadness, I have never for a moment felt that my brother is a bad person or an evil person. He is a deeply troubled person. He needs help.”

Rooney pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court May 9 to three counts of assault in the second degree. Judge Alan Hancock agreed with the sentence recommendation and sent him to prison for a year and eight months.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said Rooney’s support from his family was a major factor in the plea bargain.

“He plead to everything that would have made sense to charge him with if he hadn’t said he was going to kill her,” Ohme said.

IN OUR OPINION

Personnel is out of control The latest personnel change at Oak Harbor City Hall under new Mayor Scott Dudley adds additional unnecessary costs for the taxpayers and increases worries about the judgment of our new head of government.

City Attorney Bill Hawkins’ stint was short-lived, as he was fired last week after spending only a few months on the job after Dudley put firing Margery Hite, the former city attorney, near the top of his “to do” list when he took office in January.

Hawkins’ dismissal will cost the city six months of severance pay and some vacation pay. Previous dismissals of Hite, Fire Chief Mark Soptich and City Administrator Paul Schmidt have cost the city an estimated $500,000 in severance packages. City Engineer Eric Johnston hired an attorney to send a warning letter to the mayor that if he has any ideas about firing Johnston, the city can expect legal action. Police Chief Rick Wallace, who is being forced to retire by the mayor, has threatened to sue the city if Dudley follows through with the forced retirement.

It’s OK for a new mayor to choose his own “team” of department heads when he or she takes office, but with the firing of Hawkins, Dudley is now eating his own.

Hawkins made a telling comment for someone so sensitive of attorney/client privilege, indicating he gave advice the mayor did not want to hear. “If this mayor wants to fire me because I did my job, I will wear that proudly as a badge of honor,” Hawkins said.

Because personnel discussions and decisions can be made in private, it’s hard for the public to understand what’s going on. But when the mayor fires someone of the stature of Bill Hawkins, the warning lights switch over to flashing emergency lights with sirens blaring. As a former elected county prosecutor and private attorney with an extensive background in both civil and criminal law, he has earned the public’s respect. When he’s fired, we know we have a serious problem.

All this furor over personnel changes has dispirited other city employees and leaves the taxpayers on the hook for many thousands of dollars that could have been used to fill potholes or help fill the gap left by declining sales tax revenues. The mayor is a runaway train when it comes to personnel, and it’s up to the City Council to do what it can to stop him.

Letters to the editor Haugen may be in Vulcan’s pocket

A recent letter to the editor expressed concern regarding State Rep. Barbara Bailey’s membership in, and support from, a radically conservative organization called ALEC. There is good reason for concern, but in fairness, readers should also be aware that one of State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen’’s bigger 2012 campaign contributions came from Vulcan, Inc., whose CEO Paul Allen is best known for his personal extravagance.

Allen also donated at least $100,000 to defeat I-1098, the 2010 state income tax initiative. Maybe his support for Sen. Haugen is a reason for her tepid, if not nonexistent, support for state tax reform.

She seems to favor more taxes and fees like the ones we already pay instead of one tax that could replace all of the taxes and fees we now pay and would also transfer a significant part of the burden

to people like Paul Allen.

Says she, “What you suggest would require a constitutional amendment, and that’s hard to do.” At this moment, a constitutional amendment (SJR 8223) is being evaluated by the Secretary of State that would allow WSU and UW to invest their revenues in stocks and bonds. The vote in the Senate was 45 to 2 in favor, with Sen. Haugen voting yea. In the House, the vote was 93 to 4 in favor, with both of our state representatives voting yea. This bill has received scant coverage in the media. So much for transparency.

Here’’s a question for Sen. Haugen and both of our representatives: Why do you favor a constitutional amendment that would allow our state-supported universities to gamble with the revenue they get from taxes and donations instead of an amendment that would raise additional revenue directly from rich citizens like Paul Allen?

Keep Emerson working alone The last time I saw Angie Homola and Kelly Emerson together was at a recent county commissioners meeting.

Ms. Homola, a Democrat, announced that she had received the “Bookend Award” of the Washington State Association of Counties for exemplifying bipartisan efforts on the legislative committee. (The other “bookend” was a Republican from Lewis County.) Ms. Emerson also had an announcement to make. She had recently claimed that Island County had sent a number of employees on a junket to Las Vegas, but she now announced that the number of employees so sent was zero.

Commissioners Angie Homola and Helen Price Johnson are up for reelection this year. Both have worked very hard during these poor economic times and have reduced the county budget they control by an

astonishing 25 percent. Ms. Emerson, who is not up for reelection for another two years, has concentrated on the kind of fact-free bomb throwing exemplified by the false Las Vegas junket accusation. She says she wants us to replace Homola and Price-Johnson with someone she can “work with.”

Suppose you had to reduce your household’s expenditures by 25 percent.

Who would you like to work with? Would you prefer Angie Homola, recognized by her peers for being able to develop realistic proposals with people of differing points of view? Or would you prefer Kelly Emerson, who might scream that you’d have enough money if you didn’t take trips to Vegas which you never took?

Heaven help Island County if either Homola or Price Johnson is replaced with someone who “works with” Ms. Emerson!

Workers lay down absorbent pads to soak up diesel fuel from the Deep Sea as it sits in its slings after being raised Sunday. The 128-foot crab boat sank in Penn Cove three weeks ago.

Captain Whidbey Inn owner Loyd Moore takes advantage of the event with a makeshift promotional sign.

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Coupeville resident David Svien sits with Jack and Char Sell on the bluff overlooking Penn Cove. Like many people, they were watching the raising of the Deep Sea.

state Department of Natural Resources was also in attendance. During interviews with reporters, he defended the agency by saying it wasn’t to blame for the unexpected sinking.

He said the vessel was private property and that the state didn’t have the authority to simply remove it despite the fact that it had been anchored in Penn Cove for months longer than the 30 days allowed under state law.

He also said the Deep Sea was inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard while it was in Penn Cove and found to be safe.

“It was not visibly in danger of sinking,” said Goldmark, adding that it foundered because of the fire.

He called it a “unique situation” and said it could have been better managed or even avoided entirely with additional authority and funding from the state Legislature.

The actual operation to lift the vessel began at about 9:30 a.m. By 1:30 p.m., the entire deck was visible above the water and crews began “dewatering” the boat with pumps a short time later.

According to Walker, inspections after the vessel was raised showed that it was able to float on its own so it was removed from the slings Monday. The ship’s fuel tanks were also found to be empty, he said.

However, he did confirm that diesel fuel that was trapped in other areas of the boat did escape during the

hoisting. And although oil sheen was seen throughout the mussel rafts, he said it was a very small amount.

“The substantial threat of an oil spill is over,” Walker said.

He and a team actually boarded the charred vessel Monday afternoon. Walker said it was evident that fire burned throughout the vessel though less so in the forepeak.

“The engine room and the superstructure were severely damaged by fire,” he said.

Walker said no bodies were recovered during the effort nor was there any sign of anyone living aboard, though he said any traces likely would have been wiped out by the fire.

Capt. Scott Ferguson, commander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound, was present and said he was happy with how the operation went but voiced disappointment that it was needed in the first place.

The Port of Seattle sold the vessel to Renton scrap dealer Rory Westmoreland for $2,500 in November. Westmoreland had no insurance and has not been able to pay for the clean up or raising, which is expected to cost at least $2.3 million.

“To sell it to someone who doesn’t have the means to take care of it is, in my mind, negligent,” Ferguson said.

“People who own boats need to be responsible for them because it can cost taxpayers in the end,” he said.

Since the Deep Sea sank, approximately 5,045 gallons of diesel fuel was recovered directly from the vessel’s tanks and on the surface with absorbent pads and skimming

boats.

The leakage resulted in the closure of shellfish harvesting in Penn Cove by the state Department of Health on May 15. Mark Toy, an environmental engineer with the agency, said Tuesday that toxicity testing has already been completed and shellfish are once again safe to eat.

The lowest tide of the year occurred yesterday and recreational clam diggers were getting anxious. However, a sensory panel from the federal National Oceanic and Atmospherical Administration must give the OK before the fishery can be reopened.

“They are testing for taint,” Toy said, which he defined as the smell or taste of petroleum.

The testing was supposed to occur Tuesday morning with a decision made later in the afternoon. The results were not tallied by press time and could not be reported, but Penn Cove Shellfish owner Ian Jefferds said he was optimistic that the mussel fishery would be open by Wednesday.

“They are going to be fine, it’s just part of the process,” Jefferds said.

His confidence was in part due to the fact that he did some personal taste testing last week.

“We couldn’t taste anything so we cooked them up and had them for lunch,” he said.

Opening the fishery will be good news for the Coupevillebased company. While their farm in Quilcene has helped mitigate the financial impacts of the three-week shutdown, it’s still been costly and he has yet to sit down and tally the total damage.

Gordon C. Piercy, Jr.

After 17 years of courageously battling metastatic prostate cancer, Gordon C. Piercy, Jr., aka “Don” or “Speeder Don” or “Marketing Don,” lost the war on Friday, May 25, 2012, at 67 years young.

Born Nov. 23, 1944 (or “1-1-2-3-4-4,” as he liked to say), in Takoma Park, Md., he lived most of his younger years in nearby Silver Spring. After graduating from Northwood High, he attended Syracuse University in upstate New York, graduating in 1966 with a BS in Marketing Management. He also crewed freshman year for Syracuse, following in the footsteps of his father who was a national crew champion for Columbia.

Don worked at Suburban Bank & Trust during college as a teller, and moved to full time employment with Chemical Bank in New York City upon graduation. While working, he continued his education at Pace University, N.Y., and in 1973 received his MBA in Marketing Management, where his thesis, “Marketing the Automated Banking Equipment Service” (ATMs), outlined his successful marketing of the first ever ATM. This brought him offers of employment from 17 different banks nationwide, from which he chose Seattle-First National Bank.

His career in Bank Marketing in the Seattle/ Tacoma area spanned 24 years and five major banks, with a brief time from 197476 in San Francisco for VISA U.S.A., where he was instrumental in developing and marketing the first national debit card. During his time with Puget Sound Bank in Tacoma, he won many awards for his marketing strategy and advertising, and was most proud of his development of the Puget Sound Fund, through which each customer transaction at the

bank’s ATMs generated a contribution from the bank to a fund dedicated to cleaning up Puget Sound.

Don also immersed himself in the boards of the Tacoma/Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, Seattle Adver tising Federation, Seattle Aquarium Society, Pete Gross House, Marketing Communications Executives International (Seattle Chapter), American Marketing Association (Puget Sound Chapter), and the Bank Marketing Association (National Board Member).

After weathering another major bank buyout, Don and his family moved to Whidbey Island and he took the position of Senior Vice President and Marketing Director at InterWest Savings Bank. He happily plunged into involvement with our island community and very quickly became an integral part of it. Don was always quick to help those in need and support the community – from day-to-day acts such as rescuing stray cats and neglected horses and towing neighbors out of the snow, to his long-term volunteer roles, including with the Central Whidbey Lions, United Way of Island County, Island County Economic Development Board, Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce, Sky Meadows Community Association ACC, Whidbey General Hospital Foundation, and Skagit Valley Community College, where he was just re-appointed to a second 5-year term as a trustee.

Don helped InterWest through growing pains, break into new markets, launch the “Ready, Set, Goals” literacy program with the SeaHawks, weather a change in management, and a name change to Pacific Northwest Bank, and when Wells Fargo successfully purchased the bank in 2004, Don chose to stay on Whidbey and retire.

Never idle, Don became certified to teach Marketing and Corporate Finance for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and enjoyed passing along his passion for Marketing to his students.

Don had a quick wit, loved bad jokes, great stories, puns, and trivia. He was a man of ideas and a problem solver: he always had a positive solution to the issues on his mind, and made sure to see those solutions through to their implementation.

Don was an absolute “people person” and would talk to – and make friends with – any type of person in any and every situation. He had a great zest for life, and was

always on the go with a plan, a project, a to-do list of people to see, things to do. Don was diagnosed with cancer shortly after moving to Whidbey, and even after his diagnosis, every day of his life was full with family, work, volunteering, or his passion for railcars (“speeders”). He had covered thousands of miles in his speeders on the rails in the U.S. and Canada -- including to the Arctic Circle! He had only recently completed installation of the final loop of his own railroad at his home.

Don was known for his multitude of railroad tales.

Don was preceded in death by his sister, Tobey Lynne Milne. He is survived by his former wife, Susan Eby of Seattle and their two children, Elizabeth Anne Piercy (Erin Gilbert) of Seattle, and Kenneth Charles Piercy (Jennah Kriebel) of Geneva, Switzerland, and their child (his only grandchild), Eleanor Marguerite Kriebel-Piercy; and by his wife of 27 years, Roberta Margaret Walton Piercy of Coupeville, and their two children Virginia Walton Piercy and Zachary Taylor Walton Piercy.

If you are inspired by Don’s commitment to our community or his courageous battle with cancer, and wish to make a remembrance on his behalf, please consider the following organizations: Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Prostate Cancer Research/ Dr. Celestia Higano; Whidbey General Hospital Foundation, MAC Clinic/EMS/Home Health & Hospice Svcs; Central Whidbey Lions; and Skagit Valley Community College Foundation.

We would love to receive and share any anecdotes, stories or pictures you may have of Don – just email them to 892fleagin@tumblr. com and they will post to 1000storiesofgordoncpiercy. com, where everyone can enjoy them.

Don loved and was loved by his family, friends, and his animals, and was a dedicated and supporting father and husband. He will be dearly missed by all of those who were fortunate enough to know him. We invite Don’s family and friends, colleagues and students, railroad buddies, Lions and neighbors to help us remember his life at services Saturday, June 9, at 1 p.m. at the Coupeville United Methodist Church. A celebration will follow at the Piercy home. Private interment will be made by his family at Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville.

Due to federal rule changes regarding the food service program, the Oak Harbor School District is required to put the food service contract out to bid again before the start of the next school year.

Rule changes by the USDA require students to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole wheat, all of which are more expensive, said Superintendent Rick Schulte.

“They decided that was a material change to the contract,” Schulte said, so the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction issued a ruling that schools must put their contracts out to bid

Basketball coach Anthony Smith said Mitch Pelroy, above, “wanted to win every time he stepped on the court.”

Rosenkrance said her father put a basketball in her hands when she was 3 and coached her through middle school, and her mother was her biggest critic and fan, never missing a game.

Engle and Pelroy also pointed out the influence of football coach Silver. Pelroy said, “Coach Silver brought everything together -- a cohesive unit. The brotherhood we had in football was really cool.”

Engle said playing for Coupeville helped him become part of something bigger than himself: “It was a mixture of people, views and lifestyles. I got to know my teammates whether they were ninth graders or seniors.”

Pelroy said he enjoyed getting to know “the other side” of teammates he didn’t socialize with outside of sports.

Rosenkrance said she will most remember defeating rival King’s twice in basketball her junior year. She also liked the togetherness of the soccer team: “It’s not my favorite sport and they were not my closest friends, but on the field nothing else mattered but the team.”

The camp is open to boys of all skill levels who will enter the third through the eighth grades next fall.

Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The fee is $45.

Registration forms can be picked up at both 7/Eleven stores, Big 5 and Island Pet Center.

Bayne tosses 3 hitter Josh Bayne made his debut as a starting pitcher a memorable one, throwing a three-hit shutout to lead the Coupeville Legion A baseball team to a 4-0 win over visiting Burlington Monday.

The win evened the Merchants’ record a 2-2. Coupeville goes to Burlington at 6 p.m. Wednesday,

June 6, and then hosts Mount Vernon at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Bayne pitched no-hit ball the final four innings and was aided by a strong defense which turned three double plays.

Burlington loaded the bases with no outs in the third. Bayne induced the No. 3 hitter into a third-to-home-to-first double play and then got the cleanup hitter on a grounder to escape the rally.

Coupeville broke open the scoreless game with three runs in the fourth. A walk, error, an RBI single by Morgan Payne and an RBI groundout by Aaron Trumbull highlighted the inning.

In the sixth, Wade Schaef singled, stole second and scored on Trumbull’s base hit.

Kurtis Smith finished 2-for-3 with a triple.

Wednesday, June 6, 2012 • Whidbey News Times

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

No one sees it coming. But when the big word “cancer” enters a life, everything changes. For Whidbey Island, the one good change is the community support of Relay for Life of Whidbey.

More than 1,030 people participated in Relay for Life, plus walkers who weren’t part of teams. So far, they’ve raised more than $180,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Fundraising continues through August.

Dave Thompson, 46, of Oak Harbor, attended Relay for Life for the first time Friday, June 1.

“I thought I would just show up and make that Survivor Lap and show my honor to those who are out here supporting us,” Thompson said.

In October, he was told he has multiple myeloma, cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow. It dissolves the bones, and the dissolution of one of his vertebra caused the fracture that alerted Thompson’s doctors. He’d been having severe back pain for two months before the fracture, but when doctors examined him they found tumors too.

When he found out he had cancer, Thompson’s reaction was “wow.”

“All the other crap, the emotions that came with it came later. It was a ‘wow’ experience. Maybe someday I’ll sit back and put more words to it than ‘wow,’” Thompson said.

Thompson said he got the “free” helicopter ride to Harborview Medical Center, “where they bolted me back together and then I started all that great chemo treatment.”

While his doctors say he’s almost in remission, they will harvest stem cells from him just in case.

“It’s just a one day at a time thing anyways,” Thompson said.

“It’s sobering, gratifying, remorseful and back to that word ‘wow.’ All you have to do is hang out in any

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

Survivors Ryan Neal and Sue Karahalios lead the Survivor Lap, opening the Relay for Life for walkers and runners raising money and hope to fight cancer. cancer treatment agency and see the miracles and the sorrows of those people afflicted. It’s been a hell of a ride. Would I have liked to miss it?

Sure. But at the same time, it’s life and you live life,” Thompson said.

The real celebration, Thompson said, should be about the “unsung heroes” who help him cope.

“It all kind of happened so fast I guess I was awestruck by the love that flowed into my hospital room,” Thompson said. It was the love of his wife, Anne, and two daughters, as well as family, friends, church friends, co-workers and the care of his nurses and doctors that pulled him through; “the people that are fighting the battle for us,” Thompson said.

Thompson’s friend, Michael Neuhauser, 28, joined him for the Survivor Lap. “I call him an inspiration for me.

He helps me through a lot of stuff,” Neuhauser said of Thompson.

Earlier this year, he was diagnosed

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

Michael Neuhauser and Dave Thompson walk the Survivor Lap at Relay for Life. Neuhauser was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this year and Thompson is battling multiple myeloma.

with lymphoma, a cancer of immune system cells.

When he was diagnosed, his biggest worry was about insurance covering the myriad of costs.

“I personally think money shouldn’t be an issue with human life,” he said.

What surprised him about the experience so far is the openness of cancer survivors to share their experiences.

“You say ‘cancer’ and people open up,” Neuhauser said. “Look, you’ve got people walking in pouring down rain. They’re willing to help you.”

Walkers around the track at North Whidbey Middle School were quickly soaked as the rain started just before the Survivor Lap. That didn’t stop survivors and community members alike from walking to raise money for the cure and to spread hope.

Peggy Swart, of Greenbank, has been coming to Relay for Life for 12 years, since she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and her stomach was removed.

“How lucky we are to be on an island with so many people that care about others. It’s neighbors helping neighbors,” Swart said.

Off-island, Swart said she doesn’t hear about doctors who care more about getting patients well than being paid.

“It’s that small town; you’re raised with your neighbors as your family.

With the island, it’s a more extended family,” Swart said.

One of Swart’s favorite parts about the Relay for Life is seeing the children join in.

“That’s when they start learning early to give back and that what goes around comes around,” Swart said.

One youth group involved in Relay for Life was Rainbow for Girls.

Teenager Rebecca Robinson captained the team that raised $1,500 before the Relay began. They continued selling clothing at the event to raise money. Robinson made iPod earbud earrings to sell and the group raised money by holding dinners.

“All of us really have known someone who’s had cancer,” said Julia Felici, 15, Rainbow Girls member.

“I think the biggest thing for the girls is to help the community,” said Katie Wiggins, 21, a group leader.

For Jeannie Lupien, Relay for Life means celebrating and remembering those who suffered from cancer.

After she found out she had pectoral cancer that spread two years ago, she had a double mastectomy --- a 13-hour operation --- because she wants to raise her two daughters, Teal, 13, and Guini, 11.

She did the Relay for Life even before she was diagnosed; it’s a family tradition. Her mother-in-law was diagnosed one year before her and was at this year’s Relay for Life.

“My daughters are totally into it,” Lupien said, adding that they fundraised in the past.

“It just means a lot of united spirit.

We don’t want to forget the people who’ve fought really hard. I see friends and I think of those lost,” Lupien said of Relay for Life.

“The people who run Relay put 100 percent of effort into it,” Lupien added.

As do the community members and cancer survivors who spent the night at the track walking in the rain for the biggest word of all: hope.

“Live today. Don’t give up hope.

And fight the fight, however you feel led,” Thompson said.

Midway ceremony connects generations

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

There’s a difference between reading about history and making history.

Battle of Midway survivor Harry Ferrier knows about making history. The retired Navy commander also knows how to share history, as he did Monday during a commemoration ceremony for the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway at the marina on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base.

The Oak Harbor resident was just 17 years old when he took part in one of the most important battles in U.S. military history. The Battle of Midway raged in the Pacific from June 4 through June 7, 1942. Outgunned and outnumbered by the Japanese Imperial Navy, American

forces outsmarted and outmaneuvered the Japanese, turning the tide of victory in our favor.

“Those men and boys at Midway … did more for their country in three days than most of us do in our lifetime,” said NAS Whidbey Island commanding officer, Capt.

Jay Johnston. “They had no right to win. Yet they did. And in doing so they changed the course of the war.”

Ferrier, a radioman/gunner at the time, was in one of six new TBF Avenger aircraft from Torpedo Squadron (VT) 8, assigned to Midway Atoll in the Pacific to reinforce the Marines there.

Of 51 American torpedocarrying planes involved in the battle, only seven returned. Out of 15 TBD Devastators and six TBF

Avengers from VT-8 that began the battle on June 4, only one plane — Ferrier’s — made it back.

“I was fortunate to have a wonderful pilot (Ensign

Albert Ernest) who knew his plane and knew his job,” Ferrier told the crowd of active duty personnel, community leaders, students and other members of the public.

“What is always important to remember are those men who gave up their lives,” he said. “They made it possible for the dive bombers to do their jobs.”

In the end, American forces destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers and one destroyer, and badly dam-

aged several other Japanese ships.

“This battle changed the course of U.S. naval history,” said Johnston. “If we had not succeeded at Midway, we wouldn’t have had troops to send to Europe. D-Day might never have happened.”

A new addition to the ceremony was Oak Harbor High School junior Brittany Rigby, who was chosen to read her essay on the significance of the battle.

“After learning about the

Battle of Midway, I have a whole new respect for not only the men in battle that complete their missions, but also those who weren’t able to,” read Rigby As the numbers of WWII survivors dwindle, the importance of explaining the significance of events like the Battle of Midway to younger generations grows.

Marine PFC Maggio Hardy, 19, wasn’t familiar with the Battle of Midway. But as he shook hands with Ferrier after the ceremony, he knew he’d touched a piece of living history.

“It’s a privilege, right there,” he said.

“We’ve got to remember the battles they’ve fought,” agreed Emmett Jaime, after shaking Ferrier’s hand. “We need to remember our veterans in every possible way to show our appreciation for what they went through.”

“As difficult as that battle was,” Ferrier told the crowd, “our Navy can be proud of those who succeeded them.

I’m glad I got to be here to give a little insight.”
