Burglary victims up in arms over lack of arrests

Hospital audit reveals payroll problems

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

on Feb. 11 with unlawful imprisonment and witness tampering.

The instances are charged as domestic-violence-related crimes.

Police allege that Gowdey, 44, got into a fight in 2007 with his then-girlfriend and handcuffed her on the side of a road; he also allegedly later coached her to not to tell investigators about the handcuffing incident, according to the police report.

Several employees at Whidbey General Hospital are seeing some smaller paychecks as a result of a problem in a new payroll system.

In a report released Feb. 18, state auditors reported hospital officials did not have adequate controls over payroll to safeguard public resources.

The result of that condition caused the hospital to make $183,000 worth of overpayments to employees, the report said.

Whidbey General Hospital is busy recouping the money by deducting from the affected employees’ paychecks as allowed by state law, spokeswoman Trish Rose said in an email.

“The audit did not find or allege deliberate wrongdoing on the part of any WGH employee or manager,” Rose said.

The Washington State Auditor’s Office conducts an annual audit of the hospital. The current audit covered Jan. 1, 2012 through Dec. 31, 2012.

Whidbey General Hospital employs approximately 700 people and has revenue expenditures of $48.9 million.

The hospital district also has five collective bargaining agreements in place.

Officials installed a new electronic payroll system in 2011. The payroll system cost approximately $45,000.

Omer Lupien was one of about 40 burglary victims to show up at a special meeting with law enforcement officials Thursday night.

Lupien said he and a friend had $12,000 worth of tools stolen last Halloween while they were putting up a pole building on Zylstra Road on North Whidbey.

Like several others at the meeting at the Coupeville Rec Hall, Lupien expressed frustration at the response he received from the Island County Sheriff’s Office. He and his friend started knocking on doors and found eight other burglary victims in the area; they even found suspects, but nobody was ever arrested.

“We never got a straight answer,” he said, referring to law enforcement.

“We never even got a call back.”

Sheriff Mark Brown and other law enforcement officials from Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley tried to address the concerns, pointing out the difficulties in investigating certain types of crimes, the legal restrictions on police and the limitations SEE UP IN ARMS, A4

Coupeville residents will likely have their last chance Monday night to comment on plans to disband the town marshal’s office.

Island County commissioners are holding a public hearing and are scheduled to consider an interlocal agreement, under which the Island County Sheriff’s Office will effectively take over the marshal’s office and provide policing services for an estimated $440,000 a year.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m., Feb. 24 in the county commissioners’ hearing room in the courthouse.

It’s nearly a sure thing.

The sheriff’s office largely

took over policing duties in Coupeville this month after the only remaining deputy marshal was arrested.

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard first approached Sheriff Mark Brown about the possibility of such an agreement after the marshal’s office started having staffing difficulties in fall 2012.

The department lost threequarters of its police force during a three-month period, largely due to pay issues.

The agreement, however, means that Marshal Lance Davenport will soon be out of a job as Rick Norrie, a sergeant with the sheriff’s office, takes over.

Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said she and her colleagues

discussed the proposal earlier this month and are all very supportive.

“It makes sense when you consider the economies of scale,” she said. “We in government need to find ways to be more resourceful with tax dollars.”

Under the proposed agreement, the sheriff’s office will provide the town with two dedicated employees. Norrie will serve as town marshal and will have a deputy dedicated to the department.

Norrie and the deputy will wear Coupeville Marshal’s Office uniforms and drive Coupeville patrol cars. Town officials will continue to direct law enforcement priorities and Norrie will work closely with Conard.

Langley man sought County offers first look at pot regs on child rape charges

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

A proposed Island County ordinance would regulate the appearance of marjuana-related businesses and their land to ensure they don’t “disrupt the character” of surrounding areas.

The draft ordinance was released by county staff this week to be reviewed

by Island County commissioners and the public.

Planning Director David Wechner told commissioners Wednesday that the county is likely to see most of the production and processing applications fall in agricultural zones, while limiting retail to commercial or industrial zones.

Only buildings or land approved by the county will be allowed to conduct marijuana businesses, but where these locations will be or how they will be determined is still up for discussion.

Commissioner Jill Johnson stressed the need to get the community involved because it is uncertain what type of effect these businesses will have on their neighbors.

“This could be you if you don’t speak up,” Johnson said. “It remains to be seen the type of behavior we’re going to see.

“There are consequences we don’t know yet.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson expressed cautious support for the ordinance, pending commu-

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 23-year-old Langley man accused of child rape is wanted on a $300,000 arrest warrant, court documents state.

Prosecutors charged Michael Jelinek Feb. 6 in Island County Superior Court with three counts of rape of a child in the third degree.

Under the charge, Jelinek is accused of having sex with someone who’s at JELINEK least 14 but less than 16 years old.

Last September, the parents of the 15-year-old victim reported the alleged crime to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Detective Laura Price interviewed the girl, who explained she met Jelinek while she was waiting at a bus stop near State Highway 525 at Thompson Road. She said he asked to use her cell phone, then later started calling her.

The girl said she met him at a trailer home several times and they had sex. Price sent the clothes the girl was wearing last time she was with Jelinek to the state lab for DNA testing. Detective Ed Wallace analyzed her cell phone and recovered text messages from Jelinek, the report states.

According to Price’s report, Jelinek is also wanted on a $50,000 felony warrant for identity theft, bail jumping, burglary and forgery; in addition, the Department of Corrections wants him on a no-bail warrant for escape from community custody.

nity input, but she has stated previously a desire to expedite the process.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson said she was concerned that overly strict regulations may translate into additional costs for the county.

Wechner said he anticipates that most producers will operate indoors.

But in the case of outdoor growers, the area must be screened with an eight-foot fence and set back from property lines no less than 30 feet.

For all operation types, parking must be contained on site, security measures must be in place and residential properties are not eligible for application.

The ordinance singles out Ebey’s National Historical Reserve, stating that only the smallest tier of operations — 2,000 square feet or less — will be allowed to farm within the reserve. Processing and retail will not be allowed on the reserve.

The county issued a six-month moratorium on new recreational and medical marijuana businesses in November after the passage of Initiative 502, which legalized recreational marijuana production and distribution.

The state accepted a first round of applications for marijuana business licenses Nov. 18 to Dec. 20.

A total of 30 applications were made by potential producers, 20 applications for processing and nine applications for retail stores in Island County.

Control Board’s website to view applicants if they are interested in knowing if a neighboring property has applied, Wechner said. The state’s quota for the number of retail pot shops in Island County is four, with one allotted for Oak Harbor and the rest allowable in the county at-large.

Oak Harbor City Council adopted its own regulations on recreational marijuana businesses earlier this month following its own moratorium last year.

The new ordinance, which goes into effect this month, doesn’t have any foreseeable effect since nobody has applied to the state for a pot license within the city limits.

The council also voted to extend a moratorium on medical marijuana businesses for an additional six months while the state looks at combining the recreational and medical marijuana laws.

Under the city’s draft, retail stores are limited to commercial and industrial zones, while growing and processing businesses are segregated to industrial and planned industrial park zones.

Wechner said the ordinance will now go to the planning commission for review and public hearing, after which it will return to the board of commissioners for additional review and a second public hearing.

A tentative adoption date is set for Apr. 7.

of resources.

Brown even hinted that a law-and-justice levy may be coming to voters.

Still, many victims want to see more done.

“I know they are taking it seriously,” said Brooke Barnes, a North Whidbey resident who’s property has been hit repeatedly over the years, “but it’s hard to see what they are doing about it.”

Jennifer Yzaguirre, the community service officer for the Oak Harbor Police Department, explained that she volunteered to set up the meeting in order the help the sheriff, who doesn’t have the funding for such a position in his office.

The sheriff lost nearly a third of his force during recession-era budget cuts.

“I’m doing this to help you out,” Yzaguirre said. “I hope you realize I’m not your enemy.”

Yzaguirre contacted people from 185 residences that were burglarized over the past year and invited them to attend the meeting. She asked people from different areas of the county to raise their hands.

There was only one person from inside Oak Harbor; the rest were from rural areas of North and South Whidbey.

Yzaguirre gave a PowerPoint presentation on ways in which to deter burglars.

Some of the best strategies, she explained, are just ways to make breaking in inconvenient for crooks. Placing outdoor lighting, cutting back landscaping from homes, locking up fences and getting dogs are all great ideas, she said.

Yzaguirre emphasized the power of surveillance cameras in not only deterring burglars, but also catching them.

She played a burglary caught on video at a Whidbey home that proved crucial in catching a burglar.

“That solved the crime, which doesn’t happen very often,” she said.

Yzaguirre explained that it’s somewhat rare to prosecute burglars for burglary since they usually have to be caught in the act to be charged.

Most often, they are charged with possession of stolen property after cops catch them with the goods.

The officers also discussed ways in which residents can get more information about burglaries in the community.

Yzaguirre explained that people have a right to such information and they can make public-records requests with the sheriff’s office or police departments.

Brown highlighted a Google Earth service that he provides. His department

emails out weekly “calls for service” reports to residents which shows a log of 911 calls, which people can open on the free Google Earth program.

Anyone interested can sign up by sending an email to wylief@co.island.wa.us.

The sheriff’s office in recent months began providing more detailed reports about crime on the island to the Whidbey News-Times. Those reports are published under the heading “Island Scanner.”

At the end of the meeting, the law enforcement officials took a series of questions from the burglary victims and listened to their stories.

One woman said her South Whidbey home had been hit four times in five years.

Another woman said burglars took eight security cameras off the eaves of her home before breaking in.

A Central Whidbey woman said a man she hired to do some work stole from her.

“I think betrayal is the best word,” she said.

South Whidbey resident Rufus Rose said he hopes to connect with other burglary victims to see what they can do “in concert” with the sheriff’s office.

Brown said his experiences with the Barefoot Bandit, the famous burglar from Camano Island, taught him just how much that type of crimes affects the victims.

“It’s your space. It’s your private area no one else should be in,” he said.

“I get it.”

Brown said he’s in the process of rebuilding his force and that burglars and drug investigations — which are intertwined with such property crimes — will continue to be a priority.

Several of the victims said afterward that they felt the meeting was helpful and productive; one woman said she was going to take Yzaguirre’s advice on prevention strategies to heart.

Lupien, however, wasn’t so thrilled. He suggested that the police should focus on busting drug houses instead of giving slideshows of commonsense information.

As for the sheriff’s office, he doesn’t have a lot of patience for “excuses” about funding limitations.

“Look at the rest of us. I’m out here pounding nails for a living. It’s tough all around,” he said.

“We found out more in three days than the detective could even tell us.”

on time cards supported by scans of their badges while salaried employees submit monthly time sheets that record time off, according to the audit report.

Auditors reviewed the hospital’s records during the last months of 2013 and presented their finding to the hospital’s finance committee on Jan. 28.

In the report, auditors noted the following: n A lack of segregation of duties within the departments of payroll and benefits. n No comparison of paid time off was claimed in time records to the amount earned before it is paid. n Payroll manager manually enters leave accruals for staff with contracts that have collective bargaining agreements. There is no secondary review to ensure the entries are accurate. n Supervisors don’t have adequate knowledge regarding use of the automated system and employee contracts.

“The district has not made it a priority to assess the risk associated with its payroll process,” the report states.

“It also has not documented the required procedures for the process nor provided adequate training for the employees and supervisors.

As a result, any intended controls are either unknown or not being followed.”

To remedy the situation, state auditors recommended: n Ensure supervisors have knowledge regarding use of the automated system an employee contracts. They also have to ensure adequate monitoring and oversight of the payroll process. n Ensure staff and super-

Rose said the hospital staff discovered the problem in August, months before the audit was conducted and was already taking steps to correct the problem.

Keith Mack, public relations liaison at Whidbey General Hospital, said in an email that the largest overpayment was the result of one error, which was quickly identified.

That error, which accounted for around 95 percent of the overpayments identified, was repaid less than a week after it occurred.

Approximately 99 percent of the overpayments had been recouped by the time the auditor’s office issued its report.

Managers are receiving ongoing training on payroll

procedures and how collective bargaining agreements affect them, Rose said.

Managers also receive weekly updates and a new training manual is available.

The hospital hired an additional employee to help monitor payroll transactions.

That employee, along with a trained back-up, means the hospital has four employees overseeing payroll transactions, an increased from two, Rose said.

Internal audits are also being performed the ensure compliance with Washington state law, Rose said.

“We believe the audit was fair and we appreciate the chance to correct any shortcomings in our payroll procedures,” Rose said.

She noted the audit report stated that “district management has been responsive to our audit recommendations.

We believe this reflects the district’s desire and commitment to maintain a strong financial system.”

State auditors last issued a finding for Whidbey General Hospital in 2003. That finding related to an issue with contracts, which the hospital district resolved.

Rescue crews helped remove a paraglider from a tree Wednesday.

Paraglider crashes into trees near Fort Ebey

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

A bruised ego was the only injury sustained by a paraglider from Bothell who crashed into trees near Fort Ebey Wednesday.

Pete Blyzka, who has been paragliding for five-and-a-half years, was gliding above the coast line at Fort Ebey State Park Wednesday morning when he encountered blustery weather.

“It just blew me back over the trees,” he said.

Blyzka is a student at the University of Washington who took the day off from classes for a trip up to Whidbey to paraglide.

He described the accident as “karma.”

Blyzka said he struggled to maintain pressure in the cells of his paraglider because of wind conditions, and he looked for the best place to land.

“It’s better to land in the trees,” Blyzka said.

He noticed the road going through woods near the gun emplacements at the state

park. When he landed, he found himself dangling about 25 feet above the ground.

He was paragliding with a friend, who called 911 after he crashed.

Blyzka estimated he waited around a half hour before firefighters arrived.

Chad Michael, battalion chief for Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue, said that firefighters from Oak Harbor and North Whidbey Fire and Rescue also responded.

Even though a ladder truck was dispatched, firefighters were able to use a 35-foot-long ladder to reach Blyzka and pull him to safety.

Firefighters had to use the larger ladder truck to pull Blyzka’s sail from the evergreen trees.

He wasn’t injured as the result of the incident, but he said his wing was “shredded.”

Paragliders from around the region enjoy gliding at Fort Ebey State Park.

They take off from the grassy field located below gun emplacements.

Should art be safe, or is it better to challenge thinking?

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

The sculpture of a large octopus proposed for downtown Oak Harbor — a piece being referred to as a “Kraken” — is certainly fulfilling one objective of good art — it has people thinking and talking about it.

I’ve gone back and forth in my opinion about this particular piece.

I feel differently about it at different times.

And I kind of like that.

Like the sculpture of the mermaid along Pioneer Way, I wondered, what on Earth does a giant octopus have to do with Oak Harbor?

Then again, what does the Flinstone car have to do with Oak Harbor, and what does Hammering Man have to do with Seattle?

Must an art piece directly reflect the community in which it’s located? Should Oak Harbor only have statues of little Dutch boys and girls, windmills and shamrocks? Is it really “art” if a piece is made to fit a theme?

If so, where does surreal, figurative or abstract art have a place in our society?

If I had to come up with a term for the proposed octopus sculpture, I’d call it “fantastical.” Is it better to step out of the box, as Oak Harbor’s Art Commission is doing?

While attending the Western Washington University campus many years ago, I appreciated the simplicity of pieces like the massive structural orange steel girders entitled “For Handel.” My favorite piece on the campus is called “Rock Rings,” which was located in a more remote part of the campus.

The interesting thing about art is that not everyone has to love it or even like it. In fact, some of the great artists were unappreciated in their times, among them Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat and Monet.

Before jumping to a decision on whether to approve or reject the “Kraken” sculpture, decision-makers should ponder their objectives.

Should people be intrigued, surprised and even perplexed by public artwork, or is it better that they feel comfortable and unchallenged?

At this moment, I would lean toward challenging people’s thinking.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sculpture

Art purchase a waste of money

Editor, Here is the City of Oak Harbor again spending our money when we have other more important bills to pay.

Last week, in the Whidbey News-Times, an article I read said that the citizens of Oak Harbor will have to pay for the mistakes that the city council made on the remains of ancient burial site on Pioneer Way. So, the city decided to increase our taxes to pay for their mistake.

Now, I read this week that the city wants to buy art work that will cost us $33,000 and “purchase of the art work is funded by tax on utilities.”

Why are we the citizens paying for art work? It seems that each time our city council gets together all

they want to do is increase our taxes to pay for some item or mistake that they have created.

Do not get me wrong on the artwork, I like art and enjoy it.

But, to buy any type of art work at this time is just plain stupid. It’s like a person who has outstanding bills and goes out and buys $500 worth of lotto tickets and hopes they win the mega millions.

Then they find-out that they lost. Now they are deeper in debt.

Take a look at the current artwork that is along Pioneer Way, did it bring in customers and open new shops and increase the wellbeing of our town?

By counting the number of empty shops along the street, I do not think the art work is helping.

Artwork is nice to look at, but it does not pay the “city’s” bills.

Quit spending citizens of

Respect

Review law on flying Old Glory Editor, I find it appalling, not to mention a violation of U.S. Code, that some businesses and residents in Oak Harbor consider it appropriate to fly their “12th Man” flags positioned above their American flags on their outdoor flag poles in the days leading up to and after this year’s Super Bowl.

As a football fan, I can understand the concept of flying your flag in support of your team. However, your team’s flag does not take precedence over our country’s flag. I find it unacceptably irresponsible that these Oak Harbor residents

and businesses display this type of ignorance and disrespect to the proper etiquette associated with hoisting the American Flag at their homes and businesses.

I find this ignorance even more inexcusable in a military-supported town like Oak Harbor, at a business located less than 100 feet beyond the fence of a U.S. Navy installation. Residents and businesses who are willing to spend good money on a flag pole set-up, should be willing to look into, understand and practice the responsibilities associated with using it.

Best of luck to the Seattle Seahawks in their coming season, but hopefully this offseason will give the “12th Man” a little time to educate themselves. It is this type of ignorance and disrespect that continues to contribute to the terrible reputation that the Seahawks’ following is becoming so well known SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

Current usage doesn’t diminish need for OLF

C C

As far as flying over the Skagit Valley and the islands, if they aren’t bouncing they are not constantly in the pattern so no noise.

The fact the Navy has not been using OLF Coupeville does not mean it is not needed.

I also highly doubt they would waste the fuel needed to get to San Diego, El Centro or China Lake just to bounce. It would be cost prohibitive.

I would like to know where your “proof” comes from, this goes for the complaint line also. I wouldn’t be so bold as to think that your group is intimidating the Navy if I

New ’Cat softball coach wants players to work hard, have fun

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

“Own it.”

First-year Oak Harbor High School softball coach Todd Showalter picked the motto for his team to align with his philosophy of “work hard and have fun competing.”

Showalter takes over the softball program this spring from Jess Boswell, who stepped down to focus on completing her master’s degree and starting a family.

Showalter served as the junior varsity coach for three years before becoming the varsity assistant last season.

He also worked as an assistant in the boys and girls basketball programs at Cheney, Medical Lake and Oak Harbor middle and high schools.

When the Oak Harbor softball head coaching job opened, Showalter said he “thought it would

be a good opportunity to work with our returning players and keep consistency in the program.”

“I really enjoyed the girls on the team last year and the positive attitude throughout the program,” he added.

Oak Harbor qualified for the playoffs last spring for the first time since 1998, and Showalter hopes to make postseason play a common occurrence for the Wildcats.

To help reach this goal, he “would like to build a program with more influences from all four grades contributing instead of relying on one strong class to carry the program for three or four years at a time.”

Such was the case the past few years when members of the class of 2013 formed the nucleus of the varsity squad throughout their fouryear careers.

Seven players graduated last spring, four earning first-team, allWesco North Division honors.

To build talent throughout the grade levels, Showalter wants the

team to work hard to “do the right things to get better every day and win games as a result of improvement.”

“With so many younger players, we will focus on the basics of softball but be aggressive in trying to make the right play,” Showalter said. For example, players will strike out swinging at pitches in the strike zone instead of taking a called third strike because they are afraid to fail, he said.

Which leads to “Own it.”

“I want the players to own their position and keep their position everyday. They should own their spot in the batting order and not give me a reason to move them.

“I want players to own their successes and build on them and own their mistakes and grow from them.”

“Practice will be fast-paced with a focus for the day and the week,” he added. It will be competitive to “keep players pushing themselves to become better players.”

Washington, Leete among OH career scoring leaders The Oak Harbor High School boys and girls basketball teams had quiet seasons, but that didn’t stop two players from making individual noise.

A pair of seniors, Drew Washington and Joanna Leete, completed their careers as two of the school’s most prolific scorers.

Washington amassed 998 points over four years, the third most among the boys in school history.

Leete piled up 901, sixth among Wildcat girls.

Washington trails only his brother, Mike Washington Jr., who scored 1,526 points from 2009-12, and Brannon Stone, who scored 1,427 from 1995-98.

His per game average this winter, 21.1 points, is also third best. Stone averaged 21.8 in 1998 and Ron Durant 21.7 in 1977.

Drew Washington’s 423 points this season is the seventh-best for one season; Stone tops the list with 458 in 1998.

Washington also scored 44 points in one game this year, the second-highest single-game total. Pat McGreevey scored 49 in 1953.

Heidi McNeill leads the girls career scoring list with 1,664 points from 2002-05. She also has the three highest single-season totals, led by 441 in 2003.

Her 17.7 points per game for her career heads the all-time list.

Leete scored 253 points this season for a 12.65 average. Her highest-scoring year was last winter when she scored 319 points, 12th best all-time, with a 15.95 average, which included a single-game high of 32 points. The 32-point game is the fourth highest; McNeill owns the all-time best of 40 in 2005.

Leete’s career per-game average of 11.26 points is sixth best.

Drew Washington led Oak Harbor in more than scoring this season.

He finished first in field

goals made (138), field goals attempted (424), three-pointers made (61), three-pointers attempted (245), free throws made (86), free throws attempted (108), free-throw percentage (79.6), defensive rebounds (106), assists (36), blocks (24) and steals (20).

Zach Gibbs finished with the best field goal percentage among the regulars (71-146, 48.6 percent), led in total rebounds (169), and tied Gabe Groenig for most offensive rebounds (68).

Elijah Smith posted the best three-point field goal percentage (15-40, 37.5 percent).

Gibbs was second in blocks (7) and steals (18); Dyllan Harris was second in scoring (277 points, 13.9 per game), free throw percentage (38-50, 76 percent) and assists (18); and Groenig was second rebounds (139) and field goal percentage (34-86, 37.5 percent).

GOWDEY CONTINUED FROM A1 Gowdey was released from jail after posting a $30,000 bond.

Gowdey’s attorney, Chris Skinner of Oak Harbor, said his client will plead not guilty at his March 3 arraignment.

“We will be aggressively defending the case,” Skinner said.

Green said the case was handed over to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.

Detective Brad Pince, who is taking over the case, said he’s looking into new allegations against Gowdey, but he doesn’t know if they will lead to additional charges.

The recent allegations against Gowdey came to light while the Town of Coupeville was in the process of disbanding the marshal’s office and entering into a contract with the sheriff’s office to provide police services.

Under law, Gowdey — the Coupeville department’s only remaining deputy — has the right to employment at the sheriff’s office if he passes the background check.

The background check,

however, led to the criminal case against Gowdey.

Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck looked into a 2007 internal investigation of Gowdey’s argument with his thengirlfriend outside Coupeville Town Hall.

Mauck contacted the woman, who now claims that the argument continued beyond what she reported six years ago.

After Mauck alerted him to the new allegations, Coupeville Marshal Lance Davenport asked Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner with the Oak Harbor Police to look into the possible criminal allegations.

According to Gardner’s report, the alleged victim said Gowdey pursued her in his patrol car on the night of the fight. She said he had her and pull over along the side of Madrona Way. Gowdey allegedly screamed at the woman to get out of the car and allegedly punched the car, leaving a dent. She said she told him that she “couldn’t take it” and she might as well drive off the road.

Gowdey allegedly pulled her out of the car and led her to the back of the vehicle. Gowdey then allegedly

“leaned her over the trunk like she was being arrested, and handcuffed her, telling her that since she was suicidal, he was taking her into protective custody,” the report states.

The woman said Gowdey let her go after 10 minutes.

The woman also claimed Gowdey later told her he was being investigated about the fight. She said he coached her not to say anything about the Madrona Way incident, the report states.

Gardner interviewed Gowdey about the allegation. Gardner wrote that Gowdy admitted he may have dented his former girlfriend’s car in the incident, but he didn’t remember whether he handcuffed her.

Gowdey said he doesn’t believe she was suicidal, the report states. He also denies coaching the woman about what to say during the internal investigation.

Gowdey was charged in King County in 1999 with fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor domestic-violence charge, according to court records. He was found not guilty at trial.

Contest calls for calendar photos

ART

Whidbey Camano Land Trust goes after outdoor images until May 1

By RON NEWBERRY

How to submit

When Janelle Castro interviewed for the outreach manager position at the Whidbey Camano Land Trust last spring, she shared an idea that she thought would be a natural fit for Island County.

Castro got the job and soon put into action her idea of a photo contest that she hoped would appeal to Whidbey and Camano islanders and bring attention to the land trust.

The result was the Whidbey Camano Photo Contest that got under way last month.

Amateur photographers were prompted to submit outdoor photos from Whidbey and Camano islands with the best 13 images to be selected by a panel then published in the 2015 Whidbey Camano Land Trust calendar.

So far, between 100-200 photos have been submitted, Castro said, with no more than five allowed per individual.

Photographers have until May 1 to send in entries.

To submit outdoor photos for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust photo contest, go to www.wctl.org and click “Get Involved.”

Staff reporter

“I started a similar project at a land trust in New York that I worked for and it really took off,” said Castro, referring to the Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust in Watertown, N.Y. “I ran the contest and developed the calendar there for several years. By the last year there, we were receiving over a thousand photos.”

With Whidbey and Camano islands known for their scenic beauty, transferring that idea to her new home seemed natural.

She’s received images from all over Island County, including shots taken at Deception Pass State Park on North Whidbey and at the Iverson Spit Preserve on Camano.

“There are so many beautiful places on Whidbey and Camano,” Castro said, “and that’s why people love it so

This image of Maxwelton Beach was submitted for the contest by Rick Collar. much. There are so many recreational opportunities. I think living in such a stunning place, it’s only natural to capture those special places and memories. What a better way than with a photo contest.”

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. A big part of the land trust’s mission is to preserve important natural habitat, scenic vistas and working farms for future generations.

Photos don’t have to be taken on property protected by the Land Trust. Any outdoor image on Whidbey or Camano will do, with our without people in them, Castro said.

The idea is to illustrate the islands’ beauty and uniqueness. Recent photos are

encouraged.

Castro has received entries from full-time and summer-time residents and from those who camped or were just passing through.

Most photo entries appear to have been taken by a camera, which Castro recommends as opposed to a phone because file size is important.

To be considered for a month or cover photo, the photo must be at least 300 dots per inch (dpi). Many smaller images also will appear throughout the calendar.

“I’m trying to encourage people to send me the highest resolution of photos possible,” she said.

Photo submissions may be emailed to Castro at janelle@wclt.org. All sub-

mitted photos are subject to unrestricted use for any purpose by the Land Trust, according to contest rules.

To view contest guidelines or to upload a photo, go to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust website at www. wclt.org and click the “Get Involved” tab.

If you have any questions about the contest, Castro also may be reached at 360222-3310.

“I’ve received some wildlife photos,” she said. “I absolutely encourage people to submit more of any type of photos as long as they’re outdoors. They can have people in there enjoying the land or water. It’s open to anybody. You don’t have to be a professional. You just have to be excited about the photos you are taking.”

God has a way of mending our aching hearts I was introduced to the poet Emily Dickinson during my sophomore year of college when I took a class that introduced me to her extensive works. I came to realize that her masterful words give us a peek into the deepest themes surrounding the human experience. I treasure the quarter I studied Emily Dickinson’s life and the writings she produced in response to her experiences. Today I continue to meet her in wonderful ways through her poems.

This week I found myself drawn to her unforgettable thoughts on the broken hearted because my own heart has been troubled.

Yet, right along with my

FAITHFUL LIVING

By JOAN BAY KLOPE everso-troubled heart has come an astonishing discovery: a suffering heart can be a strange and welcome bedfellow.

I once believed that if I felt happy, if stress was kept at bay and if I rid even the deep reaches of my heart of any sadness, these were sig-

nals my life was going well.

Success, it seemed, came wrapped up in good feelings.

I no longer believe this.

Instead, feeling somewhat broken hearted can be an acceptable condition. We will live through the experience and recover, ever stronger, if we allow God to interplay in the events. We will learn to live deeply satisfying lives with a heart that occasionally feels like it’s breaking.

Early in my life I began realizing that events had the power to etch fractures into my heart. As I began to understand the world

around me, I also began to feel its pain. And as I grew in my ability to self reflect, I came to understand that God had gifted me with tenderness for good reasons and full intention.

While I approached my life with natural energy and optimism, I also hurt for my friends and family members struggling with one problem or another; for injustice, famine, war, disease, and for myself, on occasion. I learned not to dwell on the pain, but to face it head on.

I began allowing myself to feel it deeply and respond in constructive ways.

When Robert Kennedy was assassinated, I felt terribly sorry for his daughter

closest to my age. I wrote her a letter of condolence and she responded with a card, thanking me for my sympathy. I ran across our correspondence this week while looking through a box of cards.

My heart broke this week when my husband and I talked about the ways our parents, now advanced in age, are struggling with physical changes they do not welcome and greatly impact their daily lives.

To watch people who have loved and guided us throughout our lives, now struggle to respond with grace to life changes happening beyond their control, is very challenging.

Each time I felt that familiar heart break, I asked God to move right in — ­ right to the places where everyone in our families are hurting.

Right where the demands of life require a heavenly source of hope and energy and strength. From experience I anticipate God’s love to empower and strengthen us — along with all who ask.

God will forever be the great mender of broken hearts. We are not alone.
