County OKs some fair group building expenses By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

“We’re targeting the 24th of June,” Capacci said. The delay is largely the result of the vessel’s later than expected delivery. The state was expected to take possession of the craft last month, but a rudder problem pushed it back until June 2, Capacci said. “Two weeks just wasn’t enough time [for crew training],” Capacci said. While not overly impactful, the setback was disappointing for many

State required electrical upgrades at the Island County Fairgrounds will be covered by Island County. The $8,789 payment was seen as a victory for the Island County Fair Association, the nonprofit that produces the annual Whidbey Island Area Fair in exchange for the use and management of the 12.8 acres, even if the bulk of their request — $18,840.98 — to expose the ceiling of the Pole Building’s dining room was not reimbursed. “We were glad to get what we got, but it is an illustration that it’s an uphill battle,” said Diane Divelbess, president of the fair association, in a phone interview after the county work session June 11. Though the work was already complete and paid for by the fair association, Island County has a lease agreement with the association in which the county is only responsible for capital improvements as funding becomes available. The association’s leadership recently asked the Island County commissioners for new terms for its lease of the property. Essentially, the association said that unless the county agreed to provide additional funding it would not renew its existing contract to maintain the fairgrounds, instead focusing its efforts on running the four-day annual event. “We’re not one of these agencies that has tax support built into it, therefore

Nighttime blaze claims Goss Lake barn By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A fire destroyed a two-story, 3,300-square-foot barn near Goss Lake early Tuesday morning. Neither of the property owners were injured, but the blaze engulfed the entire barn and the structure was a total loss, according to South Whidbey Fire/EMS officials. The cause was

unknown, and because of the way firefighters battled the flames, it may never be discovered. “It was a totally defensive fire. Unfortunately we had to dissect the building with a trackhoe, so we weren’t able to determine the cause,” said Chief Rusty Palmer. “But nothing indicated a suspicious origin.” Palmer estimated the value of the loss, includ-

ing the structure and what was stored inside, at nearly $500,000. At about 1:15 a.m., owners Ron Swenson and his wife awoke to the sound of the barn burning. “It must have just been the noise of it,” Swenson said. “It was well in flames when we SEE BARN, A24

Tokitae service entry delayed By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Justin Burnett / The Record

The Tokitae, Washington’s new 144-car ferry, will enter service a little later than expected. Instead of this past Sunday, it’s now expected to begin working Tuesday, June 24.

It will be at least a week before Clinton’s new floating pride and joy, the MV Tokitae, enters service, ferry officials said this week. The boat was expected to begin shuttling travelers on and off the South End on Father’s Day, June 15, but crews need a bit more time familiarizing themselves with the new Olympic-class vessel, according to Capt. George Capacci, interim chief of the state Department of Transportation, Ferries Division.

Accused Coupeville cop was “tricked,” judge says Ruling makes deputy’s earlier statements inadmissable in court By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record There’s nothing unusual about the police using a ruse against a criminal suspect. Such trickery can be “legal and appropriate,” said Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock. But, in interviewing Hodges Gowdey, a former deputy with the Coupeville Marshal’s Office, the Oak Harbor police tried to compel him to make statements through a fake internal investigation into a 2007 incident in which he allegedly handcuffed his girlfriend during a fight and later told her not to tell investigators about it. The investigative tactic was inappropriately coercive and therefore his comments cannot be used against him at trial, Hancock found during an evidentiary hearing last Friday. “He was essentially tricked into giving up his constitutional rights,” Hancock said. On the other hand, Hancock denied a defense motion to dismiss a charge of witness tampering, ruling it didn’t matter if there was a criminal investigation at the time Gowdey allegedly asked the victim not to tell investigators about his alleged criminal conduct. As a result, Gowdey’s trial is still set for June 24. He faces charges of unlawful imprisonment and witness tampering; both were

Self-incriminating statements made by former Coupeville deputy marshal Hodges Gowdey have been thrown out by a superior court judge. Gowdey will stand trial June 24. charged as domestic-violence-related crimes. POLICE ALLEGE that Gowdey, 44, got into a fight in 2007 with his thengirlfriend while he was on duty and handcuffed her on the side of a road after she threatened to drive off the road; he also allegedly later coached her not to tell investigators about the handcuffing incident, according to the police report. The allegations came to light while Coupeville was disbanding the marshal’s office and entering into a contract with the Island County Sheriff’s Office to provide police services. Under law, Gowdey — the Coupeville department’s only remaining deputy — had the right to employment at the sheriff’s office if he passed the background check. The background investigation, 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 then-

girlfriend outside Coupeville Town Hall. Mauck contacted the woman, who now claims that the argument continued beyond what she reported six years ago. The former Coupeville marshal turned the criminal investigation over to the Oak Harbor Police Department in order to avoid a conflict of interest. Hancock noted that it was a “curious” decision since the alleged victim worked as a civilian employee of the police department. DURING AN interview with police, Gowdey allegedly admitted he may have dented the woman’s car in the roadside incident, but said he didn’t remember if he handcuffed her. Gowdey said he didn’t think she was suicidal during the incident, according to the report written by then-Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner, who is now captain of the Oak Harbor

Police Department. Gowdey denied coaching the woman about what to say in the 2007 internal investigation. It came out in recent evidentiary hearings, however, that Gowdey made those statements during a ruse largely concocted by Gardner. Gowdey was led to believe Gardner was conducting an internal investigation of the alleged victim. Christon Skinner, Gowdey’s attorney, argued that allowing the statements to be used against Gowdey in court would violate his Garrity rights, well-established protections that stem from the Fifth Amendment and a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Essentially, Garrity rights mean that public employees cannot be compelled to incriminate themselves during internal investigations. Gowdey testified that he thought he had no choice, under department policy, but to speak with Gardner as part of the internal investigation. He understood that his statements could not be used against him in a criminal trial since he was protected by Garrity. He admitted that he was confused when she read him his Miranda rights, but not his Garrity rights. “I asked her if I was a suspect in a criminal investigation. I said if I am, then this investigation is over,” Gowdey said. He claimed Gardner didn’t admit that he was a suspect, but said she wouldn’t know

until she interviewed him. GOWDEY WAS well aware of his Garrity rights. He said he went through two internal investigations in Coupeville. He testified that he worked for 14 years in Coupeville, two years in Oroville and six months in Snoqualmie. He admitted he was fired from Oroville for lying to his boss. “Mr. Gowdey was in a terrible dilemma,” Skinner said. “He could either cooperate and face discipline and the possibility of not being hired — or make statements that would incriminate himself.” Hancock agreed and granted Skinner’s motion to suppress Gowdey’s statements, which he called “coerced” and “involuntary.” Hancock said Gardner had an obligation to clarify to Gowdey that he was indeed

a suspect in a criminal investigation, which she did not. Skinner was particularly critical of Gardner during his arguments in court. He questioned her during the evidentiary hearing and was openly skeptical when she said she couldn’t remember details of an interview with him about a month prior. Skinner called his paralegal to the stand and she testified that she didn’t have trouble remembering the details of the interview; she was in the room and took notes. She also disputed a couple of Gardner’s answers to questions, including whether she had probable cause to arrest Gowdey prior to the ruse. Skinner said Gardner’s answers were “somewhat difficult to accept.” “I don’t think the court should give her testimony much weight at all,” he said.

Langley’s Parks and Open Space Commission will develop a priority list for volunteer work and projects it would like to tackle in the coming months.

LANGLEY Second Street opens fully With the plaza complete, Second Street is open for parking and traffic, though it looks a bit like a tamed Wild West until the striping of lanes and parking spaces is finished this week, weather permitting. Langley Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango said the construction crew needs at least 24 hours of no rain to line the street. Tables and benches for the plaza — a raised, wide crosswalk designed to use visual cues for drivers to pay attention — between Callahan’s Firehouse and the South Whidbey Commons should arrive soon. “Other than that, the project is complete,” Arango said.

Parks commission sets work plan The citizen commission in charge of Langley’s parks and open spaces has set an ambitious work plan for itself in the coming year. Speaking to the city council June 16, commission Chairwoman Nancy Rowan said the group would like to see a commitment from the city staff to create a budget

for them to accomplish some work preserving open space in town. She cited a 2009 survey of Langley residents who stated parks were a high priority. “It shows that people want walking trails and beach walks,” she said. One of the top priorities for the commission is getting direction from the city about the Noble Creek property. Rowan described it as a commonly used trail that connects Edgecliff to Sandy Point.

She also noted several areas of interest for the commission, including the wetland behind Langley Middle School. Last year, the city negotiated a lower dump fee for about 150 tires that had been abandoned there and were hauled out by resident John Norby. He again offered to help the city if it could get the lower dump fee. Rowan said the commission plans to work with the South Whidbey School District and the Whidbey Watershed Stewards to restore the pond. “These places are very important to the city,”

A small structure on the Island County Fairgrounds will be torn down this weekend. According to Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, county Facilities Director Larry Van Horn recommended the demolition of the Pottery Shed for safety reasons. Described as a small lean-to attached to the Malone Building, it will be taken down on Saturday. “It had some water damage and structural deficiencies,” Price Johnson said. “There was concern he had about public safety,” she added. The demolition is not connected to an existing proposal to turn the fairgrounds into an island event center, a plan that would demolish about half of the facility’s existing buildings. That long-range plan has yet to be decided upon,” the commissioner said

NAS WHIDBEY Coming soon: six P8-A squadrons The Navy has decided to base six P8-A squadrons at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island at the

close of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement this month. The Navy weighed two alternatives during the SEIS process and chose the option to base six fleet squadrons at NAS Whidbey and six fleet squadrons plus the replacement squadron at Jacksonville Naval Air Station in Florida. The choice also calls for a permanent rotating squadron detachment at Hawaii Marine Corps Base, and periodic squadron detachments to Corondo Naval Base in California. The number of squadrons here will increase from three to six and the number of total aircraft will jump from 24 P-3 aircraft to 42 P-8As once the transition is complete. However, fewer staff members are needed to maintain the newer aircraft so personnel numbers will stay relatively static with a loss of an estimated 190 military personnel and dependents. Heavy usage of simulators for training will decrease the number of air operations at Ault Field from roughly 14,000 to 10,000, according to EIS documents. Michael Monson, president of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, a group opposed to Navy jet noise, said he was glad to see the number of operations will be decreased. The transition to the P-8As is expected to provide economic stimulus in the form of new construction, which is estimated to reach over $110 million and provide more than 1,100 jobs. The second option would have based seven squadrons at NAS Whidbey and five squadrons at NAS Jacksonville.

Langley city council supports temporary demolition ban By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Nary a hand was raised in favor of the Dog House Tavern’s owners’ rights to tear down the century-old building at the Langley City Council hearing Monday. Hardly any opinions were entered into the record at the mandatory public hearing about the city’s emergency ordinance. Last month, in response to Dog House owners Charlie and Janice Kleiner’s inquiry about the process to take down the First Street building, Langley’s planning director and mayor supported a six-month demolition moratorium. The temporary ban specifically targeted the Dog House Tavern as one of the only buildings qualified as being on the National Register of Historic Places and located within the downtown area. Of the one public comment offered at the public hearing on the emergency ordinance that bans demolition of historic buildings in the downtown core, it came from a non-Langley resident. Marianne Edain, a co-founder of Whidbey Environmental Action Network and a member of the city’s Parks and Open Space Commission, spoke in favor of keeping the building as it is until all restoration options are exhausted. “Given that the Dog House has been the center and the image of the city for many, many years, yes, the city has to look at saving

ing their request for a street vacation. They had asked the city for part of its right of way adjacent to the building – the space under the deck and stairs that are suspended over city property. Langley is bound by law from giving away a public asset, and the city countered with several options including the continued use of the deck and stairs, a land swap for property on the north end of the lot, and creating a public benefit like a bathroom. All of those were rejected by the Kleiners. “It’s unclear why none of those options were workable,” Arango said. While the city determines its authority over the building and the Kleiners wait, Neff said the building will continue to fall into disrepair. “As it continues to deteriorate, it makes it more difficult to restore,” she said. The same could be said of the communication between the Kleiners and Langley City Hall. In previous interviews with The Record, Charlie Kleiner said he felt there was a shift in Langley’s

attitude about helping them restore it once Mayor Fred McCarthy took office after Larry Kwarsick. But recently, McCarthy met with them for two hours to discuss the issues faced by the city and the property owners. At a May 19 city council meeting, the Kleiners requested a shortened moratorium, which Arango said was unlikely because the city needed time to develop criteria for the demolition of historic buildings. That process will begin today with the Planning Advisory Board meeting, the first step in Langley deciding what can and cannot be done to historic buildings downtown.

Possession Point boat ramp project a worthy objective

The boat launch at Possession Point Waterfront Park may soon get an overhaul. The Port of South Whidbey is in the process of planning substantial renovations, and the commissioners are right to pursue this long overdue project. The proposal recently came under fire from neighbors concerned about potential noise impacts, and their objections should be thoughtfully considered, but not at the expense of the interests of the public and the environment. As presented, the project will move the launch to the south, closer to the nearby houses. While one cost would be additional noise for homeowners, the relocation and other design changes would still pay. If it works as designers maintain, the move would reduce sand accumulation over the ramp, which would make it more usable for boaters, require less regular maintenance by port staff and limit possible negative impacts to sand lance, an important food source for salmon. The project would also result in the installation of steel pilings, replacing the existing creosote ones that are fading from use everywhere due to their poisonous effect. Such improvements are expensive, especially it seems when the work is for government projects. Early estimates of this proposal have penciled out at about $450,000, but it’s a price worth paying when considering the potential long-term benefits. Increasing the availability and usability for the public alone might be worth the cost, as Whidbey residents value and spend much time on the water, but the project also means a savings of regular maintenance dollars and a smaller footprint on Puget Sound’s fragile environment. Finally, fostering economic development is the primary function of port districts, but maintaining and improving access to the waterfront is a close second. The commissioners should always be working toward these ends — it’s what they were elected to do — and it’s good to see that the board hasn’t forgotten these lesser responsibilities in the wake of larger projects, such as the recent marina expansion. This project is a worthy investment with benefits that far outweigh its shortcoming, and should move ahead.

Real estate market isn’t as bad as fire chief made out Editor, I read the article about South Whidbey Fire/EMS selling some unused land. I have no comment on the price or pending sale of that property, as the fire district is dealing with a very competent real estate agent who is giving competent advice. However, the last couple paragraphs of the newspaper article stated that Chief Rusty Palmer and the commissioners think that it could take “several more decades” for that land to be worth what the district paid for it in 2001. Palmer states, “If you’re willing to wait 30, 40, 50 years, it might get back up there.” C’mon, let’s not be so pessimistic. It won’t take 30, 40, 50 years for real estate investments to “get back.” This kind of reminds me a little of gloomy

It is true that land sales are down this year so far over the first five months from 2013, but five months does not make a year. The great news this spring is the housing market. Our Whidbey Island residential home sales are already beating the pace of 2013, and the average selling price is higher than the average sales prices of January through May, 2013.

treatment of life and death. Kudos to Mr. Rarick and the entire cast and crew for an excellent show. But wait, that’s just not unusual for WICA productions. Elliott, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but to say that “standards are lax” for WICA productions is ridiculous. You state that you “don’t bother much with WICA productions” so how would you know about production standards? Do you base your opinion on your vast experience attending or being involved in community theater? Perhaps you are comparing WICA productions with productions by professional companies like ACT or The Rep, hardly a fair comparison though WICA still holds up well in that light I believe. Of course, that’s just my opinion. An opinion formed, by the way, from directing more than

of Langley and everyone is invited. The Langley Main Street Association and the Langley Chamber of Commerce have partnered with the City of Langley to host this event. Main Street arranged for veterans from the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center to prepare a summer barbecue for everyone. It will be a time of ribbon cutting, enjoying local food, drink, music, and celebrating moving our economy and city into a future filled with hope and promise. This has been a project

“we” have done together. We created a vision, obtained the funding, hired the right engineering company and architect. Most of our businesses sacrificed commerce greatly during the construction. Many people gave input that was listened to along the way, changes were made, and now we have a brand new street and infrastructure to celebrate and enjoy for generations to come. It is far from an ordinary street. It is the kind of street that the extraordinary people of Langley

deserve. It is a breathtakingly beautiful village center with hand-selected plantings in creative rain gardens. It has new water pipes, storm drains, and fiber optic conduit. Wide sidewalks were poured for families and friends to walk arm-in-arm together. An artistic geometricallydesigned plaza with LED lighted seating, a central convenient bus stop, creative signage and banners, and stamped concrete pathways welcome movement crossing at multiple locations. The city restrooms

200 plays, acting in or teaching dozens more and attending hundreds more, including most of those produced at WICA. I’m certain the cast and crew of “Our Town” appreciates your compliment, but why disparage the dozens of other shows and hundreds of other actors, technicians, stage hands and the WICA staff and volunteers by making such an ill-informed, untrue and unnecessary statement. You are a businessman, Elliott. How much would you appreciate a review that complimented you on a recent job, which was remarkable only because your work is typically sub-standard. Come on now. “Our Town” deserves your praise … WICA deserves better. Sincerely,

This is letter is about Mr. Freeman’s gun-inspired anger. Yes, the U.S. “has become even more awash with guns,” especially since the present administration took office, but homicide rates have declined even as the total supply of guns has increased. Notwithstanding Mr. Freeman’s paranoia about guns, mass shootings contribute a relatively small fraction of gun deaths — and result in massive news coverage. Northeastern criminology professor James Alan Fox: “… there has been no increase in mass shootings and certainly no epidemic.” See also: www.pewresearch. org/fact-tank/2013/09/17/ mass-shootings-rivet-nationalattention-but-are-a-smallshare-of-gun-violence/ December 2012,

Economist John Lott: With one exception (Tucson in 2011) U.S. shootings since 1950 with more than three people killed took place where guns were prohibited. Mr. Freeman’s estimate of 390,000 deaths since 9/11 is reasonable. Ten year figures for 20022011: Total deaths 309,536; suicides 178,118 (57.5 percent of total - increasing); homicides 118,999 (38.4 percent of total - decreasing); Homicide rates, by year, for 2002-2011: 4.11, 4.11, 3.97, 4.18, 4.29, 4.19, 4.01, 3.75, 3.59, 3.60 — source, www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/ region/united-states The second amendment recognizes a fundamental civil right.

New coach, new system take shape at spring practice By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Chris Tormey looked right at home on Waterman’s Field during a recent football practice, months ahead of the August start for the fall sport. The first-year Falcon head coach, a former Division I college assistant and head coach, took over the reins in May from Mark Hodson and Andy Davis after more than a decade of their leadership. They stepped down in favor of spending time with their families. Both coaches have children at the high school. Players and coaches are still getting to know each other. After 12 years of one style of coaching, it’s easy to imagine some growing pains. All of South Whidbey’s former assistants resigned as well, leaving a vacuum in the identity and attitude of the Falcon football program. Yet some things have remained the same, according to returning players. Tormey, who coached for the University of Hawaii, has kept South Whidbey’s longstanding tradition of “ohana,” a Hawaiian word for family that is a rallying cry for the Falcons. A new Big Island installation is “aloha Fridays” during the spring practice season when the team has 6 a.m. training Friday. “It shows [us] the people who are dedicated and put in work,” said Parker Collins, who will be a senior next season after taking several snaps at quarterback last year, including in the pigtail playoff game. Collins said Tormey and his assistants have higher expectations for the players to study the new plays and formations outside of the scheduled practice times. That means flipping through the playbook this summer, not just during the football

Chris Tormey, the first-year Falcon football head coach, huddles his team during an early afternoon practice June 5. camps later this month or after they show up for the first day of fall practice Aug. 20. “They expect us to do stuff off the field,” Collins said. For all of the changes, Collins — a tall, pass-first quarterback who does not have the same ability to run the ball as past Falcon quarterbacks — said the team will continue to rely on its running backs on offense. One wrinkle he noted, however, was Tormey’s willingness to adjust to the opposing team’s defensive weakness. If a team’s secondary is vulnerable to passing, then the Falcons will take flight. “He’s getting to know us and our strengths and weaknesses,” Collins said. South Whidbey Athletic Director Kelly Kirk said about 45 Falcons have regularly participated in the spring practices, a positive sign for Kirk. “There’s a lot of kids who have never played football or hadn’t played since

middle school that are coming out,” Kirk said. “Chris is a real kid magnate, all of those years on the recruiting trail, he’s been able to sell kids on the benefits.” Tormey formerly was the defensive coordinator at the University of Wyoming. He may be most famous for being an assistant coach at the University of Washington when it shared the football championship in 1991 under head coach Don James. Football is allotted 20 sport-specific practices before July 31. Kirk said this is one of the first years that the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has regulated spring practice, calling previous years a “free-for-all.” South Whidbey will participate in the football camp hosted by The King’s School, a Cascade Conference and class 1A rival. Kirk said the Falcons may also take part in a passing camp, though that was not decided by press time. The coaching staff was

Chris Tormey not set in stone, however. Kirk described the spring practices as a tryout for the assistants as well, with Tormey inviting several people out to try their hand at coaching with him. “It’s up to him who he wants,” Kirk said. “We’ve had a lot of interest because of who he is and what his knowledge is, people want to soak that up.”

North Whidbey man accused of kidnapping, brutal rape By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record North Whidbey resident Darcy Zook got the scare of a lifetime when police caught a suspect in a brutal rape and kidnapping case hiding in an orchard just outside her doors Saturday. Zook said her neighborhood on Moran Beach Lane was swarming with law enforcement officers from five different agencies as they searched for a suspect. Things became terrifying when a K9 officer from the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office came to her door; he said he had seen a man in a hoodie run across the road and go to her house. He and his dog walked around the house and kept asking her where the man was. “It was really, really scary,” she said, explaining that the officer thought she and her neighbor, who was at her home, were being held captive under threat. Finally, a group of law enforcement officers converged on her property. The officer with the dog went into her apple orchard and dragged out the man who had been hiding there, about 10 feet from her house. The suspect, 50-year-old Douglas Blackburn, was put into handcuffs and taken away.

Jessie Stensland / The Record

North Whidbey resident Douglas Blackburn appears in Island County Superior Court on suspicion of rape and kidnapping. Blackburn appeared in Island County Superior Court on Monday afternoon. Judge Vickie Churchill found probable cause existed to hold him in custody on suspicion of second-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping. Blackburn didn’t make any statements, but continually shook his head. Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said Blackburn’s criminal history includes two felony drug cases and a lengthy misdemeanor history. He was arrested in 2008 for running a methamphetamine lab in the woods near Goss Lake on

South Whidbey. Churchill ordered him held in lieu of $150,000 bail. Deputies were first alerted to the alleged rape and kidnapping by a 911 hang-up call from a Moran Road residence. Dispatchers called the number back and Blackburn allegedly answered and claimed his young daughter had accidentally dialed the emergency number. Deputies responded to the scene to check and found “an extremely upset” 42-yearold woman sitting in a car, according to the report by a detective with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman said she had been in a relationship with Blackburn and had been staying with him in a travel trailer

on the property until she left in April because of domestic violence. She saw him in court Monday, June 9, and went to the trailer with him to retrieve some of her belongings. The woman said Blackburn held her against her will inside the trailer. He allegedly raped her “numerous times” with his hands and many different objects, the report alleges. The woman said she convinced Blackburn to let her go outside Saturday to relieve herself since the trailer didn’t have a working bathroom. He allegedly smeared her fecal matter all over her, the report states. The woman said she talked Blackburn into letting her use a shower in the barn, where she quickly called 911 on a phone in the building. She said he grabbed the phone from her and hung it up, the report states.

Blackburn ran from the scene before deputies arrived. Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office set up a temporary command post and requested assistance from other jurisdictions to search the containment area. Officers from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the Oak Harbor Police Department, the Washington State Patrol, Washington State Parks and the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office responded. Zook said deputies told the neighbors to lock themselves inside their homes during the search, which went on for about an hour and a half. A deputy allowed her to bring her baby ducks outside briefly while being supervised. While it was a frightening experience, Zook said the deputies, particularly the K9 officer, were extremely professional and she’s very happy they got their man.

Business to bring nightlife, beer variety to Bayview Two Whidbey Island residents will bring a bit of nightlife to the South End this week. Taproom@Bayview Corner, a new taproom offering both beer and wine, will open its doors to the public on Friday, June 20, at 4 p.m. at the Bayview Cash Store. Working as an owner/operator team, Damien and Tiffany Cortez plan to offer 12 different craft beers, emphasizing regional brews, and a selection of local red and white wines. “Our business philosophy is local, friendly, fresh, and fun,” said taproom manager Damien Cortez, in a news release. “We want to create an experience for beer and wine enthusiasts by changing our selections on a regular basis, keeping them exciting and new for both our local regulars and Island visitors. In fact, all of our taps will rotate on a seasonal basis.” The couple will keep their new business saucy with more than just a fresh menu, however. A “mug club” is being organized, and members will have access to exclusive merchandise and privileges. They also hope to organize live music, host stand-up comedians and have a television that will play mixed martial arts fighting. Finally, brewery nights with local breweries to showcase their products are also planned. The first will run from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 27, with Scuttlebutt Brewery

Tiffany and Damien Cortez will open Taproom@Bayview Corner this Friday, June 20. from Everett. Goosefoot, the non-profit owner of the historic Cash Store, couldn’t be more pleased to welcome their newest tenant. “The taproom will bring another fun gathering space to the Cash Store,” said Sandra Whiting,

Goosefoot’s executive director. “And, we’ll finally be able to enjoy a beer with the tacos from Tres Gringos.” Taproom@Bayview Corner will stay open later than most and offer specials that may not start until many places are closed. Food

will be available from the Tres Gringos Mexicatessen, located right next door, including a special late night menu available only at the Taproom. Hours are noon to midnight, Monday through Friday; 10:30 a.m. to midnight on Saturdays; and from noon to 7 p.m., Sundays. Damien Cortez said he’s excited about opening the business in a location close to his heart — and his house. “I lived for 10 years in the white farm house across from the food bank, bought hay and horse wormer at Bill’s Feed & Tack, and still live only a mile away,” he said, in the news release. “Needless to say, I have a love for this building and this area.” Damien Cortez has spent time on stage with Whidbey Island Center for the Arts and the Island Shakespeare Festival, and is a former Good Cheer Food Bank coordinator. Tiffany Cortez, the owner of Taproom, was born and raised in Oak Harbor, where her family owns Der Kinderhuis Montessori school and where she has played an important part for 10 years. “I’m excited to become more of a part of this community by owning a local business, and for the opportunity for Damien and I to both fulfill a dream,” she said, in the news release. “This place is everything we could have hoped for.”

It’s the Blieks who have put the “family” in Family Dermatology since its founding in 2011, but it’s the patients who bring the business heart.

While Family Dermatology’s patients include many of an older demographic who, over the years, were exposed to the sun and developed skin cancer, the practice also treats younger people who have common skin conditions. It’s rewarding to have the privilege of treating patients and seeing their smiles when they witness the results, according to the Blieks.

Access angling needs By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record People in the world of getting paralyzed veterans active are excited about a Freeland man’s quest to help them cast a line. Mike Mayes, the fishing guru at Freeland Ace Hardware, has worked for the past several years on a pontoon that can support a couple of power wheel chairs to get disabled veterans on the water. “If you’ve ever been on a boat with one of these kids who’s never been on one before … the look on their face, it almost makes you cry,” Mayes said. Later, he added: “I have more fun doing this than anything else. Doing this, which puts a grin on someone else’s face, is priceless.” Now, the struggle is using that enthusiasm to find people willing to fund Mayes’ startup company, ADA Boats Inc., and convincing disabled veterans to actually get out and onto the boats. “A lot of guys in wheelchairs up until Mike Mayes came along [stayed home]. It’s been pretty difficult to get a guy in a wheelchair that weighs 450 pounds into a boat,” said Mike Davis, the fishing and shooting sports director of Paralyzed Veterans of America’s Northwest Chapter. Two years after unveiling his prototype, the Accessible,

on Lone Lake with Fishing Access Network partner Ralph Brother, Mayes is on the cusp of breaking into full-fledged production with his company ADA Boats Inc. To get some seed money to build a demo boat with a higher weight capacity and show it off at an exposition in San Jose this fall, Mayes started a Kickstarter online fund-raising campaign to raise $15,000. To date, he’s raised about 10 percent of that with two weeks left in the drive. The prospect of getting paraplegic and quadriplegic people out on the water, casting for trout and bass, had Davis buzzing. “I’m pushing his program hard and heavy with the VA [Veterans Administration], and boy do I have a lot of interest,” Davis said. He later added: “I was so sold on it before he even built his first one that I talked our group, the Paralyzed Veterans … into making a really nice donation to Mike so it would propagate his program.” The plywood pontoons measure 15 long, 10 feet wide and 7 feet deep. After some retooling of the prototype, he increased its capacity to 2,000 pounds (a ton) though it takes 7,000 pounds to sink the sturdy box that admittedly gets few points for form but plenty of appreciation for its function. In practice, the pontoon

could take on two paralyzed boaters in power chairs plus a few other people, or four manual chairs with a couple of friends. “The thing can float way more people than we can get on it,” Mayes said. Plenty of precautions were taken to ensure the chair-bound anglers’ safety. Mayes said everyone on his boats, while out with him, is required to wear a personal flotation device; those in wheelchairs would not be buckled to the chair; and the sides of the boats were walled in to prevent any sliding out. Davis and his group were instrumental in providing feedback to Mayes, who made his United States Coast Guard-certified pontoon more stable. “I don’t need it to rock a lot,” Mayes laughed. Mayes’ boats can be built without one of the seat/ storage boxes at the stern, which would allow someone in a wheelchair to operate the motor. He was also considering the possibility of using a remote control for the motor as a means for a paralyzed person to load the boat into the water alone, if they so desired. “[Being] active is mentally healthy, active is pure and simply health for everyone, to get up, get out,” Davis said. “From my experience of having been in the position for so long, out of 300 hundred catastrophically injured individuals, 200 of them will stay home and never go out and do nothing but take care of their bowel system. To have special programs that allow them to get

Boat business If he were to get as few as

five boat orders, each costing about $10,000 and taking as long as eight weeks to build, Mayes said he would go into production with a five-member staff. That would require between 4,000 and 6,000 square feet, and Mayes estimated being able to build 20 boats in the first year of full-scale production, and up to 100 pontoons in the second year, if there were enough orders. Davis, who has worked to get paralyzed veterans out

and about for the past 18 years, said the potential in the pontoons is vast. “This design that Mike Mayes has with his pontoon boats, I don’t know of anybody that’s doing it with the completeness that he’s put to it,” Davis said. “I think he’ll be a leader in the field if we can put together a program where we show that we have people from the VA hospital coming. With some attention, it can take off.”

FERRIES CONTINUED FROM A1

Clinton residents who were eagerly anticipating their first ride on the new boat, and shorter ferrywait lines. “I’m looking forward to seeing it in service as soon as possible, so it can expedite some of our traffic congestion,” said Bob Craven, president of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. “Bumping up [vehicle capacity] by 20 will certainly speed things up,” he added. The Tokitae can carry 144 vehicles, compared to the 124-car capacity of the Issaquah Class boats, MV Cathlamet and MV Kittitas, the former of which will be reassigned to the Fauntleroyto-Vashon route once the new boat begins service on South Whidbey. Sue Ellen White, a Clinton resident, said she wished the state agency had announced the delay sooner, so that those who had made plans to ride the new ferry on Father’s Day would have known ahead of time, but that she also

was looking forward to having a “larger, more efficient” ferry on the Clintonto-Mukilteo route. She attended the vessel’s welcoming ceremony earlier this month, and complimented the Tokitae’s aesthetics, calling it a “gorgeous boat.”

for additional funding to bolster ferry staff on the route. Doing so would allow ferries to open the Tokitae’s uppermost sun deck to the public, and better ensure that runs aren’t scrubbed when an employee doesn’t show up for work. Capacci said the sun deck will be closed off due to U.S. Coast Guard requirements, which mandate a crew of 14 rather the boat’s existing complement of 12. “I’d like to have the sun deck open, but I don’t have the funding authority to do that,” he said. Two more 144-car ferries, currently under construction and destined for the Seattle-to-Bremerton and Anacortes-to-San Juan routes, won’t have that problem he said, as they have crews of 14. Capacci noted that crew numbers in Clinton could change if the state allocated the funding to do so. Whatever happens, he said he was very pleased with the Tokitae. “It’s a good ship and will fit into our system very well,” Capacci said.

She also noted that it’s a monument for a locally built ferry that will serve the community that put it together. “Often they go somewhere else, so this is especially meaningful,” White said. The ferry’s superstructure was constructed by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders in Freeland. It was barged to Seattle and completed by Vigor Industrial. White added that she hopes the legislature and the public will lobby

J.C. May, pictured above, will speak about non-native plants at a workshop at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 21 at South Whidbey Tilth’s land on Thompson Road and Highway 525.

Tilth gets ready to get dirty at weed workshop Some non-native plants cause problems, but there are ways to manage them. South Whidbey Tilth will hold a workshop on the topic from 10:30 a.m.

Music for the Eyes

to noon Saturday, June 21, on the organization’s land on Thompson Road and Highway 525. There will be a classroom session followed by a

chance to see various invasive plants and learn handson methods to safely and effectively remove them, specifically those that do not involve the use of commonly used environmentally harmful chemicals. Tilth’s own chief weed control person, J.C. May, will share personal tips, answer questions and demonstrate how he controls non-native plant species on Tilth’s 10-acre land, such as Himalayan blackberry, Scots-broom, Canadian thistle, yellow tansy, English ivy and holly and poison hemlock. These plants can be harmful in a number of ways. Some grow so aggressively that they can crowd out the native landscape that provides food as well as nesting places and habitat for wildlife. Some can take over pastures, and yellow tansy is toxic to domestic grazing livestock. Ivy can choke and kill trees. Most are on the county’s noxious weed list, requiring landowner control. For details, call Tilth Education Coordinator Mike Seraphinoff at 360544-2278. Cost is $10 or free to Tilth members.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
