Greenbank Farm to be electric car charging site By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Pretty soon electric cars will have a free charging station in Central Whidbey. Port of Coupeville commissioners gave the OK last week to begin installation of an electric vehicle charging station at the Greenbank Farm. The installation is part of the Greebank Community Solar project and is being done at no cost to the port. While electricity to the charging station doesn’t directly come from the field of solar panels generating power at the farm, the station will be a part of the overall system.

A family of deer, including a white fawn, blend in perfectly with the surroundings after wandering into Kevin Griggs’ sculpture garden in Coupeville in late May. The white fawn, shown below in early June, is garnering plenty of attention in town. ‘She kind of glows,’ Debora Kulas said.

Fawning over white deer By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

The sight of a fawn in and of itself is enough to warm one’s heart. Around Coupeville this time of year, it’s not uncommon to spot fawns tagging closely next to their mothers. Spotting a white fawn, on the other hand, is an entirely different experience. One that’s only a few weeks old has been seen wandering into neighborhoods and winning over hearts in Coupeville this month. “It’s such a bright white,” said Debora Kulas, who sees the white fawn regularly near her home with its normal, tan-colored twin and their mother. “It really is stunning. It really catches your eye. You think, ‘Did I really see what I thought I saw?’ ” Deer with white coloring in its fur or white spots are referred to as piebald deer, said Ruth Milner, a biologist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The white coloration isn’t a sign of a health condition. It’s caused by a genetic recessive trait, Milner said. “If they’re clearly all white, then they’re a true albino, then it’s albinism,” said Milner. “That’s probably not the case. True albinos usually don’t survive.” Milner confirmed after examining a pho-

Debora Kulas photo

tograph that the Coupeville fawn is piebald, which really is a fancy term for “spotted,” she said. “If you look at this guy closely, he’s got a lot of brown mixed in,” she said. “He’s got brown eyes and a brown nose. If he was albino, he wouldn’t have any dark pigmentation.” White deer are no strangers to deer-friendly Coupeville, but a white fawn gets the town talking. Kevin Griggs said it’s only the second white fawn he’s seen in 22 years living in the town. And he’s experienced a couple upclose encounters. “We get a lot of deer coming through our yard all the time,” Griggs said. “That mom

and her two babies have come through a couple times. They seem to be a new family to the area. “It was interesting to see that it had a twin that was not all white like its sibling — a normal-colored one and a white one I thought was pretty rare.” Kulas, a longtime wildlife photographer, said there’s a stag in Coupeville that is half white that carries the recessive gene. When paired together with a mate that has a similar recessive trait, the result can be the little white fawn that is drawing attention in Coupeville, Milner said. “He’s a cute little bugger,” Kulas said. “I don’t know if it’s a male or female.” The mother and her fawns just waltz into yards in the neighborhood and graze. “He’s real bouncy and real active,” Kulas said of the white deer. “She’s having a hard time keeping the two of them together.”

Traffic snarls expected with summer road construction By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Beware Whidbey Island drivers. It’s going to be a busy year for roadwork and next year won’t be any better. A $4.7-million state project to make safety improvements on State Highway 20 at the Island County transfer station near Coupeville started this week. Workers are focusing on Parker Road for now, but work on the highway may start as soon as next week, according to Dave Crisman, the project engineer for the state Department of Transportation. The highway will be down to one lane in the area as the contractor starts saw-cutting to widen the highway. Drivers should

Hospital unveils new WhidbeyHealth signs By Debra Vaughn Staff Reporter

With a few pulls of a string, a purple sign with the new name of the hospital was revealed Monday morning in Coupeville: WhidbeyHealth Medical Center. WhidbeyHealth is now officially the umbrella name for the hospital and its services and clinics. “Health care is changing

and so must we,” Chief Executive Officer Geri Forbes told a small crowd gathered for the unveiling. Officials invited 98-yearold Jean Sherman to help with the unveiling. She and her husband were some of the local community members who helped start the hospital. Also present were a 7-day-old baby boy born at the hospital and Chris-

tina Young, a physician’s assistant, also born at the hospital formerly known as Whidbey General. Hospital officials hope the change will make it easier for the public to identify and use the multiple services and clinics operated by the Whidbey Island Public Hospital District. The idea went over like a lead balloon with the public when it was introduced last

Agencies hold disaster training By Debra Vaughn Staff Reporter

The Deception Pass Bridge is impassable. Ferries can’t dock. Major roads all across Whidbey Island are blocked. Power lines are down and so is the Internet. Experts say it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when” a magnitude 9.0 megaquake, followed by a tsunami, will strike the West Coast. The result will be widespread damage and casualties. Here on Whidbey Island, we’ll face the extra challenge of potentially being cut off from the mainland. Emergency and military personnel from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island last week practiced how to handle that worst-case scenario as part of a large, multi-state drill dubbed “Cascadia Rising.” The exercise is the biggest of its kind conducted in the Pacific Northwest. On Whidbey Island, most of it happened out of public view and began with a pretend megaquake. In Coupeville, the town’s Neighborhood Emergency Team conducted its own disaster drill June 9 as part of the larger exercise. It consisted of 35 NET members checking on neighbors, registering damage reports and managing a volunteer reception center. Local HAM radio operators helped facilitate long-range communica-

NAS Whidbey set up its own temporary operation center in tents on base. Workers from multiple agencies practiced how to work together to assess the damages and fix problems such as blocked roads and downed lines, said Eric Brooks, who runs

the Department of Emergency Management for the county. “We’re trying to restore the infrastructure and help our island community,” he said. Last week, workers practiced setting up a shelter in Freeland, at the Trinity Lutheran Church, and set up a volunteer reception center in Coupeville to deal with mobilizing those who could help after a disaster. They also practiced receiving medical supplies dropped by an Army National Guard Black Hawk helicopter in the empty field behind the City of Oak Harbor’s municipal shop. Preparing for a natural disaster isn’t a one-time event in Island County.

Brooks said he is planning for quarterly drills. The Navy also participated under its own operational name for the exercise, “Citadel Rumble.” “My first priority is to take care of our base facilities and military members and their families following a natural disaster and to get the base up to full operational capability as quickly as possible,” said NAS Whidbey commanding officer Capt. Geoff Moore. While getting NAS Whidbey back on its feet and operable after a disaster is the skipper’s first priority, Moore said the Navy will be ready to help the surrounding communities. Officials at the Navy base have the authority in a disaster to help immediately “to save lives, prevent human suffering or mitigate great property damage,” he said. The Navy works with civilian agencies to prepare for natural disasters and considers what local communities might need. For instance, the outlying field in Coupeville used for jet carrier landing practice could be used as a staging area for local community relief efforts. “We put ourselves through as rigorous an exercise as possible to maximize preparations for such events,” he said. “The bottom line is the better we train, the more effective we will be when it really counts.”

Boat runs aground with Scouts aboard By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

One of Whidbey Island’s most famous boats made headlines Sunday when it ran aground in the San Juan islands with a troop of Coupeville Boys Scouts aboard. The Cutty Sark, a 58-foot, wooden-hulled ketch often seen — and admired — in Penn Cove, ran aground on “Bird Rock” north of Shaw Island, according to John Stone, Coupeville resident and captain of the boat. The incident had a relatively happy ending, which Stone credits to the professionalism of the Coast Guard, a boat-towing company and the adult leaders of Troop 4058. Nobody was injured, the boat is in good shape and the kids have a great story to tell. “The only damage was to the fresh-water pump,” he said. “And my pride.” Through the nonprofit Aeolian Adventures, Stone takes students on free educational cruises in the San Juan Islands each summer. On Sunday, the group was headed back to dry land when the unexpected happened. Stone explained that the boat was under power in the channel when it struck rock with a sudden jolt. He first checked to make sure everyone was OK and then called the Coast Guard for help. The first Coast Guard boat, a 29-foot vessel out of Bellingham, was there within 10 minutes, he said. The Coast Guard crew was impressed that everyone aboard was wearing lifejack-

ets, Stone added. Chief Warrant Officer Chuck Chavtur, commanding officer of the Coast Guard station in Bellingham, said the Cutty Sark was listing pretty badly when the crew members arrived, so responders moved as quickly as they could to get the 10 children off the boat; two adult leaders went with them as well while two stayed with Stone. The 87-foot Coast Guard cutter Adelie happened to be in the area, so the boys got to go aboard the big boat. Stone said they seemed especially excited about watching the movie “Shrek 2” on the boat. The Coast Guard was nice enough to bring the kids to Cornet Bay on North Whidbey for happy reunions with their families. “It’s kind of nice for us to be able to get out and help people,” Chavtur said. Stone and two Boy Scout leaders ended up staying on the Cutty Sark for more than 10 hours. The grounding occurred at the stroke of high tide so they had to wait for the next tide to get free. During that time the boat listed enough that it took on water, submerging the engine room and ruining the freshwater pump. Chavtur said it’s pretty common for boats to run aground. The Coast Guard receives calls of boats aground about once a week in the San Juans alone. He said his crews don’t usually get involved unless people or the environment are at risk.

Why is alcohol OK, but marijuana not? Editor, According to the May 19 issue of The Examiner, the Town of Coupeville is eyeing the ban on pot businesses. Councilwoman Pat Powell even says she’s “in favor of prohibition,” stating it’s not right for our town. A 1,000-foot buffer zone is even at question. Yet, the town approves and celebrates the opening of the tap room right across the street from our grade school. So, we don’t want to prohibit alcohol sales or consumption near our children and grandchildren, but we do want to prohibit the selling/buying of pot even if it’s a great distance from “sensitive areas”? Would it make a difference if the pot shop also sold sandwiches or had bands playing? Trivia game nights? Seriously, why is it okay to have what is little more than a bar across the street from our school, but it’s hells bells come talk of a pot shop nowhere near the school?

Thanks for letting Lions serve at event Editor, The Central Whidbey Lions appreciate all parade goers and community members who stopped by our tents after the Memorial Parade on May 28 and thanked us for preparing and handing out free hot dogs, bottled water and ice cream treats. We want to acknowledge that all food items were donated by Central Whidbey Lions Club member Ken Hofkamp who owns Prairie Center Red Apple in Coupeville. Besides donating the food, Ken also assisted in the setup. Despite rain and wind that threatened to blow away the tents, almost 400 hot dogs were distributed by the time the sun finally put in an appearance. Thank you, Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, for letting us participate in this event to support our troops and thank our veterans.

remaining members will be eager, as always, to appoint a like-minded person to continue the practice, since 2008, of never having a dissenting vote cast at a board meeting. By so doing, the board allows our increasingly dictatorial hospital administration to operate free of all restraints, checks and balances. The remaining board members are all between 69 and 74 years old; while they keep saying they’d like to attract someone youthful, they keep appointing their old cronies and political allies who then later run for election, usually unopposed, as incumbents. If you are an independent thinking, community minded citizen who resides in District 5 (north or east of Oak Harbor), I urge you to apply right away. Then, let’s closely scrutinize the selection process, and see if the board desires to remain the insular, non-transparent and non-diverse group it’s become over the last decade.

No better candidate than Price Johnson Editor, I am writing in support of the re-election of Helen Price Johnson for District 1 Island

County commissioner. Helen has served her district and all of Island County with distinction and deserves another term of office to continue to work on behalf of the best interests of her district and Island County. Helen is involved in the community. She attends enough community meetings to tire the most energetic person. If she says she will follow through in response to a request, she does it. She is not afraid to tackle issues big and small as shown by her tenacity on such issues as restricting the lighting of other than safe and sane fireworks around the Fourth of July, maintaining the Wonn Road public access, working with the sheriff’s office to address the theft of equipment at construction sites, or working with the Port District of South Whidbey and the City of Mukilteo to develop a site(s) for overnight parking in that city. All of these issues are ones that take understanding, listening, patience and perseverance to see the community’s will addressed. There is no better person than Helen, who exemplifies these qualities. We in District 1 are fortunate to have Helen as our Commissioner. I hope all of you will vote for her in the August primary election.

Native American carver hopes to build studio By Justin Burnett South Whidbey Record

Nathan Gilles is an artist. His medium is wood, his focus Native American carving. He makes bowls, masks, drums, boxes, hand tools — pretty much anything in the genre. He even made a traditional dugout canoe once, which you may have seen. It’s been on display in front of the museum in Coupeville for years. But it’s totem poles that are Gilles’ specialty. Over the past two decades, he’s worked on nearly 30, either as a solo artist or in a team. He holds an art education decree with a Native American education speciality, is skilled in all seven totem pole styles, and would be considered by most as a “master,” though it’s not a title he prefers. There are only a few dozen carvers in the region, he says, and each has their own approach. “It’s like a visual language,” said Gilles, in his makeshift workshop off Maxwelton Road. “It’s like a dance.” Such artists shouldn’t be marginalized with superflu-

ask all the old guys questions,” he said. Gilles would later spend years as a high school art teacher on the reservation, and polishing his skills working for master carvers such as Jamestown’s Dale Faulstich in the House of Mythes, and others around Puget Sound. His long efforts have paid off. He’s developed a name in the business, both in a professional and literal sense; he is Too-sem’-tian, an ancestral Samish name that embodies a lineage of past tribal carvers. It’s a moniker he will retain until his death. His work also appears to be in some demand, particularly with the Jamestown S’Klallam. They scooped up his most recent piece, a traditional entrance pole with a hole near the bottom, almost immediately. “Within 24 hours after getting it done I got it sold, so I’m pretty excited it didn’t sit around as yard-art,” he joked. Totem pole prices can vary, but professionals typically charge between $3,000 and $5,000 per linear foot, Gilles said. This one is 12.5 feet long. Gilles plans to use some

Nathan Gilles works on a cedar mask in his makeshift workshop off Maxwelton Road. He hopes to make a permanent longhouse-style studio where he can work and hold classes on Native American art. ous characterizations of skill, he says. Even with all his experience, it was only in the past few years that Gilles reached a skill level where he can consistently and effectively communicate emotion. It was an important milestone, one that took more than 20 years of study to accomplish. Most of Gilles’ totem poles were created for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, a smaller tribe that’s invested heavily in traditional art.

Gilles’ work can be found in the Jamestown Tribal Center, 7 Cedars Casino and at Jamestown Tribal Medical Center. “I have great respect for him and his talents,” said Jerry Allen, CEO of 7 Cedar Resorts and Properties. “Nathan’s contribution has been fantastic,” he added. Gilles spent his early youth in the Midwest but is a South Whidbey High School graduate. He’d always had an interest in Native American

culture, but he got hooked after meeting a few artists from the Lummi Nation who visited South End schools. He attended Western Washington University and received a teaching degree with an emphasis in art. There was no program that focused on his specific area of interest, however, so he spent time on the Lummi reservation and the Northwest Indian College gleaning whatever he could. “I had to go around and

of the money from the sale to build a longhouse-style studio at his home in Maxwelton. He returned to South Whidbey a few years ago to help his father, Greg Gilles, start Seven Generations Artisan Meats, a home-based butchery. The business was put on temporary hold — the men were sidetracked with other projects — and Nathan Gilles has used the refrigerated cooler as a make-do workshop. The new studio will be a place where he can work, sell his art and teach. Passing on what he’s learned is something he’s looking forward to. He’s a teacher at heart, and the art form is rare, having seen a resurgence only in the past 50 or so years. “There are probably as many artists working now as there were in historic times,” he said. “But there’s still none that have reached the masterfulness of 200 years ago. There’s still so much to learn.” His hope is to begin construction this summer and be open for business before the end of the year, though he may begin teaching classes immediately if he can find a temporary and suitable location.

STATION: Farm getting electric car charger From page 1 The farm can also use electricity from the station during events, though while doing so only one car can be charged at a time. Before approving the installation, Commissioner William Bell questioned the location of the station, which will require losing two regular parking spots. Kelly Keilwitz, who owns Whidbey Sun and Wind, said the location was determined because it was near an outbuilding that was powered. And the economic benefits far outweigh losing two regular parking spots. Electric cars are a culture. The cars generally come equipped with apps

that indicate where charging stations are located so needed signage is minimal. The economic benefit, Keilwitz said, is from the people who will stop to charge their cars for half an hour or an hour; hopefully they’ll wander around the farm, shop and maybe have a bite to eat. Commissioners approved the installation, but said they’d like to see some kind of meter system included so the port can access statistical data on how frequently the station is used. “We look forward to getting this installed by the summer driving season, said Kevin Mass, of Glacier Energy Inc., who represents the community solar project.

A judge may make a decision this summer on the ownership of a small piece of beachfront property in Greenbank that’s been in litigation for three years. The Island County prosecutor, representing the county, filed a renewed motion for summary judgment on June 2 in the lawsuit against Alan and Joanne Montgomery. The couple built a stone wall at the end of Wonn Road in 2008, claiming that they own the property that residents had long used to access the beach.

State law dictates that road ends that end in water are public access points, but the Montgomerys have a deed for the property. Island County filed the lawsuit against the Montgomerys in 2013. The couple successfully had the case moved from Island County to Skagit County Superior Court. The prosecutor’s motion asks the judge to find that the county is the rightful owner of the property. The county’s action follows a motion for summary judgment by Island Beach Access, a group that advocates for public beach access and has intervener status

routes,” Crisman said. The contractor will only be able to close a lane on Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The work is scheduled to be finished in the first week of August. The project will add a leftturn lane at the transfer station, widen the shoulders on the highway, realign Parker Road to connect with Morris Road, close the intersection of Smith Prairie Road and the highway, and add turn lanes on the highway at Morris Road. Elsewhere, Dike Road on North Whidbey is closed for wetland mitigation work. The Department of Transportation is building a new dike and road during the threemonth project, which should

be completed by August. Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works, said the county also has a lot of work scheduled for county roads, but none of it will be as disruptive as the state projects. Much of the county work is part of the “pavement preservation program,” which consists of seal coats, maintenance pavement and construction pavement. Oakes pointed out that the state has ambitious plans for paving projects on Highway 20 and Highway 525 next year, which is sure to gum up traffic. He compares the maintenance work to tearing off a Band-Aid. “If they do all this work, they won’t be back for awhile,” he said, “but it still hurts.”

In 2013, the judge denied the county’s original motion for summary judgment as well as the Montgomerys’ motions to dismiss the lawsuit. The Montgomerys offered the county a settlement earlier this year, but the county commissioners declined to accept it. The couple has yet to file an answer to either motion for summary judgment. They may also file a summary judgment motion of their own. A hearing on both motions is scheduled for June 30. If the motions are denied, the matter will likely go to jury trial scheduled for Oct. 11.

in the lawsuit. Prosecutor Greg Banks said Island County’s motion for summary judgment focuses on the chain of title of the real estate. He said the county traced the Montgomerys’ deed back in time and found that it seemed to “pop up out of nowhere.” Island Beach Access, however, relied on supposed new evidence in its motion. The evidence, the group claims, includes the fact that the couple received a settlement from their title insurance company for an anticipated loss of privacy when the county is found to own the disputed land.
