Patton vies for port seat By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

It looks like Jim Patton can’t get enough of the Port of Coupeville. Around the time he finishes his tenure as the executive director of the small port district, he will find out if voters want him to serve on its board of commissioners. The longtime executive director Monday afternoon filed for candidacy for a spot on the three-member elected body. Incumbent Benye Weber isn’t able to run for a third term because redistricting in the wake of the 2010 census moved her home into a different district. She had also stated she didn’t want to serve another six-year term anyway. Patton, who has served for eight-anda-half years as executive director, said he wants to continue Weber’s work she’s tackled serving the Port of Coupeville. “I have been completely in awe of her ability to stay on message,” Patton said. He noted that a comprehensive plan See Patton, page 12

Councilman passes on another term By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Coupeville Town Council member Larry Cort decided against running for election this year. “It came down to a time issue,” Cort said Monday. “It was a really tough decision.” Cort was appointed to the Coupeville Town Council in October, 2011 to fill a vacancy created when Tom Tack resigned. Since that time, Cort’s responsibilities working for the city of Oak Harbor has changed. He became city administrator for Oak Harbor, which required a greater time commitment and attendance at more night meetings. Cort has a history working for cities on Whidbey Island. He was a planner in Coupeville, Langley and Oak Harbor before taking his current position as city administrator in Oak Harbor. See Election, page 12

Hospital bond in the works Staff directed to gather information for new plan for remodel and expansion project By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Leaders at Whidbey General Hospital are gathering information to possibly run a new bond that would pay for renovating and expanding the hospital’s Coupeville campus. Hospital commissioner Ron Wallin proposed during Monday’s hospital board meeting that hospital administration re-evaluate a bond that taxpayers would have to approve to finance the project. Voters in May 2011 rejected a $50 million bond proposal that would have funded construction of a new wing. Even though more than 55 percent of voters supported the proposal, it still fell short of the 60 percent supermajority needed for approval. Wallin said Whidbey Island’s population is increasing. He added that construction would take two-to-three years to complete, which would make the medical surgical wing at the hospital nearly 50 years old. “We have no doubts about the need for a

new inpatient wing. We have the right plans and the right people in place to realize this vision,” Wallin said during the meeting. “Our community tells us in their patient satisfaction surveys that an upgrade is sorely needed.” Wallin advocated placing a proposal on the November general election. Commissioner Grethe Cammermeyer questioned whether there would be enough time for people to consider the bond if the bond ran in the fall. She recommended possibly holding off on such a proposal until February. Whidbey General Hospital CEO Tom Tomasino said he doesn’t know the dollar amount

yet of the proposal. He said he is going to reexamine the 2011 proposal along with researching construction costs, market conditions and housing prices to come up with a new proposal. A volunteer group has yet to form to help promote the bond to Whidbey voters. If voters had approved the bond in 2011, it would have paid for construction of a new wing on the south side of the hospital’s campus. That new wing would have housed 39 single-patient rooms, which would have replaced the current 34 beds housed in double rooms. Wallin said there aren’t many details yet about the new bond, but that information will be shared with the public once the bond details become available. “The public wants the facts and figures,” Wallin said.

Mayor to give ‘State of the Town’ address Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard will give her annual “State of the Town” address 6 p.m. Monday at Christopher’s on Whidbey. Attendees will dine on heavy hors d’oeuvre prior to the presentation. Conard said she will give an overview of the town’s economic indicators — sales tax, hotel/motel tax and real estate tax. Those are usually a good indicator of how the town is doing, she said. Conard will also discuss current capital projects, construction projects and challenges the town faces. One of those challenges, she said, is finding the best way to provide police service to the community.

Anonymous statue cleaner remains a mystery The members of the Coupeville Garden Club are still wondering who took time to clean a statue at Cook Corner Park located on North Main Street near the town’s historic downtown. Whoever cleaned the statue did a great job. Garden club members want to thank the good samaritan. “Somebody just wants to be private about it,” Coupeville Garden Club member Mary Dent said. “It’s either that or they’re still out of town.” Several weeks ago, club members noticed

Port selects Diamanti to replace Blankenship New official faces election on fall ballot By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Commissioners for the Port of Coupeville appointed Mike Diamanti May 8 to fill a vacancy left by Laura Blankenship when she announced her resignation last month. Diamanti ran for the post in November 2011; however Blankenship garnered more than 59 percent of the vote. He said the new position is an opportunity “to drill down and be more deeply involved with all aspects of

the port.” He will be sworn in during the commissioners June meeting. The Port of Coupeville oversees operations of the Greenbank Farm and the Coupeville Wharf. He said he wants to help with the day-to-day operations and tackle the maintenance of the port’s facilities, which is an issue he admits isn’t glamorous, but it’s an issue that needs to be done. He has been active with the Port of Coupeville for Several years. Diamanti from 2005-2007 volunteered on the Port of Coupeville’s Comprehensive Plan Committee. He also served as chairman of the committee that conducted a review in 2010 of the plan. Also in 2010, he compiled a fuel sales and moorage report.

Nathan Whalen photo

Greenbank resident Mike Diamanti was recently appointed commissioner for the Port of Coupeville. He replaces Laura Blankenship. The information Diamanti compiled prompted the commissioners to implement

new policies in respect to fuel sales and moorage fees. Diamanti was the only

person to apply for the vacancy. Diamanti has had several positions since he moved to Whidbey Island in 1988. He has served as executive director for the Central Whidbey Youth Coalition, was recently the manager at the Inn at Penn Cove and he is currently an occupational medicine technician for a company in Anacortes. In addition to his service to the Port of Coupeville, he has volunteered for the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County, South Whidbey Hearts and Hammers, and the Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce. Blankenship was a little more than a year into her six-year term when she re-

signed. Even though Diamanti was appointed to her seat, he will have to run for election this November. He said in his application letter that he intends to run for the seat this year. If elected he will serve out the remaining two years on Blankenship’s term. Her seat isn’t the only one up for election this year. Weber can’t and doesn’t want to run for a third term, leaving a vacancy on the board this fall. People interested in running for elected office can still file their candidacy with the Island County Auditor’s Office in Coupeville. Deadline to file for public office is 4 p.m. Friday.

Port considers reducing terms By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville will start talking next month about possibly reducing the length of term they serve. Members of the threemember board currently serve six years, but because of recent legislation that was approved by the state, they are considering reducing the term to four years. “It’s a real stumbling block for recruiting people to

these positions,” Port Commissioner Benye Weber said during the May 8 Port of Coupeville meeting. Weber is finishing her second term on the Port of Coupeville. Port of Coupeville Executive Director Jim Patton said the commissioners should give some thought about changing the terms. The voters ultimately have to sign off on any change in the commissioner terms. A decision to place a proposal on the ballot for the November election has to be made by Aug. 6.

He added that if the proposal is approved, it wouldn’t affect the terms of the current commissioners. The Port of Coupeville is able to put a proposal on the ballot to reduce the terms in

office because of legislation that was signed into law by the governor at the conclusion of the recent session. The ballot measure has to be approved by a simple majority.

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, May 16, 2013

Public service requires public involvement Next week, Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard will deliver her annual “State of the Town” address. She will speak 6 p.m. Monday at Christopher’s restaurant on Megan Hansen Coveland Street. Some perspective During her presentation Conard will talk about sales and lodging taxes and how those are a good indicator of how the town is doing financially. Conard said she will also be discussing new and ongoing projects, as well as challenges the town faces in the coming year. If you haven’t reserved your seat for the event, you have until Friday afternoon. Tickets are purchased from the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. Not only is it important for elected officials to remain transparent and communicative, but it’s important for their citizens to be informed and active participants in the governing process. Filing Week is underway statewide, and it offers a good opportunity for those interested in public service to jump on board and run for office. Several new candidates as well as some incumbents have already filed. Coincidently, deadline to file for office is Friday. Candidates must file by 4 p.m. at the Island County Auditor’s Office. For those who don’t want to or cannot run for office, there are other ways to participate in the process. Attend council and government board meetings, volunteer for a committee or stand up and speak up about an issue you feel passionately about. Conard and the rest of the town council meet 6:30 p.m. the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the Island County Hearing Room. Public involvement helps to ensure government accountability and that the voice of the people is being heard. Public officials are elected to represent everyone. In fairness, they cannot do the best job possible if they don’t hear from those they serve. It’s up to us to each of us to be involved, informed and speak up. — Megan Hansen is editor of The Whidbey Examiner. She can be reached at mhansen@whidbeynewsgroup. com

Whidbey need not be Alcatraz for animals Editor, Recently I attended a conference where a fellow attendee joked that I live on Alcatraz for animals because, “You don’t have any model programs in place.” His region qualified for Maddie’s Funds after adopting the Asilomar Accords, a nationally recognized system of animal data reporting. “Since 1999, Maddie’s Fund has awarded animal welfare organizations and universities $118 million to save animal lives,” according to their site. But no one qualifies without adopting the Asilomar Accords and developing formal collaborations among shelters, rescues, government entities, and the veterinary community in a defined region. While this is happening in regions all around us, can it happen here? Our four different animal control/ sheltering contractors do not use the Asilomar Accords or even provide the same consistent data to the county Animals cannot be tracked through any centralized database from the time they enter the county system to their ultimate disposition (information vital for needs assessments for grants). Our county does not have an animal control and care director, department

or citizens advisory board for animal control and care, like its noxious weed board, for example. Despite requests, our commissioners have not approved a return home policy for licensed pets that would encourage license sales to underwrite badly needed programs like subsidized low-cost spay neuter. We have an overpopulation of feral cats, and no programs in place to reduce their numbers humanely. People have to leave the island to find low-cost spay/neuter services for the public. The soon to be lone public shelter on Whidbey is substandard and located near a methane venting system that’s illegal in other states due to safety and environmental concerns. There are private, state and federal grants available for public shelters, but no one has applied for them There is no viable licensing program to support animal control and care. Just think: if 20,000 pets got licenses at $10 every year and those pets got a guaranteed ride home if lost, this would also help reduce shelter overcrowding. Buying a license is confusing, and the benefits unclear. The county renews contracts year after year without seeking real public input or exploring innovations. There is no stray pet Facebook page to help owners find their pets faster before losing their ownership rights.

The county system is so fractured, it isn’t even clear who would put up such a page, which is free and reduces needless sheltering costs to taxpayers when animals are claimed faster. The Camano Island animal control contractor quit due to lack of funds and the position remains unfilled; animal control officers don’t even have microchip readers in their vans to help animals get home faster. The commissioners say responsibility lies with the sheriff and the sheriff’s office says responsibility is the commissioners. Elsewhere, with the support of their governments, coalitions have made it happen like the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland. It consists of animal welfare organizations and the veterinary community – meeting regularly to collaborate on spay/neuter programs; adoption, fostering, licensing and outreach efforts, as well as “the promotion of humane alternatives” for feral cats. Was it easy? No, but they put differences aside to work on common goals. Efforts here have been met with reluctance, resistance, and even ridicule. So it does beg the question – is this Alcatraz for Animals? I hope not.

Gotta pick the seeds before the vegetables toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel A buck for an ear of corn? Two bucks for one red or yellow bell pepper? If grocery store prices are the primary reason you want to put in a veggie patch, don’t let your emotions get the better of you when you’re ready to select the seeds you’ll need. Corn and peppers are great,

but do you really want to devote all your resources to only a few high-ticket items? What about some of those less expensive vegetables, like carrots, that don’t usually make us faint at the checkout counter but always taste sweeter just pulled from the ground and with a dusting of garden soil as added flavoring? If you’re new to vegetable gardening and haven’t before paged through a seed catalogue – either in print or online – I encourage you to do so, even if you plan on purchasing seeds locally. It will give you a good idea as to what you have to choose from,

and it will probably inspire you to try some veggies you hadn’t considered before. One thing I guarantee is you’re going to feel a little bit like Dorothy when she opened her door to the colorful Land of Oz. Whether you have a list of a hundred plants you want to grow or just a few dozen, you should sketch out a planting plan. This will be a big help as you come to terms with the fact that unless you’re Dr. Who from the long-running British television series, your garden will never be bigger on the inside of the fence than it is outside. You’re going to need to

maximize your space. Don’t always think in rows. There is no law that says every carrot and beet must line up perfectly from one end of the garden to the other. Break your plot up into raised beds of varying sizes to fit the requirements of the plants and match the yield you’re hoping for. If trees block the sun for part of the day, put your tall crops in the back. Make sense? Pumpkins and squash can use up a lot of space, but you can sometimes artfully arrange their vines around other crops, like corn and pole beans. Lighter viney fruits like cucumbers can sometimes be

grown upwards on a trellis or netting. The same for snow peas, which tend to sprawl. Don’t plant everything all at once. Stagger leaf lettuce and radishes and you’ll have them all summer long. Plus, with leaf lettuce you can pick what you need and the plant will continue to produce more leaves. Not so with head lettuce. Don’t grow something no one is going to eat. You and I may love Brussels sprouts and broccoli, but do you want to spend the entire summer with your 9-year-old sullenly rolling his eyes? Introducing kids to new foods is a laudable goal, but add a few things

they’ll be excited to eat and to watch grow. Radishes are always a good choice because they pop up almost overnight and mature quickly. And getting the kids involved in gardening makes it a fun family activity. (And less work for you!) Need another reason to grow your own? Those expensive red, orange and yellow peppers at the store are just ordinary green bell peppers that have fully ripened.

Wolves pick up win in district softball tournament By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

The Coupeville High School softball team’s offense returned from vacation just in time to help the Wolves pick up a win in the district tournament at Sedro-Woolley’s Janiki Fields Friday and Saturday. The Wolves finished the regular season by scoring only one run on seven hits in their final two games. The bats continued to be on leave, getting just two hits as Coupeville lost 2-0 to Lynden Christian in the tournament opener. When Meridian scored four runs in the first inning of the second round, loser-out game, the Wolves looked to be in deep trouble. But the offense finally returned back to work, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to pull out a 5-4 win. Coupeville, needing to win one more game to earn a tri-district berth, generated some offense against No. 1 seeded Blaine but couldn’t slow the Borderites, losing 9-5 Saturday.

Lynden Christian pitcher Bridget Kruck faced only one hitter over the minimum. LC, which had only four hits itself off pitchers McKayla Bailey and Maria Rockwell, scored in the fifth on a leadoff walk and two-out single. In the seventh, a walk, sacrifice and a wild pitch produced the second run. In Friday’s second game, Meridian exploded for four runs in the first inning. After three runs had crossed, Bailey took over in the circle for Coupeville. The first batter she faced grounded into a fielder’s choice, scoring the Trojans’ fourth run, then she, along with an errorless defense, kept Meridian off the board the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Coupeville’s offense continued to put zeros on the board. Then came the fifth. The inning started with a strikeout, then Haley Sherman boarded on an error. Chevy Reyes and Madi Roberts singled to load the bases. After a force out at the plate, Bessie Walstad, Rockwell and Hailey Hammer hit consecutive doubles to score five

D’Almeida places 3rd in tennis Coupeville High School’s Amanda d’Almeida finished third in the district tennis tournament Thursday and Saturday at South Whidbey High School, just missing a berth in the tri-district tournament.

on. Singles by Rockwell and Hammer plated two runs. Blaine responded by scoring twice in the bottom half, then took the lead with a run in the third. Coupeville, which left two runners stranded in the

Dropped into the consolation bracket, d’Almeida stopped Abbi Steele of Nooksack Valley 6-1, 6-0 and Blaine’s Saskia Dolk 6-1, 7-5. That put d’Almeida in the match for second place with Carly Newman; Newman won 6-1, 7-6(7-3). Coupeville coach Ken Stange called the win over Dolk “perhaps Amanda’s best win of the season.” In other singles action, senior Iris Rychaert lost 6-1, 6-0 and 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. In doubles, seniors Holly Craggs and Emily Gallahar lost 6-0, 6-3 and 6-1, 4-6, 6-2. Freshmen Samantha Martin and Sydney Autio dropped their matches 6-0, 6-0 and 6-1, 6-0.

Track qualifies 6 for tri-district

Six individuals and four relay teams from Coupeville High School qualified for the tridistrict track meet after qualifying at the district meet at Lynden Christian High School Friday, May 10. The tri-district finals are today and Saturday at King’s High School. Madison Tisa-McPhee won the 100 hurdles (16.26) and 300 hurdles (48.31) to pace the Wolves, while Makana Stone placed second in the 200 (26.95). For the boys, Brandon Kelley finished third in the 300 hurdles (44.87), and Josiah Campbell placed fourth in the 100 (11.69) and

again Coupeville failed to get the clutch hit to drive in the runners. In the sixth, Sherman singled and Roberts finally gave Coupeville a big hit, a two-run home run with two outs. Blaine, however, used two walks and two hits to score two more runs Senior Walstad, playing in her final game, collected her third hit in the seventh. (She went 7-for-9 for the tournament.) Rockwell, the Wolves’ only other senior, walked. After an out, Bailey singled in Walstad for the final run. Co-coach David King said, “This team never gave up, played solid defensively once again along with good pitching. The great thing is they came out today and eight of the nine batters had at least one hit.” King had praise for his two seniors. “Bessie and Maria really came on strong at the end of the season with their hitting. Maria played this weekend with a very sore hamstring, slightly pulled, and led by example.”

fifth in the triple jump (37-03). Tisa-McPhee joined Marisa Etzell, Jai’Lysa Hoskins and Sylvia Hurlburt to grab third in the girls 4x200 relay (1:48.97), and teamed with Stone, Hoskins and Etzell to finish fifth in the 4x100 in a new school record (52.17). Stone, Etzell, Hurlburt and Kirsten Pelroy were fifth in the 4x400 (4:14.98). Campbell, Latham Kelley, Jared Helmstadter and Sam Landau earned fifth in the boys 4x100 (46.43). For the girls, Rachel Wenzel threw to seventh in the javelin (87-11), while Hurlburt (200, 28.26) and Pelroy (400, 1:07.16) picked up eighths. Heni Barnes placed 12th in the shot (2800.25) and 16th in the discus (69-06). Erin Rosenkranz finished 17th in the 1,600 (6:11.11) and 11th in the 3,200 (13:17.3). For the boys, Nick Streubel placed ninth in the shot put (43-05) and 11th in the discus (113-02), two spots ahead of Carson Risner (107-08). Matthew Hampton was 10th in the 3,200 (10:50.61) and teamed with Landau and the Kelleys to earn seventh in the 4x400 (3:45.63). The top five in each event earned automatic tri-district berths. However, Wenzel and Streubel also received invitations to tri-district based upon their performances.

Patton: Hopes to serve the port after he retires From page 1 for the Port of Coupeville, a master site plan for the Greenbank Farm and a conservation easement for the Greenbank Farm have been completed during Weber’s tenure on the port commission. Patton also said there is more work that needs to be done. He noted that the solar project at the Greenbank Farm remains incomplete and port leaders are still sorting out the transition plan over how the publicly owned farm will be managed once the current arrangement with the Greenbank Farm Management Group expires. He also said it will be very “tricky” to continue oversight of both the Coupeville Wharf and Greenbank Farm while being funded by a tax levy. “I want to help out,” Patton said. Commissioners will talk next month about how to go about replacing Patton as executive director, which is a position Patton plans to resign from at the end of 2013. He said it is time to find a

Patton new executive director who would provide a fresh set of eyes and energy to his position. Patton isn’t the only person who is running for a seat on the Port of Coupeville. Mike Diamanti filed to run for the vacant seat commissioners appointed him to last week. He takes over for Laura Blankenship, who resigned in April after serving a bit more than one year on the commission.

Groups partner to fix viewing deck The observation platform at Keystone Spit will be usable for many years to come thanks to the help and cooperation of Central Whidbey Lions, Fort Casey State Park personnel and Whidbey Audubon Society. The platform allows people to observe Crockett Lake from an elevated leve and is a designated point on the Great Washington State Birding Trail, the Puget Loop, stop 37. More than 20 years ago, the Washington Department of Parks and Recreation, along with former Whidbey Audubon Society member Bob Merrick, arranged for two surplus floating docks to be trucked to the site and placed, end to end, with an eight-foot space between. A ramp was built that was bridged crudely with boards spanning the gap. Rough railings and benches were also installed at that time. Recently some regular users noticed the ramp was rotting. Fort Casey State Park volunteers replaced the ramp with a new set of steps and Central Whidbey

Lions volunteered to upgrade the structure. The cost of materials was provided by Whidbey Audubon Society. The bridge between the docks is now firmly supported. Handrails are also in place at the steps. Park personnel helped tidy

Filing week for public offices began Monday and wraps up at 4 p.m. Friday so people interested in running for office can still file with the Island County Auditor’s Office. Patton filed for a seat on the Port of Coupeville. Mike Diamanti, who was recently appointed to the port, is running for a separate seat on the elected board. As of press time Tuesday, Powell is running unopposed for Position 5 on the Coupeville Town Council. Dianne Binder is running unopposed so far for Position 4. Georgia Gardner is the only incumbent so far to

have filed for reelection on the Whidbey General Hospital Board. Ron Wallin’s and Roger Case’s seats are also up for election. Case is scheduled to resign from the board in June. Four seats are up for election on the Coupeville School Board. Three incumbents — Jeff Tasoff, Chris Chan, and Kathleen Anderson — haven’t submitted their paperwork yet. Recently appointed board member Glenda Merwine filed to run for her school board seat in the fall.
