Anchor of ages believed found ‘For people who love history, it’s about as good as it gets.’ — Mike Granat, Bellingham Maritime Museum
Project manager hired for hospital expansion By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record Whidbey General Hospital leaders have agreed to pay an Anacortes project manager up to $750,000 to coordinate the expansion project. Hospital commissioners approved an agreement in January with Marc Estvold to lead the $50 million expansion, which is being funded with voter-approved bonds.

An artist’s rendering of the HMS Discovery and the HMS Chatham somewhere in Puget Sound. An anchor was lost during the famous exploration of the Pacific Northwest and a group of history hunters believe they have located the artifact on the west side of Whidbey Island.
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Once strong and new, it secured our future. Now rusty and covered in sea life, it will connect us with our past. Maybe. Considered by some to be a Holy Grail of Puget Sound archaeology, three men — a commercial diver, an amateur historian and an attorney — believe they have found the fabled lost anchor of Captain George Vancouver’s exploration of the Pacific Northwest more than 200 years ago. Lying in shallow water along the west side of Whidbey Island, the historic artifact could be recovered by the three-man team that makes up Anchor Ventures LLC within the month.
Thought the only physical proof left behind by the long-ago expedition, the anchor has been a highly sought-after prize by historical groups for years. Some say its discovery and subsequent recovery will spark international interest and even a legal battle for ownership. But is this the artifact so many are searching for? While Anchor Ventures believes they have uncovered sufficient evidence to suggest it is, the claim is a matter of some debate.
Long ago, somewhere In 1791, British Navy Captain George Vancouver set out on a four-year exploration of the West Coast aboard the 99-foot HMS Discovery. Accompanying the ship on its historymaking voyage was the HMS Chatham [pro-

Personal journals and ship logs record the event on June 9, 1792, while navigating an unconfirmed area of Puget Sound. “We found the tide here extremely rapid and endeavoring to get around a point to a bay in which the Discovery had anchor’d, we were swept to leeward of it with great impetuosity,” wrote Edward Bell, a clerk aboard the Chatham. “We therefore let go the stream anchor, but in bringing up, such was the force of the tide that we parted the cable. We immediately let go with the bower [anchor] with which we
Estvold, who recently managed expansion projects at Island Hospital and the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance, will work for Whidbey General Hospital on a contract basis. Hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose said in an email that Estvold will work on an hourly basis with the $750,000 cap based on the multi-year life of the project. “This is typical in health-care construction for someone with his expertise who is managing a project of this size and complexity,” Rose said in the email.

Clinton farm Glendale Shepherd received a 2014 Good Food Award in recognition of their responsible food production and taste of their products. Glendale Shepherd entered their Island Brebis cheese in the national competition. It’s made from the farm’s staple — sheep’s milk — and features a creamy interior with sweet and nutty tones. The cheese entered in the competition was aged for 14 months. “I was floored,” said Lynn Swanson, cheesemaker at Glendale Shepherd. “I’m still amazed, seeing our cheese with all the others.” In the category, 14

cheesemakers were awarded medals. Other categories included beer, charcuterie, chocolate, coffee, confections, oils, pickles, preserves and spirits. The contest received 1,450 entries from all 50 states. From there, 130 winners were chosen from 32 states. Six other food and drink makers from Washington received awards, including Kuma Coffee in Bellevue, Olympia Coffee Roasting Co. in Olympia, Roast House in Spokane, Firefly Kitchens in Seattle, Oly Kraut in Olympia and Lilli-Pilli Patisserie in Kirkland. For Swanson, one of the parts she enjoyed most about the competition was that, “It wasn’t just about good taste.” The winners are chosen after a blind tasting as well as a check to make sure contestants met
specific environmental and social criteria. Judges looked for real ingredients and good animal care. Artificial or processed foods, the use of hormones and synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers or genetically modified ingredients were practices that counted against contestants. Through the criteria, Good Food Awards hopes to show a more sustainable food system. Swanson said the farm is committed to being a local producer where the cheese stays in Washington. She recognized there is a limit to the farm’s growth, one she is content with. “I think most importantly it’s a confirmation we’re on the right track,” she said. “We’re producing something a lot of people like.”

The changing face of the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record For Whidbey Island Red Cross volunteers, it’s not a question of “if,” it’s a question of “when” a disaster will occur. Staying prepared is a top priority. Most recently, seven volunteers from the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross helped staff an emergency shelter in Everett that opened Dec. 15. A large apartment fire in downtown Everett that day took one person’s life and left 20 others in need of temporary housing. An additional volunteer provided all the financial tracking for the shelter from his Friday Harbor office. Snohomish County Red Cross volunteers opened the shelter at Central Lutheran Church in Everett, and staffed it around the clock with help from other chapters in the region. Volunteers serve as shelter operators, cooks, caseworkers and case managers, nurses and mental health counselors. “We were happy to help out,” said Ron Conlin, disaster services coordinator for Islands Chapter. “Snohomish County volunteers had responded to 12 incidents in 12 days, and they needed relief. We were able to send people from South and North Whidbey and the San Juans.” While responding to fires and other minor disasters are routine for the Red Cross, the face of the organization is changing as they learn through hard experience, namely, Hurricane Katrina. “That was the first time the Red Cross has operated in disaster mode for that long … more than a year,” Conlin said. “There were lessons learned from Katrina and everything that went wrong. There were things we never
expected to deal with — like sheltering for pets. People died because they wouldn’t abandon their pets.” As a result of those hard lessons learned, Conlin said the Red Cross went into Hurricane Sandy in “a ramped up space” that was more prepared. In addition to providing much needed short-term shelter and food to disaster victims, the Red Cross also service first responders, providing food and water during fires or floods. Out of 131 volunteers that comprise the Islands Chapter, roughly 50 reside on Whidbey Island. Others live in the San Juans or on Fidalgo Island. This includes 21 licensed registered nurses and psychologists who are ready to help with medical and mental health needs. Unlike other chapters around Washington and the country, the Islands Chapter faces some unusual obstacles.
“Our chapter is unique and geographically challenging due to the mix of land and water,” Conlin said. “It’s important for us to be train-
gency assistance, including Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast and flooding in Colorado. The Red Cross mainly

ing our people and the general population.” The group faced a rash of pre-Christmas fires, which is relatively standard given the increased use of lights and space heaters. The chapter had 30 disaster calls for the month of December. Conlin said last year was pretty hard on Islands Red Cross but that was partially because they are gaining a higher profile in the area, working with more local fire departments to be on their first call list. In addition, Whidbey volunteers have deployed all over the country for emer-
focuses on immediate short term aid and works with other agencies, such as Catholic Charities for longer term needs. “The Red Cross is a crucial player in emergency response and preparedness in our diverse group of island communities,” said Mike Stamper, executive director of Islands chapter. In addition, the area chapters have unveiled a new program with Puget Sound Energy entitled “Safe in the Sound,” which aims to pre-

pare at-risk areas for earthquakes and tsunamis, teaching residents basic first aid and how to “shelter in place,” Conlin said. Safe in the Sound work to keep individuals and communities throughout the Puget Sound region and coastal communities build their capacity to withstand, quickly adapt to and successfully recover from disasters, Conlin said. In recent years, catastrophic earthquakes have killed hundreds of thousands of people and caused billions of dollars in damage worldwide, according to data from the Red Cross. In 2011, 14.9 million people around the
world were displaced due to natural disasters. The 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami serve as powerful reminders of the need for individuals, neighborhoods and businesses to prepare. The state of Washington is second only to California in risk of infrastructure damage and economic loss due to earthquakes. Furthermore, the Seattle, Tacoma and Bellevue area ranks fifth among cities nationwide in terms of risk of infrastructure damage and economic risk due to earthquakes.

Between sunrise and sunset, a life helping neighbors “Just because you see the sun rise in the morning is no guarantee you’ll see the sun set that evening. That’s why you have to live life to the fullest each day, and that includes helping your community and neighbors.” Paul Busch speaks from nearly four decades of experience as a firefighter, often being the first on the scene of what most likely started as a normal day for the person affected by a fire, injury, or accident. Raised in Shoreline, his first job as a firefighter was with Snohomish County Fire District One. Thirty-four years ago, he accepted a position with the Whidbey Island Fire District. “The fire fighting life just came naturally to me. I really appreciate being able to spend my life supporting the community.” Helping people in their time of need, and making the community a better place to live, are how he lives his life to the fullest.

NEWSLINE | WEATHER REPORT: Cold and clear this week. Sunny today through Friday. Lows around 20.
LANGLEY Shrimping site fight continues Langley’s battle to restrict ghost shrimp harvesting near the city took another step recently, Mayor Fred McCarthy said Monday. The city-formed ghost shrimp advocacy committee requested Peter Goldmark, Washington’s Commissioner of Public Lands, consider restricting harvesting around Langley. They heard back from Goldmark and were redirected to a division in Washington that handles the permits for commercial ghost shrimp harvesting. People grew concerned after hearing that a lack of ghost shrimp in the area, a food source for whales that frequent Saratoga Passage, may cause whales to skip the tide-
lands off Langley. Ghost shrimp are also used as fishing bait. It became a city concern because whale watching is poised to become a greater source of tourism and business in Langley. Whale watching company Mystic Sea Charters kept one of its vessels in Langley’s South Whidbey Harbor last year and has planned to launch more tours this spring and summer. Councilwoman Margot Jerome brought up her concern that the city may impact someone’s livelihood if their request is successful. McCarthy defended the city’s request, noting several other designated ghost shrimping areas around Whidbey Island. Also, McCarthy said, the city was not asking for a full ban, only consideration of a restriction during the spring months when whales are known to visit Saratoga Passage.
“The beds get pretty permanently disturbed,” McCarthy said. “The whales have been known to skip those places the next year.”
City sees business growth in 2013 According to a Langley Main Street Association report, the city saw growth in 2013. Fred Lundahl, a business owner in Langley and member of the association, told the city council Monday night that more businesses opened than closed last year. “Basically we’re all used to the griping and complaining … When you look at the statistics, especially compared to Coupeville or wherever, we’re doing pretty darn well,” Lundahl said. The news was most welcome to the city council and Mayor Fred McCarthy, which set eco-
nomic development as a major priority this year. The association report showed nine new businesses in Langley in 2013, compared to five the year before. Only two businesses closed in 2013, whereas six shuttered their shops in 2012. In Langley, the report even counted the number of jobs created — 19 — and jobs lost — four — last year. Part of the Langley Main Street Association’s obligation is to monitor its volunteer levels. Last year, 50 volunteers helped out with association activities, such as watering the planters and gardens downtown and transporting people around the city in an electric cart. In all, 2,300 volunteer hours were spent on Langley Main Street Association activity in 2013. “I love the comparison between 2012 and 2013,” said Councilman Jim Sundberg. “The numbers we want going up are going up and the num-
bers we want going down are going down.” Major vacancies remain in Langley, however, with prime real estate spots like the former Dog House Tavern and Mike’s Place restaurant sitting empty on First Street.

Sound Physicians has agreed to provide hospitalist services to Whidbey General Hospital starting this week. Hospitalists replace physicians in hospitals because of their specialization in hospital care and are available around the clock. Sound Physicians will manage a team of inpatient physicians at Whidbey General Hospital. “We chose to partner with Sound Physicians because they share our focus on high-quality care and patient satisfaction,” said Whidbey General CEO Tom Tomasino, in a news release. “We are confident that their leadership, infrastructure and technology-enabled workflows will enrich the level of service to our patients and their families.” Working with Whidbey General leadership, Sound Physicians will introduce processes designed to reduce healthcare costs, improve efficiency, communication and patient care outcomes.

Still plucking at 40 Island Strings celebrates four decades of teaching
Island Strings’ 40th anniversary
By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Island Strings began its 40th year of teaching this year and the number of lives touched in that time is nearly uncountable. Beginning in 1974, three instructors including Linda Good, Paula Pugh and Linda Morris began the teaching partnership at South Whidbey Elementary School with 22 students. For Good, founder and teacher of the network, the number of students she’s taught surpasses 1,000. She has been teaching stringed instruments such as the violin, viola, fiddle, guitar, banjo and piano since 1969. The number of students since then is “tricky,” she said,

The network has grown to include four core teachers in addition to more than 15 associate and former teachers. Students in the network perform regionally and at many community events such as the Maxwelton Parade, Coupeville Music Festival, Island County Fair and Choochokam. Instructor Kat Fritz was key in helping that growth, Good said.

She became a resident of Whidbey Island in 1964 where she resided until her death. She was a founding member of St. Augustine’s-in-theWoods Episcopal Church in Freeland and has remained an active participant, serving many positions within the church and the Diocese. Philanthropy was a way of life for Judy. She was intent on serving women, the underserved and the protection of our planet. She also was an ardent supporter of the arts. She encouraged others to pursue their dreams and goals and was never one to stand in their way.

Some students with Island Strings have even returned to teach, while others have grown to be remarkable performers, such as Gloria FerryBrennan and Teo Benson, she said. Good has worked to reconnect with many alumni this year. Many students work as musicians, but she’s happy to see others who have moved on to separate careers and still incorporate music in their lives. “It’s amazing seeing all the places they go,” she said. One former student she talked to works as an attorney, but occasionally plays violin on the street for extra cash. “I love hearing stories like that,” she said. The network has also been involved with the South Whidbey School District on many levels. Island Strings has worked with the former middle school and high school orchestras, which is one thing that makes the network distinct, Good said. Good said she hopes the partnership grows to include more teachers and more opportunities with the school district in the future.

Editorial
Historical artifacts are treasures that must be shared Who would have thought? A piece of Washington’s history, a significant piece for that matter, may have been resting off the west side of Whidbey Island for more than 200 years. The lost anchor from the HMS Chatham, the survey brig that accompanied British Navy Captain George Vancouver and the HMS Discovery on the historic exploration of Puget Sound in 1791, is believed found. And so close to home. It’s enough to make one wonder what might be buried in their own backyard. But, as one state official has astutely noted, “The jury is still out” — the authenticity of the anchor found by a group of divers in 2008 remains unproven. We simply won’t know where it came from until it is successfully recovered and examined by experts. Meanwhile, we’re left to wonder just what it might be. We don’t, however, have to wait for other answers, for they are already clear. Ownership issues aside, this anchor, be it from the Chatham or another ancient ship, is a piece of our history and belongs in a local museum or a place where it can be enjoyed by all. No doubt, historical societies around the region would salivate over the possibility of displaying such a relic and they are all right to do so. History is a bridge to our past and artifacts are their highway, for things we can see and touch connect us with yesterday in a way that books and lectures cannot. They are the window through which we glimpse the lives of our forebears, and one look can tell us of their hardships, their victories, their courage. Doug Monk, the Port Angeles man who found the anchor, said it best. This isn’t an artifact for a single individual’s yard, and selling it to the highest bidder is simply not right. He and his partners should be thanked for their hard work, their tenacity and their efforts to see the anchor raised legally and by professionals. They are hoping to recover their significant personal investment and that’s both reasonable and fair. Perhaps they should even make a profit as well, but the price tag should not come at the expense of the public’s equal right to know and see its history. May the right decision be made and all Washington residents benefit from this incredible find.

South Whidbey firefighters deserve thanks Editor, I just wanted to say a big “Praise God” and thank you to my dear neighborhood heroes Dave and Mike, and the wonderful local firefighters who came to my rescue when I had a chimney fire on New Year’s. I am so grateful that they came so quickly — thank you, 911 — and that the fire was contained and didn’t spread to the house. Thank you, Chris, Mike, Gary, Elden and the many others who came to our rescue (sorry, I didn’t get everyone’s names). Thank you all who came to help. BRENDA SINCLAIR Freeland
Car/power pole accidents require extreme caution Editor, We are writing to followup on the story published recently about a FedEx truck that hit a power pole on Ewing Road. The story represented that a live wire was in contact with the vehicle and that the driver of the truck exited through a window. We want to convey in the strongest terms that it is rarely safe to exit a vehicle under these circumstances. Occupants must assume that the wire is live and that it is transferring electric current through the frame of the vehicle. If the driver or passenger attempts to exit and is in contact with the vehicle and the ground at the same
time then the electric current will flow through their body. The injuries would most likely be fatal. For more information, please contact South Whidbey Fire/EMS at 360321-1533.

all around them, did it seem normal, inevitable, even right? Now I’ve asked myself about a condition that in my lifetime seems to have become a new normal. Recently, I was on a Road Scholar (Elderhostel) program in Portland, Ore. Knowledgeable speakers introduced us to the storied past and dynamic present of the city. Yet in downtown Portland the homeless, young and old, stood around on the streets, some days in the pouring rain. Outside trendy restaurants, after our tasty meals, they waited, asking for help. “Would you like this sandwich?” I asked one older woman. “I’m always hungry,” she answered, as I handed her the boxed-up portion of a hearty brew pub lunch. It’s not, of course, a situation unique to Portland. Driving Interstate 5 into Seattle from the south, look to the embankment to your right. Make-shift camps are scattered in the woods for several miles of your car trip. In Seattle, early morning office workers and Sunday morning church-
goers hurry by doorways of sleeping bodies. Those without shelter in rural areas may be hidden, but they suffer equally. Is this what we have come to accept? Government and charitable shelters provide beds but are overwhelmed by men, women, and entire families without a place to sleep. While the causes of this human crisis are complex, we cannot look away. Putting up signs, as some towns have done, warning us not to give money to “panhandlers,” will not do. Those worried about misuse of cash can provide gift cards for inexpensive markets or restaurants. My sister in Eugene buys big packages of dried fruit and nuts and fills zip-lock bags, which she hands out to those holding signs at stop lights. And charitable organizations working for the homeless depend on donations of time and money. Homelessness in America today is local, regional, nation-wide, and always a personal anguish that must never be considered normal. GLORIA KOLL Freeland

Mayor’s beat Economic development is Langley’s top priority in 2014
By FRED McCARTHY Last month, I used some boating stories to talk about our current economic condition and the future in and around Langley. In January, we departed from the dock. We initiated 2014 with a lean budget and streamlined services. We have decreased the processing time for building permits and plans approval.
We lowered the minimumbase gallon rate and cost for water usage by 1,000 gallons as a savings incentive to low-end users; we are completing an in-depth study of our police department prior to deciding the staffing level — the number of officers on the force — for the future. We funded the start of a new Langley Whale Center — $10,000 — and helped with the extraordinary costs to the Port of South Whidbey for the removal of contaminated soil encountered in installing the new Port marina waterline on city property —$14,700. We have budgeted funds for economic development ideas and tourism proposals. We gave our staff a 2.8 percent salary increase that included 1 percent for actual performance evaluated against standards. We have implemented the

Lakewood pulls away late for 16-point win over South Whidbey By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Playing big and fast, the Lakewood Cougars girls basketball team took an early lead and never let go against South Whidbey on the Falcons’ home court Friday night. The Cougars took a 4-2 lead within the first two minutes and went on to win 47-31, relying on an inside-outside offense. Lakewood scored layups with sophomore Marissa Blair and sophomore Reille Jones, and from beyond the three-point arc with guard tandem sophomore Hayley Senyitko and freshman Natalie Neer. South Whidbey’s young squad tried to keep pace through the first half. The Falcons found some success early in the game, with senior Madi Boyd and freshman Megan Drake driving to the rim. But the persistent problem of getting the ball up the floor returned and cost South Whidbey four possessions in the first half. Lakewood took its first double-digit lead on a threepointer by Neer early in the second quarter. Drake cut the lead to 23-14 with a threepointer, her second of the first half. South Whidbey’s defense tried pressuring Lakewood
Wrestling lands seven at final tune-up in Tacoma By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Two weeks was too long a stretch for South Whidbey wrestling to go without a match. A last-minute tournament was added to the Falcons’ schedule at Washington High School in Tacoma on Saturday. More than 350 wrestlers hit the gym’s seven mats for an all-day, all-comers tournament. And

Falcon junior Kristen Schuster secures a rebound from Lakewood junior Brooklyn Hammond in a Cascade Conference girls basketball game Friday, Jan. 31. and came up with a few steals of its own. But it seemed as though the Falcons would no sooner take the ball then they would lose it, as one sequence following Drake’s three illustrated. Lakewood missed a shot, followed by a missed Abby Hodson jump shot. Boyd stole the ball, only to have it taken back by Senyitko. Lakewood’s Cassidy Dvorak was fouled, missed both shots, but the Cougars rebounded the miss. the Falcons showed their quality as seven wrestlers battled in championship matches against competition across the classifications. “We didn’t want to go two weeks without a tournament,” said Falcon head coach Jim Thompson. “We looked pretty good.” Only one South Whidbey wrestler, however, won his weight class. Beck Davis, a senior in the 185-pound division, claimed a title with a forfeit in the championship match. Six other Falcons took second place. Andy Madsen narrowly fell in the 145 with a 2-0 loss. Seniors Tyler Russell in the 138 and Kyrell Broyles in the 152 both placed second. Pierce Jackson lost in the 285pound championship match, and Trevor Miller fell in the 220 final bout. Hunter Newman finished in second
Drake stole the ball following another missed shot, but turned it over with a travel call. Fortunately for South Whidbey, Lakewood failed to score on most of the first-half turnovers. Unfortunately, losing the ball meant the Falcons had an empty possession. By halftime, Lakewood held a 27-17 lead. The Falcons tried to creep back into the game in the third quarter. Kinsey Eager, place in the 126. Falcon senior James Itaya placed third in the 160. Thompson said senior Donnie Sutton lost his chance because of a bleeding nose that could not be stopped, which used all of his allotted injury time. Another wrestler, senior Calvin Shimada, was pulled after falling ill early in the all-day meet. Thompson also noted the first-place performance of freshman Jack Nielson in the 138 junior varsity tournament. South Whidbey will learn the seedings of its wrestlers after a meeting Wednesday, Feb. 5, for the District 1 tournament that runs this weekend. Ahead of the postseason, two points of focus for the Falcons this week will be aggressiveness and escaping, their coach said. “We still need to improve everywhere,” he said.
a Falcon freshman, split a pair of free throws to cut the lead to 27-18. The Cougars, however, returned to a doubledigit advantage off a Senyitko steal and a Dvorak layup. Later in the third period, South Whidbey found some pep following a Boyd threepointer. The Falcons stole the ensuing possession from the Cougars, recovered a missed shot and sent junior Kristen Schuster to the free-throw line where she split a pair. It

The Falcons (1-10 Cascade

Falcon, Wolves rivalry to continue By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Coupeville High School will take its athletic teams elsewhere next year, leaving the Cascade Conference and South Whidbey behind after years of an island rivalry. Instead of the Cascade Conference, which includes 2A powerhouse programs like Archbishop Murphy and Lakewood and 1A power King’s, Coupeville will swap mountain ranges and head west for the Olympic League. The change has some paperwork that needs to be filed by the two athletic leagues and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, but was reported by the Whidbey News-Times as a “done deal.” The Wolves’ departure never put one of the conference’s longest rivalries in jeopardy, however. As soon as South Whidbey High School Athletic Director Kelly Kirk heard the news, he contacted Coupeville’s athletic director. “That was my first email, ‘Hey, let’s play in non-league,” Kirk said. “We’re already set for week 1 in football, and we’re planning volleyball and soccer. Then we’ll move forward for winter and
spring sports.” Going forward, Kirk said South Whidbey sports would seek to play Coupeville teams in non-conference matches, contests outside of the home-and-away Cascade Conference schedule for team sports. Coupeville’s departure was bittersweet for one South Whidbey coach. Mark Hodson lamented losing the Wolves, harkening back to when he was first hired by South Whidbey High School and the two schools did not compete in athletics. “When I got here, we did not play Coupeville,” Hodson said. “It never made sense … That’s just a natural rivalry.” Joining the Cascade Conference is Cedar Park Christian, a private 1A school in Bothell. Sultan will drop from 2A to 1A to give the league four 1A schools and four 2A schools. Travel costs for South Whidbey teams are not expected to dramatically jump, however, with the added trips to Bothell. Kirk said that adding Coupeville as a non-league opponent could slightly cut costs. Rather than travel into Whatcom County to play Blaine or Mount Baker, South Whidbey can journey 25 minutes north on Highway 525 to Coupeville.

brought up. On trying the tide we found it to be running at a rate of 5 ½ mph. At slack water we swept for the other anchor but could not get it. After several fruitless attempts to get it we were at last obliged to leave it and join the Discovery.” Forced to give up the anchor for lost, the two ships forged ahead with the historical exploration, leaving behind a mystery that would obsess treasure and history hunters more than two centuries later.
Could it be the same anchor? “We don’t know if it’s the anchor we’re looking for … it could be absolutely nothing,” said Seattle resident Scott Grimm of Anchor Ventures. “Or it could be an anchor of significance.” Grimm and his business partners, Doug Monk of Port Angeles and an attorney, formed the limited liability corporation to legally salvage and claim ownership of the lost relic. The anchor to be recovered, possibly as soon as next week, was found in January 2008 by Monk and the crew of his fishing vessel. Ship’s divers were searching the seafloor for sea cucumbers when they discovered a long length of heavy chain. Monk personally dove the site a short time later and located the anchor with one fluke buried beneath a boulder. The find was officially recorded with the state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, or DAHP, in early 2009. Though the artifact’s monetary value is undetermined, The Record has agreed not to print its exact location to limit the possibility of it being looted. Over the past six years, Monk has kept the discovery a closely guarded secret, bringing in only a few trusted partners and consultants. He’s also sunk

more than $100,000 into the recovery project. “I just wish the thing would be over so I don’t go broke,” laughed Monk. He’s spent cash documenting the anchor with the state, on historical research, securing ownership rights and navigating Washington’s lengthy permitting process. But despite the time and expense invested, competing theories that suggest the anchor is not from the Chatham have only fueled his drive to recover the artifact. “They said I was wrong so I guess it is an obsession,” Monk said. “I want to prove them wrong.”
prize is treasure, at least in the eyes of historians. “For people who love history, it’s about as good as it gets,” Granat said.
A mystery until proven otherwise
The boat is not where people think Grimm, a medical equipment salesman with a passion for history, was among the confidants brought in by Monk. He’s spent years pouring over documents and personal journals and believes many historians have been looking for the lost artifact in the wrong place. “It became very evident the anchor isn’t where they think it is,” he said. The leading theory is that the Chatham was in the Bellingham channel when the anchor was lost. The location is thought so certain that the Bellingham Maritime Museum has spent years and more than $100,000 attempting to locate the lost piece of history by scouring the area with high-tech marine scanning equipment. But Grimm believes clues left behind in journals point to another location, such as the speed of the current — 5 ½ mph. Both he and Monk, a long-time mariner, say the current doesn’t run that fast in the Bellingham channel. “This boat is not where people think it was,” Grimm said. The design and shape of the anchor also suggest it’s of the right period. Ships didn’t operate regularly in the area where it was dis-

But there are some who disagree. A historian consultant hired by Anchor Ventures concluded the anchor did not belong to the Chatham because the design of the attached chain was not used until years later. Grimm disputes the finding, saying historical records indicate otherwise. Similarly, Mike Granat, chairman of the Bellingham Maritime Museum, says the shape of the anchor’s fluke is a clear indication it’s from another ship. A draw-
ing of the anchor’s dimensions submitted to the state depicts a “U” shaped fluke. Granat says the fluke of the Chatham’s anchor, and all those of the period, were “V” shaped. “It’s not it,” Granat said. “That [the shape] is the key thing.” According to Grimm, the dimensional drawing submitted to the state was inaccurate and the anchor does indeed have the period’s signature “V” shaped flukes. While Granat remains confident that the anchor is located within the Bellingham channel, he said he would welcome the chance to discuss methodology and the project in general with Anchor Ventures.
“I’m not sure how closely we’d compare notes on location,” Granat said. “There’s no contention — it’s just the nature of these things. They are a mystery.” Considered a historical treasure, the Chatham’s anchor has captured the imaginations of many historians and looking through old records is akin to following clues in a detective novel, he said. But instead of solving a murder, the
Anchor Ventures is working to secure permits with DAHP and the Department of Natural Resources, or DNR. A State Environmental Policy Act determination of non-significance was issued by DNR for removal of the anchor from the seafloor on Jan. 29. The public has until Feb. 12 to submit comments on the project. Stephenie Kramer, assistant state archaeologist with DAHP, said the state has recognized the anchor as a legitimate artifact, as it’s over 50 years old, but whether it once adorned the bow of the Chatham remains to be seen. “I think the jury is still out on that,” Kramer said. That question can only be answered once it’s been raised and inspected by experts, she said. The state’s involvement is to ensure Anchor Ventures takes the appropriate steps to salvage and preserve the anchor, no matter what ship it once belonged to, she said. According to Anchor Ventures’ work plan submitted with the state, the nearly 9-foot-long anchor rests on a rocky bottom with one fluke buried in sand against a large rock. About 100 feet of chain is still attached to a ring at the top of the shank. The long-ago crew that lost the anchor did attempt SEE ANCHOR, A12

By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Hours of practice and rehearsals over lunch hours have paid off for two Langley Middle School students. Eighth graders Annika Hustad and Mackenzee
Collins were selected to participate in the Washington Music Educators Association’s Junior All-State for bands. The two will assemble along with 570 young musicians from around the state in band, choir and orchestra to practice and perform in Yakima on Saturday,
Feb. 15. Annika and Mackenzee could not contain their excitement over the honor. “I was really surprised,” said Annika, who plays the flute. Annika didn’t think she would make the band, even though she practices every night and steps in to conduct class when needed. “I have high standards for myself,” she said. For the auditions, both girls, along with four other Langley Middle School hopefuls, practiced for weeks before sending in their audition tapes. The audition tested many skills such as pace and breathing. Annika, 13, started playing the flute in the fifth
grade after learning piano from her grandmother. It’s an enjoyable instrument, she said, because it expresses a lot of emotion and correct notes are difficult to achieve. “I always like a good challenge,” she said. Annika said she was eager to travel and perform with the band. “It’s motivation to get better,” she added. Battling others student musicians for the top spot is an added bonus for Annika. That feeling was echoed by Mackenzee, 13. She enjoys playing with a group and being a part of the band. Mackenzee first got the band bug in the fifth grade

flukes, rather than hooking a link of chain. Whatever the case, the anchor will be raised using a series of inflatable bags. The chain will be cut 15 feet from the anchor’s ring, leaving about 85 feet on the bottom, the plan outlines. The operation was scheduled for June 9 — 222 years to the day the anchor was lost — but news of the discovery generated by the announced public comment period has accelerated those plans. Fearing the artifact will be pilfered by looters, Anchor Ventures has applied for emergency permits with the state and hopes to retrieve the anchor as soon as next week. Once it is safely recovered, the anchor will be delivered to a lab at Texas A&M University for conser-

to retrieve it with a “grapple” but the effort failed. It snagged the chain too close to the anchor, “making it unable to pull the anchor with a single line,” according to the work plan. The grapple remains hooked in the chain to this day, which is another reason Grimm believes it came from the HMS Chatham, as personal journals, such as Bell’s, note the failed recovery attempt. This is another source of disagreement, however, as Granat claims crews of the period “swept” for the anchor with a chain strung across two ships, not with a grapple. The method was designed to snare one of the

vation and stabilization, a process expected take from one to three years.
From our perspective According to those who know about and are actively searching for the Chatham’s lost anchor, its discovery will be monumental. Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Society,

even international, debate over ownership. Anchor Ventures, however, contends the matter is largely settled, claiming they have secured legal ownership of the artifact through the courts. But like many aspects of this mystery anchor, it’s a matter of debate. “From our perspective, it’s embedded in state land and we consider it public property,” Kramer said. Monk acknowledged there is the possibility for future headache, but he doesn’t believe it will be with the state. Working through federal courts, Monk said both Washington and the British government were given time to make a claim and neither responded, which made the anchor his legal property. There is still a chance, however, the British Navy could later claim “sovereignty” over the artifact. “It’s not likely, but they could still come after it,” Monk said. Kramer agreed that some details still need to be resolved before a permit is issued, but ownership is not an immediate concern. “They seem committed to preserving the historical integrity of the artifact, so as long no one comes along and recovers or damages it, it should be a win-win situation,” Kramer said.
It’s not right to sell it But what happens after it’s recovered and preserved is at the top of many people’s minds. Will it go to a museum or will it be sold at auction?
Monk is hoping to recover his financial investment, but maintained that Anchor Ventures’ “full intention is to donate it” to a museum, preferably to one in the Puget Sound area. “It’s not right to sell it,” he said, though he added that his wife would be “furious” if he didn’t get some of his money back. Anchor Ventures hopes the issue will be resolved with money earned from a television documentary or donations from interested museums. However the issue is resolved, he said Anchor Ventures is committed to salvaging the anchor legally. “We want to do this right,” Monk said. “I could have yanked the thing up myself and put it in my yard. But without the history, it’s just another anchor.” According to Kramer, sections of the State Environmental Policy Act specifically address issues concerning cultural or historical artifacts. For those who want to weigh in on matters such as the anchor’s final location and ownership, DNR’s public comment period is their chance, she said. It’s likely that historians will be among those submitting comments. According to Castellano, the Chatham’s anchor is the only known physical evidence of Vancouver’s famed exploration. Like the Liberty Bell, its historical value simply can’t be priced. “An artifact of this importance is beyond monetary value,” Castellano said. “It’s a huge piece of everyone’s history, especially for people in the Northwest.”

said it ranks among the top archaeological finds in Puget Sound to date — “a Holy Grail” of European exploration of Washington. “To have an artifact representative of that period; it’s certainly priceless [historically],” Castellano said.

EVENING
The most beautiful gift is time together Valentine’s Day is a favorite celebration for lovers around the planet. So much more than just another date on the calendar, February 14 is the perfect excuse to devote some time to each other. Be sure to plan an unforgettable activity for you and your beloved, and imagine how fun it will be to escape the hectic pace of everyday life and experience some romantic moments together. If you only have a few hours to spare to be together alone, many spas offer package deals that allow couples to relax with one
another in baths, pools, and saunas. Massages and other body care treatments are also available to lovers who would like to spoil each other. A romantic dinner for two at a good restaurant is another great way to highlight this special day. Chefs usually try to be especially creative for Valentine’s Day in order to offer couples delicious menus featuring aphrodisiacs and gourmet treats that they wouldn’t find at home. Your taste buds will fall in love again too!

Bring a fresh loaf of bread home and watch the family’s reaction. The first slice smells so good. Family members are likely to break out the sandwich meat and dig in right away. Later, however, the bread is a little dry and stale, and no one will touch it. Planning to sell your home? The day it goes on the market, it’s like that first slice. You’ve painted, cleaned, and you’re excited. Your representative has promoted your home to their enthusiastic agents who have qualified prospects. Like the family members who rush for the first slice, there is likely to be a flurry of activity. If a purchase offer results from that early activity, be prepared to accept it. Early on, prospects are likely to be more excited and emotional, often resulting in an excellent offer. It is critical that you be prepared to accept the offer quickly. Later your home becomes “stale,” attracting less attention and lower offers. Be ready early, and you’re most likely to earn the best sale.
