Maxwelton salmon vigil continues

Whidbey Watershed Stewards volunteer Gregg Ridder and Robin Clark, the organization’s program manager, examine a cutthroat fry caught in a fish trap.

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record A stickleback and a whole lot of Western tent caterpillars don’t count, so the total for the day was one — a single cutthroat trout fry measuring barely one-inch long. But no coho smolt.

For Whidbey Watershed Stewards, a group that has for the past 10 years spent every May counting salmon smolt and fry twice a day in Maxwelton Creek, that’s not too bad. This year is a bit better than normal, but the average tally at the end of the four-week run rarely exceeds double digits. It wasn’t always so, however.

“Our smolt count is about 100 and it should be tens of thousands,” said Gregg Ridder, a Clinton resident who has monitored the organization’s trap on French since 2005. Whidbey Watershed Stewards is a South Whidbey-based SEE SMOLT, A14

First Street neighbors differ over development By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Ben Watanabe / The Record

This unmanaged bluff in Langley, the site of a proposed six-story, commercial/residential building, would be built into for the foundation.

Grumbling over a proposed sixstory, 19,000-square-foot development has Langley buzzing. When Richard Francisco, the owner of the First Street property that includes Village Pizzeria, presented the plan to the city council and Langley Planning Advisory Board earlier this month, some 50 people packed council chambers.

Lots of questions were raised about the process, the need and the cost of building a parking garage for the 14 residences, two restaurants, and several more office spaces and retail fronts. Such a major change riled up plenty of people in town. Losing the view of Saratoga Passage and the Cascades was a major concern for Lorie McNeill. At a later Langley City Council meeting

May 19, she told the council they had to consider how a higher building would affect both residents and businesses. “For me, that third story has a negative impact on my second story,” she said. “Is three stories appropriate, not just for me, but for the town?” she later asked.

‘Ruse’ was used to elicit incriminating statements By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The lawyer for former Coupeville deputy marshal Hodges Gowdey says a “ruse” was used to get his client to make self-incriminating statements. During an evidentiary hearing Friday, attorney Chris Skinner said that Gowdey’s statements during an interview with Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner should be inadmissible because they were gathered under false pretense. Friday’s hearing in Island County Superior Court, which included testimony by Gardner, who works for the Oak Harbor Police Department, Gowdey and former town marshal Lance Davenport, was continued until next week. After the evidentiary hearing is completed, Judge Alan Hancock is expected to make a ruling on whether or not Gowdey’s interview with Gardner is admissible evidence. GOWDEY WAS charged in February with unlawful imprisonment and witness tampering after his former girlfriend told Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck about an alleged 2007 incident. The event was the focus of an internal investigation at that time and no wrongdoing was found. Gowdey reportedly handcuffed his former girlfriend and subsequently said he did it because he thought she was suicidal. Later, Gowdey allegedly coached her to omit parts of the story, according to court documents. THE INCIDENT came to light again, however, during a routine check by the Island

County Sheriff’s Office into Gowdey’s background. The former girlfriend changed her story from the 2007 version while speaking with Mauck in 2013 and added new information, according to Skinner. Davenport said Friday he worked with the sheriff’s office and agreed that the Oak Harbor Police Department should conduct the investigation into the allegations against Gowdey to avoid potential conflicts of interest. The former girlfriend, until recently, was an employee of the Oak Harbor Police Department. The Snohomish Sheriff’s Department has since taken over the investigation. ON THE morning of his arrest, Sept. 7, Gowdey arrived at work and was asked by Davenport to sit down with Oak Harbor police detectives. Several members from various law enforcement agencies were also on site but out of sight, according to Davenport. Davenport said he and Gardner agreed that Gowdey, who was being investigated on the criminal allegation, would be told that he was meeting with Oak Harbor detectives as part of “an internal investigation” concerning a police department staff member. D A V E N P O R T INITIALLY testified that Gardner was the source of the “internal investigation” idea, but later restated it as someone from the police department. “At that point, that was the plan we came up with,” Davenport said. “You never volunteered anything (to Gowdey) about

the accuracy of what was going on,” Skinner said. “No, I did not,” Davenport said. In the case of an internal investigation, law enforcement officers must be given a Garrity warning which forces them to comply and answer all questions truthfully or be fired, but those statements cannot be used in court. In the case of a criminal investigation, suspects must be read their Miranda rights. “THE GOAL of the internal investigation is to get the information …” Skinner said. “You want to make sure people understand they are free to talk and it won’t be used against them in a court of law.” Despite the claim that police were conducting an internal investigation, Gardner testified she read Gowdey his Miranda rights before beginning the interview. Gowdey testified that this confused him since he was in the room with the understanding that he was in the room to help with an internal investigation. Gowdey testified that he asked Gardner if he was a suspect and that she dodged the question and refused to inform him he was a suspect. Gowdey testified that he said, “If I am a suspect, this interview is over.” Gardner said it is her training to “continue on until they ask for an attorney.” “You didn’t tell him the truth … because he was a suspect,” Skinner said. “Correct,” Gardner

Based on what he was told, and believing he was not a suspect, Gowdey testified that he continued to talk to Gardner. While being questioned by Skinner, Gardner repeatedly said she didn’t recall telling Gowdey that the police department was conducting an internal investigation. “I remember there was a plan for an investigation,” Gardner said. “I don’t recall if it was internal.” Prior to interviewing Gowdey, Gardner said she had “weak, weak probable cause” in the case against the former deputy marshal and “wanted more than that.”

for the Washington State Patrol. The victim, Kelly Wayne Shields, 49, of Anacortes, was leaving the parking lot of Liberty Market when he attempted to cross the highway, according to State Patrol reports. Francis said Brian K. Williams, 52, of Burlington was driving in a Black Ford Expedition northbound on Highway 20 when Shields pulled out in front of him. Shields died at the scene. “He wasn’t wearing a helmet,” Francis said. “Though I’m not sure it’d make a difference. “It was fatal from the get-go.” Police said they do not believe Williams was impaired and said he voluntarily submitted to testing, Francis said. The cause of the accident was Shields’ failure to yield, according to the State Patrol, and no charges against Williams are pending. Highway 20 was temporarily closed while police investigated. Traffic was routed around the accident, but did cause backups in both directions. In an email sent to the Whidbey News-Times, Robert Berka said, “He was my very good friend. He died in front of me. He will be missed.”

fishing for halibut earlier this month near Anacortes. Punch’s friend, Aaron Manisi, asked him what he ought to do with some trout that stayed in his freezer too long. “I said, ‘Give them to me,’” Punch said. “We used to use (fish) heads to catch catfish back home.” The Southern remedy worked wonders in Puget Sound waters, too. Using fish heads as bait, Punch, with the help of his friends, reeled in a 103pound halibut on May 9, the opening day of recreational halibut fishing in north Puget Sound. Halibut catches that size are uncommon in Puget Sound waters. Punch, who lives in Oak Harbor, had never caught a fish that

big before. Heather Reed, Coastal Marine Resources Policy Coordinator with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said Punch’s halibut is the biggest she’s heard of caught in Puget Sound so far this season from reported samplings that tend to trickle in slowly. Halibut fishing will continue in Puget Sound in marine areas 5-10 May 29-31 and again June 7, Reed said. Punch said he hooked into the halibut in about 80 feet of water within sight of the Skyline Marina in Anacortes. He said it took about 40 minutes to get him to the boat, where he was harpooned.

Grand opening

Dozens of crystal clear images are framed, matted and hung around Langley’s newest art shop, Poppybank Gallery. Displayed in the space formerly occupied by Wayward Son, next to Whidbey Island Bank, is the work of Christopher Evans. His wife, Leslie Evans, runs the First Street shop while he handles his day job at Microsoft. This is the first time either has owned an art gallery, and is the first time he put his work in an exhibit. Poppybank Gallery’s grand opening is today, mere months after they hit the road in their Airstream travel trailer in what she called a “vision quest.” Originally planned as an open-ended trip between four and 16 months, they were on the road less than 100 days before coming up with the idea to open the gallery. “We came home early,” Leslie said. “We realized we missed Whidbey.” One of their main goals with being first-time gallery owners is to make the space inviting and the art accessible. Showing photographs, they hope, is a simple way to draw in people without the anxiety of feeling pressure to buy a piece then and there. “One of our goals is to not make this intimidating,” Leslie said. “As someone who’s bought expensive art pieces before, I still go in and feel like they’ll think I’m a charlatan.” The photographs are vibrant with color and focus on thunder and lightning storms in the Midwest, tulip fields in Skagit County, a ferry in Puget Sound, and abstract reflexive images.

Publisher’s column

Best of Whidbey launches on South End By KEVEN GRAVES

Did you hear the starting pistol? The annual Best of Whidbey is underway. A true reader’s choice awards, winners proudly display their certificates won over the years in their respective businesses. You also see the official Best of Whidbey logo in advertising. It’s a fun, lighthearted competition that celebrates many of the great things our island community has to

offer. Wednesday’s newspaper saw the return of a paper ballot. For a number of years, the competition was online only. By reintroducing a paper ballot, our intent was to reach out to those people who aren’t Internet savvy, or who simply prefer voting the old fashioned way. It also recognizes the Best of Whidbey’s beginnings as a newspaper contest. The ballot is publishing in the paper only once. The remainder of the contest will be voted online. There is no requirement that a business or organization buy an ad or pay any money whatsoever to be nominated or win Best of Whidbey. None. Nada. Zip. There is no fee for anyone to complete a ballot and turn it in. In fact, from amongst all of the ballots that are submitted, someone will be randomly drawn to win a $100 gift certificate to a Whidbey Island restaurant. While businesses all across Whidbey Island have been recognized and won Best of Whidbey in the past, this year’s contest more purposefully reaches out to all of Whidbey Island, from bridge to ferry. The paper ballots appeared in the South Whidbey Record, The Whidbey Examiner and Whidbey News-Times. The electronic ballots are located on each of the newspapers’ websites. Reader’s choice awards are not new by any means, and the Best of Whidbey dates back many years. Interest in competing — and winning — has grown tremendously. There are people who take Best of Whidbey very seriously, and others not so much. There’s no right or wrong way to approach it. It is not a scientific survey and doesn’t pretend to be. Ultimately, the objective is for everyone to have some fun while offering deserved kudos to some amazing people, places, services, food and products on Whidbey Island. If you haven’t voted already, log on and complete your ballot today. — Keven R. Graves is executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey News Group.

Letters Foster care

Money myth behind foster parents untrue Editor, The popular myth surrounding foster care is that foster parents are in it for the money. This myth is not a reflection of the current reality. In Washington, foster parents are reimbursed at about 50 percent of actual costs that they incur in providing for the children entrusted into their care. This rate of reimbursement falls well below the Child Welfare Act, a federal law that requires the state to provide for the necessities of foster children in exchange for federal funding of its foster care program. Recently, a Washington task force concluded that the state’s inadequate funding was financially punishing foster parents by shifting a significant

portion of costs of caring for children to voluntary foster parents whose personal funds were being depleted as a result. Meanwhile, here on South Whidbey, the community continues to rally with strong support for local foster and relative parents. Thank you, Friendship Star Quilters, for the beautiful, hand-made quilts that you donated for local children who are newly entering foster care. Thank you, South Whidbey, community for your generous response to the first annual Spring Diaper Drive benefitting Island County children who are in foster care. Co-sponsored by Kids First and Soroptomists International of South Whidbey, the drive generated donations of diapers, Pull-ups, baby wipes, clothing and funds, which will be used to purchase more costly diapers for older children.

Island County Fairgrounds proposal. At the time of its unveiling, some thought yea but some thought nay. Have we now studied this proposal? Have we talked to our neighbors? Have we talked to others of a different opinion? I have and have come to the conclusion that most of the proposal is very sound. This property is a cherished part of island history and the memories made here by thousands of islanders must be preserved. The future will not wait for any of us; we either welcome it or we answer to it. Is now the time to welcome the future to our cherished past? Yes, my friends and neighbors, it is. Is this proposal thoughtful? Yes, it is. Could it really happen? Yes, it could. To say no to the future is like saying tomorrow does not exist. My dear friends and neighbors, let us move to the future together with those changes and adaptations as agreed to. Let us build some memories for the next 90 years that would be as cherished as the last 90 have been. The future is ours to share, and I for one would like to share that future with a facility that welcomes many more generations to our Whidbey Island home. Respectfully, DON LAMONTAGNE Freeland

Nursing

Profession dangers are real hazards Editor, I currently work as an RN [registered nurse] at both a large urban medical center and our local hospital. As a nursing student in 1986, I sustained my first injury while trying to care for a mentally ill patient. What I naively thought back then was a “once-in-a-lifetime” occurrence is now commonplace in hospitals both big and small. Many of my co-workers have also been injured by patients in the course of trying to provide safe, quality care. We know this problem has been getting worse because of the downturn in the economy, as cash-strapped states close facilities, cut mental health care, eliminate addiction programs and curtail other resources. Washington state ranks nearly last in

the U.S. in funding mental health care. Patients with significant histories of violence and/or mental illness are brought into emergency rooms because there is nowhere else to take them. Since there is nowhere to send them for appropriate mental health care, they stay at the hospital, putting care providers directly in harm’s way. When a policeman goes out on the job, they know they may encounter violence and are equipped to protect and defend. In health care, we have no such protection. It is important to combat the notion among police, prosecutors, courts — and sometimes, nurses themselves, who are often reluctant to press charges — that violence is just part of our job. The sad reality is that nursing is quickly becoming one of the most assaulted professions. This issue has recently become even more personal for me. Two of my three children have chosen to enter the health care field. My pride is tempered with fear. Where in the past I worried about their exposure to infectious diseases or back injuries, I now also caution them to not get assaulted or to take seriously the threat of a deranged patient who says they will “come after them” when they finish their shift. I urge you to consider the roots of this issue and speak to someone in the profession. Then, join us to bring changes about, for the good of the patients we serve and for those who take care of them.

Rosie Portillo places sixth at state golf tournament By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Through rain, hail, thunder and lightning, consistency was the name of South Whidbey golfer Rosie Portillo’s game at the state 1A championship Thursday. Between the first and second rounds May 28-29, Portillo shot first an 87 followed by an 88. Of the top 10 golfers, only one had a more consistent score than Portillo. Playing steady each day paid off as she ended in sixth place, the best South Whidbey finish since 2002, even if she surprised herself. “I was stunned at how well everything turned out,” said Portillo, a junior. There were plenty of struggles along the way. On Day 1, a sprinkle turned into rain that became a shower that condensed into hail. Portillo, thinking quickly, grabbed the pin from the cup and used the flag to cover her head. “It was like fog it was so thick,” she said. It was also an opportunity for her to stick to her strength of driving and get ahead of the competition. “This was my time to come out,” Portillo said. More than the elements, she had to battle several of her own bad shots. Sand traps proved a formidable foe on the ninth hole on Day 2, when she launched her first shot into one trap bordering the green, then chipped out only to hit into the other, then wedged onto the green, then back into a hazard. “She left some putts hanging out there,” said Falcon coach Tom Sage, who added that Portillo could have shaved strokes with a better short game. “But everybody can.” For all of the difficult tees, she had more that went smoothly, even surprisingly so. Needing four strokes to get on the fifth hole’s green, Portillo nailed a 45-foot putt to make par. There was also

Playing risky was a necessity. Some of the best competition in the tournament came from the Falcon’s league, the Cascade Conference. Four of the top seven golfers at Lake Spanaway Golf Course played for King’s, Coupeville and South Whidbey. Hannah Roh and Charis Tsai of King’s placed fourth and seventh, respectively. Coupeville junior Christine Fields finished two strokes ahead of Portillo for fifth place. Portillo continued a long line of Falcon girl golfers at the state tournament for Sage and South Whidbey. He thanked Useless Bay Golf and Country Club for being South Whidbey’s home course. Not one to accept credit, he praised the work of assistant coach Ron Eaton and volunteer Craig Moore, owner of Holmes Harbor Golf Course. “I’m surrounded by really good people that make it work,” Sage said. The high school season

may be over, but there’s course time ahead for Portillo. Following in the footsteps of state-caliber Falcon golfers before her, she said she would continue to play this summer and planned to enter a few tournaments to keep a competitive edge. “These girls gave me the mindset to get through this stuff,” Portillo said of former teammates like Jenna Kaik, Chelsey Schultz and Hannah Cotton. “I’ll still be working,” she added. Lauryn Keating of Elma High School won the tournament title with 151 strokes, keeping Goldendale’s Bree Wandersheid from her third consecutive championship by one stroke. King’s won the team title with two golfers in the top eight places. Only two other schools, Highland and Seattle Academy, had a shot at the team title because they had two golfers in the second round.

Mayfest, a vision of bustling Clinton By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Ben Watanabe / The Record

The Village Pizzeria would be torn down under Richard Francisco’s proposal for a six-story building that stretches from Seawall Park up past First Street. From the street level, it would rise either three or two stories.

FIRST STREET CONTINUED FROM A1

Langley building code currently limits the height of new construction. Francisco said that by building three stories into the bluff and out of sight from First Street, then splitting them at street level with an open courtyard and elevator to Seawall Park would be a way for the city to maintain some of the sweeping view. Otherwise, a two-story building would span the property, essentially removing the scenic sights people currently take in while strolling down the sidewalks. “We looked at all options,” Francisco said in an interview with The Record earlier this month. Not everyone, however, is questioning Francisco’s proposal. A large new building would be good news, said Tracey Fleisher, owner of Sassy Siren. Located across the street from the shop, it might attract more people who would live, work and/or visit Langley and that means more customers for her clothing boutique.

“I didn’t build this place for the view,” she said. “Retailers should not be concerned about that [view obstructions].” While several people have voiced their concerns about Francisco’s proposal, Langley Chamber of Commerce Director Marc Esterly said he wanted to see how the project unfurled. “I think there are some unanswered questions, let alone the major costs to [do] it, that’ll take a while to sort through,” Esterly said. “If it keeps within the context of the downtown, that’s what matters,” he added. The planning board is reviewing the proposal to see if it would benefit the city, and Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango said a decision would be made on the height allowance in three to six months. Public input will be part of the permit process because the height variance would have to be approved by the city. Planning Advisory Board, Design Review Board and Langley City Council meetings are all options for people to further express their opinions about the possible project.

Later today, the last day of the month, there will be a celebration of Clinton’s past and a toast to its future. Lately, the unincorporated area known for its ferry terminal and little else will have its largest gathering of the year for Mayfest. Formerly called Clinton Days which spanned a weekend, the one-night dinner and a show will bring a spark of energy and vitality to an area that recently has seen lots of “For sale” and “For rent” signs. “Mayfest is the thing to do in Clinton,” said Carol Flax, a member of the Clinton Progressive Association, the organization that oversees the event’s venue, the Clinton Community Hall. “People have really positive associations with it. It’s been part of the community for 100 years — not this building, but as an association,” she added. The party is a major fundraiser for the upkeep of the hall, which hosts everything from election forums and weddings to used book sales for the library and popup restaurants. Flax estimated that the hall is used about 12 days each month — 144 days per year. With the absence of a cafe after Anchor Books and Coffee closed in December 2013, the hall represents one of the last meeting spots in Clinton. “I think it’s really the heart of Clinton,” Flax said. “It’s the only place in Clinton that we gather now.” Clinton Community Hall, previously named the Clinton Progressive Hall, has seen plenty of work in the past year. The reader board was replaced, a new floor was put in the kitchen, and the association

every Saturday for about eight years. While the commitment burns up an hour of his weekend, he believes it’s a small price to pay for the promotion of peace. “It’s to make a conscious presence,” Freeman said. The U.S. seems to be in “a perpetual state of war,” he said, and that the money to fund them would be far better spent on education. “My favorite sign is my one that says, ‘Budget problems? End the wars,’ ” Freeman said. “It’s really quite simple.” As for the South Whidbey Women in Black, they began

standing in silent vigil in 2006, inspired by the Coupeville Women in Black. Lynn Hays, Morris and Shanti began with a small group in Langley.

With singular style, Burke defies genre The 3rd Tuesday Book Discussion Group will meet at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 17 at Freeland Library. Join them for a discussion of “The Tin Roof Blowdown” by James Lee Burke. In a singular style that defies genre, Burke has created a hauntingly bleak picture of life in New Orleans after Katrina. Filled with complex characters and depictions of people at both their best and worst, “The Tin Roof Blowdown” is not only an action-packed crime thriller, but a poignant story of courage and sacrifice that critics are already calling Burke’s best work.

organization with a three-part mission: to promote watershed stewardship, habitat enhancement, and environmental education for all ages. Stewards like Ridder believe the Maxwelton watershed was once a hive of spawning salmon and smolt, the biological stage in which fry begin the transition from freshwater to saltwater fish and start migrating out of estuaries and streams. In fact, historical reports indicate the area was once so thick with the carcasses of spawned salmon that farmers would shovel them up for use as fertilizer. That all changed with the development of waterfront homes on Maxwelton Beach and the closing of the estuary long ago. Improvements to a tide gate in 2006 may have made some difference, but numbers are a pale reflection of the past. “It’s just a small remnant of what used to be here,” Ridder said. According to Robin Clark, program manager for Whidbey Watershed Stewards and the organization’s restoration ecologist, some dispute that any salmon exist in the watershed at all, despite the annual count.

Justin Burnett / The Record

Robin Clark and Gregg Ridder of Whidbey Watershed Stewards check the organization’s fish trap on French Road as part of the annual May smolt count. “Old timers will say, ‘There’s no fish in that creek,’ ” Clark said. She emphasized that the data gathered in the annual testing may demonstrate the need for future improvements to the tide gate, but the group has no ambitions of removing it altogether or making radical changes to the beachfront community. Rather, the annual count is utilized as a tool for gauging water quality and is an opportunity for education about a

fish that plays an instrumental role in the environment, she said. “Our whole ecosystem is based on salmon,” Clark said. They are a food source for eagles, ospreys, black bears, marine mammals and other fish, to name just a few; even the bodies of spawned salmon provide essential nutrients to the surrounding environment. “You can go on and on,” Clark said. Whidbey schools have

been quick to take advantage of the organization, and its dedication toward improving the health of the Maxwelton Watershed. Students from all over the island utilize the Outdoor Classroom, located on the creek, with teachers incorporating salmon lifecycle lessons into class curriculum. Earlier this year, about 100 South Whidbey Elementary School fifth graders reared 250 coho eggs in an aquarium then released the fry into

environment in the Pacific Northwest, so efforts like the annual smolt count and partnering with local schools to educate future generations simply makes sense. “If the salmon population goes down, the whole system goes down,” he said. That importance is why longtime volunteers like Ridder keeping coming back, year after year. He spends every May slipping into wet waders and picking dead tent caterpillars out of a fish trap because learning about salmon and their impact matters. At the very least, the data collected is demonstrating one thing. “The big conclusion is fish are still able to make it up this stream,” Ridder said.

Self-esteem is a very important quality among the fire signs. You become more aware of your own value and your loved ones show how much they appreciate you.

TAURUS

You focus your attention on the family. You may also realize there isn’t much time left before you move, and this realization is a source of stress. Take a few big breaths.

GEMINI

You have lots to say for yourself. You succeed in exorcising even the smallest of worries by talking about it to a person who is able to advise you.

CANCER

If you have even the slightest financial or emotional concern, a sudden brainwave or even a dream is likely to give you the best solution.

LEO

The status quo is intolerable and you so you decide to forge ahead. You succeed in putting your fears and anxieties behind you as you push forward in the right direction.

VIRGO

You may discover you have some new talents of an artistic nature. One thing is certain, you will demonstrate amazing creativity. You devote yourself to a cause close to your heart.

SAGITTARIUS

A summer trip seems to be taking shape. Even though time is short, take the time to make all the necessary preparations. Some sort of training session will also be very beneficial.
