Greenbank solar project losing leasee By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

A leasee with the Greenbank Farm’s community solar project is terminating its lease at the end of the year. Newport Partners, which is operating under NEF-Greenbank Farm LLC, sent notice of termination June 26 after Port of Coupeville commissioners declined to sign a power purchase agreement. In March, Newport Partners, a California-based group, presented the board with the agreement, which would change the project to a net metering system. After reviewing the agreement and consulting with an attorney, the board declined to change to a net metering system because there was a possibility at times it could end up costing the port money. “The port did not want to take on the risk of potentially losing money,” said Tim McDonald, executive director for the Port of Coupeville. “Power prices are unpre-

Family flees with disabled adult siblings By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Two men are facing felony charges for allegedly fleeing a courtroom in Coupeville with their developmentally disabled brothers after a judge granted custody of the vulnerable adults to their niece, court documents state. Prosecutors charged 63-year-old Allen R. Shipman and 74-year-old Jerry G. Shipman in Island County Superior Court June 30 with two counts each of first-degree custodial interference. Both men are West Richland residents. An Island County Superior Court judge pro tem ordered during a hearing last fall that the men’s niece would be the legal guardian and have sole custody of the two brothers, who were diagnosed with

Fort like home for park ranger By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

It can be little unsettling when Jon Crimmins looks back to his teenage years spent at Fort Casey State Park. Crimmins, the park manager who runs Fort Casey and four other state parks on Whidbey Island, grew up just down the road from the former U.S. military installation and spent much of his childhood making it his own personal playground. He laughs as he shares tales of teenage mischief, including the embarrassing moment when he ran into a beam and got a concussion during a game of “Capture the Flag,” then bites his lip as he remembers his place as parent and role model. Crimmins and his wife Jodi are raising two teenagers at their home that rests on the same Fort Casey grounds that serve as the backdrop for so many childhood stories. “Some of the stories I don’t tell them,” Crimmins said, breaking into a smile. Crimmins, a 1993 graduate of Coupeville High School, is in his 15th year serving as a ranger with the Washington Parks Service and second at Fort Casey. As an area manager, he covers larger territory, also watching over Joseph Whidbey,

Fort Ebey, South Whidbey and Possession Point state parks. But Fort Casey, the place he knows intimately, is his home base. Although the terrain he covers is familiar, his position as area manager of Central Whidbey State Parks is new. Cutbacks within the state parks system led to the creation of one area manager overseeing five state parks. Crimmins was finishing his third year across Admiralty Inlet at a different fort site, Fort Flagler State Park on Marrowstone Island, when he applied for the position and got the job. He had previously worked eight years at South Whidbey State Park. “I was either really naive or I really liked the challenge, or maybe both,” Crimmins said. “Nobody had ever done this.”

Fuel float bids come in $30,000 over estimate By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Port of Coupeville is going to have to dip into its reserve funds after three bids to replace the wharf’s fuel floats came in over estimate. Commissioners for the port anticipated the project to cost around $90,000 and do have a $70,000 rural economic development grant for the project. Commissioners approved a bid Monday from Marine Floats Corporation out of Tacoma for just under $128,000. “Had we bid this last year, it’d been a $90,000 project,” said Kelly LaFave, from Marine Structures Engineering. “Everyone is just so busy.” Commissioners reviewed the three bids, which ranged in estimates from $127,000 to $147,000. Although, each bid was very similar. The project proposal was very narrow in scope, said Commissioner Bill

Larsen. “There was no wiggle room. “There aren’t any viable alternatives. We have to move forward.” The board voted unanimously to approve the bid and dip into reserves to cover the additional costs. The project includes replacing and disposing of the wharf’s fuel floats. “We do require proof of legal disposal so they don’t show up somewhere with our name on them,” LaFave said. The new fuel floats have a different design that will address breakage issues. Marine Floats has from after Sept. 15 to Nov. 15 to complete the project, which has a four-day window to complete once started, McDonald said. “If they’re smart, they’ll take advantage of the better weather in the later part of September,” he said. While the project is underway, there will be times when the wharf cannot serve fuel customers.

Summer picnic slated July 26 By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The newly formed Friends of Ebey’s has a lot to celebrate this month. The group, earlier this month, finalized and signed a memorandum or understanding with the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. It’s also organizing the annual Summer Picnic as the officially designated nonprofit fundraising organization for the reserve. “It’s been a lot of work to establish the Friends,” said Kyle Waterman, executive director for the Friends of Ebey’s. “Within a year, we have taken what used to be a reserve committee and recruited a new board, received our IRS designation to become a nonprofit, set up a website and finalized this agreement with the Trust Board. “All while continuing to fundraise significantly for the reserve.” One of the benefits of creating the nonprofit, Waterman said, is it allows the group to accept additional funding opportunities such as legacies and other

financial gifts. It also separates the fundraising from the government-run reserve. “We celebrate successes and support programs the Trust Board chooses to have,” Waterman said. “The memorandum of understanding gives us a process of where we fit in with the Trust Board.” The Friends’ fundraising goal this year is $100,000, and there is a $50,000 challenge match. “This year has been a lot of planning and developing who we are,” Waterman said. The board currently has eight members, including non-voting advisory members that include reserve staff. Waterman said the group is entirely focused on fundraising and supporting reserve programs. So far this fiscal year, the Friends have offered more than $15,000 in support for Trust Board projects. “The majority of the funding is going into Ebey’s Forever Grants,” Waterman said. “Ideally, we would like to support more programs and operation costs.” One of the Friends’ major fundraising projects this year is the Summer

Picnic. On Saturday, July 26, Friends of Ebey’s will host the Summer Picnic 4-7 p.m. at Fort Casey. The evening will feature guided tours of the fort, food by Serendipity Catering, raffles and entertainment by the Pakawalups, a trio of sisters performing a USO-style show. Waterman describes the women as lively and full of energy. The Summer Picnic has always had entertainment, but never really a “show,” Waterman said. The last few years were held at the Ferry House, and the Friends wanted to try something different this year. “We wanted it to be a more festive event,” he said. “We want to bring something new to it every summer. “We want the opportunity to highlight other historic structures in the reserve.” Space is limited and tickets must be purchased prior to the event. n Tickets may be purchased at bayleaf, Blooms Tasting Room in Bayview or at www.FriendsofEbeys.org

OLF key issue in congressional race By JANIS REID

Guillot said the country needs to look at how to fund transportation projects but will not support any type of gas tax because gas is already too expensive. “We do have a crumbling infrastructure and we need to come up with a way to fix these things,” Guillot said.

Staff reporter

The Navy’s use of Outlying Field Coupeville to train the EA-18G Growlers is a critical topic for this year’s congressional primary, which ends Aug. 5. Coupeville-based group Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, has been openly critical of sitting Congressman Rick Larsen and his support of the Navy. COER maintains the flight training in Coupeville poses health risks. Larsen’s two challengers take opposite stands on the issue. Larsen, a Democrat, said he’ll continue to support use of OLF by the Growlers stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. “I support keeping it open and I support the Growlers,” Larsen said. “I’ve been a strong supporter of the Navy and it’s been a huge economic driver for North Whidbey.” COER, however, maintains that the noise from the Growlers pose health risks. “I understand where people are coming from, which is why me and my staff spent a lot of time getting the Navy to listen to people and their concerns and try to be responsive as an elected official,” Larsen said. “Opponents will conclude from this that I’m not listening. “Just because I disagree doesn’t mean I’m not listening. From my outreach, I believe there is strong local support to close OLF, but it’s not the majority.” Independent challenger and Occupy organizer Mike Lapointe said Larsen has not been responsive enough to those concerned about the Growlers. Lapointe, who grew up near Westfield-Barnes Airport in Massachusetts, said he experienced similar jet noise. COER sued the Navy last

year, demanding an environmental study on the Growlers. COER members appear to be throwing their support behind Lapointe on their blog. “I can relate to their problem,” said Lapointe in a phone interview. “I don’t understand how this can be mitigated. The Navy has been non-responsive. … We shouldn’t have to be suing our own government to get some response.” Larsen’s Republican opponent, computer programmer BJ Guillot, said closure of OLF and rebasing of the Growlers would hurt North Whidbey. “I think it would be devastating to the local economy if the Growlers aren’t able to fly,” Guillot said. “I’m not in favor of closing the OLF.” Guillot said, though, he’d be willing to listen to COER and other concerned residents. FEDERAL BUDGET Larsen conceded that the last federal budget cycle, marked with party politics and delays, “politically didn’t go well for anyone.” However, he said he hopes the response from constituents and the legislator frustration with the process has

created a “self-enforcement mechanism” that will improve things moving forward. Larsen said he’s aware that the threat of sequestration is frustrating for the federal employees in Oak Harbor. “We need to do everything we can to avoid that,” Larsen said. “We still have structural budget problems and we need a balanced deficit reduction plan but not at the cost of the things we need.” Lapointe calls the last budget cycle “pathetic.” “It’s an obvious symptom of what happens when the government has been taken over by corporate interests,” he said. Lapointe said he will “raise holy hell” to make sure the people have a place at the table. “There’s something wrong ... when elected officials can’t do what is wanted by 85 percent of their constituents.” Guillot said that while he supports a balanced budget amendment, he believes that Congress needs to “come together and compromise.” “The two sides are polar opposites,” Guillot said. “We need to come up with some compromised decisions.”

GUILLOT:

“I think it would be devastating to the local economy if the Growlers aren’t able to fly.”

TRANSPORTATION Larsen said Congress needs to find a long-term, sustainable solution for the shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund. He said transportation funding also helps the economy and creates jobs. “There is a federal role in transportation,” Larsen said. “Island County cannot meet all their transportation needs and we need to support that.” Lapointe said he’s noticed an upsetting decline in funding for transportation in recent years. “Now bridges are falling into the water and no one is doing anything about it,” he said. Lapointe said he would make concessions when necessary to ensure that the country’s priorities like transportation are funded.

HEALTH CARE Larsen said he continues to support the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and that adjustments can be made “as we go along.” While the measure has increased access to healthcare and reduced the cost of prescriptions for seniors, additional changes can and should be made, Larsen said. Lapointe said Obamacare is “ridiculous,” although it “obviously does some good things.” “What it does not do is get the insurance companies out of the equation,” Lapointe said.

Lapointe said he’d favor a “Medicaid for all” type plan nationwide. Obamacare should be repealed, according to Guillot, although he said there are a few things within it he’d like to retain. Guillot supports children staying on parental insurance until the age of the 26 and not preventing insurance coverage due to preexisting conditions.

Lapointe, Larsen should continue with OLF debate In the race for Rick Larsen’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a debate over Coupeville’s Outlying Field has become a key issue. There are two sides to the argument over what do about the hot-button topic of jet noise, and voters should have a choice between the two points of view going forward to the General Election. Larsen, a Democrat, maintains the Navy’s touch-and-go field is vital to the Navy and, therefore, important to Whidbey Island and the North Whidbey economy. Independent challenger Mike Lapointe says the Outlying Field is a real problem for Central Whidbey residents who live within earshot of the Growlers that use the runway. He grew up near the Westfield-Barnes Airport in Massachusetts and knows about jet noise. He says Larsen’s response to public concern has not been enough. He apparently has the support of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, the group that wants to see the OLF closed down. Republican challenger BJ Guillot is another serious candidate, but he echoes Larsen’s thoughts on the OLF issue. He said closing OLF would hurt North Whidbey and is against the idea. Larsen has done a lot for the district during his years in office and deserves to make it through the primary. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, he has worked especially hard to support the Navy bases in Everett and on Whidbey Island and to ensure local veterans have access to their benefits. Lapointe is an independent voice who is willing to challenge some of Larsen’s views on the touchy subject of the military. Ballots for the Aug. 5 primary are going out this week. We’d like to see Larsen and Lapointe continue on in this election and face further debates on the issue. Now is the time for those not-so-vocal citizens to get up and ask the tough questions.

Share the road with thousands of racers Editor, Prepare for an invasion. Sometime on Friday, thousands of men, women and children — well, teenagers — will arrive on Whidbey and traverse a combined total of approximately 34,000 miles of the island … on foot. It’s that time of year again for Ragnar Northwest Passage, a 195-mile running race that begins Friday morning in Blaine and ends in Langley on South Whidbey on Saturday. Nearly 6,000 participants with 520 teams will run, eat, sleep and repeat, each completing a distance of 13.6 to 19.1 miles. Double that for members of the 50 Ultra teams during this race that runs through

the night. So, while you are out and about on Whidbey Island this weekend, please be patient, we’ll be running on little sleep. Share the road and send a smile or wave our way.

Appreciate candidate forum held last week Editor, I am writing to show my appreciation to the Whidbey Island League of Women Voters and the Sno-Isle Library System for providing Island County voters with another great Voter’s Forum featuring candidates for Island County treasurer and Washington State representative, Legislative District 10, Position 2. The forum was conducted professionally and gave candidates an op-

portunity to answer questions provided by the public as well as League members. Questions regarding the current treasurer’s investment track record, the role of an elected official in carrying out department tasks, management styles, and interdepartmental relations and cooperation were all asked of each candidate. It was apparent that these are issues that affect all tax payers and require close attention. I was impressed by the depth of knowledge of Wanda Grone, Republican candidate for Island County treasurer. I hope you will join me in supporting her election. Democrat Nick Petrish also proved his understanding of state issues and his qualifications to oppose the re-election of current State Representative Dave Hayes in the race for Legislative District 10, Position 2.

Antibiotics can be a blessing and a curse

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc It’s astonishing to think about, but when my grandfather was born, one in five children didn’t live to see their fifth birthday, in large part due to endemic and epidemic diseases. Today that’s all changed. But although doctors can now often do a great deal to help the ill, it’s also true that chronic diseases plague us. And a number of these maladies seem to be on the rise. Diabetes, asthma, celiac disease and food allergies are all increasing in frequency. Most obvious of all, obesity is becoming more and more common. Dr. Martin Blaser of New York University thinks he understands at least part of what’s going on. And according to him, medical treatments themselves are contributing to the rise of some chronic health problems. His new book, “Missing Microbes: How the

overuse of antibiotics is fueling our modern plagues,” explores the link between changes in our internal microbes and the list of chronic diseases so many of us now face. Antibiotics are a blessing. But if Blaser is right, they are also a curse. Both things can be true. To take just one malady, let’s focus on obesity. Our bodies host many trillions of microorganisms, and important changes in those populations occur when we take antibiotics. Blaser’s book outlines the ways in which a number of microorganisms, including ones that are useful to you, are affected when you take antibiotics. Most antibiotics don’t end up in pills we get from pharmacies. Instead, most of the drugs go into the cattle, swine and poultry that we eat. The reason so much antibiotic is given to livestock is that the animals gain more weight when they are given antibiotics in their feed. It pays for farmers to buy antibiotics and give them to whole herds. Blaser’s book asks whether antibiotics given to people could have a similar effect as in livestock. Antibiotics, especially those given to kids, may be leading both to more growth and to putting on more fat, including in later life. The book re-

views experiments with mice in Blaser’s lab that address this connection, as well as studies in human populations. Blaser concludes we may be inadvertently fattening up our young in our rush to use antibiotics to treat every sore throat or cough. As Blaser sees it, antibiotics contribute to obesity and a host of other chronic diseases that have been on the rise. He argues that our attitudes need to change. Doctors should be trained to think twice before prescribing antibiotics. The drugs should be reserved for truly serious conditions that aren’t going away on their own. “Doctors and patients alike have never fully taken into account all the costs of using antibiotics. Once they do, I predict their use, especially in early childhood, will greatly diminish,” Blaser wrote in an email to me. The progress we’ve made combatting many bacterial diseases is stupendous. But it’s time we looked at what the overuse of antibiotics may be costing us. Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist at Princeton and Harvard.

Central Whidbey Little League put the final touches on a successful summer with state tournament appearances by two of its teams. The 13/14 junior softball team won one of three games at Shoreline’s Meridian Park, and the 9/10 team fell twice in sweltering Asotin.

Juniors win middle of three games

Ridgefield used small ball to get big results in an 11-4 win over Central Whidbey in the first round Saturday, July 12. Boosted by the bat of Sarah Wright and the arm of Bella Northup, Central Whidbey won a 4-1 thriller over Bellevue/Mercer Island Sunday. After that defensive showdown, Central Whidbey lost a 15-12 slugfest to Woodinville Monday. Ridgefield never drove the ball past the infield, recording seven infield hits, most coming from bunts. It was also aided by an erratic Central Whidbey defense, which bobbled grounders and dropped thrown balls. Central Whidbey pitchers Katrina McGranahan and Northup combined to strikeout 11 but walked six and hit a batter. Ridgefield wasted little time, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning. Two walks, a hit and several errors and wild pitches gave

Ridgefield the lead. Ridgefield stretched the gap to 7-0 in the third, tacking on four more runs from three walks and two infield hits. Meanwhile, the Central Whidbey offense struggled early against hard-throwing Sarah Jenkins. Jenkins enticed Central Whidbey to chase high fastballs out of the strike zone and fanned the first five hitters. She finished with 15 K’s. Central Whidbey’s Robin Cedillo and Hope Lodell collected the team’s first hits in the third inning and pushed across a run. Central Whidbey added three more runs in the fourth when the first three hitters all singled. McGranahan and Wright, both first-pitch swinging, lined base hits, and Emily Licence beat out a grounder to load the bases. A wild pitch allowed McGranahan to score. A ground out and a throw to first when the catcher didn’t catch strike three resulted in the other runs. McGranahan tripled in the sixth and scored on a wild pitch. McGranahan and Lodell each finished with two hits. In the fifth inning against Bellevue/Mercer Island, McGranahan singled and then Wright drilled a two-run home run to snap a 1-1 tie. Northup, the lone South Whidbey player on the team, buzzed through the District 9 lineup with a one-hitter, striking out nine and walk-

Central Whidbey’s first run came on Robin Cedillo’s RBI single that drove home Northup. Hope Lodell tacked on the final run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Central Whidbey shook off the first-game jitters that haunted it in the opener to play error-free, fundamental defense, according to coach Kevin McGranahan.

Crownover highlighted the offense in the loss to Woodinville. Central Whidbey finished the year with an 18-3 record.

9/10 team battles heat and foes

The stay at the Little League 9/10 state softball tournament was a short one for Central/South Whidbey, but the island girls enjoyed the adventure. “Overall, it was a great experience for the girls,” assistant coach Mimi Johnson said. “They are amped up and ready to keep working on their skills. I’m excited to watch this group of girls grow as they continue to play together.” Central Whidbey was a victim of a perfect game in a 15-0, four-inning loss to Woodinville in the opener Saturday in Asotin. “Pretty much a rough game,” coach Lark Gustafson said. “The other team played great.” Sunday, Central Whidbey fell to Sammamish 12-2 in four innings. “Our girls played much better,” Johnson said. Coral Caveness doubled to drive in Central Whidbey’s

runs. Mollie Bailey added a single and Stella Johnson walked for other offensive highlights. The 3 p.m. game was played in 100-plus heat, Johnson said.

Regardless of the defeat, the players, in typical 9/10 spirit, jumped into the river, uniforms and all, to cool down before heading for pizza.

Stars were out at the Coupeville Library Astronomy group holds event for teens By Kelly Pantoleon Staff Reporter

“How many stars do you see in the middle of the handle?” asked Richard Everett, a member of the Island County Astronomical Society, as he pointed to the Big Dipper with a crowd of people gathering around him. According to Everett, legend has it that Alexander the Great would test his soldiers by asking them how many stars make up the point in the middle of the handle of the Big Dipper. “If they could see two, they could be in his army,” Everett said. Everett and other members of the astronomy group led a stargazing event at the Coupeville Library Monday night. The evening event lasted until about 11 p.m. and was the second of two teen stargazing events at the library Monday. At the earlier event at 1 p.m., Everett taught a class of seven teens about astronomy and the smart-phone apps they can use to see the night sky. Everett himself has about 40 astronomy-related apps, some he paid for and some he got free. “In my whole life, no one knew anything about the back side of the moon,” Everett said. “Now there’s an app for that.” Everett used the “Convert Units” free app to show that one light year (a common unit used to measure distance in astronomy) is 5.878625 x10^12 miles. That’s about 6 trillion miles. He also showed the teenagers NASA apps and apps that show light pollution, the moon and the sun. Everett talked with the kids about different galaxies. “I heard the Milky Way galaxy might merge with the Andromeda galaxy,” a girl at the front of the room said.

Dan Pullen, a founding member of the Island County Astronomical Society, was one of the leaders at the stargazing event at the Coupeville Library Monday night. She was right. Everett said there are about 300 billion galaxies and that it has been predicted that the Andromeda galaxy will collide with our Milky Way. But this won’t happen for billions of years. At the evening event, Everett said he knew the teens at the afternoon event were into astronomy because of how much they knew. “When someone knows about Crab Nebulas … yeah,” Everett said, trailing off. Out of the about 10 people who came to the night stargazing event, only one, Dustin Scharwat of Coupeville, was a teenager. Dustin’s mother, Paula, said she and her husband went to one of the “star parties” that the astronomy

group hosts before she had children. She saw Saturn that night and has been hooked on astronomy since. When Dustin was about 8, she brought him to an astronomy event, but he was too young. Now, she said, he’s more interested and can understand more of what’s going on. Paula and the other stargazers saw Saturn again Monday night. “Isn’t that cool?” said Ruth Nielson as she looked through her telescope and saw the ringer planet. “Especially when you’re used to gluing the rings on at school.” Nielson is a member of the astronomy group and Friend sof the Coupeville Library. Ruth and Andy Nielson brought a telescope kit, which costs about $500 and includes

two eyepieces, a Dobsonian mounted telescope, a stand and a “finderscope” that allowed gazers to see Saturn. The attendees also got to see Polaris — AKA the North Star — Mars, Vega, Spica and Arcturus. Dan Pullen, a founding member of the astronomy group, brought his telescope. His telescope was an Orion, one of three brands the astronomers agreed was topnotch. “One of the misconceptions of astronomy is that you can see more with greater magnification,” Everett said. He explained that the focal

length of the telescope and eye piece are more crucial in getting bigger, clearer images of the stars and other stuff in the sky. “That (more magnification) might be good on Mars, where you have less atmosphere,” Everett said as the rest of the astronomers who understood the joke laughed. Everett said that for people who are starting out, binoculars are much less expensive and still work pretty well. As the gazers pointed toward a star in the horizon, seemingly lower to the ground, Andy Nielson ex-

plained why it looked like it was twinkling. “It’s flashing because it’s down in the mush,” he said. “We’re looking through miles of atmosphere.” But if you look straight up instead of out into the distance, the stars are clearer because there is less atmosphere, or mush, to look through. Kate Poss, the new teen contact at the library, said she loves bringing people out there and getting them to look at the night sky. “It kind of opens their mind, in a way,” she said. “I feel lucky to see this.” At the end of the event, a double star called Albireo was also visible. “I’m trying to find Albireo,” Pullen said as he crouched next to his telescope and adjusted the eyepiece. As it turns out, Albireo looks as though it’s one star if you’re looking up without a telescope. But when you look through the eyepiece, two stars appear. They are bound together by their mutual gravitational attraction. This is common for stars. The solitary sun is somewhat unusual among the heavenly bodies of the universe.

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

RANGER: Grad returns to manage parks From page 1 The decision to come home —literally — has been popular with the family. Aiden Crimmins, 15, and his sister Maggie, 14, might not freely admit it, but they recognize that their dad has a cool job in a cool place. On top of that, living inside Fort Casey State Park isn’t a bad deal for them, either. “It’s really fun to have that in your backyard,” Aiden said, pointing to a wide expanse of grass and the old fort with the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain range in the background. For Jon Crimmins, 38, he couldn’t be happier to be back home on familiar footing. “I always loved Fort Casey,” he said. “I always thought it would be an awesome place to work. “I grew up on Fort Casey Road. I went to the Camp Casey pool. We’d play Capture the Flag at Fort Casey. I got my first concussion there.” Crimmins’ encounter with the beam as a teenager wasn’t funny at the time but he could laugh about it a little decades later. It’s ironic now that it his job to patrol the very same park where he partook in shenanigans.

Fort Casey is filled with chilly, dark rooms and halls built at the turn of the 19th century that served as places for thrills and pranks when Crimmins and his wife were teens in Coupeville. He shares tales with his kids about many of these sites, including one chamber in particular that was popular back then, known as the Switchboard, which was a base for communications at the old fort. The door to the Switchboard is locked these days except during special tours. A hallway leads to the room, which is surrounded by a narrow space that allows visitors to walk around it. “It’s a box within a box,” Crimmins said, adding that the design protected the sensitive equipment from the concussions of gun blasts at the fort. As he gave his kids a recent tour of the room, he pointed out that as a youth, it was a common prank to reach through a small hole and grab the feet of passersby in the tight space surrounding it. Some would drop pebbles from above. “Did you do that?” Maggie Crimmins asked her dad. “No, I never did that,” Jon Crimmins responded, feigning a serious tone.

SOLAR: Three lots remain incomplete From page 1

Jon Crimmins is at home in the Admiralty Head Lighthouse at Fort Casey State Park. He grew up near the park. Jodi Crimmins knows better. She remembers coming to Fort Casey in high school. “A typical day coming here in the summer, there were constant screams coming from that part of the park,” she said. Jon Crimmins wants visitors to experience some of the fun he treasured as a kid. Yet guests’ safety is of paramount importance at Fort Casey and all of the parks he oversees. He acknowledged that old friends will tell him he has one of the best jobs on the planet. He won’t argue, but said the job doesn’t have the glamour that one might envision. “But it truly is a great job,” he said, “because there’s such a variety in what you could do. No day is the same for me.” Within the state parks, Crimmins has the authority

to enforce laws and make arrests. He’s grateful that such incidents are rare at his parks, with enforcement typically involving citations for parking violations. “During the winter I can find myself throwing on coveralls and digging ditches and fixing broken pipes,” Crimmins said. “The next minute, I could be sitting doing paperwork for hours on end. I could be off training. I could be doing interpretative talks at schools. “For me now, I get to spend a lot of time with community groups trying to imagine what we could have here and grow this place and make it even more of a community park. That’s something I really enjoy doing.” Evidently, Jon Crimmins is all grown up now.

dictable. “The board is conscience of doing the right thing for the port.” McDonald said that the port also couldn’t enter into that type of agreement because of how management at Greenbank Farm is set up. The contract would require the entity that pays the bills at the farm to sign. The port doesn’t pay utilities at the farm; the Greenbank Farm Management group does. Newport Partners’ lease is up at the end of 2014 and the group is offering to let the port purchase the equipment it already invested into the project for $135,000. That cost includes sales tax, engineering services and insurance costs. At this time the board has no interest in purchasing the equipment, said Commissioner Marshall Bronson. The port is, however, requesting Newport Partners provide an itemized list of the equipment they currently have installed. This is so the port can make sure equipment from other leasees isn’t accidentally removed, McDonald said. Greenbank Farm has six, 1/6 acre lots dedicated to community solar, McDonald said. Currently, there are three groups leasing those

lots. Cascade Community Wind and Solar out of Bellevue leased three lots in 2011. Island Community Solar, a Whidbey Island based group, leased two lots in 2010 and in mid-2012 Newport Partners leased one lot and took over two lots from Cascade Community Wind and Solar. The port charges $200 per lot, per year and also receives 1 percent of the leasees’ gross energy sales as well as 1 percent of the state and federal incentives they receive. Of the six lots, only three of them are currently operational. While the framework is in place for the three lots leased by Newport Partners, the group had yet to install panels and start generating energy. There is the potential for Newport Partners to sell all of its investment and transfer its lease to another group. McDonald said the port would be open to having another group lease the three lots if Newport Partner does walk away completely. Commissioner Bill Larsen emphasized that Newport Partners terminating its lease will not affect the community solar program. “The array will continue to function,” he said. “It will remain intact, just on a smaller scale.”

Officers in Arkansas found the two men and they were returned to the niece’s custody. The niece had to place the two men at a senior living home due to their failing health, the report states.
