The refinery has continuously supported the program since 1994. During this time of severe budget cuts in Island County, the WSU Cooperative Extension programs arc increasingly dependent on community support. "We are immensely grateful for this donation because it will help us continue to educate island residents about our fragile ecosystems and water sources and how to care for them," said Don Meehan, WSU Extension Agent for Island County. WSU Beach Watchers is a Cooperative Extension program established in Island County in 1989. Its trained volunteers work to protect and preserve Puget Sound waters through education, research, and public awareness. Their goal i.., to !o~tcr a steward..,hip ethic among the people who live, work, and play in this area. Since l 990, 13 classes have graduated from WSU Beach Watchers training, which consists of I 00 hours of instruction. To date, 220 Beach "Walche1::, have volunteered more than 80,000 hours and currently average I 0,000 hours per year, the equivalent of five full-time employees. This is an example of the way WSU Cooperative Extension utilizes trained volunteers to leverage their educational outreach to the community. In addition to their service as educators at schools, community events, parks, and on state ferries, Beach Watcher volunteers are the critical work force behind an extensive beach monitoring program. As part of this program, volunteers document characteristics of each beach and record the presence of plants and animals in the intertidal zone. Detailed information is collected and reviewed for any noteworthy changes from year to year. In the year 2002, 33 beaches were monitored: 24 on Whidbey Island, 8 on Camano Island and one at Rosario Beach on Fidalgo Island. Tom Smith, Plant Manager, presented the check to Meehan "Efforts to protect the environment are among our top priorities at our refinery," Smith said. "The combination of services you provide educating the public and accumulating scientific baseline data on beaches is a wonderful contrihution. My hat'<; off to you." NOW PONY GOES FOR YOU TOO!

We arc not speaking about any person in particu lar and remain friends with our fonncr co-workers. But - good public ser vice and having compassion was sel dom practiced until Jane Koetje be came clerk. We were trained to help people quickly and efficiently. We were told many times that we were "too nice." It was a policy that the clerk ·s office would never make change or accept checks. Heaven forbid that you had a $5 bi II and owned $4.50 for copies. Didn't matter how upset or strcssco you were from court and that we had accepted cash all day, with which we could have made change to make things easier for you. You were flatly told that a store and bank were down the street and both would give you change.

We saw many limes in which the employees went from being very rude to being hostile to each other and to the public. Even county employ ees said grnng to the dentist was easier than going to the clerk's office for anything. We have spoken to many people since this campaign started. All have agreed that the clerk's office has com pletely changed. The employees arc "allowed" to take the time needed to help the public with a smile on their face without the fear of doing somc thmg that is not in their job descrip tion. The women in the clerk's office work continuously with many dead lines. We have seen some fine work ers leave that office because they could not stand the friction any longer.
