Out of the patrol car and on the school bus.

Capping a stellar career in law enforcement, Darren Crownover made his final “out of service” call Monday.

A Lieutenant with the Island County Sheriff’s Department, he and wife Kelly (a longtime 9-1-1 operator) had a huge positive impact on Whidbey Island and its occupants over the years.

They also were my traveling companions during daughter Veronica’s senior season of softball at Coupeville High School — a year that ended with a run to the state tourney.

Now, with Darren following Kelly into “retirement,” the couple are off to Texas, where Darren will be driving a school bus while (possibly) humming “bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?”

I wish all the best to the entire Crownover family (which also includes son Nickolas) and not just because they bought me my weight in M & M’s.

Though that certainly didn’t hurt!!

The dipshits are at it again.

Someone decided to take advantage of soggy conditions and used a vehicle to rip up fields at South Whidbey’s Community Park.

The damage, seen in the accompanying photos, happened Thursday.

“(We) experienced a senseless act of vandalism,” said a statement on the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s Facebook page.

“Someone decided to take their vehicle up on to the Upper Sports Field in Community Park and drive a donut on the grass.

“This will remove this field from the usage rotation until at least early spring as repairs will need to be made and the turf given a chance to recover.”

Anyone having information is asked to contact the Island County Sheriff’s office.

Weep salty tears of regret — but just don’t light them on fire.

A little later than last year, but it’s here.

The Island County Sheriff’s Department has issued a burn ban, which goes into effect Wednesday, June 30.

So, you’ve got five days left to pay tribute to the one true fire god, Beavis, before you have to shut it down.

An artist’s depiction of a deceased man recovered off of Camano Island.

Island County authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying an unknown deceased male.

The body in question was retrieved from the waters off of Madrona Beach on Camano Island in late October.

Fingerprints and DNA have been submitted, but have yet to hit a match.

The deceased is an adult male, 5-foot-8 inches in height, 151 pounds, with dark hair and a beard.

There was graying in the beard, and he had no scars, marks, or tattoos.

It appears the man had been in the water for an extended period of time, and no clothes were found with the body.

The Island County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the person is not Sean Pickering or Walter Mead, who both went missing from Jefferson County.

If you have any information, you can contact Dr. Robert Bishop with the Island County Coroner’s Office at (360) 679-7358, or Detective Robert Mirabal with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Mirabal can be reached at (360) 679-9567, or by email at tips@islandcountywa.gov.
