The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 121 Issue 18 Bellingham, Washington Olympic Co., Shell fined $7.86 million for explosion By Courtney Howard THE WESTERN FRONT Frank King said the Department of Ecology should use a portion of the $7.86 million it levied in fines against Olympic Pipe Line Co. and Shell Pipeline Co. on Wednesday to build a baseball complex. King's son, Wade, was one of the three boys who died in Bellingham's Olympic Pipe Line explosion in June 1999. Stephen Tsiorvas and Liam Wood also died as a result of the accident. "I think it would maybe be nice if the Department of Ecology did something in Bellingham — if they used part of the money to memorialize those three boys that died," King said. Sheryl Hutchison, Department of Ecology communications director, said the department decided to levy the maximum $7.86 million after Olympic, Shell and IMCO General Construction Co. would not agree on a joint settlement. This fine is the largest fine the department has ever levied, Hutchison said. IMCO is being investigated because Olympic officials said an IMCO worker damaged the pipeline.

Barker said she likes running because it builds up her muscles. Western women teach girls self-confidence By Ailey Kato THE WESTERN FRONT Western graduate Leslie Pullen said she gained self-confidence and decided she did not care what other people thought about her while she was at college. During middle and high school, she said she had the same body image issues as many girls do: hair, weight and acne. "I want to give so much positive attitude, like you are OK the way you are and self-confidence," Pullen said. She said self-confidence is not something she can give, but is something she wants to teach younger girls. Pullen and Western junior Megna Patel coach one group of four girls in the Girls on the Run Forensic artist uses talent to help track criminals By Leah Hadfield THE WESTERN FRONT The role of artists in the community goes beyond murals and art shows. Bellingham resident Ellen Brown is a forensic artist who is using her ability to help track criminals. Brown drew the police sketches of the suspect who assaulted several women in May on Western's campus. University Police Assistant Chief David Doughty said an arrest in Mount Vernon led UP to the suspect. Doughty said the booking photo of the captured suspect was similar to Brown's drawings. Brown works with victims and witnesses to create an image of the suspect. She said she asks the witness broad questions about the suspect's appearance, but she only draws what the witness describes. "If the witness tells me that there's a mole (on his nose), then that's where I draw it," Brown said. Doughty said the more distinguishing characteristics a witness can supply, the more accurate the drawing. The most important aspect of interviewing a witness for a composite drawing is a comfortable setting, Brown said. She said the process involves a lot of listening and patience. "In actuality, it doesn't take long to do the sketch, but it can seem like it is taking hours," Brown said. Bellingham Police Sgt. Colin Emmett said sketch artists are used in cases that involve a crime against a person. Emmett said the police would not use a forensic artist to draw a car thief because the crime involves property. If a person Leah Hadfield/ The Western Front Forensic artist Ellen Brown uses the FBI facial identification catalog to draw a woman's face. Brown drew the police sketches for the suspect of the assaults at Western. robbed a bank, the crime is against a person and property, so a forensic artist would be used, he said. Certain cases require the forensic artist to create several drawings. Doughty said the artist does individual composites for each witness. ~~ See ARTIST, Page 4 program every Tuesday and Thursday at Bloedel Donovan Park.
