Port points to start of lease talks

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Port of Coupeville is moving forward with lease negotiations and plans to manage the Greenbank Farm.

During last week’s port meeting, the commissioners directed Executive Director David Day to begin lease negotiations with all of the tenants at the farm.

“Leases need to go up,” Commssioner John Carr said. “But they need to be gentle and reasonable with a plan to increase over time.”

Commissioners will approach all of the current tenant, including the three galleries, despite speculation the port wanted to boot the tenants to make room for Washington

Ex-Coast Guard vessel a new force for fire department

By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

In an area surrounded by water, it could be argued that the latest addition to Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue is long overdue.

The fire department upgraded its marine rescue capabilities in a big way, purchasing a sturdy former Coast Guard vessel that is expected to be a force on the water.

“It’s a pretty different boat compared to the other one,” said Capt. Jerry Helm. “We went from a Volkswagen to a Maserati. There’s a big jump in performance.”

The department paid $95,000 for the 2006 Safe Boat, which came with a pair of new 225 horsepower outboard engines.

The 26-foot vessel was being used as a charter fishing boat for tuna based in Oxnard, Calif. Fishing rod holders are still mounted in the rear of the boat.

“That’s one of the things we’ll have to get rid of,” Deputy Chief Charlie Smith said with a smile.

Before the boat can be put into service, other alterations will need to be made, including the installation of radios.

“It needs cosmetic work,” Fire Chief Ed Hartin said.

But training firefighters to safely operate the boat and the rig that will tow it will take the most time before the vessel starts making waves.

And that won’t be soon enough, according to Hartin.

“We had a number of instances where people were in a bad way and we couldn’t go in the water,” Hartin said.

That’s because Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue’s current 17-foot Apex rigid hull in-

flatable boat, with a 90 horsepower engine, couldn’t safely operate in rougher sea conditions often found in Admiralty Inlet during inclement weather and at times even in Saratoga Passage.

The agency wanted to upgrade to a larger vessel built to handle the choppy waters and changing currents.

“We go to more marine rescues than structure fires,” Helm said.

A new vessel was considered at a comparable price to the Safe Boat, however, it lacked electronics, speed and other features and wasn’t designed for search and rescue. The additional upgrades would have come at an added expense.

In the end, the former Coast Guard boat

From one Wolf Pack to another

CHS grad among academic, spirit leaders at University of Nevada

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

surprised that I got ‘A’s’ for as long as I did.”

After leaving a positive impression on Coupeville High School, Nathaniel Foote is now planting his imprint on a larger stage, the University of Nevada.

Foote excelled academically at CHS, earning valedictorian honors for the class of 2012.

At Reno, he has continued to shine in the classroom.

This spring he was one of only two juniors to receive the Phi Kappa Phi award presented to the university’s top students.

“It was an enormous honor,” Foote said. “I didn’t even comprehend just how big an honor it was until I attended the ceremony. Most of the people there were faculty, with a handful of seniors and grad students. I also got to shake hands with the university president, Mark Johnson, which was exciting.”

Foote is an outstanding scholar, but he doesn’t spend all his time in the library or buried in a book.

He is an enthusiastic follower of the University of Nevada athletics teams, the Wolf Pack.

“I suppose it started in my freshman year when I joined Blue Crew, which is a student spirit club,” Foote said. “When I first started attending the games, I had lots of fun. I then wanted to challenge myself to attend as many games as possible. Plus it was a nice break from doing homework.”

After his freshman year, Foote received the Leader of the Pack Award, which was a signed basketball from the men’s basketball team. During the football season of his junior year, he was chosen Student of the Game and had his picture shown on the jumbotron during a game.

A peek at Foote’s academic load and grades reveal why he won the award. He is majoring in geology and geological engineering and minoring in hydrogeology and math.

“I am one class away from a major in hydrogeology, so I will probably end up with three majors,” he said.

After a string of all “A’s,” Foote received his first two “B’s” recently.

Breaking the string of all “A’s” “wasn’t a big deal,” Foote said.

“My family is already so proud of me and doesn’t necessarily put pressure on me to get good grades,” he added. “I just like to get good grades because I like to do things right and I find it a personal challenge. I got the ‘B’ because I was taking a lot of credits in hard upper-level classes. In a way, I’m actually

Initially he followed the large crowds to the football and men’s basketball games, then he started attending other activities.

“I realized that there are other athletic teams who work at least as hard and deserve support,” he said, “so I also watch volleyball, women’s soccer, women’s basketball and softball.”

His support didn’t go unnoticed.

At the first basketball game of Foote’s junior year, the cheer coach recognized him for his dedicated attendance and dubbed him Superfan, and then invited him to sit next to the cheerleaders in front of the band.

Being Superfan comes with “lots of perks,” Foote said.

One was getting to pres-

During the presentation, Foote wore a custom-made Superfan T-shirt and various pieces of sports equipment.

Foote said he can maintain his success in the classroom and spend time watching the Wolf Pack contests because he manages his time well.

“I have learned to not procrastinate, which is prevalent among many college students.”

Lesson learned.

Coupeville Wharf tenants to receive return in taxes

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Tenants at the Coupeville Wharf will see a return of almost $18,000 in taxes paid between 2011 and 2015.

Through an exemption discov-

ered by Port of Coupeville staff, tenants at the port-owned property were actually exempt from paying a 12.84 percent leasehold tax.

The exemption applies to tenants that rent a municipally owned historic property in a historical reserve.

The port will refund the amount and submit proof of reimbursement to the state Department of Revenue, which will reimburse the port, with interest.

“They cannot make the interest calculation until they have a date on which to base it,” Day said. “We

of course, have made sure we are entitled to refund this money and have been assured by the Dept. of Revenue that we will receive reimbursement.”

The port will then give the interest amount back to tenants as well.

“The port receives none of these

funds, but the tenants are entitled to the exemption,” Day said. “Over time, it will save the port money in not having to calculate and process the leasehold taxes for the properties within the reserve.”

viewpoints

Families don’t always look like they’re related toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel What pops into your mind’s eye when you think of honeysuckle? Is it a fragrant vine or is it an arching shrub that makes good hedges and borders?

If you answered yes to either question you’d be right.

The honeysuckle, or Caprifoliaceae, plant family can sometimes look like a collection of seemingly unrelated species: some twining climbers, some shrubs and more than a few common bedding plants.

Chances are you’d be able to spot a member of the orchid, or Orchidaceae, family without a hitch. Orchids are just so exotic looking, even though you can find over 40 native orchids growing here in very unexotic Washington state. The same goes for a member of the sunflower family: The arrangement of ray and disk flowers in one flower head is a dead giveaway to its family ties.

But try to peg all the members of Caprifoliaceae as related without relying on sometimes very small or obscure biological or morphological traits and you may throw your hands up and decide to take a long nap instead. I don’t blame you.

Yet this is one family whose members are probably well represented in your garden. If not, you’ll easily find them along the highway or in a nearby woods.

The genus Lonicera alone has about 180 species, including common shrubs as well as those twining vines I was telling you about. You may have Lonicera

nitida, commonly called box honeysuckle or boxleaf honeysuckle. It grows to about 4 -5 feet wide and tall and has small cream colored flowers that come in pairs. “Red Tips” is an attractive cultivar with – you guessed it – red tips. Lonicera pileata, or privet honeysuckle, is a lower growing species that can fill in as a ground cover.

Both have “pokey” branches that arch up and out.

One of our native Loniceras is Lonicera involucrata, or twinbeary honeysuckle. It’s a scrubby shrub with yellow tubular flowers that come in pairs followed by black berries.

The vining Lonicera include our native Lonicera ciliosa, or Western trumpet honeysuckle. Some of us unashamedly let it vine up our Douglas firs so that we can enjoy a wall of orange flowers and delicious fragrance in the spring. On the other hand, I don’t advise you let Japanese honeysuckle get a toe hold.

This introduced species with white to yellow flowers is considered a noxious weed.

Other common members of the Caprifoliaceae family are the native snowberry, the Weigelagenus of flowering deciduous shrubs, good, old scabiosa and valerian. And by valerian I mean the authentic medicinal herb, that has white flowers and a very strong smelling root with sedative properties, as well as red valerian, that is also known as red Jupiter’s beard.

Did you know for a long time elderberries and viburnums were in the Caprifoliaceae family too? Modern genetic research, however, led plant taxonomists to set them apart in their own plant family: Adoxaceae.

Well, I guess it isn’t the first time someone’s been disowned because their genetics were suspect.

Taxpayers deserve better from port Editor, As a resident of Central Whidbey for 32 years, 27 of those years being in Greenbank, I have followed the history of the issues between the Port and the Greenbank Farm Management group and know many of the people involved on both sides.

I have to say I am utterly astounded by the behavior of two of our three Port of Coupeville commissioners, even though I am aware of the years of struggles, misunderstandings and disagreements between the port and the Farm Management Group.

The Greenbank Farm is the jewel of Whidbey Island — it has become a unique and wonderful business center, a great recreational resource for hikers, dog walkers, birders, and whale watchers, a picnic spot for families and an amazing venue for events, most of which take place through the work and talent of the management group.

The Greenbank Farm brings visitors to the island year round, the Organic Farm and School program is a pro-

gressive and smart resource that has spawned wonderful local organic farms and promoted healthy living.

I remember being excited when the farm was saved from becoming a development, and was proud to watch it grow, get through the rough spots, and become the model facility it is today.

From every report it sounded like negotiations were continuing, and a draft agreement was given the nod by both sides and was about to be signed, when the unbelievable meeting took place that changed everything.

The port commissioners gave no mention on the agenda or at the beginning of the meeting that they were about to pull the rug out from under the management group and terminate them in six months.

Instead, the Port Commissioners sat and wasted the time of hundreds of community members and farm supporters, who one by one got up and testified on behalf of the farm.

The Commissioners pretended to listen, pretended to care what we, the taxpayers, had to say, and then took everyone by surprise, including one of the port commissioners, by ignoring the hours of testimony and ongoing negotiations with the management

group to state they were ending the contract in six months, though they admitted they didn’t have a plan for how to manage the farm themselves, or who would be doing it in six months.

These two port commissioners will soon be gone, leaving the chaos and mess for those who follow them.

Commissioner Bronson stated recently in an article that it would be an embarrassment for him to resign. I have respected Marshall Bronson for much of his community service work, and like him as a person.

However, I am shocked at his behavior, and he should be embarrassed by his actions at the port meeting, and for letting the community down.

If the port had unresolvable issues with the management group and intended to discontinue negotiations, why did they not put that on the agenda for discussion? Why have they yet to answer our questions about why they decided to end the contract? I have yet to see any facts put forth by the port to back up this action.

Even if they do have facts to back up this action, there is nothing that excuses the manner in which this was done.

The hard working people who made the farm what it is today, the businesses that en-

dured long-term negotiations resulting in uncertain leases, and we the taxpayers and community members who love and use the farm, deserve more of our port commissioners.

The port now has no nonprofit entity to help raise funds and recruit and coordinate volunteers to keep the farm running, or to hold events to bring in income, and their plan so far is “a few notes jotted down” — with less than six months before they are responsible for the farm’s day to day operations?

This is just plain crazy.

Does this have something to do with the continuing “secret” meetings with WSU? Will the wonderful Greenbank Farm kick out the amazing businesses that built a stellar reputation and become a destination shopping spot, so that WSU can rent the buildings for office space?

Will WSU lease the organic farm fields and test pesticides on them, losing the organic status of the fields? Or was this all just done out of spite or personality conflicts?

I hope we will soon learn what is behind this decision, why it was done in such a sneaky, back-handed way, and just what the future holds for the Greenbank Farm.

GREENBANK: Port to start lease negotiations with farm tenants From page 1 State University.

“It’s never been our intent to go in and clean house,” Carr said.

The three commissioners agreed on three basic principals to begin lease negotiations: two year contracts, tenants pay the 12.84 percent leasehold tax and each lease has a consumer price index annual increase built in.

Commissioners hope to have leases negotiated and prepared for the Sept. 9 meeting.

Commissioners asked to resign During the regular port meeting, several community members came forward and asked that commissioners Carr and Marshall Bronson resign, allowing incoming commissioner candidates John Mishasek and William Bell to take over.

“It’s difficult to enter into negotiations with the current commissioners because there is no trust,” said Jan Gunn, who owns Whidbey Pies Cafe.

Each commissioner also

presented his ideas for how to proceed with management of the farm.

The commissioners directed Day to meet with management group staff to develop an understanding of the day-to-day operations of the farm and personnel.

Judy Feldman, director of the management group, who would be the person working with Day on this directive, will be out of town for three weeks starting Tuesday.

She said she emailed Bronson, suggesting in the meantime the port focus on lease negotiations and building a list of questions for her.

Bronson presented his ideas for staff positions the port would need to hire for management of the farm including a farm director, activities coordinator and a facilities manager, who would oversee both port properties.

In Carr’s proposal, he included a timeline and suggested Day have candidates for new staff positions presented during the November port meeting.

The Greenbank Farm Management Group is also moving forward, trying to plan for the future.

Some of the next steps taken by the management group include working toward finalizing an inventory list.

Feldman said they’ve moved past the point of being mad about the situation.

“We’re at the phase where we’re not going to be taken advantage of,” Feldman said.

“There are some things that belong to the port and there are some things that belong to the management group.”

Farm school’s future is unclear And while the nonprofit management group will no longer play an advisory role in the farm after Dec. 31, it continues to lease agricultural land at the farm until March 31, 2017 for the Organic Farm School.

However, the school will be in limbo for the 2016 season.

“We’re in a position where we can’t take students next year,” farm school manager Jessica Babcock told commissioners. “We have to step back and figure out the future.”

Feldman said by not ac-

cepting students for the 2016, the nonprofit group has time to think and restart the program in 2017.

The management group does not know if that will include staying at the farm.

“That is what the year is for,” Feldman said. “There are some things we’d like to explore, to expand and build on.”

The program may look at things like more livestock and pasture management.

“It’s not that we’re saying we don’t want to be at the farm anymore,” Feldman said.

The school will take the time to explore options and see what kind of opportunities present itself, she said.

During the port meeting, the commissioner said they were surprised to hear the school would not be taking students.

“I like the school,” Carr said. “I think it’s great.”

Carr also said that if the management group needed further written confirmation of the port’s wanting the school there, he’d be open to exploring that.

“That’s great,” Feldman said. “But it’s the nonprofit

that runs the school and the port has said they don’t want the management group.”

The management group’s lease on 10 acres of agricultural land and irrigation use is at no cost under a previous agreement.

Feldman said the school will still use the land in 2016.

Several of the farm school students may use the land for an incubator program or the school may use it for seed production or host workshops and classes.

“There are a lot of conversations to be had and not a lot of time,” Feldman said.

“We’ve had students inquire about the program but they also ask about the port and what’s going on with it. We’re not quitting, not closing the program.”

Some of the unresolved questions involve finances and staffing.

Feldman said the nonprofit has a bit of a reserve built up and management is looking at what it can afford.

“While we didn’t ask for this, we’re excited we can do this a bit more intentionally,” she said.

The reserve was built through donations and tu-

ition to provide a cushion in case student enrollment fell through.

Management group treasurer Steve Holmberg said that while not firm, the nonprofit anticipates having around $37,000 in cash at the end of the year.

Although they do have $31,000 in debt to a contributor.

“We have been advised by that person that debt can remain unpaid at this time,” he said. “This debt came from two things – a $9,000 ‘working capital’ loan when things got tight and a $22,000 loan to refurbish the Jim Davis House to make it usable for student housing.

“Obviously the improvement to the building paid for by the latter will transfer to the port on our departure.”

Both Feldman and Holmberg said the nonprofit will need to seek further donations.

“Clearly we will need some contributions to fund a feasibility study beyond 3-4 months as obligations for various things such as filing our tax return for 2015 and 2016 also exist,” he said.

The Greenbank Farm Management Group Would like to offer its deepest gratitude to the community of people who have supported the work of creating a vibrant and engaging Greenbank Farm.

After 18 years of learning how to balance the quirks and personalities of the land, the merchants, the public, and the Port of Coupeville, we have been told by the Port that our services are no longer desired. We feel we have generated, with you, a great deal of energy and momentum here, and our preference would have been to continue managing the entire Greenbank Farm.

However, throughout 10 months of negotiations, the Port pushed for a different model of management, one that would have changed what we believe was a successful approach to integrated management of the Farm. We never gave them ultimatums, we simply offered our view that if they wanted such a departure we were not the right fit for the job. On July 8, two of the current Port Commissioners made it very clear that they wished to pursue a different route and take on the management of the Farm themselves.

So we must do just that. As of January 1, 2016, the Port of Coupeville will directly manage Greenbank Farm, and the nonprofit Greenbank Farm Management Group will shift its focus entirely to exploring the future of the Organic Farm School.

While our aim is to continue the operation of the Organic Farm School, the disruptions generated by the recent Port decision make continuing the program at the Farm uncertain for now. We do not feel able to graciously sunset our management role at the Farm while simultaneously engaging in the recruitment, fundraising, and planning needed for a 2016 Organic Farm School class. We have decided the prudent course of action is to take some time to re-evaluate. We will not take on students for the 2016 year so that we can devote time to work with the community and come up with a plan for strengthening the program and evaluating the feasibility

of restarting it at Greenbank Farm or a new location for the class of 2017.

We will continue to manage the Farm—coordinating events, activities, and tenants all the way through to 12/31/15.

After that, it’s up to you and the Port of Coupeville to keep the momentum going.

We hold only the best wishes for the Farm, and hope you’ll stay engaged with us as we evaluate next steps for the Organic Farm School. ** If you are interested in the details of how this turn of events came to be, visit our website. There, you will find documents regarding finances, contract language, and more.

Wolves look to continue Olympic League success

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

The Coupeville High School athletic teams found what they were looking for when they joined the Olympic League last fall – wins.

After years of being the smallest Cascade Conference school by far in enrollment, Coupeville joined the Olympic League’s four-team 1A division last year to compete against similar-sized schools.

As a result, the Wolves put together one of their most successful athletic years in a decade.

Coupeville posted a 4131 (.569) record in Olympic League contests. In its previous three years in the Cascade Conference, it won only 88 of 360 (.244).

In theory, the larger the school, the better its athletic teams because of a bigger pool from which to draw athletes.

Coupeville, at 225 students, is the smallest 1A school in the state. The next smallest public school in the Cascade Conference, South Whidbey, has 398 students, over 50 percent more than Coupeville.

During the 2013-14 school year, Coupeville was approached by Port Townsend and Chimacum about joining them and Klahowya in a 1A division of the Olympic League.

The Olympic League, which now has 11 members, was willing to divide its conference into two divisions (2A and 1A), something the Cascade Conference resisted, and not require the 1A schools to play the 2A teams.

Coupeville began considering changing conferences after the 2011 football season when its team lost 20 of its 35 players to injuries.

As a small school, Coupeville lacks depth and is forced to rely on sophomores and freshman, who are more susceptible to injury because of their lack of physical maturity.

The Cascade Conference tried to help Coupeville by allowing its football team to play as an independent during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. That enabled Coupeville get more wins and keep players on the field, but it did not alleviate the concerns of the other CHS teams.

Port Townsend (327) and Chimacum (237) are closer in enrollment to Coupeville than any of the Cascade Conference schools. Klahowya, however, is the third-largest 1A school in the state with 456 students.

The impact of the league switch was immediate for Coupeville. Its fall athletic teams (football, boys tennis, girls soccer and volleyball) combined to win 11 of 24 (.458) league games after win-

During basketball season, the Wolves were 12-6 (.667) in the Olympic League.

They were 11-73 (.131) in the Cascade Conference from 2011-2014.

In fact, the girls team went undefeated in conference action and won its first league title in 13 years.

In the spring, the baseball, boys soccer, softball and girls tennis teams went 41-31 (.569) after going 58-106 (.354) in the Cascade Conference. The tennis team won the league title with a spotless record.

School size played a prominent role in wins and losses for Coupeville in the Olympic League as well.

Coupeville finished the year 31-14 (.689) against similar sized Chimacum and Port Townsend. Only three of the 10 Coupeville teams were able to top much bigger Klahowya, as the Wolves went 7-18 (.28) against the Eagles.

The league champion Coupeville girls basketball and tennis teams collected six of those wins; the softball team gathered the other.

One could argue Coupeville won more games last

year because it had better athletes than previous years.

However, there was only a slight uptick in non-league wins.

Coupeville finished 27-53 (.386) in nonconference games after going 44-81 (.352) over the previous three years.

Girls basketball coach David King said playing against smaller schools last year gave his “athletes confidence when they stepped on the court.”

“In the Olympic League, we knew if we followed our game plan and executed it, we gave ourselves a chance to win,” he added. “Against some teams in the Cascade Conference, we would have had to play close to a perfect game to win.”

The change in leagues resulted in more wins, but it wasn’t without problems.

The Olympic League provided quality competition, track coach Randy King said, but dealing with the ferry schedule was a negative: “We left some meets early

and left at 6:30 a.m. for most of our qualifying meets.”

Volleyball coach Breanne Smedley said playing schools of similar size made the “competition more even” but the travel was difficult.

“Games occasionally needed to be rescheduled or stopped short due to the ferry schedule,” Smedley said. “Additionally, match times are earlier due to ferries, causing students to miss more school.”

Another concern raised by coaches was the size of the division.

“Having more teams to compete against is always a good thing,” David King said.

So, was it a good move?

Even with the travel hassles, Randy King said Coupeville should remain in the Olympic League as long as it is a 1A school.

David King said, “Is it a long-term solution? I don’t know. I would imagine that our school size would be a determining factor down the road.”

ak Harbor School District first opened its doors to students in 1911. In the more than century since then, the district has grown to 11 schools, including a school for alternative learners and a cooperative for homeschool families.

Around half of the 5,500 students who attend Oak Harbor schools are connected to the Navy as children of active-duty personnel or civilian contractors who work at nearby Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

The district boasts solid art and music programs, with art instruction offered at every grade level and music programs in all schools.

High school students can take more than a dozen advanced placement courses and get a head start on an advanced degree by participating in the college partnership programs.

Standardized tests scores and graduation rates are up.

Last year, Oak Harbor schools added iGrad Academy, a program that allows students who dropped out to complete their degrees by taking online classes.

What students need to get ready for school varies by child and school.

Among the after-school activities offered in Coupeville, the Wolf Pack Drama Troupe performs two shows a year and last year participated in the community’s Haunting of Coupeville series throughout the month of October. The troupe performed in the Haunted Maze and is slated to do so this year as well.

E

ducators in Coupeville see advantages in being a small school district.

With an enrollment of about 890 students in grades K-12, Coupeville School District is able to boast small class sizes, allowing for more focus on each individual student.

The greater Coupeville

community also is able to get to know and better support a smaller student base.

“What makes Coupeville schools special is the personalized attention that students receive,” Superintendent Jim Shank said. “In a small-school setting, students are able to develop lasting relationships with their peers and

staff, participate in ‘no-cut’ athletics and activities, and are known and cared for by just about everyone in the community.”

Average class size for elementary school students in Coupeville is 21.

The average is 25 in the middle and high school.

Full-day kindergarten is starting in Coupeville this fall.

Though the community focuses on preserving the town’s 19th-century historical roots and maintaining a working farm landscape, Coupeville’s schools pride themselves with keeping up on the times.

Community support of a technology levy allowed the school district to upgrade all of its technology systems.

Because of that support, every student in grades K-8 has an iPad or Chromebook to use in the classroom, and nearly every high school student has a similar online device or computer.

An innovative program titled “Wolves Online” allows students access to online learning during the school day as well as before and after school.

High school students in Coupeville are able to enjoy a number of opportunities to take collegelevel classes, including University of Washington English, AdvancedPlacement History, AP Statistics and Running Start.

The school takes pride in its Wolves athletic programs and membership in the Class 1A Olympic League. With a high school enrollment of just under 300 students in grades 9-12, Coupeville is one of the smaller public schools in the state’s 1A class.

Coupeville has a long history of success with National History Day and is starting to experience success with its Science Olympiad team.

The performing and visual arts continue to be a high priority, allowing students to express

themselves creatively.

Opportunities include music, theater, arts and crafts, the industrial arts and computing.

The Coupeville School District has begun a fouryear capital improvement project that will upgrade several areas in each of the schools, including a new high school track.

The new high school was opened in 2007.

The school district mission statement is “high levels of learning for all students.”

“There is heart in a Coupeville education, and it is combined with a learning environment that strives for excellence in all programs,” Shank said.

“We strive to ensure that all students are learning at high levels, and if a student wishes to attend a particular university or training program, we help them wherever possible to achieve their goals.”

The district, recipient of the 2014 Washington Achievement Award, participates in a pre-K-3 initiative.

The goal is to have all students reading at grade level by the end of the third grade.

“We support all students who struggle to meet this goal and offer expanded opportunities for those

who meet it early,” said Superintendent Jo Moccia.

These same expectations continue through high school graduation. Students have varied opportunities in academics, outdoor education, the arts, and theater through cooperative community groups.

Advanced-placement courses; technology and science; and technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classes are offered, as well as Running Start through Skagit Valley College.

Whidbey Island’s

Private schools

F

or parents seeking an alternative to a public school education, the island offers a variety of private- school options with a range of educational philosophies.

Each of Whidbey’s private schools boasts small class sizes and a fair amount of individualized attention.

Each of these private schools are approved by Washington State Board of Education for sufficiently meeting the basic criteria for each grade level.

Some of the island non-religiously affiliated private schools, such as NORTH WHIDBEY KIDS’ ACADEMY, — formerly known as Doodlebugs Academy — and DER KINDERHUIS MONTESSORI, are geared toward younger children.

North Whidbey Kids’ Academy is located in Oak Harbor and offers classes in grades pre-K through second. Der Kinderhuis Montessori offers classes in grades pre-K through fourth and is located in Oak Harbor.

According to the North Whidbey Kids’ Academy website, the school focuses upon early child development. Activities taught at the school are geared toward developmental stages, ability and interest.

Der Kinderhuis Montessori’s educational method is based upon the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. According to the school website, Montessori educators strive to cultivate a natural desire to learn.

Lessons involve working with their hands in order to “absorb and order knowledge.”

Children are permitted to freely choose activities and work at a pace comfortable to them in accordance with the Montessori philosophy.

Non-religious alternatives for children pre-K through eighth grade include WELLINGTON DAY SCHOOL and WHIDBEY ISLAND WALDORF SCHOOL, both located in Clinton.

Wellington Day School is also a Montessori school and employs curriculum similar to that of Der Kinderhuis Montessori.

Classes are divided into younger elementary, upper elementary and middle

The school also offers individual classes as a supplement for homeschooled students as well as a number of after-school programs, including robotics and aikido.

Whidbey Island Waldorf School employs the Waldorf education method. The method is built upon the philosophical foundation of its founder, Rudolf Steiner, who set out to create an educational model that could cultivate peace among humankind, according to the school website.

The arts are integrated at each level, and like the Montessori method, Waldorf education focuses upon hands-on learning.

The use of technology is discouraged. Waldorf students don’t use computers in the classroom; computer skills are learned in high school.

For parents seeking a faith-based education for their child, the island offers three choices of private Christian schools.

Each school states its goal to relate the Bible to each subject and maintain a faith-based perspective throughout the curriculum, and each employs the classical method of Christian

education.

The schools teach creationism in accordance with their faith-based principle.

All three are also affiliated with Christian Schools International and are nondenominational.

ISLAND CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, located in Langley, is South Whidbey’s only Christian school.

The school offers classes in grades pre-K through 12.

The school is located on the campus of the South Whidbey Assembly of God church.

OAK HARBOR CHRISTIAN SCHOOL in Oak Harbor offers grades pre-K through fifth.

It is the oldest of the island’s Christian schools and has operated in Oak Harbor since 1938.

The school was formed by parents of the Christian Reformed and Reformed Churches in Oak Harbor, according to the school website.

Oak Harbor Christian School has partnered with North Whidbey Christian High School, which is also faith-based and Biblecentered.

The school had previously offered grades 8-12, but is offering grades 6-12 for the upcoming school year.

TV’s ‘Pickers’ coming here

The weeping willow in the Coupeville High/Middle School lot will be cut down by Aug. 31.

WILLOW: Arborist points to decay From page 1 reported that the tree’s trunk and some limbs are experiencing decay.

He called on the arborist after a second large branch broke and fell earlier this year.

“I don’t necessarily want to get rid of it,” Shank said.

“This year, we had a major limb break and fall. The year before, there was another major limb break and fall. The reason is it’s rotten on the inside. It’s starting to fall.

“We’ve just been lucky it has been falling at times when no one’s been around.”

Shank said the plan is to remove the tree before the start of school, Aug. 31.

It is located near South Main Street in the parking lot in front of the high school/ middle school. It hangs over part of the sidewalk along Main Street.

Shank said he isn’t sure of the tree’s age, a detail that

Whidbey Island Worship Guide 

wasn’t included in the arborist report but was informed it had been around long enough that its removal might be a sensitive issue.

Mindful of the outcry over the cutting of an ancient oak tree in Oak Harbor in 2014, Shank checked with several past students and said he couldn’t find any historic significance that outweighed the safety risks.

“We’ve gotten lucky so far,” Shank said. “How far can you press it?”

Marshall and Jan Bronson, owners of the Compass Rose Bed and Breakfast directly across the street from the tree, said they’ll be sad to see the tree go.

“That tree has become a symbol of happiness and joy,” Marshall Bronson said.

“I’ve talked to so many people who think the willow tree is marvelous,” Jan Bronson said.

“It may not be historically significant but it’s nostalgic.”

Jan Bronson said she and her husband were surprised last year when a large portion of the tree came down during a storm.

Marshall Bronson said he hopes some sort of small ceremony might be held before the tree is taken down with a new tree planted in its place.

Longtime Coupeville resident Sara Purdue, 71, also said she’ll be sad to see the tree disappear.

She remembers it 65 years ago when she took piano lessons at a home next to the tree. The school superintendent and his wife lived there and she took lessons from her, as did her sister, Cheryl Engle.

Purdue remembered the tree being “quite large” back then.

“We were always fascinated by the long whips of the willow tree in the front yard,” she said.

Stars of the History Channel show “American Pickers” may be coming to film on Whidbey Island this fall.

The TV reality show’s stars, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, are looking for locations to pick up antique bargains.

Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, confirmed she’d been contact by the show. The Oak Harbor and Freeland chambers of commerce also they were contacted by show producers about filming on Whidbey Island sometime in October.

Sherrye Wyatt, with Whidbey Camano Tourism, said the show is scouting not only for specific items, but a certain type of character.

“They want someone who will interact with them

and have fun with them,” she said.

“And someone who’s willing to sell.”

This is the second time in recent years that the antique hunting duo has visited Whidbey Island.

The episode entitled “Full Steam Ahead” aired Dec. 3, 2012 and featured the pair traveling to Whidbey Island where they found “a graveyard of car grills and a 1947 Chevy pickup.”

“We were successful in the past with having them here,” Wyatt said. “I’m sure that’s why they approached us. I think because they’ve had such a good experience before.

“I think it would be fun if Whidbey Island could be shown again. We have a lot of neat people.”

According to a flyer distributed by the show’s producers, Wolfe and Fritz are looking for vintage items such as motor scoot-

ers, bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, musical equipment, automotive items, early firefighting equipment, clothing, civil war antiques, pre1940s Christmas items and pre-1950s Western gear.

While the show appears impromptu at times, it is actually organized and planned ahead, Wyatt said.

“The show will send out a scout ahead of time,” she said. “They will let you know what to expect.”

The show only picks private collections. No stores, flea markets, auctions or businesses will be featured.

Anyone who thinks they may have the show’s next picking treasure trove can email to americanpickers@ cineflix.com or call 1-855653-7878. Include the contact person’s name, phone number and description of the items.

RESCUE: $95,000 vessel tackles tough conditions From page 1 was deemed a better value and a more sound vessel built to outlast and outperform the new boat. It also is equipped and designed for search and rescue, including work lights for night-time operations.

A comparable new boat would cost about $325,000, Helm said. A used one would normally run anywhere from $150,000-$200,000.

The Honda engines alone

would cost between $40,000 to $50,000 new, Helm said.

“It’s a great deal,” he said.

Helm and two other firefighters drove to Oxnard in late July to pick up the boat and tow it to its new home at Station 53 in Coupeville.

The boat gives Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue new capabilities in providing marine rescues, medical aid and marine assists, though it does require higher tides to launch than the previous boat. A

minimum of 2 feet, 6 inches of water is needed to launch the Safe Boat.

Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue has automatic aid agreements with Camano Island Fire and Rescue, South Whidbey Fire and Rescue and North Whidbey Fire and Rescue and a mutual aid agreement with East Jefferson Fire and Rescue.

All four of those agencies have boats that perform marine rescues as does the Island

County sheriff.

Boats with East Jefferson, South Whidbey and Camano Island have firefighting capabilities whereas Central Whidbey’s new boat does not.

But the vessel can do a lot, which the department is excited to discover, firefighter Bob Moore said.

“With the second engine it is a force to be reckoned with special training required by all of us,” Moore said.

Step to prevent fire starts one instead

By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

A Coupeville homeowner’s attempt to prevent a fire danger instead accidently caused one.

Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue responded to a call of a vegetation fire Aug. 6 at the rear of a residence on Sandberg Lane that was set by a spark from a riding lawnmower.

The fire spread at a moderate rate of speed and burned about an acre of light brush in a wooded area before it was quickly brought under control, Central Whidbey fire chief Ed Hartin said.

A brush unit from South Whidbey Fire/EMS also assisted in the effort.

“It’s a little bit ironic,” Hartin said. “The homeowner was cutting tall grass to provide a defenseable space in case of a brushfire.”

Hartin said that residents should use caution when working with power equipment in an area of dry brush or grass.

The homeowner acted properly by calling 911 right away to allow units to react quickly to contain the fire as it climbed a hillside, Hartin said.

Units remained on the scene for about three hours to mop up and dig out hot spots, he said.

“It wasn’t a huge fire,” Hartin said. “Fortunately, the guys caught it before it went upslope.”
