Water Fest organizers fear the end may be near By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Organizers of the Penn Cove Water Festival are looking for new blood to take over the long-running Coupeville event. And if new volunteers cannot be found, the event may come to an end. “We have a lot of people who don’t want to continue after the 25th anniversary,” said Vicky Reyes, Water Festival president. “We would have to consider suspending it (if volunteers aren’t found) and have to wait to see if it resurrects.” The Water Festival’s 25th anniversary is in May 2016. Reyes said an informational meeting is being planned for 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20 at Coupeville Town Park with the hopes of drumming up interest. “There are people who’ve been doing it who are willing to do it for one more year to mentor incoming volunteers,” Reyes said. There are about 20 volunteers who

Paul Schmakeit appears in Island County Supeior Court Monday with attorney Craig Platt. He’s accused of burglary and assault in an incident that left a man paralyzed.

$100K bail for Coupeville grad Men face charges for burglary that paralyzed man By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Since she’d been through this before, Jennifer Wallace didn’t expect such a strong tug on her heart. But, more than once, that tug kept Wallace from leaving her daughter’s side Monday on the first day of school at Coupeville Elementary School. “Bye mommy,” Sydney Wallace said to her mom from her seat in Diane Skaley’s second-grade classroom. Her mom returned to rub her cheek one more time. “I didn’t want to go,” she said. Nerves and emotions that come with the start of a new school year were on display Monday as Coupeville opened its doors a week earlier than other school districts on

A second young Coupeville man was arrested in connection with a July 27 burglary that left a resident paralyzed. Codie Burley, 19, was arrested Saturday at his home — where he allegedly tried to flee with his infant daughter — and is being held in jail on $150,000 bail. Monday, the other suspect, 20-year-old Paul Schmakeit, appeared in Island County Superior Court. He’s facing first-degree burglary and second-degree assault charges. His attorney, Craig Platt of Coupeville, asked the judge to reduce his bail from $150,000 to $500 on the condition that he be placed on electronic home monitoring. Platt explained that Schmakeit has very strong ties to the Coupeville community. He graduated from Coupeville High School in

2013, was a Boy Scout and worked at the grocery store. After school, he had been working at Whidbey Island Bank until he quit to start college, Platt said. “The allegations have struck everyone as being very out of character,” he said. Platt also pointed out that bail was originally set when he was arrested on suspicion of more serious charges. He said the allegations were serious, but there was no evidence of malice or forethought; he said it was “best described as an accident,” apparently referring to the assault. Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme, however, said that a high bail was appropriate because Schmakeit fled to Canada — and allegedly blew through the border with a handgun — after law enforcement was closing in on him. Ohme suggested that bail be reduced to

$100,000; Judge Alan Hancock agreed. A deputy’s report on Burley provides new details about the crime. The victim, 68-year-old Dennis Phillips, was confronted by a man — later identified as Schmakeit — inside his Greenbank home, the report states. Phillips grabbed a shovel and went after the intruder. He later told detectives that Schmakeit tackled him to the ground, landing on top of him, the deputy’s report states. Phillips was unable to move or feel his legs and was on his back for about five hours until a friend rescued him and called the police. He suffered from a prior back injury and was left paralyzed by the assault, according to the report.

SCHOOL: Year starts out strong

First graders Kauri Hamilton and Sage Arends stay close together in the rain after the first day of school at Coupeville Elementary Monday.

From page 1 Whidbey Island. “Today, she and I both changed our outfits twice,” said Jennifer Marzocca, whose daughter, Chloe, started third grade. Coupeville started the last day of August instead of the traditional beginning after Labor Day because of how late the holiday fell on the calendar this year. Fall-like conditions that

included light rain and cool temperatures made the occasion seem all the more fitting. Parents new to the school district had to learn new routines, too, such as where to pick up their children after school. Sue Rogers discovered the tearful consequences of a wrong turn from her son, Nikolas, a first grader. “I wasn’t waiting at the right spot, so I got in trouble,” Sue Rogers said. All and all, it was a good first day, said David Ebersole, principal at the elementary school. “It’s new. It’s exciting,” he said. “You see a lot of energy. We’re off to a pretty good start.” The elementary school is welcoming three classes of kindergartners as the school district shifts to full-day kindergarten Monday through Friday. Those classes won’t start

until Thursday. In the meantime, the teachers are easing into the transition by meeting with students and their parents. “It’s always fun,” said Christy Messner, who’s entering her sixth year of teaching kindergarten at Coupeville. “It’s fun to get to know the kids one-on-one so you get to learn a little bit about them.” Student enrollment in the school district was 953 students, including a high school senior class of 91. The first official count will take place Thursday. “It was a wonderful beginning to school,” said Jim Shank, the school district’s superintendent and high school principal. “We have a great staff and great student body. We are all looking forward to accomplishing our mission of ‘high levels of learning for all students.’ ”

Tree crushes house in storm Reception and

ornament sale set at art school

By Debra Vaughn Staff reporter

Rick Marti was kicked back watching TV in his living room Saturday when Mother Nature delivered a nasty surprise. The Coupeville man later said that he heard a “crack” and knew that he needed to get out of the house. Before he could reach his front door, a gigantic Douglas fir slammed into the Marti home. The force of it knocked him to the ground. His gentle giant of a dog, Marley, bolted from the porch and galloped down the road like the devil was on her heels. Marti and Marley are both OK. The family home is not. The tree came down during an unusual late summer wind storm Saturday that packed gusts up to 70 mph. Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue reported that firefighters responded to 29 calls, including the tree on the house, during the windstorm. About 90 percent of the calls involved fallen power lines and fallen trees. On Monday, the gigantic tree was still sprawled on top of the crushed home. Caution tape was strung around the house. The tree slammed into the house so hard that javelinlike branches pierced the ceiling in one bedroom.

A house on Fort Casey Road was crushed by a tree that toppled in high winds Saturday. The kitchen and laundry room ceilings are bowed under the weight. Marti and his fiancee, Glenda Campbell, said they are just glad nobody was hurt. Yes, they’d just finished fixing up the kitchen and many of their possessions were destroyed. “I think it’s God’s grace it didn’t get him,” she said. “We don’t know what the future holds, but we’re OK.” With the recent coverage of wildfires ravaging other parts of the state, the couple is keeping things in perspective. “We keep thinking about

people who lost everything,” Campbell said. The home was where Marti was raised with his nine siblings. The original footprint of the house was built as a cabin in 1904, although his family

moved in decades later. They have insurance and hope the home can be fixed. And they plan to have the other giant Douglas fir in their backyard cut down. “What if he had died,” she said. “It brings me to tears.”

viewpoints

No one said owning a farm would be easy There are many qualities to admire about us Whidbey folk. One that I notice frequently is how fiercely we battle to keep things just the way they are. We fight tooth-and-nail against big development, environmental travesties or any sign of America creeping toward our pristine shores. We’d sooner jump off the Deception Harry Anderson Pass Bridge than permit a billRockin’ a Hard Place board or neon sign, for instance. Of course, as I’ve mentioned before, we also love to argue with each other about such things and almost everything else. That makes achieving consensus – and progress – a very tough row to hoe. No wonder our political leaders often look so tired. And that leads me to the current kerfuffle over the Greenbank Farm. I won’t raise your blood pressure by sharing all the details. The Cliff Notes version is this: many folks are beside themselves with angst and anger over the Port of Coupeville’s decision to manage the farm itself, kicking out the nonprofit management firm that’s done the job for nearly 20 years. Adjectives and expletives galore have been expended in the weeks since, a fair number of them printed in this newspaper. Everybody’s afraid of what all this could mean. It boils down to people not wanting the farm messed up. They like it just the way it is. But here’s my question: Just what is the Greenbank Farm supposed to be? We seem to know what we don’t want it to be: A condo project (bite my tongue!), a 20-bucks-a-head water slide park (say what?), a bunch of university offices (blissful cocoons for pointy heads?). Not on your life! The fact is, however, that the farm has always been changing over its more than 100-year history. It really did begin as a working dairy farm until it was sold it in the 1940s to John Molz, who planted loganberries and made loganberry wine. Over the years, Molz’s winery was merged with others and eventually became part of Washington wine giant Chateau Ste. Michelle, and its Greenbank winery became a major Whidbey tourist attraction. But then in 1995, the Rock was shocked to bedrock by the company’s decision to close the winery and sell the land for a residential subdivision. In 1997, a consortium of Island County, the Nature Conservancy and the Port of Coupeville came together to buy the farm and preserve it. The county and the Conservancy took the farm’s 370 acres of surrounding woodlands, while the Port – a tiny entity that also owns the Coupeville Wharf but gets taxes from just a fraction of the island’s property owners – took the 151-acre operating farm. It took a dozen years before the Port completed a master site plan for the farm. That plan does say lots of good things about its intentions: preservation, stewardship, sustainability and education. Over the years, well-liked businesses settled into the space, festivals and conferences have been held, and a training center for young people interested in sustainable farming opened. All well and good. But meanwhile the loganberries disappeared and the majority of the 151 acres are not used for much except off-leash dog trails and a solar array. Driving down Highway 525, visitors can see the barn but must wonder where the farm is. We know what we don’t want; that’s easy. The Port of Coupeville lacks the resources to keep up with the farm’s capital and maintenance requirements, none of us is eager to pay more taxes, and businesses at the farm say they can’t afford to pay a lot more rent. So the hard part is figuring out a future that keeps the farm just the way it is – but also makes its economically viable to survive another 100 years.

Pharmacy closing was a huge blow

Editor, The closing of Lind’s Pharmacy is a blow to Coupeville. The town, like Langley in 2009, appears to be too small to accommodate a standard pharmacy. Whidbey General, however, has a pharmacy, which currently serves only hospital inpatients. Some hospital pharmacies are open to the general public. The WGH pharmacy is already managed by Cardinal Health, a huge operation that operates retail, hospital and clinic pharmacies around the country, so such an expansion is quite feasible.

Additionally, the design of our about-to-be-built new hospital wing has space set aside for a new pharmacy — but time is of the absolute essence. I’ve asked that this possibility be put on the Whidbey General Hospital board’s September meeting agenda. If you think the idea has merit, or cannot work, please contact board president Ann Tarrant at wghdis trict5@whidbeygen.org Whidbey General and its home town have enjoyed a special and intimate relationship since 1970. It’s a long shot, but maybe the two can help each other out again.

Rob Born Greenbank

What’s the point in naming sexuality?

Editor, You describe Trish Rose as the highest ranking openly gay service member in the United States. Why didn’t you describe Robert Born as an openly heterosexual candidate for hospital commissioner in Coupeville? Is it necessary that we know people’s sexual preference?

HELP: Water Festival volunteers are needed From page 1 make up the festival board and activities chairs. And another 160-200 sets of hands are needed the day of the actual event, which features tribal canoe races and other native cultural activities. “We’re hoping for younger volunteers with more energy and new ideas,” Reyes said. Of those 20 volunteers who make up the organizing group, about threefourths are looking to move on. The positions are broken down into specific duties. Some volunteers are looking to pass on the torch immediately for the 2016 festival, including the trea-

surer, two board member positions, an operations co-lead, rental coordinator, set-up/cleanup lead, arts and crafts vendors co-lead, salmon feed lead, Native Spirit Art Show lead, and the youth activities lead is looking for a co-lead to train to take over in 2017. Other positions that will need to be replaced in 2017 are the president, five board member positions, operations lead, signs lead, fundraising lead, marketing/publicity lead, public awareness lead, merchandise lead, information booth position, graphics lead, fine art lead, print materials lead, education exhibits lead, arts and crafts vendors lead and the volunteer coordinator lead.

CRIME: Two men face charges for burglary From page 1 Investigators believed that the burglars were targeting marijuana being grown at the home, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The state crime lab recovered fingerprints from a “plastic grow box” at the residence and identified the prints as belonging to Burley, the report states. Before he was arrested, Schmakeit allegedly told a friend that he assaulted the older man when he was fleeing the house with a crossbow and a tray of “shatter,” which is a concentrated

form of THC. He allegedly told the friend that “it’s bad doing these botched jobs with Codie,” the report states. Deputies went to Burley’s house on Aug. 29 and arrested him. Burley allegedly tried to flee out the back door with his infant in his arms but stopped when he saw a deputy. Burley whispered to his mother while he was hugging him goodbye. She started to reach into his pocket but a deputy stopped her; he found that he was trying to conceal a bag of pot, the report states.

County drops speed on Engle Road

By Dan Richman Staff Reporter

In response to vigorous public reaction, the speed limit on Engle Road in Coupeville will be cut to 35 mph, from 50, from Hill Road to the town limits, the Island County Board of Commissioners concluded Tuesday. An earlier proposal would have imposed the 35-

mph limit only along the 0.2 mile south of town, though several residents wanted that limit along the road’s entire length. “I like the word ‘compromise,’ and that’s what this is,” said Commissioner Rick Hannold. County engineers will study whether parts or all of Engle Road should be a nopassing zone, pledged county

engineer Bill Oakes. And storm drains along the road that bicyclist Greg Sivertsen said pose a menace to cyclists will be examined, said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. The 15 area residents who attended Tuesday’s hearing seemed pleased by the decision. “There’s no risk to the county in reducing more of

the road to 35 mph,” said Alan Hancock, an Engle Road resident. “The risk is in having a burst of 50 mph. That makes no sense.” Residents first objected to the more limited speed-limit reductions at a commissioners’ meeting several weeks ago. A third hearing will be required to finalize the changes agreed to on Tuesday.

COUPEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL FALL PREVIEW Wolves head into 2nd year of Olympic League play By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

After a strong debut in the Olympic League last fall, the Coupeville High School teams, behind a talented core of returning athletes, shoot to leave a more impressive mark this year. Here’s a look of at the Wolves’ fall teams for 2015.

Football team on the rise The Coupeville High School football team has steadily improved in the win column in recent years and aims to continue that climb this fall. The Wolves finished 5-5 overall and 3-3 in Olympic League play in 2014, narrowly missing out of the playoffs. Coupeville lost several key players to graduation, including the Olympic League’s Most Valuable Player and all-state selection Josh Bayne, who rushed for 1,528 yards; starting quarterback Joel Walstad, who threw for 1,675 yards; and all-league linemen Oscar Liquidano, Matt Shank and Aaron Wright.

The Wolves’ cupboard, however, is far from bare. Coupeville’s top three rushers after Bayne are back. Senior Wiley Hesselgrave rushed for 430 yards on 52 carries (an 8.27 yards per carry average). He also caught 23 passes for 364 yards and was a first-team, all-league linebacker. On defense, he registered 62 tackles, second behind Bayne. He led the team in sacks (three) and recovered fumbles (five) last year. Senior Latham Kelley battled injuries in 2014, playing in only five games. He still piled up 407 yards on 46 carries (8.85 yards per run) and helped out on defense with 37 tackles. Junior Jacob Martin added 295 yards on 57 carries (5.18). C.J. Smith, Walstad’s backup at QB, also returns. The senior tossed 15 passes last fall, hitting nine for 99 yards. Senior Ryan Griggs, the team’s leading receiver with 485 yards on 29 catches, returns. Smith caught 25 passes for 371 yards last season. In all, 18 lettermen fill out the roster, and that experi-

Autio, a setter, will guide the CHS attack . ence is the team’s strength, according to first-year head coach Brett Smedley, who was an assistant coach the past three years. “We have a lot of players coming back this year that saw significant time last season,” he said. His major concern is the lack of depth, a problem that has consistently plagued the Wolves over the years. That issue, however, is improving, Smedley said, as the size of the team grows. As of Monday, the Wolves’ roster numbered 45. Returning senior lettermen are Hesselgrave, Kelley, Griggs, Smith, Brenden Gilbert, Jake Lord, Josh Lord, Mitchell Losey and J.R. Pendergrass. Junior letter winners are Martin, Mitchell Carroll, Dominic Dausey and Clay Reilly. Sophomores who lettered last fall are Hunter Downes, Hunter Smith, Cameron Toomey-Stout, James Vidoni and Julian Welling. Hunter Smith earned all-league honorable mention as a defensive back in 2014. The top newcomers, Smedley said, are seniors Jordan Ford (WR/DE), Josh Poole (WR/DB) and Zane Bundy (WR/DB); sophomore Jake Hoagland (TE/LB); and freshmen Gabe Eck (QB/DB) and Ty Eck (WR/DB). Smedley, who took over for Tony Maggio, said the team is handling the change in head coaches well: “I have been coaching and teaching them for the last three years, so the adjustment isn’t the same as having a brand new face come in.” While racking up wins would be nice, Smedley said the season would be a success

“if at the end of the day, our players know in their hearts that they gave it their all for their teammates, our football family.” He added that he expects his players to live up to the team’s core covenants –– belief, commitment, competitiveness and selflessness –– on and off the field. “The support that our program has received thus far from parents and the community has been amazing,” he said. “We all really appreciate it.” Schedule makers didn’t do the Wolves any favors, sending Coupeville on the road for its first four games and for six of the nine contests. The Wolves open at rival South Whidbey at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4. The first home game is 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, when Klahowya comes to town.

Soccer builds on success The Coupeville High School soccer team is coming off its best season ever. To repeat that success, the Wolves will need to get a boost from a new crop of players. Only four letter winners return from last year’s team which reached the playoffs after finishing second in the Olympic League with a 3-3 record and 6-7 overall. The lone returning senior, Jennifer Spark, will give Coupeville both a lift in talent and, well, a spark in inspiration. Spark, the team captain, suffered a devastating knee injury early last fall and now has returned after “reconstructive surgery and months

of rehabilitation and painstaking physical therapy,” according to coach Troy Cowan. Also back is last year’s Rookie of the Year, Mia Littlejohn, who will play multiple positions, Cowan said, and junior Bree Daigneault and sophomore Sage Renninger. Cowan lauded Daigneault’s growth in both talent and leadership: “She transformed herself into something special.” Renninger will help lead the offense, Cowan said, with “lightning” in her feet. Among the top newcomers, according to Cowan, are

freshmen Kalia Littlejohn, Mia’s sister, and Lindsey Roberts. Both will make “a major impact on the Olympic Conference,” according to Cowan. “Our goals are simple,” Cowan said. “Improve each and every half, give 100 percent effort and never, ever quit. We are going to focus on what we can control and manage what we can’t.” He said the team’s youth is both its greatest strength and greatest weakness. The youngsters “bring high energy” but “lack experience on the pitch.” SEE WOLVES, A11

WOLVES CONTINUED FROM A10

Coupeville will begin the season at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, at the Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor along with South Whidbey. The Wolves go to Mount Vernon Christian at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, for the first of four straight away matches. The first home match is 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, with Orcas Island.

Veterans head v-ball team The Coupeville volleyball team will send only two seniors out on the court, but the Wolves won’t lack for veterans. Eight letter winners return and many logged significant playing time in 2014. Back are seniors Sydney Autio (S) and McKenzie Bailey (MB); juniors Tiffany Briscoe (OH), Valen Trujillo (L) and Ally Roberts (OPP); and sophomores Kyla Briscoe (OH/OPP), Katrina McGranahan (MB) and Lauren Rose (S). Trujillo earned first-team, all-Olympic League honors last fall. Key newcomers, according to second-year coach Breanne Smedley, are sophomores Hope Lodell (OH) and Payton Aparicio (OH) and freshman Emma Smith (MB). The Wolves, who finished 2014 with a 1-11 record and 1-5 in the Olympic League, are aiming for much more success this time around. “My expectation is that our team competes every day, gives maximum effort for the sake of their team and challenges each other to become better,” Smedley said. “Our

Sebastian Davis rallies during a match last fall. Davis should contend for the league singles title and the Wolves for the team championship this year, according to coach Ken Stange. goals are to improve with each week, earn a league title and compete into the postseason.” Smedley added that it will be a successful season if “we play united and continue to challenge our limitations.” The strengths of the team, according to Smedley, are the ownership the players have taken in the program, their competitiveness and their continual improvement. The Wolves will play in a jamboree in Oak Harbor at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 5, and then host island rival South Whidbey at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Tennis team eyes title Coupeville High School tennis coach Ken Stange has lofty expectations for his squad this year. “Honesty, if we fail to

win the league title, it will be a disappointing season,” he said. Stange has reason to be confident, he returns almost his entire lineup from last year when the Wolves finished second in the Olympic League with a 4-2 record. “We are very deep,” he said. Among the 10 returning lettermen is senior Sebastian Davis, who played second singles last year behind graduate Aaron Curtin, a state qualifier. “(Davis) is the heir apparent to the league singles title,” Stange said. Davis posted a 6-0 record in league play last year and placed second to Curtin in the league singles tournament. Also back are the eight full-time doubles players. The returning lettermen are seniors Davis, Connor McCormick and Loren Nel-

son; juniors Joseph Wedekind, John McClarin, Grey Rische, Jared Helmstadter and Jimmy Myers; and sophomores Joey Lippo and William Nelson. The leading newcomers are seniors Garrett Compton and Cole Payne and sophomore Nick Etzell, Stange said. “Our doubles teams, while taking quite a beating last year, will benefit from the combination of another year’s experience and attrition from the other schools,” Stange said. “I’ve never had this sort of doubles depth on the boys team. They are all bigger and stronger, and there has been a noticeable rise in consistent play. “We will also be strong at the top, with Sebastian anchoring our singles trio.” The Coupeville girls, also coached by Stange, won the league tennis title last spring, and now the boys “are ready to hang one (a banner) up for themselves.” The Wolves will be tested early. They play at Klahowya at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. The Eagles are the defending Olympic League champions and defeated the Wolves twice last year.

Large squad cheers CHS The Coupeville High School cheer squad will have plenty of lung power this fall. Coach Cheridan Eck’s team numbers 30, including nine returnees. Back are seniors captain Allison Dickson, captain Sylvia Hurlburt, spirit captain Jovanah Foote, Maddy Neitzel and Jazmine Franklin. Foote and Hurlburt are fouryear team members. Returning juniors are Kiara Burdge, Lainey Dickson and Robin Cedillo. Naika

Sylvia Hurlburt cheers on the Wolves at a football game last year. She is one of the cheer team’s captains this fall. Hallam also returns after taking last year off. Each of the 21 new members “brings something unique to the team,” Eck said. Among the newcomers is Julia Borge, an exchange stu-

dent from Brazil. “This season is all about ‘ohana,’ which means family,” Eck said. “I’m focusing on the sisterhood of cheerleading and how important it is to be a team.”

On today’s agenda: lots of fun! If you haven’t already circled September 7 on your calendar, it’s time you did! This is the day on which Labor Day is to be celebrated across the country this year. In many people’s minds this official holiday, held on the first Monday in September, marks the end of the summer season. Labor Day weekend is the perfect occasion to make the most of summer’s small pleasures. Even though many businesses and offices will be closed on this day, others will take advantage of the holiday to open their doors for the last time before the end of summer. If you don’t have any inspired ideas of what to do over the Labor Day weekend, here are a few suggestions that might help you make the most of this holiday, no matter what the

weather is like: • go to the zoo or amusement park; • explore a new bike path; • enjoy a relaxing cocktail • organize a party in your backyard; • go camping; • visit a local tourist attraction; • rent a cottage with family or friends; • go to a museum or to the movies; • treat yourself to a day at a spa; • or simply go for a walk.
