Boys basketball breaks 33-game losing streak By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

It’s over. The Coupeville High School boys basketball team defeated host Mount Vernon Christian 51-41 Saturday to endw a 33-game losing steak. The string was extended to 33 when the Wolves lost to the Cascade Conference’s best

two teams earlier in the week. Tuesday, Jan. 8, they fell 54-16 at King’s and Friday they lost 71-28 at Cedarcrest. Coupeville’s last win came in 2011 when it stopped Meridian in the subdistrict. The win was the first for second-year coach Anthony Smith. See WIN, page 5

Coupeville regular takes over Mad Crab ownership By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter

A building on Coupeville’s Front Street with nearly 150 years of history is about to begin a new chapter. In a deal closed late last year, Seattle businessman-turned-property-investor Thom Kroon purchased the John Robertson Building from Fairway America, LLC., a hardmoney group based out of Portland, Ore.

Kroon, who plans to act largely as a landlord and shepherd of the historic building, said this week that a future tenant has not yet been identified, but that the “bones” of the building are in great shape and that it’s full of untapped potential. “We’re just really excited,” Kroon said. “I think it’s a great opportunity and we ready to step up and do a great business, and one that’s See SOLD, page 12

Larry Kwarsick has pleaded guilty to falsifying city records in Langley and will spend two weeks in jail next month for the crime, but he still has a job in Coupeville and will be earning $50 an hour. On Tuesday, the Coupeville Town Council agreed to terminate Kwarsick’s existing contract as town planner, an action he requested last month, but then agreed to rehire him to provide interim consulting services while officials search for a permanent replacement. The council also green-lighted Mayor Nancy Conard’s strategy for finding that replacement, a plan in which she appoints herself the town’s official planner until the position is filled. It’s unclear how long the recruitment process will take or how long Kwarsick’s services will be retained; Conard said it would be at least a couple weeks but could last a few months. “I wish I could say,” said Conard, responding to questions from council members. Laying out all three proposals, the mayor made it clear that Kwarsick’s interim services will not be as a planner or as the town’s designated SEPA, state Environmental Protection Act, responsible official. Instead, the agreement is for Kwarsick to aid in the transition process mainly by doing administrative work.

He has been a oneperson department for nearly 10 years and it would be helpful, said Conard, to have him work on an hourly basis to “clean up the files” and “get the computer records in order” for his replacement. Kwarsick In December, Kwarsick plead guilty to the misdemeanor crime of altering the conditions of permit for a family members home in 2011. At the time, he was also the city’s planning chief but the conditions were set by his predecessors, one of which was Town Councilman Larry Cort. Kwarsick stepped down from the post after being elected Langley’s mayor but that position was short lived as well. Last year, an online blogger wrote a series of articles, titled “How many hats are too many,” about Kwarsick’s role in government. It led to a whistleblower complaint from Langley’s new planner and ultimately a review by Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks. In a series of events since, Kwarsick was sentenced to two weeks in jail, a term he will serve in February, and resigned as mayor. Based on state law that restricts anyone See HIRED, page 12

Prairie Center removes pumps By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter

All things must eventually come to an end and this week it was Prairie Center Red Apple’s old gas pumps. That chapter in the town’s history was literally sealed Tuesday with a blurp and gurgle as workers topped off the store’s three underground gas tanks with concrete. “We just couldn’t be competitive,” said Ken Hofkamp,

the store’s owner for the past 40 years. The pumps, which have also been removed, were actually shut down this past fall, pumping their last drop of gas sometime around September, Hofkamp said. They will make way for additional parking, he said. Hofkamp couldn’t be sure how long the store had been providing Central Whidbey motorists with fuel, but said they were there when he

bought the store years ago from the late Herb Pickard. Daughter Jan Pickard didn’t know how long they’d been there either but confirmed that she couldn’t remember a time without them. She has many memories of pumping gas at her dad’s store during the 1950s. “I consider myself to be the first female gas jockey,” she laughed. According to Long-time Coupeville farmer Al Sher-

man, they have been there, at the very least, since Herb took over the store for his father, Moe Pickard, in the mid-1940s but likely were there even long than that. Hofkamp said he’s replaced the stores underground tanks twice. One worker estimated that it took about 15,000 gallons of concrete to fill all three tanks. Work should be finished this week.

Former owner named new examiner publisher Sound Publishing has named Keven R. Graves executive editor and publisher for the Whidbey Newspaper Group, which includes The Whidbey News-Times, the Whidbey Examiner and the South Whidbey Record, as well as the Crosswind, a monthly veterans publication. Graves is succeeding Kasia Pierzga in the role. Pierzga has accepted a public relations position with the Washington Department of Revenue in Olympia. “I have a real passion for newspapers, and while I’m excited about my new position, it will be hard for me to leave Whidbey and the newspaper industry behind,” Pierzga said. “But Keven is a great fit for the Whidbey community, and that makes me feel really good about the transition.” Lori Maxim, vice president of Sound Publishing, said she appreciates the contributions Pierzga made to the newspapers on Whidbey Island. “We will miss her enthusiasm and passion for the newspaper industry,” Maxim

said. “And we wish her the best as she returns to public relations.” Graves, 48, comes to Whidbey after 13 years as editor and publisher of the Nisqually Valley Graves News, a weekly newspaper in Yelm. He has a son, Liam, 17, who will complete high school in Yelm and relocate to Whidbey Island in June and attend college in the fall. “We are thrilled to have Keven take over the helm for the three Whidbey Island papers,” Maxim said. “He brings a breadth of experience, plus a commitment to community service, that we’re confident will resonate well in the community.” Though the job is new, Graves has roots in Whidbey Island dating back more than 30 years. “I was on the newspaper staff at Anacortes High School, and we’d bring the paper to Oak Harbor to be printed,” he said. “Owner-Publisher Wallie Funk

became a mentor, encouraging me to pursue a newspaper career.” “This is kind of like returning home,” said Graves. “My journalism career started at the Whidbey NewsTimes. I always hoped to return there someday.” “I’m glad that day has come,” he said. “I’m excited to rejoin Sound Publishing and work with the great staff.” Graves earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Western Washington University in 1987. He started his career as an intern reporter at the Whidbey NewsTimes. He was hired as a fulltime reporter and remained with the newspaper for the next seven years. During that time, Sound Publishing purchased the newspaper from Funk and co-owner John Webber and the paper went from weekly to biweekly. In 1991, Graves wrote and produced an “Extra” edition of the Whidbey News-Times announcing that the Whid-

and numerous other talented journalists and WNT alumnus.” After leaving the Whidbey News-Times as the assistant editor in 1994, Graves joined with four others in starting The Coupeville Examiner. He was editor and publisher when he left that newspaper in 1999 to accept the job at the Nisqually Valley News. Pierzga purchased the Examiner in 2006, expanding its circulation and news coverage. She sold the paper to Sound Publishing in June 2012, taking over as publisher for the Whidbey News Group shortly thereafter. In addition to being a seasoned journalist, Graves brings a variety of other experience to his new position. Always with a focus on community, he understands the importance of promoting local business through affordable and effective marketing and advertising. “Part of a newspaper’s

responsibility is contributing to a healthy sense of community,” he said. “Sound Publishing’s Whidbey Island newspapers serve a vital role in supporting local businesses and recording local history.” In addition to his new role as publisher, Graves is current vice president of the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association. He ascends to the presidency in October. He also serves on the WNPA Foundation Board of Directors. “I’ve worked with Keven for some time on the board, and I’m impressed with the capabilities he brings to the job, both on the business side and the news side,” Maxim said. Graves helped found the Yelm Lions Club Midday Branch in 2001, serving as its president for three years. He also has served on boards for the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce, South Sound Reading Foundation and the United Way of Island County. Graves will be relocating to Whidbey Island. He starts in his new role on Feb. 11.

Merwine to fill school board vacancy By Kathy Reed Staff Reporter

Members of the Coupeville School Board of Directors have appointed Glenda Merwine to fill the seat vacated last December by longtime school board member Carol Bishop. Merwine is a familiar face to many, having served as the principal of Coupeville Elementary School and as the Director of Student Learning for the Coupeville School District. She has spent her career in public education and told board members during a brief interview at Monday evening’s board meeting that she would relish a spot on the board. “I truly have dedicated my professional life to children,” Merwine said. “I am extremely dedicated to public education and have a passion for it.” The directors selected Merwine from a field of three

candidates. Orson Christensen and Robin Hertlein also applied for the opening, making the choice a difficult one. “This was not an easy decision,” said Board President Kathleen Anderson. “You all have strengths and would bring experience to the position.” “Can I just say it’s delightful to be in a community that had three people apply for this board position,” said interim Superintendent Karen Koschak. “Generally it’s difficult to find people to volunteer for these positions.” Board members had already scored the three candidates’ applications before the meeting. During the interview process, candidates not being interviewed waited in the music room across the hall from the elementary school library, where board meetings are held. Each candidate was asked the same 10 questions, which ranged from what three quali-

ties they felt were necessary in a superintendent to the applicants’ knowledge of how schools were funded and under what circumstances board members could meet in executive session. Again, board members assigned points to the candidates’ responses and the scores were totaled. Following the last interview, board members met in executive session to make their decision. Merwine was immediately sworn in by Koschak. During the interviews, each candidate said the most pressing issue is finding a superintendent. “Any superintendent should have a heart for kids, excellent communication skills, both written and oral, and understand the budget process,” Merwine said. Merwine will hold the atlarge seat until 2015, when the term expires and the seat will be up for election. The newly-appointed di-

board when I was a principal here and the director of student learning. They were always so giving of themselves and their time. This is a wonderful oppor-

tunity to work with them. “I’m extremely dedicated to this district and this is one more way I get to help,” she continued.

A fond farewell to a great community This is my last editorial as the editor and publisher of The Whidbey Examiner, Coupeville and Central Whidbey’s hometown newspaper. I’m returning to the field of public relations, having recently accepted a position at the Washington Department of Revenue in Olympia. It’s going to be hard to leave the newspaper – and the many friends I’ve made – here in Coupeville. But for me, it’s time for a new challenge. We achieved success in rescuing a community newspaper that was teetering on the edge of survival, helping it to grow and succeed despite the worst economy since the Great Depression. At time it’s been a tough slog, with long hours and many challenges, but it’s all been worth it. It’s been an honor and a privilege to record the past six years of Coupeville and Central Whidbey history in these pages. From spelling bees and sports victories to government snafus and contentious elections, the Examiner has been there to ask questions, shoot photographs and report the news. But all that hard work would be for nothing if not for the readers who look forward to reading the paper each week, and participate in its success by sending in news tips, story ideas and letters to the editor. Examiner readers have been extremely loyal during the 18plus years the paper has been reporting our local news. After I bought the paper from former publisher Mary Kay Doody a little over six years ago, I changed the name of the paper from The Coupeville Examiner to The Whidbey Examiner in order to appeal to a wider audience. Based on the outrage that rose up from those loyal readers, you would have thought I had shut the paper down! Now that the paper is owned by the same company that owns the North Whidbey and South Whidbey community papers, I’d like to suggest to incoming publisher Keven Graves that he seriously consider changing the name back. I think he would receive a hero’s welcome for that accomplishment. I’m proud of the way the Examiner is integral to the life of our community, not only reporting the news and delivering important information to our readers, but also making important contributions to the community’s success. One example is the leadership role the newspaper took in advocating for preservation of reliable ferry service on the Coupeville-Port Townsend route, which helped push lawmakers to come through with money to build three new ferries. The newspaper also has contributed to the community in more lighthearted ways, such as reviving the idea of an annual community portrait, a photo now taken at the Coupeville Farmers Market each year in late summer. The Examiner also started a new holiday tradition with its annual Gingerbread Challenge, a fun – and free – contest aimed at encouraging playful creativity among local residents of all ages. It’s that community involvement that’s been the most fun and satisfying aspect of being a small-town newspaper publisher for the past six years. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I’ll be living a few hours away in Olympia, but I know I’ll be back frequently to visit friends and attend community events (this time without a camera and notebook in hand!). And while it’s still a ways off for me, when it comes time for retirement, I can easily picture myself looking for a nice little beach house with a view across pretty little Penn Cove. – Publisher Kasia Pierzga

WIN: Boys bounce back to overcome; from pg. 1 Smith said, “It was a long time coming. I am so happy for the kids; they work so hard.” Coupeville won the game with an aggressive defense that beat down the Hurricanes (4-11) as the game went on. It also overcame two longtime problems, turnovers and third-quarter collapses. Entering the game Smith said his team would have a chance if it kept the miscues to under 20. The Wolves did, and committed only five after halftime. Instead of fading in the third quarter, Coupeville outscored Mount Vernon Christian 17-7. Spurred by five points by Ben Etzell and four from Aaron Trumbull, Coupeville jumped to a 13-7 first-quarter lead. Etzell hit the first hoop of the second quarter, then the Hurricanes went on a 13-2 run and finished ahead at the break 25-19. Nick Streubel, who sat much of the first half in foul trouble, scored the first two baskets of the third quarter to get the Wolves rolling. By the end of the period, Coupeville

led 36-32. With the game tied at 38, Aaron Curtin and Etzell scored to make it 42-38 with 4:06 left. From that point, the Wolves would not score another field goal but hit nine of 14 free throws to secure the big win. At one point during the hectic finish, the Coupeville defense forced MVC into five consecutive turnovers. The Wolves also overcame foul trouble. Curtin and Caleb Valko fouled out and Streubel had four. Etzell finished with 24 points, Trumbull nine, Streubel six, Carson Risner four, Curtin three, Valko three and Morgan Payne two. Smith said, “I hope this can be the start of something.” Against the King’s, Coupeville scored no more more than five points in any one quarter. The tradition-rich Knights are having another strong season, winning all eight league games and 11-3 over all, but aren’t as talented as some past seasons, according to Smith. Smith said, “For some

reason, we were just in awe. I don’t know why; they have the same-aged kids as we have.” The deer-in-headlight Wolves were mistake-prone, Smith said. “You are not going to win many games with 34 turnovers.” The game was a step back for Coupeville. The Wolves were coming off their three best offensive outputs of the season, but against King’s the mistakes limited their shooting opportunities. The Wolves connected on seven of 25 two-pointers (28 percent) and failed to hit any of their seven three-point attempts. Coupeville played good defense early, limiting the Knights to only nine firstquarter points. However, Coupeville countered with only two. King’s upped the margin to 28-7 at the half and 40-11 at the end of the third quarter. Trumbull and Etzell scored five points each for Coupeville. Drew Chan, Risner and Streubel had two apiece. Valko snared seven rebounds and Etzell had three

Coupeville played the last two games without starting forward Makana Stone, who was ill.

Cedarcrest (7-1, 12-2) used an in-your-face, full-court defense to power by the Wolves. Messner finished with seven points, Hoskins six, Hailey Hammer four, Fabrizi two, Escalle two and Walstad two.

Three photos from the book “Coupeville: Through the Eyes of its Children” are just a small taste of those in the book. All the photos were taken by children from 6 to 13 years of age. The photo at left is by Thora Iverson, 9. Center: Billy Larsen, 6. Right: Colin Engle, 7.

Book looks at Coupeville through children’s eyes Kids have a unique way of looking at things. Some of their perspective has been captured in a new book, “Coupeville: Through the Eyes of its Children,” a collection of photographs taken by children of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club. The project was the brainchild of Coupeville Boys and Girls Club Program Director Jo-Ellen Fischbach and was made possible by a grant from the Coupeville Festival Association. Fischbach said this was a great project for Coupeville kids to get involved with. “The kids here on the island have an untouched perspective,” she said. “Kids are still kids here. More and more that’s a rarity.” The club purchased five cameras with part of the grant money. Fischbach said she got cameras with built-in

change the colors, I didn’t add anything or take anything away from them.”

No one expected it to be as beautiful as it turned out.” The simple book has a

While many many have been expecting a project that was more like a scrapbook, Fischbach said she was able to produce a true art book. “This has the feeling of a children’s book, but it’s an art book,” she said. “Reaction has been really positive.

series of photos taken by children ranging in age from 6 to 13 at various locations. Two photos from Lavender Wind Farm, for example, depict a small footbridge over a brook and a water lily floating on a pond, in what Fischbach laughingly calls

her “homage to Monet,” on pages 18 and 19. “When I showed the book to Colin (Engle) and showed him his picture of the water lily, he said ‘Oh yeah — I was trying to get a picture of the goldfish,’” Fischbach said. The rest of the grant money was used to produce the book, which Fischbach did through the online service Blurb. The book uses the best quality photo paper available, which drove up the cost. Each book cost $46 to produce. The Boys and Girls Club donated a book to the Coupeville Festival Association, the Coupeville library and the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. The remainder are being sold at the Boys and Girls Club for $50 each. Fischbach hopes to find a less expensive way to produce more of the books so they can be sold at various businesses. “The next step is to find a cheaper way to produce them so we can get them out,” she said.

All in all, the project achieved its goal, said Fischbach. The children involved got a chance to explore their community and discover what sets it apart. “In trying to teach the kids about positive community, we had a chance to really expose them to their community, to help them learn what’s special about it,” said Fischbach. “Most children cannot just walk down to the beach. So we have great kids who are very expressive and outgoing, with a unique perspective.” As the children are able to pick up their book and look through it at the Boys and Girls Club, it stirs memories of summer days taking pictures, and Fischbach hopes, happy memories. “It’s been great to be able to present that to the kids,” she said. “It achieved its goal. It’s still art, but it’s kids.” Contact the Boys and Girls Club at 360-678-5640.

image stabilizers since they were to be used by children of all ages and the kids took turns using the cameras on various outings over the summer. “Their main instruction was ‘show what you’re seeing through the camera,’” said Fischbach. “We took pictures on field trips to the Admiralty Head lighthouse, Fort Casey, Lavender Wind Farms, Ebey’s Prairie, Sunnyside cemetery and all over the town of Coupeville. “We just let the kids go,” she continued. “They had tons of fun, although some enjoyed the project more than others.” Fischbach said she spent time over the fall going through all the photos and pulling out the ones she felt had artistic value. For the most part, the photos that appear in the 40-page, hardcover book are untouched. “All I did was crop them some, straighten them and adjust the contrast, that’s all,” Fischbach said. “These are their real photos.

SOLD: Former Mad Crab building gets new owner; from pg.1 good for Front Street.” Janet Burchfield, the Coupeville Realtor who brokered the sale, said Kroon was a great fit for the property. Not only does he, along with several of his siblings, also own the Knead and Feed Restaurant, but it’s located on Front Street and is a historic structure as well. “I’m thrilled,” she said. “I think he’s the perfect buyer.” Kroon moved to Central Whidbey with his family in 1965 when his father, the late Melvin Kroon, was hired

as the manager of Camp Casey Conference Center. His mother spent many years as a teacher in Oak Harbor and the Knead and Feed was opened in 1974. The John Robertson Building has a long history, which began in 1866 as Robertson’s waterfront store. It was no doubt an important location for the town, as at one time, a dock similar in size to the Coupeville Wharf was nestled between it and what is now Toby’s Tavern. In 1948, it was convert-

ed to a restaurant and has housed a handful over the past 60 years. While many today still call it the Mad Crab; others, may think of it as Captain Jacks or the Captain’s Galley. But for Kroon, he will always remember of it as the restaurant of his youth when he was a student at Coupeville High School. “The old Seagull,” said Kroon, recalling fond memories. While Kroon would move away, going on to serve out a

32-year career in the military – he retired as a U.S. Navy captain – and owning his own aerospace business, he’s always maintained a fondness for Central Whidbey. Having a home in Coupeville, Kroon said he’d been keeping an eye on the building for some time. He is now largely retired, but has been dabbling in select property investment, such as his recent purchase and refurbishment of a 1930s art-deco firehouse in Seattle. According to Kroon, the

“bones” of the building are in great shape. All that’s really needed, he said, is some heavy “elbow grease” and deciding on the best use of the property. Several ideas have been proposed but no decisions made, though he did debunk rumors that it will become home to a new Mexican restaurant. Kroon is leaning against any type of restaurant as it’s not a model that’s worked well for that particular building in the past, he said.

A future use will almost certainly be commercial and the deck made available for public viewing as being able to see the water is one of the bet part of Coupeville’s waterfront, he said. Other than that, he could only make one other assurance. “We’re not going to call it Capt. Thoms,” Kroon laughed. He hopes to have the building cleaned up and housing a new tenant by this summer.

HIRED: Towns brings Kwarsick back on consulting basis; from pg. 1 convicted of malfeasance from holding a public position, Banks is now pursuing legal action to ensure that Kwarsick never agains holds a public office. How Banks may respond to the town’s rehiring of Kwarsick was a topic of concern at Tuesday’s meeting. Councilman Bob Clay said he was worried the action may get the town or Kwarsick in more trouble. Conard said she shared those concerns and claimed

that recent attempts to contact the prosecutor had been unsuccessful. She did, however, discuss the issue with the town’s attorney – the law firm Weed, Graafstra, and Benson – and was told that the town was on solid legal ground. As Kwarsick would not be workings as town planner or as a SEPA official, hiring him to perform interim consulting services likely would not violate the letter of the law, she said.

According to Conard, the town’s attorneys also suggested she temporarily appoint herself as the town’s official planner. She said Kwarsick, who was hired in late 2003, will be challenging to replace and this is way to ensure that the town can continue to fulfill some of its lighter planning obligations. Long-term planning efforts, such as code or comprehensive plan updates, will be parked until a permanent re-

In an interview Friday morning, Banks said his plans to secure a court order that will forbid Kwarsick from ever again serving in public office are unchanged but that he doesn’t plan to scrutinize the town’s decision. “It sounds to me like they are trying to do something reasonable both for the citizens and abide by the law,” Banks said. “I’m not going to express any opposition to that move,” he said.

placement is found, said Conard, but short-term planning shouldn’t crawl to a stop. She made clear that while she would oversee permit work and provide an official signature, the heavy lifting would be done by other town officials, such as the engineer and building official. A short-term consultant may also be tapped if needed, she said. Council members voiced several questions and concerns on the three proposals

and Conard acknowledged that they weren’t a perfect solution. They are a short-term stopgap, she said. Cort did request that the interim services agreement with Kwarsick include a sunset clause of 90 days. It was heartily endorsed by not only Conard but the rest of the council as well. All three proposals were decided in separate votes and each was unanimous among the five council members.
