missing. “There were no front teeth and all those in the back were very worn down,” he said. Johnson said they found the jawbone close to the bluff, near a point of erosion, so it’s unclear whether it came from material that had sloughed off the cliff face or simply washed in with the tide. Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Society and the museum in Coupeville, confirmed Native Americans once inhabited the area so it’s entirely possible the remains are ancestral. “I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said. Central Whidbey, particularly Penn Cove, is an archeological hot spot. According to
Castellano, the area was once home to at least four villages, all located along the cove’s shoreline. Oak Harbor was also home to Native Americans and unexpected discoveries have been a headache for city planners. In 2011, remains found under Pioneer Way stalled a major road project and, to date, has cost the city nearly $4 million. Despite the many known sites that dot the area, Brooks said it was way too soon to make any conclusions. She declined to speculate on the origins of the jawbone until after the examination. “We’ll know more by the end of the week,” Brooks said.

Senior understands teamwork is important senior spotlight By Betty Freeman Staff Reporter
Coupeville High School senior Drew Chan, 18, is a team player. In his years at Coupeville High School, that’s meant playing both basketball and baseball, participating in ASB activities as a representative and secretary, being co-president of the National Honor Society, acting as a Big Brother to a 12-year old boy, and serving as president of the Leo Club, a new teen offshoot of the Lion’s Club that performs community service. Right now, much of his energy is channeled into the Coupeville baseball team. “It’s the most focused team I’ve been on since I’ve been at Coupeville High School. We’ve got more developed athletes this year,” said Chan. Chan has served as team captain for both the basketball and baseball teams this school year. He plays second base for
Playhouse to help 4-H A playhouse to help Island County 4-H is ready for raffling. “This awesome playhouse was built by South Whidbey Home Builders and donated to Island County 4-H to raise funds for the program,” said Sara Bergquist, program coordinator for 4-H Youth Development with WSU/Island County Extension. “It would make not only a great playhouse, but it could also be a garden shed, a ‘tiny’ house for guests, a meditation room, a tool shed, or anything else you can imagine,” Bergquist said. Bergquist describes the

the CHS Wolves baseball team, because he said, with a grin, “the middle infield is where it’s at.” Chan is optimistic about his baseball team’s chances this year and is pleased that he’s performing better himself. “Last year I struggled a bit at the plate, but I’ve been doing a lot of batting cage practice and I feel much better about my batting now,” he said. Chan lives in Greenbank with his parents Chris and Beverly at the south end of the sprawling Coupeville School District. He’s spent his entire life in Coupeville Schools, as did his dad before him. His grandparents, Donna and Thomas Chan, who live down the road in Greenbank, were both teachers in Coupeville schools. “My family has always been really supportive of me. They’ve helped coach me and encouraged me to do my best and be a better person,” said Chan. His parents and grandparents have been loyal supporters of his athletic events, attending almost every game. His dad Chris helps out as a volunteer with the CHS
baseball team. Another collaborative project for Chan and his dad has been the restoration of his pride and joy, a 1972 Mustang Mach 1 fastback. “When I was around 13, I found the Mustang in an old turkey barn on Fort Casey Road where it had been stored for 12 years,” said Chan. “We were lucky to get it for a good price, and it’s been a long-term project for my dad and me.” They finished rebuilding the engine this past summer, with the expert help of a family friend. Another friend helped with the bodywork and the repainting of the car with flat black paint and glossy black stripes. Chan has financed his part of the project with parttime work in the produce section at Payless in Freeland. “The people I work with are really nice and they’ve helped me have a better work ethic,” said Chan. Other inspiring adults in Chan’s life include his high school calculus teacher Kyle Nelson and English teacher Barbara Ballard. “”I’ve never been that great at math, but having Mr. Nelson has really helped.

He’s always there to explain things and help out,” said Chan. “And Ms. Ballard is always pushing me to do better,” he added. Next fall, Chan will cross the mountains to attend Washington State University where his older sister Laura is enrolled.

Pheasant family is a welcomed addition to office One of the things I’ve really enjoyed since moving to the island is all the wildlife. Every morning on my way to work I would see a hawk right near Outlying Field. Usually he, well I assumed it was a he, would be perched on a power line, waving his tale up and down. Sometimes I would spot him sitting in the grass. I think he spends his days searching for yummy field mice. It became a game each morning and evening as I traveled my destination, spotting my regular hawk. I know there are a lot of hawks in the area, but I’m convinced it’s the same one. I moved recently and I don’t travel that same path anymore, but I still see an abundance of wildlife. Whether it’s flocks of birds in Ebey’s Prairie or all the deer I spot as I drive the island, the wildlife is abundant on Whidbey. Several weeks ago we noticed there’s a family of pheasants living behind our office. Sightings of them have become more frequent over the last few weeks to the point where we can almost always spot them at any given time. There is one male, whom I’ve affectionately named Franklin, and three hens. Usually Franklin is out in the prairie squawking up a storm. We usually hear him before we see him. I believe Franklin and his harem live in the bushes below my office window. The other day they even greeted me as I pulled my car into the parking lot. While they aren’t downright friendly toward humans, they are definitely comfortable and not skittery. Franklin and his squawk has become a familiar and welcomed addition to the office environment. As I write this, I can hear his familiar call. As the weather gets better and OLF becomes more active, the sounds of airplanes are becoming more prominent. The noise doesn’t bother me as it does some people. I actually think Franklin is actually louder. — Megan Hansen, editor

Now’s the time to speak on pipeline Editor, Please help me save my daughter’s future and your daughter’s also. The President is about to make, arguably, the most important decision of his presidency and possibly in history. The decision is whether to approve the proposed XL Pipeline, which would connect the Alberta Tar Sands to refineries owned by the Koch brothers in Texas. According to one of the world’s leading climatologists, NASA’s James Hansen, the tar sands are a “climate bomb” which, if allowed to reach its full potential, means “game over for the climate.” The XL pipeline is the fuse to that bomb. It is critical to our future that this bomb not go off. Recently, the US State Department determined that there will be no adverse impacts from allowing the pipeline because if there were no pipeline the material could be transported by rail. Let’s examine this decision. The transport of oil by rail would cost $20 per barrel while transporting it via the pipeline would cost only $5/ barrel. That’s four times less, which would make the price at the pump cheaper. This would be an incentive to use more oil resulting in significantly more CO2
released into the atmosphere at a time when we need to drastically reduce CO2 emissions. Trains rarely derail and when they do the material is largely contained. Pipelines always leak and sometimes rupture spilling oil contaminating rivers, soil and groundwater. Furthermore, this company has a terrible track record for spills and cover up. This pipeline encourages the development of Alberta’s Tar Sands. The fossil fuel industry has spent 146 million dollars convincing the American public to ignore this issue. Unfortunately, they did not convince the forces of nature. With 396 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere and sea levels rising we are in phase two of the CO2 Crisis: Mitigation and Adaptation. Prevention is no longer an option. A shift to a fossil free future is critically overdue. We’ve wasted two decades. According to the International Energy Agency each year we delay adds $500 billion to the costs of dealing with its impacts. We have experimented with burning fossil fuels and the results are in. Our climate and ocean have been destabilized. Witness the bizarre, extreme weather we’ve seen recently: super storms, floods one year followed by droughts the next, vast forests on fire, unprecedented melting of the polar ice cap (our sunshade) and glaciers. The ocean is 30 percent more acidic then before the discovery of

petroleum and impacting its inhabitants: coral reefs, oysters and pteropods. As Bill McKibben says, “When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” We must let President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry know that the citizens of the USA are not willing to trade our future to make the multi-billionaire Koch brothers richer. Two critical strategies are necessary to implement immediately: a carbon fee and refund bill, and to disinvest from corporations mining fossil fuels. Let’s stop being fossil fools and be better ancestors. Learn more at the Citizens’ Climate Lobby and 350.org websites.

There’s a new debate in paleontology, one that took me by surprise but that shows nicely how some science works. There’s a particular type of ancient fossil called the “Ediacara fauna” found in rocks about 550 million years old. The term Ediacara is a reference to a place in Australia where the fossils were located and well-described. Similar fossils were found around the world at several locations. The Ediacara fauna is made up of several types of small impressions left in what’s now solid rock. The impressions show simple life-forms that were flat like little pancakes or long like simple worms. They had no eyes and no legs but they were the first multicellular organisms to grace the Earth, so they were advanced forms of life in their day. I was taught the simple little guys were animals that were flat or long because they needed to exchange gases through their skin and thus they needed considerable surface area to stay alive in the shallow seas in which they lived. There has always been more than one way to interpret the Ediacara fauna.
tions in trace chemicals and different types (or isotopes) of carbon and oxygen similar to what we’d expect in soils, he says. Also, the texture of some of the rocks has a wavy surface like “elephant skin,” a phenomenon seen in some soils. So, says Retallack, the Ediacara lived in soil rather than on the seafloor. Researchers can and should voice different ideas based on what they can come up with as they study the fossil record. It’s a sign that science is healthy when scientists disagree and have sometimes vigourous arguments about the same fossils. But I really do wish for one simple time-machine to clear up many debates about the history of life on Earth.
2013 Whidbey Island Relay for Life
E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc
They may not have been animals, but perhaps lichens — an interesting life form that’s a combination of fungi and algae that help one another survive. Some paleontologists reject that view and have considered putting the Ediacara into their own “kingdom” in terms of the classification of life forms sketched by science — meaning the Ediacara were organisms that were quite unlike plants, animals, or fungi. The limited information available from the trace impressions the Edicara left behind is what makes many different hypotheses possible. Some issues in science can be resolved by relatively clear-cut experiments in a laboratory. Paleontology isn’t like that, and unfortunately we don’t have time machines that would let us travel back to ancient times and study live and wiggling little Ediacara organisms. Instead we must do what we can with the samples of rocks and fossils we have. Recently I was surprised to hear of a new and quite different hypothesis about our simple, little friends from prehistory. Gregory Retallack of the University of Oregon argues that the rocks of at least some Ediacara are paleosols – that’s geospeak for ancient soils. The rocks have varia-

State tows ‘Grumpy’ from Double Bluff DNR removes vessel to thwart possible breakup and pollution By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
A lot of man-made materials wash up on Double Bluff Beach and the 25 acres of tidelands owned by a nonprofit. Ropes, clothes, bottles and cans are strewn across the hard sand, tangled with driftwood and eelgrass. So when a 50-foot wooden boat, dilapidated and taking on water, rests upon barnacle-encrusted rocks, residents notice. An abandoned vessel named “Grumpy” had residents of the water view homes on Double Bluff feeling just like the ship’s namesake. Disgruntled neighbors were relieved Tuesday morning to see it gone. The state Department of Natural Resources, or DNR, had Grumpy towed to Everett during the night and assumed temporary possession, according to a DNR spokesperson. “What drives these things is if we feel the boat is in imminent danger of causing a pollution problem or a safety problem,” said Toni Droscher, DNR’s aquatics program communications manager. DNR knew who owned

The state Department of Natural Resources had a 50-foot wooden boat that was anchored and abandoned on private tidelands on Double Bluff Beach towed to Everett Monday night. The “Grumpy,” which was leaking and had to be pumped before being towed, was first reported by watchful residents on March 16. The name of the vessel’s owner was not available at presstime. Grumpy, but had not contacted the owner by press time. The name was not released, but Droscher said the owner had at least one other vessel DNR retrieved. Grumpy’s last known port was Eagle Harbor Marina on Bainbridge Island. Costs related to the emergency vessel retrieval were not known because DNR had yet
TERI MENDIOLA
to receive billing, though the crew that responded to the derelict vessel is on an emergency contract with the state. No pollution was observed during the ship’s extraction. Droscher said workers did not observe any sheening, oil or other pollutants. “We hope that’s the case, that nothing spilled during the process,” she said. Global Diving and Salvage, which has a corporate office in Seattle, patched some leaks and pumped water from the vessel Monday evening. Grumpy arrived at
its temporary location in Everett around 3 a.m. Tuesday. The Department of Natural Resources, which is the state’s agency for derelict vessel removal, will post a notice of intent to obtain custody of Grumpy. A 30-day window starts once notice is given for the owner or owners to claim the vessel and the penalties for allowing Grumpy to run aground and require towing. Once the notice period expires, DNR may scrap the vessel for parts. But judging by the leaks and splintered keel on the boat, the job may be half started.

“Sounds like mother nature got a jump start on that,” Droscher said. It was first spotted and reported Saturday, March 16 by residents. Mike Moore, a retired officer of the JAG Corps and USNR, reported the wreck to the U.S. Coast Guard after seeing it on a morning beach walk. When an aircraft carrier cruised by the west side of Whidbey Island, waves from the Navy ship caused Grumpy, built in 1943, to lift and smash on the rocks. “It bounced Grumpy pretty heavily up and down the beach,” Moore said. “The last thing we need is that garbage (ship) discharging diesel and rat poison in this water.” Beached, or rather rocked,
Grumpy leaned slightly with its left side facing the sun. While Grumpy’s white and green port and hull got a tan, its starboard poured out water from a seam in its planks. Its anchor was cast from the bow. A quick look inside Grumpy revealed a mess of items: a generator, a coffee mug with the eagle seal of the United States of America and clothing. Lawn chairs sat strapped to the deck and a radar device protruded just below the U.S. flag. On the beach near a staircase to Double Bluff was a small wooden dinghy, tied to a piling. A couple of life vests were on the landing with a Coleman lantern and a soggy leather jacket.

Commissioners to decide on interim planning chief By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
The Island County commissioners will consider the appointment of an interim planning chief next week. The board is scheduled to discuss the matter at its regular meeting today, March 20, in the Commissioner’s Hearing Room, 1 NE Sixth Street in Coupeville. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. The leading candidate to temporarily lead the planning department is Keith Higman, director of Island County Public Health, though it’s not yet certain whether the board will move forward with an interim director at all. “I can and am interested
in doing the job on behalf of Island County,” said Higman, though he added that he has some reservations. He has no interest in taking on the job permanently and expressed hopes that the board will move quickly to find and select a department director. He’s helped with past transitions and they were a “challenge,” he said. Earlier this month, Island County Planning and Community Development Director Bob Pederson made the surprise announcement that he will be stepping down to pursue other interests. His last day on the job is April 5. The commissioners have begun the process to find a
replacement and began discussing the need for an interim director early last week. Commissioner Jill Johnson was the prime cheerleader for the idea, saying she believed was “imperative” to communicate a transition plan to planning staff and recommended Higman serve as temporary department head. He served as planning’s interim chief for about six months in 2009 after former director Jeff Tate stepped down. Higman’s temporary role ended with the hiring of Pederson. Johnson said that past experience served him well but she also recommended that some responsibilities, par-
ticularly building decisions, be shared with Andy Griffin, the department’s long-time building official. She urged expediency, saying Pederson’s last day is just around the corner. “We don’t have a lot of time and I want to make sure there is communication between Mr. Pederson and interim leadership,” Johnson said. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she liked the team approach but noted there are several big issues facing the department. Asking Higman to tackle them may be too much to ask, she said. “There’s a number of very significant issues that are
pending and I want to make sure that we are mindful of those,” Johnson said. Two matters in particular, she said, include the longstanding argument over Oak Harbor’s Urban Growth Area and an update of the joint development guidelines for Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Additional umbrella oversight and assistance may be needed, Price Johnson said. She added that Pederson had agreed to help with some of the larger matters by working as a contracted consultant. Commission Chairwoman Kelly Emerson said Higman has a lot to contend with and made it clear she wanted to delay making a decision
and discuss the matter further at today’s work session. Price Johnson was supportive of an interim plan, saying “boots on the ground” are needed, she but agreed that it may be helpful to postpone a decision until the work issues facing the department are better understood. Some of that discussion took place Wednesday, March 13, but Emerson was not present so no decisions were made. Price Johnson said she believes consensus was reached, however, to appoint Higman as interim director. “I would imagine that’s where we’re going to land but we haven’t taken formal action yet,” Price Johnson said.
Man accused of WSU looks at options for Greenbank Farm weilding shotgun at girlfriend By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A 44-year-old Coupeville man is facing a felony charge for allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend’s head and threatening to kill her, according to court documents. Prosecutors charged Nicholas Burnett in Island County Superior Court March 6 with second-degree assault and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence. Four deputies responded to the report that the suspect in a domestic assault was armed with a shotgun in the early morning hours of March 2 at a rural Coupeville home, according to the report by Deputy James Scott with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The deputies arrived to find Burnett on the porch, yelling and waving his
hands around. Scott ordered him to drop an object in his hands, which turned out to be a bong, the report states. A shotgun was found on a nearby chair. The alleged victim said she and Burnett got into a fight over firewood earlier that night. She said Burnett dared her to punch him; when she did, he hit her in the face and threw deck furniture around in a rage, Scott wrote in his report. The woman said she tried to called 911, but Burnett took her cell phone and broke it. He got a shotgun, pointed it at her head and “told her he was going to kill her then kill himself because that was love,” the deputy wrote. If convicted of the charges, Burnett could face from six months to a year in jail under the standard sentencing range.

As leaders for the Port of Coupeville continue to sort out how the Greenbank Farm will operate, another entity is looking at whether to establish a presence at the publicly owned farm. Officials from Washington State University’s Extension are talking with port officials about ways to expand the education program’s satellite facility in Mount Vernon. Tim Lawrence, director for WSU Extension in Island County, stressed that no decisions have been made yet, but any possible work at the farm could be a benefit for small farms and small farm agriculture. Officials from WSU and the Port of Coupeville are still researching options. “The analogy is we’re kicking tires,” Lawrence said.
He said that, theoretically, short courses taught by instructors and professors involved with Washington State University could take place at the Greenbank Farm. The three port commissioners recently visited the Mount Vernon site to get an idea of the research being performed by the graduate students and faculty. Lawrence said that space is tight at Mount Vernon. Marshall Bronson, commissioner for the Port of Coupeville, said that talks have focused on the idea that researchers would use some of the farm land for test plots to find crops that would thrive on Whidbey Island, though he said he needs to see a concrete proposal before moving forward. Lawrence also said that a lot of questions need to be answered before WSU commits to the Greenbank
Farm, most notably how the farm will operate. The Port of Coupeville is currently looking at options for the management of the farm. The lease the Port of Coupeville has with the Greenbank Farm Management Group expires in March 2014. Port leaders are considering a variety of options including sending out requests for proposals for an entity to operate the farm or managing it directly. Lawrence said a number of other issues have to be examined as well including how the farm’s new conservation easement and current zoning would affect any potential proposal WSU might
Honey Bear
develop. He added any talks would also include a discussion about the access public would have to the research that is being conducted at the farm and how other activities, such as dog walkers, would impact the research. No decisions have been made. It’s a decision that will be made ultimately by the dean of WSU’s College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resources Sciences. Lawrence added any proposal has to be economically feasible and a win for the university. His job so far was to make Washington State University aware of the Greenbank Farm.

‘The weirdest thing we’ve ever seen’ Unexplained lights in the sky leave South Whidbey residents with questions
OBITUARY Beth Chandler
June 23rd, 1920 – February 17th, 2013 Beth was born and raised in Texas. She met G. K. (Kenneth) Chandler and they married when she was 20. Together, they had 3 children: Ken, Judy, and Colette. (They now have 7 grandchildren and 4 greatgrandchildren). The focus of their life together was their family, their faith, and their beloved friends. Professionally, Beth worked as a secretary. Once she and Ken retired they spent many years volunteering at St. Mark’s Episcopal church in Houston, Texas. Beth started volunteering with Meals on Wheels. Next she and Ken were on a church team that adopted a family from Viet Nam. They were on an Aids Care Team for many years. Beth delivered flowers to homebound church members. And finally, after Ken died in 1986, she worked in a homeless shelter in downtown Houston called Community of Peace. In 2004 – when Beth was 84 – she sold her house in Texas and bought a new home in Coupeville. Not
like nothing he’s ever seen before. It lacked signature aviation navigation lights, moved quickly and was totally silent. “I know what a helicopter sounds like; thump, thump, thump,” he said. “This was no noise.” While he’s more inclined to believe the lights were some sort of top-secret military project, as opposed to a flying saucer from outer space, the experience was more than a little startling. The Johnsons called 911 and, as directed, contacted the Federal Aviation Administration to report their obser vations. They received no explanation. “Someone has to come up with an answer for this because this was kinda scary,” he said. Mike Welding, spokesman for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, confirmed that two P-3 Orions — large four-engine turboprop submarine hunters — took off from the airbase Saturday evening but neither flew over South Whidbey. A Whidbey News-Times reporter also visited six different homes around the Johnsons’ house, but none of the neighbors reported seeing anything out of the ordinary that night. Several did express disappointment, however, at being left out.
“I wish I’d seen it,” Tim Oliver said with a laugh. A 23-year resident of the community, he also has a great view of the water and often observes marine and air traffic passing through the area. Oliver said he’s never witnessed anything that might fit into the extraterrestrial categor y, but planned to redouble his vigil following the Johnson’s encounter. “Now I’m really going to be looking out the window,” he said. Another neighbor, who asked to be identified only by her first name, was home Saturday evening but said she also missed the excitement.
Town of Coupeville Spring Clean-Up Day
Beth Chandler long after she arrived she said, “In many ways, my life began when I moved to Coupeville.” She made many friends and had many interests. She took classes in pottery, attended the Farmer’s Market faithfully and stood on the corner of Highway 20 and Main St. in Coupeville waving a banner for world peace. Beth lived a life of grace and gratitude – offering true regard and respect for all those in her life. Because of this Beth became a magnet for love. A memorial and celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 23 at St Augustine’s in the Woods Episcopal Church in Freeland. All are welcome.

Dick Johnson, a Bush Point resident, recounts a strange and frightening experience Saturday when he and his wife witnessed unexplained lights in the sky over their home.

“That would be cool if it was (a UFO) but I didn’t see anything,” Janice said with a smile. While being interviewed, another neighbor drove by and Janice eagerly asked if she had seen anything. The driver replied that she hadn’t but expressed the same excitement over the possibility. Although the Johnsons appear to be the only people in Bush Point to witness the phenomenon, sightings of unexplained flying objects are nothing new on Whidbey Island. According to the Washington-based National UFO Reporting Center’s online database, six different sightings have occurred over the past eight months alone between Coupeville and Clinton. The most recent took place in January when an observer reported seeing a “shiny boomerang shape flying over Langley.” “It made no noise and looked as if it was reflecting light, not emitting light,” the unidentified party
wrote. “It was a clear night and if there had been any details on the object (landing gear, engine housings) they would have been easily visible but there were none.” A July sighting last year, this one from the Clinton area, was strikingly similar to that of the Johnsons’. “The objects were completely silent, orange in color, and appeared to be very close. There was no flickering or other lights coming from the objects,” reporting party wrote. Dick Johnson said he can’t identify just what he saw and isn’t making any conclusions. Both he and his wife, however, are sure that the lights were real and that they were the strangest thing they’ve seen in 17 years of living in Bush Point. “This is not something I was imagining,” Dick Johnson said. “I was sober, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke pot‚ I definitely saw what I saw.” “I’d swear on a stack of Bibles,” he said.

Unidentified flying objects over South Whidbey last weekend have left a Bush Point couple baffled and scared. A series of mysterious orange lights appeared in the sky over Dick and Carol Johnson’s home Saturday evening. While they are used to seeing all kinds of marine and air traffic from their picture windows overlooking Admiralty Inlet, the couple admits this has left them scratching their heads. “We’ve seen a lot of stuff, but this was the weirdest thing we’ve ever seen,” said Dick Johnson, a retired civil engineer. The Johnsons have lived in the community for 17 years and were watching television Saturday at about 8:30 p.m. when they
noticed what appeared to be a steady, orange light hovering over Marrowstone Island. The lone light was quickly joined by several more, which then began to make their way across Puget Sound. Dick Johnson walked out on his porch and, to his astonishment, saw more over Whidbey Island, somewhere between their home and Lagoon Point. The incident ended when two of the strange lights flew over their neighborhood; one went right over the top of their house, Dick Johnson said. In all, they reported a total of seven objects. “The first thing I thought was Area 51 moved to Whidbey Island,” he said. As a hobby, Dick Johnson studies militar y aircraft, but said this was

Whidbey Reads series kicking off this week By Betty Freeman Staff Reporter
Whidbey Reads, an allisland program that encourages everyone to read the same book and experience adjunct events that support its themes, has chosen Bainbridge Island author Jonathan Evison’s portrait of the Olympic Peninsula, “West of Here” for their 2013 selection. Ann Murphy, an Oak Harbor librarian, chaired the Whidbey Reads committee this year. During the phase when the committee was considering several local authors, Murphy heard Jonathan Evison speak at a book event in Bellingham and was impressed with his approachable style and honest appraisal of his work. “People either love the book or they hate it,” Evison said at the event. “That’s fine with me as long as they’re talking about it.” Murphy was impressed by Evison’s friendly style of mingling with his audience. “He was named ‘Most Engaging Author’ in 2011 by the American Bookseller’s Association,” said Murphy. Coupeville Librarian Leslie Franzen acknowledged that Evison’s book “takes time to get into,” but it’s a good read overall and has several “laugh out loud” moments. “Evison is an author to watch and he’s well on his way,” said Franzen, who said she enjoyed his third novel, “The Revised Fundamentals

Jonathan Murphy, author of “West of Here” will kick off Sno-Isle Libraries Whidbey Reads series this week. of Caregiving” even more than “West of Here.” Franzen noted that the paperback is also available in e-reader formats and in audio form. Friends of the Library groups from all five Island County libraries bought extra copies of the book in support of the Whidbey Reads program. Set in the fictional town of Port Bonita on the northwest coast of Washington, “West of Here” spans 127 years in the state’s history. Part of the narrative focuses on the rugged area’s natives and town’s founders circa 1890, and other segments show the lives of their descendants in 2006. The novel links the actions of the natives and
founders to their modern day descendants — one group rushing blindly toward the future and the other struggling to undo damage done by their ancestors. The narrative is bookended by events leading up to the building of the Elwha River dam in 1910 and its removal in 2006. In a 2011 interview on NPR, Evison acknowledged that the building of the dams on the Elwha River contributed to the economic growth of towns on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but he also spoke of the environmental damage caused by the Elwha and other dams on the Olympic Peninsula. His research for the book showed the Elwha salmon run in the 1800s was almost
half a million compared to a paltry 4,000 today. Jonathan Evison will do three “Meet the Author” presentations on Whidbey, starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at Oak Harbor Library. Evison then travels south for an afternoon presentation at the Coupeville Library at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 18 and another at 7 p.m. the same evening at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation Church in Freeland. When choosing a book for Whidbey Reads, committee members consider a number of factors. In recent years, budget concerns have led them to choose authors from Washington state. Another factor is the ap-
peal of any book to both male and female readers, and the availability of adjunct activities leading up to the author’s visit to three island locations in April. This year’s choice spawned a number of adjunct presentations, including the showing of the acclaimed PBS documentary “Undamming the Elwha” at 5:30 p.m. on Monday April 1 at the Coupeville Library. The Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Freeland and Clinton libraries will each sponsor a talk by Robin Charwood, Ph.D called “Removal of the Elwha River Dams — Why, When and How.” Oak Harbor’s talk by Charwood was 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 20; Coupeville’s is 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 26; Freeland offers the talk at 6 p.m. Monday April 8; and Clinton hosts the speaker at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 11. Other enrichment events include book group discussions in early April at Clinton, Coupeville, Langley and Oak Harbor libraries. Clinton Library will show the film “Nature: Salmon: Running the Gauntlet” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 11 followed by a discussion with Kurt Beardslee of Wild Fish Conservancy Northwest. Murphy said a subplot of the book involves the legendary “Bigfoot” and the libraries hope to schedule an event later in April with Tyler Bounds, field tech for the TV show “Finding Bigfoot.” Throughout March and April, students of the Pacific

Coupeville overcomes 6-1 Nooksack lead for first win
the miserable weather, Coupeville revved up its offense. As the weather got wilder, so did the Pioneer pitching. Two hit batters and two walks helped the Wolves patch together a five-run sixth highlighted by a clutch hit by Curtin. That made it 7-6, Nooksack. Now with the momentum, Coupeville tied it in the seventh. Jake Tumblin walked, and for the Wolves, that is as good as a triple. The speedy Tumblin promptly swiped second and third. But Tumblin’s efforts would have been wasted had Ben Etzell not slapped a single with two outs to send the game into extra innings. While the Wolves clawed back in the game, Josh Bayne, who moved to the mound in the fourth, held Nooksack in check the rest of the way. Smith said, “Josh was phenomenal on the mound, giving up just one earned run over six innings and completely shutting them down offensively.” Kurtis Smith, Etzell and Payne each finished with two hits, Curtin collected three RBI and Tumblin walked three times. Coach Smith said, “I am super proud of these guys for sticking with it and really coming together through a lot of adversity. It is certainly a great sign that they have turned around their mentality and can battle through some pretty tough conditions to pull out the win.” Offense struggles then miscues haunted Coupeville at Lakewood. In the first game, the Wolves collected only two hits in a 6-3 loss, then in the second game let a 5-2 lead slip away with four late unearned runs in the 6-5 loss to the Cougars, one of the Cascade Conference preseason favorites. In game one, Etzell pitched well into the third but “started to get the ball up,” according to coach Smith, when the Cougars collected four
Comeback helps Wolves top Pioneers in baseball
By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
In a baseball game that had a little bit of everything, the best ingredient was a Coupeville win as the Wolves nipped Nooksack Valley 9-8 at Robert Sherman Field Saturday. The win helped ease the loss of a conference double header at Lakewood Friday. The Nooksack Valley game featured extra innings (it went 10), clutch hitting, gutty pitching, missed opportunities, a comeback, big plays and bad plays, all with some extreme weather (high winds and sleet) mixed in. In the bottom of the 10th, Morgan Payne reached on an error, stole second and then moved to third on walks to Aaron Curtin and Drew Chan. With one out Aaron Trumbull came to the plate. He told coach Willie Smith he was cold and wanted to go home; Smith told Trumbull the quickest way to make it happen was to drive in the run. Trumbull lifted a fly to center that barely scored Payne and completed the comeback. It didn’t start well for the Wolves. Coupeville’s starting pitcher didn’t make it out of the first inning and Trumbull took over and battled to the top of the fourth. By then, Nooksack Valley had scraped and dinked, according to Smith, to a 6-1 lead. As if that didn’t make the Wolves feel bad, Mother Nature decided to add to the misery as the winds and sideways rain picked up. Instead of succumbing to the Pioneers and

consecutive hits to score five runs to go up 5-1. Wade Schaef took over on the mound in the fourth and surrendered only one run over three innings. Schaef singled for one of Coupeville’s hits and Korbin Korzan doubled. Lakewood errors helped the Wolves tally two runs. Smith said, “Defensively we were pretty solid, although we did have a misplayed fly ball in the third that would have helped us. Overall, we ran the bases well and I was pleased with the pitching and defense.” The offense picked up in the second game, but the defense struggled. Coupeville led 5-2 in the fifth before giving up the four unearned runs. Payne sparked the offense with two hits, a double and two RBI. Four others rapped hits, led by Drew Chan’s double. Smith said, “Aaron Curtin pitched very well in the loss, giving up just two earned runs while combining with Aaron Trumbull (entered in the fifth) to check their bats to four hits.” Smith said his team did “a lot of good things” but needs to limit opponents from having big innings. “The things we need to fix are very fixable,” Smith said, “and it was very encouraging for us to hit the ball like we did in game two and get the pitching performances we did.” The Wolves host Port Townsend at 1 p.m. Saturday. Next week Coupeville returns to conference action with a series against rival South Whidbey. The Wolves host the Falcons at 4 p.m. Monday and Friday and go to Langley Wednesday.

Friday Harbor, with the aid of a puddle, edged the visiting Coupeville High School soccer team 1-0 Tuesday, March 12, then host Cedarcrest handed the Wolves another loss, 5-0, Tuesday, March 19. In the Friday Harbor match the Wolves were down 1-0 with 10 minutes left in the match when it appeared Nathan Lamb was about to score the equalizer for Coupeville. He beat the Friday Harbor goal keeper and hit the ball with “plenty of power,” according to coach Paul Mendes, and

just as the ball was about to cross the goal line, it was stopped by a mud puddle. “It was one of those nights,” Mendes said. Playing on an extremely muddy field, Coupeville pressured the Wolverines the entire game but couldn’t punch in a goal. The Wolves outshot Friday Harbor 22-12, but it was the Wolverine’s who tallied the only score. Michael Hoeler scored off a goal-mouth scramble in the 22nd minute. Mendes said in spite
of the conditions “we created numerous chances but the ball would not go in for us tonight.” He added, “A hard fought game right to the end. We look forward to playing them again later in the season.” The two square off in Coupeville Wednesday, April 17. Cedarcrest, behind two goals from Kyle Walsh, blanked Coupeville in the Cascade Conference opener. The Wolves (0-2) go to Lakewood (0-1-2) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Coupeville girls tennis team wins first 2 matches Wolves defeat Friday Harbor, Lakewood By Jim Waller Sports Reporter
It was worth the wait. After two rainouts to start the season, the Coupeville tennis team finally hit the courts and defeated host Friday Harbor 5-0 Friday, March 15, and visiting Lakewood 4-1 Monday. For the Friday Harbor match, coach Ken Stange said, “We played...we won... it rained...we bought food...
we ate cheesecake on the float home.” In first singles, Amanda d’Almeida had no problems from start to finish, dumping Maddy Marinkovich 6-0, 6-0. Allie Hanigan stopped Roxanne Bormann 7-5, 6-0 in second singles. The doubles teams also won in straights sets starting with a 6-4, 6-2 win by Holly Craggs and Iris Ryckaert in first doubles. Emily Gallahar and Breanna Koym took second doubles 6-4, 6-2, while Ivy Luvera and McKenzie Bailey won third doubles 6-2, 6-2. When the JV doubles matches were stopped by

Agaisnt Lakewood, all the Wolves made an early statement by pounding their opponents in the first set of each match, according to Stange. He said, “Amanda and Allie were particularly domi-
nant in their opening sets. Ivy and Ana (Luvera) got to play together at No. 3 (doubles) today. They take the sister act to a whole new level with the twins thing.” D’Almeida rolled 6-0, 6-3 in first singles. Stange said, “Amanda is hitting the ball very hard this year, and today she hit hard despite the wind. Amanda has all the tools. She’s extremely fast and anticipates her opponent well, she hits with pace and consistency from both sides, and she has the temperament to persevere in a tough match.” In second singles, Hanigan won 6-1, 7-5. Stange said, “The combi-

Stange said, “I hope that today’s loss will turn out to be more beneficial than a win, so to speak. Players have tendencies toward learning more about their games after a close loss. This may end up bringing them closer together as a duo.” Third doubles was “simple domination” by the Luveras, according to Stange, as the sisters won 6-2, 6-1. “They were solid from the start,” Stange said, “and never gave their opponents a chance.”

nation of wind and oddly hit balls wreaked havoc on both players. Eventually, Allie was able to put it away when it mattered most.” Ryckaert and Craggs captured first doubles 6-3, 6-1. The pair “shifted into high gear part way through the first set and maintained that level in the second set,” Stange said. In second doubles, Koym and Gallaher stumbled after a good start, losing 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(9-7).
