Handbag Consignment Shop owner Kimberly Hoctor is interviewed by Evening Magazine’s Kim Holcomb. Her new store located on Coupeville’ historic Front Street will be featured on the Thrifting Thursday’s segment that is scheduled to air July 25.

TV show to highlight thrifty shop By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A Coupeville handbag shop is getting exposure that she said she hopes will resonate throughout Whidbey’s business community. The Handbag Consignment Shop, historic Front Street’s newest business, will be featured on Evening Magazine’s Thrifting Thursdays segment 7 p.m. Thursday, July 25 on King 5. The broadcast is sure to draw value-conscious shoppers to Whidbey Island. “I’m excited,” said owner Kim Hoctor before her interview with the television crew. “It’s going to be good for Coupeville as well as Whidbey Island.” Evening Magazine’s Kim Holcomb and a cameraman visited with Hoctor and toured her business, talking about her selection of high-end, used handbags. After spending several years selling consigned handbags on the Internet, Hoctor opened her first store about four weeks ago. Since then, the bags have been flying off the shelves. After being open for a little more than a month, she has sold around 150 handbags and she is looking for more people to consign with her store. Before the interview, Hoctor negotiated with a woman from La Conner to sell one of

her handbags, and she pointed out several shoppers in the store also consign their bags with Hoctor. She noted she’s found people as far away as Seattle for her inventory. She said she hopes the Handbag Consignment Shop will become a destination that will be a popular place for shoppers to visit all year long, winter or summer. “I think it will be good exposure for the community,” Hoctor said. The consignment store will soon be the home for workshops slated to begin in the fall that will be a service to her customers. Workshops include how to properly care for a handbag and how to spot a knock off. Evening Magazine’s visit to Coupeville is one of several stories focusing on Whidbey Island that appeared in local and tourism publications. Recent stories that have appeared include an article in the Express, based in the United Kingdom, that featured Coupville residents Jan and Marshal Bronson in a profile about Whidbey Island along with an article in Live Better Magazine about sustainable farming taking place on Whidbey Island. Sherrye Wyatt, marketing and public relations director for Whidbey Camano Islands Tourism, said she has been busy hosting travel writers who have been visiting in recent weeks.

“We want to showcase the region when it’s at its best,” Wyatt said. She said she’s visited with writers from regional travel magazines and family-friendly publications. She said she sometimes searches for travel writers while others approach her to write about Whidbey Island. Writers sometimes visit Whidbey Island in the fall. Wyatt hosted six travel writers in the fall of 2012 during the farm tour. Coupeville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lynda Eccles said the chamber has also advertised in publications such as American Road and Waterside Magazine. She noted area chambers of commerce partnered with Visit Seattle to further increase Whidbey’s visibility in the region. “We all work very hard promoting and encouraging people to visit Whidbey Island,” Eccles said.

Lunch costs may rise for Coupeville students By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Because of a projected deficit in food services, students in the Coupeville School District could be paying more for lunch starting in the fall. The Coupeville School Board will discuss raising the prices students pay for lunch during a board retreat scheduled for Aug. 19. The five-member board approved a contract Monday night with Chartwells to provide lunches within Coupeville schools. The problem, however, is the contract the board approved has a projected $40,000 deficit. Rob Dunn, district manager for Chartwells, cited several reasons for the situation. Food costs have been increasing. As an example, he noted that people are paying more for milk than they were two years ago. He also said recent federal regulations also affected prices. Those regulations include requiring an increase in the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables, which is something that is often thrown away by the students. Superintendent Jim Shank, who took the helm of the school district in June, said it’s difficult to determine how much the school district will spend on food service in the coming year. The contract states the district will pay Chartwells $3.72 per meal served in the school district. About half of the students use the district’s lunch program. Students at Coupeville Elementary School currently pay $2.75 per meal while students at the middle and high school pay $3 per meal. Shank said about half of the students eat lunches prepared at the school and the number of students eligible for free-andreduced lunches stands at approximately See Lunch, page 3

Sick crew member prompts ferry cancellations A crew member who was under the weather prompted several cancelled sailings over the weekend of the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry route. Marta Coursey, spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries, said in an email that a crewman called in sick Saturday morning, leaving the Salish without a large enough crew to make its sailings. That prompted the 8:45 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. sailings from Port Townsend and the 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. sailings from Coupeville to be canceled.

Another crew member called in sick Sunday, which prompted the cancellation of the 10:15 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend and the 11 a.m. sailing from Coupeville. Coursey said the operations center works diligently to find replacement personnel when someone calls in sick, but delays occur if staff can’t find replacements in time for a scheduled sailing. Earlier on both Saturday and Sunday, low tide conditions forced officials to cancel several other scheduled sailings.

Salish crew helps tow disabled vessel to safety The crew of the Salish, the ferry that crosses Admiralty Inlet, helped last Wednesday morning tow two vessels to safety. At approximately 10 a.m., a vessel towing a small boat, which had run out of fuel, maneuvered too close to the Salish’s propeller wash and started taking on water. The 64-car ferry dispatched its rescue boat and towed the two vessels to safety at the shore on the Port

Townsend side of Admiralty Inlet, Washington State Department of Transportation spokeswoman Marta Coursey said. The rescue did delay sailings from the Port Townsend and Coupeville ferry docks. The 10:15 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend and the 11 a.m. sailing from Coupeville were delayed by the rescue, according to information from Washington State Ferries.

Low tide to cancel some August ferry sailings Several sailings on the Port Townsend / Coupeville ferry route will cancelled in August due to low tidal conditions: • Sunday, Aug. 18: 6:30 a.m. from Port Townsend and 7:15 a.m. from Coupeville. • Monday, Aug. 19: 6:30 a.m. from Port Townsend. A 5:40 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend is added. • Tuesday, Aug. 20: 8 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. from Port Townsend and 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., from Coupeville.

• Wednesday, Aug. 21: 6:30 a.m., 8 a.m., 8:45 a.m., 9:30 a.m., from Port Townsend and 5:50 a.m. and 7:20 a.m. from Coupeville. A 5:50 a.m. and 7:20 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend and a 6:35 a.m. sailing from Coupeville is added. • Thursday, Aug. 22: 8:45 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. from Port Townsend and 9:30 a.m., 10:15 a.m. and 11 a.m. from Coupeville. Schedule of cancellations is subject to change.

Lunch: Costs may increase

Cort named interim reserve manager

From page 1

Coupeville resident Lisbeth Cort has been selected to serve as interim manager of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. She will be filling in for the next three months as Reserve Manager Mark Preiss is leaving for a job in Montana. His last day is July 26. “I think we are very fortunate to have (Cort) apply for the job,” said Jan Pickard, a trust board member. “She has great knowledge of the reserve and preservation.” “She has professional experience that makes us feel very confident about making the transition to a permanent hire.” Before opening an interior decorating firm in 2011, Cort had a 30-year nonprofit career, primarily in the field of historic preservation. She served as executive director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and Utah Heritage Foundation as well as assistant director of the Western Regional Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Cort is also a former Trust Board member, has served as communications consultant for Ebey’s Forever Conference, technical editor of the design review guidelines and trainer

36 percent. Other students also bring their own lunch and some high schoolers may opt to walk to Prairie Center, located kitty-corner from the high school, for lunch. Chartwells was the only company to bid for Coupeville’s food service. The Coupeville School Board can review the contract each year for the next four years. The new superintendent admitted parents should have been notified in the spring about any potential increases to lunch prices. This time, however, negotiations between the school district, Chartwells and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, which oversees the lunch programs for schools in the state, took longer. With the new contract signed, students can enjoy a lunch for the 2013-2014 school year. “We’re going to have a good, solid program for students, Shank said. The Coupeville School Board is scheduled to discuss lunch rates during a board retreat in August. That retreat takes place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Aug. 19 at board member Kathleen Anderson’s house located at 352 Marine Dr. in Coupeville.

Lisbeth Cort, a Coupeville resident with a background in non-profit and historic preservation work, has been named interim director of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. for the first series of Historic Preservation Commission workshops last year. Given her background, Cort said she decided to apply for the job because it was a way to help the reserve

through the transition. “They have so many things going on,” Cort said. “It’s basically just to keep the momentum going and not miss a beat.” Her tenure will include assisting

with several field school projects but be largely dominated by helping with the search for a permanent replacement. Her contract ends at the end of October.

Deer, don’t swerve to avoid hitting wildlife Each year more than 1,100 wildlife/vehicle collisions are reported to Washington State Patrol. That number is believed to be much higher because the state Megan Hansen Department of TransSome perspective portation removes an average of 3,500 animals from Washington roads annually. Whidbey Island is specifically cited for having a high number of deer vs. vehicle collisions, specifically on state highways 525 and 20. Since moving here, one of the things I’ve found most enjoyable is the abundance of wildlife. It’s interesting to see traffic on a busy road screech to a halt as a doe and her fawn cross Main Street. There doesn’t seem to be anyplace they won’t venture, including through my apartment complex. Just this past weekend my parents were visiting and we stopped to watch a doe and her fawns — one being the famed white fawn — grazing in a yard along Madrona Way. This prompted a conversation about a recent newspaper article my mother had read about increasing deer populations and what to do if you’re about to hit one. Later that day I became one of the statistics — I struck a deer on the highway near Greenbank Farm. Isn’t that ironic? The incident promises to be forever traumatizing. However, as a result of this minor accident, some valuable knowledge was gained. Heeding the advice my mother gleaned from the article, I didn’t panic and swerve my car, but hit my break and kept my car straight. Swerving would have risked entering the oncoming lane of traffic or veering off the road and potentially hitting a tree, pedestrian or some kind of structure. Swerving a car to avoid wildlife has the potential to cause significant damage and injury to a driver and others. I also learned that, had I swerved off of the road and not actually hit the deer and had an accident, it would have counted under my collision insurance — not my comprehensive — and would translate into a ding on my driving record. That, in turn, could bump up insurance premiums. Keep these bits of information in mind as you’re traveling the island. It might come in handy sometime.

Tractor chase should not be treated lightly Editor, I would like to ask you to give a second thought to your characterization of the recent “tractor chase” story as “quirky.” You also used the words “humorous” and “levity” in describing the situation. And suggested “something upbeat and cheerful” for a soundtrack, if this were a scene in a movie. To my mind, your “perspective” is more than a little bit off. Your reporter, Justin Burnett,

seemed to have maintained a professional, respectful tone in his careful recitation of the events, for which I thank him. But, you’ve got a 24-year-old whose life just took a major wrong turn, and I’ll venture a guess that it was already in serious trouble; a family member who must have been worried sick and frightened and the potential for all manner of damage to lives and properties. Yes, even a tractor was involved. Ask around — multiple law enforcement officers and citizens at risk and more resources of our already strapped law and justice department up in smoke and, of course, guns.

Nope, nothing funny there. You know that imaginary soundtrack in that imaginary movie? You’ll have to come up with something a little less cheerful, because you can bet that in that movie, the kid would have waved around that stupid, stupid .357 magnum replica pellet gun, and the pursuing officers would have unloaded their service revolvers right into his intoxicated, little chest and lived with the horror of it for the rest of their lives. Quirky.

The difference A dino growing at record speeds a day can make

toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Recently, one of my neighbors invited me into her gorgeous and well-tended garden to see a special flower in bloom. I happily rushed over, not just because I knew what a treat it would be to visit her garden, but because her offer had an expiration date. You see, the flower I was going to see was a Tigridia pavonia, whose blooms appear for a single day, opening in the morning, then withering away with the sunset. Also known as tiger flowers or Mexican shell flowers, they’re members of the iris family, thrive in sun or partial shade, have broad leaves arranged in a fan and emerge from small bulbs. Their flowers consist of three large petals and three smaller offset petals in a variety of bright shades of red, orange, yellow and white surrounding a central cup dotted with splotches of contrasting color. The three smaller petals often match the pattern in the cup. It’s sort of like gazing upon a tiny stained glass window on a 12-18-inch stem. And, for me, it gives rise to just about as much awe. Looking upon this tiny gem, one can’t help but think about other flowers that grace our gardens for equally brief spans of time. Of course, put the daylily at the top of the list of One Day Wonders. Though each flower only lasts one day, you’ll get several flowers from a single clump of roots over the course of the summer. If your partner

knows nothing about daylilies, he or she may not even notice they’re entirely different flowers. It’s kind of like replacing your kid’s dead goldfish with a live one while they’re at school, isn’t it? If you want to get more blooms, make sure they’re planted where they’ll get the most sun, don’t make them compete with larger plantings for water, and don’t let those root clumps get too crowded. A reduction in blooms is a sure indication you need to dig ‘em up and divide. Tradescantia, or spiderwort, is a genus native to the Americas that contains plants that are both loved and hated, depending on where you live and what they’re doing. Tradescantia fluminensis was a common house plant in my mother’s time and probably still is. Also known as Wandering Jew, it causes untold misery when allowed to take root out of doors. Because of its high tolerance for shade, it can grow into foot thick mats in forests and smother all competing vegetation. In essence, it is to Florida what yellow archangel is to Western Washington: an escapee that needs to be subdued. Tradescantia virginiana, on the other hand, is a clump-forming perennial that is often allowed to linger in southern gardens where its seeds have blown in from the wild. It’s also been extensively hybridized, despite the fact its lovely flowers can’t bear the touch of the afternoon sun. It’s a good companion to hostas in a shady or partially shady garden. I’m hoping that thinking of these flowers may drive home the importance of paying attention to nature and its many miraculous – and sometimes fleeting — gifts of beauty.

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc We live in a time in which most animals are relatively small. If you think back to your exposure to the Ice Age, perhaps in elementary school, you may remember big mammals like the mastodon and the saber tooth tiger. Less famous but equally big was a deer the size of a modern elk and a beaver the size of a black bear. In sum, our ancestors – the people alive in the Ice Age – were small compared to a number of the animals around them. Dinosaurs are also famously large. How dinosaurs grew to be as large as they did has always been a bit of a mystery. Now a new fossil discovery in Yunnan Province in China is shedding some light on questions of how dinosaurs became as large as they did. The find in China appears to be of bones and

eggshells of nests from a dinosaur called Lufengosaurus. Dino nests were built on the ground, and the specimens appear to have been caught up in a flood during the Jurassic Period nearly 200 million years ago. The little bones of embryonic dinos are jumbled together, mixing specimens of a number of individuals. Lufengosaurus was similar to some of the dinos you may have learned about as a child. It was a long-necked, plant eater. Lufengosaurus and its relatives fall into the group that paleontologists call sauropodomorphs. One of their distinguishing characteristics is their enormous size. Robert Reisz of the University of Toronto is the lead author of a study published in the journal Nature earlier this year about the Lufengosaurus remains. Discussing sauropodomorphs he said, “They were the biggest things that lived in the neighborhood.” Lufengosaurus, for example, was about nine yards long from head to tail, making the animal almost long enough to be awarded a first down on a football field. While not the largest animal that ever lived by a long shot, Lufengosaurus was the biggest animal in what’s

now China at the time that it strode through history. The new Lufengosaurus discovery is a mixture of hundreds of little dino bones representing animals that were developing inside their eggs. The fossils are from animals at different stages of development. Reisz and his colleagues have studied the bones, including 24 femurs. The biggest femurs were twice the size of the smallest ones, indicating the dinos were growing significantly even before the eggs hatched. Inside the femurs was a space for blood vessels and tissues. The new research shows that those spaces were unusually large, useful for high rates of growth. The research team also has beamed especially powerful x-rays at the fossils.

They are hopeful that those results show there are organic remains inside the embryonic bones. I say “hopeful” because it’s still possible any organic remains are a byproduct of contamination after the bones were laid down in the Earth. Lots of good dino discoveries have come out of China in recent years. Stay tuned for more information flowing from fresh finds like the embryonic remains of Lufengosaurus. n Dr. E.

Anti-OLF group files federal suit against Navy Prior to papers filed, Navy suspends OLF practices By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter

A Central Whidbey community group aiming to close Outlying Field Coupeville has taken its fight to federal court. Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe & Peaceful Environment filed a lawsuit Monday. Capt. Mike Nortier, commander of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and Adm. Bill Gortney, Commander Fleet Forces Command, are both named as parties in the suit. In a Thursday statement, the Navy declined to comment on details of the suit, but it did reveal a major change of airfield operations. “It would be inappropriate for the Navy to comment on the specifics of pending litigation.” “Last month, however, the Navy decided to temporarily suspend field carrier landing practice (FCLP) operations at OLF Coupeville until the end of the calendar year.” “This decision will create operational impacts, and is not considered to be sustainable for the long term.

Conducting all FCLPs at Ault Field will interfere with other necessary operations, entailing delays and operational conflicts.” EFFORTS TO engage Navy leaders about jet noise concerns have failed and legal action was the last recourse, said representatives of the citizens group. “The only way we could get them to talk to us was to file a suit,” said Maryon Attwood, a member of the group’s board of directors. In June, the organization’s attorneys, Seattlebased Gendler & Mann, gave the Navy 30 days to begin an in-depth review of operations at the airfield based on National Environmental Protection Act standards. The letter also included a privately funded noise study that claimed aircraft performing touch-and-go maneuvers at the airfield are so loud they represent a health risk. According to Attwood, the Navy did not respond. THOUGH SPECIFICALLY named in the lawsuit, Nortier declined to comment, saying it would be

inappropriate to talk about pending litigation. Congressman Rick Larsen, a Second District Democrat and member of the Armed Forces Committee, also declined to weigh in. “As a member of Congress, Rep. Larsen does not weigh in on pending lawsuits so he will not be commenting,” wrote an aide, in an email to the Whidbey NewsTimes. The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington in Seattle, alleges that the Navy failed to meet requirements outlined in the National Environmental Protection Act. The group is asking a federal judge to intervene and force the commission of an in depth review, known as environmental impact statement. “Basically, we’re trying to get them to do what they should have done in 2005,” Attwood said. THE NAVY completed an environmental assessment in 2005 that examined the base’s planned transition from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler aircrafts. The lawsuit contends the new planes are not only louder than the Navy’s assessment claims, but the jets are flying more frequently than predicted. “(The group) and its membership have been significantly harmed by a significant increase in flight operations at OLF Coupeville,” the complaint said. “Members suffer a variety of health impacts, including a

loss of hearing, loss of sleep and loss of ability to focus or work.” According to the lawsuit, the 2005 study estimated flight operations would fall 20 percent, from 7,682 in 2003 to 6,120 in 2013. The group alleges, however, that operations have exceeded that prediction since 2010, topping out at

During a recent meeting with Navy leadership, Johnson said she learned that airbases with carrier-based squadrons need an outlying field within 50 miles or two parallel runways. “We don’t have two parallel runways,” Johnson said. “The linkage between OLF and NAS Whidbey makes this conversation

“I question the validity of any study commissioned by a special interest group. I grew up under a flight path and I hear just fine.” Jill Johnson, Island County Commissioner

nearly 9,670 last year. Also, the organization’s recently funded noise study asserts that recorded noise levels that are “well above the levels requiring hearing protection and are high enough to potentially result in permanent hearing loss.” The noise study is one of the cornerstones of the lawsuit but not everyone is sold on its conclusions. “I QUESTION the validity of any study commissioned by a special interest group,” Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson, referring to the anti-OLF group’s findings. “I grew up under a flight path and I hear just fine,” she said. Like many who believe the noise complaints are superfluous, Johnson called the lawsuit “unfortunate” and said that it puts the base’s future in jeopardy.

dangerous for the future economy of Whidbey Island,” she said. ISLAND COUNTY Commissioner Helen Price Johnson’s position on the issue is less clear. Asked to comment on the lawsuit during an interview Wednesday, she said it’s a separate matter from her efforts to find immediate solutions. “I want to stay focused on what I think I can do,” Price Johnson said. She and Mayor Nancy Conard recently hosted a community meeting in Coupeville in an attempt to generate mitigation strategies. They contend the airfield fate is not in their hands, but that they can work with Navy leadership to reduce the impact while the matter is being decided. Price Johnson did say, however, that the reality of

flight operations is not what was outlined in the Navy’s 2005 study. “It is different than what was expected,” she said. THE CITIZENS of the Ebey’s Reserve’s lawsuit is seeking a “temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction” that would require the cessation of flight operations at the airfield until the study is completed. Joe Kunzler, an outspoken Navy and OLF supporter, said he favors having an additional study, but called the group’s request “over the top.” “I’m just outraged,” Kunzler said. “That’s not a solution.” Environmental impact studies can take years to perform and pilots can’t go without a place to train for so long, he said. Following the example of the citizen’s group, Kunzler said he launched an online petition to save the airfield. AS FOR the lawsuit, U.S. District Court allows the Navy 60 days to respond. The Navy confirmed in its statement this week that it is already looking at “the need for further NEPA action for Growler operations at NAS Whidbey Island and OLF Coupeville.” It’s unclear how that might affect the existing lawsuit, but the statement did state that the Navy would keep the community informed of it study plans. “The Navy will notify the public if and when any further NEPA action commences.”

Burnett named editor for South Whidbey

By Jessie Stensland Staff Reporter

It may seem like pocket change to a billionaire, but Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer lost money in a Whidbey Island real estate transaction, Forbes magazine reports. The magazine reported that Ballmer and his wife own 10 view properties in the Ledgewood area near Coupeville, but recently sold a 1,144-square-foot beach house for $169,500. All of the properties lie close together, creating a compound on the bluff above the beach, except for the small house, which is separated by another parcel from the Ballmer estate, according to Forbes. It’s no secret that Ballmer owns a vacation home not far from Greenbank Farm. He caused a ruckus a few years ago by landing a helicopter at the farm. Ballmer’s property is close to, but was unaffected by, the massive landslide at Ledgewood earlier this year. The Island County as-

A home near Ledgewood Beach owned by billionaire Steve Ballmer recently sold.w sessor’s database details the properties owned by the Ballmers. Two of the properties have appraised values of more than $1 million. One property, valued at $2.7 million, has an 8,000-square-foot, rusticstyle house with timber and stone siding.

The assessor’s database shows that Ballmer purchased the small, 1965-built beach house for $250,000 in 2007. Forbes reports that Ballmer listed it for $189,500 and sold it for $169,500. The house has three bedrooms, a water-facing deck and access to the community

pool and tennis court. The Ballmers’ primary residence is “a large house at Hunt’s Point, across Lake Washington from Seattle.” Its estimated value is $10 million. Steve Ballmer is listed as No. 19 in the Forbes 400 wealthiest people. His net worth is estimated at $15.2 billion.

NAS Whidbey Island team rescue man in Snoqualmie Pass A 47-year-old man was rescued from rocky terrain near Snoqualmie Pass last Thursday by a search and rescue team from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The rescue took place at about 11:30 p.m. The injured man fractured his right leg while hiking at an elevation of 4,800

foot south of Snoqualmie Pass on Silver Peak Mountain. King County Search and Rescue Deputy Peter Linde, who helped coordinate the rescue with the NAS Whidbey Island team, said Tuesday the injured man was from the Seattle area. He was hiking with a group from work

when the injury occurred. After hoisting the injured man aboard the MH-60S Knighthawk, the SAR crew flew him to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and arrived home safely at 12:45 a.m. Linde said that rescues in Snoqualmie Pass, as well as hiking trails up and down

Trials and celebrations

Whidbey equestrians compete against riders from throughout the region By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

undreds of riders from throughout the western United States and Canada descended upon Whidbey Island last weekend to showcase their equestrian skills. The Whidbey Island Horse Trials, organized by the Whidbey Island Pony Club, took place July 12-14 on pasture near San de Fuca. The Whidbey Island Pony Club is an equestrian group for riders age 25 and younger. Organizers estimate around 260 riders participated in the three-day competition. Riders competed in different events each day of the trials. Friday was devoted to dressage, which demonstrates how well the horse and rider work together. Cross country took place Saturday where horses jumped over obstacles scattered throughout the pony club’s 50-acre facility. Show jumping took place Sunday where riders negotiated a series of jumps in one of two arenas. “The course seems to be riding really well,” said Oak Harbor resident Taryn McKee, 17, after she completed the show jumping portion of the trials. She was riding Mr. Chad, a 17-year-old Australian thoroughbred, during the three-day event. She has participated in the event for seven years. She said she enjoys the friendly atmo-

sphere at a venue that is close to home. Whidbey-based riders took home numerous awards once the competition concluded. In the Open Intermediate division, Maya Black, who was riding Doesn’t Play Fair, placed first while Linday Smith, riding Captain America, placed sixth. McKena Knott, riding Flanagan, placed second in the CT Preliminary division. Kate Peterson, riding Rioga, earned a ninth-place award in the Novice B division and Kallie Bartlett, riding P.Y.T, placed ninth in the Novice C division. Knott, riding Steele Smart, earned ninth place in the Training A division. Emily Daugherty, riding Junoknow, took seventh place and Knott, riding Mr. Haughty, took eighth place in the Beginning Novice A division. Sandi Farris, riding Holy Gallant, took sixth and Patrick Eaton, riding Bijou, took 10th in the Beginning Novice B division. John Filer, riding Rise and Shine, took first in the Beginning Novice C division and Cassandra Pfannenstiel, riding Admiral Sandecker, took fourth in the Beginning Novice D division. The Whidbey Island Horse Trials was just one stop for some of the riders this summer. McKee said she will travel later this month to compete in a similar competition that takes place in Kalispell, Mont.

She was one of 260 riders to participate in the Whidbey Island Horse Trials, which took place July 12-14 near San de Fuca. The event consists of three events that take place over the course of three days. The first day consists of dressage, the second consists of cross country while the third consists of show jumping. The event drew competitors from Washington, Oregon, western Montana, western Idaho, Canada and Alaska to Whidbey Island.

Ollie gets a cart to help get around the farm By Grace Swanson For The Examiner

Vicky Brown, owner of the Little Brown Farm in Freeland, gently splashes water on her little lamb’s body, washing the dirt away from his soft white wool. She carefully pulls “Ollie” from the bathtub and set him on a blue blanket. From his white coat and pointy ears, he looks like any other lamb. A closer look reveals that he is a bit different than his brothers and sisters. “Ollie,” which is short for Olympia, has a condition called dwarfism and is also partially blind. Dwarfism causes stunted growth, meaning Ollie’s body never developed like other lambs. “Ollie,” was born March 16 at a Freeland farm. The Browns said they pondered Ollie’s survival and future. They came to the conclusion that a cart would be their only option. The night Brown and her husband, Tom Brown, first saw their disabled lamb, she said she decided to leave Ollie with his mother and let nature take its course. In the morning, to Brown’s amazement, she discovered Ollie had survived the night. His mother, Lizzie, was still nursing him. This was another surprise, she said, because a mother will usually abandon offspring that are weak or deformed. Luckily for Ollie, his mother continued to care for him. There was no way Ollie would be able to compete with his fully developed, healthy brother. That was when Brown decided to take him away from his mother and bottle-feed him, though Lizzie continues to acknowledge Ollie. Brown researched carts for her lamb. The premier place to get

“Ollie” the lamb sticks out his head for a kiss from Vicky Brown, owner of Little Brown Farm in Freeland, where he was born this spring. The lamb was born with dwarfism and uses a specialized cart to get around. an animal cart was K-9 Carts in Langley. The main purpose of the cart is to help Ollie move and also to offer rehabilitation. Ollie still gets around with the use of wheels. When he’s out of the cart, Ollie uses his hind legs, waddling toward the sound of Brown’s voice. K-9 Carts continues working with Ollie, adjusting his cart as he grows. The cart was a great improvement in his quality of life, she said. None of this would have happened without the help of Renee

Erickson, Brown said. When the Browns couldn’t afford the cart for Ollie, Erickson, who owns The Whale Wins and The Walrus and The Carpenter in Seattle, and her business partner stepped in and took care of the expense. K-9 Carts also offered the Browns substantial discounts and adjustments. Dwarfism is an uncommon condition found in sheep. Brown has spoken with farmers with more than 30 years of shepherding experience that never saw a case like Ollie’s. Other than rolling to get from

pasture to pasture, Ollie behaves like a normal sheep. Brown said sheep are “food motivated” and Ollie isn’t any different. With his reduced sight, Ollie has developed enhanced hearing. He listens a lot and will move toward voices. Even when the Browns are out in the field, Ollie finds them by following their voices. “I think he might be part bat,” Brown said. Ollie is the Little Brown Farm’s mascot. Brown said every farm she has visited has one animal that

beat the odds. Every time, that farm animal is named “Lucky.” Ollie is their version of Lucky. In Brown’s opinion, helping Ollie was the right thing to do. “There’s no reason he didn’t deserve it [to live],” Brown said. Since Ollie isn’t suffering and enjoys a decent quality of life, Brown said it is her responsibility to afford him the best help she can. The goal for Ollie is to be able to maneuver his cart well enough to live in the pasture with the other sheep and goats. With time, the Browns said they hope he can.

Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR, Par ts 1500-1508) implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA, the Department of the Navy gives notice that they have prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with a proposal (proposed action) to dredge a 3.9-acre access channel, replace a deteriorating finger pier with a breakwater, and establish a sheet pile wall at the existing fuel pier in Crescent Harbor at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey I s l a n d ’s S e a p l a n e Base. The purpose of the proposed action is to both continue and improve safe, reliable access to the existing Seaplane Base fuel pier. The proposed action is needed to protect fuel transfer operations at the fuel pier during severe weather, improve access to the fuel pier dur ing low tides, and enable fuel pier access for vessels with drafts of up to 16 feet. The Draft EA describes the proposed action and its purpose and need and analyzes environmental effects of action alternatives on air quality, noise, water resources, marine sediments, biological resources, cultural resources, hazardous materials and wastes, and public health and safety. The Draft EA is available electronically at the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest website at: http://goo.gl/t4JKw.

the top for seniors-to-be Etzell, Smith, Trumbull and Morgan Payne began this summer as they prepared for their final high school season. Curtin will be a junior and Cole Payne a sophomore. Etzell said, “The reason I play summer baseball is to further my abilities and compete at a high level.” The others echoed those comments and added they wanted to improve their weaknesses. Morgan Payne said, “My main goal is to get better at the plate with two strikes,” while Trumbull said, “My main focus is my hitting.” Cole Payne pointed out that by competing in the summer the six are gaining an advantage by “playing more than most of the other (high school) players.” Morgan Payne said that summer ball provides “more playing time and more at bats, which improves me that much more.” For Curtin, Trumbull, Smith and the Paynes, playing for South Whidbey, their biggest high school rival, set up an odd dynamic.

Going in, Trumbull said he thought the South Whidbey players would be “arrogant or cocky around us.” Cole Payne said, “Before I played with them I didn’t know most of them and didn’t like them.” Those perceptions have changed. Trumbull said, “We play around like we’ve known each other for years. We also work really well together.” Now that the Coupeville players know their South Whidbey rivals better, it will only make the rivalry more interesting, they said. Trumbull said the teams will be “more competitive because we know each other and share inside jokes.” He added, “It will definitely make the games more fun.” Morgan Payne said, “It will be more interesting because they know stuff about

Six Coupeville High School baseball players chose to continue to play this summer to hone their skills and help push the Wolves to the top of the Cascade Conference and beyond. Aaron Curtin, Aaron Trumbull, Kurtis Smith and the Payne brothers, Morgan and Cole, play for the South Whidbey Junior Legion team. Ben Etzell competes for the 18U Skagit Sox. Most of the athletes played a leading role when Coupeville captured the state Junior Baseball (13 and 14 year old) championship in the summer of 2010. They would like to see Coupeville High School have the same success. Coming off the Junior title, a handful of players found themselves in the starting lineup for Coupeville High School as freshmen. Though talented for their age, the group was battling teams laden with upperclassmen and the results were predictable: few wins. Coupeville won only two varsity games

us and we know things about them.” Etzell’s path has been different; he elected to play a division up from Junior Legion. The Sox include older (some players completed their freshman college season in the spring) and more talented players. Etzell said he expects to play college baseball and playing for the Sox helps prepare him for that step. He likes summer baseball because it is “guaranteed that every single kid wants to be out there.” He added, “I absolutely love playing for the Sox. It’s a great team which is coached very well. Every single kid on the team wants to win and they’re all fun to be around. I have learned plenty from the older guys, too; they’re great teachers and leaders. It has been a huge step forward in my visions of playing college

ball.” At first he was concerned: “I was worried about how I would do because I knew I would be playing against the best high school players in the state as well as many college baseball players.” Not a problem. Etzell, the Sox lead off hitter, is batting over .300. The biggest drawback, he said, was not being able to play with his high school teammates. He said the six Wolves playing summer baseball will pay dividends next high school season, but “we can’t just stop after summer.” “The offseason is going to be very important because our potential is out of the building,” he said. “Everyone on the team is going to need to be committed to winning from September to June.”
