Fewer students could cost district

VOL. 19, NO. 6

Serving community

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

It looks like fewer students are attending Coupeville schools this year. An enrollment count shows the equivalent of 886 full-time students are in Coupeville’s classrooms. That amount is 24 fewer full-time equivalent students then the 910 students school officials had projected for the Central Whidbey-based school district. “If that trend holds, it will mean decreased revenue,” Coupeville School District Superintendent Jim Shank said after Monday’s Coupeville School Board meeting. He said he hopes more students will enroll this week. State funding is based on enrollment and the Coupeville School District receives approximately $5,200 per student. If the enrollment numbers remain the same, the school district could see a reduction in state revenue of approximately $124,800. School officials during the summer break approved a $10.3 million budget for the 2013-2014 school year. The enrollment count comes after teachers have been locked into their contracts for the school year. As to what caused the enrollment decline, Shank discovered that, over the summer, 28 students had transferred to schools outside of Washington state. He said he didn’t say yet how officials will react to the less-than-expected enrollment numbers. The Coupeville School District has been dealing with declining enrollment in recent years. During the last school year, enrollment came in seven full-time-equivalent students less than projected. “I would like to say we’re bottoming out, but I can’t,” Shank said during the meeting about the trend of declining enrollment. For the 2011-2012 school year, Coupeville School District officials budgeted 881 FTE, but the average annual FTE was 955.76. For the 2012-2013 school year, the budgeted number was 923.5 FTE, but the actual number was 915.7 FTE. Classes for most of the students started Sept. 3. “I thought it was a great start,” Shank said noting the week was capped off by the Wolves victory in football Friday night against Bellevue Christian.

Navy to study impacts of jet noise By Janis Reid Staff reporter

The Navy said last week it will conduct an Environmental Impact Statement for Outlying Field Coupeville and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station on North Whidbey. While the Navy states that EIS plans have been in the works for some time, members of a Coupeville-based citizen group claim the decision is the result of a federal lawsuit they filed in July against the Navy. The group, Citizen’s of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment, or COER, hoped the lawsuit would compel the Navy to suspend training operations at OLF and spur a new environmental impact study. The Navy suspended operations at OLF in June though the end of 2013. Though the demands of the lawsuit have apparently been met by the Navy, the group’s attorney, David Mann, said they doesn’t intend to dismiss their lawsuit just yet.

Mann expressed concerns with some of the language in the Navy’s notice of intent, which he suspects indicate that they will be using the most current noise levels as the baseline from which they will do their study. “What they looked at in 2005 was wrong,” Mann said. “They have to address the existing and additional noise impacts. We are going to wait until we see the scope of what the Navy’s going to do.” Nevertheless, Mann said, “members of COER are of course ecstatic that the Navy has finally conceded that a complete environmental analysis is necessary. It is unfortunate that

it required that we file federal litigation to get the Navy’s attention, but we are pleased that we provided the necessary catalyst for action.” Ted Brown, the Navy’s Installations and Environmental public affairs officer, said the EIS is part of ongoing Department of Defense strategies and that conducting an EIS is routine when new squadrons are introduced to a Navy base. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing EA-18G Growler airfield operations at

Group forms to save historic Coupeville house By Megan Hansen Editor

In a town filled with historic treasures, some are out for the world to see while others are hidden in plain sight. Amongst the hustle and bustle of downtown Coupeville, lies a hidden gem within the historical community. The Haller House, located on the of corner North Main and Front streets, hides behind tall trees and overgrown shrubbery. It has been uninhabited since 2006 and still maintains most of its historic integrity. Put on the market in 2012, a group of Whidbey history lovers formed a group with hopes of purchasing the home and turning it into a

Probate

public museum. Historic Whidbey is planning an open house to help raise money for the purchase. The open house will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 in the lot between the home and Cook’s Corner Park. The open house will include small tours inside parts of the house, informational displays and Mike Vouri of San Juan Island National Historical Park will speak on the colorful military history in the 1850s, from the Treaty Era through the Pig War and Civil War – a little-known history in which Granville Haller played a significant role. Lynn Hyde, who works for Ebey’s Reserve, took on the project outside of her 9 to 5 job. With the help of for-

mer reserve historic architect Annie Matsov, Hyde and Matsov nominated and successfully had the house named to a list of Most Endangered Properties in Washington state. Working with the current homeowner, the group has halted the house from going back on the market until Nov. 1. “We’re hoping we can raise enough to establish a lease-to-own,” Hyde said. Hyde said they hope to raise between $45,000$50,000 by November. The house was previously on the market for $475,000, but the group and homeowner have not established a sale price. The group has brought in historic architects and historic landscapers to assess the property’s historic standing.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington. The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing EA-18G Growler airfield operations at NAS Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and Outlying Landing Field (OLF) Coupeville, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). In 2005 and 2012, the Navy prepared environmental analyses pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the replacement of the EA-6B Prowler aircraft with the newer EA-18G Growler aircraft at NAS Whidbey Island. The scoping process will be used to identify community concerns and local issues to be addressed in the EIS. Three open house information sessions will be held between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the following dates: • Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at Coupeville High School (Commons Area), 501 South Main Street, Coupeville, Washington 98239; • Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at Oak Harbor High School (Student Union Building), 1 Wildcat Way, Oak Harbor, Washington 98277; and • Thursday, December 5, 2013 at Anacortes Middle School (Cafeteria), 2202 M Avenue, Anacortes, Washington 98221. The meetings will be an open house format with informational displays and materials available for public review. There will be no formal presentations. Navy staff will be present to answer general questions on the action and the EIS process. To be included on the Navy’s mailing list for the EIS (or to receive a CD copy of the Draft EIS), submit an electronic request through the project email address, WhidbeyEIS@navy.mil or a written request to: EA-18G EIS Project Manager (Code EV21/SS); Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508.

An undated photo shows Colonel Granville O. Haller outside his Coupeville home. He left the area in 1879 and his house still stands. “We don’t have any way of knowing what it’s going to cost (to preserve),” Hyde said. Built in the 1866, the group hopes to restore the house to its original appearance. The group also has the sponsorship of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, enabling them to launch their capital campaign. Any funds will be filtered through the trust. Colonel Granville O. Haller himself was a significant figure in the Euro-American settlement of the Pacific Northwest. In a town of sea captains and farmers, his story is

unique in Coupeville’s early chronicles. Sent to the Pacific Northwest by the U.S. Army during Washington’s treaty period in the 1850s, he later was a player in in the “Pig War” (the last boundary dispute with Great Britain on the West Coast) and the Civil War, where he served with the Union Army, most notably in the battle of Gettysburg. After the Civil War, Haller returned to the Washington Territory and, after buying a parcel of land from Capt. Thomas Coupe, he opened one of the earliest mercantile establishments on Front Street. As Island County Trea-

surer and founder of Masonic Temple #15, Haller was an active participant in the early growth of Coupeville. Over 150 years, different generations have lived in the home. It has a single toilet and a kitchen sink. It also has limited electrical. “The idea is to turn it into a museum focusing on the elements of the region when Haller was living here,” Hyde said. The focus of the proposed museum is not represented in any other museums in the area, she said. For more information go to www.historicwhidbey.org

Store collects new owner

Transit looks at projects By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A new face is behind the counter of a Coupeville boutique. Oak Harbor resident Cheryl Nunn took over Collections Boutique last month from previous owner Rita Hart, who still works at the popular shop on a part-time basis. Nunn, who enjoyed a 25-year career as an interior design consultant, had been working at a gift shop in Coupeville when she found the opening at Collections. “I found I loved Coupeville,” Nunn said. Collections Boutique operates out of a cedar shake building located in the heart of historic downtown Coupeville across the street from Mariners Cove and next to the Coupeville Wharf entryway. The popular women’s boutique feature clothes, jewelry, accessories such as scarves hats and gloves, and baby clothes. She intends to keep the

Collections Boutique operates out of a building owned by the Port of Coupeville. The three-member board of commissioners in August

approved transferring the lease of the space to Nunn. Collections is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 360-678-2100 or meal at collectionsboutique@ outlook.com

With the construction of its new headquarters nearly complete, Island Transit leaders are looking for future projects. The Island Transit board approved its six-year capital plan, which outlines the routes and park-andride lots that officials hope to add during the coming years. Even though the projects are on transit officials’ radar, there is one crucial element missing. “We don’t have the money to add any of those routes,” Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose said. She added the agency doesn’t yet have the money to add park and ride lots either. Even though there isn’t cash available, its important for transit officials to keep a list of potential projects. Then they can qualify for grants if they come available. The updated list

comes as Island Transit’s new headquarters nears completion. Staff recently moved in to a new building on the campus located on Highway 20 near Outlying Field. The expansion project, which included a new administration and operations center along with a larger maintenance bay, cost $22.4 million and $17.9 million of that came from a federal grant. The project list includes several additional routes for the Langley area — the Langley Circular ($677,000), Langley/Clinton via Wilkinson Road ($697,000), and Central Langley to Freeland via Goss Lake ($718,000). Other potential new routes are extending Route 3 to Monkey Hill Road via Jones road ($522,000), Houston Road to Freeland ($740,000), and North Oak Harbor Bay ($381,000). Rose said Island Transit has purchased land for two additional park and ride lots, but officials are looking for funding to pay for them.

Those future commuter lots are located at the intersection of Highway 525 and Race Road and near the intersection of Highway 525 and Bush Point Road. The six-year capital improvement plan has a couple of items that Rose described as “pie-in-thesky” projects. The first is a tunnel, called the Kinneth Underpass, which would allow pedestrians and hikers a safe passage across the highway near Island Transit’s campus south of Coupeville. That project is estimated to cost $1.5 million. Rose said Island Transit tried to get a grant to fund the project, but the agency didn’t get the award. Another project is the solar skyway shuttle, which she said would be a demonstration project for a solar powered skyway shuttle, that would be a demonstration of solar powered vehicles in the form of a pod car. She said no money has been spent on such a project.

OLF is best location for training, pictures Editor, I want to thank Congressman Rick Larsen for acknowledging the Oak Harbor Navy League is willing to “stand up and fight for NAS Whidbey Island” and the congressman stands “shoulder to shoulder” with us “fighting for the soldiers and veterans today.” Considering I ride buses for hours to be an Oak Harbor Navy Leaguer and photograph Outlying Field Coupeville flight ops to help fulfill my dream to overcome disability to help our superheroes in the U.S. Navy, thank you Congressman Larsen. One way I’ve attempted to help is via

my “Save OLF Coupeville” petition that earned over 1,500 signatures and also supported an Environmental Impact Statement to propagate the facts and find mitigation strategies for the high volume so many, including I, experience. I hope for great attendance at the December scoping meetings on the EIS to make our patriotism felt. Certainly OLF supporters speak up to prevent a naval aviator’s child learning the news their parent is dead because their parent couldn’t train at OLF Coupeville or its replacement. I also recently posted to Scribd an Island County government public record stating the need for OLF Coupeville: “A question was asked regarding the viability of an alternative OLF in a more remote location such as Moses Lakes

or Forks. Admiral Rich stated that the required distance from a main field is 50 nautical miles due to fuel and weather constraints — during FCLP, aircraft much complete their landings at a relative low weight (low fuel status) in order to stay within arresting weight parameters.” Although I support a Whidbey Island Naval Air Station third runway under the prerequisite it is found in the EIS to be the most cost-effective alternative, likely OLF Coupeville provides the best training venue for NAS Whidbey Island and respectfully for aviation photography tourism as well.

Using tough love to gardening toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel

As I’m typing this, a thunder storm is shaking the island. Heavy rain and lowslung grey skies have dominated the morning and may well fill the afternoon and evening hours. It’s dark and damp and you know what? That’s OK by me. Despite what many would consider a dreary downpour, I’m happy for a respite from dry weather and eager for Mother Nature to take over some of the work. Sure, my vegetable garden loved the heat and sunshine this summer. I’ve gotten more ripe tomatoes in a single week than I’ve ever gotten in an entire season before. Plus, my bean poles are so heavy with vines and fruit I’ve resorted to running twine between them to bear the

lush weight of my kudzu-like scarlet runners. The little square of corn I planted to see if my corngrowing jinx had abated has tassels and silk and there are a few more weeks of hope in my heart for an outcome of at least one solid ear to grace the dinner table. Of course, none of this could have happened if I hadn’t set up a sprinkler to give my veggies a good drink every other day or so. (Yes, even the tomatoes get watered from over-head at my house, but that’s a subject for another time.) My flower beds, on the other hand, didn’t fare as well during this dry summer. Except for a few new plantings and some herbs and flowers in pots, I didn’t water most of my beds as frequently as my veggie patch, and some I didn’t water at all. That’s because I consider a vegetable garden an investment with a potentially high payoff, meaning less money spent at the grocery store, while decorative flower beds, in my mind, need to learn to

own, by golly, because you have better things to do than hover over it day and night with a watering can, a pair of pruning shears and a jug of Sluggo. I call it tough love gardening. I want to amble amongst my flowers and relax, not obsess. The lawn will green up again without my help, the rhodie leaves will eventually uncurl. And if I spend one afternoon this winter thinning my crocosmia, they’ll be good to go for several more dry summers. That’s what works for me. In the end, it doesn’t matter what works for me, but what works for you. Just like every family is different, so are gardens – and gardeners. If you love what you do, then just keep on doing it.

Coupeville wallops Bellevue Christian in opener By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

The breakout season started with a shutout. Coupeville High School football coach Tony Maggio said several weeks ago this should be a breakout season for his club. The Wolves backed up that statement with a 32-0 thumping of Bellevue Christian Sept. 6, at Mickey Clark Field. “The boys had a pretty good game,” Maggio said. Pretty good, indeed. Coupeville received strong play along many fronts and featured a stingy defense. “I don’t know the last time Coupeville had a shutout,” Maggio said. The big “D” was led by Big Nick. Nick Streubel, the Wolves’ 280-pound tackle, terrorized Bellevue Christian with three sacks, three tackles for losses, seven solo tackles and five assists. “He was dominant,” Maggio said. Maggio added that Streubel and the Wolves’ rush forced the Vikings to onestep drops in their passing game because they couldn’t hold back the Coupeville surge. Maggio called Jarrod Dickson’s game at outside

Wade Schaef had another wiped out by a penalty. Jake Tumblin, Josh Bayne and Carson Risner were also among the leaders in tackles. “Our defense was great,” Maggio said. “The kids did everything they were taught.” Offensively, it took awhile for the Wolves to get over first-game nerves and to figure out how to handle BC lineman Tate Razor and the Viking linebackers.

“We had a problem moving the ball in the first quarter,” Maggio said. “We had problems blocking Razor and picking up their linebackers.” Once they got Razor and the BC defense under control and Coupeville quarterback Gunnar Langvold got over early jitters, it was all Wolves. Maggio said Langvold was “a little hyped up” and “a little bit off” in the beginning. After settling in, Langvold threw for two scores and ran for another. Langvold’s first TD toss was a 20-yarder to Schaef for

the game’s first score. Bayne kicked the extra point. Brett Arnold, who led CHS runners with 56 yards on 11 carries, scored on a four-yard run later in the second quarter. The PAT failed and Coupeville went into the locker room up 13-0. Langvold scored on a quarterback sneak in the third quarter; the 2-point PAT failed. Two big plays finished the scoring. In the fourth quarter, Bayne returned a punt 54 yards to put the game out of reach, and then Anthony

Bergeron put an exclamation point on the win with a 70-yard TD catch from Langvold.

Joel Walstad kicked the PAT after Bayne’s score. Langvold overcame the slow start and three dropped passes to finish 6-for-17 for 155 yards. Bayne caught three of the passes for 56 yards. Langvold also rushed four times for 37 yards, and Bayne carried the ball three times for 35 yards. Tumblin, Coupeville’s leading rusher last year, finished with 15 yards on three carries in limited action because of a hamstring injury.

Coupeville increases athletic admission fees

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Spectators looking to enjoy a game in Coupeville will be paying a bit more at the gate. The Coupeville School Board Monday night approved increasing the admission fees for Coupeville athletic events. Following the decision, admission fees are increasing by $1 and the 10-event ticket is increasing by $8. To attend Coupeville games, adults will pay $6; students in grades six-12 will pay $6; Visiting students in grades 6-12 will pay $3; children in grades kindergarten-five will pay three dollars and students at the Coupeville Middle School and High School with an ASB card, along with preschool children accompanied by an adult, will gain

free admission. Families with one parent and four children or two parents and two children will pay $15 while a 10-event ticket will cost $40. “I understand this is a little bit last minute,” superintendent Jim Shank said during Monday’s Coupeville School Board meeting. The school year has already started and the Coupeville High School football team has already played its first home game. The increase stems from a recommendation made by the Cascade Conference. With the admission fee increase, the Coupeville School District will be in line with other schools in the conference; which the district hasn’t been for some time, Shank said. Coupeville Middle and High School Principal Shel-

don Rosenkrance added that the Cascade Conference’s admission fees hadn’t been in line with other conferences either. School board member Don Sherman questioned how the district’s family rates compare with other districts in the conference. Rosenkrance said family rates are a little different at each school because of how it accounts for elementary school students. The increase in tickets isn’t the only increase Coupeville families are seeing. The Coupeville School Board last month increased lunch fees for students. The board approved a 25cent increase for hot lunches offered in schools. Elementary school students pay $3 for lunch, middle and high school students pay $3.25 cents and adults

STUDY: Navy issues Notice of Intent for Environmental Impact Study From page 1 NAS Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and OLF, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons and the addition of three aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). Unlike the additional of three Growlers assigned to the Fleet Replacement Squadron, the two expeditionary VAQ squadrons are land-based squadrons, and

therefore are not required to complete touch-and-go training. Three open houses are scheduled as follows: 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at Coupeville High School; 4-8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4 at Oak Harbor High School and 4-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at Anacortes Middle School. “The scoping process will be used to identify community concerns and local issues to be addressed in the EIS,” the notice states. “Federal

agencies, state agencies, local agencies, Native American indian tribes and nations, the public and interested persons are encouraged to provide comments to the Department of the Navy to identify specific issues or topics of environmental concern that the commenter believes the DON should consider.” The Department of the Navy said environmental analyses were completed in 2005 and 2012 when the base was looking at replacing the EA-6B Prowler with the new

Growler, and that the studies are part of an ongoing effort to evaluate and expand the base. The Navy also intends to look at constructing and renovating facilities at Ault Field over a three-year period and station an additional 860 personnel and their families. Ken Pickard, president of the Coupeville citizens group, said in a prepared statement that things appear to be “going well” and that both the suspension of operations at OLF and the EIS

are a product of the group’s lawsuit. “Interestingly, immediately after getting sued the Navy suspended all flights at OLF Coupeville through the end of 2013,” Pickard said. “So, they have not flown here since May and what a blessing it has been, our homes are habitable, our gardens able to be visited and worked in and all are so thankful to have this break and enjoy our homes and national park here.” The group has retained aviation attorney Barbara Li-

chman to develop “additional actions we might be able to take against the Navy and Island County …” Pickard said the group is also on the verge of retaining an airport safety engineering firm to do “a crash/risk analysis on OLF due to hundreds of homes being located in the crash zones at either end of the OLF runway. Their preliminary take is … it is very dangerous. Shame on the Navy for risking our health and lives while claiming to protect us.”
