Town sends comments on Navy EIS By Megan Hansen Editor

Coupeville Town Council is asking the Navy to address concerns of health and financial risks to the town and residents when conducting its environmental impact study on jet noise at Outlying Field. In a letter, approved and sent last week, the council is asking the Navy to address impacts on sleep patterns, hearing and mental health of residents, hospital patients, senior citizens and visitors. The current established flight pattern for OLF crosses over a portion of the northeast corner of town limits, the letter states. Coupeville is also home to Whidbey General Hospital and relies heavily on tourism revenue. The council also requests the Navy address impacts on school children, tourism, historic buildings, housing values and safety in regard to crash zones. Councilman Bob Clay said he has been contacted by various people in town under the impression that the town has done nothing concerning issues with Outlying Field. This is not the case, he said, noting Mayor Nancy Conard was instrumental last year in holding a town hall meeting at Coupeville Recreation Hall to discuss public concerns. He also noted town officials have attended scoping sessions and meet with base officials. “What we haven’t done is to take a vote,” Clay said, referring to how other municipalities have taken a public stance in support of or against the Navy and Outlying Field. “All it does is foster one side against the other,” Clay said. “We need to work together for a solution.” Town officials also asked in the letter that if the Navy looks at mitigating some of these issues, the town be included in the process. Council requests being involved in any revisions to land use zoning, building code requirements, retrofitting and property acquisition. Newly appointed councilwoman Pat Powell noted during the discussion she wants to make sure any zoning changes don’t financially hurt residents and potential financial loss be compensated.

Blue wave crashes into Coupeville By Sara Hansen Staff Reporter

Coupeville residents could hear the Blue Wave approaching before they could see it. More than 80 Seahawks fans marched down Main Street on Sunday, Jan. 5 to meet at the Coupeville Wharf, posing for a photo on the pedestrian bridge over Highway 20, and culminating in a photo at the wharf. By the time the band of fans reached the wharf, they’d grown to approximately 150 people. Teresa Besaw and Kory Dyer were the organizers behind the 12th Man Wharf event, as well as a Deception Pass 12th Man Pass last weekend. Besaw said she came up with the idea for the rally, and told Dyer because he makes her ideas come to life. “Kory is a true planner,” Besaw said. “I don’t think about logistics.” The Seahawks had a bye during the first playoff weekend and will play the New Orleans Saints at 1:35 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11.

Auditors find fault in Island Transit vehicle, fuel use By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

For the second time, state auditors question how Island Transit monitors staff use of take-home vehicles and fuel cards. According to an accountability audit report issued Dec. 30 by the Washington State Auditor’s Office, a finding was issued stating Island Transit officials “did not adequately monitor take home vehicles and fuel card use to ensure they are only used for official purposes.” Island Transit has 14 vehicles and fuel use cards designated for take-home. Island Transit previously implemented a policy stating vehicles and cards can only be used for official purposes. According to the report, however, auditors found: • Transit didn’t adequately monitor vehicle and fuel use. Employees are required to report mileage on a weekly basis, but 11 of the 12 home vehicles tested didn’t report mileage every week. • Of the mileage that was reported, fuel use and purchases were not reconciled to miles logged on vehicles to determine if the assigned vehicle is used only for official business. • Employees with assigned vehicles didn’t document where they were driving the vehicle and for what purpose. • Six vehicles were not marked as transit assets “for official use” as required by state law.

An employee walks out of Island Transit’s headquarters. State auditors gave the Whidbeybased transit system several findings related to vehicle use and fuel consumption. “Without adequate monitoring of vehicle and fuel use, (Island) Transit cannot ensure that assigned take home vehicles are used only for official purposes. As a result, assigned vehicles could be used for activities not related to Transit business,” the report states. Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose said she was caught off guard by the audit findings. “I was kind of surprised,” she said. Island Transit had implemented policies that the auditors requested from the prior audit, Rose said. “We thought we were moving along well.” Several Island Transit

employees take vehicles home because it’s effective to respond to service needs. Staff live in all parts of the island. For example, during times of severe weather, she said, staff who need to inspect road conditions can respond faster from their homes. Auditors issued Island Transit a similar finding in 2011, and said in the latest report they consider the issue unresolved. Island Transit officials responded in the accountability report to the auditor’s finding. According to the Island Transit response, officials implemented a new fueling system including data collection that allows staff to track

fuel use on each vehicle. Vehicles stationed on Whidbey Island will be fueled at Island Transit’s campus near Outlying Field. Specific staff will be allowed to fuel vehicles at the headquarters. Reports will outline which employee fueled a vehicle and the mileage made since the last refueling, which will allow staff to monitor fuel use, according Island Transit’s response. Transit officials will implement a procedure where people with “take-home vehicles” provide an end-of-shift report describing vehicle use and the number of miles traveled. That information will be reviewed for reasonability

and reconciled with fuel use to ensure vehicles are used for official business, according to the report. Rose added that a new fuel system will come online in 2014 at Island Transit’s new headquarters, which will provide a better way for staff to monitor fuel use. As for the marking of vehicles, Island Transit said it uses some vehicles for investigative purposes. It aids local law enforcement in investigating potential illegal activity or vandalism at Island Transit facilities. Transit officials are looking to the legislature to address the marking of transit vehicles. “We feel this is an issue that needs to be clarified in the RCW,” Rose said in an interview last week. During the 2011 audit, auditors also found that transit didn’t follow bid policies and didn’t have policies related to the approval and monitoring of change orders. Since the findings were issued, auditors noted that Island Transit had one public works project totaling $22 million. Auditors reviewed the project and found officials complied with procurement and bid law as well as with prevailing wage requirements. The Washington State Auditor’s Office examined Island Transit’s records from Jan. 1, 2011 through Dec. 31, 2012. Auditors examined areas that represented the high-

Not picking sides on OLF issue wise for town council

Megan Hansen Some perspective

During a special meeting of Coupeville Town Council last week, Councilman Bob Clay expressed his frustration at the public’s perception of how the town is handling issues surrounding jet noise. The purpose of the special meeting was to approve a statement from the council for submission to the Navy’s environmental impact study of jet noise at

Outlying Field. Despite the fact a town meeting was held at the Coupeville Rec Hall on jet noise, and that the town has remained involved in the process, Clay said the perception remains that the town has done nothing to address the matter. What council has not done, he said, is taken a public stance on the noise issue and taken a side. During 2013, the Oak Harbor City Council and Mayor Scott Dudley united in voicing its support of the Navy presence on Whidbey Island, even donning “I Love Jet Noise” T-shirts to drive the point home. Oak Harbor’s identity is intertwined with and virtually inextricable from the Navy, much as Coupeville is connected to Ebey’s Prairie. Picking a side in the noise fight likely would not serve Coupeville well, nor lead to any productive discussion or compromise. As individuals, council members certainly have their opinions. As a council, the focus should be on working to help mitigate the issue by collecting public input and continuing to facilitate a solution. By contributing comments to the Navy’s environmental impact study, the Coupeville Town Council has an opportunity to relay residents’ comments and concerns based on conversations with constituents. Town of Coupeville does have a stake in this controversy and is impacted by the issue, but drawing a line in the sand isn’t the answer. Meanwhile, the appropriate thing for town council to do is be an active part of the discussion without pointing fingers. — Megan Hansen is editor of The Whidbey Examiner.

Thanks for making museum flourish Editor, Every time one of us walks or drives by the beautiful garden in front of the Island County Museum, please take the time to tip your hat, salute or just think happy thoughts about our own Coupeville Garden Club. In late fall of 2013, John Bachert and his flock of gardeners descended on our well-established (aka overgrown) drought-tolerant garden. Tools and wheelbarrows in hand, they trimmed, pruned, pulled weeds, pressure washed our sidewalks — and hauled away many truckloads of material to “compost central.”

Then our friends from Malliard’s Landing in Oak Harbor generously donated three yards of mulch, another great volunteer added two more, plus the delivery charges — and then garden club members covered all the beds with a nice winter coat. Denman and Nancy Moody also spent many hours last summer, helping keep our garden looking great, but all agree the addition of many extra hands were surely welcomed. How fortunate we are to have so many giving folks in our midst, who are always ready to lend a hand, and who take such great pride in their community. Thanks to you all!

Public should have say in police service Editor, Right-on!

OBITUARY

Betsy Lue Summers Betsy Summers of Coupeville died peacefully with her husband and children at her side on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013, four days shy of her 62nd wedding anniversary with her kind and caring husband F.L. (Von) Summers. Devoted to her family, Betsy’s favorite times were in the company of her extended family, and the more at once, the merrier. She was a master storyteller and would read, with distinct character voices, classic children’s stories to three young generations; her children, her grandchildren, and most recently to her great grandchildren. Literature, the love of words and story-telling would be a hallmark of her life. Betsy Lue Holmes was born on Aug. 22, 1929 in Wheaton, Ill. to parents Harold and Evelyn Holmes.

the family TV when a tube burnt out and decided that nightly stories read to all four children would be the backbone of family entertainment. As the children grew, she would have them select their favorite books for her to read. She instilled a love of theater, music and literature in all of her children. With her children in college, Betsy decided to pursue her love of story telling by earning a Master’s Degree in Values from the San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1985. Her thesis was “The Use of Stories and Story Telling in the Pediatric Hospital Setting.” She put that experience to work by telling stories to young patients at Portland’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and the Shriners Hospital for Children. With their children settled with families of their own, Betsy and Von decided to move to Whidbey Island for their retirement, making their new home a gathering place for family and friends. She also made the island her home. A woman of strong faith, she became an active member of the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, became a counselor with the Stephen Ministries and

She was the youngest of three daughters. Raised in a home full of books, Betsy would graduate from Colorado College in 1951 with a degree in English literature with plans to become a teacher. Those plans were put on hold when she visited the home of her aunt and uncle in Portland during spring break of her senior year. There she met a young lieutenant in the Air Force and (in what is described by her children as a whirlwind romance) fell in love with her future husband Von after one short week. As their romance developed through letters, plans for Betsy to join Von (who was stationed in England) concluded when she traveled by ship to London the next fall to be married in December of 1951. After their first son Ross was born in England, they decided to move back to the states to raise a family. Settling in California long enough to have their first daughter Joel, they returned to Portland and had two more children, Von and Robyn. While her husband attended to work, Betsy attended to raising the children with great distinction. She was a kind, caring and loving mother who ruled the roost with a calm but firm demeanor. Sensing that TV had an unwanted influence in her children’s development, she chose not to repair

served as the President of the Whidbey Island General Hospital Foundation. Betsy will be deeply missed by those she loved. She is survived by her husband Francis Lavon (Von); her children Ross (Colleen) Summers, Joel (Greg) Rasmussen, Von (Barbara) Summers and Robyn (Geoff) Biglow; 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A memorial service to celebrate Betsy’s life will be held 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 18 at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church in Oak Harbor. Remembrances to

NAS Whidbey gets $117 million for jet programs By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station will receive more than $117 million for P8-A Poseidon and EA-18G Growler squadron programs The funding is part of the National Defense Authorization Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama over Christmas. The act sets the policies and priorities for the Department of Defense. NAS Whidbey is slated to receive funding for three construction projects. A total of $32 million is allotted for EA-18G facility improvements, $85 million for P8-A facilities and $10 million to replace the fuel pier breakwater. An Environmental Impact Statement process for both aircraft types are underway. The base is expected to receive six or seven P8-A squadrons starting in 2015. In addition, the Navy is considering NAS Whidbey for the addition of two EA-16G

expeditionary squadrons in 2016. Capt. Mike Nortier, NAS Whidbey’s commanding officer, said the funding allotment speaks to the integral role that the base plays in the Navy’s military strategy. “While we are still waiting for Congress to pass the appropriations bill, the prioritized projects contained in the defense bill have been identified as important to the fleet and underscore the importance of NAS Whidbey Island’s strategic role for the Navy’s readiness, even in a tough fiscal environment,” Nortier said in an emailed statement. In total, the federal bill appropriates $3.2 billion for the Navy’s P-8A Poseidon program and provides full funding, $1.6 billion, for a refueling tanker being constructed at The Boeing Co.’s Everett facility. “This defense bill meets the needs of our sailors and aviators in Northwest Washington and our troops around the world,” said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, who sits

on the House Armed Services Committee. “This law keeps the nation’s commitment to NAS Whidbey Island and the sailors and aviators who serve there. These construction dollars will create good jobs on Whidbey Island and further cement NAS Whidbey Island’s role in our national defense.” Larsen said he facilitated language in the bill to help small- and medium-sized businesses secure government contracts. “Small- and mediumsized businesses often provide the best products at the lowest costs,” Larsen said. “Because of complex contracting requirements, these businesses often need assistance to compete for government projects.” “My language in this bill will help more businesses compete for government contracts. It will help companies grow and create jobs, and it will get the best products at the lowest costs to federal, state and local agencies.” Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Director Kathy Reed, who spearheaded

Janis Reid photo

Touch-and-go operations resumed this week at Outlying Field near Coupeville. Oak Harbor’s “Jets = Jobs” campaign in the wake of a federal lawsuit filed against the Navy, said the funding is welcome news in light of the economic downturn of the last few years. “Obviously it’s good news for Oak Harbor in particular and Whidbey Island in general,” Reed said. “We benefit an incredible amount from the presence of the Navy

base. After such a depressed economy, we’re already seeing growth.” “You can’t deny the base is good for business.” On a broader scale, the bill designates a senior official within the Defense Department to facilitate the transfer of prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay and restores funding to help prevent the spread of nuclear

weapons. The bill also includes 30 provisions to reduce sexual assaults in the military which will strip commanders of their ability to dismiss findings of court martials, prohibit commanders from reducing sentences, and allow victims to apply for permanent changes of station and access to special counsel.

The Navy resumed touch-and-go operations Monday, Jan. 6, at Outyling Field Coupeville. Residents in the area have complained about the increase in the number of operations at OLF in recent years. COER sued the Navy in July and is calling for a closure of OLF. “When the planes resume flying over our homes, schools, and hospital, we’ll be ready to take complaint calls,” said Michael Monson, COER president. “Callers can talk to real people starting on Thursday,

Jan. 9 and not a recorded voice. We expect complaints from all of Whidbey Island and beyond.” The Navy created a new complaint line and online complaint form last year in response to community concerns about noise. Monson said the COER hotline is needed because “many people do not trust the Navy to keep track of complaints or to treat them seriously.” NAS Whidbey representatives had no comment at press time.

Everyone is welcome to join the

It is COER’s intention to keep track of the complaints it receives and forward them to the Navy, according to a COER news release. COER also plans to analyze the complaints and use them to support the closure of the OLF and transfer of the EA-18 Growlers, which perform the touch-and-gos at OLF, to another base. “Aircraft noise, in particular low-altitude over-flights, is a public health issue that must be addressed to reduce the negative health outcomes of community members. COER looks forward to assisting people who are being harmed by unsafe noise levels in the coming weeks, by listening and recording their comments,” said Monson. “Requests for anonymity will be respected.” COER claims to have more than 3,000 supporters. The Sierra Club and the National Parks Conservation Association recently joined COER in opposing Growler training flights at OLF Coupeville. COER’s tollfree complaint hotline number is 800-830-4078. Monson said it will be staffed 24 hours a day.

Kicking the habit this year

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc Thirty years ago I was a light smoker. What can I say? I liked the effect nicotine had on my brain. Once I was hooked, I even liked the smell of tobacco smoke. Then there was the ritual. I enjoyed lighting up with others, sharing a match, having a few minutes to talk together. But I also realized smoking was a dangerous habit. After several failed attempts to quit, I was able, for some reason, to go cold turkey and finally be done with tobacco. There were some difficult days and restless nights, but I made it and have been free of my nicotine dependence for a long time. Maybe I got off easy. One thing is for sure: I don’t judge anyone who still smokes because I know some strongwilled people who have yet to quit. But while the new year is still in its infancy, perhaps it’s worth taking a look at the medical facts to see how much good you can do yourself by quitting now. And there’s some research about new products that might help you quit once and for all. The BeTobaccoFree.gov website says that if you stop smoking right now, you can look forward to the following:

Patrick Rodden shares his adventures and struggles Monday at the Coupeville Library.

Man shares struggles, trip By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter

As he shares his adventures bike riding to the Arctic Circle, Patrick Rodden is currently facing a different challenge. He spent more than a year recovering from injuries sustained in a 15-foot fall while he was putting the finishing touches on the renovation of his South Whidbey home. That accident took place two years after he made his trek, which drew the attention of regional media. As to what caused the accident, he’s not really sure. “The reality is I can’t remember a single second for two years,” Rodden said. He has been able to piece together some information about what happened in April 2009. That night he was supposed to have dinner with his mom. When he didn’t arrive for the meal, his mom traveled to his house and discovered him bleeding in his home. Rodden was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he underwent numerous surgeries for 11 weeks, before he was transported to a skilled nursing facility operated by Providence Regional Medical Center, according to information he posted at www.caringbridge.com During his stay in Everett, he had to relearn everything needed to live independently and he wasn’t released from the facility until November 2010. Now living in Coupeville, Rodden still enjoys sharing his tale of his bike that took him from South Whidbey Island to Inuvik, which is located north of

the Arctic Circle in Canada’s Northwest Territories. When he decided to undertake the ride, he was 46 years old and as he approached retirement age, he said he didn’t want to look back at what he could have done differently. More than 30 people showed up to a Monday evening event that was sponsored by the Friends of the Coupeville Library. It took place in the library’s meeting room. Rodden started his journey from South Whidbey Island, which included a 300-mile ferry ride and nearly 2,000 miles of bike riding. It took him 31 days to complete the bike ride. “The Yukon is absolutely an astounding place and most people totally overlook it,” Rodden said. He is quick to rattle off a series of facts showing how sparsely populated the Canadian territory is. The Yukon has one person per every seven square miles with a total population of 41,000 people. He met around 20 bicyclists from all over the world who were biking through the territory. He met a couple from Spain and Switzerland. He noted one couple who was biking from Northern Alaska to the East Coast. He was asked about bears that he encountered and he said he saw more

Full Moon

than a dozen bears and they left him alone. Another audience member asked if he had any mechanical difficulties during his trip and Rodden responded that he was fortunate he didn’t have any breakdowns. Rodden showed dozens of photos of the Yukon and Northwest territories, which focused on the absence of development and people. “It’s an absolutely beautiful trip and there’s nobody up there,” Rodden said. He also pointed out that the excursion was affordable. The adventure cost him around $2,600 and the majority of that was spent on the plane ride from Inuvik to Seattle.

You can use those facts as the “carrots” to arm yourself with the will to quit. If you want some “sticks” to throw in the mix, here are a few from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: —Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death. —Smokers die 10 years earlier than those who don’t smoke. —Tobacco causes more than 5 million deaths each year around the world. —In one recent year, the cigarette industry spent more than $8 billion promoting its products. Quitting isn’t easy but there are more and more approaches that might help you along your journey to freedom from cigarettes. There are prescription medications you can get from your doc-

tor — pills that may make the craving less intense. There are nicotine patches and gum you can get over the counter —materials that can help you through the rough patches without lighting up. And there’s a new device on the scene, too, namely the electronic “e-cigarette.” The device creates a vapor laced with nicotine. While some fear the e-cigarette may hook a new generation, the good news is that others have found it useful in the battle to quit nicotine altogether. According to a news report in the BBC, recent research in a study published in the journal Lancet reported that after six months of use, 57 percent of e-cigarette users had cut the number of cigarettes smoked each day in half, compared with only 41 percent of those in the study using patches. “It’s also interesting that the people who took part in our study seemed to be much more enthusiastic about e-cigarettes than patches,” professor Chris Bullen of the University of Auckland told the BBC. If you are ready to do the work of quitting tobacco, more power to you. Check out e-cigarettes if they sound interesting and you think they could help you quit. The year is young and you have a lot to live for. Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist at Princeton and Harvard.

Boys hammer Orcas Island for first win By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

It was a long time coming, but there was no doubt about it once it arrived. The Coupeville High School boys basketball team needed a win, badly, and when it finally broke through, it did so in dominating fashion. The Wolves destroyed visiting Orcas Island 84-37 Saturday, Jan. 4. The victory helped take away some of the pain of the Wolves’ 0-6 start, including a tough two-point loss, 4745, to visiting La Conner the night before. The win, only the second in the past 47 games, broke a 13-game losing streak that started last season. “I am proud of the kids,” coach Anthony Smith said. “They kept working hard; they deserved it. It was a good, solid team effort. “I was tired of people telling us ‘good game.’ We wanted a good win.” The improved play of the Wolves over the weekend can be attributed, partially, to the return of senior Gavin O’Keefe. O’Keefe, who earned a starting spot his sophomore year, broke his foot the second game of last season and was out for the remainder of the year. He then suffered the same injury during open gym in October. After surgery and several months of rehabilitation,

O’Keefe returned to the court Friday. His strong, all-around play will help steady the Wolves, Smith said; and those attributes were evident Friday and Saturday although O’Keefe is only “about 75 percent,” according to Smith. “He might be only 75 percent, but he only knows one speed,” Smith said. “He plays hard; he doesn’t cut back.” O’Keefe said “it feels great” to be back. He said the most frustrating part about sitting out was watching the Wolves lose and “there was nothing I could do about it; there was nothing I could do to help out.” When injured, he said he tried to do what he could to get better, working his upper body and, while his teammates went through two hours of practice, sitting in a chair and dribbling. O’Keefe was one of five players in double figures in the win over Orcas Island. He scored 13 points, Anthony Bergeron added 19, Aaron Trumbull 16, Wiley Hesselgrave 14 and Morgan Payne 11. Joel Walstad finished with five points, Matt Shank four and Jared Helmstadter two. Coupeville committed only six turnovers. The Wolves led 27-7, 57-18 and 72-25 at the quarters. Smith lauded the play of Bergeron, who is playing in just his second year of organized basketball. Smith called the senior

The Wolves cruised to the win even without starting center Nick Streubel, who had a football commitment in Oregon. The loss to La Conner was a heart-breaker. The Wolves, down 42-30 heading into the fourth quarter, went on a 13-1 run to tie the game

at 43 with 2:15 left. Streubel, who led the comeback with 11 fourthquarter points, scored the equalizer. He, however, fouled out 24 seconds later and La Conner’s Matt Finley hit two free throws to help the Braves regain the lead. La Conner scored again on a Coupeville turnover seconds later. Walstad made it 47-45

with 49 seconds left. Coupeville forced La Conner into a shot-clock violation, but the Wolves couldn’t tie it on their last possession. Defense was the key to the comeback, Smith said. “When we started the fourth, we told the kids we had to get one stop at a time.” The Wolves did, limiting La Conner to only one point in the first six minutes and five

for the period. Streubel scored 13 points, Bergeron nine, Hesselgrave eight, O’Keefe five, Trumbull four, Payne four and Walstad two. The Wolves (0-3, 1-6) travel to Everett to meet Archbishop Murphy (2-1, 2-7) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10.

Girls hoop team continues strong start with fifth win By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Two wins over the weekend helped the Coupeville High School girls basketball team to its best start in three years. The Wolves won a pair of home games, defeating La Conner 39-25 Friday, Jan. 3, and Orcas Island 5044 Saturday. The nonleague wins boosted the Wolves’ record to 5-2, the strongest start since they began 6-1 in 2010. Against La Conner (6-3), Coupeville went up 6-0 and set the tone for the game. It led 12-4 at the end of the first quarter and 21-11 at the break. Jim Waller photo

Left, Bree Messner directs the Coupeville office in the Wolves’ win over La Conner Friday.

A 10-0 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters wrapped up the game and put the Wolves up 33-14 with 6:20 left in the contest. Bree Messner’s bucket and Madeline Strasburg’s three at the thirdquarter buzzer began the run, then steals and layups from Makana Stone and Strasburg ended it. Strasburg topped the Wolves with 12 points; she also had three assists. Stone collected nine points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Messner added six points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Julia Myers had six points, Amanda Fabrizi four and Hailey Hammer three. Coach David King said one of the keys going into the game was controlling La Conner’s Katie Novak. The Wolves did just that, holding the normally sharp-shooting guard to zero points.

Coupeville led most of the Orcas Island game but never by more than eight as the Vikings always stayed within striking distance. Stone scored 10 points in the first quarter to lift Coupeville to a 17-11 lead. Six points by Strasburg helped the Wolves go into the locker room up 26-23. Stone, with five points, and Myers, with four, led the way in the fourth quarter as the Wolves kept Orcas Island from coming back. The loss was the first of the year for the 6-1 Vikings. Stone completed the game with 19 points and Strasburg 13. Messner had six, Myers four, Hammer four, Fabrizi three and Wynter Thorne one. Next up for Coupeville (2-1, 5-2) is Archbishop Murphy at home at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10.

FANS: Seahawks fans rally, march to wharf From page 1 With the upcoming matchup against the Saints, Besaw is confidant about the win. “I’m not worried about the Saints — we beat them last time,” Besaw said. As the crowd began to march, they echoed the same sentiments as Besaw. “Bring on the Ain’ts and we’ll spank ‘em again,” a few shouted from the crowd. Residents from all over Whidbey Island were joined by neighboring fans who made the trek for the rally Sunday. “We came all the way out from Sedro-Woolley,” said Heather Grimm. Grimm is the president of the Skagit Sea Hawkers Booster Club — an official booster club of the Seattle Seahawks. Grimm said she’s talked with Dyer about starting a Whidbey Island chapter. Skagit currently is the fastest growing booster club. “We started with six on a Monday and had 100 in a week,” Grimm said. “We hope to get one started out here.” John Bonilla drove up from Renton for the event, and was selling flags to participants who didn’t have any. “I didn’t make it to Deception Pass (before) — I missed it,” Bonilla said. Another Seahawks fan Jason Malisch wanted to show his Hawk pride by carrying two flags attached to the same pole. He decided to

Kory Dyer leads the march down Main Street to the Coupeville Wharf where more fans greeted them for the rally. make it that morning for the cause. “Go big or go home,” Malisch said. Others brought their dogs dressed up for the occasion to show their support. Tuxedo, a Boston Terrier, has been a fan for his entire life. “He wouldn’t root for anyone else,” his owner Kristen Turner said. Tuxedo is 8 years old, and was wearing his Seahawks jersey with a matching collar. After the festivities, a

few fans were meeting up to watch the San Francisco 49ers play the Green Bay Packers in what they were calling “the Whine and Cheese Bowl.” Besaw wanted the 49ers to win because she wanted a rematch against the Seahawks. She graduated from Oak Harbor High School and she knows a few alumni who now live in California and root for the San Francisco. Dyer had an ulterior mo-

tive for wanting the 49ers to win. “I want them to lose to us,” Dyer said. If the Seahawks are victorious, they will play the winner of the Carolina Panthers and 49ers game. For the fans, it wasn’t a matter of if the Hawks would make it to the Super Bowl, but when. Coupeville resident Traynor Hunt said he wanted the Denver Broncos to go up against the Seahawks.

“We want to kick Denver’s ass,” Hunt said. Malisch said Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning would be unsuccessful in running the Broncos’ offense. “Our defense will pick him a part,” Malisch said. To keep up the momentum, Besaw wants to have rally on the ferry to meet up with Mukilteo fans. Dyer said those logistics might be more difficult to work out.
