Navy EIS comment period extended By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

In response to a number of requests, the Navy is extending the scoping period for the Environmental Impact Statement on the EA-18G Growlers. Comments are now being accepted until Friday, Jan. 31. Purpose of the extension is “to ensure all surrounding communities have ample opportunity to provide input,” Navy officials said in a prepared news release. Recently, the Navy was criticized by the City of Port Townsend and San Juan County. David King, the mayor of Port Townsend, said he and the city council complained that they were not notified about the EIS process or offered a public scoping meeting. Public meetings were held during December in Coupeville, Oak Harbor and Anacortes. The scoping period began Sept. 5, with the original deadline for closing it set for Jan. 3. King described the Navy’s new Growlers, which are replacing the EA-6B Prowlers, as “pretty loud” and “very much noticed” by Port Townsend residents. Though saying the Navy originally overlooked Port Townsend in the scoping process, King said he is encouraged that the Navy extended the scoping period. “It seems like, in asking for it, we were able to get it,” King said. Port Townsend’s city council also asked for an additional public scoping meeting, King said, which the Navy does not appear to be offering at this time. Still, King said, the Navy’s response was “a step in that direction” and he remains hopeful that Port Townsend will continue to be included as the EIS progresses. An additional opportunity for public input will held after the EIS statement is written and a draft version is made public in 2015. It doesn’t seem likely that Port Townsend’s city council would be taking a formal position on the Growler, King said, but added members believe it is important

Tim McDonald, executive director for Port of Coupeville, and other officials for port closed a Front Street public beach access due to safety concerns with the stairs leading down to the water.

Port closes beach access by wharf By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Due to safety concerns, leaders for the Port of Coupeville chained off a Front Street entry point to the beach. The stairs near the port office by Coupeville Wharf were recently blocked. People can still walk down to the beach by using the Front Street deck, located next to the Knead and Feed. “The stairway is falling apart and it’s not safe to go down there,” said Tim McDonald, executive director for Port of Coupeville. He added parts of the concrete stairs have broken, the sand underneath is washing away and there’s nothing anchoring the stairs. There is also a large piece of wood blocking the stairs and hampering people’s access to the shore. Port officials said they noticed the state of the stairs last month. A chain currently blocks the entry at the top and bottom of the stairs while officials figure out how to address the issues. The access is just the latest maintenance problem to arise for a public entity that owns two 100-year-old facilities — the Coupeville Wharf and Greenbank Farm. “Basically we have more maintenance than we can handle,” Port Commissioner Mar-

shall Bronson said during last week’s monthly meeting. The Port of Coupeville recently received a rural development fund grant that will provide up to $70,000 to pay for new fuel floats at the Coupeville Wharf. The current concrete floats are prone to breaking away from the Wharf during severe weather. The fuel float project is currently going through the permitting process through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the state Departments of Ecology, Natural Resources andFish and Wildlife. Also the sewer system at the Greenbank Farm needs to be redesigned and officials are working to meet requirements set by the state Department of Health. Officials have to hire a professional engineer to design the new system and they have to find someone to manage the system since the former manager is no longer available. The current sewage system was installed

by Greenbank Farm’s previous owner, Chateau Ste. Michelle. When it was installed, it was designed to handle special events. However, with the addition of a restaurant and a food production facility, the current system isn’t able to handle the load. Port officials are also busy developing an updated list of construction, repair and maintenance projects. It will be up to the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville to come up with a priority list. Leaders have currently budgeted to spend $70,464 in construction, repair and maintenance in 2014. The small port district received $335,000 in Conservation Futures Funds in 2013 for a conservation easement placed on the agriculture, recreational and environmentally sensitive lands at Greenbank Farm. Officials have yet to decide how to use that additional funding.

referrals. “It’s mostly just people who have a great story to tell and are willing to give up a Saturday and speak to the public,” Salveson said. Salveson joined Beach Watchers in 2012, so she’s a “newbie” compared to other volunteers. “I really am excited about learning and giving the opportunity for other people to learn about our environment,” Salveson said. “It’s energizing. We want to keep getting information out there for people who want to learn about it.” Because of all the new classes, there’s a lot of information people haven’t heard before, Salveson said. Some of the new classes include Bald Eagle ecology, snails, slugs and things in our gardens to landslide hazards — which is extremely relevant after the large slide at Ledgewood last year, Salveson said. “We run the gamut of technical scientific information and some of the more interesting information about the snails and slugs around us,” Salveson said. The exhibits hall will be open all day long, Ade Ridder said. Puget Sound Energy and the American Red Cross will have booths set-up. People will be able to check out emergency kits and learn how to make a plan for their family during an earthquake. “The goal is to help people better understand the place

Beach Watchers gearing up for Sound Waters For anyone wanting to learn more about Puget Sound, Beach Watchers is holding a one-day university with 65 classes Feb. 1. Sound Waters, now in its 19th year, was started after the first Beach Watchers organization was formed. The program is a Washington State University Extension service which brings volunteers together to educate the public about Puget Sound. “I’m trying to do my bit to save the planet,” said Julie Ward, publicity chairwoman for Sound Waters. About 550 to 600 people attend the event, said cochairwoman Linda Ade Ridder. Many people who are a part of Beach Watchers want to preserve what the area has, but also they want to do more than write a check, Ward said. “There’s a lot of passion,” Ward said. “Sound Waters is put on by volunteers.” Twenty volunteers makeup the core of the Sound Waters committee.

2013 Sound Waters participants make their way through registration. This year 65 classes will be offered for attendees to choose from. All of the volunteers are part of Beach Watchers, so they’ve completed 100 hours of program training, Ade Ridder said. “It’s a great group to work with,” Ade Ridder said. “It makes being chair pretty easy.” This year’s keynote speaker is William Steele, a 20-year veteran of the University of Washington Seismology Lab. Steele will talk about the Cascadia Fault Zone, earthquake hazards and efforts to

build an effective early warning system. “If there was a 9.0 earthquake off the coast, even here in the sound we would feel effects,” Ade Ridder said. Steele’s keynote speech will commence the one-day university. Attendees can focus on any area they want, Ward said. Classes range from basic fishing techniques, native culture and traditions to ocean acidification. There will be three ses-

sions for class: a morning, early afternoon and mid-afternoon session. About half of the classes are new this year. Sue Salveson, program chairwoman, was in charge of locating speakers for the class. To find new class topics, Salveson said she read through the news to find issues that affect the local marine environment. She then contacted the spokespersons of the organizations to speak at the event. Experts have also approached her about participating, and she’s received

where we live, and how we can be better stewards,” Ade Ridder said. Beach Watchers’ mission is to educate the public, Ade Ridder said. The Sound Waters event is a large fundraiser for Beach Watchers because many of the funds that were available to them in the past are no longer there. Money raised will go to support the coordinator and keep programs going. Online registration opened Jan. 4 and continues through Jan. 25. Online registration takes priority, Ward said. People can try to register the day of, but they’ll have to take their chances on what classes are left. Class sizes range between 20-to-30 people. Everyone is able to attend the keynote speaker, Ward said. The first time Ward attended the event in 2011, the main topic was titled “Puget Sound: What’s In Our Water and Why Does It Matter?,” which was also known as “cinnamon and spice and things not so nice.” “Everything we eat ends up out there,” Ward said. “Everything you do on land effects the water.” Because of the popularity of the topic, it will be one of the returning classes this year. “It’s neat to be around 500 people who care about our waters,” Ward said. “It’s a buzz to have people who want to do something.”

Ember sparks dust causing evacuation A burning ember simmering in a dust pile prompted the evacuation of Coupeville Middle and High School Wednesday afternoon. At approximately 1:30 p.m., maintenance supervisor Scott Losey was in the process of changing a belt in the air handling unit for the woodworking/metalworking building at Coupeville High School. He discovered a small ember and burning dust. The fire alarm was triggered and students in both schools were evacuated to a playing field next to the gym building, according to information from the Coupeville School District. Students returned to class approximately 25 minutes later. Losey was able to extinguish the small fire, which was contained within the metal ductwork. Firefighters from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue responded to the alarm. They were onsite shortly after the alarm sounded. Superintendent Jim Shank expressed appreciation for the quick response from Losey and the fire department, and the students and staff who followed fire drill procedures to quickly evacuate. “Staff handled it great and students handled it great,” Shank said.

County struggling to find conservation fund volunteers By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

After months of searching, Island County is still looking for volunteers to participate in two boards that evaluate projects trying to utilize Conservation Futures Funds. The county started looking for volunteers in October to serve on the Community Advisory Board and the Technical Advisory Board; however, nobody has applied yet. “It would be nice to fill the positions,” said Pam Dill, who is coordinating the application search for Island County. She said it doesn’t require a large time commitment. The Technical Advisory Group evaluates applications in March and the Community Advisory Board meets in May before

they forward recommendations to the Board of Island County Commissioners. The Conservation Futures Funds made news in late 2013 when county officials considered placing the fund on hold for one year. Instead, commissioners came up with priorities on how to use the fund. The highest priority projects are acquiring easements around Outlying Field and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station followed by loan payoff, and applications to maintain existing properties funded by the futures fund. Conservation Futures Fund is paid through a 6.25 cent tax per $1,000 assessed property valuation. Money raised through the fund pays for acquiring rights in open space, farm and agricultural land, timberland and to maintain properties that has been

Port beach access not a major project, but important one Due to safety concerns, Port of Coupeville officials closed the public beach access near the wharf. There is no timeframe for when these concerns will be addressed and the access will be reopened. Officials said they are Megan Hansen concerned about people usSome perspective ing the access because the the stairway is falling apart, a log is blocking the way and parts of the concrete have broken away. With sand erosion, there’s nothing anchoring the path. Officials are in the process of identifying a list of priority projects for the port, including replacing aging fuel floats at the wharf, upgrading the sewer system and insulating a barn at Greenbank Farm. Officials have a limited budget each year to work with and seek out grants and additional funding for some of these projects. When compared to those other items, fixing a stairwell pales in comparison, but it is important. Coupeville is a tourist community. People come here to visit the seaside town, explore the community and enjoy the beaches. While there is access further down near Knead N’ Feed, having the location near the wharf is ideal. One of the port’s determined purposes is to encourage eco-tourism. We need to support and maintain our waterfront to the best of our abilities to ensure we maintain that appeal to tourists. While the port has many larger projects on its plate to deal with, it shouldn’t let this one slip through the cracks. Hopefully officials can identify an easy, cost efficient way to address the repairs. And it needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. — Megan Hansen is editor of The Whidbey Examiner.

Understands frustrations of living near jet noise

Thanks to whoever found lost ATM card

Editor, I understand the frustration of those living under the flight path of Navy jets. I did live under the Prowler path and was content with the noise. But, until another area is found for training our men and women, alternative answers should be listened to. What about the idea someone suggested to have them practice on a carrier anchored out off shore?

Editor, Thank you so much to the honest person who found my card by the ATM on Saturday, Jan. 4 and put it in the night deposit box.

Educate and prepare for earthquakes

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc “It’s 8:16 on a chilly, wet morning … You’ve just arrived at work and are pouring a cup of coffee when you become aware of a low rumbling noise. Within seconds, the rumbling becomes a roar, the floor beneath you heaves, and the building begins to pitch and shake so violently that you’re thrown to the floor. The roaring is joined by a cacophony of crashing as windows shatter and every unsecured object in the room — from the desk chair to the coffee pot — is sent flying. Shaken loose by the shudder-

ing and jolting of the building, dust and ceiling particles drift down like snow. Then the lights flicker and go out.” That’s the arresting start of a new report produced by several governmental agencies that describes what can happen when a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hits what’s called the Cascadia Region, an area that stretches from the coast of northern California northward through western Oregon, Washington, and southwestern British Columbia. The quake will be triggered by movement along the faults that lie between the oceanic tectonic plates and the plate on which North America rides. When the plates move suddenly, absolutely enormous amounts of energy are released, with violent shaking of the ground and tsunamis as the result. The report that describes all this is “Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes: A Magnitude 9.0 Earthquake Scenario. “ Cascadia isn’t the only place in danger of having major earthquakes. Most famously, the San Andreas and

associated faults in California are a constant threat to local residents. And the New Madrid fault zone, centered where the states of Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee come together, is a threat to the lower Midwest. Finally, states as different as South Carolina and Alaska also run the risk of significant earthquakes. In short, the U.S. has a number of regions where enormous amounts of energy can be released over the span of just seconds, with resulting damage to buildings, roads, power lines and pipelines. The Cascadia region of the Pacific Northwest is in danger of large earthquakes because it’s a subduction zone – a place where ocean crust dives underneath the overriding North American plate. Worldwide, subduction zones harbor the greatest threats for truly enormous earthquakes, with magnitudes from 8 to 9 and even higher. In 1960 a quake off the coast of Chile had a magnitude of 9.5 – the highest ever on record. Quakes that enormous have major ground shaking that lasts for a ter-

rifyingly long time, and they can create large tsunami at sea. In addition, such quakes have numerous aftershocks, quakes that in their own right are significant. The scale used by geologists to measure earthquakes has its complexities. In California, the Loma Prieta quake of 1989 had a magnitude of 6.9. In 2002 a quake with magnitude 7.9 struck Denali Park, Alaska. The Alaskan quake, measuring a single unit higher on the magnitude scale, released more than 30 times more energy than the smaller Loma Prieta quake. The most recent megaquake in Cascadia is estimated to have had a magnitude between 8.7 and 9.2. It occurred on Jan. 26, 1700. We know about it both from physical evidence here in our country and from written records of a tsunami that arrived in Japan some hours after the quake. The sobering fact is that we could have a similar event again, and at any time. We can’t predict the date of the next major earthquake

in the U.S., but we can anticipate some likely impacts it will have. In Cascadia, the dangers spring both from ground shaking and flooding along the coasts and estuaries due to tsunami. The Oregon Legislature commissioned a report that estimated more than $30 billion in property could be lost when the next Big One hits. The death toll might stand at around 10,000 from such an event. It behooves those of us who live in earthquake country – whether in the lower Midwest, California or Cascadia – to educate ourselves about risks. Having several days worth of food and water on hand, and a way to cook up some vittles, are simple goals most of us can achieve. Dr. E.

Wolves shake off bad game, topple MVC By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

After a night when little went right, the Coupeville High School boys basketball team got back on track with a 50-47 nonleague win over visiting Mount Vernon Christian Saturday, Jan. 11. Friday night, the Wolves fell 67-30 at Archbishop Murphy. The win over the Hurricanes gave the Wolves their second of the year, already surpassing the win totals of each of the previous two seasons. And it didn’t come easily. Coupeville held slight leads most of the night, staying out front 13-10, 22-19 and 36-27 at the quarters. Mount Vernon Christian (6-7) drilled several threeballs and opened the fourth period on a 10-0 run, and Coupeville found itself behind 37-36. The Wolves withstood the storm and brewed one of their own. They tightened their defense and went back to a full-court press. “We switched up our defenses and it threw their offense off a little bit,” Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said. The result: the Wolves outscored the Hurricanes 11-2 and regained control. From there, MVC never

got closer than the final threepoint margin. Nick Streubel led Coupeville with a double-double, collecting 15 points and 12 rebounds. Anthony Bergeron nearly earned his own double-double, tallying 17 points and eight boards. Wiley Hesselgrave chipped in with eight points, Aaron Trumbull five, Gavin O’Keefe two, Matt Shank two and Joel Walstad one. “We played hard,” Smith said. “It was a good win.” Archbishop Murphy (3-2, 3-8) started Friday’s game on a 14-0 run and Coupeville never recovered. “No one played well at all,” Smith said. “I don’t know what it was, the press or what.” Smith said his team didn’t have problems breaking the press but did have problems finishing. “We had no offense. We rushed our shots. There was nothing good about this game,” he said. Coupeville played without Streubel, who was recovering from an injury in the previous game. Trumbull scored nine points, Walstad seven, Bergeron seven, O’Keefe six, and Oscar Liquidano one. Coupeville (0-5, 2-8) heads to Shoreline to play King’s (3-1, 8-2) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17.

Free throw woes contribute to pair of losses for girls team Foul shots are a reward for an opponent’s mistake, but the Coupeville High School girls basketball team failed to take advantage of those opportunities in a pair of home losses last weekend. The Wolves lost 56-39 to Archbishop Murphy Friday, Jan. 10, and 38-36 in a nonleague game to Mount Vernon Christian Saturday, Jan. 11. Struggles at the foul line played a role in both losses, particularly in the close loss to the Hurricanes. Coupeville missed 16 free throws against Mount Vernon Christian, hitting only 16 of 32. The Wolves were 9 for 21 at the line against ATM. Archbishop Murphy (3-2, 4-5)

exploded in the third quarter to pull away in Friday’s game. The Wildcats led 16-14 after one period and 25-22 at halftime. “Down only three at halftime, we felt pretty good with our game plan,” coach David King said. Then the third quarter started. “We came out slow; the energy on the court wasn’t there,” King said. Besides being outscored 18-6 in the quarter, the Wolves’ lost point guard Bree Messner to a head injury. Messner returned late in the game but missed Saturday’s game with MVC. “Missing our floor leader for an extended time hurt us against the

press and on offense,” King said. Amanda Fabrizi led Coupeville with 10 points, Makana Stone had eight, Monica Vidoni six, Maddi Strasburg five, Messner five, Julia Myers four and Hailey Hammer one. Mount Vernon Christian brought a glossy 11-1 record into Saturday’s game, and the Wolves missed the chance for the upset when they missed free throws – and players. Messner didn’t play, and Hammer injured an ankle in the third quarter and sat the remainder of the game. The number of missing reached five when three other Wolves fouled out.

10 at the break and 25-24 after the third period. The Wolves sank only 1 of 10 free throws in the fourth period while MVC hit 6 of 12. Stone topped the Wolves with 16 points, Fabrizi had nine, all in the second half, and Hammer had five before being injured. Strasburg added three, Wynter Thorne two and Myers one. Kacie Kiel received the start in place of Messner, and freshman Carlie Rosenkrance made her varsity debut in the fourth quarter. Coupeville (2-3, 5-5) takes on King’s (4-0, 7-3) at home at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17.

Fifty fouls were called in the game, but the one that wasn’t ruined Coupeville’s last chance to win the game. Fabrizi stole the ball with two seconds left and appeared to be fouled as she shot at the buzzer. No whistle blew and the game ended. The Mount Vernon Christian coach told King after the game that Fabrizi was fouled. Poor officiating did not “lose the game for us,” King said. “It was poor free-throw shooting, fouls and turnovers.” The game, which was close throughout, got off to a sluggish start with the Hurricanes up 5-4 after one quarter.

EIS: Navy extends commenting period that community member’s comments, whatever they might be, be included in the EIS. THE SAN JUAN COUNTY COUNCIL sent a letter to the Navy Jan. 2, urging them to extend the EIS scoping period by 60 days and to hold a local public input meeting. “At 6.5 nautical miles from the runways at NAS Whidbey, the San Juan Islands are geographically closer than Anacortes or Coupeville,” said the letter from Jamie Stephens, chair council. “Therefore, we feel a comment period extension and a local meeting are in order.” Public affairs officers for the EIS could not be reached for comment. THE EIS SCOPING PERIOD is gathering information about the environmental impact of basing two additional expeditionary Growler squadrons and three additional aircraft to the training squadron at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The Navy uses Outlying Field Coupeville for carrier touch-and-go landing practices. Pre-deployment qualification. Operations at both OLF Coupeville and the main base in Oak Har-

bor are being considered in the EIS. The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, a group which sued the Navy in July over jet noise, said in a statement Monday that it was good to see the Navy responding to public requests. “People in areas outside Coupeville, Oak Harbor and Anacortes have gotten the Navy to hear their voices, raised in unison, asking for fairness and a hearing,” said Michael Monson, president of COER. “The Navy has hopefully realized their error in not listening to the many people affected by Growler noise,” Monson said. “COER is still disturbed that the Navy doesn’t feel it necessary to conduct scoping meetings, as they should have done, in these outlying areas.” Public input is very important in order for the Navy to fully understand community concerns and relevant issues, Navy officials said Monday in their news release. n Members of the public may mail comments to: EA18G EIS Project Manager (Code EV21/SS); Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, Va. 23508.

IT settles into new facilities By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Today’s Island Transit looks a lot different from the entity that formed in 1987 with five buses and 20 employees working out of a former auto shop that contained two maintenance bays and one restroom. The publicly-funded transit entity currently has more than 200 vehicles and more than 140 employees who recently moved into a new headquarters facility that was mostly paid for by a federal grant. That headquarters is located on Highway 20, south of Coupeville near the Pacific Rim Institute and Outlying Field. Island Transit executive director Martha Rose said

she hopes the new headquarters campus will serve the agency’s needs for the next 40 years to 50 years. Officials have been lamenting for years about the state of their old headquarters building; it was small, there was only one restroom for more than 100 employees and a small number of bays made it difficult for staff to keep up with maintenance on a growing fleet of vehicles. Most of the funding for the $22.4 million headquarters came from a $17.9 million federal State of Good Repair grant. The remaining dollars came from Island Transit.

Instead of the single restroom, both large buildings have restrooms and showers to accommodate Island Transit’s workforce. In addition, the administration building has a new lunchroom that includes a stove and several refrigerators and microwaves. Rose said Island Transit’s employee association chipped in to buy fitness equipment for the employee gym.

land located just within the confines of Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve. Island Transit is using native plants for landscaping and failed trees from a nearby tree orchard are being used for mulch. Island Transit will be helping with a restoration project on nearby Smith Prairie that will include an interpretive project showing life on the prairie. The maintenance bays provide an upgrade for island transit. There are 12 bays that provide enough space for staff to maintain and clean the vehicles in Island Transit’s fleet, Rose said. Island Transit administration and operations staff moved into the new building in early June with maintenance moving in about six weeks later. Once the move was complete, the old building was destroyed to make room for a parking lot. The public will be able to view the new headquarters during an open house currently scheduled for May 17, 2014.
