Port says not now to WSU proposal

VOL. 20, NO. 6

Senior HUB

By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

A plan to revamp Greenbank Farm and increase its economic viability won’t be considered by the Port of Coupeville until next year. The plan, presented by Washington State University, aims to push the struggling farm further into the world of “edutourism” by providing an active educational facility that could be used by students and visitors alike. Port officials said they are bound by their current management agreement but want to discuss the plan in the future. WSU staff said they believe the port should be more excited about the proposal.

Town to ban tobacco in parks, trails By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Pretty soon, residents will not be allowed to use tobacco products in town parks and trails. Coupeville Town Council held the first reading last week of Ordinance 714, which prohibits smoking tobacco and smoke-free tobacco in all parks and trails established in town code. The ordinance is in partnership with Island County Health Department. All of the signage needed for the change will be covered by a grant from the health department. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said the idea is to promote a healthy community. Areas the ordinance covers include Coupeville Town Park, Cooks Corner Park, Captain Coupe Park, Lions Park,

Creating ‘perfect utilization’

Methodist church will house new activities for Coupeville seniors By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Town of Coupeville is partnering with Senior Services and Coupeville United Methodist Church to provide programs and dining for Central Whidbey seniors. Currently, Senior Services serves a meal at the church every Wednesday and has done so since 2011. In 2012, the mid-week gathering expanded to offer Bingo a couple times a month. Volunteer site manager Rosalind Dailey Rohrer said she serves 16-24 seniors each week. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said it’s been an ongoing conversation between the three groups about creating some kind of programming. Fast forward to next month, and the of-

ficial Coupeville HUB for Seniors will start programs. “It was kind of the brain child of all of us,” Conard said. “We thought we could serve more seniors if we had more activities and programming.” The HUB will offer the existing Wednesday meal along with regular programs and services on Wednesdays and some Fridays. Conard took the idea to Coupeville Town Council during a recent work session to provide financial support for the idea. Council gave informal approval of the idea, and Conard is currently working on a budget revision, which she hopes to bring to council next month. Town of Coupeville will be paying Senior Services about $10,000 to aid in the creation of

the HUB, Conard said. Some of that money will be going to pay Coupeville HUB Resource Coordinator Glenda Cantrell. In setting up the programs, Cantrell said she’s looking at an equal representation of fun/ crafty–type activities, musical entertainment and education. “It’s fun,” she said. “It’s a fun challenge because I look at it as talking someone into doing something for nothing, but really they’re supporting Senior Services.” Activities will all be free. Senior Services does request a $4 donation for meals. However, Cantrell said no one will be

responsible budget,” said Commissioner Bill Larsen. “The budget addresses what we face in the next year. It’s a living, working document.” The port does have $180,000 in an undedicated fund, which is left over from funds secured by selling a conservation easement at Greenbank Farm. The fund initially had $335,000, but funds were transferred into the 2014 budget to cover unexpected repairs and maintenance. Some of the funds were also used to cover the port handyman position, which was created earlier this year. McDonald said that the $180,000 needs to last the port three years when the bond for Greenbank Farm is paid off. “The 2018 budget will be a lot easier because you won’t be paying off the Greenbank Farm bond,” McDonald told commissioners last week. In 2015, the port will pay $106,000 toward the bond’s principal and interest. With an ever-tight budget, limited reserve funds and aging buildings in need of repair, port officials are exploring options to bring in

The Port of Coupeville’s preliminary budget was so tight this year that the agency’s director scrutinized just about every penny. Executive Director Tim McDonald said he had to review each line item to balance the $538,000 operating budget. In the end, it came down to $5,000. Each commissioner cut $500 from his travel budget and the board decided to reduce hours for a temporary administrative position that was only approved this summer. The preliminary 2015 budget, which commissioners approved last week, earmarks just $10,000 for construction, repairs and maintenance for both the aging wharf and buildings at Greenbank Farm. “We’ll barely be squeaking by,” McDonald said. And that earmark does not account for major projects identified on the port’s repairs and maintenance list, which includes fixing the port office foundation and stairwell. “This is a financially

additional revenue and various grant options to help with repair costs. This month, the port, with the aid of Sarah Steen from Ebey’s Landing Historical Reserve, will submit for a $50,000 matching National Heritage Grant. The grant is possible with the port’s tight budget because the required match could be given in kind. McDonald said the port handyman would be assisting with the execution of the grant and his salary can be considered in the matching requirements. Steen, who is drafting the grant proposal along with volunteer David Day, said the grant will focus on exterior needs, including roofing, windows, siding and trim. “We’re really excited about this,” Larsen said. If accepted, the port would have two years to accomplish any work under the grant. The port also anticipates $2,000 in revenue from the recently instituted $1 per head passenger fee.

Museum fundraiser to honor Shermans By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

No matter how high Roger Sherman gets up in years, he never grows tired of the view of Ebey’s Prairie. It’s something he has enjoyed for a lifetime and is happy that others will be able to admire today and into the future. It was Sherman, his brother, Al Sherman, and their families that made financial sacrifices in the early 1980s that helped prevent a critical piece of the prairie landscape from being altered by residential development. The decision to trade the developmental rights of one piece of property to acquire another was a legal agreement with the National Park Service that would ensure both parcels would stay in the family but remain working farmland. “From a financial standpoint, it might have been a very bad decision,” Roger Sherman said. “But we were happy at the time, and we’re happy now. “I love to see the prairie. I look at it every day and know it’s going to be protected.” The impact Al and Roger Sherman have made on the Coupeville community is part of the reason they were selected as the guests of honor for a dinner and auction that will benefit the Island County Historical Society. The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 11, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. The cost to get on the guest list is $70, which includes dinner and two beverage passes. Reservations may be made at the Island County Historical Society Museum at 908 NW Alexander St. in Coupeville.

This is the fourth year that the Historical Society has honored special guests at its annual fundraising dinner and auction. The first three recipients were Wallie Funk, Helen Chatfield-Weeks and Vern Olsen. Nancy Conard, Coupeville’s mayor, suggested something different this year, proposing to Rick Castellano, the museum’s director, and Cindy Johnson, Historical Society board president, that both Sherman brothers be honored for their impacts on local history and historic preservation. “We both looked at each other and said, ‘Wow, how do you top that?’ ” Castellano said. Retired farmers, Roger and Al are part of a Sherman family that has tilled the soil on the prairie since 1896. Each has lived in Coupeville for all but only a handful of years of their lives. Al, 82, spent time in the Army, college and in a farm program in Austria, while Roger, 79, had a stint in the Air Force. After the military, they joined forces to run a farming business together on 700 acres. They raised turkeys, then ran a dairy. “We raised a lot of turkeys,” Roger said. “We raised up to 100,000 a year for a few years.” They also raised families, with their offspring carrying

Karen and Wilbur Bishop, Al’s daughter and son-inlaw, own Ebey Road Farm. Don and Deb Sherman, Roger’s son and daughter-inlaw, run Sherman Farms. “He and I farmed together all of our working life and grew up together on the farm,” Al said. “We made it work. Farmers have had a hard time passing land from one generation to another. That’s always complicated. Farming has a high net worth and low income most of the time. You always need to buy more machinery. “My dad got it to Rog and I. We incorporated and Roger and I got it to the next generation to our kids. We’re pretty proud of that. And the

process of doing that — we sold development rights so the farmland will be there and won’t be cluttered with houses — I’m pretty proud of that, too.” Both brothers have been involved in the community in other ways, such as with the Lions Club and as docents at the Jacob Ebey’s House. “Everyone wants to be on the shift with Roger,” said Lynn Hyde, interpretive/education specialist with Ebey’s

Landing National Historical Reserve. “You always come out smarter. “They’re both just real stalwart contributors and always have been. Al was one of the first people to start the momentum that would become the cause to create the Reserve in the first place.” Roger also is a longtime cemetery district commissioner and noted Coupeville historian who has specialized in giving cemetery tours over

the years. “They both have been very generous to the community,” Coupeville historian Judy Lynn said. Both are honored to be a part of the featured guests at the museum’s major fundraiser. “It’s really nice,” Al said. “It’s something you appreciate. I’m kind of looking forward to it. My kids all seem to want to come. If they want to come, that’s fine with me.”

Examiner can help by researching jet issue Editor, While it may be easy and entertaining to print letters insulting Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, serious questions go unexplored by the Examiner. The debate is over whether Growler noise and the number of planned Navy flights exceed reasonable levels for the health and safety of Whidbey-area residents and their businesses — and why our elected federal officials aren’t being more transparent. The Examiner can perform a public service by doing real research to get at the facts. For instance, based on your research, what is the Growler’s noise level, and how does it compare to other Naval aircraft that have flown over Whidbey? Can people from Port Townsend to Langley and from Greenbank to Camano be imagining a material increase in noise? This presents you with a journalistic opportunity: Is the Growler’s noise over a reasonable limit? If the Growler is unacceptably loud, how did that happen? As its manufacturer, was Boeing responsible? In development, was the noise issue too expensive to fix? Are mitigation repairs feasible? Are there health problems with people in Oak Harbor and around OLF, as well with the Navy crews that service these planes? Are alternative landing fields available in less populated areas such as China Lake? What can the Examiner independently find out about these and related matters? Except for Mayor Nancy Conard and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, no elected officials are leading here. Why? Our U.S. senators and representatives, who are best situated to obtain information, appear too frightened of economic and political consequences to make inquiries and share the answers. To be content to wait for an environmental impact statement authored by the Navy that takes years to complete is an insufficient response to the health and safety problems being raised by people who are suffering now. Worse, do our elected representatives have the answers and are refusing to disclose them? So the Examiner must ask our elected officials if they have this type of information, and, if they say no, ask them why they haven’t made inquiries. And, even if Larsen, Murray and Cantwell refuse to be transparent, the Examiner should start a Frequently Asked Questions site available on its website, updating available information, presenting all sides’ factual submissions and their sources, and what your staff has found out, as well as what responses are given and what actions each of our federal representatives have taken.

questioning the patriotism of Growler siting opponents. We all honor and value our service members. NAS Whidbey is executing its mission according to what it’s been ordered to do. That doesn’t mean, however, that neighbors of operations who find them damaging or hazardous shouldn’t complain and should accept unquestioningly senior officials’ siting decisions. Accepting what the Navy says at face value about the Growler makes no sense, especially for elected representatives and a newspaper. So I ask: Can our elected officials be more transparent? Can the Examiner do more?

This way, we’re helping them do the job they are training for (our protection). Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Too bad this protection doesn’t block out the noise of the people who are doing more harm than good by the Citizens of Ebey’s reserve.

Editor, South Whidbey Senior Services recently held a meeting with Island Transit staff to discuss paratransit service cuts. It was an informative meeting for folks who find themselves in a bind resulting from service cuts that have resulted from mismanagement of Island Transit. Solutions for the problems must come from the administrative end of Island Transit and its Board of Directors. Sadly, that is where the problems were created. Transit users and other attendees voiced their concerns and offered suggestions to help. Several paratransit users wondered why they have not been allowed to pay for, or toward, their needed transportation. Several special meetings of the board of directors and for transit users are being scheduled to explain, understand and fix budget problems. The issues of management evaluation and board oversight are in progress by

Be smart when it comes to mitigating jet noise Editor, Here I go again. I am 96 years old and I’m not a mental giant like some of the leaders of the anti-Outlying Field group think they are. I am old fashioned enough to know there’s an easy way to solve most problems. If my family were home when the planes started going over my house, I would say, “Here come our noisy friends.” You know, the nice young men who are doing their job by flying these planes are probably wearing hearing protection. Why don’t we be smart like them and put something in our ears like cotton so the noise isn’t as loud? We could do this the next time they come.

management and the board. What they need is new administration and more responsible and decisive board direction, now. Both the executive director and the board of directors share responsibility for the problems with our transit system. They are all scrambling to correct problems that should have been prevented by much closer attention to the details of providing the several necessary and very useful transportation services to the citizens of Island County. When our previous state senator was unelected, a couple of years ago, Island Transit lost a powerful champion in Olympia. That champion had facilitated years of financial grant assistance to Island Transit that faded with her defeat. Island Transit must now deal with the reality of finding ways to generate enough money to provide transportation services that had been proudly, but unrealistically, “fare free” for years. It had been concluded by management and the Board of Directors that asking transit bus and paratransit users to pay any part of the cost of their transportation was “confrontational.” It had also been concluded that allowing advertising on transit vehicles was offensive to our “rural character.” Island Transit administration and its board of directors needs to cause changes to our transit system that will provide practicable and dependable public transportation services. Transit users must be allowed to pay something for transit services.

I was fortunate to be raised in a small town in southwestern Kentucky. It was like Coupeville in that it was a small town isolated from large cities. It did, however, provide a safe place to “hang out” with friends. These past 43 years, I have been more fortunate to “grow up” and raise our children here in Coupeville. For most of those 43 years, I have dreamed about, and in the recent past worked toward, providing a safe place for youth of all ages to hang out. That place is the Boys & Girls Club located right here in the old fire station. It’s not pretty, and it certainly is not big enough to meet the needs of our youth. Sadly, it is definitely not appropriate for our teenagers.

The sky is the limit of what the Club could provide, given adequate space. To realize my dream, I have agreed to be the Chair for the Campaign Committee to raise the necessary funds to build a new, larger building to house all the activities the Club has the capability to provide, if only we had the space. Cecil and Kaye Stuurmans have generously donated two acres of land for the new Club in a great location, only blocks from the current building. Plans have been drawn up, which include a space for both Club activities, and our beloved Gifts From the Heart Food Bank. It is now up to the citizens of Central Whidbey to provide $1.5 million to build a safe place to support our youth for decades to come. We have raised over $250,000 so far, but we need your help. We are asking you to make a pledge over a fiveyear time period. With pledges in place, we can begin the exciting part of developing the property and making the building a reality. If you have a heart for youth and would like to join our campaign committee, feel free to contact me at any time. — Carmen McFadden is a board member for the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club.

Kite festival is this weekend By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Colorful kites of all shapes and sizes will fill the sky above Camp Casey once again this month during the Whidbey Island Kite Festival. The festival is Saturday, Sept. 20 and Sunday, Sept. 21. The festival features sport kite competitions with individuals and teams flying in dual and multi-line events, small and giant kites flown on single lines, kite lessons, a teddy bear drop, kids’ kite making and other children’s activities. A mass ascension, in which anyone can participate, will be at noon both days. Members of the Whidbey Island Kite Fliers and others will be offering lessons on dual-and quad-line kites, organizer Lisa Root said. There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Fliers come from all over to compete, Root said. “We get people from Oregon, Southern Washington, even Canada,” she said. The precision kite flying team, Island Quad, with members from British Columbia and Washington, will be performing again. They entertain with interpretive movements to music while

flying their quad-line Revolution Kites in a choreographed flight pattern. This team has been flying at the festival for a number of years and is always fun to watch, Root said. Whidbey quad team Oddsquad will also be performing. The team can often be seen practicing at Fort Casey or City Beach Park in Oak Harbor. At 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, the Indoor Kite Competition takes place in the Coupeville High School gym. The indoor kite flying is one of Root’s favorite events and is becoming quite popular, she said. “I don’t fly it, but I like to watch it,” she said. The event consists of flying the kites without wind — using only the fliers’ body and hand movements. The festival will offer some food options, including hotdogs provided by the Central Whidbey Lions Club and an espresso truck. There is also a raffle with items donated from individuals and businesses from all over Whidbey Island. Root said the raffle is the club’s main source of fundraising.

The giant pumpkin competition is one of the most popular events at the Harvest Fest each year.

Harvest relay boosts food bank By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Harvest Fest is a bittersweet event in some ways. It marks the end of the farmers market for the year, the end of summer, the end of the growing season. But it also can be a rather wacky festival, thanks to the annual Harvest Fest Relay Races. The races will be held around noon Saturday, Oct. 11 at the Coupeville Farmers Market. Each team should have at least five members with a $100 minimum sponsorship. However, teams of more

than five members are welcome, said Peg Tennant, market manager. Teams with four members mean one person will have to double-up. What exactly the teams will be doing remains a mystery until the event. “We try to keep it a surprise,” Tennant said. “Nobody knows what it’s going to be until they get there.” Activities will be farmand food-related. “We take that and try to get as creative as we can with it,” Tennant said. In past years, teams have tossed a fish, put on gloves and shelled Rockwell beans, pushed gourds with a broom

Relays usually last about 45 minutes, depending on how many teams sign up. Registration is being accepted now, but will be accepted up until the event. Teams should arrive at the market at 11:30 a.m. The annual event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Gifts From the Heart food bank. In the last two years, the races have raised roughly $10,000. “Not bad for a small town,” Tennant said. Gifts from the Heart serves 100-110 families in Coupeville and Greenbank. It disperses food on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month with the exception of December, when food is dispersed the first and third Wednesdays.

Event is set for Nov. 8 During spring, summer and fall, Whidbey Island is a popular choice for weddings. Sherrye Wyatt, with Whidbey and Camano Islands Tourism, says the island is known as a wedding destination. Now, she and other participants in the annual Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour want to show prospective brides and grooms just how magical a winter wedding on the island can be. The Wedding Tour, set for Nov. 8, is a showcase for all that Whidbey Island has to offer — from caterers to photographers, deejays to florists. Many vendors who participate in the Wedding Tour are coming together to throw a dream winter wedding on Whidbey for one lucky couple. All for free. “It’s a new way to showcase the region,” Wyatt said. Kim Winjum, associate publisher of Whidbey News Group and a member of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce board of directors, came up with the idea of holding a contest to help promote the island as a wedding and event destination. “I thought this was a winwin, so I went to them and I pitched the idea of having

looking forward to reading the stories submitted. “You have to encapsulate why people should care and vote for you to win your winter wedding on Whidbey,” she said. Wyatt agrees. “It will be interesting to see what kinds of people enter, where they live and what connection they already have to the island, or if they are interested because they want the wedding,” she said. Vendors involved in the tour were approached and asked if they wanted to participate in the contest. Many said “yes.” One of the main reasons given by those who declined was because they were already booked for weddings in January. “It’s a wonderful idea, Whidbey Island photographer Michael Stadler shot this 2013 wedding photo on a Holmes and it shows the generosity Harbor beach just below Freeland Hall.

Coupeville athletic teams begin fall season Soccer squad gets things started with rivalry win By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

A soccer win over rival South Whidbey highlighted the beginning of the sports year for the Coupeville High School athletic teams. The Wolves tipped visiting South Whidbey 2-1 Tuesday, Sept. 9. Coupeville, however, dropped its next match, 3-0 at Sequim Saturday, Sept. 13. The tennis team lost 5-0 at Archbishop Murphy Wednesday, Sept. 10. The volleyball team lost twice, falling 3-0 at South Whidbey Tuesday, Sept. 9, and 3-1 to visiting Friday Harbor Thursday, Sept. 11. The football team played its second game of the season and lost 40-18 to Sequim at Mickey Clark Field Friday, Sept. 12.

Soccer Wolves snap 4-year losing streak to SW The win over South Whidbey broke a four-year losing steak and gave bragging rights to the eight CHS seniors for the first time in their school careers. One of Coupeville’s youngest players, freshman Mia Littlejohn, scored both goals to do her part in helping the seniors cut the losing string. In the first half, Littlejohn scored the match’s opening goal, and South Whidbey countered with a goal just before the break. Early in the second half, Littlejohn struck again, and, from there, it was up to the Coupeville defense to hang on. Coupeville coach Troy Cowan praised the play of his entire team, especially Jennifer Spark, who had the “defensive play of the match”; Erin Rosenkranz, who “played the best match I have ever seen her play”; and Julia Myers, who “played the match of her career.” Against Sequim, Coupeville dominated the first half but found itself down 1-0 at halftime. “We played the majority of the first half on Sequim’s side of the pitch, getting several good shots on goal,” Cowan said. “Unfortunately,

we didn’t find the back of the net.” Because it was a nonleague match, Cowan took the opportunity to move some players around in the second half and “see what some of the bench players could do.” “Our new girls played well and got some much needed experience and exposure to the pitch,” he said. In particular, Cowan liked the play of Bree Daigneault, who was “incredible”; McKenzie Meyer, who “showed poise, patience and talent”; and Ana Luvera, who played forward for the first time and “did a phenomenal job.” Coupeville goes to Orcas Island for a 2:30 p.m. match Thursday, Sept. 18, and then doesn’t play again until Mount Vernon Christian visits at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30.

Tennis Curtin plays strong singles match for CHS “The day was difficult,” coach Ken Stange said in regard to the opening loss to Archbishop Murphy. “The one bright spot was Aaron Curtin’s match.” Curtin fell in first singles 6-3, 6-3 to Houston Schmutz. “He was matched up against a former South Whidbey kid,” Stange said. “They battled hard, both hitting shots in excess of 100 miles per hour. It was a bit sloppy, but very exciting.” Sebastian Davis dropped the second singles match 6-4, 1-6, 5-10. “Sebastian pushed hard,” Stange said. “He should find some improvement as the season progresses.” The Olympic League and home opener for Coupeville is at 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, against Klahowya. Other varsity results at Murphy: Doubles: 1, Loren Nelson/ Connor McCormick lost 6-1, 6-4; 2, Grey Rische/Jared Helmstadter lost 6-1, 6-2; 3, Kyle Bodamer/Joseph Wedekind lost 6-2, 6-4.

Volleyball Coupeville wins tight 3rd game with FH After being blanked 3-0 (25-8, 25-17, 25-10) at South Whidbey, the Wolves dropped the first two sets to Friday Harbor, 25-10 and 2514, before posting a thrilling 33-31 win in the third game. Friday Harbor (2-0) secured the win with a 25-18 victory in the fourth set. In the third-game win,

Coupeville’s Valen Trujillo scoops a Friday Harbor serve as Kacie Kiel looks on. Coupeville faced match point five times but rallied to take the set. Coach Breanne Smedley said her team’s play improved from the opener with South Whidbey: “We were fighting, fighting every single play. I thought we played with some heart.” She also praised the defensive play of Kacie Kiel and Valen Trujillo: “Kacie was moving all over the court; Valen was the same way. They held down the court.” On offense, Hailey Hammer “did a good job of executing,” Smedley said. “She was hitting spots.” Hammer recorded nine kills and four aces; Kiel had four kills, two blocks and 13 digs; McKenzie Bailey added four kills; Trujillo had 13 digs; Miranda Engle served two aces; and Sydney Autio had nine assists. Smedley called the loss

to South Whidbey “a good learning experience.” She added, “We gave away points with unforced errors and not being able to execute plays.” Hammer led the Coupeville offense with five kills and Kiel added three. Kiel topped the Wolves in digs with six; Trujillo had five. Tiffany Briscoe provided two service aces. Coupeville (0-2) travels to Orcas Island (0-0) for a 2:30 p.m. match Thursday, Sept. 18, and takes part in the South Whidbey Invitational at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 20.

Football Wolves let chances slip away in loss to Sequim Sequim took advantage of its opportunities and Coupeville didn’t in the 40-18 loss.

The game was closer than the scoreboard indicated, according to Coupeville coach Tony Maggio. Down 34-18 midway through the fourth quarter, Coupeville dropped a pass in the end zone that had the potential to make it a onepossession game and turn the momentum toward Coupeville. Earlier in the quarter, an untouched Coupeville runner fumbled on the way to an apparent touchdown, Maggio said. Coupeville also came up with four turnovers but couldn’t turn the Sequim mistakes into enough points. It was that kind of night for the home team. The game was basically decided in the second quarter when Sequim outscored Coupeville 20-0. Coupeville scored first in the opening quarter on

a 27-yard field gaol by Joel Walstad. Later in the period, Sequim scored on a short run to take the lead, 7-3. Then came Sequim’s big second quarter, highlighted by Chris Whitaker’s 89-yard interception return for a touchdown with just seconds left in the period. Sequim (2-0) led 27-3 at the break. Coupeville outscored Sequim 15-13 in the second half, but the damage was done. Walstad tossed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Josh Bayne in the third quarter and then booted the extra point. Lathom Kelley rushed in from the 6-yard line to score in the fourth period, and Walstad threw to C.J. Smith for the two-point conversion. Sequim did a good job of bottling up Coupeville running game, Maggio said, so Coupeville turned to air. Walstad fired 45 passes, completing 21 for 272 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Smith caught five of the passes for 96 yards, Bayne nabbed five for 86 yards and Ryan Griggs had four catches for 56 yards. Bayne finished with 46 rushing yards on eight carries. Jacob Martin was next in yardage with 16 on seven carries. As a team, Coupeville picked up only 77 yards on 24 tries. Bayne recorded a strong defensive game with 12 tackles (10 solo), an interception and a fumble recovery. He also ran down a Sequim runner who was about to score, punching the ball loose and out of the end zone for a touchback. Kelley collected 14 tackles and caused and recovered a fumble. Jacob Martin and Oscar Liquidano each had nine tackles, Gabe Wynn recovered a fumble, and Matt Shank blocked an extra point. “All-and-all, it was fine,” Maggio said about his team’s performance. “We dropped a few balls, but overall we did OK.” Coupeville suited only 16 players for the game. One of the Wolves’ top players, Wiley Hesselgrave, missed the game with a shoulder injury but should be back for the next game, Maggio said. He also expects three or four more to return in two weeks. Coupeville (1-1) plays its first Olympic League game when it hosts Chimacum (0-2) at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

WSU: Port says it must wait until new management group chosen

Megan Hansen photo

Rosalind Dailey Rohrer, volunteer site manager for the Coupeville Senior Services meal program, said she serves 16-24 seniors each week.

From page 1

HUB: Senior activities come in Oct. From page 1 turned away. Already in the line up for October will be musical performances by local musicians, pumpkin painting crafts and educational programs focused on skin and hearing health. Conard said the HUB will offer the fun activities, but also has the benefit offering seniors some of the health and education programs Se-

nior Services offers. Pastor Jin Ming Ma, from Coupeville United Methodist Church, will also be offering a program called Sit & Stay Fit the first and third Fridays of the month. And, of course, Bingo will still be offered monthly. Cantrell said she’s already surveyed attendees on what kinds of activities they’d like to see and she’s open to any suggestions. “The sky’s the limit on what we can do,” she said.

All meals and programs are held at the Methodist church on North Main Street. The meal begins at noon and all programming begins at 1 p.m. “I’m delighted the church is making the space available,” Conard said. “It’s great we’re able to create this program without having to fund a building. It’s perfect utilization.” n Check out the first Coupeville HUB events calendar on page 5.

Touchdown to great subscription savings

“I was disappointed in the response,” said Island County WSU Extension Director Tim Lawrence. “It seems they left the door open, but not very wide.” The port is juggling budgetary priorities under their ever-tightening funding constraints. Greenbank Farm has a problematic sewage system that will need an overhaul, and the Coupeville Wharf has been wracked with storm- and age-related maintenance problems over the last year. The port has only $180,000 in its undedicated fund, which it needs to last the next three years until the current bond for Greenbank Farm is repaid. Currently, the port pays approximately $106,000 annually on the bond. Lawrence said that WSU’s vision for Greenbank Farm will likely take several years to realize, so getting started soon is key. “They don’t see a vision,” Lawrence said. The WSU vision includes expansion of the school’s curriculums in agriculture, food systems and hospitality to Greenback farm. Students could attend courses in on-site classrooms, receive valuable hands-on experience, com-

plete internships and earn small farming certifications, according to Lawrence. “I think it’s a great opportunity for Whidbey Island to have a permanent four-year school here,” said Port of Coupeville Executive Director Tim McDonald. However, he said, the port is not in a position to discuss the WSU proposal until their current lease agreement with the Greenbank Farm Management Group expires in June 2015 and a new farm manager is selected. “It’s really not the time,” McDonald said. McDonald said the port is accepting management applications through Sept. 24, but hasn’t received any applications as of press time Tuesday. McDonald said he thinks the port commissioners’ response to WSU, written by Commissioner Mike Diamanti, was positive. “I think the port board is enthusiastic about working with WSU to establish a significant presence at Greenbank Farm,” McDonald said. “But there are business issues that need to be taken care of first.” Island County Economic Development Council Director Ron Nelson said that these types of educational positions would inject good,

professional-wage jobs into the county that fit with its rural character and charm. Making Greenbank Farm more of an educational facility would create revenue during the island’s nontourism months, Nelson said. Plus it would diversify the types of revenue coming into the local economy, which currently balances precariously between the Navy base and home construction. “We really need to diversify,” Nelson said. Nelson said he understands the port’s hesitance to jump on the bandwagon. “They have a fiscal responsibility,” Nelson said. “They’re saying, ‘We have a money problem,’ and that’s fair. However, we have other opportunities. How do we make this a win-win for the current tenants, the county and Greenbank Farm?” For example, the port could use rural development funds to assist Greenbank in building necessary infrastructure and fix the sewage problems currently faced by the farm, Nelson said. “There’s a lot of positive potential. “It is so tough to grow the appropriate businesses in Island County,” Nelson said. “It’s very, very hard, but this fits.”

TOWN OF COUPEVILLE

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING Island County Hearing Room Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014 6:30 pm

MEETING CANCELLED

*************** THE NEXT REGULAR TOWN COUNCIL MEETING WILL BE ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2014

Peaceful Valley Park and Sunset Terrace Park. It also covers walking trails along Parker Road and in Krueger Woods. One place it does not cover is the Community Green. Conard said that is because it is not identified as a park or trail in town code. It could be included in the future, she said. The primary enforcement of the new ordinance will be signage, but if residents are caught in violation, they could face a $100 fine. Smoking is already prohibited in and around town-owned buildings and

facilities. While the first reading of the ordinance has been held, Conard said she isn’t quite sure when the second reading will be. The Sept. 23 council meeting is being cancelled due to lack of quorum. The town is looking at options for holding a special meeting at the end of the month, but no date has been set. If the ordinance is not scheduled during that special meeting, it will most likely be read during the first regular meeting in October. Conard said signs could start going up as soon as midOctober.
