Later this month, the corn maze at Engle Farm will be filled with all kinds of spooky personalities thanks to the Coupeville High School Drama Troupe. The haunted maze will run 5-8 p.m. Oct. 17-19, Oct. 24-26 and Oct. 31.

Community rallies for October fun By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Not many people would want their dreams to become reality around a spooky holiday like Halloween. They might just be nightmares. But for Coupeville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Linda Eccles, she’s ecstatic to see her Halloween dreams of ghosts and goblins come to fruition. Eccles dreamed of having a communitywide event, and with the help of local businessman Matt Iverson and others, the Haunting of Coupeville is coming alive this month. “So many people are just getting involved and enjoying the whole thing,” Eccles said. “It’s really exciting to see.” The haunting will feature events and activities all month long — from corn mazes and pumpkin patches to parades and haunted houses. The town has always hosted a scarecrow corridor and Sherman Farms has always done a pumpkin patch. Eccles said she was brainstorming ideas on ways to expand on that.

More details inside — Pumpkin patch — Corn maze — Great Pumpkin Race — Scarecrow Corridor — Events calendar That’s when Iverson came up with the idea of having a corn maze at Engle Farm and the ideas just started pouring in. “It was great how everything came together,” Eccles said. “Matt’s really been the driving force.” And help is coming from all corners of the community. The Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association is hosting multiple events including pumpkin races and a carved pumpkin contest. Crocket Farm is hosting a Halloween dance and Haunted Barn. The art school will host pumpkin painting and the library is holding a costumed pet

parade. The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club is hosting a costume 5K run. Members and groups from all over the community are getting involved. Students from Coupeville High School’s wood shop class helped cut out directional scarecrow signs and tombstones. The high school drama troupe will be haunting the corn maze at night. Students are getting excited about the haunting and coming up with ideas for characters and playing with stage makeup. Drama troupe advisor Peg Tennant said

The Coupeville ferry was temporarily out of service last Thursday after crews found broken terminal equipment. Washington State Ferries spokeswoman Marta Coursey said around 10:30 a.m. crews discovered movement in the transfer span and apron at the terminal. The transfer span is the part of the terminal that cars drive over to board the vessel. “Crews immediately launched a rescue boat, which found several bolts connecting the apron hinge were sheared off or broken,” she said. The terminal was shut down for several hours, resuming limited service at 1:15 p.m. Vehicle weight restrictions were limited to 32,000 pounds and loading and unloading was limited to single-lane travel. During the closure, ferries missed eight sailings between 10:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. “Overnight temporary repairs were made to the transfer span, restoring full, two-lane loading without weight restrictions,” Coursey said Friday. The temporary repairs consisted of crews reinforcing the hinges with bolts. A draft to make permanent repairs is currently in the works. “The plan will be reviewed and implemented as soon as possible,” Coursey said. “In the meantime, Washington State Ferries is confident the temporary repairs will allow full access from Coupeville without weight or loading restrictions.” Terminal staff have a system in place for checking the terminal every week. Coursey said they will ensure extra diligence in reviewing the checks and balances in place on the apron mechanism.

Treasurer candidates differ on management styles By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Attendance and accuracy seem to be the top two issues for former coworkers and Island County treasurer candidates Wanda Grone and Ana Maria Nuñez. Grone, who was fired by Nuñez when she filed to run, has been critical of Nuñez’s leadership style and frequent absences over the last year. “You have to discourage this finger-pointing attitude; you have to have consistent instructions. ... Every employee should receive exactly the same type of treatment,” said Grone, who is running as a Republican, in a Thursday interview. “Everyone should be able to come in everyday know what they have to do, do their work and go home.” Incumbent Democrat Nuñez said that while Grone was a good accountant, she had her own shortcomings. “The impression has been given, and it’s very, very annoying, that my opponent was the perfect employee… that there were not issues in the office involving her job,” Nuñez said. “That is absolutely not true. Did she make mistakes? Yes she did.” Grone said she believes her own leadership style of consistent attendance and working closely with staff will serve Island County residents better. “I like to lead by example; I would do the work and I was there every day,” Grone said. “When I left I had 140 hours of accumulated leave. That’s because I was there every day. I like going to work.” Nuñez is unapologetic for the time she has missed over the last two years due to a family emergency, vacation and holidays. Nuñez’s first four-year term has been riddled with errors within her office, including clean water utility billing problems, tax state-

“The biggest thing is I intend to be there. I think that’s the biggest difference,” Grone said. “I think that’s a big responsibility for the elected official to be there. That’s the biggest problem that the office has.” Nuñez said if reelected, she plans to restructure her office and place a manager over collections and a man-

ment formatting mistakes and a $1 million loss in county investments. Between issues at work and illnesses in her family, Nuñez admits “this has not been a good year for me.” However, she said she doesn’t believe her absences have affected her ability to run her office. “These errors happened when I was sitting at my

desk,” Nuñez said. “They didn’t happen when I was away… I am entitled to vacation like everyone, and I’m not going to apologize for taking my vacation.” Grone, who was also working in the treasurer’s office when these errors occurred, said she tried to advise Nuñez more than once to make different decisions but was ignored.

“She wanted to make decisions herself. ... You can only be a porcupine so many times,” Grone said. “I think she likes to have control. It’s not always consistent — that was part of my dissatisfaction.” Grone said the $1 million investment loss last year was the result of a “rookie mistake” on Nuñez’s part. Nuñez said the county’s portfolio is “at the mercy of the market” and that the two years prior to 2013, the county experienced market gains. Nuñez said that other municipalities had also experienced a loss last year so she “wasn’t standing alone.” “So the prior two years when I had a fair-market gain I had experience, but last year I lost experience?” Nuñez argued. Grone said she believes she would do a better job of investing the county’s assets, but Nuñez said she lacks the appropriate experience. Claiming that Nuñez has been out of the office roughly 50 percent of the time, Grone said her strength will be showing up.

ager over investments to increase oversight. In addition, she said she hope to improve communication in her office. “I’m asking them to be more frank with me,” Nuñez said. “Don’t think you’re going to hurt my feelings if things aren’t running as smoothly as you think it could be. Because that doesn’t help anybody.”

October promises to be a month of fun and giving back It was exciting to see the directional scarecrows going up around town this week indicating the start of the Haunting of Coupeville. For the first time ever, members from all over the community are collaborating on bringing fun events all month long. The Whidbey Examiner has hopped on the Haunting bandwagon and partnered with the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce to bring you the Where’s Ebey contest. Ebey the Scarecrow will be moving around the community every Wednesday and Saturday this month. On page 3, you will find the first two clues to the first two locations he will be this week. Clues will be released every Wednesday in the Examiner and at www.whidbeyexaminer.com When you figure out where he is, take a picture with him and post it on our or the chamber’s Facebook pages or email it to us with your name and contact information. Submitting a photo enters you to win a $100 prize. One entry per person, per location. This is just one of the ways various groups and businesses are partnering this month. Teams are still forming and raising money for the Harvest Fest Relay Races, which are a little more than a week away. One team is stepping up its fundraising game with the help of a matching donor. The Coupeville High School Drama Troupe, which is sponsored annually by the historic waterfront association, has raised more than $5,000. An anonymous donor stepped up and offered to match every dollar 1:2 up to $10,000. This week, Vickie Chambers from the association said another donor stepped up to match another $5,000 raised 1:1. All funds raised for the relays goes to Gifts from the Heart food bank. This is going to be a magical month full of fun and giving back in all aspects of the community.

Don’t let GOP continue to gop-up government Editor, As we approach another election, it is incumbent on us in the electorate to be sure we don’t allow the GOP to continue to gop-up the government. During the last six years, the GOP used every devious ploy to keep the government from running properly. From not confirming presidential appointments to filibustering every piece of progressive legislation put before

it, even legislation that was first proposed by them. They do this not for the sake of the people, but just to embarrass the president at the expense of the people, which their leadership has clearly stated. The GOP continues to use this ploy not only on the national stage, but also in state and local government. This is a terrible waste of taxpayer revenue, having a government that we pay for accomplishing nothing. The GOP makes sure your tax dollars are wasted. We must not let this continue. They try, in every way, to suppress voter

turnout. They use the mega-dollars of their corporate overlords to buy elections with misleading ads. Fortunately, so far, corporations can’t vote, but people can. Corporations are not people, my friend. I implore every registered voter to vote in this election and un-gop our government at every level. Remember, when you hear GOP, think gop. Be an ever-loving gop-stopper. Vote Democratic.

Newfound respect for plants’ defenses

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc Plants are not as dumb as they look. At least to me, plants have never seemed like the brightest bulb in the box. They stand around, looking green, hoping for a sunny day but not able to walk, talk or turn on the TV. However, because of a recent university press release, I’ve got to

rethink my attitudes about vegetation. Two scientists at the University of Missouri, Heidi Appel and Rex Cocroft, studied a plant called Arabidopsis. That’s a common experimental plant, used by researchers because it’s fast growing and a great deal is known about it. Arabidopsis is a flowering plant that you can think of as a cousin to mustard and cabbage. The researchers let caterpillars feed on a group of Arabidopsis plants. Using special devices, they recorded the sounds or vibrations made by the insects chewing on the leaves. Next, Appel and Cocroft and their team took two new sets of plants and separated them. To one set, they played back recordings of the sounds and vibrations the insects

had made as they fed on the Arabidopsis leaves. To the second set of plants, they played back a silent tape — in other words, this second set of plants was the “control” in their experiment. Then the team let caterpillars feed on both sets of plants. Results showed that the Arabidopsis that had been exposed to the sounds of the insects feeding on leaves had more mustard oils in their leaves than did the control group. Mustard oils are chemicals many insects don’t like and will avoid. “What is remarkable is that the plants exposed to different vibrations, including those made by a gentle wind or different insect sounds… did not increase their chemical defenses,” Cocroft said in a press release. “This indicates that the plants are able to distinguish feeding vibra-

tions from other common sources of environmental vibration.” Plants really are not dim bulbs. “Plants have many ways to detect insect attack,” Cocroft said in the press release. “But [insect] feeding vibrations are likely the fastest way for distant parts of the plant to perceive the attack and begin to increase their defenses.” Next steps for the researchers include learning more about exactly how vibrations are sensed by the plants and what parts of the complex sounds may be the most important. The results of this type of work are not just academic. A long way down the road, such research may be able to improve crop plants, giving them a natural way to boost their own defenses against

insect pests. “Caterpillars react to this chemical defense by crawling away, so using vibrations to enhance plant defenses could be useful to agriculture,” Appel said. “This research opens the window of plant behavior a little wider, showing that plants have many of the same responses to outside influences that animals do, even though the responses look different.” I’ve got a new respect for plants — and the researchers who are learning surprising things about them. Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist at Princeton and Harvard.

Conference digs deeper into history ‘Discover Ebey’s’ centers on stories within the reserve By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

No place in Washington exists where one can find more structures still standing from the Territorial Era than in Coupeville. Lynn Hyde, interpretation specialist with Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, said she is aware of about 30 such structures erected during that period from 1850-1875 that have been preserved and are still upright. All fall within the boundaries of the reserve, the National Park Service unit put in place in 1978 to help preserve the historic landscape. It’s that sort of historical fact and more that Hyde and others plan to share during the 2014 Ebey’s Conference, “Discover Ebey’s,” from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, at Coupeville High School. The mission for this year’s conference is to explore the history of the land and communities within the reserve. “When we interpret our

history in Coupeville it tends to be the Victorian era,” Hyde said. “What’s unusual about this place is there’s a whole generation older than Victorian.” Talks will range from a study of Native American settlements on Penn Cove to a panel discussion tackling the issues of preservation, privacy and tourism. The conference, which costs $40 with an additional $12 for lunch, will include two speaker sessions covering six different topics. After lunch, attendees may attend one of three field trips offered. Hyde said the Ebey’s Conference is back after a twoyear break related to staff changes. It started in 2008 as part of the reserve’s 30th anniversary of being designated the only unit of its kind in the National Park system. “It’s a little bit different this year,” Hyde said. “In past years, we had a little bit more focus on agriculture and land use.”

Lynn Hyde, interpretation specialist with Ebey’s Landing National historical Reserve, said this Saturday’s Ebey’s Conference will focus on historical aspects of the land and people within the reserve. In the background is the Ferry House, built in 1860. Now, the conference is focusing on an integral part of what got the reserve designated as a National Park unit in the first place — its history. Col. Isaac Ebey became the first permanent white settler on Whidbey Island in 1850, and the landing and prairie that bear his name remain largely unchanged 164 years later.

When Ebey and wife Rebecca claimed the 640 acres they got as part of the 1850 Donation Land Claim Act, their land was still part of Oregon Territory. It switched to Washington Territory in 1853. Hyde and Sarah Steen, preservation coordinators with the reserve, will team up to give a presentation that will focus on the Territorial

Era in Central Whidbey and the settlement of Coveland that stood where San de Fuca sits today. The title for their presentation is “Port Townsend to Coveland: Revealing the World of Territorial Whidbey.” Hyde said white settlement in Central Whidbey initially congregated largely

in Coveland around Penn Cove, then migrated toward Coupeville. She said some of Coupeville’s oldest structures that still stand today were moved from Coveland. She said an example is the Fairhaven log structure, which was built in 1852. It is Coupeville’s oldest standing structure, Hyde said. “The name of the conference is ‘Discover Ebey’s,’” she said. “The whole idea is there’s a lot of hidden significance here that most people who live here aren’t aware of.” Other topics Saturday will be a presentation about Scott Grimm’s accounts of raising what might be the lost anchor of Capt. George Vancouver’s consort ship, Chatham. The anchor was raised in waters off the west side of Whidbey Island in June. The keynote speaker will be Nancy Nelson of Concord, Mass. Nelson has been superintendent of Minute Man National Historical Park near Boston, for 21 years. She will address the challenges she has faced at Minute Man. Registration for the conference is available online at www.nps.gov/ebla or by calling the reserve’s Trust Board at 360-678-6084.

New wildlife regulations please nobody By Janis Reid Staff reporter

No one is happy with fish and wildlife protection regulations approved Sept. 22, but Island County commissioners are saying they’re a starting point. “I understand people’s frustration with this,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said. “I straight up get it.” The ordinance update was required as part of the state’s Growth Management Act and the county has held

1X1 SUPPORT PAGE SPOT............ 35.00

a total of 30 public meetings over the last year. Its aim is to protect the state’s fish and wildlife such as salmon bearing streams and wetlands. Farmers have been unhappy with the update because they need to be able to maintain irrigation ditches that may also require strict governmental oversight due to the presence of crucial wetlands or animal habitat. Farmers pressed commissioners to provide an exemption for existing and ongoing agriculture but county

staff said such an exemption would run afoul of the state requirements. “I can’t believe you guys are trying to regulate the ongoing and existing agriculture so much,” said Central Whidbey farmer Len Engle Monday. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson stressed that this update begins the larger process of updating the county’s Comprehensive Plan when the issues raised can be reviewed and updated if needed.

Pumpkin race requires creativity, practice By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Winning Coupeville’s first-ever Great Pumpkin Race may come down to ingenuity. “The key is those straight axels,” said Vickie Chambers, executive director of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association. Chambers, along with her husband and other association members, have been testing different strategies on building the perfect pumpkin racer. But there’s still time to beat them.

The races will be held 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19 near Alexander and Front streets. First runs will start at 2 p.m. Bring your pumpkin ready to race. Squash will also be allowed. Elimination rounds start at 3 p.m., with finals starting at 4 p.m. There aren’t many rules to building your pumpkin racer. “Really the only rule is the axels have to go through the pumpkin,” Chambers said. “The pumpkin can’t sit on it.” Chambers said she and her husband have tried all different types of materials, from steel rods to

Wolves take lead By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

The Coupeville football team collected a surprising 29-21 home win over Port Townsend Friday, Sept. 26, to take over first place in the Olympic League 1A division. For the Wolves’ tennis and volleyball teams, the week didn’t go as well. The tennis team lost two nonleague matches, while the volleyball team fell 3-1 to Mount Vernon Christian.

Football Coupeville scores early, holds on for big win Coupeville’s offense dominated the first half; its defense took over late. Port Townsend (1-1, 2-2) was the preseason favorite to win the fourteam 1A division of the Olympic League, but the Wolves’ win now makes Coupeville the early front runner. Coupeville (2-0, 3-1) already defeated Chimacum (0-2, 0-4) and now faces the other 1A team, Klahowya (1-1, 1-3), at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, in Silverdale in the final game of the first round. The 1A teams will play each other again to complete the conference schedule. Coupeville sprinted to a 29-7 lead over Port Townsend then used four second-half interceptions to

thwart the Redhawks’ comeback. Lathom Kelley started the Coupeville scoring with a rushing touchdown midway through the first period. Joel Walstad added the PAT. Port Townsend answered on its next possession, then the Wolves began to pull away. First, Walstad bulled in on a quarterback sneak. Then Coupeville coach Tony Maggio got sneaky, calling for a fake punt. Kelley bolted 46 yards for a touchdown on the play. Matt Shank continued to demoralize the Redhawks by recording a safety. Kelley picked up his third touchdown on an eight-yard run, and the stunned Redhawks trailed 29-7. PT managed to score just before the half, then it made things interesting after the break. Driving for a potential tying score late in the game, Port Townsend was turned back with two minutes left as Josh Bayne picked off his second pass of the game to preserve the Coupeville win. Brothers C.J. and Hunter Smith also snared interceptions for the Wolves. Bayne (nine tackles, eight solo), Wiley Hesselgrave (seven tackles, six solo) and Walstad (fumble recovery) aided the strong Coupeville defensive effort. Kelley and Bayne fueled the of-

Bayne also went over the century mark, amassing 144 yards on 18 carries. Six different runners helped the Wolves pile up 376 rushing yards. Walstad hit six of nine passes for 102 yards before leaving with an injury. C.J. Smith filled in nicely, connecting on two of his three passes for 12 yards. Ryan Griggs led the receivers with five catches for 80 yards. Coupeville lost two fumbles in the game. While the Wolves were generating 490 yards of offense, they were limiting the Redhawks to 246.

Tennis Wolves lose to ATM, South Whidbey

Coupeville’s Lathom Kelley splits two Chimacum defenders in a game earlier this season. Kelley scored three touchdowns in the Wolves’ win over Port Townsend Friday.

Despite showing improvement, the Coupeville High School tennis team lost twice last week in nonleague matches, falling 6-1 to visiting Archbishop Murphy Wednesday, Sept. 24, and 4-1 at South Whidbey Thursday, Sept. 25. The Wolves posted a strong showing in singles and picked up their first win of the year in first doubles. First singles Aaron Curtin played well in losses to two quality opponents, and second singles Sebastian Davis lost twice in three sets. Coach Ken Stange called Curtin’s match against Archbishop Murphy “an exciting match that featured two players with fast serves

and huge ground strokes” and said Davis is “moving closer to that big win.” Curtin’s and Davis’ matches against South Whidbey “were certainly within reach,” Stange said. Kyle Bodamer was a part of both wins for Coupeville. Competing in singles for the first time this year, Bodamer won 6-3, 7-6(7-5) in third singles against Archbishop Murphy. Teaming with Loren Nelson, Bodamer won in first doubles over South Whidbey 4-6, 7-6(9-7), 6-3. The Wolves (0-4) go to Port Townsend/Chimacum (1-2) at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2. Coupeville results: Archbishop 6, Coupeville 1 Singles: 1, Curtin lost 6-4, 6-2; 2, Davis lost 6-4, 4-6, 10-4; 3, Bodamer won 6-2, 7-6(7-5). Doubles: Connor McCormick/ Nelson lost 6-2, 6-1; 2, Joseph Wedekind/John McClarin lost 6-1, 6-4; 3, Jared Helmstadter/Grey Rische lost 6-1, 6-2; 4, William Nelson/Joey Lippo lost 4-6, 6-3, 10-7. South Whidbey 4, Coupeville 1 Singles: 1, Curtin lost 7-6(7-2), 6-4; 2, Davis lost 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Doubles: 1, Bodamer/Nelson won 4-6, 7-6(9-7), 6-3; 2, McCormick/Rische lost 6-2, 6-3; 3, Wedekind/John McClarin lost 6-0, 6-0.

Volleyball Coupeville can’t hold lead in loss to MVC After winning the first set, the Coupeville High School volleyball team couldn’t keep the momentum and lost 3-1 to visiting Mount Vernon Christian Thursday, Sept. 25. The Hurricanes pulled out the

win 21-25, 25-9, 25-10, 25-19. The two teams were tied 20-20 in the first set, then the Wolves finished strong for the 25-21 win. That burst at the end quickly disappeared as Mount Vernon Christian (4-1) jumped to a 7-0 lead in game two and cruised to the win. Game three followed a similar pattern as the Hurricanes raced to 7-1 and 10-2 leads. In the fourth set, Coupeville finally matched its first-set effort. Trailing by several points during the first half of the game, the Wolves battled back to a 17-17 tie. MVC scored six straight to hold off the Coupeville charge. “Mount Vernon Christian really picked up the speed of its offense after the first set,” coach Breanne Smedley said. “We didn’t see much of that in the first game.” “In the first game we did a good job of controlling the ball and playing at our pace,” she added. After that, the Wolves put together several “good strings,” Smedley said, “but we couldn’t string enough of those together to get momentum.” Smedley started two freshmen and a sophomore and tried a new configuration of players. “We are working through that,” she said. Hailey Hammer recorded nine kills with only one hitting error. Madeline Strasburg added three kills, four aces and 11 digs; MaKenzie Bailey had three kills; Valen Trujillo had 13 digs; and Lauren Rose had four digs and 15 assists. Coupeville (0-4) wraps up the non-league portion of its schedule when it hosts Bellevue Christian (41) at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7.

seem to really enjoy the time they get with their Buddies as well as reliving some of their elementary days.” Hargrave called the interaction with the high school players “fun,” especially when they “eat lunch with us and play at recess.” “They don’t get to stay very long,” Gustafson lamented, “because they have to get back to school.” Any minutes the high school and elementary students can spend together, according to Smedley and Gabelein, will be beneficial minutes for both groups.

ABOVE: Gwen Gustafson cheers at the Wolves’ volleyball match Thursday. BELOW: High-schooler McKenzie Bailey spends time at lunch with Sadie Sumner, left, and Lita Woollet.

One of the goals of the program is to give youngsters access to volleyball at an early age, Smedley said, and to develop long-term growth as a player. “Elementary students who have a positive interaction with a high school athlete are more likely to choose to play a sport when they have the opportunity to do so,” Smedley said. “Athletics benefit students academically, cognitively and socially, and if students are gaining interest in sports at a young age, they have a better chance to experience these benefits as they go through school.” Gabelein sees the program as a way to “provide our students with an additional positive role model who can provide motivation toward making positive choices.” Smedley said the hope is the Buddies will benefit from meeting the high school players on a consistent one-onone basis. “The volleyball players will gain leadership skills and benefit from the accountability of having a Buddy look up to them during the season,” Smedley said. The players and their Buddies share lunch and recess time once a week. This allows them, Smedley said, to share common interests and “relate to each other’s experiences in school and life.” The Buddies are invited to all home volleyball matches, take part in pre-game activities and sit in a reserved section behind the team’s bench. “The feedback has been very positive so far,” Smedley said. “The volleyball players

“She’s like my best friend,” Gwen Gustafson and Emma Hargrave said almost simultaneously. “Like a sister,” Madalynn Georges chipped in. This is the type of relationship Coupeville High School volleyball coach Breanne Smedley and Jon Gabelein of Coupeville Elementary School envisioned when they started the Wolf Buddy program. The program partners elementary students like Gustafson, Hargrave and Georges with members of the high school volleyball team. All Coupeville fourth and fifth graders were eligible to join Wolf Buddies. Forty-two

applied (with parent permission) and were matched up, based on interests and hobbies, with one of the 24 volleyball players, according to Gabelein. “Many elementary students look up to the high school students as role models,” Smedley said. “Wolf Buddies allows these students to have positive and encouraging interactions with these athletes. “It also allows high school athletes to accept the responsibility of being a role model in our community and use this to positively impact younger students.” Studies shave shown that students involved in activities have better grades, attendance and behavior than those who don’t.

stuff Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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.

Farms offering outdoor thrills By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

During the month of October, residents and guests will be able to visit a corn maze and pumpkin patch most days of the week. Sherman Pioneer Farms will host its annual pumpkin patch, complete with trolley rides and children’s activities. Located at Terry and Ebey roads, the pumpkin patch will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays through Saturdays starting Oct. 4. Trolley rides will be first come, first serve and usually take about 30 minutes. The trolley will be available Fridays and Saturdays or by appointment during the week. With the purchase of the ride, you get to choose a pumpkin. There will also be a straw maze for younger children and pumpkin chuckin’. New this year is the corn maze and haunted corn maze at Engle Farm.

The regular maze will run daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost is $5 and free for children younger than 8. Maze may be completed with or without a map. The last three weekends of the month will feature a haunted corn maze 5-8 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. The Coupeville High School Drama Troupe is busy perfecting characters, makeup and haunting tactics. “I’m excited to watch people run away,” said ninth grader Ashley Smith. “I don’t get scared easily. “For some reason I find it amusing watching someone run.” While they don’t want to give too much away, advisor Peg Tennant said students are creating a different scenario for each night the haunted maze runs. Visitors can come every single night and it will be a different experience. “This time we get to actually play around with it,”

Haunting: Dream becomes a reality From page 1

students are actually creating characters and various scenarios to provide variety each night the haunted maze runs. “That’s what I mean about having a community event,” Eccles said. “It was a whole melting pot of ideas.” While there are new events in the month of October, there are also some of the traditional events residents have grown to anticipate, like the Harvest Fest Relay Races with its giant pumpkin contest and the Halloween Torchlight Parade. There’s something for just about everyone. “A dream became a reality for me,” Eccles said. “I love fall, and I wanted to have things to attract the locals, but also people from off-island. “I hope it brings a smile to people’s faces.”

Tennant said. “They’ll be creating theme and scenario. We have a life-sized Victorian coffin, which may or may not show up.” And for the adults… “We might just have an IRS agent show up,” Tennant said.
