Officials unprepared for zombie apocalypse By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Officials in Central Whidbey aren’t exactly on the same page when it comes to preparing for a zombie apocalypse. Mayor Nancy Conard, for example, takes the approach of the head-in-the-sand mayor from “Jaws.” “There are no zombies in Coupeville,” she said. Which leaves residents at high risk from the walking and brain-munching dead. Trulia, the online real estate site, recently ranked cities by their zombie survivability. While Coupeville didn’t make the list, it’s clear from the criteria that it’s not a safe place to sit out the slow-motion Armageddon. Trulia reports that Honolulu is the worst place to be in the nation when the zombies attack, partly because it’s on an island. Which doesn’t bode well for the smallest town on Whidbey Island either. In addition, Coupeville is a “walkable”

Sightings raise UFO alarm By Michelle Beahm Staff Reporter

In late August, Diane Stetner saw something in the sky that she couldn’t identify. Driving south between Greenbank and Bayview, Stetner looked up and saw big, bright lights. “The reason why it caught my eye is because I have seen those same type of bright lights in New Mexico,” Stetner said. “They looked exactly the same.” The bright lights, she said, made news in New Mexico and were labeled as UFOs. That’s right. Unidentified flying objects. Stetner isn’t the first — or likely the last — person to see unusual lights in the sky over Central Whidbey. Just before Christmas last year, a couple in the Sierra neighborhood saw some-

Blue Goose Inn owner David Broberg checks in a guest at his Coupeville B&B. Since he and his wife, Becky, took over ownership two years ago, the pair and guests have experienced strange occurrences such as the these candlesticks flying across the room.

Ghostly guest startles inn staff Blue Goose owners befuddled over strange happenings By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

With all of the haunted fun in Coupeville this month, Blue Goose Inn Owners David and Becky Broberg may be living the real deal. The first weekend in October, the kickoff to the Haunting of Coupeville, the inn owners and staff say they may have had a visitor from the other side. It was Sunday morning and all of the guests had checked out for the weekend. Becky Broberg said she sent her cleaning staff to the second floor of the Kineth House, one of two historic homes that make up the inn. “Two of them came back down and said, ‘Are you sure everyone left?’” Becky Broberg recalled.

THE WOMEN said as they climbed the stairs to the second floor to find a tall, thin man wearing a light jacket and bowler hat. He was standing on the landing at the top of the stairs as they passed. The inn is secured with locks that only guests and staff have access to. People cannot just come in and out as they please. “I checked every person out that day,” Becky Broberg said. “I watched them all drive away. When they tell you there’s a man in the house, we have to take that seriously.” BECKY SAID she went upstairs to check on the man, but he was not there. The staff members asked the third cleaning woman who was still upstairs if she had seen the man.

He was pacing in the Mount Baker Room, she told them, so they went to look. No one was there. And no one heard the front door open or close. THIS ISN’T the first odd experience for the Brobergs or their guests during the two years the couple has owned the inn. Guests have reported hearing noises in the middle of the night, the smell of cooking at strange times and even objects moving. While Becky said she believes there may be something supernatural at work, David Broberg does his best to debunk the claims —

Coupeville woman communicates with dead Medium uses ability to make ghostly house calls for more than 30 years By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

When Donna Raymond visits places that scare the daylights out of the typical person, she prefers complete darkness. Claiming to have a paranormal gift that allows her to sense a spirit’s presence and communicate with it, she’s been called to more than 100 sites of alleged hauntings in hopes to not only explain what’s taking place, but ideally to make it stop. Yet, walking into strange homes, churches, offices or institutions to face the source of another’s deathly fears doesn’t rattle the Coupeville resident. What scares her most is something much more simple. “People,” she said. “Close-minded people. “This (a ghost) I can understand. There’s no way for a spirit to sneak up on me. I know where they’re at. I know when they’re coming close. People can sneak up on me. Spirits not at all. This is normal for me.” Raymond, 53, has been making ghostly house calls for more than 30 years.

Donna Raymond has been able to communicate with dead since she was a young girl. She uses her sensitivity to spirits to both explain unusual phenomena and educate others on how to become attuned to the spirit world. She said she was born with the ability to communicate with the spirit world and spent decades in her home state of California being hired to explain the unexplained. What scared her as a child, she ultimately embraced and turned into a

teaching opportunity on a subject she says people shouldn’t fear. She took a break from investigating spirits since moving to Whidbey Island two years ago because of the emotional toll it took on her and so she could devote more time to her family. Feeling refreshed, she is entertaining her options, even thinking of educating people about what she knows and leading tours next year.

She led ghost walks in downtown Benicia, Calif., for two years before she came to Whidbey. “What I like to do is get groups together and get people to open up and communicate with spirits and find out that it’s not scary, everybody can do it. It’s just a matter of using a part of your brain that you normally wouldn’t use,” Raymond said. “It’s that intuition part, that part where you know something is a good place

or a bad place, but it’s a part of the brain that we haven’t used for, I’m sure, a long time. “Some of us are just born more open than others.” Raymond said she and a women’s group recently got together and she brought out dowsing rods and a pendulum in an attempt to communicate with spirits. “They found out it’s not scary,” she said. “You feel pretty amazing when you start communicating with people you can’t see. We had a blast.” Considered a paranormal sensitive, Raymond said she is “sensitive to energies, ghosts, any kinds of energy.” She said she rarely sees

an apparition, or full ghostlike image of a person. Instead, she concentrates on the energies she senses and in her mind sees images that take on different forms. She doesn’t ordinarily hear a voice. The communication, she said, is telepathic. “In my mind, I can see an image and it’s kind of like being a detective and putting a puzzle together,” she said. “I’ll walk into a home or a business and I’ll go through the whole place and figure out where the energies are moving. From there, I decide, ‘Is it a man? It is a woman?’ and I start asking questions about who they are, why they’re there and explaining what the situation is and why I’m there. Spirits can read our minds, so they know within seconds why I’m there. Sometimes, it’s received well and other times, it’s not.” Raymond said she isn’t worried about skeptics because she’s not trying to win anybody over. “People will only believe what they see,” she said, “and our eyes are so deceptive. “I don’t rely on my eyes. A lot of times I go into a place where it’s dark and I can’t see anything. Then I can get a clear picture in my mind what’s going on. “For the doubters, they don’t have to believe me. I’m not out to convince anybody. I’m here to help people and I’m here to help those who want help. I’m here to help the spirits. I’m here to help the living. Raymond said she’s had plenty of doubters who’ve gone on tours with her only to start opening up their minds by the end of the evening. “There’s so much of a bigger world out there that’s right in front of us,” she said. “It’s normal. It’s natural. There’s no hocus pocus. There’s no crystal ball that I look into. None of that. This is normal.”

Meteor myth debunked By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

The way Peggy DarstTownsdin sees it, Roger Sherman ought to be ashamed of himself. As a young girl growing up on Central Whidbey Island, Darst-Townsdin remembers being curious about a large crater in the land on the Sherman farm that was noticeable from State Highway 20. It’s the same hole that cows huddle around today. “I remember people said a meteor from space had landed there,” Darst-Townsdin said.

Far-fetched? Sure, but Darst-Townsdin believed the tale for decades only to learn it wasn’t the case just a few years ago. She couldn’t remember the source of the story, but a revelation this week might’ve shed some light. Sherman, a retired farmer who passed on his half of the business to his son and daughter-in-law, said the large hole is basically a gravel pit they started mining in the mid 1960s when they needed gravel on the farm. “Basically, the hill on both sides of the prairie is mostly gravel,” Sherman said. “The icebergs did that.”

But, when people inquired, to amuse himself, Sherman preferred to provide a more elaborate explanation of why the earth opened up on the farm. “My standing answer usually is, it was a meteorite,” Sherman said. “Some people actually believed it.” One of those was DarstTownsdin, a longtime friend. “I’m going get Roger!” she said. Sherman said he’s used that line for decades. “People are gullible sometimes,” he said. “If you say something with a straight face, they might believe you.”

Wind gusts Tuesday keep the cows away from the grassy area near the former gravel pit on Don and Debbie Sherman’s farmland in Coupeville. The crater was long rumored to be from a meteor.

Shank to discuss need for facilities improvement, possible levy coming Next week Coupeville schools superintendent Jim Shank will discuss the State of the Schools with a specific emphasis on facilities improvement. His presentation will be 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4 in the high school commons. He said he hopes his presentation will bring awareness to some of the needs of the district in the near future. While no formal action has been taken, Shank said the board may look at bringing a levy to the voters sometime next year. A facilities committee has been working for more than a year now on evaluating the district’s building and other facility needs. The heating and air conditioning systems in both the elementary and middle school need to be replaced; the middle school roof is beyond its lifespan and needs replacement; the plumbing and bathrooms need work in the elementary school; the elementary school parking lot is cracking and needs to be repaved and the school

needs a new coat of paint. There’s also need for the schools’ athletic facilities. Shank said the track needs work and the district would like to look at putting a restroom out at the sports fields. “There is desire from the community to have one,” Shank said. The committee would also like to complete the Engle Field, which holds baseball and soccer fields. The tennis courts also

need resurfacing and the bleachers in the high school gym need to be replaced. Shank said he will include a slideshow during his presentation to highlight some of these needs. “It’s time,” he said. “Some of it will fail if it’s not done.” This meeting will be one of many in the coming months to educate the public. The committee is working to get estimates on the

Shooting hits home for Marysville grad Editor, I sit here in my nice, safe Whidbey Island home and try to synthesize the horrid events in my hometown of Marysville. Over the past few years, I have digested the tragedies that periodically occurred in “other” hometowns and felt much compassion and sadness as the particulars of these events manifested themselves into our culture. Now … this one is different. The names that keep cropping up are as familiar to me as they were when I was growing up both in town and on the reservation. I played baseball and basketball with the Williams, Hatches, Sheldons and Moses. A couple of them were my closest friends. My sister also grew up on “the Rez” with Frybergs and Hatches and Jones. My heart goes out to the families of both the survivors, victims and others immediately involved. Being a former high school teacher, coach and administrator, these events are very real to me. I am proud of the athletic program at Oak Harbor High School for the reaching out as they did. We will heal slowly and steadily — that is what we Americans are. God love the Tommies. I will always be one.

Thanks to market for giving space Editor, Island Beach Access wants to thank the people of Coupeville and Peg Tennant, Saturday Market manager. For two Saturdays in October at the Farmers Market, our nonprofit organization, which is staffed by volunteers, had a booth for public information and awareness plus sponsoring a donation raffle. Your market is not only well organized, but also full of respectful, interested citizens. Island Beach Access’s mission is to identify, research, map, sign and preserve public access to public shorelines of Island County for its citizens and visitors. Through research, education and negotiation, IBA has regained public access to a number of large and small public beaches on Whidbey Island. Our donation raffle was won by Coupeville citizen Grace Hilliard. It was a pleasure to be involved with the community of Coupeville. Thank you.

Consider all facts before making vote Editor, At a recent forum, candidate for treasurer Wanda Grone indicated that, were she required to make budget cuts, the “position” she would eliminate would be that of the foreclosure deputy. To paraphrase, as the numbers of property subject to tax foreclosure have dropped, those duties could be absorbed by the other staff members. For the record, while numbers are lower than the last two years, they are still six times what they were five years ago. That “position” would be me. I find it curious that the duties she finds least important are those performed by the one person that has expressed their support for the current treasurer. Apparently, while she bemoans the fact that she was fired for filing to run, without mentioning the ongoing issues regarding her performance, she feels that others should not be allowed to express their opinions without repercussion. Things that make you go “hmmm.” I would like to share the following: While candidate Grone stated that this position would be cut to save budget dollars, this is the one position in the treasurer’s office that is

deemed so important by the legislature that it is mandated and funded without budget constraints and from separate budget dollars. There would be no savings. Cut the position, lose the funds. Second, this is arguably the least pleasant job in the county. That being said, with the complete support of the current treasurer, I have been able to negotiate with local service organizations to secure grant monies that allow those that meet program requirements to save their homes. Dozens of families remain in their homes today because of the assistance provided. I have been allowed to procure pro-bono legal assistance. I have been allowed to connect taxpayers to medical treatment that has allowed them to qualify for exemption and deferral programs and has kept them in their homes. I am sure that those people are grateful that Wanda was not the treasurer, as with the lack of importance she places on this position, they would be homeless. Net savings to budget — zero. Net benefit to Island County residents — priceless. Please let Wanda know your opinion with your vote.

John Wood

John Donald “Jack” Wood, age 84, passed away Oct. 8, 2014, surrounded by his wife of 58 years and all four of his children. Jack was born in Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 2, 1930. During his long and productive life, he lived in Kansas City; Beaumont, Texas; Houston; Short Hills, N.J.; Ridgefield, Conn.; Hunting Valley, Ohio; Florence, S.C.; Hiltonhead Island, S.C.; Oak Harbor, Wash.; and Coupeville, Wash. Jack was preceded in death by his father, Gordon Blake Wood, and mother, Ruth Florence (Rodekopf) Wood, of Kansas City; brother, Robert Gordon Wood, of Colorado; sister, Marilyn Ruth Cousins, of Kansas; and his niece, Gretchen Mertel McDonald, of California. He is survived by his wife, Gretchen (Hunt) Wood, of Coupeville; his sister, Elizabeth Joan Mertel, of Novato, Calif.; and his four children, Kristina Marie Wood, of Richmond, Calif., John D. Wood Jr., of Charleston; Gordon Blake Wood, of Vashon Island, Wash.; Amy Wood Daly, of Seattle, and her two children, Jack’s grandchildren, Wyeth and Aida. Jack attended Southwest High School in Kansas City, graduating in 1947. While in high school, he played football, basketball and was a high jumper on the track team, setting the state high jump record in his senior year. Jack attended the University of Missouri in Columbia from 1947 to 1951, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree, first in the class from the school of business and public administration. Jack entered the U.S. Navy in 1951, attending officer candidate school in Newport, R.I., graduating

first in the class of 250 officers. He served on board the U.S.S. Cambria (APA-36) from January 1952 through November 1954. He ser ved as First Division officer, and as Boat Group Commander while on board the Cambria, and was released from active duty in September of 1954 as a Lieutenant (Junior Grade). He joined the Vendo Company in Kansas City in 1954 and served as research analyst and later as a sales representative. In 1957, Jack joined the company he would work with for the next 30 years, Union Carbide Corporation. He served in the Linde division as a sales representative, first in Beaumont, Texas, and then in Houston. He was transferred to New York City in 1964, serving as national staff manager for electric welding in the distributor products department. He served as product manager and market manager of several business groups within the welding products department in New York until 1971, when he was promoted to general manager of the welding materials group, managing factories in Ashtabula and in Niagara Falls, N.Y. In 1985, the welding products department was bought out by L-Tec Welding and Cutting Systems, an independent limited partnership that included Jack. He had so earned the respect of his workers that they erected a banner at one of the factories that welcomed Jack to “Wood’s Wire Works” the day after the buyout was announced. In 1988, L-Tec was purchased by ESAB, the world’s largest welding products company, headquartered in Sweden. He continued to serve as executive vice president of L-Tec until retirement in 1990. Jack and Gretchen moved

to Whidbey Island in 1995 and then built a house that Jack had designed using a home design software program he found on a computer his son gave him. Jack had never used computers during his working years, but in his own words, he became a bit of a “low technology computer nerd” in retirement, using his computer for hours on his investment records and analysis programs. Jack was an active member of St. Augustine’s in-theWoods Episcopal Church in Freeland, Wash., a founding member of St. Augustine’s Peace Fellowship and worked for more 10 years in the Hearts and Hammers community program, which repaired houses of the elderly so they could remain in their homes longer. Jack was always very handy and enjoyed woodworking and building various projects throughout his life, but nothing gave him as much joy as helping others. In 1998, Jack started volunteering with Washington’s Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) and spent thousands of hours over the next 16 years helping the elderly navigate the myriad health insurance options available. He said that this work gave him as much joy as any work he had done in his life, and he continued counseling for SHIBA right up to his final months. Jack worked hard at everything he committed to. True to form, he worked as hard in retirement as he did in his working life. He touched many lives and tried to leave the world a better place. We will all miss him. In lieu of flowers, Jack requested donations be sent to Mary’s Place, a homeless women’s and children’s center, at P.O. Box 1711, Seattle, WA 98111-1711.

Don’t expect much help from local law enforcement, even though both the Coupeville Marshal’s Office and the Island County Sheriff’s Office are located in town. Marshal Norrie has only two words of advice: “Run scared.” Sheriff Mark Brown is a classic buck-passer when it comes to zombies. He said Island County Coroner Robert Bishop has jurisdiction over the dead. “If they start acting up, it’s Bishop’s problem,” Brown said. Island County Public Health Director Keith Higman offers guidance from a public health perspective. “Stay away from zom-

bies because they are likely to be contagious,” he said. “Don’t let them touch you or bite you. Drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep and remember to wash your hands.” “At least you’ll die with clean hands,” he added. Higman said there’s currently no immunization available to prevent the dead from awakening. Perhaps the best bet for Coupeville residents is to head to the gun batteries at nearby Fort Casey State Park. Jon Crimmins, area manager for the parks, said the partially underground structure may be creepy, but the thick concrete walls are perfect for keeping zombies at bay. He pointed out that it was used as a nuclear fall-out shelter during the civil defense era. There’s even rations left. “We’ll be fine,” he said. “We have all the old Saltines we can handle.”

Wolves lose homecoming heartbreaker

Coupeville’s Curtin, Davis finish 1-2 in Olympic League singles tournament By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Klahowya spoiled Coupeville’s homecoming game and snagged the final football playoff berth in the process, but the Wolves’ tennis team produced the Olympic League singles champion, Aaron Curtin. The Coupeville soccer team moved closer to a playoff berth by defeating Chimacum, and the volleyball team can reach the postseason with two wins over Port Townsend this week.

Football Eagles swipe win from Wolves It was thrilling and fun to watch -- until the final 30 seconds. Klahowya’s Nate Hough returned an interception 80 yards with 24 seconds left to lift the Eagles to a 42-35 win over Coupeville Friday, Oct. 24, at Mickey Clark Field. Regardless of the out-

come, coach Tony Maggio said, it was a valiant effort by the Wolves, who lost to Klahowya 49-6 just three weeks ago. Twice in the game’s closing minutes, Coupeville appeared on the cusp of victory. After a high-scoring first half, which ended with the teams tied at 28, the defenses stiffened and neither team tallied again until the Wolves’ Lathom Kelley scored with 3:28 left in the game. That put Coupeville ahead 35-28. The drive was kept alive by a roughing the passer call that wiped out an Eagle interception. Klahowya was also aided by a penalty as it raced in for the tying score with 1:14 left. A dropped pass in the end zone set up a fourth-and-10 from the 14-yard line. The fourth-down pass fell incomplete, but Coupeville was flagged for pass interference. The Eagles scored on the next play, and the PAT kick evened the game. Coupeville came storming back. QB Joel Walstad hit

Josh Bayne, C.J. Smith and Wiley Hesselgrave on consecutive passes of 20-plus yards to put the ball on the Eagle 22-yard line. Hough’s pick ended the threat. The Wolves’ last effort came up short. Three complete passes took the ball to the Eagle 25 before time expired. “The kids gave it everything they had,” Maggio said. Though the Wolves lost, their season isn’t over. Coupeville has a nonleague game at Concrete at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31. Coupeville will have another nonleague game Nov. 7 against a yet-to-bedetermined foe (most likely Vashon Island). The fireworks started early in the Klahowya game. Klahowya scored on its first possession, and Coupeville responded with a 30yard pass from Walstad to Hesselgrave. Walstad kicked the first of five successful PATs. The drive included a 30-yard run by Kelley.

Coupeville’s C.J. Smith tackles Klahowya’s Konner Langholff as Lathom Kelley, center, Josh Bayne and Oscar Liquidano move in to help. The Wolves then recovered a fumble at midfield which led to a 10-yard Walstad to Hesselgrave touchdown. A 64-yard pass play by Klahowya tied the score at 14 just before the end of the first quarter. The Eagles recovered an onside kick, which led to a score. Coupeville evened the game at 21 on a seven-yard run by Bayne after a 17-yard catch by Smith. On Klahowya’s next play, Bayne intercepted. Moments later he caught a 46-yard halfback pass from Hesselgrave to make it 28-21, Coupeville. Klahowya converted on a fourth-down play on the way to scoring with 17 seconds left in the half. Early in the second half, Kelley zipped 30 yards to the Eagle 15, but the drive stalled and Coupeville missed a 30yard field goal. Coupeville recovered

another fumble and moved in for a possible score, but on the first play of the fourth quarter coughed up the ball at the Klahowya 3-yard line. The Wolves held and forced an Eagle punt. That started the game’s closing sequence of three touchdowns in the final three and a half minutes. Kelley, playing with a broken hand, finished the game with 162 rushing yards on 23 carries and led the defense with 10 tackles. Hesselgrave added 57 yards on 10 carries, caught four passes for 69 yards and threw one pass for 46 yards. Defensively he had nine tackles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries. Bayne ran for 43 yards on seven carries, caught three passes for 77 yards, recorded six tackles and intercepted a pass. Smith snared three passes for 57 yards. Walstad threw 16 passes, completing 10 for 181 yards

Tennis Curtin, Davis rule singles action Coupeville’s Aaron Curtin and Sebastian Davis finished 1-2 in singles in the Olympic League 1A tennis tournament Monday, Oct. 27, at Chimacum High School. “It was a great tourney,” Coupeville coach Ken Stange said. “We exceeded expectations in singles, and we met expectations in doubles.” The Coupeville doubles team of Connor McCormick and Loren Nelson finished fourth and will join Curtin and Davis at the district tournament. District is set for Thursday, Oct. 30, to Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Lakewood Racket Club in south Tacoma, according to the District 3 website. Curtin and Davis each won their first two matches to set up an all-Coupeville final in singles, which Curtin narrowly won. Davis reached the championship match by upsetting the tournament’s top seed from Klahowya. Kyle Bodamer also competed in the singles tournament, winning one of three matches. SEE WOLVES, A9

Page 9 news scenario, according to coach Troy Cowan. The bad news: The Eagles, with a strong wind at their back, bunched all four goals in the final 20 minutes of the first half. The good news: Coupeville shut out fifth-ranked Klahowya (5-0, 13-1) in the second half. The second half was “a much different affair,” Cowan said. After the break, the Wolves created multiple scoring chances with Etzell firing shots or crosses, Cowan said. The defense and Myers received a pep talk and some tips from coach Gary Manker and blanked the Eagles over the final 40 minutes.

WOLVES CONTINUED FROM A8

In doubles, McCormick and Nelson lost a close opening match and then stormed back to win their next two to grab a district berth. Joey Lippo and William Nelson defeated the No. 1 Chimacum doubles team before losing to the eventual champions. Joseph Wedekind and John McClarin lost both matches. The league tournament used pro-sets to eight to determine the winners instead of the normal set format, according to Stange.

a scoreless regulation and overtime. The match was then decided on penalty kicks.

Wolves face big matches this week

Thursday the Redhawks visit Coupeville at 5 p.m. Coupeville appeared to be on the way to a series sweep of Chimacum when it won the first game 25-16; however, Chimacum rallied to take the next three (25-15, 25-18, 2624) and the match. “We had a hard time executing, and we made too many errors, many occurring at critical moments,” Coupeville coach Breanne Smedley said. Smedley liked the play of her defense which “did a good job of staying disciplined and made some great plays.” The defense was led by Valen Trujillo with 30 digs; Kacie Kiel had 19 and Madeline Strasburg 16. Hailey Hammer added two blocks. Offensively, Lauren Rose dished out 30 assists that led to 12 kills for Strasburg, 11 for Hammer and five for Kiel. Kiel also served three aces. Klahowya found heavier resistance than it most likely expected at Coupeville Monday, Oct. 27. The one-win Wolves fell 3-0 on Senior Night but left a mark on the undefeated and ninth-ranked Eagles (5-0, 130), who had to work for a 2518, 25-23, 26-24 win.

“We played really well,” Smedley said, “and fought for every point.” The trend was set early as Coupeville scrapped its way back into the first game after the Eagles threatened to pull away. The Wolves cut a sizable Eagle lead to 22-18 before Klahowya finished with a 3-0 run. Coupeville took an 8-3 lead in the second game. The Eagles evened the score at 15 and then moved to a 22-18 lead. The Wolves refused to fold, went on 5-1 run and tied the game at 23. An Eagle kill and Coupeville passing error finished the set. The third game was similar to the second. The Wolves produced another early lead (5-0), fell behind (11-7) and then recovered. This time Coupeville went up 21-17 and then held set point at 24-22 but couldn’t finish off the Eagles. Strasburg led the Coupeville offense with seven kills and three aces. Kiel collected five kills, and Rose had 18 assists. On defense, Trujillo had 17 digs and Kiel 12.

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.

B&B: Mysterious man visits inn and vanishes without a trace From page 1 if he can. Reports from guests of noisy neighbors opening and closing doors late into the night when no other guest is there? Could be the creaks of an old house, David speculates. ONE GUEST of the inn reported hearing what sounded like someone bouncing a ball above them late into the night. David Broberg said the only thing above that room is a crawl space and insulation. The noise could have been the wind hitting a vent on the side of the house, he said. That same guest reported smelling someone cooking at 3 a.m. He even got up to investigate, but found nothing. David’s explanation? The guest commented about not having a great sense of smell. Perhaps he was dreaming about smelling food. THERE HAVE also been experiences with weird lighting at the inn.

The Brobergs’ son was visiting one time and was reading in bed. The touch lamp next to his bed changed settings without being touched. Becky Broberg also had an experience in the other inn building, the Coupe-Gillespie House, when she turned two lights off in a room and returned to find them on. Did she, in fact, not turn them off? She swears she did. DURING BREAKFAST one morning, a guest shared a story about seeing an apparition at Fort Casey, Becky Broberg said. As she was talking, two candlesticks on the mantel flew across the room. Not just fell, she said, flew. The event was witnessed by several people. The Brobergs live in a space at the back of the Kineth House. One time they were witness to a spooky occurrence in their room. “We watched our knob turn and open,” Becky said. Could it be the latch not

fully clicking and the door pushing itself open? Sure. But the knob turning? David shrugs. Who knows? AND THE man sighted upstairs earlier this month? He didn’t fit any description of any guest we had that weekend, David Broberg said. Could someone have wandered in off the street? “These are the kinds of discussion we find ourselves having,” Becky said with a laugh. “It is important to note though, I’ve never felt frightened or uncomfortable. “When something happens, we just kind of look at each other and go, ‘look at that.’” “WHENEVER WE have something weird, it’s usually in the Kineth House,” Becky Broberg said. Both houses have history, though. The Coupe-Gillespie house was build in 1891 by James Gillespie and his wife Keturah Coupe, daughter

of Coupeville founder Capt. Thomas Coupe. It was originally built on the corner of Sixth and Main streets, but has been moved twice in its life. Gillespie had a small shop on Front Street and worked as a meat cutter. DAVID BROBERG said that a woman stopped by once to say she had lived in the house as a young girl. She said family members would come stay when they were sick and her mother would care for them until they died. She viewed the residence as a type of hospice, he said. The Kineth House was built in 1887 by John and Jane Kineth as a retirement home for one of the first pioneer families on Whidbey Island. They first settled at Snakelum Point, south of Coupeville, with a 640-acre donation claim in 1853. They lived the pioneer life, raising six children. JOHN KINETH is credited with bringing the first horses to the island. As pioneers, the Kineths were in the backdrop of popular Coupeville history. They had their run-ins with Native Americans. They were here when Issac

Becky Broberg says that most of the strange occurrences have happened in the Kineth House. Ebey was killed. John Kineth helped build the first blockhouse. They lived in their retirement home until John’s death in 1902. AN OBITUARY for John Kineth found in archives at the Island County History

Museum says he died of heart failure at home. There are no pictures of him on file. Could he be the man seen earlier this month? Bowler hats were in fashion in 1902, according to head museum archivist Joan Peters.

thing very bright and orangish in the sky. A Bush Point couple saw something similar in March of 2013. About 15 years ago, something that looked like crop circles lured UFO enthusiasts to a Coupeville field. On the National UFO Reporting Center website, there are a few accounts of UFOs being spotted in the skies

above the island in the last three years. One person reported seeing a large, slow-moving bright orb above Oak Harbor on Sept. 27, 2014. Others claimed to have seen floating lights above Coupeville, on June 19, 2012, Sept. 22, 2012, and Dec. 16, 2013. Those three reports all mention fast-flying lights. There are reports on the NUFORC website dating

back more than a decade, but they started growing more frequent around 2012. Stetner’s description of the lights are similar to many of the other examples from the island. “They were very, very big, very bright,” she said. “There was, I think, three of them. They were spaced really far apart, and yet obviously were together. They didn’t seem to be moving much at all.”
