Pennies to help with wharf fixes By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
Two Coupeville business groups are partnering in a new campaign to help raise money for repairs to Coupeville Wharf. Pennies for Preservation launches this month and will feature collection jars around the community hoping to catch shoppers’ spare change. “We realize the Port of Coupeville is doing what they can,” said Vickie Chambers, executive director of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association. “We really wanted us Coupevillians to help the wharf.” The goal is to collect one-and-a-half million pennies to pay for a specific project on the wharf. “I think it’s a unique and fun way to raise money,” Chambers said. “It’s a great way to educate people and bring attention

Artist chosen for next arts festival poster By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
Coupeville artist Mike Wise was chosen as the 2015 Arts and Crafts Festival poster artist. His original piece was unveiled Monday to festival association members along with a first draft of the new poster. Wise said he really appreciated being the poster artist this year and was happy with how the poster was shaping up. Wise is an Impressionist oil painter best known for landscapes. His winning submission features a festive scene of Front Street in Coupeville lined with festival booths and filled with crowds. “Mike’s representational art is achieved by using loose brushwork and an extensive use of a palette knife, which creates paintings with movement and energy, that are rich in color, texture and a distinct threedimensional feel that draws the viewer deep into the painted image,” said Carol Moliter, who presented the art. Wise is a member of Oil Painters of America and American Impressionist So-

Robert Pelant, chief executive officer of the Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship, inspects a prairie grass known as Roemer’s fescue on part of the 175 acres the institute now owns in Coupeville. Before learning centers took over, the land was a longtime state game farm.
f o l l u f Prairie possibilities Pacific Rim Institute explores future after property purchase By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter
For a visionary such as Robert Pelant, the possibilities are endless. For nine years, he’s lived in a quaint house surrounded by pheasant coops and other plain structures on a vast piece of mostly barren land. Where some might drive along Parker Road in Coupeville and view seemingly endless open space, Pelant sees a gold carpet of unlimited potential. Never has that view been more clear and more exciting for Pelant than since the announcement last month that the Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship had finalized a land deal with Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies. By purchasing the 175 acres it had leased and managed since 2009, the Pacific Rim Institute is now able to chart its own course with
Pelant, the institute’s chief executive officer, leading the way. “Ownership greatly expands the opportunities we’ll have for education, opportunities for the public as well as opportunities for developing our place as a truly regional center for restoration,” Pelant said. The Pacific Rim Institute will continue to partner with the Au Sable Institute by offering field-based college courses during the summer and plans to remain entrenched in various research projects, particularly in relation to native prairie species. Aside from education and research, a major institute goal is to better identify itself with the public in Central Whidbey and extend an invitation to the greater Coupeville community to utilize its trails for outdoor activities such as hiking and birding, as well as its facilities

Poster: Impressionist piece selected From page 1 ciety. His work has been featured in galleries, shows and competitions all over the country — from the Pacific Northwest down to Texas and across to Vermont. Wise has studied under several painters, but is primarily self-taught. He works in what was once an old barn on the fam-
ily property that he converted to a modern art studio and recently participated in the Whidbey Working Artists Studio Tour. Wise’s winning submission earned him a $500 honorarium, and the piece is now property of the festival association, Moliter said. In the months leading up to the August festival, the art will be on display at various
locations throughout Central Whidbey. The association will sell $1 raffle tickets and the artwork will be raffled off during the festival, which is Aug. 1-2. Money raised from the raffle is used for student scholarships. For more information on this year’s Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, go to www.coupevillefestival.com

to the needs at the wharf.” The first project they hope to fund is repairing and replacing siding and painting the wharf. That project is estimated to cost $17,000. The idea was the brainchild of Chambers, found in a magazine she was reading last fall. “It was the perfect answer for what we were looking for,” said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber. Eccles, Chambers and other community members had been looking for ideas on ways to help the port and its tight budget constraints. Jars will start going out this month to various businesses. Chambers, Eccles and another partner, Mark Saia, are looking for a group of volunteers to help distribute the jars and collect the funds. Progress posters will also be created to show how the fundraising process is going. 1 of 1 “The funPage thing about it is watching it grow,” Chambers said. Pennies for Preservation

Officials from the Port of Coupeville are 100 percent supportive of the project, Chambers said. Former executive director Tim McDonald said any funds collected could be used as matching for a Heritage Preservation Grant the port is trying to acquire.

Due to tight budget constraints, the port is continually looking for grant and other funding opportunities to help offset the cost of repairs to the two historic structures it owns — the wharf and Greenbank Farm. “The wharf is an icon,” Eccles said. “People come here for the wharf. We want to preserve our wharf for everyone to enjoy.”

Ankey said he went and saw one of the first games the Seahawks played in the Kingdome, the now-demolished stadium they shared with the Mariners before getting their own stadium, Century Link. He added that he thinks the Hawks will get their second championship in two years. “We’re kicking butt,” Ankey said. “It’s gonna be a repeat. “It took us this long to get one; we’re gonna make it stick.” Other upcoming rallies in the area are: 1-2:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, at Deception Pass, which will end at Flyers in Oak Harbor and is organized by the Whidbey Sea Hawkers, and 2-4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, at LouieG’s in Oak Harbor.

As the Fanbulance honked its way down Coupeville’s Front Street, a crowd of Seahawks fans tailed behind. The group, chanting “Repeat” and “Sea-hawks” until they reached the end of the Coupeville Wharf, led the first local rally of the postseason. The decked out ambulance and fans were part of a rally that took place Sunday afternoon. The group marched from the elementary school down to the wharf in the wind and rain. Put on by the Whidbey Sea Hawkers, the Whidbey Island branch of the team’s official booster club, the rally drew a crowd of about 40 people — and a few dogs dressed in Seahawks green and blue. One of the dressed up
dogs was Willy D., named after Russell Wilson. Willy’s owner, Jeanine Dyer, a Seahawks fan, said the “D” stands for Eric Dickerson, a former St. Louis Rams player whom her husband is a fan of. After the crowd made its way to the end of the wharf, they walked back, cheering at cameras taking photos and videos. Gwendolyn Burtis, 4, cheered with shiny green and blue pom-poms and a bright green scarf. Chelsie Burtis, Gwendolyn’s mother, said, “She loves watching football with papa.” While Gwendolyn has only been a fan for four years, her grandfather, Larry Ankey, has been a fan since the team’s inception in 1976. When asked if he was excited about the team’s second possible Super Bowl win, Ankey said, “Oh hell yeah.”

Lions committed to helping build new club facility
Gary Leake Guest Editorial
A number of years ago, a few people with vision realized the need for a Boys & Girls Club in Coupeville. Spurred to action by Margie Parker and Sue Roundy, the pair realized that the Central Whidbey Youth Coalition’s Saturday night get-together in the gym proved the need. Others, including Coupeville Lions John Kohlmann, Jackie Feusier and Bob Clay, soon got involved as members of an advi-
sory group. When the old fire house became available, the Coupeville Lions voted to fund the annual rent as they have now for a number of years. Since its inception in Coupeville, the Boys & Girls Club has grown and is now a focal point of the local youth. So integral to Coupeville area youth, the Boys & Girls Club has outgrown its present facility and is in need of a larger facility. The Coupeville Lions is committed to helping make a new, larger Boys & Girls Club a reality for the future of kids in our community. In addition, in 2009 the Coupeville Lions resurrected its annual Peace Poster Contest that a decade ago had briefly been coordinated with the middle school art class. Each year, Lions Clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups. This art contest for kids encourages young people worldwide to express their visions of peace. For more than 25 years, millions of children from nearly 100 countries have participated in the contest. Since 2009, I have had the pleasure of co-coordinating the Peace Poster Contest. Though our club president does the honors of awarding cash prizes to the top artists during the Boys & Girls Club’s December Art Show, the judging by the entire Coupeville Lions Club is done “in the blind”— very important in a small community where everyone seems to know everyone. The top award of $50 cash is just the beginning as the chosen artwork is submitted upward where the top international award is a $5,000 scholarship. Though the International Lions Club rules limit participants to those between the ages of 11 and 13, the Coupeville Lions Club has for many years judged and awarded art from younger artists too. The possibility of receiving coveted gift certificates to Coupeville’s Honey Bear encourages the younger kiddos to work on their artistic skills for competition in later years. Of all of the projects that the Coupeville Lions Club has on its plate, the Peace Poster has to be ranked as one of the most endearing. n Gary Leake is a member of the Coupeville Lions Club and a co-chair for the Peace Poster Contest.

Job of police officer carries many risks Editor, On Jan. 9, 2015, Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc., or COPS, and partnering organizations will unite in support of law enforcement officers nationwide to promote a National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. In light of recent negativity directed toward law enforcement nationally, there is a need to show law enforcement officers that our citizens recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen, in public service to us all. Can you imagine going to work each day and wondering if you’ll survive your shift and see your family that night? Most people can’t. But in law enforcement, this is a fact of life. Each day, 780,000 police officers across our country put a badge on and
go to work knowing they may face extremely dangerous situations. Yet, they go to work anyway. Being a law enforcement officer is not just a job — it is a calling. The pay is low, the hours can be terrible and there is sometimes little appreciation for what you do. Yet, they do it anyway. What the public doesn’t see is the toll law enforcement takes to keep our communities safe. On average, between 105 and 203 officers die in the line of duty each year; 50,000 officers are assaulted in the line of duty each year; 14,000 officers are injured in the line of duty each year; and more 300 officers commit suicide each year. There is no other profession in the world, except possibly the military, where you will find these kinds of statistics. On Jan. 9, we call our nation’s citizens to action in support of law enforcement. Those citizens who appreciate law enforcement and are discouraged about the negative attention being given to law
enforcement are encouraged take time on Friday, Jan. 9, to show their support. Our citizens can show their support in a number of ways: n See a police officer? Thank a police officer. n Wear blue clothing in support of law enforcement. n Send a card of support to your local police department or state agency. n Share a positive story about a positive law enforcement experience on social media. n Ask children in your community write letters in support of law enforcement. n Participate in Project Blue Light. Proudly display your blue light in support of law enforcement. n Organize an event or a rally in support of your law enforcement officers. n Advertise your support through local media outlets/billboards.

Memories bring year to a close on the Rock
Deadline for 2015 Farm Tour Jan. 31 Planning is underway for the 10th Annual Whidbey Island Farm Tour, set to take place Sept. 12-13, 2015. Dedicated to connecting our community with local agricultural businesses, the Farm Tour highlights a diversity of farms across the island. The tour provides an opportunity for island and regional community members to visit our Whidbey farms and for farmers to showcase their locally grown products right on the farm. The tour also provides educational opportunities for visitors to learn about a variety of farm activities, including conservation practices employed by farms to protect our natural resources. If you would like to learn more about how your farm can participate or are interested in participating as a vendor or exhibitor, go to www. whidbeyfarmtour.com or contact Sarah at 360-6784708 or sarah@whidbeycd. org Applications are due Jan. 31.
waiting as some very brave emergency crews wielded chainsaws to clear our path. Folks got out of their vehicles, hung out, chatted and even shared jackets. No road rage, no cross words, no gun fire. Just peaceful patience and deep gratitude to those who risk so much to help us during all such emergencies.
Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place Few of us bother to sing the third verse of “Deck the Halls” at Christmastime, but it’s a sweet celebration of the new year’s approach: “Fast away the old year passes / Hail the new, ye lads and lasses / Sing we joyous all together / Heedless of the wind and weather!” So, ye Whidbey lads and lasses, herewith I sing carols about some fond year-end memories here on the Rock, heedless of our wind and weather.
“God rest ye merry Rock dwellers.”
On a damp Dec. 21 Sunday afternoon, a crowd of several hundred gathered outside the Island County Historical Museum, eagerly awaiting a highlight of the local Yuletide season: the Red Ticket drawing. People tightly grasped the tickets they got for doing their holiday shopping in Coupeville, hoping to win the big $1,000 grand prize. Sarah and Ruth Richards from Lavender Wind cracked corny jokes. Beth Kuchynka from bayleaf kept things moving right along as mistress of ceremonies. Janice Vaughan from Whidbey Island Bank (sorry, I will never be able to call it Heritage Bank) heroically dove her arm into the mountain of tickets to pull the winners. Denis Hill, as
“The Rock in solemn darkness lay.”
As we drove home to Coupeville from Freeland on the evening of Dec. 11, a mighty wind blew, cut off the power and brought down big trees that blocked both the main highway and Bush Point Road — the only other way to go north on the island. Long lines of cars backed up,
always, took beautiful photographs. Most of us knew we’d never win, but it was fun to stand around with our neighbors and think we might. And there was much hugging and consoling of all the non-winners, which was the best part.
“It’s a marshmallow Rock in the winter.”
What to do with a 10-yearold great niece and her friend from America on a post-Christmas visit to their uncle’s home? Can you say Honey Bear, boys and girls? Indeed, the Front Street toy and candy store owned by Karla Mackintosh is the obvious place to bring visiting kids of all ages, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s next to Kapaw’s Iskreme store. We aged uncles got the chance to renew our acquaintance with the Look, Big Hunk and Pay Day candy bars of our youth. Meanwhile, the youthful niece and friend found bliss in their purchase of marshmallow fried eggs and toy penguins, which partially allayed their disappointment when they discovered that Kapaw’s was closed.

A beautiful, sunny and chilly New Year’s Day dawned on Whidbey Island, and all of us seemed determined to be outdoors on such a rare winter afternoon. We bundled ourselves and our Charlotte, our Basset hound, and headed for a favorite walk on the Bluff Trail from Jacob Ebey’s House. Dozens of New Year’s strollers with their canine companions ambled along, enjoying a spectacular vista from Mount Baker to the Olympics with Ebey’s

To work off the sugar high from Honey Bear, we proceeded to the Deception Pass Bridge on a gorgeous, clear winter afternoon, to enjoy stunning views from the Olympics to the North Cascades. We bundled up and bravely walked out to the bridge’s midpoint. The bitter cold wind whistled past us; giant trucks rumbled behind us; the riptide wovwe a dangerous current below us. We confessed that the icy cold made us feel frozen. And, of course, we then sang the ubiquitous theme song from that Disney movie all the way back to our car. Let it go! Let it go!

JV players sharpen skills for future varsity action By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
Although they play in the secondary games, often in the middle school gym in front of a smattering of fans, they are an important part of the Coupeville High School basketball teams — the future. The members of the Wolves’ junior varsity squads are honing their skills, working to one day be the featured pieces of the school’s basketball programs. Goals for sub-varsity teams go beyond the results on the scoreboard. “The purpose of our JV is to build skills and push our varsity team and, especially this year, prepare for next year when our varsity will be leaving six openings with our outgoing senior class,” coach Amy King said. “It is very important for the JV to learn the game better and fine-tune their skill sets.” King hopes to win 50 percent of the games each year, but adjusts that total depending on the Wolves’ talent and the experience of their opponents. “Winning isn’t everything, but it sure helps validate what they are doing,” she said. This season is going well and “above my expectations,” King said. “They work hard, support each other as a team and never give up,” she said. “We won an overtime game with only six players, and, to me, that shows the heart they have. Their legs were jello, they were mentally drained and they pushed through and dug deep to bring out that win.” Seeing a player accomplish something for the first
life lessons as well as basketball,” VanVelkinburg said, “and be good men, not just basketball players.” The season, so far, has gone well, VanVelkinburgh said. “We have a positive, upbeat atmosphere right now, and they (the junior varsity players) want to put their stamp on the program.” Being the junior varsity coach, VanVelkinburg gets the opportunity to watch kids grow and to “see the light bulb go on.” It’s a joy, he said, to see “a kid do something he doesn’t think he is capable of.”

She added, “Just seeing the team work together in help defense, the older girls talking the younger girls through their positioning during the game and seeing them smile and have fun — those are the things that make me smile.” On the boys side, coach Dustin VanVelkinburgh is

also excited about this year’s group. “It’s nice to have enough depth at the varsity level that we can keep the young players on the JV,” he said. VanVelkinburgh said winning is important, but individual improvement is the key. “If I can provide coach (Anthony) Smith with future players, that is important,” he added. “I need to instill the ideologies that coach Smith wants.” Among those ideologies are the coaches’ expectations on and off the court. “We want them to learn
Here’s what the coaches had to say about their troops: First the girls… Freshman Brisa Herrera: “She listens intently, adjusts where she plays under direction of her teammates and has gotten rebounds in each game we have played.” Freshman Allison Wenzel: “So far I think she has shown the most improvement this season. She listens, asks questions and works so hard.” Freshman Kyla Briscoe: “She has very dynamic skills and we are working on her confidence. She is quick and strong on defense.” Freshman Lauren Rose: “She is a solid player, excellent ball-handler and has a nice outside shot. I’m looking forward to seeing her in action.” Sophomore Skyler Lawrence: “She does a great job on defense and has a killer shot from all areas of the floor.” Sophomore Lauren Grove: “Lauren does a good NORA DURAND

She is extremely quick and, with that, an excellent defender.” Sophomore Tiffany Briscoe: “She is so good at defense — help defense — directing her teammates on the floor, letting them know about cutters and to watch for screens.” Sophomore Kailey Kellner: “Kailey is our top scorer right now, 15 in one game, 11 in another. She has a great eye for pass anticipation and has no problem stepping in and making those steals then driving the floor for a fast break.” And the boys… Freshman Hunter Smith: “Good all-around player. He is going to be a catalyst moving forward.” Freshman Hunter Downes: “Hard worker and high energy. Does the little things.” Freshman Nick Etzell: “With a little confidence and time spent in the gym, I think he will be a solid role player in the coming years.” Freshman Ethan Spark: “Smart, instinctual player.”
Freshman Cameron Toomey Stout: “Game changer on the defensive end.” Freshman James Vidoni: “Strong rebounder.” Freshman Ben Olson: “Going to be a solid allaround player.” Freshman Luke Merriman: “Has the potential to be a great scorer.” Freshman Joey Lippo: “Might be one of the smartest kids I have ever coached. Expecting good things to follow.” Sophomore Brian Shank: “Good inside/outside threat. Has become a better rebounder.” Junior Beauman Davis: “Has improved his game over the last 12 months since his inaugural season.” Junior Dante Mitchell: “My hope is he blossoms like his older brother between his junior and senior seasons. If so, watch out.” Junior DeAndre Mitchell: “Often the best athlete in the gym. Can be as good as he wants to be.” Junior Desmond Bell: “A coach on the floor. Understands his game and plays within himself.”

Purchase: Pacific Rim secures funding to purchase Coupeville property Continued from page 1 for workshops, meetings and events. Joseph Sheldon, board member and former Au Sable instructor who lives on property adjacent to Pacific Rim, said too many residents are in the dark about what the institute is about. Part of the faith-based nonprofit’s mission is to work to “equip people and communities to live sustainably
and care for Creation.” What better place to practice that than Whidbey Island, he said. “We’re looking at expanding our reach to the community in terms of being a role model of what it means to live sustainably,” Sheldon said. “We live on an island, and an island is just that. The question is how can the Pacific Rim serve as a role model for sustainable living to the rest of the community.”
Sheldon said each individual produces an ecological footprint that relates to the impact on one’s surrounding area and that people in the United States have an ecological footprint twice the size of any other country in the world. “It’s basically not sustainable,” he said. “The real question is how can we as individuals living in an island community minimize the amount of waste
we produce and reduce our ecological footprint so we are much more self-sustaining. That’s part of the message we are sending.” Since 2009, after Au Sable decided to shut down its Pacific Rim campus on Whidbey after 10 years, Pelant has led a fundraising effort to purchase the property. By raising enough of its fundraising goal of $443,000 from individual donors, including receiving a no-inter-

est loan from one individual, the Pacific Rim Institute was able to purchase the land from Au Sable Dec. 15. Once the longtime site of Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Game Farm, where tens of thousands of pheasants were raised, the land is mostly open space but includes a section of forest, savanna and prairie lands. Most notable is 4.5 acres of rare, undisturbed, oldgrowth prairie, the site of research and seed cultivation to provide native prairie species to other regional sites. “Unfortunately, Whid-
bey has lost over 99 percent of its prairie ecosystem since the 1850s,” Pelant said. “Our site has one of the largest and most significant prairie remnants in the entire region.” Prairie studies, including one by a University of Washington student earning his PHD, have been conducted on the Coupeville property with plans for much more research. “We have 130 open acres here,” Pelant said. The Pacific Rim Institute will hold a 2015 Prairie Open House May 7-9. To learn more about the institute, go to www.paci ficriminstitute.org
