Mobile unit innovates poultry industry

By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

The feathers that stuck to the side of a steel work platform were a clear indication that this was no ordinary semi-truck.

“It can be pretty messy,” David Bauermeister said.

Bauermeister was standing next to a chute near the rear of a trailer unit where chicken feathers tend to fly when business is good.

He was showing off the Northwest Agriculture Business Center’s latest bit of innovation on wheels, the Mobile Poultry Processing Unit.

As the NABC’s executive director, Bauermeister got to play the duel role of guest speaker at Monday night’s Whidbey Island

Feeding kids in the community

Kids Cafe opening this summer for Central Whidbey

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Gifts From the Heart food bank in collaboration with the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club will be unveiling a new free meal program for children this summer.

Kids Cafe will operate Monday through Friday this summer at the old fire house on North Main Street. With the exception of Wednesday, lunch will be served at Coupeville Town Park.

Breakfast will be served 8-8:30 a.m. and lunches will be 12-1 p.m.

All meals will be pre-packaged, USDAapproved individual servings, said Molly Hughes, food bank president.

Meals will include bagels and cream cheese, “uncrustables,” fruits and veggies, milk, etc.

Participants don’t have to be a member of either organization. The only stipulations

are participants must be under 18 years old and meals must be eaten on site, Hughes said.

“No application or proof of income is needed,” she said. “All youth are welcome to participate.”

The program is part of Food Lifeline’s Kids Cafe program, which also serves meals in South Whidbey and at Oak Harbor’s Spin Cafe.

Hughes said she’s been aware of the program for quite some time but didn’t think Gifts From the Heart qualified for funding because it wasn’t part of Food Lifeline, but then the program contacted her.

“It’s just unbelievable to me,” Hughes said. “This program isn’t going to cost us anything.”

With such a tight timeframe, Hughes has already secured additional refrigerator

See, MEALS, page 14

How can you Help?

The food bank doesn’t need money, but they do need volunteers. They will need a new group of volunteers to manage the meal program this summer. Meal times are short and jobs will involve setup, serving the meals, cleanup and reporting. They will need two people per meal. Can you volunteer for a week? Can you volunteer one day a week? Can your service group or church volunteer for a week?

Organizers will put together a volunteer schedule based around your availability and there will be a short training class before it begins. To volunteer or for more information, call Molly Hughes at 360-678-8312 by May 26.

Water Festival revives Native American history

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

A celebration of culture will take over downtown Coupeville Saturday as Native American tribes from across the region gather for the Penn Cove Water Festival.

The event features tribal canoe races all day between the boat launch and wharf as well as tribal presentations, dances, food and more.

Coupeville held a water festival as early as the 1930s, which featured canoe races.

At those early races, there were only three 11-man canoes, but up to 22 tribes participated. The races stopped with the start of World War II but were revived in 1992.

This year, 250-300 tribal pullers and about a dozen canoe clubs are expected to participate, said event organizers.

Visitors can view the races from the wharf and at various view points along Front Street. During the day Front Street will be filled with vendors, tribal perfor-

mances and presentations.

There will be musical entertainment throughout the day, including two new entertainers.

Cindy Minkler will be performing at 2 p.m. on the Main Stage.

Minkler graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a B.A. in music education and piano performance.

Since then, she’s been an educator, graduation speaker, freelance pianist, piano teacher and performer. In the 1990s, Minkler was seen on the hit dramedy television show “Northern Exposure.” In 2003 she was invited to perform at the American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco, where she featured her original composition, “Battle of Wounded Knee.” Minkler performed and won an award at the second annual West Coast American Indian Music Awards Show and is currently performing around the Pacific Northwest.

Delving into gardening a fun experience It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve delved into the world of community gardening.

Yes, me, the person who manages to kill house plants, is gardening.

I’ve rented a plot at the Coupeville Community Garden, and since May 2, I’ve been diligently tending to my garMegan Hansen den, watering daily and checkSome perspective ing for weeds.

There are a few things I have learned since starting my garden.

1. I probably should have raked any rocks from my soil. I find myself picking them out when I’m watering.

2. Planting seeds when it’s windy might not be the best idea. The marigolds I was planting around the perimeter of my plot (because I read online they detract bugs) may have ended up all in one corner of my garden, next to the bush beans. Luckily, my plot neighbor was perfectly fine with the potential of over-run marigolds.

3. I’m not sure the difference between a weed and the vegetable I actually planted. My radishes started sprouting within five days of planting, and I had to Googleimage search what early radish sprouts look like prior to weeding.

Each day I tend to my garden, it’s exciting to see what new growth is found. I fear I may have over-planted my plot, but my master gardener friends all assure me it’s better to over-plant than to under-plant and can always thin my rows as they grow.

While I’m only about two weeks in, this has been a fun experience, and it’s great that Coupeville created this garden for the public.

I’m enjoying seeing what other gardeners are doing and how they are planting and the various methods they use.

There are still about 40 plots available. And I bet there’s still time to get a plot going. Applications can be found on the Town of Coupeville’s website, www.townof coupeville.org Plots are $30 for the season, which ends in October.

All the tools a beginning gardener will need are right on site, including water. I’ve been able to plant an array of vegetables, possibly more than I would even be able to consume.

If that ends up being the case, Gifts From the Heart food bank is always willing to take those extra veggies.

NY Times journalist to kick off lectures Editor, A very successful fundraising lunch was held at Useless Bay Country Club late last month by members of the Trudy Sundberg Lecture planning team.

We thank all those who attended, and especially our speaker, Bob Whitsitt, who donated his time and shared his unique — and very entertaining — sports perspective. We also recognize and thank the generosity of our donors and sponsors.

The event marked an important step in achieving our goal of bringing an eminent speaker to Whidbey Island for the annual Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecture.

The first Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecturer will arrive on Whidbey Island in May 2016. Hedrick Smith, a former New York Times Washington Bureau chief, has written five books and produced more than 50 hours of documentaries for PBS and Frontline. His most recent book, “Who Stole the American Dream?,” made The New York Times national bestseller list. He is a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and editor, an Emmy Award–winning producer and is considered one of America’s most distinguished journalists.

Plans for Hedrick Smith’s visit include a formal lecture, open and free to the public, interactions with Whidbey high school and college students, and a

private gathering to meet with him on a more informal basis.

This will be the first of many annual lectures to honor Trudy and draw large audiences to discover information and exchange ideas in a setting not readily available to the Whidbey community.

If readers are interested in learning more about the lecture series, and especially if they would like to help plan and host the Hedrick Smith Lecture event on Whidbey next year, please contact me at 360-675-5888 or email mfgold@comcast.net We welcome readers’ inquiries, ideas and enthusiastic participation.

Object to COER’s mission of closure Editor, Since the late 1940s, our family has owned and paid taxes on property between Deception Pass and Ault Field.

We have been subjected to our share of noisy jets and have ceased talking when the jets drown out conversation.

But we do object to COER’s wish to excuse Coupeville’s Outlying Field from all touch-and-go flights and concentrate them at Ault Field. (And we also object on behalf of visitors to Deception Pass State Park, which is the most popular of all our state parks.)

As to COER’s suggestion to shove the Navy training into Eastern Washington or to another state altogether, that is merely COER’s NIMBYism talking.

Our United States Navy should not be handicapped in any way from whatever practicing it takes to train our young men to accomplish successful carrier landings.

Some creepers are definitely keepers toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel More than once I’ve watched a gardener bend down to examine something growing in a pot or in one of their beds and say, “I don’t remember planting that,” or “I don’t know where that came from.”

Sound familiar?

We all have a horror story or two about a plant that crept in in the dead of night, took over one small corner of our landscape and then 90 percent of it and refused to be evicted.

On the other hand, there are times of delightful serendipity when some little, appealing flower decides to take root, get busy and fill our flower beds — and our lives — with a bit of grace and joy.

When it comes to creepers — plants that start over here and end up over there — it can go either way. For those who don’t like looking at bare soil, creepers can be the answer to their prayers. For the ones who like each plant to stand in its own little circle of negative space, creepers could be a curse. Or they could at the very least set in motion a struggle to balance their

place in the garden with a natural urge to take over the world.

This isn’t about the big bruisers: the creeping ceanothus, catoneaster or kinnikinnick that are often planted to keep out weeds but end up forming a lattice of branches that make it nearly impossible to dig out the grasses and dandelions that inevitably move in anyway.

This is about the little guys, the ones that look so innocent in their four-inch pots but just keep on going, as if Energizer were in the nursery business.

One I’m fond of is blue star creeper (Pratia pedunculata) which has star-shaped blue flowers and thrives in either sun or partial shade. It travels via underground rhizomes and can pop up in unexpected places, so keep your eyes peeled with this one. It looks good in a swath or in between pavers.

Corsican mint (Mentha requienii) is one of my all-time favorites. It tends to like partial shade over full sun and prefers soil that’s not nutrient rich. For this reason, I have trouble keeping it in a pot. It isn’t a fast spreader horizontally, but it has tiny flowers that send seeds hither and yon.

It invariably turns up in the gravel in my driveway.

Put it where you can walk on it barefoot or run your fingers across it. The scent is divine.

Kenilworth ivy (Cymbalaria aequitrilobia) is one of those creepers that so many people recognize but don’t know what it’s called.

It has little purple flowers, forms runners both under and above the soil, and easily adheres to rocks and other surfaces. It’s a good choice for a shady wall you want to cover. It’s not really an ivy, and it’s pretty easy to pull off if (when) it starts to take over.

Finally, lots of people have a love/hate relationship with creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia).

In fact, there are a lot of annoying plants in the genus Lysimachia, so don’t feel bad if your feelings run on the hate side rather than the love side. It has green or yellow foliage with yellow flowers and spreads horizontally, rooting at nodes as it goes. It likes sun and partial shade and is probably coming to a yard near you sometime soon.

Then you, too, can say, “I don’t remember planting that.”

1st-round knockout

Coupeville falls in district baseball, soccer openers

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

After decades of being a member of District 1, Coupeville High School’s first foray into the District 3 spring playoffs was a short one.

In loser-out, first-round games Saturday, May 9, the Wolves’s baseball team lost 1-0 to visiting Cascade Christian and the Coupeville soccer team fell 5-2 at Charles Wright Academy.

1st-inning run is all Cougars need for win

The Cougars scored in the first inning and pitcher Tyler Fox blanked the Wolves to allow Cascade Christian to move on in the tournament.

Last spring, Coupeville advanced through two rounds of the playoffs to reach the state tournament before losing a 2-1 heartbreaker to Rochester.

TURN ON THE LIGHT…

The Wolves and coach Willie Smith were hoping to erase some of the sting of that loss with a strong tournament performance this season, but Cascade Christian had other plans.

Two days earlier, Coupeville lost its final regularseason game to undefeated and top-ranked Klahowya in similar fashion, 1-0 on a firstinning run.

With one out in the top of the first inning, Cascade Christian received a walk from Coupeville pitcher Aaron Curtin. The runner moved to second on a passed ball and to third on a ground out.

The next Cougar hit a bounder to Coupeville third baseman Julian Welling.

Welling, ranging to his left, was able to get the tip of his glove on the ball and keep it from slipping into left field.

The infield hit was good enough to drive in the game’s

lone run.

Curtin shut down the Cougars the rest of the way, allowing only two other hits and one other walk while striking out four.

“He threw well enough for us to win,” Smith said.

Coupeville’s best chances to score came early in the game when it registered its only two hits off Fox. With one out in the bottom of the second inning, Carson Risner lined a single to right and the ball skipped by the Cougar fielder, allowing Risner to reach second.

Courtesy runner Joey Lippo was bunted to third, but the next batter grounded out to end the inning.

Clay Reilly started the Coupeville third by slashing a double down the left field line. After failing to bunt Reilly to third, the next Coupeville batter struck out. Fox then added another strikeout and ground out to squash the threat.

The Wolves’ next best opportunity to score came in the sixth when Cole Payne coaxed a leadoff walk. Again, the Wolves couldn’t get a bunt down, and then Payne was doubled-off on Josh Bayne’s line out.

“We couldn’t advance anyone,” Smith said. “In a game like this, you can’t win if you can’t move runners.

“Coming into the game, I felt our biggest unknown was ‘Are we going to hit?’ We didn’t, and we lost.”

Even though his club lost, Smith liked its effort this

Coupeville and its five seniors (Kyle Bodamer, Aaron Trumbull, Curtin, Bayne and Risner) ended the season with a 9-10 record.

Early goals doom Wolves in soccer

Charles Wright Academy knocked the Coupeville soccer team out of the playoffs with a 5-2 win at University Place.

“We have a bad habit of conceding early goals,” Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson said, and that trend continued as Charles Wright (103) scored quickly in each half.

Five minutes into the

game, the Terriers scored their first goal. Coupeville (3-12) countered with a goal from Abraham Leyva Elenes off an assist from Tanner Kircher, and the teams went into the break tied 1-1.

Just three minutes into the second half, Charles Wright took the lead for good.

“We had a hard time keeping them out from there,” Nelson said.

“It was quite warm at game time, and that might have drained us a bit by the second half. The boys did keep battling, and we were able to get one more goal toward the end of the game.”

Sebastian Davis tallied the goal with an assist from Leyva Elenes.

Junior pair wins events at Olympic League meet

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Coupeville High School juniors Dalton Martin and Makana Stone each earned individual titles at the Olympic League championship meet Saturday, May 9, at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo.

As a team, the Coupeville girls were seventh and the boys ninth in the 11-team meet. The girls, however, were first and the boys second among the four 1A schools.

North Kitsap, a 2A school, won the boys meet with 128 points; Coupeville finished with 14. The Vikings also won the girls title, scoring John Fisken photo

Dalton Martin tosses the discus in Saturday’s meet. The Coupeville junior won the event and finished fifth in the shot put. Teammate Makana Stone was also a league champion, winning the girls’ 400 meters. She placed second in three other events.

160.5; the Wolves totaled 45.

Martin was the discus champion, tossing the platter 135-10. He also finished fifth in the shot put in 40-05.5.

Stone won the 400 meters (59.68) and finished second in three other events.

She was runner-up in the 200 (27.25) and in the 4x100 (51.72) and 4x200 (1:48.98) relays with Marisa Etzell, Lauren Grove and Sylvia Hurlburt.

Wolves crush 1st-place Klahowya

Tennis team goes undefeated in league

Hammer leads offensive assault as Coupeville piles up 20 runs; district playoffs begin May 22

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Lifted by a grand slam and a three-run triple by Hailey Hammer, the Coupeville High School softball team concluded conference play with a resounding 20-4 win in six innings over first-place Klahowya Thursday, May 7, in Silverdale.

The Wolves finished third in the Olympic League with a 5-4 record.

The Wolves (6-10 overall) tangle with rival South Whidbey at 4 p.m. Friday, May 15, in Langley in the first of three nonleague games before heading to the district tournament May 22.

With the score tied at 2-2 in the third inning at Klahowya, Coupeville rallied for eight runs to begin the rout.

Three walks and singles by Lauren Rose, Tiffany Briscoe, Monica Vidoni and Jae LeVine and a three-run triple by Hammer fueled the inning.

The sixth inning was also a big one for

the Wolves, as they scored seven runs.

Hammer’s bases-loaded home run highlighted the uprising.

Rose, Hope Lodell and Robin Cedillo singled and Katrina McGranahan doubled in the inning.

Hits by Rose, McGranahan and Vidoni helped Coupeville score two runs in the first inning.

The Wolves’ three other runs came in the fourth with the help of four walks and a single by Hammer.

Hammer finished the day 3-for-6 for nine RBI. Rose went 5-for-6, and McGranahan and Vidoni each finished with two hits.

McKayla Bailey walked six times and scored four runs.

McGranahan picked up the pitching win, striking out seven. She received defensive help from Briscoe, who made a nice running catch in left field.

“Everyone hit today and made it on base,” coach Deanna Rafferty said. “It was a great offensive game. I am proud of my girls; they played with grace and sportsmanship.”

BURT’S SAW & MOWER

Soon after the Coupeville High School girls basketball team finished its league schedule unbeaten and atop the Olympic League standings, the Wolves tennis team began preparation for its season. Tennis coach Ken Stange, referring to the basketball team’s success, asked, “Why not us?”

Why not, indeed.

Stange’s squad wrapped up its own undefeated Olympic League season (6-0) with a 6-1 win at Chimacum Thursday, May 7. The win was the Wolves’ 10th straight; they finished the year with an 11-3 overall record.

During the streak, they avenged losses to two of the teams that beat them in nonleague matches early in the season.

Day of Prayer

Members of the faith-based community gathered last Thursday outside the Island County Courthouse for National Day of Prayer.

Representatives from all over the island led prayers on various aspects of society including prayers for the nation, public officials, military, businesses, families, schools and media.

A group of about 50 people participated in prayer and song, including Mayor Nancy Conard, who read a proclamation for the day.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation.

POULTRY: Mobile unit meets regulatory demands of industry From page 1 Farm Forum in Coupeville and truck driver from the unit’s resting place in Burlington.

It was the first time he’d taken the rig to Whidbey and is hopeful it won’t be the last.

“It’s a good fit for Whidbey Island,” Bauermeister said.

Several speakers came to share information at Nordic Hall, but it was clear that many of the roughly 30 attendees, some aspiring poultry farmers, were most eager to hear what Bauermeister’s unit was all about.

Poultry farming was once a major enterprise on Whidbey with hundreds of thousands of turkeys and chickens roaming farmlands.

Meeting the demands of a growing local food movement makes the idea enticing again, particularly with a mobile unit that will pull up to one’s farm and process the poultry for the farmer, requiring only potable water and electricity.

“I think it’s all related to people wanting to get closer to the source of their food,” said Karen Bishop, a Coupeville farmer who also is district manager of the Whidbey Island Conservation District, which sponsored Monday night’s forum.

“You could push back against more of a commercial model. It’s also something they just want to do.”

The mobile poultry processing unit has been in operation in three northwest Washington counties for nearly a year, has a reservation in San Juan County and is looking to add Whidbey.

The unit was funded by a grant through the Whatcom County Foundation’s Sustainable Whatcom Fund. The program is designed to help producers by taking specific processing regulations that must be followed and stringent guidelines for facilities used out of their hands.

For paid NABC members, the cost to process each whole chicken is $4 with a minimum service call charge of $400 per day.

Chickens, turkeys, waterfowl and game birds can all be processed through the unit.

Although it’s a messy process, Bauermeister said it’s sterile, convenient and relatively fast.

The unit is WSDA certified and involves a staff member in three different compartments.

The first compartment is a kill unit where the chicken is bled out first, then scalded, plucked and fed through a chute into a cleaning

Children who are already part of the Boys and Girls Club will benefit from the program.

Hughes said Food Lifeline will allow them to adjust amounts each week depending on how much response is gained.

“We want to see how many kids we are serving,” Hughes said. “We don’t want to waste food. We’ll start with a lower number and then increase it as needed.”

CANDIDATES: New faces file to serve on Coupeville Town Council From page 1 in leadership, I felt I could (contribute to) the stability,” Ballay said.

She filed for Position 3, which is being vacated by Molly Hughes, who is running for mayor.

“I think maybe a lot of people will say, ‘Who are you,’ but in the three years I’ve been here, I’ve felt welcomed,” she said.

Ballay grew up in a small town called Victory in upstate New York. She said the town was similar in size to Coupeville and very agricultural.

“I love Coupeville,” she said. “I can see the need for business and tourism but not too fast or out of our control. It’s not like I’m coming with outside ideas, I just want to keep Coupeville what it is.”

“We also had one light, but ours was flashing,” she joked.

BALLAY MOVED to Virginia, where she worked for National Geographic for more than 20 years. She started proofreading and moved to index and later production.

While Ballay has lived in Coupeville for just three years, she first discovered the area 40 years ago when her brother was stationed at Whidbey Island Naval

Air Station and married a woman from Coupeville.

“I’ve been connected to the island for 40 years,” she said.

Prior to moving to the island, Ballay researched the area and organizations. During her search, she discovered the Community Health Advisory Board, which operates under Island County Public Health. She now serves as chair.

She also recently got involved with the Neighbor Emergency Team, or NET, helping on an administrative level.

Ballay said she thinks the town is running well and she hopes to contribute where she can.

“I think civility and gentleness are two important things,” she said. “We should listen to everyone’s point of view and not make decisions based on emotions.”

ANOTHER CANDIDATE new to Town Hall is Lisa Bernhardt, who announced her intention to run last month.

“I’m really passionate about the community, and I already volunteer, so I figured why not throw my hat in the ring,” she said. “I would like to have input on my community. I want to be part the process that makes Coupeville, Coupeville.”

Bernhardt said when she

learned there would be open seats coming up on council, she approached outgoing Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard to find out what the job entailed.

Bernhardt filed for Position 2, which is currently held by longtime councilman Bob Clay, who announced he will not seek reelection.

Bernhardt has lived on Whidbey Island since 1980 and has spent the last 21 years in Coupeville.

She’s been the director of the Pacific Northwest Art School for the last 10 years and serves on the board for the Island County Economic Development Council. She’s also active with the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, serving as president for three years.

AS PREVIOUSLY announced, councilwoman Molly Hughes filed Monday to run for mayor.

Hughes is a 20-year resident of Coupeville and has raised two sons in the community.

She’s served three terms on Coupeville Town Council and has been involved in many community groups and organizations, including serving as president of Gifts from the Heart food bank and the Coupeville Lions Club.

“I believe I have a good work ethic and a lot of common sense,”

she said. “I lead by example, and it’s important to me that those I work with feel included in decision making and valued for their contributions.”

COUNCILWOMAN JACKIE Henderson and Coupeville School Board member Christine Sears both filed for their seats.

Sears was appointed to her seat last year when former board member Don Sherman resigned.

Glenda Merwine’s seat is also up on the school board, but she had yet to file as of press deadline.

The Port of Coupeville also has two seats up for re-election on the three-member board.

John Carr, who was appointed to his seat in January, and Marshall Bronson, had both not filed prior to press deadline.

OAK HARBOR resident Erika Carnahan filed to run for the Whidbey General Hospital board seat currently held by Oak Harbor resident Nancy Fey, who was appointed to the position in 2013. Fey also filed for the seat.

Carnahan hadn’t previously announced her intention to run.

She has worked in medical administration and billing for more than 15 years. Currently employed at Rue and Primavera Rehabili-

tation in Oak Harbor, she also worked part time at Whidbey General Hospital during her career.

Carnahan said she loves the hospital but feels the administration could use restructuring to encourage more team work.

“It really is all about the patient,” Carnahan said.

Carnahan said she is running because she believes in the importance of the hospital but believes it could better serve the community.

“I firmly believe the hospital needs to be here,” Carnahan said.

“I don’t want to see it fall apart.

There need to be changes so the community gets the service it deserves.

“The complacency gets to be too much.”

Coupeville resident Georgia Gardner, an incumbent hospital commissioner, filed for reelection.

Greenbank resident Ron Born filed to run against her.

Filing week started 9 a.m.

Monday and continues through 4 p.m. Friday. For a few hours Tuesday morning, candidates weren’t able to file electronically because of an outage involving Northwest Open Access Network that affected the state’s election web applications, according to the Office of the Secretary of State.
