Filing Week fills seats, but doesn’t bring race competition By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
As Filing Week drew to a close Friday, open seats throughout local Coupeville government filled, but all without challengers. The second half of the candidate filing period did bring two new candidates for Port of Coupeville. David Mishasek, a Coupeville transplant, filed for the position being vacated by appointed commissioner John Carr. He said he first considered running for the port after seeking information about the Greenbank Farm’s solar energy project. After running into a past employee of the port, Mishasek said he started researching the government agency and picking brains of those involved with its in-

Teacher earns state recognition By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter
When Wilbur Purdue heard his name announced during a ceremony recognizing the state’s top achievers in history, he wasn’t sure what was going on. “I thought maybe I left the lights on in the car,” Purdue said. “My wife said I looked angry and confused. I was confused.” Purdue admits he had partly tuned out the lengthy awards ceremony during Washington State History Day at Green River Community College in Auburn earlier this month because the category in which his Coupeville students were entered had long since passed. But when it came time to recognize the state’s top teachers in connection with Na-

Surprise! May 16 named Ken Hofkamp Day in Coupeville By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter
Ken Hofkamp was at a loss for words. Standing underneath a tent outside his Prairie Center Red Apple store, he was preparing to grill some hot dogs when a parade of people suddenly approached on foot. When they started singing, Hofkamp realized something was up. “I wasn’t even paying attention,” he said. “That corner’s always so busy. You never know who’s doing what.” More than 50 friends and supporters showed up at the Prairie Center store Saturday morning to thank the store owner for his 43 years of supporting the Coupeville community. There was neither a retirement to celebrate nor a signature anniversary to recognize, just a heartfelt thank you for a soft-spoken man who’s become a pillar in the community. “He purchased the store from Muriel and Herb Pickard,” said Margie Parker, who or-
ganized the surprise event. “They owned the store and the lumberyard. They were very generous with the community. He’s continued that legacy.” Muriel Pickard was among the familiar faces in the crowd who surprised Hofkamp. She was in on one of the town’s best-kept secrets as was Mayor Nancy Conard. “It was totally a surprise,” Hofkamp said. The idea started with Parker and quickly gained steam with several individuals and groups jumping on board, including Whidbey Island’s own Shifty Sailors, who customized lyrics to two songs and sang along with the
group. Conard even typed up an official announcement, proclaiming the May 16, 2015 as Ken Hofkamp Day in Coupeville. “This is my favorite kind of Coupeville day, recognizing people who make this community so great,” Conard said. Conard, who grew up in Coupeville, said she’s been a regular at the store as far back as she can remember, supporting a business and its owner who has continually given back to the community.

Community groups and veterans will converge on Coupeville Saturday for the annual Memorial Day Parade.
Parade coming Saturday By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
The streets of Coupeville will be filled to the brim with patriotism Saturday, May 23 as the annual Memorial Day Parade makes its way down Main Street. The parade starts at 11 a.m. at South Main Street and Terry Road and will go down Main Street to Front Street, up Alexander Street, turning on Coveland Street and ending at Coupeville Town Park. At the park a Remembrance Ceremony will be held featuring represen-
tatives from Coupeville, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and veterans. The All-Island Community Band will perform a “Musical Salute to the Armed Services” and after the ceremony free hotdogs and drinks will be served until gone, said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. While Coupeville holds the only Memorial Day parade on Whidbey Island, it isn’t exclusively for Coupeville. Residents from all over Whidbey and visitors attend the event. “It’s a fun event,” Eccles
said. “I think people do come from off island because it’s so unique. “It’s a special parade.” Community groups and organizations from all over the island participate in the parade. Veterans from around the area can be seen along the parade route riding in classic cars. This year’s parade grand marshal is Harold Johnson, a Pearl Harbor survivor who was aboard the USS Oklahoma and remaining member of a survivor’s group that participates in Coupeville’s celebration each year.

Rory Westmoreland is out of jail after serving 75 days earlier this year, but his troubles are far from over. The former owner of the Deep Sea crab boat — which burned, sank and spilled fuel in Penn Cove — is facing another lawsuit. This time, a team of lawyers for the federal government filed a complaint against the Renton scrapmetal dealer in U.S. District Court, demanding reimbursement for clean-up costs in excess of $2.79 million. The lawsuit was filed May 11, one day shy of the threeyear anniversary of the calamity that spilled 5,555 gallons of diesel fuel and forced the closure of Penn Cove Shellfish for a month. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which reimburses agencies for the cost of spill-related cleanup. In January, the state Attorney General’s Office, representing the Department of Natural Resources, filed a lawsuit against Westmoreland in Island County Supe-
rior Court. The suit aims to recoup costs $1.2 million in costs incurred in disposing of the vessel. The Department of Ecology last year fined Westmoreland $301,000 for the oil spill that resulted from the Deep Sea sinking. The Island County Prosecutor’s Office also got into the action, charging Westmoreland with vessel abandonment, a misdemeanor crime. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 75 days in jail and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Deputy Prosecutor Chris Anderson laid out the background of the environmental mishap in a sentencing memorandum. Westmoreland, the owner of Northwest Steel & Recycling, purchased the 141-foot, steel-hulled crab boat from the Port of Seattle for $2,500 in November of 2011. Instead of taking the boat to dry dock, he had it towed to Penn Cove, where it was illegally anchored in stateowned tidelands in December of 2011. The state Department of Natural Resources first
9-Month
contacted Westmoreland in January 2012 and informed him that he either needed to remove the vessel or obtain authorization to keep it moored in Penn Cove. In March 2012, the DNR sent Westmoreland a notice of trespass that stated he would be fined for every day he failed to remove the vessel. On the night of May 12, 2012, the Deep Sea caught fire in what was later determined to be arson. It sank to the bottom and spilled fuel. The DNR contacted Westmoreland, who said he did not plan on taking responsibility for raising the vessel, but suggested that it be left on the bottom of Penn Cove. He said he did not know how the fire started but said he thought it might have been “kids playing with matches,” the memorandum states. Anderson noted that Westmoreland was never charged with arson in connection with the burning of the Deep Sea. After the Deep Sea disaster, state lawmakers toughened the laws regarding derelict vessels and the state’s response.

Wilbur Purdue, a high school science teacher in Coupeville and fifth generation farmer, has inspired students through the after-school National History Day program the past 12 years. He was named state History Day high school teacher of year.
PURDUE: Honored for History Day efforts From page 1 tional History Day, Purdue had no idea that some of his students and their parents had nominated him. Purdue, who teaches at Coupeville High School, was one of only two teachers from Washington who were recognized. He received $500, a plaque and was the state’s only high school teacher nominated for the national Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award. The nominees are those who have shown “outstanding creativity, commitment and inspiration in developing student interest in history,” according to a National History Day release. Purdue, who is a science teacher, has taught an after-
school program through National History Day in 12 of the 13 years he’s worked in Coupeville. The project-based program with an annual competition focuses on history for students in sixth through 12th grade. Several Coupeville students over the years have advanced to the national level. “Wilbur is the consummate, extra, go-above-andbeyond-the-call-of-duty type of teacher working with these History Day kids,” said Superintendent Jim Shank. “We’ve had great performances from students. He gets in there and takes care of business with them. He’s that kind of teacher.” “I’ve had 140-plus kids in the program over the last 12
years,” said Purdue, who also participated in the program when he was a student in Coupeville. “Forty of those made it to the national level for competition and several gained first in the nation. Coupeville has a long history of doing well.” Purdue, who earned a
bachelor’s degree in history at the University of Washington, said the community has been incredibly supportive over the years. “No kid has ever had to pay their own way to a national or state contest,” he said.

ner workings. Mishasek and his wife, Meg, moved to Coupeville from Colorado in March of 2014. While they moved for retirement, the couple said they still wanted to be involved so both joined the board for the Economic Development Council. “This feels a little meatier,” he said. “It’s real issues, real problems.” Mishasek has a background in business, primarily in the healthcare field, and has owned his own business. He said he views both the wharf and Greenbank Farm as valuable assets that need to be preserved and protected — all while maintaining the port’s budget. Also filing for an open port seat, William Bell, owner of Local Grown, filed for the seat currently held by long-standing commissioner Marshall Bronson. Bell is selling his coffee shop that currently operates at the wharf to David and Pat Howell, former Coupeville residents who are moving back. Pat Howell said at last week’s port meeting the sale is expected to go through June 8 or 9. Bell did not return calls for comment. Molly Hughes was the only person to file for the mayor race and three council seats will be filled by newcomers Lisa Bernhardt, Catherine Ballay and incumbent Jackie Henderson. Glenda Merwine and Christine Sears both filed for their seats on the Coupeville School Board unopposed and Steve Hutchinson filed unopposed for the Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue Board of Commissioners. In an island-wide race, a
Mishasek third candidate has entered the race for a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner seat. Rita Drum, a rural Oak Harbor resident, became the third person to file for position 2 on the hospital’s board of commissioners. She will go up against incumbent Georgia Gardner and hospital blogger Rob Born in the primary, which will narrow the candidates to the two top. Drum came to Whidbey a year ago after retiring from an East Coast career in the medical field, which she said will make her a valuable member of a board that lacks in that kind of experience. She was a pathology assistant and a histotechnologist at a hospital; she said the job required her to interact with just about all the departments, so she has a good understanding of how hospitals work. She became interested in running for the position after hearing so many people “speak ill” of Whidbey General. “We need to work to repair the reputation of the hospital,” she said, “and I can help.” n Co-editor Jessie Stensland contributed to this article.

Pair leads Wolves to league tennis tournament title By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
It was a singular day for the Coupeville High School tennis team. The Wolves, taking the top two spots in singles, won the Olympic League 1A championship tournament Tuesday, May 12, at Port Townsend. After going through the regular season unbeaten in conference play,
Coupeville continued its dominance in the postseason by scoring 10 team points, twice as many as runner up Klahowya. Chimacum finished with 3 points and Port Townsend 2. Jacki Ginnings captured the singles title, tripping teammate Valen Trujillo in the finals. Both will advance to the West Central District 3 1A tournament Wednesday, May 20, at Charles Wright Academy in University Place. The district singles and doubles

The pair qualified for this week’s district tournament. champions earn state berths. Results of Wednesday’s tournament were not available at press time. Ginnings opened the league tournament with an 8-0 win and then won 8-2 in the semifinals. Trujillo won 8-3 and 8-4 to reach the finals. In the all-Coupeville championship match, Ginnings won 8-4. Trujillo took an early lead, breaking Ginnings’ serve, but Ginnings recovered to pull away. The Wolves’ McKenzie Bailey lost 8-3 in the opening round of singles play. In doubles action, the Wolves’ Sage Renninger and Payton Aparicio placed third, and Micky LeVine and Sydney Autio finished fourth.
Both pairs won in the first round (Renninger/Aparicio, 8-2; LeVine/ Autio, 9-7) and then fell in the second (Renninger/Aparicio, 8-1; LeVine/Autio, 8-2). That pitted the two teams against each other to earn a trip to the match for second and third, and Aparicio and Renninger won 8-4. The freshman pair, however, lost 8-2 in the match for second place and a district berth. Coupeville’s Ana and Ivy Luvera lost to the eventual champions in the first round of doubles 8-0. “While we played well in doubles, we shined in singles, as we have all season long,” Coupeville coach Ken Stange said. “McKenzie nearly upended De Michelli of Port
Townsend. Jacki and Valen were on point. Valen had a bit of trouble in the opening round, playing against a soft hitter, but once she figured out how to generate her own pace, she was good to go. Jacki rolled over everyone until she met Valen in the final.” Stange noted that the tournament was the final appearance for seniors LeVine, Ana Luvera and Ivy Luvera. “(They) gave a combined 11 years to CHS tennis,” he said. “I’m grateful for all they’ve done. Over the last four years, those three have accounted for many wins and even more great memories. They’ve left a positive mark on CHS and its team.”
Wolves fall to South Whidbey in softball, prepare for postseason The Coupeville High School softball team dug itself into a deep hole and couldn’t recover in an 11-3 nonleague loss at South Whidbey Friday, May 15. The Falcons (7-13) mixed three errors with three hits to jump to a 6-0 first-inning lead
and never trailed. The Wolves scored two runs in the second inning and another in the third to trim the gap to 7-4, but South Whidbey tacked on runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth inning to pull away. Hailey Hammer started
Coupeville’s two-run second inning with a walk. Hope Lodell followed by reaching on an error, and Jae LeVine added another walk. A single by Monica Vidoni and an error off the bat of Lauren Rose produced the runs. The Wolves began the
third inning with a single by Katrina McGranahan, a double by McKayla Bailey and a single by Hammer to score their other run. Coupeville left 12 men on base, including the bases loaded in the third and seventh innings.
McGranahan led the offense with two hits, one a double. Bailey also doubled. Hammer was 2-for-3, and Rose went 2-for-4. Lodell, Vidoni and Robin Cedillo added singles. Coupeville (6-11) will play in the district tournament

BURT’S SAW & MOWER
Girl sprinters produced most of the highlights for the Coupeville High School track team at the subdistrict meet in Bremerton Saturday, May 16. The female runners, however, weren’t the only stars, as the Wolves gathered nine first places. The top three finishers in each event will represent the Olympic League at the district meet at North Mason High School at 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 22, and 10 a.m. Saturday, May 23.

KEN: Groups recognize community grocer for all his contributions From page 1 “I don’t think he turns down any nonprofits,” Parker said, rattling off various examples. “He’s always very helpful. I’ve been here with Relay for Life. He supports the Boys and Girls Club. He is a member of the Central Whidbey Lions Club. He is on the board of the Gifts from the Heart food bank. He supports the food bank with food and grocery bags. He supports Meals to Kids. He is on the board of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce.” Parker was just getting started. “He supports Soroptimists. Hearts & Hammers. The Water Festival. The library. He supports the farmers market and he’s also a customer at the farmers market. Peg Tennant is the market (manager). She says when she’s gone to meetings and talks to farmers market (managers), she’s never met anyone who had a local gro-
cer who was supportive of the farmers market. They all said they wish he was in their community.” Al Sherman, a retired farmer on Ebey’s Prairie, told Hofkamp that he remembered the day he took over the store. That was 1972 and Hofkamp was 24-years-old. Sherman said he could recall the words of Bob Blaine, a fellow grocer on the island who helped Hofkamp get started. “He told me, ‘He’s young, but he’s going to make it work,’” Sherman said. Hofkamp emphasizes to his group of about 30 employees the importance of customer service and being friendly. The store also delivers groceries to those unable to come in. “It’s all about the community,” said Hofkamp, who’s from Oak Harbor High School’s Class of 1966. “We have to serve our community.” “This store has been important in this community

Former Prairie Center owner Muriel Pickard thanks Ken Hofkamp for all his contributions over the years. for a long time,” Sherman said. “Ken competes with the big boys and people just think it’s the place to go.”
A Potato
Among them is Muriel Pickard, who still considers herself a regular. “He’s done wonderfully,” she said. “I don’t have to go anywhere else.”
The surprise caught Hofkamp off guard and brought out a few tears. He would soon get back to grilling the hot dogs for an anniversary sale. He wanted to find one of those sheets
that showed the lyrics to the songs, “Ken, You’re a Jolly Good Fellow” and “The Red Apple Sign.” “It’s a wonderful town,” he said. “This is a great community.”
