Whidbey Examiner, December 06, 2012

By Justin BurnettStaff Reporter

An online petition last week aims to shut down the U.S. Navy’s flight practice airstrip in Central Whidbey.

Launched Saturday, the petition seeks to end all Navy flight operations at the Coupeville Outlying Field, particularly touch-and-go maneuvers that are often conducted at night and require repeated approaches.

To find the petition, visit www.signon.org and enter “Ebeys” in the search box at the bottom of the page. As of noon Tues-day, the petition had nearly 580 signatures.

“I’m shooting for 10,000, but I’m happy with 500 in less than 48 hours,” said Ken Pickard, a lifelong Coupeville resident and the petition’s creator. “People are tired of this. They are beyond tired.”

Attempts to reach Whidbey Island Naval Air Station officials directly for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful, but base commander Capt. Jay Johnston did release a statement.

“This is the first I’ve heard of a peti-tion,” Johnston wrote. “We maintain an

open dialog with local officials in Coupe-ville and Island County and we will con-tinue to discuss any noise issues in the future with them.”

Located off Highway 20 just a few miles outside of Coupeville, the small landing strip has for decades been used by pilots from the base. The most common operations are touch-and-go maneuvers, in which pilots perform specifically to train for aircraft-carrier landings.

Complaints about jet noise are an is-sue every year, particularly when training operations increase before carrier-based squadrons are deployed, but 2012 has seen an increase in grumbling from Central Whidbey residents.

People have been showing up consis-

tently at Island County commissioners’ meetings with claims that flight operations appear to be on the rise and that the base’s new jet, the EA-18G Growler, is louder than its predecessor, the EA-6B Prowler.

While debate continues about whether the aircraft actually is louder, many of those complaints were reiterated again by petition signers, who range from farmers and business owners to elected and ap-pointed officials serving a variety of Cen-tral Whidbey organizations.

“The planes may not be technically louder but they are much more painful. The Navy must find a more remote place to fly and do it now,” Coupeville resident

Coupeville approves tight 2013 budgetBy Justin BurnettStaff Reporter

Times are still tough and with uncer-tainty about state funding next year, town staff are going to have to forego an immedi-ate pay raise in 2013, the Coupeville Town Council decided last week.

On Tuesday, Nov. 27, the five-member council unanimously approved the 2013 bud-get in a 4-0 decision. Councilwoman Dianne Binder was the only person not to vote as she was out of town on a pre-excused absence.

As noted by Mayor Nancy Conard, the $5.8 million budget is largely “status quo” as it’s only slightly larger than the $5.7 million plan that was adopted this time last year for 2012.

That fact, and because the council had already poured through the budget in an earlier workshop, resulted in little discussion during the meeting. Whether or not town staff should get a raise was one of the few topics discussed.

It would have been their first in four years and Councilman Larry Cort, who also

The Washington State Ferries’ vehicle reservation system is working as officials had hoped, decreasing traffic backups and dra-matically dropping the rate of reservation “no-shows.”

“Our main goal (with the reservation system) was to spread out the demand so we could manage more customers overall,” said Brian Churchwell, Vehicle Reservation Sys-tem deputy program manager.

“And the system caught on right away,” he

Members of the Coupe-ville School District Board of Directors were faced with a tough decision last week: who to choose as the student board member to serve for the next year.

Two well-qualified appli-cants submitted cover letters, resumes and several letters of recommendation from staff and faculty members. They faced board members for a public job interview.

“I’m really interested in representing my fellow class-mates,” said Heni Barnes, 17. “I enjoy helping other people.”

Barnes has spent her en-tire school career in Coupe-ville and has been involved in a number of activities, such as basketball in middle school, History Day through-out middle and high school, Jazz Band and the Science Olympiad.

She has been president of her class four times and has a long list of volunteer and community activities in which she’s been involved.

“I’m open-minded, I have fresh ideas and I can repre-sent all students accurately and without bias,” said junior Briess Potter, who also ap-plied for the position.

Potter also had a long list of activities and achieve-ments on her resume, in-cluding involvement in the Associated Student Body for several years and serving as the youth liaison for the Im-paired Driving Impact Panel of Island County.

She told board members she had always wanted to be a part of their panel.

“Since I made a presenta-tion to the board in elemen-tary school, I have always harbored the idea I could do

this position,” Potter said. “I have the personality and the mindset for this position and I feel I can accurately repre-sent the student body.”

“If students have sugges-tion I will try to bring those things that are important to the board,” said Barnes. “I’ve known student representa-tives before and they told me that by being on the board I can actually make a differ-ence.”

“I am proud to be the su-perintendent of a district with students like you,” said Kar-en Koschak. “This is going to be a difficult choice because you both have a positive atti-tude and are well-spoken.”

“I’m amazed at what our young people today will do to put themselves forward,” board President Kathleen Anderson said. “You both kept your thoughts in order

as public speakers.”Board members took a

five minute recess and ad-journed to the hall outside the elementary school’s li-brary to make their decision, which they reiterated was not an easy choice.

“Sometimes decisions are easy, sometimes they are difficult,” Anderson told the young women. “This is defi-nitely one of those difficult decisions.”

In the end, board mem-bers chose Barnes to hold the position of student represen-tative.

“Briess, your involvement in the superintendent selec-tion process, your tie is ex-tremely valuable,” Anderson said. “So we feel you are both in a position to contribute to the board and the district. Thank you for your willing-ness to serve.”

Outgoing student board member KT Wynn had wise words for the incoming Barnes, who will serve from December 2012 through No-vember 2013.

“Get prepped now,” Wynn said. “Don’t procrasti-nate on getting stuff done.”

Wynn said her experience over the past year has been invaluable.

“It’s been interesting to see how the board works,” she said. “The fact that I was able to have a say in that is important. It gave me a lot of respect for what board mem-bers do.”

Barnes was pleased with the board’s decision.

“I’m excited about getting to represent my peers and being able to bring their opin-ions and views to the board,” she said with a smile. “I want to make a difference.”

’Twas the Night Before Fiscal CliffBy Nick Thomas

‘Twas the night before Fiscal Cliff, and throughout the land,Democrats, Republicans were taking a stand.Their positions unwavering, intractably firm,

With donkey-like stubbornness or entrenched pachyderm.

But the public were hopeful all snug in their beds,With visions of compromise alive in their heads.“Come on!” said the people in frustrated dismay.

“Abandon this meaningless partisan fray.”

When Obama and Boehner finally met,Their first thoughts were not of a country in debt.And Obama, the chief, said to Boehner “Oh crap!

I’d rather depart for a nice winter’s nap.”

“I know,” sighed Boehner “I’ve plenty to do,Was planning to take a vacation or two.”

“Never mind,” said the Prez, “we’ll just keep delaying,Who cares what the grumbling public are saying.”

But out in the blogosphere there arose such a clatter,

The people revolted, resolving this matter:“There’s only one way to deal with such fools

Obama and Boehner must settle by duel.”

“No way!” said Obama, “I’m renowned for my peace.“With a medal of proof on my lounge mantlepiece.”

“I agree” cried Boehner, not eager to battle,And caught the first plane heading out to Seattle.

“Come back,” yelled the people, “we demand this by right,

You’ve had chances to talk, now you settle this fight.”But the pair, reunited, were far from impressed,

As the thought of a duel made them rather depressed.

As he pondered alternative White House residents,Obama now saw why we have the vice presidents.Quick thinking, as always, to Biden he beckoned,“Get over here Joe, and I’ll make you my second.”

“Now Joe I expect you’ll appear around dawn,

To face off with Boehner on the White House’s lawn.”“Yeah right!” smiled old Joe, “Would love to assist,

I ain’t packing no pistol – what if I missed?”

And then, in a twinkling, Obama’s next step,Was to call up more buddies, to be his next rep.

“Now Pelosi! Now Clinton! Now Durbin and Reid!But all vanished from Washington with notable speed.

“Oh dear,” mused Obama, “now what shall I do?”So he phoned up Boehner for a quick rendezvous.

“My friend, we are beaten, let’s abandon aggression.”“Agreed,” said the Speaker, “it’s time for concession.”

So they sprang into action, both recommending,Adding some taxes and cutting some spending.

Then I heard them exclaim, “We’ve reached a consensus!Good-bye Fiscal Cliff, we’ve come to our senses.”

Thomas’ features and columns have appeared in more than 250 publications, including the Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, and Christian Science Monitor.

Gingerbread contest continues County to auction delinquent land

The Island County Trea-surer will be auctioning up to 59 parcels of land to the highest bidder at 3 p.m. Dec. 13 at the Island County Com-missioner’s Hearing Room, 1 NE Sixth St., Room B102, Coupeville.

The parcels are being sold due to non-payment of 2009 and prior property taxes. Is-land County Superior Court ordered the treasurer to sell the property on Nov. 26.

The parcels range from an unimproved lot to a lot with improvements and have assessed values up to $734,715. At press time, the lowest estimated minimum bid is $1,295.59 and the high-est estimated minimum bid is $36,321.52.

All sales must be conclud-ed at the close of each bid.

The bidder must be pre-pared to cover the successful bid at the time the property is announced “sold.”

Failure to do so will trig-ger an immediate resale of the property to the previous high-est bidder and the defaulting bidder will be excluded from further participation in the auction. All payments must be made in full by cash, cashier’s check or money order.

Tax foreclosure sales can only take place after property taxes are at least three years delinquent. This sale is being conducted in accordance with RCW 84.64.

Those interested in the upcoming sale may go to is-landcounty.net/treasurer or call Julaine Smith, Collections Deputy at 360-678-7842 for information.

Coupeville boy aids in charity letter-writing projectBy Kathy ReedStaff Reporter

Coupeville third-grader Jonathan Carroll knows a thing or two about wishes and he’d like to share the joy this holiday season.

Jonathan wants to help grant wishes for seriously or terminally ill children by helping to raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation and he hopes lots of people on Whidbey Island will join in the effort.

Macy’s has promised to donate $1 — up to $1 million — to the Make a Wish Foun-dation for each letter to Santa it receives before the holidays.

Jonathan has created a special mailbox to collect let-ters to Santa and has placed it in the lobby of the Pacific NorthWest Art School in Coupeville. Kids and adults are welcome to write a let-ter to Santa using the theme “I believe.” His mom, Jenny Carroll, will collect all the letters and deliver them to Macy’s, which of course, will

then send the letters on to old St. Nick.

Jonathan and his family have a very good reason for wanting to help. It wasn’t that long ago when Jonathan was the recipient of a Make-a-Wish trip. Three years ago Jonathan went into kidney failure, due to an auto-im-mune disease. His doctor rec-ommended him for a Make-a-Wish trip, which the family was able to take last August, shortly before Jonathan un-derwent a kidney transplant.

“First I wanted to go on a Nick (Nickelodean) cruise, because you get to slide down into pools of green slime, but they told me I couldn’t do that because it wouldn’t be good for my kidneys,” Jona-than said. “I really wanted to go on a cruise, so we went on a Disney Cruise.”

Jonathan and his family — mom, Jenny; dad, Mike; and older brother Mitchell, 13 — all got to go on the trip, which was a major undertak-ing due to Jonathan’s illness.

“It was hard to imagine being able to go on a trip at that time, but it really gave us all something to look forward to,” said Jenny. “We were able to enjoy it without the worry.”

Jenny described how boxes and boxes of dialysis solution and machines had to be provided in order for Jona-than to make the trip. All of it was provided by the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

“We would never have done it otherwise,” Jenny said.

For Jonathan, the trip was a chance for him to feel nor-mal, to forget his illness. Even though he had to undergo dialysis every day, it didn’t seem to slow him down. He spent just about every waking moment on the watersides, which he described with great enthusiasm.

“The big waterside went out over the water and through the smokestack,” he said, using his hands to il-lustrate the twists and turns. “I must have gone down the shorter one at least 20 times.”

Jonathan underwent a kidney transplant in Novem-ber, 2011. His father, Mike, was the donor. A year later, one would never be able to tell Jonathan had been a very

sick young man. Today he enjoys playing basketball and video games and going to sleepovers. In the future, he wants to be an architect and design dams and bridges.

But it is obvious the Make-a-Wish trip made a big impression on Jonathan, who said he would recommend it other children in similar posi-tions.

“I would tell them to do

a Make-a-Wish trip because you get to do whatever you want and it’s really fun,” he said.

“We wanted to do some-thing to give back,” Jenny said regarding the letter-writ-ing campaign.”We thought it was a good idea and asked all our friends to write letters that we could collect. Then, we thought maybe we could get more letters by getting the community involved.”

Letters can be dropped off at the art school from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, until Dec. 22.

The school is located at 15 NW Birch St. in Coupeville.

Letters to Santa can also be mailed to the art school or taken directly to Macy’s.

“I hope everybody will write a letter,” said Jenny.

“I’m hoping we get $100, no, $1,000,” Jonathan said.

An i-Tunes card and a new remote-controlled helicopter and car, among other things, are on Jonathan’s wish list from Santa this year. But it’s clear the Carroll family has already gotten the best gift of all.

“It feels wonderful being back to normal, being a hap-py family,” Jenny said. “Jona-than is healthy and that’s a great thing.”


The 2013 issue of the popular Whidbey Island Almanac published by Whidbey Island's three com-munity newspapers is in the works.

The Almanac includes everything newcomers to the island need to know – and a lot of things old-timers didn't know or have forgot-ten.

It's distributed inside the newspapers and over the course of the year at vari-ous outlets throughout the island.

The Almanac includes an extensive listing of non-prof-it clubs and organizations covering all of Whidbey Island.

Anyone wishing to be included, or who wants to change information from last year's issue, should send an email as soon as possible to [email protected].

“People like helping Habitat for Humanity,” said Sandra Stipe, manager of the nonprofit organization’ retail store in Freeland.

“Habitat has hit on a good formula of helping people and having fun while we’re doing it,” she said with a smile.

The store, which opened in late 2011, occupies the building vacated last fall by Skagit Farmers Supply and offers affordably priced fur-niture, mattresses, building materials, plumbing fixtures and appliances – all donated by Whidbey Island residents.

“There are three ingre-dients in our success,” Stipe said. “First, we have wonder-ful volunteers who do every-thing from pick-up to pricing. Next, we have good quality donations from the com-munity. And finally, we have great customers.”

With the new South Whidbey store, Habitat for Humanity is building on the success of its Oak Harbor store on Pioneer Way. The Freeland Store is stocked pri-marily with donations from South Whidbey.

The Freeland store’s am-ple space allows Habitat for Humanity to accept not just furniture, but also recycled or new building materials, doors, windows, cabinets, sinks, toilets, tubs, showers and tiles.

“We hope homeowners doing remodeling projects or contractors will remember the Habitat for Humanity of Island County stores and bring us their donations,” Stipe said.

Do-it-yourselfers can also find bargain supplies for proj-ects at the Freeland store.

Volunteers pick up dona-tions, clean and repair items, price them and arrange them on the sales floor. Special at-tention is paid to wood furni-ture and antiques.

Volunteer Judy Corbin researches art and antique donations to determine their value, and prices are gener-ally lower than suggested worth.

“We have really generous donors,” said Corbin, point-ing to a gleaming walnut highboy desk (circa 1850) as an example of the good-quality donations the store receives.

“It’s amazing how quickly things come and go here, especially the antiques,” said volunteer Susan Knapp.

Couches, chairs and mat-tresses need to be clean and without tears.

Donated appliances must work. Some wood furniture gets sanded and refinished, and all furniture gets a good cleaning and oiling as needed.

“It’s hard work to get ev-erything ready to sell,” Stipe said. “But it’s worth it.”

Assistant Manager Jean Christianson echoed Stipe’s

Habitat expands reach with two retail stores

sentiments.“It feels good to create

change and help people find what they need,” she said.

Proceeds from both Habi-tat stores support the local organization’s mission of pro-viding safe, affordable hous-ing for low-income families in Island County.

Money earned through the Oak Harbor and Free-land stores enables the orga-nization to purchase land for homes, put in septic systems, and buy materials for Habitat projects.

Families chosen for a Habitat home must meet the criteria for level of need, and a willingness to pitch in with construction. They also must be able to repay a low-interest

By Nathan WhalenStaff Reporter

Years of work to add an-other layer of protection to Greenbank Farm came to fruition last week.

The Board of Island Coun-ty Commissioners approved a $335,000 conservation ease-ment for the agriculture, rec-reational and environmentally sensitive land located at the publicly owned farm.

The easement is funded by Conservation Futures Funds awarded by the commission-ers in 2011.

Pat Powell, executive direc-tor for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, said the Green-bank Farm is an important part of Whidbey heritage and the easement still provides enough flexibility to keep the farm’s commercial core eco-nomically viable.

The Monday approval came as a surprise to leaders of the Port of Coupeville, who said they were expecting the deliberations would continue almost to the end of the year.

The Port of Coupeville owns the Greenbank Farm.

“I’m just really pleased,” port commissioner Benye We-ber said of the approved ease-ment. “That’s been one of the reasons why I ran for a second term.”

The Port of Coupeville also agreed to surrender the development rights to seven acres of commercial land lo-cated on either side of Wonn Road. While preventing commercial development on those two rectangular strips of property, an option was written into the easement that allows construction of a park and ride lot.

The conservation ease-ment will be a boon to the Port of Coupeville, which has had to defer maintenance at the Greenbank Farm and the Coupeville Wharf because of revenue shortfalls.

Jim Patton executive direc-tor for the Port of Coupeville, said that the easement dollars will be talked about during the commissioners Dec. 12 meeting. He has a list of 10 to 12 potential maintenance items that include replacing the fuel floats and installing an additional restroom at the Coupeville Wharf.

One thing is for sure, the Port won’t be able to pay off its debt on the Farm. Patton said the port is obligated to continue paying more than $100,000 a year.

Easement protects farm


A new club at Coupeville High School has come in like a lion. Or perhaps Lion with a capital “L” would be more appropriate, since the Coupeville Lions Club is be-hind its creation.

“This is the opportunity for students to engage in ser-vicing the community, just like the Lions Club,” said John Kohlmann, Leo Club advisor and Coupeville Lion.

“The Coupeville Lions Club has a good reputation and it’s one of the largest clubs in the state,” he con-tinued. “That good image made the kids feel like this was a good link for them.”

The Leo Club is some-thing Kohlmann has had in mind for at least a couple of years. He attended a training session about the Leo Club at a Lions conference about a year ago and brought the idea back to the local group, which gave him permission to try to get a group started.

“Part of the process involved visiting the Leo Club in Friday Harbor and talk with them about what worked and what didn’t work,” Kohlmann said.

One recommendation from the Friday Harbor group was that the new club be set up as an independent club, rather than an official school club, which can some-times limit what groups are able to do, Kohlmann said.

Members of the Leo Club are technically representa-tives of the Lions organiza-tion when they participate in club activities, as opposed to

representing the school. Kohlmann said they

started recruiting members for the new group in April. In order to form an official club, there have to be 15 members. He said he and fellow Lions hung out at the school cafeteria during lunch, passing out flyers and talking with students.

“By the end of the school year, we had 12 kids signed up,” he said. “We planned a potluck picnic out at the Fort Casey pool, some of the kids brought friends, and that gave us our 15 mem-bers.”

The club has now re-ceived all the official docu-mentation and plans are in the works for the official chartering process, which Kohlmann expects to take place in January.

Since the beginning of the school year, membership has grown to include 20 stu-dents. The group meets twice a month during the school’s lunch hour.

At the group’s last meet-ing on Tuesday, Nov. 27, Mary Mitchell of Readiness to Learn was there to talk to members about plans to “adopt” a family for Christ-mas.

Different suggestions and scenarios were tossed around the table before members decided on a course of action.

Kohlmann encouraged and nudged the group to take action on another proj-ect it’s working on.

“In connection with tak-ing donations of items to send to the troop, I’ve been in touch with the Command-

Leo equals leadership, experience, opportunity

er and so he thinks this is going to happen,” he chided gently. “So it would be disap-pointing if we weren’t able to do it. It’s important to talk to people you know.”

Though the Coupeville Leo Club is new this year, Leo Clubs have been around for a long time.

Worldwide, more than 150,000 young people in 139 countries call themselves Leos. The organization is a great learning experience for the students, Kohlmann said.

“It provides leadership opportunities, community involvement; both are great values to teach kids,” he said. “When I visited the San Juan club, the students said they were seeing real value in be-ing involved in it.”

“It’s so interesting to see the quality of the kids

involved in the Leos,” said Lion chaperone Hugh Hedges, who has experience working with the Leo Club in Lakewood, near Tacoma. “The kids just wanted to help and it was such a learning session for me as well.”

Community involvement was the first thing that came to mind when students were asked why they wanted to join the Leo Club.

“I had an opportunity to go to the Lions Camp Hori-zon over the summer,” junior McKenzie Kooch said. “I really wanted to help out with the community and this seemed like fun.”

“This is just another way to help the community that I’ve been part of my whole life,” senior Drew Chan said. “It’s a way of giving back.”

“I was looking for a way to help the community and

volunteer,” freshman McK-enzie Rice said.

Whatever their reasons for joining, the club is off to a good start, according to Kohlmann. Now he hopes to keep the momentum going.

“It will be a challenge to keep this alive over the next couple of years,” he said. “Like any organization, it has to build its own reputa-tion and the kids have to have fun at it.”

Any student interesting in joining the Leo Club can pick up an application in the school office or e-mail Kohl-mann at [email protected]. There is a $20 member fee, which is paid to the Li-ons club.

It’s time for the Coupeville High School winter athletes to hit the court for the 2012-12 season.

Boys’ Basketball Coupeville looks for fresh start

A new year brings new dreams for the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball team as it would like to forget the nightmare of 2011-12.

Coupeville, which had only one senior on its roster, struggled through a winless season last winter and lost most of the games by sizable margins.

Coach Anthony Smith put a youthful squad on the floor, doling out big minutes to two sophomores and four freshmen — not a recipe for success in varsity basketball.

Now, with a year of ex-perience, the Wolves “hope to compete, to be in games,” Smith said, although his team is still young with only two seniors.

He added, “The schedule looks like if we compete, we will get some wins.”

The fact Coupeville played a rugged nonleague schedule last year didn’t help matters. This time around powerhouses Meridian and Bellevue Christian aren’t on the slate, but tough La Con-ner, Friday Harbor and Uni-versity Prep remain.

New opponents Blane, Orcas Island and Mount Vernon Christian are less for-midable.

The Wolves lost only two players off last year’s club, Mitch Pelroy, who graduat-ed, and Taylor Ebersole, who moved to La Conner.

Back are three starters: junior Gavin O’Keefe, junior

Back row, left to right: Katie Kiel, Lauren Escalle, Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Makana Stone, Bessie Walstad, Hailey Hammer and Rhiannon Ellsworth. See WINTER, page 12

Nick Streubel and sopho-more Aaron Curtin.

However, O’Keefe suf-fered a broken ankle Tuesday evening while playing Univer-

sity Prep. He is anticipated to be out 4-6 weeks.

Four others who saw significant minutes also re-turn, seniors Drew Chan and Caleb Valko and sopho-mores Carson Risner and Aaron Trumbull. Among the newcomers who should see varsity playing time this year, according to Smith, are fresh-man Wiley Hesselgrave and juniors Morgan Payne and Anthony Bergeron.

Smith said, “A lot of the kids have the desire, but they need the confidence.” He not-ed that confidence will come with experience.

Numbers are up this year, Smith said, with about 25 try-ing out for the team, 10 more than in 2011-12.

With a larger squad, Smith said the Wolves will be able to play a different style of ball this year. He, however, would not elaborate on the changes because he doesn’t want to “tip his hand.”

Coupeville started the season last Saturday with

Blaine; see page 12 for details of that game. Tonight they go to La Conner and tomorrow they host Cedarcrest at 7 p.m.

Girls’ Basketball Wolves start season as road warriors

Hit the road, Jack. Or, in this case, Jill.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team has a brutal schedule this year as it begins the season with six straight away games. Then after the home opener (at 5:15 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14 against South Whidbey), the Wolves get back on the bus for another pair of trips. In all, 12 of their 20 games are out of town, including all six nonleague games.

That is a tough way to start for a team hoping to improve on last year’s 2-17 record. The Wolves, under first-year coach David King, will look to the middle for its leadership and strength. Returning are the three play-

ers who manned the post positions last year: 5-9 senior Bessie Walstad, 5-8 senior Jai’Lysa Hoskins and 5-8 sophomore Hailey Hammer.

Graduation robbed Coupeville of the outside players who earned a major-ity of the minutes last winter, as well as leadership and a large percentage of its scor-ing, King said.

He will look to four re-turning letter winners to fill in those spots: 5-4 senior Ha-ley Marx, 5-6 senior Lauren Escalle, 5-5 junior Amanda Fabrizi and 5-5 junior Bre-anna Messner.

“We will need to come together, support one another and get game experience,” King said. “On the offensive end we need to stay patient and let the play develop.”

King said the team’s strength is “our willingness to work hard every day to im-prove as a team and to play hard from the tip off until the final buzzer.”

Free-throw shooting played a key role as the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team split its first two games of the season.

The Wolves sank only three of 16 foul shots in a 28-21 loss at Cedar Park Christian in Bothell Thurs-day, then hit three crucial free throws in a 43-36 win at Me-

ridian Saturday.Against Cedar Park

Christian, coach David King said, “We did play tough de-fense, we just couldn’t put the ball in the basket.”

The Wolves were led by Makana Stone and Hai-ley Hammer with six points each. Breeanna Messner added four, Jai’Lysa Hoskins and Amanda Fabrizi had two each and Bessie Walstad one.

The Eagles led at the quarters 8-6, 20-10 and 27-12.

“We have been preaching it (free throw shooting) and practicing it, but it is not hap-pening yet,” King said.

It still wasn’t happening early against Meridian, but Walstad sank a pair of press-packed free throws and Fab-rizi one in the final minutes to sew up the win.

The Wolves started the game by making only three of 13 foul shots in the first

half and finished only 15 of 37 for the game, but they hit them when they needed them most.

The Wolves led by 10 in the fourth quarter when Me-ridian cut the margin to four in only a few seconds.

The Trojans then fouled Walstad and the senior calm-ly connected on both shots with 90 seconds left.

After a defensive stop by Coupeville, Fabrizi was fouled and she hit one of two to give Coupeville a more se-cure seven-point lead.

Coupeville out rebounded Meridian 35-25; Stone had six boards and Hoskins pulled down four on offense.

Escalle led the scoring with 11 points; Stone had 10; Walstad six; Haley Marx five; Hammer four; Fabrizi, Mess-ner and Madi Strasburg two each; and Hoskins one.

CHEERS FOR THE WOLVES: The winter-season Coupeville cheer squad: front: Emily Clay; middle, left to right: Caitlyn Connolly, Kirsten Pelroy, Iris Ryckeart, Jovanah Foote and Kylie Burge; back, left to right: Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Hurlburt, Elena Jimenez-Guerra, Destiny Bit-ting and Jessica Painter. Not pictured: Cheyenne Yocham, Therese Lee, Nicole Becker, Darian Emerick.

The goals, King said, are to consistently improve, com-pete, peak right before the playoffs and qualify for state.

King’s and Archbishop Murphy are expected to be the powers in the Cascade Conference, King said, add-ing that South Whidbey and Cedarcrest will also “be tough.”

The Wolves began its season last week with games at Cedar Park Christian and Meridian; look elsewhere on this page for deatils.

They play at La Conner at 6 p.m. tonight and go to Cedarcrest tomorrow and Lakewood at 7 p.m. Tuesday before finally playing South Whidbey at home.

CheerEck takes over as head coach

Coupeville High School selected Cheridan Eck re-cently to be the new cheer coach for the winter season.

Long-time coach Sylvia Arnold took a leave for per-sonal reasons but may return for in the fall for her son’s senior season of football, Eck said.

Eck is not totally new to the program. She co-coached with Arnold this fall and helped out from time to time in the past.

Her background is im-pressive. Eck said, “Singing, dancing and acting is my thing.”

She spent six years on the Seattle Sonic dance team and performed professionally in Broadway musicals and TV shows.

Her passion for dancing will carry over to the Coupe-

ville squad.“My goal is to show the

girls that we can integrate more dancing for crowd en-tertainment and have some fun while still keeping their love of cheering,” she said.

As a fitness instructor, Eck will also add strength training to the team’s work-outs to teach correct tech-niques and body alignment which are “extremely useful when dancing and cheering.”

Members of this year’s team are Emily Clay, Caitlyn Connolly, Kirsten Pelroy, Iris Ryckeart, Jovanah Foote, Kylie Burge, Elizabeth Bish-op, Sylvia Hurlburt, Elena Jimenez-Guerra, Destiny Bitting, Jessica Painter, Chey-enne Yocham, Therese Lee, Nicole Becker and Darian Emerick.

Winter: Sports; from page 9

It wasn’t supposed to start like this.Coming off a winless season, Coupeville

High School boys’ basketball coach Anthony Smith expected his club to be more competi-tive this winter, but he didn’t count on a bug zapping his team.

With only six players for the varsity game and five for the JV contest, both Coupeville squads lost in the season opener against visit-ing Blaine Saturday; the varsity going down 57-17. Illness and several other factors left the CHS program shorthanded.

“We will get better,” Smith said. “It is not a good feeling to start this way.”

Among the missing were three potential varsity starters, according to Smith. Of the six varsity players who did compete, three played while ill and took advantage of the trash cans around the Coupeville bench during breaks in the action.

“We are way better than the score indicat-ed today,” Smith said. “It is a testament to the kids that they showed up. They should have stayed home.”

Smith frequently rotated his six players to try to keep them fresh, but fatigue and nausea set in and the Borderites (1-1) pulled away.

Blaine led 17-5 and 27-12 at the end of the first two quarters.

Blaine scored the first eight points of the second half, then Drew Chan drilled a three-pointer for Coupeville. The Wolves wouldn’t score again until Aaron Trumbull connected in the game’s final minute.

Chan finished with five points, Carson Ris-ner four, Aaron Curtin three, Josh Wilsey two, Trumbull two and Gavin O’Keefe one.

The Wolves finished with 24 turnovers and hurt their effort by hitting only one of 13 free throws.

serves as Oak Harbor’s City administrator, said he was worried about the cumula-tive impact on their pay over time.

“I’m worried our em-ployees are falling further behind,” Cort said.

Town workers did, how-

ever, receive one-time pay-ments in lieu of a raise in both 2011 and 2012.

That amounted to a flat $1,200 payment — before taxes – for about 13 full-time employees and an FTE per-centage for about five part-time staff.

Conard’s proposed bud-get included neither a one-time payment nor a cost of living increase, but she did put together a document de-tailing how raises at various percentages would affect the city’s bottom line.

It made clear that some

hardships could be created for the future, but that it was not impossible.

“I could live with it either way,” Conard said.

She suggested the council delay making a decision now and review the town’s fiscal situation sometime in 2013.

Councilman Bob Clay, who voiced concerns about possible reductions in state funding sources and stag-nant sales tax revenues, voiced support for the pro-posal.

“I’d feel a lot better about that,” Clay said.

Cort also supported the measure but suggested the issue be scheduled now for review after the first quarter.

Included in the vote was an ordinance that increases the budget by 1 percent, as allowed by law. The increase tabs out to about $3,471.

Budget: Coupeville budget excludes staff raises; from page 1

Jerome Squire wrote.Others claim the noise

was having an adverse ef-fect on their health and that complaints to the Navy have fallen on deaf ears.

Still others argue that frequent jet operations are inappropriate for Ebey’s Landing National Histori-cal Reserve.

“The plane(s) are mak-ing it impossible for us to use and enjoy our won-derful national reserve,” Coupeville resident Geor-gia Gardener wrote in her comments on the petition. “It is not appropriate for them to be there.”

Gardener is also a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner and a former state legislator.

The reserve’s Trust Board has not taken a po-

sition on the issue, but at least one member, Fran Einterz, did sign the peti-tion.

He wrote on the peti-tion that he was like many residents who have been “stunned” by the noise gen-erated by the new jets and a difference in flight patterns.

“This past summer the flying around Coupeville rose to an intolerable level,” he wrote.

In a later interview, Einterz said he has nothing against the Navy and that his wish for the petition is to begin a discussion with Navy officials.

“I hope this petition will be used to spur a dialogue with the Navy and resolve our community issues,” Einterz said.

The petition, which

seemed Tuesday to have just as many people from South Whidbey or off-is-land communities as it did Coupeville residents, had very few signatures from North Whidbey.

The issue of jet noise has seemingly created some animosity between the two communities.

That came to head this fall when the Navy was seeking public comment for a study concerning the transition from the Prowler to the Growler platform.

One man, a Sedro-Woolley resident, even started the website, Growl-erNoise.com, to combat Central Whidbey “agita-tors” who were complain-ing about noise and flight patterns.

He could not be reached for comment in time for this story.

Jim Slowik, president

of the Oak Harbor Navy League, said the base has a major economic presence in the city and the county, supplying thousands of jobs to the area and dumping millions of dollars into the island’s economy.

The practice field is an essential element to its mis-sion and can’t simply be abandoned, Slowik said. The training that happens there insures the safety of American pilots who land on aircraft carriers.

“From the Navy League’s standpoint, we support the Navy and OLF where it is,” Slowik said.

“It’s so important to keep these guys safe,” he said.

Slowik also noted that the airstrip has been there as long as the base has been on Whidbey Island.

People who build houses or move to the area know that because they have to

sign agreements that ac-knowledge boththe base’s presence and the noise from jets, he said.

Support for the island’s armed forces means you ac-cept the with the good and the bad, he said.

“It’s a trade-off and you have to understand that,” Slowik said.

Pickard said his petition does not reflect a lack of pa-triotism or support for the armed forces.

“We’re not anti-Navy at all,” he said. “We support the Navy. We just don’t think they should be train-ing in a national park.”

“There has to be a way these pilots can be trained. This just isn’t the right place for it.”

Known as an activist by some and a pot stirrer by others, Pickard said he started the petition after ex-hausting attempts to work

with elected officials. For him, and many others, this is the last straw, he said.

“We’ve had it,” he said.Pickard is working with

a small group to establish a non-profit group called Cit-izens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment. The group had its first organiza-tional meeting on Tuesday.

According to Pickard, the petition will be sent to the U.S. Congress and Pres-ident Barack Obama.

The intent is not to offend service men and women, he said, adding that he sincerely hopes the Navy can identify an alter-native place to train but it can’t continue in Central Whidbey.

“The Navy just needs to stop flying here,” Pickard said. “That’s it. It’s over.”

Holding to tradition, members of the Coupeville Garden Club worked to keep the ho-ho-ho spirit alive and well in Coupeville last week.

Gathering at the group’s greenhouse at the middle school Monday and Tuesday, members crafted nearly 20 festive wreaths for the deco-ration of two public facilities around town.

Club members have been doing it for years and as al-ways, the holiday cheer was produced free of charge.

“It’s for the community,” said Bev Walton, a Coupe-ville resident. “That’s why we do it.”

A total of 18 wreaths were made for the Coupeville Rec-reation Hall on NW Cove-land Street – one for each

window — and another was made to spruce up the front entrance of town hall on NE Seventh Street.

Despite getting a wreath every year, the gesture is never lost on town staff and earned a few “ooos” and “ahhs” after it was put up.

“They are just the best,” Mayor Nancy Conard said.

How the tradition got started is unclear, but the wreaths are made in time for Coupeville’s annual green-ing, which was held this past Saturday.

The event included the morning Jingle run, road and water parades, and of course, the lighting of the Christmas Tree at Cook’s Corner Park.

But the wreaths aren’t made just for the event, said Garden Club Roberta Piercy. The organization’s central mission is to beatify the town

and this is just one of the many things they do to ac-complish that objective.

Of course, they have a lot of fun getting together and working on a mutually loved hobby.

“We love making the rec hall look gorgeous,” Walton said. “And it’s the hanging out here and yaking.”

Club members also spent time Thursday making wreaths with Terry Welch’s eighth grade students from the Coupeville Middle School. Like the wreath-mak-ing for the recreation hall and town hall, it’s become an an-nual past time.

Each year, middle school students make between 12 and 14 wreaths and then donate them to a charitable organization.

Welch said the children not only get a biology lesson

but also learn the value of community.

“I always enjoy doing this and the kids have a blast,” Welch said.

This year, the wreaths were donated to Holiday House, a gift giving program

managed by the Readiness to Learn Foundation for Coupeville and Oak Harbor.

Virginia Brown, a club member for the past 10 years and a former group president, agrees. She has served as the students wreath-making in-

structor for years and has a good time doing it.

“It’s fun,” she laughed.It’s also a good way of giv-

ing back to the school district as the group’s greenhouse is located on school property, she said.

continued. “With us offering 50 to 60 percent reservation availability this summer, all our reservation spaces filled up.”

“I would say the vast ma-jority of the feedback we’ve received has been positive,” said Joy Goldenberg, com-munications manager for Washington State Ferries. “We’ve heard from customer who have said it’s nice to be able to make or change res-ervations online and a lot of people in the Port Townsend business community have said it’s lessening the queues on the street.”

There has been some mi-nor confusion, such as people not understanding the fee charged when a reservation is made online. The fee col-lected is applied toward the overall ferry bill and is not added on to the bill. Vehicle length also caused a little bit of confusion, officials said.

“There was a survey that showed 35 percent of custom-ers feel their vehicle is under 14-feet and under, when in actuality, only about five per-cent of the vehicles were un-der 14-feet,” said Churchwell.

Car length is used by offi-cials to determine how many vehicles will fit on the ferry. If a number of people who thought their vehicle is less than 14-feet long, when it is actually much longer, it re-duces the amount of cars able to drive on.

“We now make all reser-

vations based on a 20-foot length to ensure we’re reserv-ing enough space,” Church-well said. “Any adjustments can be made at the toll both.”

As far as reservations causing a slow down at the toll booth, Churchwell said the delays were expected.

“It goes a lot faster for a reservation holder who shows up with the barcode in hand,” he said. “Our research shows that on the Port Townsend-to-Coupeville route in par-ticular, the majority of people have a passenger with them, so even if they pay the whole amount online, they’re still going to have to pay an ad-ditional amount at the toll booth.”

“We have no way to validate whether a person is a senior, adult, or disabled online,” Churchwell contin-ued. “That has to be done in person.”

Proposed cuts to ferry service and routes system-wide have caused the most complaints. At a community meeting Nov. 29 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Free-land, a group of more than 50 residents shared their con-cerns with David Moseley, the assistant secretary for the state Department of Trans-portation, Ferries Division.

Moseley told the crowd service cuts are necessary be-cause the ferry system is not financially stable. . Eliminat-ing the 12:30 a.m. departure from Clinton and the 1:05

a.m. departure from Mukil-teo Monday through Friday will save the ferry system $934,000. Likewise, a pro-posal to extend single boat service for eight weeks (four weeks in the spring and four in the fall) on the Coupeville-Port Townsend route will save the system $486,000.

That proposal will be decided by the state legisla-ture, but Coupeville Cham-ber of Commerce Executive Director Lynda Eccles said it’s never a good thing when service cutbacks come up in conversation.

“Anytime they cut back service, it’s going to impact us in some way,” she said. “If they’re going to cut services, I would prefer they do it at the beginning of the season rath-er than the middle or the end, because we do still get a lot of tourists coming over well into October.”

Goldenberg said the ferry system worked closely with elected officials and business owners to hammer out a sys-tem that would be workable.

As Phase 2 is implement-ed, reservations will be ex-tended to ferry service to the San Juan Islands, along with terminal improvements and system-wide reservations for commercial account custom-ers. Phase 3 of the system will extend the reservation system to commuter routes in the Central Puget Sound region and should be implemented in 2015.
