Liquor stores struggle with privatization By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
Nearly a year after a voter approved ballot initiative allowed liquor to be sold in large retail stores, the former stateowned and contract liquor stores on Whidbey are struggling. The liquor store in Oak Harbor closed in late 2012 while contract liquor stores in Coupeville and Freeland saw sales plummet by more than half since privatization went into affect. “It’s not going well,” said Pam Smith, owner of Coupeville Liquor on North Main Street, adding she’s not ready to jump ship. Coupeville’s Liquor store now competes with local grocery stores. She estimates that her business dropped about 60 percent since the market flooded with competitors. Ken Vaughan, manager of Freeland Liquor, said he’s lost a similar amount of business since privatization. His store is located close to a grocery store, which also started selling spirits after June 2012. When stores that were at least 10,000 square feet were legally able to sell alcohol, the number a businesses where people could buy booze skyrocketed. Initiative 1183 was approved by voters in 2012, and allowed large stores to sell alcohol beginning in June 2012. Prior to privatization, 328 businesses, both state-owned and contract stores, were able to sell liquor. After privatization, that number jumped to more than 1,500, according to the Washington State Liquor Control Board. On Whidbey Island, grocery stores such as Safeway, Prairie Center and Payless Foods, started selling liquor. Smith said in the months after privatization, she continues to diversify her offerings and offer spirits people won’t find in the larger supermarkets and pharmacies. “When they need a bottle of something really weird, they won’t find it anywhere on the island,” Smith said about what might happen if her business closed. She also started stocking craft beers and wines out of the North Main Street store she has operated since 1995. In addition to its eclectic selection of liquor, customers also enjoy the springtime appearance of young farm animals such as goats. This year, she has a rescue See STRUGGLE, page 16

Horse power: Farm tries new tool Freeland farming man incorporates equine energy By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
The pastoral landscape of Whidbey Island was the scene Wednesday of something that hadn’t been seen for years. Rather than the tractors that dot the
landscape of rural Whidbey Island, one man was using two fairly large horses to do some similar work. Greg Lange, owner of Draft Works Horse Logging and Custom Farming, brought his two draft horses up from his Freeland-based farm to plow seven acres of land located on the edge of Ebey’s Prairie off Fort Casey Road near Coupeville. “On the right scale, they are a better and more holistic way to get things done,” Lange said while he was guiding his horses along the field as they pulled a 70-year-old seed driller through the field. Pulling the seed driller were a pair of See PLOWING, page 16

Cousins spending their ‘best’ year together senior spotlight By Betty Freeman For The Whidbey Examiner
Two 18-year-old cousins are living their long-held dream of spending their senior year together and graduating from Coupeville High School. Just a month apart in age, cousins Cheyenne Yocham and Theresa Lee have been best friends their entire lives. Yocham is the youngest daughter of Shannan and Ted Neitzel, of Colville, Wash. Shannan is the sister of Theresa Lee’s father, Michael Lee, of Oak Harbor. Theresa, youngest child of Michael and Elaine Lee, moved to Whidbey Island with her parents three years ago. The family wanted to be close to her older sister Katherine Tobbler, whose husband is stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Cheyenne, who longed for adventure outside of small town Eastern Washington, came at the end of last summer to live with Katherine Tobbler and help with Tobbler’s two young children. “It was a positive move for me. I love living here and helping with the little kids,” said Yocham, adding she believes her nanny experience

Yocham and Lee commute together to Coupeville High School from Oak Harbor. Both were members of the cheerleading squad this year, and Lee has been a cheerleader since arriving her sophomore year. The two girls put their cheerleading skills to one final test when they created a flash mob dance to ask dates to the upcoming CHS prom. On April 17, at lunch time in the Commons, a boom box
played the Bruno Mars song “Locked out of Heaven” while four girls, including Lee, Yocham, Jai-Lisa Hoskins and Nicole Becker, performed an original hip hop dance which culminated in an invitation to two brothers to attend the prom. The young men were surprised, and both answered
“yes.” Yocham captured the action on her cell phone. “It’s definitely something we’ll be remembered for,” said Lee. “Everybody complimented us on the routine.” Yocham, who is a hip hop dancer and aspires to a career in choreography, created the dance for the flash mob. ‘
“I’m passionate about dance,” said Yocham. For her senior project, Yocham spent time with Sunday school preschoolers teaching them to dance. Lee and Yocham have also created a dance for the Holland Happening Parade in Oak Harbor. Lee aspires to be a psychologist, and hopes to eventually get a PhD. However, both young women expect to work for a while before going to college. “We’re planning to move to the Tri-Cities together after we graduate,” said Lee. “We want to get an apartment together and get jobs to save up for school.” Lee expects to attend Columbia Basin College and work next year. She also wants to write novels, an aspiration helped along by CHS English teacher Barbara Ballard.
“Mrs. Ballard really has a passion for what she’s teaching,” said Lee. “I really love English class, “said Yocham. Since they were small, the two cousins planned to live together one day. Nicknamed YaYa and T.T. by the family after their childhood names for each other, the two have spent vacations together, wrote, called and texted over the years. When the chance came to spend senior year together at Coupeville High School, Yocham jumped at it. “I wanted something new, and moving here was like a new beginning in my life,” said Yocham. “We’ve always dreamt of doing our senior year together. We’ve been planning this since we were little kids,” said Lee. “When we look back, I think we’ll remember this as our best year.”

Power outage a reminder for preparedness Remember when power outages used to be fun? As a child I got so excited when the power went out. It meant sitting by candlelight, playing games as a family and warming soup on the Megan Hansen wood stove. For some reason, Some perspective canned soup always tasted better that way. The best was grilled cheese and tomato soup. If we were really lucky, we got to eat any ice-cream on the verge of melting. My parents kept several oil lamps on hand to brighten any scary room and often we got to sleep in sleeping bags by the fire. There was almost something magical about power outages. Tuesday’s power outage wasn’t as I remember them being. As an adult, when the power goes, out it’s just a hassle. That child-like wonder is gone. Tuesday’s power outage was not as magical as I remember them being. Thinking back to those childhood outages, I wonder how my parents viewed them. They were probably thinking about the same things that come to my mind now. Worrying whether the week’s worth of groceries just bought are going to go bad, or whether or not the work you need to accomplish will get done on time. The power went out just as production was starting for the newspaper. Production is the time we actually design, build and edit pages for the week’s newspaper. It requires computers and electricity. Having the power out for two hours when you have a deadline to meet in five hours isn’t fun. But what can you do about it? Nothing but bust your behind and get it done. Issues like this can encroach into your everyday life, and while I can’t really help losing time on a deadline, there are things I and you can do about the other stuff. Being prepared for power outages and other natural disasters may just save your life. There are many resources available online to help families make sure they have the tools and resources they need to weather a storm, natural disaster or the occasional power outage. This week’s outage lasted mere hours. The next one could for be days. Are you ready? The Islands chapter of the American Red Cross is looking for groups to host “Safe in the Sound” disaster preparedness classes. The two-hour class focuses on three areas — what is needed in a disaster kit, how to make a plan and how to stay informed. For information about the classes call 360-293-2911.

Port commissioners should repay funds Editor, Port of Coupeville commissioners Marshall Bronson and Benye Weber should repay the public funds spent and wasted as a result of the false statements they made at the port’s Feb. 13 public meeting. Their statements described my unattended review of public records as “illegal” and “unethical.” After being threatened with legal action, both commissioners finally admitted my review of public records was not improper and was conducted with permission. It is one thing to make an honest mistake, but taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for the reckless actions of public officials. Before he made his accusations, I informed Bronson that I had permission from the port’s executive director to review the records. Executive Director Jim Patton gave me permission, and he has also stated that he discussed the matter with Weber before she made her accusations. It is only fair that the two commissioners repay taxpayers the amount of public funds spent on attorney’s fees and the amount paid to Patton, at $50 an hour, for his time on the issue.
This money could go toward the port’s legitimate needs, like the maintenance of Coupeville Wharf where paint is peeling down to bare wood. I am told the commissioners will not disclose the amount of money paid to the port’s retained attorney for his attention to this matter. I believe the public has a right to know and have it returned.

Blankenship leaving is a loss to the port Editor, We’ve lost a naturally gifted leader. I was so sorry to see the resignation of Laura Blankenship from the Port. And for there to be a subtle insinuation of negative motives shows only that you don’t really know Laura. She is a natural administrator. She has an “eye.” She can walk in and instantly see where the waste is, the loss of efficiency, the unnecessary expense, and how to improve and make successful any enterprise she becomes a part of. She is unflinchingly honest. She gives much more than is required when she commits to do a job: her brilliance, her wisdom, too much of her energy, and all of heart.

Volunteering at WAIF a good experience Editor, I’m writing to the Town of Coupeville to encourage young and older people to volunteer at WAIF Animal Shelter. The animals need the most love and care they can get, the employees can only do so much — the more help the better. I volunteer there and the staff is so nice and welcoming, they teach you what to do step by step for the best of the animals. For cats, they teach you how to clean cats cages and litter boxes with specific cleaning tools, some cats have diets, so there are different foods to give them. I hope this letter can get you up and on your way to WAIF to let dogs enjoy the sunshine and fresh air and cats enjoying loving playing time and brushing.

Bailey bill a step Getting dirt on garden soil back for society
Harry Anderson Guest editorial Last November, Sen. Barbara Bailey (R-Oak Harbor) was elected to Washington Senate District 10, representing all of Island and parts of Snohomish and Skagit counties. She carried a hair under 53 percent of the vote while ousting long-time Democratic Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen. In that same election, Referendum 74 regarding same-sex marriage was approved in Island County by a hair under 53 percent of the vote. It was also approved in Snohomish County by a hair under 53 percent and by just over 50 percent in Skagit County as it was passing statewide. Fast forward to early March. Two men in Richland start planning their now-legal wedding and ask the friendly florist they’ve patronized for nine years to do the flower arrangements. She refuses politely, citing her Christian opposition to same-sex marriage. All hell breaks loose, so to speak, on social media. Fast forward to April 10. State Atty. Gen. Bob Ferguson files a consumer protection lawsuit against the florist, citing state’s Consumer Protection Act, which makes it unlawful to discriminate against customers based on sexual orientation, as well as gender, race, religion or disability. Fast forward to April 25. Sen. Bailey and 10 other Republican state senators (but only Bailey from the Puget Sound area) propose a law that would give businesses the right to deny services or goods to any customer if they felt doing so was contrary to their “sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs or matters of conscience.” The proponents quickly note that the bill would not change the law regarding discrimination based on gender, race, religion or disability. It is targeted only at gays and lesbians.
Bailey and her other cosponsors are terribly wrongheaded with this backwardlooking, falsely labeled effort to protect “religious freedom.” Not long ago, “religious freedom” inspired racial segregation and Jim Crow laws across the South. Scriptural references to a “woman’s place” were long used to deny women equal opportunities in business — and politics. People with disabilities, sometimes called “demons” in Scripture, were often excluded from almost everything. Even more insidious in this new proposal would be the permission it grants to discriminate based on “philosophical beliefs and matters of conscience.” Does this mean a business may refuse service to someone who supported the “wrong” side of a political issue? Would it be legal to discriminate against a hunter if a business owner’s conscience abhors killing deers and ducks? Might a business owner refuse service to a women because he’s philosophically opposed to females in pants? This can of worms needs to be quickly closed and thrown in the trash heap, where it belongs. Our state has grown ever more tolerant in recent times, and rightly so. The days of discrimination based on dogma are gone. Religious freedom gives us the right to worship as we please and to associate with whomever we wish. But that freedom should stop at the cash register. If a business owner offers his or her service to the public, it should be available to all — no exceptions, regardless of the owner’s personal feelings about a customer’s sexual orientation. To go backward now, after the hard-fought gains of recent years for women, minorities and gay people, would be tragic and just plain wrong. Shame on Sen. Barbara Bailey for co-sponsoring this narrow-minded throw-back to the bad old days. Harry Anderson is a Coupeville resident an occasional contributor to The Whidbey Examiner.
toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Soil is made up of different kinds of particles, including sand, silt and clay. Sand provides good drainage, clay holds water and dissolved plant nutrients, and silt is a mineral particle halfway between them in size that is frequently deposited through flooding or wind. Most garden soils are a combination of all of the above. The best garden soils, however, have a higher concentration of silt, will also contain a lot of humus, or nutrient rich decaying organic matter, and are fluffy and crumbly to the touch. What you have on your
property may be much different. Have I mentioned the rocks? On Whidbey Island we are the proud owners of glacial till, a rocky residue left behind by a glacier that retreated between 15,000 and 18,000 years ago. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the numerous large rocks – or erratics – that are found everywhere here. The two biggest are the Big Rock, located behind Coupeville Coffee & Bistro on South Main in Coupeville, and Waterman Rock, which sits in an enormous divot at the top of Saratoga Woods near Langley You may have found some small erratics while you were putting in your new garden fence. They’re usually located right where you plan to put your post holes. Oh, trust me, you’ll find more. Those and tree roots, for those of you who live in the woods,
like I do. You need to turn your soil to remove the weeds and loosen it for planting. You can use a rototiller – with one eye out for rocks – or you can turn it by hand. Some people favor double digging, a low tech process that requires a shovel and intense back pain, but is less destructive of the beneficial organisms living in the soil. You can go either way, depending on your energy level, the amount of ground to be turned, and your personal gardening philosophy. Once you get your soil turned, you’ll want to find out what its pH and nutrient content it. You can do this using a home test kit from a garden center, or send a sample to a lab. The County Extension can point you in the right direction for a professional analysis. pH is a measurement of acidity or alkalinity on a scale of zero to 14, with bat-
tery acid at the low end and lye near the top. Seven is considered neutral. Most garden vegetables like neutral or slightly acidic soil, which is good, because all those big evergreens you see overhead contribute to the low pH of our soils. Your soil test should also tell you how much nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, magnesium or potassium your soil contains. These are important nutrients for plants. No matter what the numbers say, it’s always a good idea to build up your soil by adding organic matter, like compost or composted manure. Then, if you still need to ratchet up the nutrients, you can work organic compounds like kelp, bloodmeal, bonemeal, etc. directly into the soil or purchase an over-the-counter fertilizer that contains a mixture of nutrients. Whatever you do, don’t add more rocks!
State ferry system increases fares for peak travel season Motorists riding Washington State Ferries will see higher fares starting May 1. Washington State Ferries will start charging peak season fares starting Wednesday, which means a 25 percent surcharge for full fare vehicle/driver and 35 percent on the San Juan Islands routes. A motorist sailing from Coupeville to Port Townsend will pay $12.70 for a standard vehicle, which is up from $10.20. A motorist sailing from Clinton to Mukilteo will pay $9.75 for a standard vehicle, which is up from $7.85. The rates for peak season remain unchanged from 2012
and they will be in effect until Sept. 30. The surcharge helps pay for increased operational costs that comes with larger volumes of traffic during the busy summer season. For more information, go to www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/fares

Port critic demands commissioners repay legal fees By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter
In the latest chapter of a squabble that has lasted for several months, a Greenbank resident is asking that commissioners for the Port of Coupeville repay legal costs associated with an incident that took place in February. Rick Abraham, who was a volunteer for the Greenbank Farm, said in a letter addressed to commissioners Benye Weber and Marshall Bronson, that they should “repay the public funds that were spent and wasted as the result of false accusations you made at the Port’s Feb. 13 public meeting.” Those comment stemmed from an incident that took place the day before when Abraham managed to enter the Port of Coupeville office through an adjoining business. The Port office was closed at the time and the doors were locked. Bronson noticed Abraham in the locked office and both he and Weber criticized his actions at the conclusion of the February meeting. Bronson is currently out
of the state and Weber said she wouldn’t comment on the letter. Port of Coupeville Executive Director Jim Patton said that, because the letter was addressed to both commissioners, the issue will probably come up during an upcoming meeting 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 8 at the Coupeville Public Library. Abraham described the accusations Weber and Bronson made nearly three months ago as “reckless,” according to the letter. He wanted to know how much money the port has spent on legal fees and executive director hours dealing with the comments the two remaining commissioners made. “I think the public has a right to know what they’re paying for,” Abraham said in a Monday afternoon interview. Patton said he is checking whether an itemized invoice is privileged information. One thing is certain, the port spent more money than budgeted on legal fees during 2013. The port normally bud-

Once the May monthly meeting happens the Port of Coupeville will have paid $13,740 in legal fees to the Port’s attorney, Dale Roundy. The Port of Coupeville spent $4,860 in February, $3,030 in April and $5,850 in May. In 2012, the Port paid $870 in legal fees and hadn’t paid any legal fees from 20092011. Patton said the bulk of those legal fees stem from a contract issue concerning the lease the Port has with the Greenbank Farm Management Group and a contract with what was then known as the Washington State Department of Community,

Patton said the Port also paid legal fees concerning a letter a former volunteer, Georgia Gardner, wrote concerning the financial practices of the Greenbank Farm Management Group in the fall of 2012. Both Abraham and Gardner were members of a volunteer committee tasked with developing recommendations about how the Greenbank Farm should be operated after the management group’s lease expires. Former port commissioner Laura Blankenship named Abraham and Gardner to the volunteer committee, which presented

Trade and Economic Development. The state agency awarded the Greenbank Farm $1.5 million that was used to fund, among other things, a new building at the farm. One of the provisions in the contract stated the management group had to “hold and use” the facility for 10 years from the date of occupancy. That 10-year date is reached in June, 2015, which was one year after the management group’s lease with the Port of Coupeville would expire. The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville last month adjusted the management group’s lease to terminate the same time it meets

Blankenship resigned from the port commission last month after serving 15 months of a sixyear term. Port of Coupeville and Greenbank Farm leaders will continue their work on developing a plan for the farm operations once the lease expires. Farm officials want the port commissioners to extend the date of the management services agreement, which costs the Port of Coupeville $49,950, to June 2015.

Red Cross offers preparedness class By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
With several homeowners recovering from the geologic event in Ledgewood, it might be a good time to learn how to be ready for such a disaster. The Islands chapter of the American Red Cross looking for groups to host “Safe in the Sound” disaster preparedness classes. Mike Dilley, a volunteer for the Red Cross Disaster Action Team, said several people have completed training for the preparedness course, which will be available to nonprofit organizations, community groups and any other groups of people interested in learning to prepare themselves in the event of the disaster. The two-hour class will focus on three areas — what is needed in a disaster kit, how to make a plan and how to stay informed. Such a preparedness kit should include a minimum of three days worth
of nonperishable food and water, first aid kit and at least seven days worth of medications. The class will also touch upon factors to consider when forming a disaster plan and also how to learn about the type of emergencies that could happen in the state, what actions to take in the event of a natural disaster, according to the American Red Cross website. Dilley noted a website, www.safeinthesound.org, is active that outlines what needs to be done to prepare for a disaster. In addition to the Safe in the Sound classes, Dilley said a different website, readyrating.org, is available to help businesses gauge their readiness in case of a disaster by offering a questionnaire. Dilley said that if a business is forced to close because of the disaster for longer than 30 days, then the less likely it becomes that it will ever re-open. For more information call 360-293-2911.
Work crews cuts power
Nearly 2,000 Puget Sound Energy customers lost power for more than two hours Wednesday morning. A PSE spokesperson said that at approximately 8:50 a.m. maintenance crews working at a substation near Coupeville encountered a switching issue, causing a breaker to trip. She confirmed that approximately 1,900 Puget Sound Energy customers in the Coupeville area lost power because of the breaker. It took maintenance crews nearly two hours to repair the problem and power was restored by 11 a.m.

Port extends management lease By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville will provide some legal cover Wednesday for the Greenbank Farm Management Group. The elected board of commissioners will extend the lease the port has with the private organization for the commercial properties at the publicly owned farm until June 3, 2015. The lease is one of two agreements the port has with the management group to operate the Greenbank Farm. Greenbank Farm Management Group officials found themselves in a difficult situation recently when volunteers discovered a discrepancy between the lease the group has with the Port of Coupeville and a contract it has with the Washington state Department of Commerce outlining the requirements for $1.5 million in funding that was used years ago to construct a new building at the farm. The lease the management group has with the port originally ran until March 31, 2014; however, in order to meet the requirements for the state dollars, the management group was required to hold and occupy the property until June, 2015 or run the risk of having to pay the money back to the state. The money was awarded by the department of Community, Trade and Eco-
nomic Development, which eventually became the department of commerce. Greenbank Farm Management Group officials have been working with the port for months to come up with a way to meet the state requirements. Michael Stansbury, president of the Greenbank Farm Management Group said the extension will “dispel some of the uncertainty at the farm we’ve been laboring under for the past year.” Greenbank Farm Manager Judy Feldman said the lease extension was a good first step. The uncertainty surrounding the lease days created more of a challenge fundraising, she said. While staff maintained the current amount of donors, it has been hard to find new donors. While the lease amendment provides legal cover for the management group, it is separate from a different agreement with the port to manage the other land at the farm. The Port of Coupeville currently pays the management group nearly $50,000 a year to manage the noncommercial land at the farm. That agreement is still scheduled to terminate March 31, 2014. Feldman said that having the two agreements terminate at the same time would be better for the group’s fundraising efforts.
She said potential donors find the group’s efforts balancing the agricultural, environmental, recreational and commercial aspects of the farm attractive. If they don’t have the management services agreement, then they would just oversee the commercial property. Officials for the Port of Coupeville are planning the future of the farm after the services agreement expires next year. A volunteer group spent months coming up with recommendations for the future management of the farm. They recommended that the current agreement expire and develop a new agreement and send out requests for proposals for operating the farm. The current management group could submit a proposal to continue its
oversight of the farm. Patton said the port would be open to negotiate the end of the management services agreement, but any decision would be made by the elected board which currently is comprised by Marshall Bronson and Benye Weber.

Spring teams wrapping up regular season By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
Coupeville High School athletic teams are finishing up the regular season and heading off to post-season play. See the story below for more details about playoffs.
Baseball team wins 3 to grab top seed
The Coupeville baseball team lost ugly 14-3 at Granite Falls Tuesday, April 23, then won three straight to wrap up third place in the Cascade Conference and the league’s No. 1 1A seed for the playoffs. The Wolves won 5-2 at Sultan Wednesday, April 24; 6-2 over the Turks at home Friday; and 4-2 over visiting Lakewood Monday. Agaisnt Granite Falls, things started well for the Wolves who scored single runs in each of the first and third innings. “Then the wheels, cover and reins fell of the wagon,” coach Willie Smith said. Kurtis Smith topped the offense with two hits, including a double. Morgan Payne also doubled. The Wolves received three well-pitched games, one each by Aaron Curtin, Ben Etzell and Josh Bayne, in the three wins. In the first win over Sultan, Etzell went 3-for-4 and Jake Tumblin tripled. The story of the game, coach Smith said, was the pitching of Curtin, who was “pretty dominate the entire afternoon.” Etzell also had two hits in the second Sultan win, and Kyle Bodamer added a pair of hits and two RBI. Against Lakewood,
Bayne went 3-for-3, including a home run, to go along with his pitching win. Willie Smith said, “Phenomenal outing by Josh Bayne, who dominated on the mound and the plate.” After giving up the two second-inning runs, Bayne allowed only two hits the rest of the way and none after the fifth inning. He received help from his defense, including gems by Drew Chan and Wade Schaef. Kurtis Smith added two hits for Coupeville.

In the loss to Lakewood, the Wolves managed only three hits, a double by McKayla Bailey and singles by Madi Roberts and Sydney Aparicio. In the first game with Cedarcrest, Bessie Walstad collected three hits. In the nightcap Bailey blasted a home run, Bree Messner went 4-for-4 and Roberts had two singles. Against South Whidbey, Coupeville collected only five hits, struck out 11 times and left eight runners stranded. Hailey Hammer doubled and Bailey had two singles. Coupeville co-coach David King said, “A tough game. We did not come out focused. We are making the same mistakes on defense that we did at the start of the

Stone and Madison TisaMcPhee also participated in the prestigious 37th annual Lake Washington Invitational Saturday Lakewood won both the boys and girls meets, topping the Granite Falls and Coupeville boys 101-54-20 and the Coupeville and Tiger girls 95-62-17. Finally performing in nice weather, Coupeville swamped the stat sheet with a flood of best times. None was better than Stone’s 27.13 in the 200, breaking Janiece Jenkins’ 2005 record. Stone also won the 100
(13.44) and ran on the winning 4x100 relay team with Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Marisa Etzell and Sylvia Hurlburt (53.26).

The Coupeville soccer team closed out the regular season with a 4-1 win on Senior Night over Granite Falls Wednesday, April 24, and a 2-1 overtime loss at King’s Friday. Granite Falls (2-11, 2-13) scored in the first five minutes and that lead stood until Nathan Lamb broke through in the 56th minute for his first of three goals. Lamb, off an assist from Josh Wilsey, lobbed in a shot from 18 yards out to knot the match. Six minutes later, Wilsey took a long, low drive by keeper Kole Kellison and dribbled through the back of the Tiger defense to score the go-ahead goal. In the 67th minute, Lamb, one of nine seniors playing their final home match, connected again. Two minutes later, Lamb took a pass from Jeremy Copenhaver and tapped the ball in to complete his hat trick. The Wolves (2-12, 3-13), who lost to King’s 3-1 earlier this spring, pushed the Knights (7-7, 7-8-1) to overtime Friday. Sean Donley scored the Coupeville goal. The Wolves played without several starters, including co-captain and defensive leader Luke Pelant. Coupeville coach Paul Mendes said his club “played very well” in spite of the missing players.

Otto and Jim work hard in Coupeville Tuesday.
PLOWING: Farm explores draft horses From page 1 American Belgians, 20 year-old Otto and 14-yearold Jim. Lange said he had bought the farm implement from a farmer based in Sequim. Despite being seven decades old, the farmer still used the driller in his farm operations, only he towed it behind a tractor. They were planting seed for Grain Shadow Farm, which raises grains on seven acres of land to sell at farmers markets in Coupeville, Bayview along with the University District Farmers Market and the West Seattle Farmers Market. Lange was busy planting Kamut wheat, a variety of wheat that Grain Shadow owner Georgina Silby said is an ancient variety that originated in Egypt. She said the wheat has a high nutritional value and minerals. She said she uses the grains in soups and it can be ground up and used as a nutty addi-
tion for breads. She said the horses are being used on a trial basis to see if such mixed power technology would be a good fit for her farm. “This is just an experiment,” Silby said adding that she’ll probably use a combine to harvest the grain when it’s ready to harvest. She is starting her fourth season farming on Grain Shadow Farm and the Wales native has been farming off and on for 18 years. Lange has used his horses to work Whidbey Island farmland for about eight years. Jim and Otto helped him restore the pasture on five acres he owns near Freeland and help plowed land for nearby Rosehip Farm. The farmers market season is underway. The Coupeville Farmers Market is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through mid October and the Bayview Farmers Market also takes place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.

Smith said that state legislation had been proposed that would have allowed her to distribute liquor without paying the tax, however, that legislation didn’t get approved and the session ended. The two liquor stores find themselves at a disadvantage from the large stores. They can purchase a larger inventory at a cheaper rate. Both Vaughan and Smith noted that the large stores,

Liquor retailers are required to pay a 17 percent tax on all liquor sales. Because of that tax she is required to charge, all of the sales she made to Whidbey restaurants dried up. They bought from distributors who didn’t have to add the 17 percent. “That makes it pretty

Privatization has increased the price of liquor too. Coupeville Liquor has to post pre- and post-tax prices due to the complaints staff fielded from stickershocked customers. The average price per liter has increased since the voter-approved initiative was enacted. The cost per liter

The price per liter for the same time period a year earlier ranged from $21.28 per liter to $23.11 per liter. Smith said the remaining liquor store owners talked about forming a co-op and buy as a group, but determined it wasn’t possible. The small liquor stores continue to stay open. Vaughan said he hopes to see an uptick in business as the snowbirders return to Whidbey Island for the season.
