Two injured after SUV cause fourcar wreck

VOL. 19, NO. 7

Art of the Boat

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A multi-vehicle collision just before 11 a.m. Monday resulted in two people being sent to the hospital. Washington State Patrol reported that a line of cars had formed in the northbound lane of State Highway 20 as a result of utility work taking place in the San de Fuca area. As the backup approached Libbey Road, a Ford Explorer, driven by Coupeville resident Michael Sousa, 30, crashed into the lineup and caused the first of three collisions. The Explorer crashed into a Chevrolet Avalanche driven by 63-year-old Coupeville resident Raymond Vaughan. In turn, Vaughan’s Avalanche was pushed into a Saturn minivan driven by Edwin Kandal, 40, who was traveling with his wife, Jessica, 46, according to State Patrol reports. The couple’s minivan was pushed into a Suburu Impreza driven by Anacortes resident 67-year-old Jane Clark. Vaughan told investigators he saw the Explorer coming in his rearview mirror and turned his vehicle’s wheels to steer out of the way. The Explorer slammed into the Avalanche and pushed it onto an embankment; the vehicle slowly rolled over, said Trooper Kirk Francis with the Washington State Patrol. He added that the Explorer also hit the minivan, which was pushed into the Impreza. Jessica Kandal, the passenger in the minivan, and Vaughan, who was driving the Avalanche, were transported to Whidbey General Hospital. They were treated in the emergency room. Firefighters with North Whidbey Fire and Rescue and Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue responded to the accident because it occurred near the boundary of both fire districts. Northbound traffic was eventually detoured at Sherman Road and onto Madrona Way. Francis said Sousa was cited for speed too fast for conditions.

Port of Coupeville hires new director By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A new face will soon be running the day-today operations of the Port of Coupeville. After a round of interviews, the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville named Tim McDonald as executive McDonald director for the small port district that oversees operations at the Coupeville Wharf and Greenbank Farm. McDonald will start his position as executive director Dec. 1 and will work alongside current executive director Jim Patton for one month. That way McDonald can familiarize himself with the port’s operations before Patton’s contract expires at the end of the year. McDonald has a long history working in Island County government. He was the county director of health and human services from 1987-2008. He was most recently the director

of the division of communicable diseases and emergency preparedness for the Snohomish Health District. He finished working for the Snohomish Health District in March. “There were so many interesting projects the port is involved with,” McDonald said about his decision to apply for the position. He described the Coupeville Wharf and Greenbank Farm as “jewels.” “They’re just fantastic facilities,” McDonald said. He was one of three people who applied. Bill Larsen, who is a drug and alcohol counselor along with candidate for the commission for the Port of Coupeville, and Bruce Bottolfson applied for the position.

Commissioners interviewed the three candidates late Friday afternoon before unanimously selecting McDonald for the position. “Of all the candidates, he was the most knowledgeable,” said Marshall Bronson, president of the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville. McDonald will work under a two-year professional services contract. He is negotiating the terms of the contract and it will be presented at an upcoming meeting. He will spend a month working with Patton to learn about the day-to-day parts of the position. “Between now and then, I’m going to be learning a lot about the position,” McDonald said.

Coupeville will play host to two opportunities for live music and good food Saturday and Sunday this weekend. The first ever Oyster Festival will take place Sunday in downtown Coupeville. “I think it’s going to be a great thing for Coupeville,” said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. “Hopefully it’s something that will become an annual event.” A kickoff event will be held 5:30-7 p.m. Saturday at Coupeville Recreation Hall. The event will feature live music from two bands — DB Jazz and Mojo Filter — as well as a dinner of oysters, pulled pork sandwiches and sides. Cost is $35 and all proceeds go to benefit the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. Tickets are available at the chamber office or brownpaperbag.com The events are being sponsored by Front Street Grill and Penn Cove Shellfish. The event coincides with the Anacortes Oyster Run.

Organizer Dan Miranda said he’s trying to draw in some of the motorcycle traffic that normally comes through the island, but mostly it’s about bringing people into town. “It’s a good fundraiser for the end of the year,” he said. “A last hooray of the year.” The actual Oyster Festival will run 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday in the open lot across from the chamber office at the corner of Coveland and Alexander streets. Alexander Street from Front Street to Coveland Street will also be closed during the event. Two bands will play offering tributes to classic artists. Johnny Bulldog will play 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and offer a tribute to the Beatles. Midnight Rambler will play a tribute to the Rolling Stones 1-5 p.m. A beer/wine garden will be set up inside a tent in the open lot. Food will include not only a variety of oysters, but barbecue salmon sandwiches, brats, hotdogs from Coupe’s Last Stand and burgers. “It should be pretty cool,” Miranda said. “There’s going to be a lot of good food.” Admission is free to hear the music, but food will cost.

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust acquired 46 acres, which include undeveloped shoreline bluff, from Seattle Pacific University.

Trust creates new preserve By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Thanks to the help of state dollars, federal dollars and resident donations, the Whidbey Camano Land Trust acquired acres of land on Central Whidbey Island that is home to an oldgrowth forest as well as a federally threatened plant. The Land trust completed a $3.3-million deal with Seattle Pacific University to purchase 46 acres located just north of the Fort Casey Inn. A conservation easement was placed on the property that will be held by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. “It’s one of the best natural areas in the state. It’s a jewel to protect,” said Pat Powell, executive director of the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. Golden paintbrush, a rare plant that is on the state endangered and federal threatened lists, grows on part of the property the land trust acquired. The purchase means the Whidbey

Camano Land Trust controls two of the 12 known populations of golden paintbrush in the world. The Whidbey Camano Land Trust received funding from several sources. The organization received an approximately $1 million endangered species grant from the United States Department of Fish and Wildlife; a $700,000 grant from Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program; and a $1.9 million state appropriation. Powell credited the efforts of then-state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen and state Rep. Norma Smith for gaining the state dollars. She added that donors chipped in $100,000. The acquisition of the 46 acres will be combined with the 33-acre Naas Prairie, which will form the 79-acre Admiralty Inlet Preserve. It will include undeveloped marine bluff shoreline. The Naas Prairie also has rare golden paintbrush growing on it. The land trust held an event last weekend to celebrate the acquisition of

the land and offer tours of the newly named preserve, which is one of 51 such preserves in Washington state. The Admiralty Inlet Preserve is just one of the projects the land trust is involved with on Central Whidbey Island. The group is undertaking restoration project of 100 acres in and around Crockett Lake, which is located near the ferry terminal at Keystone Harbor. Powell said the land trust is working with the university to preserve an additional 200 acres. That deal should be completed near the end of 2014, Powell said. She added planning is underway to develop a trail system that would connect Fort Casey to Coupeville and Ebey’s Landing. The land trust recently participated in a deal to tie up more than 100 acres of farmland owned by the Muzzall family north of Penn Cove.

WGH is much more than first-aid station Editor, As a registered nurse for 27 years and an emergency room nurse for 20, I take offense to the frequently read and heard statement that Whidbey General Hospital is a “first-aid station.” I was employed by Whidbey General for 11 years, exclusively in the Emergency Department. Unfortunately, I suffered a work injury and, sadly, was terminated a couple months ago after I exhausted my FMLA. I had worked in big city hospitals my whole career and found rural nursing more exciting and challenging than at a Level I facility. Unlike the mainland, we often do not have the necessary resources available. However, I never worked with a physician-nursing team as competent as the one currently at Whidbey General. WGH, as in any hospital ER, sees many clinic-type patients. However, when the traumas, strokes, heart attacks and other potentially life-threatening situations arrive, WGH is able to treat, stabilize and transfer, if necessary, any member of our community to the appropriate “higher-level of care” facility. Imagine your life if WGH is not here when you need them. Traveling off island means a delay in treatment and it

could cost you your life. Bottom line — Whidbey General Hospital saves lives. If you have ever been a patient in any hospital with double rooms, you know how difficult that can be. Sharing a room with a stranger deprives you of your privacy, ability to rest when you need it, and let’s not even get into the single TV and your roommates’ visitors. It’s like having to share your hotel room with a stranger while you’re sicker than a dog. If you have never seen WGH’s 210-square-foot double patient rooms, perhaps the hospital would be willing to post some pictures of them. Whidbey General Hospital’s administrative politics aside, single-patient rooms are the standard for 21st century health care and will probably be government mandated in the near future.

working through a legal or community process. Since the vote at the Coupeville Recreation Hall in June by more than 250 people to close Outlying Field Coupeville, I have watched a pattern of bullying escalate by people opposed to closing the OLF and to the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve’s efforts to request an Environmental Impact Statement. I have heard and seen threatening and insulting comments at public meetings, in the newspapers, on media websites and social media sites, including calls for boycotts, name calling and half-truths. Empathy has been disregarded in favor of belligerent jingoism. Bullying includes verbal harassment or threats, physical assault or coercion. Any figure of authority or power which uses intimidation as a primary means of motivating others can be referred to as a bully. And when a bully encounters no negative response from bystanders, it encourages continuation of the behavior. Being passive, however, only strengthens the motivation to remain passive. I have spoken with many people who have said they are afraid to speak out in support of closing the OLF out of fear of reprisal or intimidation.

Days grow shorter as sun continues around sun sun and we in the northern hemisphere get more than 12 hours of sunlight. During the winter the Earth has traveled halfway around its orbital path. At that time, the north pole is pointed away from the sun and the southern hemisphere enjoys more sunlight while we northerners shiver in the dark. Now, at the start of fall, we stand at the in-between time. I’ve been thinking about sunlight in part because I dislike losing it so rapidly this time of year, but in part because the sun has been in the news, too. The reason our favorite star has garnered some media attention is that its poles are reversing, north to south. Here’s the scoop: The sun has two big cycles of change. First, the number of sunspots – dark regions on the surface of the sun – wax and wane over time. That’s something you may have once learned in science class. But another cycle that’s

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc As an aging citizen of Scandinavian descent, I dread this time of year. Each evening the sun sets significantly earlier. Deep in the bones of us northern people is the notion that summertime is the season of life and hope while winter is, well, cold and horribly dark. This week all of the globe enjoys roughly 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night. The “reason for the season” relates to the Earth’s orbit around the sun. During summertime, our planet’s north pole points mildly toward the

less well known is that the magnetic poles of the sun swap places, north to south. Both of these changes occur on a cycle of about 11 years. I recently talked about the sun to Dr. Michael Allen, a colleague of mine in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Washington State University. Allen explained to me that the sun’s magnetic field is in the process of decaying to zero. In the coming weeks or months it will next reorganize itself with north and south poles fully reversed. “It’s not surprising that the sun has cycles,” Allen said. “But our sun is pretty darn stable compared to other stars.” That stability may have played a part in making it possible for earliest life to get off the ground and go to town. “But that’s really quite speculative,” Allen said. What was the north pole of the sun has actually already become a south pole. That means that at the moment the sun has two south poles.

Earth. The 11-year solar cycle, for example, shows up in the evidence of tree ring widths in the American southwest, presumably because the solar cycle is a factor controlling precipitation. “The link to climate is speculative but also potentially very important,” Allen said. “I knew you’d ask me about it,” he added with a laugh. To measure how much solar energy is actually absorbed by the Earth over time, NASA developed the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). It’s designed to stay between the Earth and the sun, always “looking” at the sunlit side of the Earth and measuring energy absorption over time and in different regions. The satellite was actually built long ago, but it’s been warehoused rather than launched due to political and budgetary issues, Allen explained. Enjoy the warmth of the

“Presumably that configuration is unstable,” Allen explained. “It will likely change soon and the poles will be fully reversed.” The changes the sun is going through mean the sun is producing more cosmic rays. That translates into more impressive shows of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) which you may see lighting up portions of the night sky on clear nights. Once, riding sleepless on a Greyhound bus across North Dakota, I saw the whole night sky lit up by the Northern Lights – it’s a show you don’t ever forget if once you see a really good example of it. But there’s an important point about the sun’s cycles that goes beyond entertaining light shows. Variations in the sun’s output of heat that goes along with changing numbers of sunspots appears to be one factor that can change climate here on

More shooters take aim at Central Whidbey club By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter

More and more shooters are coming to a club near Outlying Field to hone their skills. The Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association, which is nestled on property on Safari Street between Outlying Field and the Island Transit headquarters campus on State Highway 20, has enjoyed a membership boom in recent years. When the association’s current president, Lou Gunn, joined the club in 2001, it had 109 members. The current membership roll places that number at 573, Gunn said. He added that it wasn’t until about three years ago that “we really started expanding rapidly.” Gunn is quick to point out the features the sportsman association facility offers, which includes ranges that are between 12 and 75 yards, a bowling pin range, bays to shoot steel targets and trap shooting. The association offers events throughout the year for the benefit of shooters from all walks. Hunter safety courses,

rifle safety courses, competitive events for trap shooters, pistol, and rifle events are offered by the club. The Sportsmen Association also hosted the Black Powder Living History Rendezvous last month. That event provided a snapshot of pre-1840 pioneer life. Amid the safety education classes and shooting events, the organization started a women’s group, known as the Well Armed Woman Shooting Club. The group started scheduling meetings several months ago and it is nearing 50 members. There are several other shooting ranges on Whidbey Island, but Gunn said the Central Whidbey Club is the largest. Other ranges on the island include the Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club on South Whidbey and the North Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association. The larger numbers of members has meant the Central Whidbey Club could improve its facilities. “We’re upgrading because we’ve been attracting members,” Gunn said. The organization’s clubhouse was recently expanded and association leaders are looking to

add another shooting range. He added that Whidbeybased law enforcement officers and park rangers conduct training sessions at the association’s gun ranges. Gunn said the location of the association’s shooting ranges, which is surrounded by Outlying Field, Island Transit’s headquarters and a farm. “We’ve got a lot of buffer around us,” Gunn said, adding members also planted 275 trees on the club’s property that will eventually screen the club’s activities.

“We don’t want to be obtrusive,” Gunn said. “We want to be an asset to the community.” He noted the club is organizing a shoot, the annual President’s Benefit Charity Match, at the end of the month which will benefit Gifts from the Heart food bank. That event goes from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28. Tickets are $1.50 or $5 for four.

Solar energy project still half complete By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

The clock is ticking for an solar energy investment project at Greenbank Farm. The publicly owned farm has one acre of land devoted to a community solar energy project; however, years after the first panels were installed, half of the racks remain empty and it’s not clear when those remaining panels will be installed. The community solar energy project is a state incentive project. Local investors provide the money to pay for installation of the solar panels and the return on their investment comes through a state-funded incentive that lasts until 2020. The Port of Coupeville, which owns the farm, paid for the infrastructure that allowed for the installation of the solar panels. The infrastructure cost the small port district $30,000. Because the panels and the inverters were manufactured in Washington state, investors receive $1.08 per kilowatt hour manufactured by the panels. The incentive is currently scheduled to expire in 2020. Without the incentive, power is sold to Puget Sound Energy at around a nickel per kilowatt hour. Two companies, Island Community Solar and Cascade Community Wind,

Racks that are supposed to contain solar energy panels stand empty at the Greenbank Farm. are operating three of the arrays at the farm. California-based Newport Equity Fund holds a lease on the three remaining racks that are awaiting panels. A representative from Newport Equity Fund couldn’t be reached for comment. Port of Coupeville Executive Director Jim Patton said the California-based company had difficulty meeting the state Department of Revenue requirements for the community solar program. He hasn’t come up with a group of investors to par-

ticipate in the project. The first list of investors the company submitted were from California and the second list of investors contained people living together, thus not considered different investors, Patton said. Patton said it’s been about six weeks since he’s heard from Newport Equity.

The company currently has a lease for the three arrays at the farm. The Port of Coupeville receives $200 plus 1 percent of the revenue generated from power production. The payment is due for the lease by the end of the year. Patton said he would

hope something could be worked out to allow another entity to take over the three remaining racks so the panels can be installed. He pointed out that seven years remain for investors to take advantage of the community solar power incentive.

Coach continues adjustments to right Coupeville Wolves look to bounce back after 41-0 loss It would be easy to suspect that Coupeville coach Tony Maggio was simply expanding his offense. Coupeville’s football team, which ordinarily lines up with one fullback and two wingbacks as part of the Wolves’ Wing-T offense, took the field against Port Townsend last week with an empty backfield and five wide receivers.

But this wasn’t an attempt to show a new look. It was an attempt to survive. “I wasn’t going to run a freshman kid against them,” Maggio said. Maggio was missing four key two-way players, including three running backs, in the Wolves’ non-conference game at Port Townsend last Friday night. When his starting quarterback Gunner Langvold went down with a knee injury in the first quarter, Maggio couldn’t have imagined things getting any worse. He was wrong.

Coupeville lost to Port Townsend, 41-0, leaving Maggio tinkering with ways to right Coupeville’s ship. Healed wounds will help. Maggio expects at least three of the missing players to be back on the field when the Wolves play host to Lynden Christian at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20. Expected back are fullback/linebackers Brett Arnold (ankle) and Lathom Kelly (shoulder). Joining them will be Wade Schaef, a starting wide receiver and cornerback who missed last week’s game to attend a pinning ceremony

for his mother’s advancement to Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. Star running back/linebacker Jake Tumblin will miss his second straight game with a pulled hamstring. “It’s a home game and we hope we can feed off that,” Maggio said. “I think the kids will be ready to go.” And that includes Josh Bayne, who was forced into quarterback duty after Langvold went down with a knee injury. Bayne is normally a starting wingback and backup quarterback. With his options limited,

Maggio opted to go with an empty backfield against Port Townsend rather than put in an experienced, young back. Bayne wound up carrying the ball 10 times for 20 yards and completed 15 of 35 passes for 144 yards with no interceptions. Coupeville’s ground game was held to 91 yards on 19 rushes. Wiley Hasselgrave led the way with 50 yards on eight carries and had five receptions for 31 yards. Port Townsend had no such trouble, rushing for 461 yards for an average of 13.6 yards per carry.

By missing Tumblin, Arnold and Kelly, Coupeville also was missing three starting linebackers. “With those kids, we’re a really, really good team,” said Maggio, whose Wolves opened the season with a 32-0 home victory over Bellevue Christian. “I didn’t even play with a running back and we’re a Wing-T running attack. “We are going to be better off than we were against Port Townsend. Those two kids we get back (Arnold and Kelly) are important to get back. I have to have them to make the offense work.”

Hair-raising performance Coupeville gives Oak Harbor all it can handle for a half By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

Troy Cowan couldn’t complain. For 40 minutes of soccer, he watched his Coupeville Wolves go toe to toe against the larger and more formidable Oak Harbor Wildcats and congratulated his players as they walked to the sideline at halftime of a scoreless game. Cowan, who took over this season for a program that was 1-16-0 last year, saw his starting goalkeeper Julia Meyers fend off attacks and watched his overmatched team put together a gutty performance last Thursday, Sept. 12, in Oak Harbor. When Coupeville’s fortunes changed in the second half, ultimately culminating in a 4-0 loss to Oak Harbor, Cowan’s outlook remained upbeat. “I thought we played well,” he said. “We played our game. I knew we’d be outmatched. We played one heck of a first half. We just ran out of gas.” Coupeville brought 17 players to Wildcat Memorial Stadium and faced an Oak Harbor team with 17 on varsity and 19 more watching on the junior-varsity team. “We don’t have a JV team,” Cowan said. “It’s tough to keep up for 80 minutes.” For 40 minutes, the Wolves didn’t seem to have a problem with the defense buckling down and Meyers making outstanding saves. In the second half,

things began to unravel for Coupeville. Oak Harbor put on a relentless attack against Coupeville reserve goalkeeper McKayla Bailey, who was constantly under siege. The Wildcats wound up scoring four goals in the first 23 minutes of the second half. On the other side of the field, Oak Harbor goalkeeper Makenzie Perry said she never touched the ball in the second half. “They did a great job,” Oak Harbor coach Mike Lonborg said of the Wolves. “They showed a lot of effort. We have more depth and more experience.” “I was proud of the girls,” Cowan said. “They played with a lot of heart. They played as hard as they could.”

Coupeville splits volleyball games Coupeville’s volleyball team earned its first victory of the season, sweeping Port Townsend, 25-11, 25-17, 25-19, at home, Saturday, Sept. 14. Bree Messner had five kills and Hailey Hammer had three kills and three service aces for the Wolves (1-1). “We still have some work to do but it’s exciting to get a win under our belts early on,” Coupeville coach Kirsty Croghan said. Coupeville was swept in its season opener by Cedarcrest, 19-25, 9-25, 13-25. In that

blocks. Allie Hanigan added two kills and five blocks. The Oak Harbor volleyball

team, meanwhile, experienced a memorable trip to Lynden over the weekend. The

Wilcats defeated Squalicum in two sets in the finals to win the Lynden Tournament.

There is something for everyone at the Whidbey Island Kite Festival including kids activities as well as an area to learn how to fly.

Whidbey kite club gears up for festival By Megan Hansen Editor

Members of Whidbey Island Kite Fliers are crossing their fingers for decent wind this weekend. Why else? So they can fly kites. The club is hosting its 13th annual Whidbey Island Kite Festival 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 and Sunday,

Sept. 22 at Camp Casey Conference Center. Festival coordinator Lisa Root said the event has something for just about everyone. “We try to make something for all different types of fliers,” she said. Activities include making your own kids’ kite, mass ascensions, teddy bear drops, sportkite competitions, les-

sons, food booths and more. Competition includes dual and single line challenges including ballets — where fliers fly to music — and precision flying. Someone who’s never flown a kite before can learn to fly different types of kites in a specially marked-off teaching area. The precision kite flying team Island Quad, with members from British Columbia and Washington, will be performing again. They entertain with interpretive movements to music while flying four-stringed Revolution Kites in a choreo-

graphed flight pattern. This team has been flying at the festival for a number of years and are always fun to watch, Root said. This year there will be a new local quad team flying for the first time at the festival. Whidbey Oddsquad was formed last year when fliers from the Whidbey area got together to learn to fly, then decided to form a team. It became their goal to fly at this year’s event. Some of the fliers had experience with quad line kites and others were new to the Revolution kites. After many hours of flying in 40 to 50-plus degree weather they

have become comfortable with the kite and flying as a team in their choreographed routine. Whidbey Oddsquad fliers are Lisa Root, Bud Root, Norvin “Stan” Stanley, Steve Dutcher and Mary Gaebler. You may have seen them practicing and having fun at Fort Casey or City Beach Park in Oak Harbor. This is the club’s main fundraiser for the year. All the events are free, but there is a raffle which supports the club. Items in the raffle are mostly kite related. You do not have to be present to win. On Saturday evening, at 7:30 p.m. the Indoor Kite

Competition takes place at the Coupeville High School gym. Competitors fly the kites without wind using only their body and hand movements. This entertaining and unique event continues to astound and surprise people each year, Root said. Whidbey Island Kite Fliers meet for a “Fun Fly” 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the third Saturday of the month, April to October at Fort Casey. All are welcome. All events are free and open to the public.

Casting call Saturday for new Coupeville film By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

Wanting to bring Whidbey Island authenticity to his film, director Joseph Itaya has issued a casting call. Itaya’s latest movie project, which he wrote, “Lost & Found,” is an independent family adventure film set to be shot mostly in Coupeville during the month of October. “Lost & Found” is the story of two brothers visiting their uncle on a remote, mysterious island. The brothers are the central characters. They learn that their eccentric grandfather once owned the island and one day vanished, taking with him the secrets to a fortune. The brothers uncover clues that lead them on a treasure hunt in search of the lost fortune, contending with some sinister forces who are

on the same mission. The movie is about family, brotherhood and how money can be a divisive force. The film is scheduled to be shot mostly in Coupeville, including Fort Casey. Itaya, who’s from Whidbey Island and graduated from South Whidbey High School, is holding open auditions for some of the film’s minor roles Saturday, Sept. 21 at 1276 Engle Road, near Fort Casey in Coupeville. Auditions will be held 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with callbacks starting at 2:30 p.m. at the same location. Script pages will be made available upon arrival. Those interested in auditioning must bring a photo and resume. The movie’s story is based around a rebellious and misguided teenager, Andy Walton, who is sent away for the summer to live with his uncle
