Food bank expanding to serve elementary By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter

Several Coupeville Elementary School students will be taking more than homework and books home on weekends. The Gifts from the Heart Food Bank is starting a program to ensure some students will have food to get through the weekend. The new program, called Meals 2 Kids, will send up to 50 elementary school students home with a bag of food, helping to provide meals through the weekend. “For some families, it could be a positive thing for them,” said David Ebersole, principal at Coupeville Elementary School. He said the weekend meal program could be a “conduit” to other services that could provide assistance to families. Students participating in the program will receive each Friday two breakfasts, two lunches, two beverages, two snacks and two pieces of fresh fruit. Teachers at Coupeville Elementary School are identifying possible students who could participate in the program. Volunteers for the Central Whidbeybased food bank said they notice a significant number of children and youth receiving food when it is doled out twice a month. Gifts from the Heart president Molly Hughes said 34 percent of the people helped by the food bank are 18 years old and younger. “School kids are always a huge part of our demographic,” Hughes said. In the Coupeville School District, 34.5 percent of the students qualify for free and reduced-priced lunches. Ebersole said that number has fluctuated as high as 40 percent. Hughes said volunteers already has experience providing the service. During the last school year, Gifts from the Heart implemented a pilot program for six weeks last spring. That program helped 24 students. It costs Gifts from the Heart $5 per student per weekend to provide the meals. Hughes said the food bank has enough resources to help 50 students for the school year. Volunteers have several hurdles to

Kites soar during annual festival By Megan Hansen Editor

Sporadic weather didn’t stop Whidbey Island Fliers last weekend from putting on another kite festival. “It is tough when the weather is tough,” said organizer Lisa Root. “I think we had good support and turnout.” Rain held out Saturday, giving competitive fliers the chance to take to the field in precision and ballet competitions. Root said because of weather predictions most of the competitions were held Saturday. “We had to move competition up to Saturday to get them done,” Root said.

Kites of all shapes and sizes attempted flight Saturday. Sporadic wind grounded kites from time-to-time, but competitions were successfuly completed.

Saturday offered breaks of sun and scatter clouds, but minimal wind. At times it completely dropped off. The two teams of Revolution fliers didn’t get to compete. Revolutions are four-stringed kites often used in synchronized flying. Root is a member of the Oddsquad, a Whidbeybased Revolution team. “The wind just wasn’t what my team could fly in,” she said. The other team, Island Quad, made up of fliers from British Columbia and Washington, were able to get a bit of flying in on Saturday, but not for competition. Sunday offered strong winds and scattered showers. Weather didn’t detour many attending the event Sunday. “It was really surprising to me,” Root said. “The wind was blowing so hard Sunday.” While the weather didn’t cooperate for a children’s event called a “Teddy Bear Drop,”

Historic Whidbey hosts Haller House fundraiser

Group trying to raise funds to purchase historic home before home goes back on market By Megan Hansen Editor

Locals and visitors got a glimpse into one of Coupeville’s once-hidden treasures Saturday. Historic Whidbey offered small group tours of the Haller House, located on the corner of Front Street and Main Street. Tour guides shared some history of the home as well as the newly-formed nonprofit group’s efforts to save the home. Built in the 1866, the group hopes to purchase the home and restore it to its original appearance. Organizer Lynn Hyde said an estimated 150 to 200 people attended the open house. “Our primary goal was to raise awareness and I think we’re accomplishing that,” she said. The group held seven hours of tours. “It was pretty busy in the morning,” she said. “It was pretty consistent, but trickily.” Donations were accepted throughout the day to help with purchase costs. The house is privately owned and was on the market recently; Historic Whidbey negotiated to keep the

house off the market until Nov. 1. The group has the sponsorship of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, enabling them to launch their capital campaign. Any funds will be filtered through the trust. Colonel Granville O. Haller himself was a significant figure in the EuroAmerican settlement of the Pacific Northwest. In a town of sea captains and farmers, his story is unique in Coupeville’s early chronicles. Sent to the Pacific Northwest by the U.S. Army during Washington’s treaty period in the 1850s, he later was a player in in the “Pig War” (the last boundary dispute with Great Britain on the West Coast) and the Civil War, where he served with the Union Army, most notably in the battle of Gettysburg. After the Civil War, Haller returned to the Washington Territory, and, after buying a parcel of land from Capt. Thomas Coupe, he opened one of the earliest mercantile establishments on Front Street. As Island County Treasurer and founder of Masonic Temple #15, Haller was an active participant in

the early growth of Coupeville. Over the 150 years, different generations have lived in the home. It has a single toilet and a kitchen sink. It also has limited electrical. Additional fundraisers are in the works including a Halloween-themed event in late October.

County hones in on budget By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Workers rebuild sidewalks at the intersection of Alexander and Coveland streets in Coupeville so they are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act regulations.

Town starts sidewalk work Some delays are coming soon for motorists driving through the heart of Coupeville. A number of road construction projects are scheduled to take place in the early part of October depending on weather conditions. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said road work is scheduled to begin sometime in early October and wrap up several weeks later.

Certiﬁed Jewelry Appraisals

Three roads in Coupeville will be re-paved in the coming days: North Main Street from Highway 20 to Third Street, Coveland from North Main Street to Broadway, and Seventh Street from Main Street to Coveland. During the road construction projects, motorists will have to deal with singlelane closures. Workers are putting the finishing touches on a

repaving project on Parker Road located at the edge of town limits. Another group of workers is rebuilding the sidewalks at on Coveland Street the make sure they are compliant with Americans with Disability Act regulations, Conard said. The town budgeted $504,400 for the repaving projects. Of that amount, 75 percent comes from state and federal grant sources.

The Island County Commissioners have reached consensus on a number of key elements of the 2013 county budget. With a few more budget meetings to go, the commissioners may continue to make small changes to the county’s $22-million operating budget and the supplemental budget requests made by department heads until the Oct. 7 public hearing. The largest chunk of supplemental funds is being allocated to the Island County Sheriff’s Department, providing for four additional deputies, one additional corrections officer, training, two new vehicles and updated equipment. The new funds are not as much as Sheriff Mark Brown had requested, but he said he was pleased with the $478,000 increase and is “excited to move forward.” “This is a phased in process and I call this phase one,” Brown said. “I will certainly try to do everything in my power to ensure what we have will be put to good use.” Commissioners opted to add three patrol officers and the fourth will replace one of

the current officers who will be promoted to detective to focus on drug enforcement. “We are meeting some specific community needs with that investment,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said. She added that she believed the additional corrections officer will contribute to overtime control and “cost savings down the road.” The county has benefitted from previous year’s rigorous budget cuts that have contributed to the county’s current $9-million reserve fund. Revenues outpaced expenditures by $1.6 million in 2011, $1.9 million in 2012 and this year’s projection are for a minimum of $1.5 million. Some fund balance monies have been used to replenish the county’s reserve fund, but commissioners are looking at spending some of that money in areas that have previously experience deep cuts. The board decided to remove a $1.9-million law-andjustice levy from the November ballot this month at the suggestion of Johnson who

noticed the county’s large fund balance and persuaded the Law and Justice Council to reverse their decision. The additional funding for the sheriff’s office is a starting point in bringing staffing levels back up to 2008 levels, Brown said. Though a request for a part-time receptionist was removed, the county’s prosecuting attorney’s office will receive $116,000 for an additional criminal prosecutor. Commissioners bumped up one-time funding for central services from $160,000 to $405,000 to pay for telephone and computer system upgrades. The Planning Department was allotted a $75,000 contingency for the mandated state growth management program. The commissioners also removed the $18,000 ongoing expense for a part-time custodian until the next budget cycle. While cuts were made, overall the supplemental budget total increased from $1.6 million to $1.8 million.

Thanks for making bike tour a success Editor, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation, I am writing to express our heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the 2013 Tour de Whidbey a success. We were blessed with a beautiful day despite the dismal weather forecast. With the support of our volunteers, sponsors, contributors and riders, the event raised $40,000 for the hospital. We want to acknowledge the dedicated members of the Island County Amateur Radio Club and the Island Wings motorcycle group for doing such

a fantastic job of monitoring the routes. We are so grateful for their care and concern for the safety of our riders. There are two other groups of behindthe-scenes folks that make the ride possible. The Whidbey Island Bicycle Club volunteers who were out the week before the ride marking the pavement with route arrows. And, the four teams of volunteers from the Westside Rotary, NAS Whidbey and Whidbey General Hospital who spent Friday evening putting up route signs and Saturday evening taking them back down. Thank you all so much for your help! Our riders enthusiastically thank the folks who provide the meals before and after their ride, and the wonderful break station hospitality. Windermere Real Estate agents arrived at 5:30 a.m. Satur-

day to put on the pancake and sausage breakfast for the riders, and the ladies of the Polly Harpole Guild stepped up for the afternoon chili feeds. The break station heroes this year were from Whidbey Vision Care, Whidbey Community Physicians, Whidbey Island Bank, Coldwell Banker Tara Properties, Sweetwater Creek Farm Studio, as well as hospital employee volunteers from the Diagnostic Imaging and Medical Ambulatory Care/Oncology departments and the Employee Council. The Tour de Whidbey is a community effort to support Whidbey General Hospital. We are humbled by the generosity of our community. Thank you.

Obituary

Mathis

Geraldine Ann “Gerry” Mathis Geraldine Ann “Gerry” Mathis, 72, longtime Coupeville resident and educator, passed away following a brief illness Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013, at Swedish Medical Center in Edmonds. Mrs. Mathis was born in Lincoln, Neb., on Aug.28, 1941, to Donald and Irene (Critchfield) Rock. She grew up in Arlington, Va, where she graduated from Washington-Lee High School in 1959. Gerry then attended Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., where she received her

BA degree in elementary education. In later years she went on to receive her masters degree from Western Washington University. After having attended a segregated high school, Gerry was passionate about social justice issues. She participated in sit-ins at a Woolworths lunch counter to protest the company’s refusal to serve black customers, and worked at a settlement house in inner-city Chicago. Gerry taught for several years in the Minneapolis school district. One day, she read a magazine article about the American cities with the most eligible bachelors, and one of them was Seattle. She soon had a phone interview with the Seattle School District, which resulted in a teaching position and a bold move away from her friends and family to strike out on her own. The venture culminated in a marriage proposal after two weeks of courtship, and her wedding to Ross Bennett Mathis at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle on May 18, 1968. The couple lived in Ballard and Mukilteo before settling in Coupeville in 1975. Gerry taught for several Seattle schools until 1978, with the majority of those years at University Heights Elementary School. Gerry taught second, third and fourth grades at Coupeville Elementary School from 1978 until her retirement in 2001. A fellow teacher once remarked about Gerry’s unwavering passion to help the least advantaged kids. She touched many lives, spanning two generations of Coupeville students.

Gerry was a cheerful, outgoing person who could quickly turn strangers into friends. An avid reader, she could often be found checking out books at the Coupeville Library. Gerry was a past president of the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island and organized candidate debates for local elections. She was also a long-standing member and former elder at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church. Gerry is survived by her husband Ross; her daughters Sheila Hurtt (Chris) of Portland, Ore. and Susan Schalla (James) of Edmonds, Wash.; her four grandchildren, Aidan and Enya Hurtt and Maren and Robyn Schalla; her brother Don Rock (Robyn) of Bunbury, Western Australia; also, by nieces and nephews Stephanie, Danielle and Matt Rock and Eric Hauser. She was preceded in death by her sister, Kathleen Hauser in 1976 and by her brother Lawrence Rock in 1989. A memorial service for all friends, family, and Gerry’s former students will be held at Whidbey Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 26, after a private interment at Sunnyside Cemetery.

When bigger is better toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Sometimes you have to have a plant just because it’s outrageously awesome. And sometimes you live to regret it. That sums up my relationship with Gunnera manicata, or giant rhubarb, which I picked up a few years ago from a local grower. I did this despite the fact I may have been ill-prepared to take one on. Gunnera is a genus of about 40-50 very large perennials in the Gunneraceae family. In fact, it’s the only genus in this family which has representatives throughout the Southern Hemisphere. Now, when I say very large, what I mean is GINORMOUS. One of the largest of these plants is Gunnera manicata from southern Brazil, whose leaves can be as broad as six feet across and reach heights of 10 feet or more. Coming in at a close second is Gunnera tinctoria from the region that includes southern Chile and Argentina. Because they do well in temperate climates, both of these species have been in-

troduced in much of the rest of the world as ornamentals and, believe it or not, for food. M. tinctoria has done so well on the western coast of Ireland, of all places, and in New Zealand, that it’s become a nuisance. Spreading via large rhizomes, these plants can take up large swaths of ground, while their enormous leaves shade out any and all competing vegetation – not a good thing for natives and the wildlife that depend on them for habitat. The differences between these two species aren’t obvious until they bloom, however. Both produce a long spadix about three feet in length bearing green flowers that turn red in the autumn. Think of an arum bloom without the spathe, or sheath, surrounding it. The flower stalks on the spadix of manicata, though, are more spread out and open than on tinctoria, and manicata seems to not have earned the same reputation for spreading and taking over the world that tinctoria has. The problem with my Gunnera isn’t the room it needs, but its moisture requirements. This is a plant

that doesn’t just appreciate wet feet, it craves wet feet. It needs to be planted where its roots are going to remain moist for much of the year, either as part of a water feature or right next to one. Even though we’re famous for our rain in Western Washington, we can’t rely on rain alone to keep a Gunnera happy, especially with the dry summer we just experienced. To see a Gunnera, check out the one that’s been growing on the banks of the pond at Greenbank Farm for a number of years. Sadly, the closest thing I have to a pond is a pothole in my driveway that needs to be fixed before it ruins my front end alignment. Though my original pair of small Gunnera has grown to a grouping of four, it’s a droopy and sad little quartet. If I want to strive to be a better steward to this species, I need to begin work on retrofitting some sort of water feature into the landscape before another dry summer takes place. It will take some figuring out on my part, but you know what they say . . . With great plants comes great responsibility.

Wounded Warriors host veteran bicycle ride

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Nearly 50 veterans rode bicycles throughout Whidbey Island to build camaraderie and promote better health. The Soldiers Ride, which is organized by the Wounded Warrior Project, gathered 45 veterans of various riding abilities at Fort Casey State Park Friday morning for the 18-mile ride. After a quick warm-up, riders enjoyed seeing pristine views of the prairies and farms that are contained within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. They also enjoyed a ride along the shoreline at Ebey’s Landing and rode through historic Coupeville during their adventure that lasted for several hours on a crisp, cool, sunny morning. They ended their ride at Keystone Harbor located next to Fort Casey. The Central Whidbey tour was the first of a twoday stop for the Soldiers Ride. Shana Gibbs, event manager for the Wounded Warrior project, cited several benefits for the veterans who participate in the rides. The ride helps promote the physical health of the wounded veterans participating in the ride. Because the entourage travels as fast as the slowest rider of the group, it provides a way for participants to support one another. “Riders really engage with each other and cheer each other on,” Gibbs said. The participants were es-

corted by two police officers on bicycles and another in a car through the route. Estavan Rojas traveled from Greenfield, Calif. to participate in the Seattle Soldiers Ride that included the visit to Whidbey. The weekend event marked the second Soldiers Ride he’s participated in. Rojas was a Marine from 2001-2005 who served in the infantry during the Iraq War. He was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. He said the rides have helped him deal with the disorder and resolve the anxiety, isolation and depression he endured. He learned about the Soldier Ride during his treatment and traveled to San Diego last February to participate in his first ride. Rojas added the rides build a spirit of camaraderie among the participants and he’s surprised that he’s encountered other members from his squad from the Marine Corp. The Ebey’s Landing tour is the first part of a two-day trip for the riders. Gibbs said Central Whidbey was selected because the route is nice and flat and will benefit the cyclers who are novices. The second day of the journey takes place on San Juan Island and features more hills. Riders will have to work with each more to complete the 18-mile journey on the second day. The Wounded Warrior Project holds 17 Soldier

Randolph Westphal and his dogs Chinook, left, and Nanook pause in Coupeville on a ride down Whidbey Island. Westphal has criss-crossed the world on a bike since 1987 to encourage fellow cancer survivors to “never give up.”

Ferries begin fall sailing schedule The fall sailing schedule for Washington State Ferries began Sunday, Sept. 22., which means the return of fewer sailings on routes serving Whidbey Island. The Mukilteo/Clinto route will see fewer late night and early morning sailings Thurs-

He has no sponsor. “They just want you to raise money,” he said, and his goal isn’t to build capital but to help spread hope to those stricken by cancer. “Cancer is 80 percent man made,” he said. “We are very selfish.” He lives on the generosity and donations of those he meets. The

days through Sundays, according to information from Washington State Ferries. The Port Townsend/Coupeville route, which currently enjoys two ferries, will return to one-ferry service Tuesday, Oct. 15. Autumn also brings fare increases and policy changes that were adopted by the Washington State Transportation Commission on July 20, 2013. The new fares and policies taking effect on Oct. 1 include:

Coachman Inn in Oak Harbor, for example, housed him for two nights this week. His trips haven’t been without peril. In 1996 in Argentine, he was hit by a car. The accident killed his first dog and nearly severed his right leg. The driver did not stop and Westphal almost bled to death. The local doctors wanted to ampu-

• A 2 percent ncreases on passenger fares and 3 percent on vehicle fares. • A 4.1 percent increase on Anacortes/Sidney B.C. vehicle and passenger fares. • Completion of a three-phase plan that was started in 2011, providing reduced fares for smaller vehicles. In this final phase, the vehicle fare for cars less than 14 feet will be charged 70 percent of the vehicle fare charged for standard vehicles (14 feet to less than 22 feet).

• Eliminates the motorcycle oversize surcharge. Vehicles that currently pay the motorcycle oversize surcharge will pay either the under-14-feet-vehicle fare or, if they are under 8-feet in length, the motorcycle/driver fare. • Increases the youth discount (for ages 6 through 18) from the current 20 percent off the full fare, to 50 percent off the full fare.

Whidbey Island Professional Tree Pruning & Removal

TERI MENDIOLA

Currently he is in the middle of his second trip around North America and expects to finish up in May — or November — whatever strikes him as the right time. He’ll head back to Germany for a few months and probably hit the road again when the itch strikes him or when he is inspired by the many letters he receives from supporters.

“Never give up” is Randolph Westphal’s mantra. He should know. He has survived 28 cancer surgeries. But that’s not all. Westphal was gone under the knife 48 times for various other ailments, including an artificial hip and knee. “When I die,” he said, “they won’t put me in a cemetery; they will put me in a junk yard.” In all, he has spent over five years of his life in a hospital. Now he spends most of his time on a bicycle trying to inspire others to fight on regardless of their setbacks. He bikes around the world with his two dogs Nanook and Chinook, stopping in various towns and at their newspapers to spread the word that if “he can do it, so can you.” Westphal, who is from outside Frankfurt, Germany, rode down Whidbey Island this week as part of his sixth world tour. The tours began in 1986 and have covered over 211,000 kilometers and 26 years. His dogs are his companions, and they are now third generation of the same bloodline. The huskies often help pull his bike up hills and ride on an attached cart on the declines: “I’m spoiling them.” Westphal said his tours do not have a set pattern and he zig-zags across the continents.

tate his leg. Some friends, however, funded a trip to a German hospital in Buenos Aries and paid for his treatment. In his typical battle for survival, he fought for his leg, though it led to many more surgeries. He also lost his memory in the accident and it took years to recover it. He had a diary and returned to spots he had written about, such as the Grand Canyon, and that helped the memory switch come back on. In New Zealand he slipped off the road on a mountain pass, grasping at anything to keep from sliding deeper down a ravine. His bike ended 30 feet above ground in a tree. He was eventually rescued by some passing tourists who stopped to take a photograph of the same scene he was admiring when he fell. While in Canada in 2002-03, he biked 153 consecutive days in subfreezing weather. “When it got to be 51 below, I spent a night in a hotel,” he said. “The next day it was only 40 below, so I took off again.” And then there were encounters with various wolves and bears, he said. But on he goes as he has since his first surgery when he was 29 years old. Now at 55, this may be his last bicycle tour. The next one will most likely be on a motorcycle, he said. “I’m getting tired. I think I will get a side car for my dogs.”

Grounded Wolves lose 13-6 to Lynden Christian By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Heading to the season, Coupeville head football coach Tony Maggio listed among the keys to a successful season staying healthy and improving the passing game. So when Maggio’s team was missing starting quarterback Gunnar Langvold because of an injury Friday, Sept. 20, the Wolves were hurt on both fronts. Behind a sputtering passing game and turnovers, the Wolves lost 13-6 to Lynden Christian at Mickey Clark Field. Coupeville (1-2), with almost its entire starting backfield missing because of injuries, fell to Port Townsend a week earlier. In the Lynden Christian game, the Wolves welcomed back running backs Jake Tumblin and Brett Arnold, but QB Langvold was unable to play and it was evident in the passing game. To make matters worse, starting center Carson Risner also missed the game, hurting his knee in a season-ending injury during practice earlier in the week. And to pile on more misery, his backup, Joey Edwards, was also hurt in practice and missed the game. Tyree Booker started

Fumbles were plentiful on the wet Coupeville turf Friday. Here Coupeville’s Nick Streubel (68) and Brett Arnold (40) close in on the loose ball. Lathom Kelley, 44, caused the fumbe with his hit on the Lynden Christian back. and finished the LC game at quarterback, and Josh Bayne played the majority in the middle. The pair combined to hit only three of 17 passes for 25 yards and two interceptions. Not all of those throws were off target, Maggio said, as the Wolves dropped five

catchable balls. “Our passing game was horrendous,” Maggio said. Passing and injuries weren’t the only problem. “We turned the ball over four times inside of our own 15yard line,” Maggio said. Only once, however, was

Lynden Christian able to turn one of those turnovers into points. “Our defense was outstanding,” Maggio said. Lathom Kelley and Tumblin each recored 11 tackles, Wiley Hesselgrave added seven and Bayne six.

Maggio also praised the play of defensive back Wade Schaef who held LC’s leading receiver to only two catches. The Coupeville running game was also strong, paced by Tumblin’s 125 yards on only 12 carries in “limited action,” Maggio said.

CHS tennis team off to slow start The Coupeville High School tennis team opened its season with three losses in three days. South Whidbey defeated Coupeville twice in Langley, winning 3-2 Tuesday, Sept. 17, and 5-0 Thursday, Sept. 19. Archbishop Murphy, playing its first boys tennis match ever, slipped by the host Wolves 3-2 Wednesday, Sept. 18. The original season opener with Friday Harbor Sept. 13 was cancelled because the Wolverines do not have enough players. Monday’s third match with South Whidbey was postponed because of rain. The first South Whidbey match was the first of 2013 for the Wolves but the fourth for the Falcons. Coupeville picked up its wins in first singles and first doubles. Sebastian Davis stopped Jack Hood 6-4, 6-4. Coach Ken Stange said, “Sebastian played an outstanding match. He consistently outlasted Jack, playing several points that went longer than

15 shots. He also showed a bit of power. As he learns to blend the power and consistency, he will be quite formidable on the singles court.” The doubles win came from Aaron Curtin and Ben Etzell 6-4, 6-4. “Aaron and Ben played a solid first match, too,” Stange said. “They used a combination of power and finesse. Big serves set up angled volleys, and both boys used their athleticism to cover the entire court.” In second singles, Dalton Martin fell 6-0, 6-0. Stange said, “Dalton is in his first year of tennis and he shows noticeable improvement each time he steps onto the court.” Brian Norris and Kyle Bodamer dropped second doubles 6-0, 6-3; and Brandon Kelley and Jack McCormick lost in third doubles 6-1, 6-1. “Brian and Kyle showed signs of life during the second set, and should be able to find a way to win,” Stange said. “Brandon and Jake are learn-

Tumblin’s load has been lightened because of a nagging hamstring injury. “He’s about 80 percent,” Maggio said. “He broke a couple of runs that I think he scores on if he is healthy.” Arnold, who is “maybe 70 to 80 percent,” Maggio said, added 45 yards on 11 carries. Lynden Christian (2-1) scored first in the second quarter after one of Coupeville’s turnovers. Bayne scored from one yard out in the third quarter, but the Wolves missed the PAT and trailed 7-6. Lynden Christian countered when Jordan Jansen ripped off a 53-yard run on an option for the game’s final points. Coupeville didn’t threaten after that. “We had our opportunities earlier,” Maggio said, as the Wolves often drove inside the Lyncs’ 30 but couldn’t convert. “We just couldn’t get into a flow offensively,” he said. Maggio isn’t sure if Langvold will be ready for this week’s game at Nocksack Valley (1-2) at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27. “We need to pull one out,” Maggio said, to help his club’s pysche and to get back into the hunt for a playoff spot. “When we are healthy, we are a good team,” he said.

Emergency personnel hold training scenario at Clark Field The Coupeville Middle and High School athletics program will be completing a CPR/ AED training scenario at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Mickey Clark Field This training event is being led by Whidbey General Hospital EMS and Central Whidbey fire personnel.

Cougars, Falcons stop VB team The Coupeville High School volleyball team was tripped up twice last week, falling at home Tuesday, Sept. 17, to Lakewood 3-1 (25-19, 22-25, 2519, 25-20) and at South Whidbey 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-13) Thursday, Sept. 19. Coupeville coach Kirsty Croghan said her club pulled out the secondgame win against Lakewood because the players did “a great job of eliminating their own errors.” The set win wasn’t the highlight for Croghan, however: “My favorite part of the night wasn’t the set we won but rather to see that the stuff the girls have been working on at practice is starting to click. Nothing is more rewarding for a coach than to see their players starting to understand the stuff they previously were struggling with.” Hailey Hammer led the offense with nine kills; Madeline Strasburg added six and Breeanna Messner five. Amanda Fabrizi served three aces, and Messner and Megan Oakes had two each. Oakes also had 23 assists and Kacie Kiel seven digs. Not all was lost for the Wolves at South Whidbey, according to Croghan, as Coupeville showed improvement in blocking and serve receive. Hailey Hammer and Allison Hanigan recorded six and five blocks, respectively, and Bree Messner and Madeline Strasburg added two each. Messner had a strong all-around game, adding four kills and 14 digs

Megan Oakes was 35-for-38 in sets; Sydney Autio was 29-for-30. Coupeville (0-3, 1-3) now goes on the road for four matches, beginning at Archbishop Murphy (1-2, 2-2) at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26.

Soccer team suffers pair of losses, takes on Sultan tonight Cedarcrest had a big half and Lakewood a big game as each put away the Coupeville soccer team last week. Cedarcrest scored four second-half goals to win 4-1 Tuesday, Sept. 17, in Coupeville, and Lakewood rolled by the host Wolves 7-0 Thursday, Sept. 19. Coupeville (0-2, 0-3) welcomes Sultan (0-2, 2-2) at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26. Against Cedarcrest, Coupeville led 1-0 at the break behind Marissa Etzell’s first career goal. The Red Wolves four-goal onslaught in the second half put the match away. Coupeville coach Troy Cowan said, “At halftime we made a formation change to increase our opportunities on offense and the Red Wolves made us pay with several outstanding counter attack goals.” The result could have been worse but keeper Julia Myers “made countless, heroic saves,” according to

Cowen. He added, “We are very proud of the steps the girls are making and the new formed chemistry that is obvious to all that watch the Lady Wolves on the pitch. “I told the girls before and after the match this is a process and we are building something special and it will take time, but they all gave 100 percent and are going to be very dangerous in a very short time.” Lakewood was led by a hat trick by Shantel St. Jean Cowen said, “We just fundamentally broke down and were never mentally into the game. I take full responsibility for not having the girls mentally prepared and for not having them ready to play.” He said the Wolves struggled with the Cougars’ (1-1, 1-3) pressure and were outplayed in the battle for 50/50 balls.

KITES: Whidbey Island fliers host annual festival From page 1 organizers turned the event into a Teddy Bear Toss. Root said at least a dozen kids attended Sunday and walked away with a teddy bear. Children visited a kids kite making booth both days where they walked away with a hand-made kite. The wind was strong enough to fly the light-weight kites, and children

flew them in an open flying field and wherever else they could find. “I think all in all there were a good amount of people there and we put on a good show with the weather we had,” she said. Nearly 300 prizes were donated for the raffle, the club’s main fundraiser for the year. Prizes were donated from kite vendors as well as residents and businesses in and around Coupeville.

A woman attempts to fly a four-stringed Revolution with some assistance Saturday.

Members of the Central Whidbey Lions Club served hotdogs Saturday during the festival. There was also an espresso truck offering warm beverages.
