Reserve, base take hit during shutdown By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

As a result of Congress’s inability to pass a budget by the Sept. 30 deadline, hundreds of Department of Defense employees on Whidbey Island were furloughed Tuesday as part of a countrywide government shutdown. Of the some 1,200 civil service employees at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, employees that work in safety, life and wellness will be exempted, said NAS Whidbey Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding. It was unclear how many of the base’s 1,200 contractors will be affected. Many essential federal services island wide will not be affected, however, including the U.S. Postal Service, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. At Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve, two full-time national park employees were furloughed because of the shutdown, said Lisbeth Cort, interim Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve manager Tuesday. About 21,000 park employees were furloughed around the country, she said “We’re answering the phones, but we’re curtailed with everything on the park service side,” Cort said. Because of the partnership with the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing, Cort said the office is able to remain open, unlike other parks across the country. For those who have received rehabilitation grants, they are still able to get assistance. All projects headed by the national park employees, such as trail maintenance, signage and the Ferry House rehabilitation have stopped, Cort said. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the shutdown adds to the frustration of local governments who have been trying to get back on their feet after the economic downturn and sequestration. “People across the county will be impacted if this continues,” Price Johnson said. “I think it would be better for them to promote stability instead of manufacturing crises.” The U.S. Senate and House of

Relays and huge pumpkins highlight harvest festival By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

The final Coupeville Farmers Market of 2013 features a celebration. Relay races and a giant pumpkin contest are just some of the highlights of HarvestFest, which takes place during the Coupeville Farmer’s Market 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 at the community green located behind the Coupeville Public Library. “It’s great fun and a chance for customers to appreciate the market,” said market manager Peg Tennant. HarvestFest marks the completion of the market’s 35th consecutive season. HarvestFest relays, which also benefit Gifts from the Heart food bank, features teams competing in a series of races that Ten-

nant is currently keeping under wraps. As for what kind of races, Tennant said she is keeping that a “deep, dark secret.” She doesn’t want any of the teams to gain an unfair advantage by practicing beforehand. One thing is for sure, several of the stages won’t take place this year. She said there won’t be a fish toss and the milking contest has been pulled too. It turns out the wooden cow used for the relays has been taken out to pasture. “The poor cow is getting too fragile to handle the intensity of competition,” Tennant said. Six teams have currently signed up to compete and Tennant said she is looking for more. Teams that have signed up include farm interns, Town of Coupeville staff, women from the Lions Club, the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association and the Pacific North-

west Art Center. Tennant said people can pick up an entry form at the market or at the food bank location on North Main Street. The entry fee is $100 per team. The proceeds from that go to the food bank. In addition to the relays, the ever-popular Giant Pumpkin Contest takes place. Competitors come together to see who grows the largest squash. In previous years, pumpkins have topped the 1,000-pound mark. Awards are also given for biggest and ugliest pumpkins. A competition also takes place to find the largest zucchini as well. It looks like there will be a new contest winner this year. Contest winners in previous years aren’t participating next week,

Group plans next steps as EIS begins By Janis Reid Staff reporter

Briess Potter, a Coupeville High School senior and founder and president of the high school’s Constitutionalist Club, led the Pledge of Allegiance at the South Whidbey Republican Women’s annual fundraiser dinner on Sept. 14 held at the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club. Here she is pictured with Fredi Simpson, Republican National Committee woman for Washington state, who served as keynote speaker.

Minimum wage raises in 2014 Washington’s minimum wage will increase to $9.32 per hour beginning Jan. 1. The state department of labor and industries calculates the state’s minimum wage each year as required by Initiative 688. The 13-cent-per-hour increase, from $9.19 to $9.32 an hour, reflects a 1.455 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI‑W) over the last 12 months ending August 31. The CPI-W measures

average price changes for goods and services purchased by urban wage earners and clerical workers. More information on Washington’s minimum wage is available at Wages. Lni.wa.gov. Employers and workers also may call 360902-5316 or 1-866-219-7321.

A judge has awarded a stay on the lawsuit filed against the Navy by a Coupeville group seeking to stop touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville. The group received what they considered a victory when the Navy agreed to conduct the Environmental Impact Statement the lawsuit demanded, but they have additional plans, including a classaction lawsuit. Controversy over OLF reached a fevered pitch earlier this year after increasing complaints about the noise associated with the Navy’s ongoing Field Landing Carrier Practice or touch-and-go operations. The Navy is in the process of transiting from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-8G Growler, an aircraft some believe is louder. The Navy suspended operations at OLF through the end of the calendar year and the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve or COER filed a lawsuit demanding the EIS with the aim of closing OLF and stopping touch-and-gos there completely. However, according to COER President Ken Pickard, the group has no plans to stop at the EIS. In October, the group plans to release a report compiled by health experts hired by COER, explaining the health risks associated with the operations at OLF to both

Damages are estimated at $500 million, according to the report. “We don’t want money, just peace and quiet,” Pickard said via email after the interview. “But if we can’t get peace in quiet we will have to go in this direction, a four-county wide inverse condemnation class action, get the compensation for our lost property values due to jet overflight and then decide whether to sell out and move on or stay and live with ear protectors on our heads. I will leave if we are unsuccessful, however I believe we will prevail in getting the OLF closed to military flight training.” Ultimately, Pickard said, the only solution may be a “political decision” on a national level, but he has been disappointed at the lack of response from Rep.

and other leaders. Pickard said Larsen, who is an outspoken supporter of the Navy, has been unresponsive to the group’s complaints. A statement released from Larsen’s press office said: “Our office was in consistent contact with and responded to inquiries from the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve until they filed a lawsuit, at which point they understood we could no longer engage. Since that time our office records show we haven’t received any requests to meet with their group.”

children and adults, Pickard said. He said among the group are researchers associated with Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle. “The impacts are enormous, real and scientificallybased,” Pickard said. If the Navy intends to restart the touch-and-gos at OLF in January as planned, COER’s attorney David Mann will file an injunction for them to desist until the EIS is completed in 2015, Pickard said. Pickard said that while he believes the EIS may mitigate the problem, he is not optimistic that the EIS will lead to a closure of OLF. For that reason, COER is considering a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. He said the group plans to follow the example of a Virginia Beach group that has sued the Navy claiming that “loud FA-18 Hornets (at Oceana Naval Air Station) have lowered the value of their homes and negatively affected their everyday lives,” according to the Virginian-Pilot.

Fortunately, shutdown won’t close state parks Many “non-essential” government agencies and programs temporarily got the boot Tuesday after Congress refused to reach a budget agreement, forcing our country into a govMegan Hansen ernment shutdown. Some perspective On Whidbey Island we lost service personnel at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, who are forced into furlough for an unknown amount of time and two employees were furloughed at Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Fortunately the reserve office is still operating. Because of its partnership with the trust board, grants and projects headed by the trust will still continue. However, projects headed nationally, like Ferry House work, are discontinued for the time being. All 401 National Park Service sites are closed across the country, including Washington’s Mount Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, Mount St. Helens National Monument and North Cascades National Park, as well as smaller units in the San Juan Islands and elsewhere. National Wildlife Refuges will also be closed. According to the Washington Trail Association, all visitor centers and facilities are closed, people already in campgrounds or overnight facilities were given 48 hours to leave. All permits for backcountry camping and climbing were rescinded and no new permits are being issued. All National Park Service websites were also taken offline, and staff have stopped posting to social media streams. With all this national turmoil, there are some positives to consider. The shutdown does not impact Whidbey’s five state parks. Visitors can still continue to use the parks, a draw for many to the island, with their Discover Passes, of course. So as the weather changes and fall starts encroaching into the landscape, visitors and residents can still retreat into the landscape that makes Whidbey Island so appealing to so many. — Megan Hansen is editor of The Whidbey Examiner.

Thanks to those who support safe driving Editor, The 100 Deadly Days of Summer that began Memorial Day Friday ended Labor Day. It is one of the most dangerous and deadliest times of the year on our nation’s roads. Sadly it seems Island County was not

left unscathed. We lost at least one person to a driver suspected of being under the influence during this time while others were injured in suspected DUI crashes. Together we must do what we can to reduce the threat of DUI because it is a threat to each and every one of us. I’d like to thank those businesses and organizations that supported our Keep It a Safe Summer campaign. All funds raised are to be matched by

long-time Partner in Prevention Island Thrift up to $5,000 for IDIPIC’s mission to deter driving under the influence and underage drinking in our communities through education and awareness. We can all be Partners in Prevention when it comes to DUI to help keep us all safe from a 100 percent preventable scourge on our roads.

Miracles are growing everywhere on the rock

Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place Having spent most of my life in big cities, I didn’t use to care much where my food came from, except when the supermarket was out of something or the McDonald’s drive-through was backed up. Then I’d belly-ache about the terrible inconvenience. When I was 5, I asked my dad if hot dogs were made out of dogs. He said no, but he wouldn’t tell me what they were really made of. As an

adult I have assiduously avoided asking that question. But when you live on the Rock, you see where food comes from right before your eyes. From north to south, the island has a remarkable diversity of agriculture. Granted, sometimes it’s squeezed almost invisibly among the single-wides, McMansions, snowbird habitats, retirement aviaries, Navy housing and woodsy weekend retreats. For me, this has been a fascinating education in the Rock’s changing economy. Whidbey’s farmers used to be able to compete with the best of them across the water in America. Hubbard squash, wheat, turkeys, pigs, dairies, youname-it. For decades, trucks from the grocery chains and cooperatives came to pick up the Rock’s bounty. Before

that, it was hauled by boat from the Coupeville Wharf and other places to Seattle. But the corporatization of agriculture and grocery sales pretty much ended that. The Rock’s farms weren’t big enough or mechanized enough to offer the volume or the price the giants demanded. Some of the traditional farmers held on, if barely. Others gave up, and the land went for houses or other development. But over the past decade — and particularly since the economic crash of 2008 – there have been a lot of new hands in the dirt on the Rock. These days you can eat, drink or wear all sorts of things grown or made here: Goat cheese, alpaca and llama wool, heritage-breed pork and poultry, purple potatoes, lavender, grass-fed beef,

fancy greens for high-falutin’ Capitol Hill foodies, loganberry liqueur and even some wine from a few hardy varieties of Rock-grown grapes. We’re growing what the corporate farms don’t or can’t, and that’s a great success story not told enough. I’m especially intrigued by the number of young people working as interns at Rosehip Farm and Greenbank Farm and half a dozen other places, learning to be happy, chemical-free, non-corporate farmers. A lot of these folks have been to college and some have degrees. But they’ve turned their backs on suits, ties and cubicles for flannel, denim and hoes. Is that a response to the lousy job market for collegeeducated kids these days?

Perhaps. But I’d rather believe these inspirational young people instinctively understand the intangible joy of planting something and watching it grow. And they know how that outweighs the tangible stress of writing memos and attending meetings. My grandfather was a railroad bookkeeper. When he retired, he spent much of his time tending a 10- by 20foot vegetable garden beside his garage. I can still hear him cursing the terrible hardpan-clay soil and the lack of sun. But then he’d hold up a cucumber or a string bean, smile, toss it to me and say, “Here! Taste a miracle!” Since I moved to the Rock, I find myself becom“ wnPa imPaCt adS

Defense, big plays carry Coupeville over Nooksack By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

It was ugly and beautiful. The Coupeville High School football team went on the road for a much needed win, defeating Nooksack Valley 20-12 in a sloppy game Friday, Sept. 27. Turnovers, penalties and missed opportunities were plentiful, but anytime you put a check in the win column it is a pretty sight. Nooksack Valley ran 20 more plays (74 to 54) than Coupeville for a 335-245 advantage in yards and a 15-8 advantage in first downs but was derailed by five turnovers. The turnovers, however, had as much to do with Coupeville’s hardhitting, ball-hawking defense as the Pioneers’ lack of execution. The Wolves made plays on both sides of the ball when they needed them most, and none was bigger than a goal-line stand near the end of the first half. Nooksack Valley had second down at the Coupeville 1-yard line but couldn’t punch it in against the Wolves’ feisty front. Nick Streubel finished the job with a four-yard loss on fourth down. Down 6-0 in the first quarer, Coupeville responded with the help of a 62-yard run by Jake Tumblin that put the ball at the NV 10. Lathom Kelley covered the final

The Coupeville High School volleyball team lost a 3-2 thriller to visiting Sultan Tuesday, Sept. 24. The Turks squeezed out the win 19-25, 25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 18-16. Coupeville also lost 3-0 to Archbishop Murphy in Everett Thursday, Sept. 26. The Sultan outcome, how-

string of three consecutive Nooksack plays that ended in fumbles

ever, isn’t set in stone. Coupeville coach Kirsty Croghan protested the match over the officials’ ruling on a disputed Sultan substitution with the final set knotted at 14-14. Sultan was initially docked a point for a substitution error and then had it reinstated after much discussion. Croghan said, “I am contacting the head officials to find out if it was handled cor-

rectly.” Hailey Hammer powered the Coupeville offense with 15 kills. Madeline Strasburg added 11 and Megan Oakes five. Sydney Autio set them up with 42 assists. The Wolves were unable to generate much offense in the 25-15, 25-20, 25-21 loss to Archbishop Murphy (3-2, 4-2). Coupeville (0-5, 1-5) goes to King’s (5-0) at 7 p.m. Tues-

day, Oct. 1.

SW completes sweep The South Whidbey tennis team completed a threematch sweep of Coupeville by upending the host Wolves 4-1 Wednesday, Sept. 25. Aaron Curtin and Ben Etzell earned the Wolves’ lone win, taking first doubles 8-5. The Wolves host Overlake at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4.

Wolves collect win

With just under eight minutes left in the third quarter came a

recovered by Coupeville. The third fumble was recovered at the Pioneer 1-yard line after a hit by Matthew Hampton. Josh Bayne ran a quarterback sneak behind the block of Streubel and the Wolves led 14-6 after Walstad’s PAT. Nooksack scored on a 10-yard run with 8:51 left in the game. Tumblin’s sack stopped the two-pointPAT attempt to tie the game. Coupeville then faced a thirdand-21 at the Nooksack 39. Tumlin not only picked up the first down but also raced into the end zone and Coupeville led 20-12. On the kickoff, Walstad’s squib kick ricocheted off a Nooksack lineman and Coupeville recovered to all but seal the game. Maggio had high praise for his defense: “It is what is making our team go. Our defensive backs were outstanding tonight.” Tumblin led the defensive effort with 13 tackles; Kelley had 12 tackles and Arnold 11. Streubel picked up two sacks. Tumblin also rushed for 127 yards on 13 carries. Bayne completed 4-of-12 passes, all to Wiley Hesselgrave, for 37 yards. Coupeville (2-2) has Friday off before going to Granite Falls (0-4) at 7 p.m. Oct. 11 for the first of four league games.

SHUTDOWN: Navy personnel, reserve staff impacted by closures From page 1 Representatives continued to pass a shortterm spending bill back and forth Tuesday with no agreement. Republican leadership has said they refuse to pass a spending bill without defunding to the Affordable Care Act. “I am disappointed that the Senate and the House could not come to a reasonable compromise tonight,” said Washington Republican Rep. Dave Reichert. “A government shutdown is not in the best interest of the American people, whom we have promised to serve. But, I will not give up fighting for them.” Democratic Congressman Rick Larsen accused house republicans of “playing chicken with the government and our economy.” “When veterans’ phone calls go unanswered, when school children are turned away from national parks, and when scientists working on the flu vaccine are told to go home, Americans will at least know who broke their government,” he said. While not all Department of Veterans Affairs services will be shut down, many of the programs will be affected. “VA medical centers, clinics and other health services have advance appropriations for 2014 and will remain open,” VA spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said Monday in a news release. The VA has funds available to make sure claims and payments are processed, and pension, education and vocational rehabilitation programs will continue through late October. There currently are funds available to make sure claims processing and payments in the compensation, pension, education and vocational rehabilitation programs will continue through late October, she said. But after that, claims processing and payments in those programs will be sus-

pended once the funds are used up. Also, Veterans Benefits Administration will not be able to keep paying overtime for claims processors — something it began doing to try and tame the controversial backlog of disability compensation claims. All VA medical facilities and clinics will remain open and fully operational, providing inpatient and outpatient care, surgeries, prescriptions, dental treatments, extended care, mental health care, veterans’ centers, nursing home care and special health care services for women vets. The VA also says it will continue to provide military sexual trauma counseling, home loan processing, vocational rehabilitation payment processing; compensation and pension claims processing, application processing for headstones, markers and medallions, notification of death benefit actions and fulfilling orders for prosthetics. But the shutdown will mean suspension of the Veterans Benefits Administration Education Call Center; the VA Inspector General hotline; VA Consumer Affairs email, web and phone contacts; congressional liaison veterans’ queries; and VA job application functions. Recruiting and hiring will cease, the department said. Interments of veterans in national cemeteries will continue, but at a reduced schedule. “Tonight I join with so many Washington families in being frustrated and disappointed that House Republicans have shut down the federal government over a crisis of their own creation,” said Sen. Patty Murray, a democrat. “Shutting down the government over a law that has — and will continue to — provide Washington families with access to affordable health care is the height of irresponsibility and Washington state families deserve better.” The last federal government shutdown occurred 17 years ago and last three weeks, according to news reports.
