Silver lining for anglers Festival nets $105K in revenue By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

This year the Coupeville Festival Association netted more than $105,000 in gross revenue, more than any previous year. “For the size of our organization and what we bring in, I think it’s remarkable,” said festival president Mike Dessert. The increase in revenue, Dessert said, may be due to a few things, including the recent upturn in the economy. Vendor booth sales increase more than $10,000 from $291,000 to $307,000. “I think, with the economy, this is phenomenal,” Dessert said. “People were spending more money. We sell things you don’t have to have. We’re basically targeting disposable income.” One of the reasons Dessert suggested people might have spent more money is the type of items offered. “We are working very hard to maintain the quality and variety of our vendors,” he said. “That’s a priority for us.” With more than 250 volunteers, the as-

COER seeks delay on OLF operations By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve are asking the Navy to delay touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville until the completion of the ongoing Environmental Impact Statement. The request comes via press release in response to the Navy’s decision to delay the activation of a new Growler squadron until the EIS is complete. The request was sent via news release to state and federal lawmakers, as well as the Navy’s top brass, according to COER President Michael Monson. The Navy postponed the “stand-up” of an expeditionary electronic attack squadron, VAQ-143, in early August, saying it

Joel Talicurn starts off the month of September Monday by catching his second coho salmon of the morning from the beach at Keystone in Coupeville. September is expected to be an excellent month for coho fishing in Admiralty Inlet.

Early signs show coho should pick up By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

A new month gave reason for new hope for Joel Talicurn. In less than three hours Monday, he beached two coho salmon on the shores of Keystone spit in Coupeville. This came after many long days of no nibbles. “Lucky day,” he said. Talicurn was one of about three dozen anglers casting from the beach at Driftwood Park on Labor Day morning. By 9:30 a.m., at least six fish had been caught, marking the second morning in a row of heightened activity during this portion of shoreline at Admiralty Inlet. In even-numbered years, coho salmon, or silvers, represent the best opportunity for shore fishers to catch a salmon off Whidbey Island. The fishery typically heats up in September and continues through October.

The prime place to fish for coho is on the west side of the island in Marine Area 9, from Admiralty Inlet to Possession Point. Coho fishing is expected to be excellent in September, according to projections from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. If Sept. 1 was any indication at Driftwood Park, signs were pointing in that direction. Anglers may retain two coho per day but must release any chinook caught. “There’s been a lot more jumping out here. I just haven’t been able to catch them,” said Robert Grabiak, from Atlanta, Ga., who’s stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Mike Crowell of Coupeville landed a coho

Sunday but said so far the season has been lousy. Crowell said he likes to arrive on the shore at Keystone a couple hours before high tide and toss out a Buzz Bomb, the popular lure choice for most anglers. Anglers must replace the treble hooks or any other barbed hook with a single barbless hook. “I got a nice hit last night and lost it,” said Anthony Johnson of Coupeville. Johnson said he fished nearly every day in August and wasn’t able to reel in a salmon but

request a delay of training flights at OLF until the EIS is completed,” Monson said in COER’s news release. The Navy has no intention of stopping the operations at OLF but will keep to the 6,120 a year that was agreed to in the 2005 Environmental Assessment, according to Ted Brown, the Navy’s Installations and Environmental public affairs officer. Brown said touch-andgo training is tied to the carrier operations and local

had decided to await the results of the EIS, according to a report in the Navy League’s Sea Power Magazine. Monson is calling for the Navy to temporarily halt operations, as the squadrons did last year. “Since the Navy has announced that it is delaying the formation of a new Growler squadron until the EIS is completed, COER believes it is reasonable to

authorities have little control over the schedules. “It’s a requirement that they have to train a certain number of hours before they go to the carrier,” Brown said. “There’s no real flexibility. There are very good reasons why we fly.” Historically, the Navy exceeded 30,000 touch-andgo operations a year in the 1980s and the 6,120 they are now performing is not a lot when put in context, Brown said.

sociation logged more than 1,400 hours. Dessert said that’s an estimated $38,000 worth of volunteer hours. “I thought that was pretty significant,” Dessert said. “People tend to overlook volunteer hours. If you don’t volunteer, you have to pay for it.” Now that the 2014 Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival has passed, it’s on to the next one — and time to give away some money. While the association brought in more than $100,000 in revenue, there are still costs that need to be covered, including office rental space, bills for police coverage, insurance and other such bills that go into putting the festival on each year. After all is said and done, the association will give between $35,000-$40,000 in

The association has awarded grants for a variety of projects in the past, including stairways to the public beach, community flower planters, food banks, senior services, schools, arts, library and more. “We feel it’s better to give a little to everyone than a huge amount to one,” Dessert said. The association serves groups in the 98293 zip code. Grants will be awarded during the association meeting the first Monday in December at Whidbey General Hospital. It is also time to find art for the 2015 festival poster. The association is accepting proposals until Monday, Sept. 15. Dessert said the selection

The Central Whidbey Nonprofit Fair is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday during the market. Come learn about all of the dynamic groups that serve Central Whidbey. From Lions to Red Cross, the groups help serve a need in all aspects of the community. Learn about how Small Miracles helps people in need pay medical bills or how the newly formed Friends of Ebeys is raising money to support the Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Visit with members of Soroptimist International of Coupeville and discover how this group of women supports their community. Sponsored by the Town of Coupeville, the fair is a great opportunity for networking for the nonprofit groups, said Molly Hughes, town council member and fair organizer. A guide highlighting the area’s nonprofit groups, published by The Whidbey Examiner and sponsored by the Town, is inserted in this edition and will be available at the fair. The guide includes details and contact information about each organization. At noon, also don’t forget to keep your ear out for when The Examiner takes its annual Coupeville Community portrait.

Remember Navy fights so we can speak freely Editor, I begin by reminding folks Ken Pickard, with his polemic truck, is the very same polemicist who has lobbied on public record to Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard — who have attempted peacekeeping in a troubled region — to “take the death machine on this issue, quit licking their jackboots! Buck up! You know it is wrong for the military to abuse us with this toxic noise that is ruining our lives and property values, so act in accordance with what you know to be true instead of like worried, timid leaders, afraid of the military, afraid of losing the federal pork it delivers here on pay days.” Some dialogue Ken seeks. Sadly, his group’s preferred candidate wants “dialogue” too, inflaming a perception that Rick Hannold or his opponent will “Jack the Navy off of Whidbey.” I will not remain silent while my ability to watch — and hear — EA-18Gs defend my freedoms to write, peacefully assemble, pray, speak and petition my government is attacked by “beyond sanity” levels of ignorance, if not intolerance. Perhaps Mr. Pickard should put on his truck, “Thank you, America’s VAQ Wing, for defending my First Amendment freedoms, but I do not want to hear or see you defend the First Amendment over Central Whidbey.”

At least Mayor Conard understands that “all citizens have First Amendment rights of free speech.” But let us remember that without aircraft carriers, there is no operating forward to put the fist of freedom into the face of evil. Outlying Field (OLF) Coupeville is where the best practice happens — and it’s a treat to watch with earplugs in from 525 or fewer feet away. If the noise were really “toxic” like Mr. Pickard and Bob Wilbur claim, then I inquire, why not file health claims against the Navy and seek eminent domain instead of, according to U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Mark Rich, wait more than 10 years for an “exceptionally challenging” OLF Coupeville replacement? Eminent domain defined as “the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation”? Finally, I’m going to give some counsel: It would behoove the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce to pass a pro-Navy resolution like their Oak Harbor neighbor, and when the Whidbey EIS staff comes back to Coupeville, stress the need for civility with welcoming arms for the U.S. Navy and VAQ Wing supporters. Otherwise, the discomfort many have with the silence of the supposed friend of the Navy that is Coupeville toward COER’s bullying of America’s VAQ Wing will only grow.

Navy trains here to go overseas to protect us Editor, This letter is in response to Ken Pickard’s First Amendment rights sign. Another American journalist, a civilian, was beheaded by ISIS last week. This barbaric group will go to all lengths to show their determination to destroy anyone who does not share their beliefs. Pilots trained right here at OLF are sitting off the shore of the Middle East ready to stop this brutal group. Ken Pickard, you have not participated in any form of military service for the United States where you still have your First Amendment rights. You have not had to feel the gutwrenching when you are notified of your family member lying in a MASH tent in Vietnam. Some of the property you inherited and where you live is subject to the Outlying Field air traffic. I live under the same training area, and I would rather hear the roar of the Growlers than the screams of the ones being beheaded and the cries of the family members when they received the news today of the death of their child. God bless the families of James Foley and Steven Sotloff and the families of the other 26 civilians missing and being held by the militants.

When Armageddon hits, I will survive Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place I grew up in the 1950s in Tacoma. My mother was a modern housewife who thanked heaven every day for making her life easier with Betty Crocker cake mixes, Swanson’s TV dinners, Hamburger Helper and storebought everything. Of course, since then, our society has evolved to even higher levels with drivethrough fast food, take ‘n’ bake pizza and yogurt in a squeeze tube. In my pre-Rock life, I was as guilty as the next person of eating while driving, calling a donut lunch, ordering MSGladen Chinese take-out and disregarding the seven-freshfruits-and-vegetables-a-day mandate from the surgeon general. Somehow I have survived. Since I arrived on the Rock five years ago, however, something amazing has taken place. I am treating food like my grandparents did. When I was a boy, I would go to Grandma Esther’s house on pickle-canning day and eat so many of her fresh dill pickles I sometimes got sick. But they were so good. On tomato canning day, I would pick the tomatoes

from my grandfather’s 10by-20–foot garden beside his garage and lug them into the kitchen for her. Grandma would be sterilizing the Mason jars. “Put them in the sink,” she’d order. “Pull the stems and make sure they’re washed.” I would watch her scald the tomatoes, peel them and gently shove them into the jars with some salty water. Then the jars would go into the boiling water to seal, and then finally they’d go down into her cellar to be consumed in the dark of wintertime. Grandma Esther always called it “time to put up.”

And that’s just what I have been doing for the past month. This summer has been sunny and absolutely perfect for my garden. My corn is not as high as an elephant’s eye, but it’s higher than it’s ever been. I am overflowing with cucumbers and zucchini. The Walla Walla onions are enormous. I harvested more than 100 pounds of potatoes — for the cognoscenti, they’re Chieftain reds and Yukon golds. Even the tomatoes are big this year, which is nothing short of a miracle on the Rock, and there are lots of them.

Thank You Dr. Sidney Sparks

I may try to make fresh pasta sauce. I froze enough Gravenstein apples to make 10 pies and made apple butter out of the rest. The crabapple harvest was small but enough to make five jars of jelly, which is a most remarkable crimson color. I put up several pints of green beans. And did I mention the 10 jars of pickled beets? Then, of course, there are the eight quarts of dill pickles I just put up. And our friend Charlene gave us her Grandma Larsen’s recipe for bread-and-butter pickles, so we have half a dozen pints of those. Next up: What to do with

the pears. Freeze? Can? Dehydrate? Then it’s on to the corn and pumpkins. I acknowledge that I still enjoy an occasional fast-food meal. And I still buy Chinese takeout (hold the MSG), and Papa Murphy’s does make a great take ‘n’ bake. I don’t feel a bit guilty. Once in a blue moon, my grandparents ate out too. But our pantry is becoming so full of my homecanned things that, should Armageddon happen — as it appears it may — I am relieved that we won’t starve. There’s just so much stuff to put up with when you live on the Rock.

FALL PREP PREVIEW

Coupeville ready to roll into Olympic League As Coupeville High School heads into its initial season in the Olympic League, tennis coach Ken Stange said it best: “Everything is new. New format. New league and opponents. New postseason. New travel. We will flex, bend, adapt and grow. We will also make the most out of our situation, good or bad. Change can be a bit awkward at times, but I’m ready and willing.” Here come the Wolves.

Football

It’s a recipe for success. The Coupeville High School football team is coming off its best season in eight years, returns key players in key positions and has a favorable schedule. Blend that with the Wolves’ foray into the Olympic League, which will pit Coupeville against schools similar in size, and the result is likely to be satisfying. Coupeville overcame injuries to win four of nine games last fall, only the second time since 2005 the Wolves have put that many checks in the win column. Nine lettermen return, including three capable runners/receivers and five athletic, veteran linemen. The club’s top rusher last year, Jake Tumblin, graduated, but three of the next four in yardage are back, led by senior Josh Bayne. Bayne ran for 346 yards in 54 carries, posting 6.41 yards

per carry. He displayed what he could do as the featured back, ripping Sultan for 204 yards and three touchdowns, when Tumblin was injured. Junior Wiley Hesselgrave, who split time between wingback and wide receiver, rushed for 140 yards on 27 carries for an average of 5.2 yards per run. Junior Lathom Kelley finished with 84 yards on 13 rushes, a 6.5 average. In addition, Bayne and Hesselgrave were the top receivers in 2013. Bayne snagged 11 catches for 144 yards; Hesselgrave grabbed 13 for 109. Tumblin also led the defense, but four of the next six leaders in tackles return. Bayne collected 66 tackles and five interceptions; Hesselgrave added 52 tackles, two sacks and an interception; Kelley had 51 tackles and Aaron Wright 30. Wright is one of the five returning linemen, a group head coach Tony Maggio labeled “fast and experienced.” Wright will be joined up front by Oscar Liquidano, Carson Risner, Matt Shank and Isaac Vargas. The Wolves also return experience on their special teams. Punter/kicker Joel Walstad is back, and Bayne and Hesselgrave were the top return men last season. One spot Coupeville will break in a new starter is at quarterback, where Walstad

takes over. Among the key newcomers, according to Maggio, are sophomore lineman Dominic Dausey and the Smith brothers, junior C.J. and freshman Hunter. Both play quarterback and defensive back. “We should be competitive again,” Maggio said, “and we are excited to compete in our new league.” Depth is Maggio’s biggest concern: “Although our numbers are small, if we stay healthy we could do some great things.” The team’s health took a hit when Risner, who missed much of last year with a knee injury, was re-injured and may miss a few games. Maggio sees Port Townsend as the biggest threat to win the division. “They had a great group of young kids last year,” he said. The Redhawks defeated the Wolves 41-0 in a nonleague game in 2013. Coupeville and Port Townsend will join Chimacum and Klahowya of Silverdale in the Olympic League’s new four-team, 1A division. Maggio called the new alignment a “great fit for our school.” The Wolves will play each divisional opponent twice and have nonleague games with 1A South Whidbey (5-5 last year), 2A Sequim (0-10) and 2B Concrete (8-2).

Volleyball

Although the Coupeville High School volleyball team lost six regulars to graduation, it returns much of its firepower from last season. Back is junior setter Sydney Autio to steer the ball to hard-hitting seniors middle blocker Hailey Hammer and outside hitters Kacie Kiel and Madeline Strasburg. Hammer earned all-Cascade Conference honorable mention in 2013. The quartet will be joined by key newcomers juniors McKayla Bailey (defensive specialist), Monica Vidoni (opposite) and Tiffany Brisco (defensive specialist), junior McKenzie Bailey and sophomore Valen Trujillo (libero/ defensive specialist), according to first-year coach Breanne Smedley. “We have a lot of potential to be competitive this year,” Smedley said. “Once the girls start stepping into their roles and playing as a team, then we can live up to that potential to have a solid season.”

ABOVE: Senior Aaron Curtin, a state qualifier last year, will play No. 1 singles for the Wolves this fall. BELOW: Senior Kacie Kiel returns to propel the CHS volleyball offense. Smedley is pleased with her team’s work ethic and “desire to learn and improve.” Smedley is the team’s third head coach in three years, and with that comes “some growing pains associated with learning new systems and information.” However, the squad is “doing a great job of working through those.” The coach’s goal is daily improvement. “I always ask my players at the end of practice, ‘Are you a better volleyball player and teammate now than when your started practice?’ If they can honestly answer ‘yes’ to that question, then we will be successful this season.” That desire, she hopes, will lead to a league title, but it will only happen if “we are working to improve one day at a time.” Regardless of the number of wins, the season will be a success if “we can be selfless teammates and play together as a team,” Smedley said. Since Coupeville is entering a new league, they have SEE SPORTS PREVIEW, A7

Page 7 performances.” “I attended a recent conference with the other school soccer coaches, and I was very impressed,” he added. “A tremendous collection of highly respected and experienced coaches.” The biggest challenge from the Olympic League should come from Klahowya, a state qualifier the last five years, and “ourselves — we can’t control our competition, but we can control how we play.” The season begins with a nonleague game against island foe South Whidbey at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, at Mickey Clark Field.

llittle information about their opponents. Therefore, the Wolves need to “treat each game as if we are competing against our toughest opponent,” according to Smedley. “We cannot afford to rank one team over the next at risk of not playing to our fullest potential in every match,” she added. The Wolves will take part in the Oak Harbor Jamboree at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, and then head to South Whidbey for a nonleague match at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9. The first home match is 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, with Friday Harbor.

Cheer

Tennis

For Stange, the outlook for his club this fall is a mystery. He knows the talent of his own team, but doesn’t “quite know what to expect” from his opponents. Like the other Coupeville teams, Stange’s squad is heading into the Olympic League for the first time. Unlike the other Coupeville teams, the tennis team will face a combined team from Port Townsend and Chimacum, negating the advantage of playing them — schools about their own size — separately. Also on the schedule, along with Olympic League opponent Klahowya, are nonleague matches with always tough South Whidbey and three 2A schools, North Mason, Sequim and Archbishop Murphy. The new league also brings a new format, three singles and four doubles matches each contest. In the past, the Wolves played two singles and three doubles matches. “That creates more opportunities,” Stange said, “but it also means that more players will have to step up.” With 23 players this year, Stange will not have trouble filling the extra slots. The three singles spots will be manned by a trio of talented players. Senior Aaron Curtin, who qualified for state in doubles last year with then-senior Ben Etzell, will handle No. 1 singles, Stange said. Junior Sebastian Davis, who placed second in singles at district in 2013, and senior Kyle Bodamer, a regular from last year’s team, will round out the singles roster. Also back from last year are two juniors who played varsity part time: Loren Nelson and Connor McCormick. Key newcomers, Stange

Others who should see varsity time are junior Jared Helmstadter, sophomore Grey Rische and freshmen

Joey Lippo and William Nelson. Stange’s goals for the year are for his players to grow, enjoy the experience and give maximum effort. The Wolves head to Everett to play former league foe Archbishop Murphy at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10. The first home and con-

ference match is at 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, with Klahowya.

Soccer

“What’s not to like?” The reasons for Coupeville High School girls soccer coach Troy Cowan’s optimistic comment about the upcoming season are plenty.

Jim Waller photo

Julia Myers (blue jersey) will tend the net for the Coupeville soccer team again this season.

First, he noted, the move to the Olympic League will allow his team to play against schools more its size. Second, the Wolves lost only two players to graduation. Next, Coupeville returns seven seniors, and most are multi-year letter winners. And, finally, Cowan welcomes an “extremely talented and gifted freshman class.” The team’s strengths, Cowan said, are its “experience, leadership,” “a junior with dynamite in her right foot” and “three freshmen with several years of select soccer.” The senior leadership comes from letter winners Marisa Etzell, Jacquelyn Ginnings, Mickayla LeVine, Ana Luvera, Ivy Luvera, Julia Myers and Erin Rosenkranz. The explosive junior is Jennifer Spark, and the three freshmen are Mia Littlejohn, Sage Renninger and McKenzie Meyer. Another key newcomer, according to Cowan, is senior Christine Fields, a three-time state qualifier in golf. Depth could be a problem, Cowan said, as well as the unknown element of the new conference. The goals for 2014, according to Cowan, are to “make an immediate and profound impact in the new league — send a message of arrival, play hard and give 100 percent, never quit, no concussions or major injuries, show good sportsmanship and conduct ourselves as ambassadors from Coupeville High School.” Cowan said he is “excited” about the move to the Olympic League and playing against “similar-sized schools and be evaluated from these

The Coupeville High School cheer team is a family affair, both literally and figuratively. The squad includes three sets of sisters, but regardless of ancestry, the squad has a tight bond, according to coach Cheridan Eck. “I feel that we are a strong group of ladies who look out for one another like a family of sisters,” Eck said. “I constantly express to them about their inner strengths and capabilities, that when they believe in themselves, they can do anything.” Eck wants her athletes to “learn about being a positive role model to not only others but to themselves, learn how to become more disciplined in their daily lives and, most of all, to enjoy the love and success that life will bring them.” This is Eck’s first year as the head coach during the fall season; she took over for long-time coach Sylvia Arnold last winter. “It has been extremely rewarding so far, and I am looking forward to a fabulous season,” she said. Helping smooth the way is a large group of returning members: seniors Destiny Bitting (captain), Kylie Burdge (captain), Bella Cedillo, Makayla Clavette, Amanda Foley, Ashlyn Miller, Camilla Rische, Ciera St. Onge and Brittani Wilkinson; juniors Allison Dickson, Jovanah Foote and Sylvia Hurlburt; and sophomores Kiara Burdge, Robin Cedillo, Lainey Dickson and Payton Wilson. The newcomers are seniors Katie Lovell and Cassidy Rydell; juniors Jamzine Franklin, Maddy Neitzel and Julianne Sem; and freshmen Jessica Bester and Ayanna Jeter. Eck has some lofty future goals for her team, including a trip to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r â€™s a n d b u y e r â€™s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the sellerâ€™s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
