Republicans lead in early vote counts By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

It appears from the first count of ballots Tuesday night that the Republican momentum nationwide was felt in Island County. Republican candidates are ahead in all but one of the contested local and legislative races affecting Island County. The race for the new Island County commissioner, however, is too close to call. Republican candidate Rick Hannold, a North Whidbey resident, is ahead of Camano Island Democrat Karla Jacks by just 301 votes. Hannold has 11,868 votes, or 51 percent, while Jacks has 11,567, or 49 percent. In an interview after the results came in, Hannold said he was expecting a close race. “It’s too early to get excited,” he said, noting that he was behind in the first count of

Transit audit leads to criminal inquiry By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay said he was very surprised by the news of a criminal investigation based on the audit of Island Transit. Clay, the chairman of the Island Transit board, noted that the auditors emphasized that they did not identify any misappropriation of funds. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said Monday that the Washington State Patrol agreed to conduct a criminal investigation into “certain conduct” described in an audit report of Island Transit.

Coupeville High School juniors Sebastian Wurzrainer, left and Sebastian Davis rehearse for “Fair Exchange,” which opens Friday night.

Showtime for troupe By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

It’s five nights before the first play of the school year for Coupeville High School’s drama club and Taryn Ludwig has the giggles. “Focus people!” rings a commanding voice offstage. Peg Tennant, the drama advisor at Coupeville, has been through this drill before and knows there’s a cure for contagious laughter. Anticipation. When the group that calls itself the CHS Wolf PAC Theatre Troupe inches closer to Friday night’s opening performance of “Fair Exchange,” the giggling will subside and the focus will become ever sharper. “Thursday you start to panic,” senior Bella Cedillo said. Once the lights dim and a hush is felt inside the Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Friday, it’s showtime. “With the combination of eyes staring at you and the quietness backstage ... it makes it so the goofiness is gone,” junior Sebastian Davis said. “We can focus on being our characters.” Tennant, who’s mentored drama students

at Coupeville since 1996, is intrigued by this group, particularly the junior class members who’ve been tight for years. However, success to Tennant is defined by the experiences shared from the set painter to the actor with the most speaking lines. “We are an ensemble,” she said. “We are not a star vehicle. Everyone’s important. The actors are not better than the techies or vice versa. “We have three rules: Safety, respect and fun. You don’t have to like each other and be buddies outside of drama, but you need to be respectful. It works. You create a culture. We

Bruce Stevens and Emily Norris opened Emily’s Sweets & Treats last week in the Mariti Chocolate Building. The bakery offers cupcakes, cookies, truffles, coffee and more.

Congratulations winners Jon and Jodi Crimmins!

Couple hopes to fill sweet niche lection of flavoring offerings, all based on public inquiry. And will grow with demand. Cupcakes are pretty hefty, with a price tag of $2.50. “I want it to be a good value,” Norris said. As a sous chef at Christopher’s, Stevens has the culinary background and assists where he can. Norris said Stevens is in charge of the cookies as well as removing items from the oven. She’s on “strike” since burning her finger on a batch of peanut butter cookies. Both Stevens and Norris, who works as a server at Front Street Grill, plan on keeping their current jobs in addition to the shop. Norris said she will also partner with another sweet purveyor on Front Street,

which happens to be run by her parents. Norris is the daughter of Joel and Lorene Norris, who own Kapaws Iskreme. Together, the two businesses plan to host ice cream and cupcake parties in the courtyard behind the building. And just a week into their sweet adventure, the couple said they’ve received a lot of support and an already growing return customer base. “It’s been great,” Norris said. “A lot of business owners have come in a said they’re glad to have us.” Emily’s Sweets & Treats is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a week.

A new business on Front Street is hoping to satisfy downtown’s sweet tooth. Emily’s Sweets & Treats opened last week in the Mariti Chocolate Building and owners Emily Norris and Bruce Stevens already have regulars. The recently married couple offer a variety of sweets including cupcakes, cookies, cake balls, truffles, muffins and the occasional scone. They also offer coffee and espresso made with JennyBean coffee, a local Coupeville roaster. Stevens said JennyBean has created an exclusive roast, which the shop will also soon carry for retail sale. Being a barista is a new job for the couple, but they said their customers have been patient with them “Venti? What’s that?” Stevens joked. “We have small, medium and large.” They also plan to sell cold beverages to go with their tasty confections. And soon, they said, they

hope to have the market on apple juice sales on Front Street. They took over the building in July and have steadily been working on getting permits and equipment all while planning a wedding. “She focused on the wedding and I focused on the bakery,” Stevens said. But it’s Norris’ enterprise at baking that opened the shop. “I’ve been making cupcakes for years,” she said. Norris has done special cupcake events over the last several years with Front Street Grill and Vail Wine Shop. The shop will carry standard flavors such as chocolate with chocolate frosting, but Norris said she is open to ideas and does take specialty orders. “My favorite is the chocolate, chocolate, but I made an apple spice (cupcake) and it might have changed my life,” she said. As the business grows, so will the offerings. Right now the coffee side of the business has a small se-

Thanks for supporting Gifts from the Heart Editor, It was a cold and stormy morning. It was raining sideways. The race course was muddy and slick. But none of that stopped nine fabulous teams from coming out to the seventh annual Harvest Fest Relay Races. Thank you to the two food bank teams, the “Pumpkin Posse” and the “Friends of Dorothy,” the Town of Coupeville “Town Spirits,” the “Lady Lions,” the Rosehip Farm’s “Rose Hypnotists,” the Greenbank Farm’s “Flight Crew,” the LDS “The Beet Goes On,” the Christ the King’s “Poncho King’s,” and last but certainly not least this year, the CHS Drama Club/Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association’s (CHWA) “Those Drama Kids.” The teams came out in costumes with energy and enthusiasm that could not be dampened by the weather. It was a fun day, all for the benefit of our local food bank, Gifts from the Heart. With the help of a couple of large matching donations, these nine teams raised $28,970.30 for the food bank. The team that raised the most money was CHWA’s Those Drama Kids. The team with the fastest course time was the Poncho King’s, and the People’s Choice Award went to the Friends of Dorothy. An additional prize was awarded to the Rose Hypnotists for coming in second place in the fundraising category. I would like to thank all the teams, the food bank volunteers and friends of the food bank who manned the course and worked the registration tent and the few brave spectators who came out to cheer us on. I would like to thank Peg Tennant, the manager of the Coupeville Farmers Market, and all of the farmers and vendors who share their space with us. I would like to thank the Whidbey Examiner, who gave the races great coverage this year, and the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, who helped raise the matching funds for the large donations. Most of all, I would like to thank our community members who never cease to amaze me with the depth of their commitment to the food bank. Because of your generosity, we are able to help hundreds of families by “respectfully giving food to those in need” and assist school children with weekend food with our Meals 2 Kids program. As we prepare for the upcoming holidays, the Gifts from the Heart volunteers want to assure you that we are truly thankful for your continued support and that we strive to be careful custodians of the funds you entrust us with. Thank you.

Molly Hughes, president Gifts from the Heart

Need to clarify transit’s reasoning on payout Editor, Recent discussion of Island Transit finances confuses the State Audit Report with the separation agreement for the previous executive director. The official State Audit Report covers 2013 and part of 2014 and recommends more careful definition and tracking of paid leave (sick leave, vacation time and compensation time). It did not document any “theft” of sick leave, vacation time or compensation time; rather, it recommended better documentation of these categories for all salaried personnel, which has been instituted immediately. Unfortunately, the audit report did not mention that accrued vacation days for 2013 and 2014 for the former executive director can and do accurately account for the longer dates out of the office in 2013 and 2014. The separation agreement with the previous executive director, Martha Rose, was drafted by legal counsel, in consultation with the Washington State Transit Insurance Pool (WSTIP) in October 2014. It included carefully calculated benefit obligations set forth in Island Transit’s Personnel Policies, including payouts for unused sick leave and vacation subject to maximum caps on payouts as provided in these policies. Due to 25 years of employment with Island Transit, Martha Rose had accrued consider-

able sick leave and also vacation hours going well beyond the caps. The settlement did not reimburse these above-cap hours. Amounts paid out in the separation agreement were contractual obligations pursuant to Martha Rose’s employment agreement and personnel policies that apply to all Island Transit employees. Upon the recommendation of legal counsel, the separation agreement was accepted unanimously at the Oct. 17 meeting of the Island Transit Board.

Jim Sundberg Langley City Council representative on Island Transit Board

Bob Clay must go from transit board Editor, I am probably one of a few Island Transit users speaking up. As such, I stand with Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley in his efforts to at the least get Island Transit an advertising contract and get new Island Transit board members who will take their responsibilities seriously. At the least, Bob Clay must go. Clay certainly knew before the Oct. 24 State Auditor’s Office Exit Conference about the former executive director’s inability to report leave correctly yet agreed to pay over $80,000 to a former executive director who, according to the

auditor’s office, shares the blame for many of Island Transit’s problems. A severance agreement was also arguably fiscally irresponsible. Furthermore, Mr. Clay’s attempt to discredit the State Auditor’s Office Team Bellingham at the Exit Conference is ignoble. At least the former Team Bellingham Director Sadie Armijo explained in her last audit of Island Transit there were no “red flags” because Island Transit had over $2 million in reserves in 2012 and was building a necessary but opulent new headquarters. Therefore, Mayor Nancy Conard should please review Bob Clay’s performance on the Island Transit Board, instruct Clay to issue a public apology to Sadie Armijo and Andy Asbjornsen — the past and present Team Bellingham commanders I consider consummate professionals — and place on a Coupeville Town Council agenda a public confidence vote about Clay’s representation of Coupeville to the Island Transit Board. The ultimate issue to this Island Transit rider is if the Island Transit Board can rebuild Island Transit. I hold the view that it is impossible for most of Island Transit’s current board to continue due to multiple negative surprises destroying trust, the recent State Audit, profligate spending policies and the Island Transit 2014-2019 Transit Development Plan being so deficient it is unclear to me when or if Saturday service will restart.

Keep it charming, Winter doesn’t mean your MARK historic, genuine begonias are gone forever THE DATE

Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place I just spent 17 days crossing something amazing off my bucket list. In September, I cruised the Danube, Main and Rhine Rivers on a luxury boat with 160 other bedazzled tourists through six countries, past countless castles, innumerable cathedrals and more cobblestones than there are stars in heaven. On our day excursions, we gawked our way through the narrow streets of more quaint towns than you can rattle a medieval saber at. Bratislava in Slovakia, Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic and Rothenburg in Germany, to name a few. Along the way, I shamelessly indulged in my sausage, pastry, beer and pork addictions. I marveled at how these little towns had retained their charms while remaking themselves to face 21st century economic realities. Each of them attracts more than a million visitors every year. Crowds of tourists wend their way behind tour guides waving flags and umbrellas to keep them together, speaking in a dozen languages. They stop for samples of gingerbread or pretzels. They shell out lots of euros for authentic souvenirs — most, of course, made in China. An occasional BMW, Mercedes or police van maneuvers carefully around the crowds, but automobiles are mostly forbidden. Clean public toilets are everywhere, but first you drop a coin in a slot. All these towns used to do something other than sell charm, great food and trinkets. They were mill towns, government and military centers, agricultural marketplaces, usually clustered around a cathedral as the center of public life. That’s all gone with the wind. Citizens of these towns today, for the most part, operate restaurants, stores and tourists attractions. Then they go home to “new” areas outside the medieval walls.

This gives their towns a certain squeaky clean, Disney quality. Charming, quaint and wonderful, just not quite real. Not quite lived in. I have pondered this since I returned to charming, quaint, historic Coupeville in the heart of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. It has made me more in love than ever with our historic sites, beautiful physical surroundings and great places to eat and shop. I realize that I stirred up a storm a few months ago when I poked some fun in this column at the many, many summertime visitors that come here to enjoy briefly what we get to enjoy year-round. Breathe easy, everybody. That’s not where I’m headed this time. Unlike those old towns in Europe, Coupeville is still a government and military center and an agricultural marketplace. Most of us still live in or near town, not elsewhere, and we eat, shop and congregate here. But, like those old towns in Europe, we are increasingly dependent on tourism for our economic growth, and in the 21st century that’s a good thing. Tourism is one of the few booming industries almost everywhere around the globe. And here’s another good thing: Unlike some of those medieval towns in Europe, we aren’t a Disney caricature of ourselves — at least not yet. Those of us who live here and our visitors all recognize the genuine feeling of this place we call home, and that’s something to treasure and protect. We do live in a Historical Reserve. But for whom is it “reserved?” Fortunately, we have time to figure all this out, including how to better manage our growing popularity with tourists. All we need is the will and the consensus to do it.

toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Just because your hostas are starting to look about as attractive as cattle silage, don’t despair. Their roots will do just fine in our northern winters, and they’ll come back bigger and better than ever in the spring. Not so begonias. These natives of tropical climates will not survive if left outside in the winter. If you’re happy with treating your begonias as annuals and replacing them every year, then go ahead and compost them when you’re done with them. If you can’t decide when the right time is to do that, then leave them alone and the first frost will make the decision for you by killing the stems and leaves. The first hard frost will put an end to the roots. If the first frost hasn’t arrived yet, you have a chance to overwinter your wax begonias indoors as house plants. These are the begonias that have shiny, waxy-

looking leaves. They can be finicky due to the change in humidity, heat and light indoors, so don’t be surprised if you experience some leaf drop. Put them on a tray of pebbles to increase humidity, place them in bright filtered light and don’t let their feet sit in water. Sounds a lot like an African violet, doesn’t it? Just make sure when you bring any plants inside you don’t bring little critters or diseases in with you. Don’t forget to do some detective work and look for slug and snail eggs that may have been left to overwinter in the soil. Believe me, you’ll be glad you did. Tuberous begonias, on the other hand, enjoy dormancy during the winter months. They just can’t enjoy it outside in our winters, so they can come indoors too. But instead of treating them like house plants, you’re going to store those tubers until spring gives the signal for new growth. The first step is to stop watering them. When they’re dry you can bring them indoors and take them out of their pots. They can withstand a light frost, which will make your job easier by killing off their leaves and stems. Just don’t

wait until after the first heavy frost or it’s too late. Clean off all the dirt and use a sharp knife to cut out any rotten spots you might find. Lay them out to dry in a warm and dry spot for several days. Once they’re completely dry, any remaining stems should be wizened enough to just come off Put them individually in something breathable, like a paper bag or newspaper, and store them in a cool, dark and dry place. If your garage gets cold enough to freeze in the winter, that wouldn’t be the place. Some people like to sprinkle their tubers with a fungicide before storing them. That’s up to you. You might also want to label them with the color if you’ve got more than one kind and color schemes matter to you. Check them from time to time during the winter and know you can still cut out any more rotten spots that crop up. You’ll know when it’s time to replant them when they start to sprout. As you stare out your window at rain and more rain, think how pretty those begonias will look on your front porch come summer. Keeping thinking it. Winter doesn’t mean your begonias are gone forever.

William “Bill” Ferringo

1811 NE 16th Ave Oak Harbor, WA 360-675-3447

William Sebastian Ferringo (Aug. 15, 1932 – Oct. 24, 2014), a longtime resident of Coupeville, Wash., passed away peacefully with his family around him under the compassionate care of the CCU staff at Whidbey General. Bill was an avid landscape, wildlife and portrait photographer both professionally and privately. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., he grew up on Staten Island, N.Y., where he learned his love of classical music, played the violin in school and also started using his exceptional talents in photography. He moved to Las Vegas, where he worked as a wedding and portrait photographer and many other professional jobs as well. He and his wife, Evelyn, retired to Coupeville approximately 25 years ago. After Evelyn passed in 1993, he met his more recent partner, Maria, who sadly predeceased Bill in 2011. He is survived by his son, Richard (Lorraine) and

Wyatt

Joan R. Wyatt, R.N. Joan R. Wyatt, R.N., died peacefully at her home in Coupeville Oct. 24, 2014, at the age of 92. She was born in Plummer, Idaho, to Fred and Gladys (Muzzall) Robertson. Joan grew up in Plummer, graduating from Plummer High School and then went on to Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing in Spokane. She played basketball as a young student. Joan graduated with a Registered Nurse degree.

She accepted her first nursing position in Colorado Springs, Colo., and then went on to Indianapolis. She decided to return to the Northwest and settled in Seattle, where she worked at Harborview Medical Center, Virginia Mason and Firland T.B. Sanatorium in North Seattle. She reconnected with a friend from Plummer, and soon she and John Wyatt were married. Joan and John had a plan to become a commercial fishing team. They lived on a houseboat on Lake Union and fished the area of LaPush to Port Angeles in their trawler. In 1956, they decided they wanted to begin their family and Seattle was not the place to have their children grow up. They visited several locations before deciding on Whidbey Island. They really liked the idea of having their family grow up in such a beautiful area. Joan and John purchased property near the Captain Whidbey Inn, and 57 years later, it is still home. For a time, she served as camp nurse at Camp Casey during the summer camping events. Joan was hired by Whidbey General Hospital as the surgical nursing director for the hospital shortly after it opened in 1970 and spent the next 17 years in that position. She became a pioneer in advanced health care on Whidbey Island. John died suddenly in 1975 and Joan was left to raise five children as a single parent. Joan retired from nursing in 1986. She had a passion, and over the years, developed a huge garden complex at home. She also grew fuchsias and became an expert on

them. She received certification as a master gardener and was a member of the North Cascade Fuchsia Society. She was a pioneer in organic gardening, experimented with plant grafting, was a beekeeper, an excellent cook and believed that you should eat what you grow. She was always canning goods from her garden. Joan loved following baseball and especially her beloved Mariners. She would gather her own scoring sheets and record every moment of each game she listened to or watched. Joan’s passion was the out-of-doors. She loved being out in the fresh air. She also developed a love of hunting that had been instilled in her by her father as a young child. Joan requested no formal funeral services be conducted. Cremation was held with private family inurnment to follow at a later date. Please visit Joan’s page in the Book of Memories hosted at www. wallinfuneralhome.com to share memories and condolences.

Bill graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1961, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics and physics. After graduation, he became an officer in the Air Force, where he was a pilot and served in Vietnam. He was shot down in 1963, sustaining substantial injuries that ended his flying carrier. For saving his shot up plane and, more importantly, her crew, Bill received the Distinguished Flying Cross. He also received the Purple Heart. After his flying career, he became a computer programmer and systems analyst for the Air Force. After many years with the Air Force, he and his family moved to the Portland, Ore., area as he took his computer programming skills to the private sector. Before long, he started his own computer software company. Bill, his wife and their children moved to Welches, Ore., in 1977. In retirement, he split his time between Welches and Coupeville, Wash. Bill enjoyed sailing, skiing, hiking, traveling and reading. Bill is survived by his wife, Suzanne, of 50 years and their two children, Gretchen and Erik, plus four grandchildren, Garen, Emma, Griffin and Bennett. Gretchen (Marter) McAbery still lives in the Welches area with her husband, Pat, and their two children, Emma and Griffin.

From page 1 are family, with all the fun a family can bring.” “Fair Exchange” is the first of two productions the theatre troupe will perform this school year with the second play, “Swing Fever,” happening in March. There will be four performances, all starting at 7 p.m., happening Nov. 7, 8, 14 and 15. Written by Kurtz Gordon, “Fair Exchange” is a comedy with suspense. It involves substituting male honor students to escort female honor students at two different high schools during the spring prom. Except, the transition isn’t so smooth. Miranda Kortuem, a junior at Coupeville, describes the play as “a student exchange arrangement gone wrong involving a spring prom and a felon.” The felon is played by ju-

His schoolmates tease him about smiling too much onstage.

“Sebastian is really bad at making a smug look on his face,” Koruem said. “In the last act, he’s not supposed to smile.” But everyone is smiling on this rehearsal night. The troupe has been

practicing for their performance since before the start of school in August. “I love it, especially show week,” senior Amanda Hoesman-Foley. “The thrill you get is so great.”

Election: Hannold, Grone take an early lead From page 1 the primary race. Hannold said he was grateful to his loyal volunteers, who he said made up for the big disparity in spending between him and Jacks. “It was really a shoe leather, grassroots campaign,” he said. Jacks could not be reached for comment. In the spirited race for county treasurer, Republican candidate Wanda Grone is ahead of her former boss, incumbent Ana Maria Nunez, a Democrat. Grone has 12,459 votes cast in her favor, or 54 percent, while Nunez has 10,507 votes, or 46 percent. Grone said Tuesday that she’s crossing her fingers. “I’m encouraged by the early vote count,” she said,

“but I learned in the primary the person with the most votes isn’t necessarily the person who wins.” Nunez offered a prepared statement. “During our nation’s worse recession,” she said, “I was able to invest our scarce dollars to see gains and more importantly my office kept people faced with tax foreclosures in their homes. I hope the good citizens of Island County will continue to be as well served as I have served them.” Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider, a Republican, is ahead with 12,368 votes, or 56 percent. Challenger Rebecca Wagner, an independent, garnered 9,553 votes, or 44 percent. In state Legislative District 10, Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, is far ahead of Libertarian challenger Michael Scott.

From page 1 Banks said the investigation will look into “irregularities in compensation” described in the recently released report from the state Auditor’s Office. He said he didn’t want to be too specific because the investigation may be larger in scope. The accountability audit largely focused on Martha Rose, the former executive director of Island Transit. The auditors said they found discrepancies between Rose’s calendar and her vacation leave balance. Banks said State Patrol Chief John Batiste authorized the investigation, but he hasn’t discussed it with detectives yet and doesn’t know the timeline. Banks and Island County Sheriff Mark Brown decided it would be best if an outside agency conducted the investigation because of the potential that a conflict of interest.

yards and a two-point conversion, and Ryan Griggs had three catches for 43 yards. Bayne led the defense with 10 tackles; Aaron Wright had four; and Hesselgrave, Oscar Liquidano and Matt Shank three each. The Wolves (4-5) wrap up their season with another non-league game, hosting Bellevue Christian (16) at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7. The Olympic and Nisqually leagues match up non-playoff teams for a final game at the end of each season. “We want to beat last year’s record,” Maggio said. The Wolves finished 2013 at 4-5.

Football loses sloppy game at Concrete By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Coupeville senior Aaron Curtin earned his second consecutive trip to the state tennis tournament by placing second in singles in the District 3 1A playoffs last week. The Wolves soccer team finished second in the Olympic League and qualified for district but lost 3-0 in the first round to Vashon Island. The football team fell 52-22 on a rain-soaked field in Concrete Friday, and the volleyball team closed out the season with two losses to Port Townsend.

Soccer Coupeville takes 2nd but falls at district

Tennis Curtin earns another trip to state tournament Playing at the Lakewood Racquet Club Friday, Oct. 31, Curtin fell in the finals 6-3, 6-2 to last year’s second-place finisher at state, Charles Wright’s Griffin Welsh. Coupeville’s other players in the tournament, Sebastian Davis and the doubles team of Loren Nelson and Connor McCormick, suffered their second loss of the meet in the first match Friday and were eliminated. Each could have placed as high as third by winning out. Coupeville coach Ken Stange said Curtin put up “a monstrous fight” while playing “some of the best tennis of his life.” Curtin qualified for state last year in doubles with then-senior Ben Etzell. “Qualifying for state in doubles is one thing, but earning a state berth in singles is a much more difficult proposition,” Stange said. “He beat some tough players, and he gave the champ some stiff competition.” Davis placed fifth, losing 6-2, 6-0 in the consolation bracket to Vashon Island’s Steen Jennings, who went on to finish third. The district tournament was a “valuable experience” for Davis, Stange said. “Next year, he’ll be the guy who is vying for a state berth instead of settling for fifth.” Nelson and McCormick lost 6-3, 6-0 to an Eatonville team. “In their first full year playing varsity doubles, they managed to qualify for districts,” Stange said. “Like Sebastian, they gained valuable experience in seeing the quality of play at the higher-level tourneys. Next year, they will likely make an impact at districts. “All in all, this was a pretty spectacular district tourney for CHS,”

Coupeville’s Erin Rosenkranz, right, watches as her shot hits the back of the net for Coupeville’s first goal in a 3-0 win over Port Townsend Thursday. The win wrapped up second place in the Olympic League for the Wolves. Stange said. “All three of our entrants won at least one match, and we even qualified a singles player for state, the first time I’ve had backto-back state appearances in my 19 seasons of coaching the boys and girls.” In Thursday’s first round, Curtin and Davis each won. Curtin pulled out a three-set win 7-6(8-6), 4-6, 6-3; Davis prevailed 6-2, 6-2. The pair each faced a Charles Wright athlete in the second round, with Curtin winning 6-4, 6-1, and Davis losing 6-2, 6-1. Nelson and McCormick won by default in the first round when one of their opponents withdrew because of a migraine. That led to a second-round matchup with Charles Wright’s three-time state champions, the Grenley twins. The Grenleys won 6-0, 6-0.

Football Concrete slogs way to win over Wolves Coupeville’s high-speed offense

was stuck in the mud at Concrete as the Lions whipped the Wolves 52-22 Friday, Oct. 31, in a nonleague game. After heavy rains, the Concrete field was a sloppy mess, according to Coupeville coach Tony Maggio. “It was the worst I have seen,” he said. “When you stepped on it, you sank up to your ankles in mud.” Maggio noted that “both teams had to play on it,” so it wasn’t an excuse, adding, “Concrete is a very good team.” “Their style of play was better suited for those conditions,” he said. The Wolves rely on speed, and cutting and acceleration were difficult in the muck. To make matters worse, Coupeville’s best power runner, Lathom Kelley, was injured in the first quarter and did not return. Concrete, behind a large line, plays a power running game with an occasional “pop pass,” according to Maggio. “They out-muscled us at the line of scrimmage,” Maggio said. “It was right up their alley, not ours. We just couldn’t stop them.” Had the game been played in better conditions, Maggio said, the

Wolves would have been more competitive. The Lions (7-1) scored two touchdowns to Coupeville’s one in each of the first two quarters, giving them a 28-14 lead at the break. The game’s turning point came at the beginning of the second half, Maggio said. The Wolves began the third quarter by recovering an onside kick and started to march in for a score. The drive, however, stalled and Coupeville came away with nothing. The momentum shifted back to Concrete, and the Lions, the Northwest 2B/1B League champions, pounded in 24 points in the quarter to win going away. Coupeville’s Josh Bayne slid his way to 136 yards on 12 carries for two touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Jacob Martin finished with 30 yards on seven carries, and Wiley Hesselgrave had 23 on three tries. QB Joel Walstad hit 12 of 26 passes for 172 yards and a score. Hesselgrave caught six passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. C.J. Smith grabbed four passes for 52

The Wolves split with Port Townsend during the final week of Olympic League play, and the win in the finale gave Coupeville second place in the Olympic League. The momentum, however, couldn’t carry Coupeville to a victory in the district tournament. The Wolves lost in the singleelimination first round of district 3-0 to Vashon Island at Kingston High School. Coupeville earned the right to be the home team in the match after finishing second in the Olympic League. District rules require playoff games to be on turf, and the closest available field was Kingston, according to coach Troy Cowan. “The Wolves played hard and never quit, which has been a common trait all year,” Cowan said. “We battled the entire match, just couldn’t maintain possession long enough to make a substantial difference in the match.” Coupeville struggled with the Pirates’ speed, Cowan said. “Vashon Island was a quality team that had a very strong possession game and was full of track stars,” he said. When the Wolves were able to make runs, captain Erin Rosenkranz was the “catalyst.” “Erin played extremely well,” Cowan said. “I am very proud of Erin and honored to have coached her for the past two seasons.” During the bus ride to the match, Cowan said he reminded his team “how lucky they were,” adding, “Oak Harbor’s soccer team was probably home in bed, South Whidbey’s girls soccer team was probably doing the same, but Coupeville’s soccer team was on the pitch still playing. Today, right now, CHS is the best soccer team on the island, and that says a lot.” The Wolves finished the season 6-7.

Volleyball Wolves can’t catch necessary win

Jim Waller photo

Coupeville’s Lauren Rose sets against Port Townsend .

WOLVES CONTINUED FROM A8 3-0 Thursday, Oct. 30. The Wolves were so dominant in the win, keeper Julia Myers touched the ball only once. After numerous chances, Coupeville finally found the net when Rosenkranz scored with 19 minutes left in the first half. Six minutes later Sage

Renninger scored off an assist from Rosenkranz. Rosenkranz also assisted on senior Marisa Etzell’s second-half goal. “Best passing and possession match of the year for us,” Cowan said. “They really moved the ball well and played a very intelligent match. “Finishing second is awesome and the entire Coupeville community is proud of our Lady Wolves and the terrific season we had.”

The Coupeville volleyball team needed to defeat Port Townsend at least once in their two-match series the final week of the regular season to qualify for the postseason, but the Wolves were unable to stop the Redhawks. Port Townsend won a fivematch thriller on its home court Tuesday, Oct. 28, before ending the Wolves’ season 3-1 in Coupeville Thursday, Oct. 30. Had the Wolves won both matches, they would have placed second to Klahowya (7-0, 14-0) in the final Olympic League standings. The top three teams qualified for district. One Coupeville win over Port Townsend would have created a three-way tie for second with the two schools and Chimacum. That would have forced a mini-tournament to determine which two teams advanced to district. Coupeville’s first loss to Port Townsend was a roller coaster for the Wolves. The Redhawks drilled the Wolves 25-5 in the first set, then Coupeville recovered to win two heart-stoppers, 33-31 and 26-24. Port Townsend took its turn winning a close game, securing the fourth set 25-23; then it won the match 15-11. “A tough loss,” coach Breanne Smedley said. “They played their hearts out, with the exception of game one. “We did a good job of reducing our errors and playing to our potential tonight. “We had a hard time holding on to some of our early leads in the fourth a fifth games, leaving us with too much catch up to do towards the end.” Valen Trujillo hit all 23 of her serves, producing three aces. She also had 38 digs. Madeline Strasburg added eight kills, 23 digs and five

Page 9 aces; Hailey Hammer had 15 kills and six digs; Kacie Kiel had 10 kills and 25 digs; Lauren Rose had 37 assists; and Katrina McGranahan had three blocks. In the second match, the Redhawks (3-3, 9-5) won 2516, 14-25, 25-19, 25-19. The Wolves (1-5, 1-11) battled to a 14-12 lead in the third game, but the Redhawks went on an 8-1 run to go up 20-15. Coupeville was within two, 21-19, before Port Townsend finished with a flourish. In the fourth set, Coupe-

ville scooted to a 5-1 lead. After the Redhawks tied it at 5, the game remained close until PT went up 18-14. From there, the Wolves could not cut the deficit to less than three. Smedley said that the strategy in the rematch was to attack. The Redhawks did a good job covering Coupeville’s continuous onslaught. “We had a hard time finding open spots and exploiting the defense,” Smedley said. The match was the final contest for Coupeville seniors

McKayla Bailey, who was out with an injury, Hammer, Kiel, Strasburg and Monica Vidoni. Three of the seniors were among the statistical leaders. Strasburg finished with eight kills, five aces and 22 digs; Kiel had seven kills, three aces and 18 digs; and Hammer added 15 kills and two blocks. Sophomore Trujillo recorded 31 digs, and freshman setter Rose dished out 27 assists.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’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 seller’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.
