Regatta sailing into cove By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

The waters of Penn Cove will be dotted with a fleet of sailboats this weekend as the Oak Harbor High School sailing team hosts the Northwest Interscholastic Sailing Association Double Handed District Championships Friday through Sunday, April 24-26. The Coupeville Wharf will be the launching point for the tournament, which will feature about 160 sailors from more than 20 schools. During the tournament, the event will have exclusive use of the wharf dock and the Coupeville boat launch will be closed to the public. Erik Mann, volunteer instructor and board member for the organization, said the group wanted to host the event in Penn Cove because the cove is deeper than the waters in Oak Harbor.

Plan coming to complete solar project By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Greenbank Farm solar project may finally see completion. The Port of Coupeville approved an agreement this month for Greenbank Community Solar LLC, a Mount Vernon based company, to lease the three remaining plots at the farm. Per the five-year agreement, Greenbank Solar will raise $250,000 from up to three dozen local participants. Kelly Keilwitz from Whidbey Sun & Wind designed and will install the solar panels. Kevin Maas from Greenbank Solar LLC presented two options to the port. Option one includes annual lease payments of $1,600, gifting roughly $6,000 in electricity annually directly to the farm, completion of a livestock-grade fence around the perimeter of the solar array and See SOLAR, page 2

Garden club plant sale Saturday By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

The howling wind that whistled outside the Coupeville Garden Club greenhouse brought out some light humor among members. They could laugh a little about it Tuesday. But there was nothing funny about the forces of nature for this club last year. The Coupeville Garden Club’s annual plant sale that takes place Saturday, April 25 at the Coupeville Recreation Hall is a big deal to members, serving as its major fundraiser of the year. Last year, wind knocked out power to the greenhouse the club shares with the school district in late January, turning hundreds of starter plants into tiny frozen statues and wilting the club’s hopes for a successful plant sale in 2014. There is no such bad fortune this year. This Saturday’s sale, which goes from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., will feature more plants and wider varieties that didn’t experience any growing interruptions. About 250 tomato plants will be on sale, as well as a large selection of perennials and

annuals, including many specialty geraniums. There also will be hanging baskets of annuals, fuchsias and lots of garden art, including concrete leaves. Russell Johnson built two metal garden trellises that will be raffled off to benefit the garden club. “We’re in good shape this year,” said Chipper Cromley. “We planted 300 tomato seeds and they all came back,” said Linda Youngs. The Coupeville Garden Club, which started in 1961, is dedicated to the tending of its historic town in colorful, well-manicured ways. The Coupeville club takes care of the grounds at the Rec Hall, Cook’s Corner

Park, Coupe’s Park and around the town’s welcome sign at State Highway 20 and North Main Street. The barrels that are seen throughout Coupeville are planted and maintained by the Coupeville Garden Club. In May, the club will be tending to hanging baskets. “It makes it feel friendly, I think,” Youngs said of the town. “I love this town,” said Patrice Heyduck, who moved to Coupeville from Illinois 15 years ago. “We could have lived anywhere in Washington. We chose Coupeville. For more information about the Coupeville Garden Club or plant sale, go to www. coupevillegardenclub.org

SOLAR: Goal is summer completion From page 1 a new information kiosk. Option two consists of the port and Greenbank Solar signing a power-purchase agreement and opens up the option to apply for a USDA grant, which would fund an electric car charging station among other things. This agreement involves the port purchasing power at an 80 percent discount for the five-year agreement, a free energy audit of Barn A, and up to $10,000 in energy efficient product upgrades like LED lighting. Both options end with Greenbank Solar gifting the entire system back to the port or transferring it for $1.

Mass and Keilwitz stressed the importance of getting the project going due to federal incentive deadlines. “If we don’t do this year, we lose 20 percent of the incentive, and it probably won’t happen,” Maas said. At the April 8 meeting, the commissioners debated over which option would be best, saying they were both good. “I think it’s a win-win,” said new Commissioner John Carr. Commissioners unanimously approved the basic agreement and will look at a power purchase agreement. That agreement will be on the May agenda for con-

sideration, said Executive Director David Day. Greenbank Farm has six 1/6 acre lots dedicated to community solar. The port charges $200 per lot, per year and also receives 1 percent of the leasees’ gross energy sales as well as 1 percent of the state and federal incentives they receive. Of the six lots, only three of them are currently operational. Three of the lots were leased by Newport Partners, but that lease was terminated at the end of 2014. Maas said the plan is to have the remaining plots operational by this summer.

County leaders press state for pot tax dollars By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Island County leaders are banding together to pressure state leaders for a fair share of marijuana sales tax revenue. The move is part of a larger protest from law enforcement and county leaders from around the state who are tired of the state and federal government rolling out new requirements that county’s must fund, implement and enforce. “Counties are agents of the state,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who was on the capitol steps in Olympia Thursday advocating for increased funding for counties. “These things continue to thwart the county’s abilities.” Washington became the second state implement legalized recreational marijuana last year through bill I-502, but not all leaders agree on where the newly-generated sales tax money should go. Island County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition sent a letter to state legislators protesting the lack of local funding to local government. The state budget currently proposes giving counties and cities just 6 percent of all marijuana sales tax to share state wide. “Once it gets to the local level, it’s going to be very low,” Price Johnson said. The coalition came together last year in response to the rise of property crime and drug abuse on the island and wants to be proactive about

pot use, Price Johnson said. The group believes 6 percent of the marijuana sales tax for counties is unreasonable and unfair. “Of the eight mandates for legalized marijuana from the federal government, five fall to local governments,” said the letter signed by Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy who chairs the coalition. “The new tax revenue generated from the emerging marijuana industry must be shared with local government in a way that reflects the responsibility reflected there.” Commissioner Jill Johnson was against allowing marijuana to be grown and sold in Island County, but eventually voted to support it to reflect the wishes of voters. “When folks passed I-502 there was an expectation that the tax dollars being collected would aid in enforcement at the local level, for the state to take 94 percent of the revenue is counter to the desires of the voters,” Johnson said. “What the state is doing by continuing to take and reduce revenue that was originally split with counties is confounding.” “It’s like the legislature doesn’t realize that county government is an arm of the state and they are asking us to work for free,” she said. “County costs for delivering service aren’t reducing so why are our payments for providing those services being cut?” Sheriff Mark Brown, who expressed concerns about legalized marijuana’s impact on public safety from the be-

ginning, said he hopes to find a “workable” compromise that will give his department the resources they need to keep the county safe. “I totally think the counties need to get this money and a large part of it should go toward enforcement,” Brown said. In addition, money should also be funneled into the health department for chemical dependency treatment and community education. “There’s different areas this needs to be invested in,” Brown said. Brown said he is also pushing for combining medical and recreational marijuana retailers to create a one-stop-shop scenario that would make enforcement simpler. Price Johnson said the state has a history of sunsetting or rolling back tax funding to local governments, including those for alcohol sales and Medicaid reimbursement rates. In response to that, Price Johnson said counties are also advocating for raising the cap on property tax increases. Currently counties can only raise property taxes by 1 percent per year, even as inflation and operating costs increase by 3-5 percent. “If we don’t have the resources locally to (provide services), it’s going to be a big challenge,” Price Johnson said.

Bike shop to keep cyclists spinning By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Mike Beech, a former sheriff’s deputy who has worked on some of the county’s most grizzly crimes, admits his new bike shop in Coupeville will be a change of pace. “Boring is nice sometimes,” Beech said. Beech opened Coupeville Cycle and Sport, a homebased shop on Fort Casey Road, on Saturday. He retired in March after a 22year career in law enforcement. His former employers include the Island County Sheriff’s Department, the Langley Police Department and most recently the U.S. military as a bomb dog handler in Iraq. Beech envisions the shop to offer repair services, refurbished bikes and bike rentals. “Just a local hometown shop,” Beech said. “It’s already been growing pretty well through word of mouth. The cycling crowd is pretty tight knit and word spreads pretty quick.” Beech, an avid bike rider himself, said he’s not “into the speed” part of cycling but more “the enjoyment.” “This has been a dream of his for a number of years and the timing was finally right,” said Beech’s wife, Kelly. Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville

Remember to turn in levy ballots by 8 p.m. Tuesday Ballots for the Coupeville School District’s proposed $5 million capital facilities levy are due next week. The special election is Tuesday, April 28. Ballots must be dropped in a ballot box by 8 p.m. Tuesday or postmarked by the same day. If approved, the new levy will collect $5 million in property tax revenue over three years, starting in 2016.

The levy would cost a homeowner with a $200,000 home about $180 a year in property taxes, according to the school district. Funds from the levy would be go toward upgrades and repairs to school facilities, including to a roof, heating and ventilation systems and other aging infrastructure.

Former sheriff’s deputy Mike Beech stands in his new bike repair and sales shop which opened Saturday in his garage on Fort Casey Road. Chamber of Commerce, said a bike shop is a needed service for the area. “I wish him luck I think that’s a great business to open here,” Eccles said. “There’s a lot of people who have bikes and bring bikes to (Ebey’s) Reserve.” In addition, Eccles said the chamber frequently gets requests about where to rent bicycles and hopes Beech’s new store will fill that need. “It’s a very popular past time here for locals and visitors,” Eccles said. The Town of Coupeville and North Whidbey currently don’t have a bike repair or sales shops, and the closest location is the

Half Link Bicycle Shop in Langley unless cyclists go off-island for services. There is also talk of a Skagit Cycle coming to Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor. Beech said he had originally planned to rent a retail space on Front Street until he heard about the potential Skagit Cycle coming on island. He decided to “put the breaks on” and start his business in a home shop

until he could see how the bike repair market plays out. He said he would still like to find a location downtown in the future. “I think Coupeville will like the stay-local, backyard thing,” Beech said. “I’m not trying to sell you a $3,000 bike, I’m here to fix the one you have.” For more information or to contact www.coupevillecycleandsport.com

Whidbey Island Conservation District has developed a comprehensive survey which will identify island farmers’ needs not currently met by state, county or local organizations. Survey results will be anonymous; no names or geographic regions will be attached to the results in any way. Information gathered will be used to aid island farmers over the next few years, according to the district. A summary of information will be shared with all participants.

Would be great to see multiple candidates run

Megan Hansen Some perspective

Filing Week is fast approaching, and with four positions up for re-election at Town of Coupeville, now is a great opportunity to get involved. Mayor Nancy Conard’s position is up and she’s already announced she will not seek a sixth term. Council seats held by Molly Hughes, Bob Clay and Jackie

Henderson are also up. Clay has already said he won’t seek a fifth term and Hughes has announced she is running for mayor. Henderson said last week she will be running again for her position and Coupeville Art School director Lisa Bernhardt said she will run for either Hughes’ or Clay’s seat. It’d be great to see at least two candidates running for each open position. After all, isn’t that the point of being in a democracy? Conard said in the five times she’s run for mayor, only once did she ever have an opponent. Friendly and healthy competition is a great thing. Having a challenger pushes candidates to step up and really campaign for their strengths, as well as their opinions and ideas about town government. It also gives voters a chance to get involved, ask questions and make an informed decision. Coupeville may be a small town, but serving in an elected position is a big and important job. Who else champions for residents’ concerns about jet noise, reserve guidelines and ongoing island issues like transportation and tourism? In addition to the four town seats, there are two seats open with Coupeville School Board, two with the Port of Coupeville, one with Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue and several openings with Central Whidbey water districts. Filing Week starts Monday, May 11. Candidates can register with the Island County Auditor’s Office. n Megan Hansen is co-editor for The Whidbey Examiner.

Refuse to pass down a planet in peril Editor, It hit the news last week that there is only one remaining male Northern white rhinoceros left in the world. A population that numbered more than 2,000 in 1960 is now down to exactly five. Hippy environmentalists of the 1960s could afford the luxury of sentimentalism toward rhinos and sunshine and trees, but today’s more urgent environmentalism is rooted in the practical and mature recognition that we’re simply running out of time. Meeting our shared responsibility toward other people means proceeding much more lightly on the planet than we have been. Americans first celebrated Earth Day in 1970 after media coverage of a Cuyahoga River fire focused attention on factory dumping of toxic chemicals. The event helped usher in a wave of state and federal legislation such as the Clean Water Act and the creation of the Environmental Protection Administration. These institutions successfully attacked some of America’s worst pollution, and we should be grateful that our

grandparents acted strongly to protect us in these ways. Forward 45 years. The human population has roughly doubled and will increase another 400 in the few minutes you spend reading this. The footprint of each individual has also increased as standards of living rise worldwide. The impacts of today’s 7.3 billion people add up unremittingly, enough that they now match the planet’s capacity to absorb them. The journal Science described the situation in a January paper, which assessed that we have exceeded the earth’s capacity for sustainable living in four of nine important measures, including extinction rate, nitrogen and phosphorous loads on the ocean, deforestation, and atmospheric carbon dioxide level. As a result, today’s world is one with alarm bells going off everywhere. Ocean acidification, dead zones, climate change, groundwater contamination, declining biodiversity: These are preventable problems. Today’s environmentalist answers the alarm bells, because ignoring them means unquestionably reducing the quality of life for our next generation, and that’s not our way. Today’s environmentalist acknowledges that we will choose between a world with rhinos and a world without.

Because our way is to leave things better for the next generation, not worse, I ask you to join me in refusing to pass down a planet in peril. Refuse to ask your kids and grandkids to adapt to a climate that no humans have ever lived in. Take a stand against the carbon pollution that causes ocean acidification. Refuse to accede to irreversible extinctions. Earth Day: It’s not really about the Earth.

Other Moves to showcase dancers’ talent By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Niki Greene, age 14, is brimming with excitement as she talks about her upcoming performance with the Island Dance Performing Team. Greene has been with the school since the age of five; this is her first year on the team, an opportunity she’s had her sights on for over two years. “Everything fell into place,” she said. Greene will be joining fellow Island Dance Performing Team members and guests at the upcoming annual Other Moves dance showcase, which features a variety of dance styles ranging from hip hop to lyrical, jazz and contemporary. Performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium Theater. In addition to it being a venue for community members and Island Dance performers to take to the stage to demonstrate their artistry, the showcase is a major fundraiser for the performing team. Funds raised from the

event will be used to offset the costs of competitions throughout the year. They include travel expenses, entrance fees and costumes. Jamee Pitts, artistic director and choreographer, stressed that the team is less focused on winning competitions and more upon building the dancers’ skill sets and showcasing their teamwork, tenacity and passion. “We aren’t going there and saying, ‘I’m going to win first place; I’m going to win double-platinum,’ ” Pitts said. “We’re going and saying, ‘I’m going to share my gift and my love for dance; and I’m going to share my story with the audience; and I can’t wait to get the judges’ critique to better myself.’ ” The team was created by Susan Vanderwood as a means for intermediate dancers who were not quite ready to join the professional Whidbey Island Dance Theater company to get a little more out of the school, a sort of “next edge,” towards a dance career. Competition was never really the focus, which Pitts says is somewhat unique to Island Dance due to it being home to a school, profession-

Tennis team takes 3 straight in winning week By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Three straight wins and a strong tournament showing by the Coupeville High School tennis team capped a successful week for Wolves spring sports. The tennis team earned a rare win over rival South Whidbey, 3-2, Wednesday, April 15, in Langley; topped conference foe Chimacum/ Port Townsend 6-1 Friday, April 17; and rolled by Lakewood 6-1 in a nonleague match Monday, April 20. At the six-team North Kitsap Invitational Saturday, April 18, Coupeville finished one-two in two of the four divisions. The soccer team played its first-ever Olympic League match and ripped host Chimacum 11-1 Thursday, April 16. The softball team, playing at home, defeated Chimacum 22-21 Thursday, April 16, before losing another thriller 7-6 to Friday Harbor Saturday, April 18. The baseball team took two of three home games, beating Concrete 10-1 Wednesday, April 15, and Chimacum 8-0 Thursday, April 16, before losing 5-3 to Friday Harbor Saturday, April 18. The track team continued to post some of the state’s best 1A relay times at a fiveteam meet in Port Townsend Thursday, April 16.

Tennis on a roll

With the win over the combined team of Chimacum and Port Townsend, Coupeville now has wins over the other two 1A schools in the Olympic League. Before getting back into league action, the Wolves (43) host Friday Harbor at 2:30 p.m. Friday, April 24. In the wins over South Whidbey, Chimacum/Port Townsend, and Lakewood, Jacki Ginnings captured all three first singles matches.

title, and Bailey and Franklin took second doubles over Autio and LeVine.

Soccer wins big

The Wolves and Abraham Leyva Elenes were dominant in the win over Chimacum (0-1, 1-7). Leyva Elenes scored four goals and assisted on four others. JT Quinn added two goals, and Tanner Kircher, William Nelson, Ethan Sparks, Sebastian Davis and Joel Walstad had one each. Nelson and Sparks also recorded assists. The two teams meet again in Coupeville (1-0, 2-7) at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 23.

Softball splits pair

Coupeville, which led 1910 at one point against Chimacum, found itself down 21-19 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Freshman Katrina McGranahan then ripped a bas-

es-clearing double to bring home the win for the Wolves. McGranahan also had another three-run double earlier in the game and two singles. Hailey Hammer added two hits, and Lauren Rose and Tiffany Briscoe slugged doubles. Unlike the Chimacum game, Coupeville couldn’t come back against Friday Harbor. Down 7-2, the Wolves scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and left the tying run stranded at third base. Coupeville (2-0, 3-5) hosts Port Townsend (0-2, 0-5) at 3:45 p.m. Thursday, April 23.

Baseball takes 2 of 3

In the win over Concrete, the Wolves plated seven runs in the second inning on only two hits to roll to victory. Aaron Trumbull was the winning pitcher and added two infield singles. Cameron Toomey-Stout

and Cole Payne each hit tworun singles. The Coupeville-Chimacum game was a contrast in pitchers. While the Cowboys couldn’t find the plate (10 walks), the Wolves’ C.J. Smith had pin-point control. Smith pitched a threehitter and struck out five. He also did not walk a batter; in fact, he never reached three balls on any one hitter. In all, he threw only 76 pitches in the complete game and had seven first-pitch outs. Hunter Smith and Aaron Curtin each had two hits. Friday Harbor scored all of its runs in the fifth inning. Four of the first seven batters walked; the final two forcing in runs. Two errors followed and allowed three runs to score. Coupeville used three pitchers, and two threw well. Curtin worked four shutout innings, striking out seven and allowing two hits. Hunter Smith was perfect through two innings. The Wolves (2-0, 6-5) host Port Townsend (1-1, 1-6) at 3:45 p.m. Thursday, April 23.

Track led by relays

Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Grove and Kirsten Pelroy won the 4x100 relay (52.2); and Etzell, Pelroy, Hurlburt and Makana Stone captured the 4x200 (1:50.82). Stone also finished first in the 100 meters (13.55) and second in the 400 (59.97). Skyler Lawrence was second in the shot put (29-05), as was Allison Wenzel in the javelin (78-03). A pair of fourth-place finishes topped the boys afternoon, Jesse Hester in the 110 hurdles (20.66) and the 4x100 relay team of Jared Helmstadter, Dalton Martin, Lathom Kelley and Jacob Smith (48.86). Coupeville, North Mason and Kingston meet at Sequim at 3:15 p.m. Thursday, April 23.

Mann said the best place to view the regatta is from the dock. Practice races will be held Friday, then the competition runs from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Sunday. Teams from Oak Harbor, the San Juan Islands, Anacortes, Bellingham, Port Townsend, North Kitsap, Central Kitsap, Seattle, Woodinville, Ballard, Olympia, Gig Harbor, Bainbridge Island, Portland and Hood River are expected to participate; they will stay at Camp Casey during the weekend. The NWISA championship is the final fleet race of

the season for the district (one of seven in the United States). The winners of the district regatta will qualify to represent the NWISA at the national championships at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Mary., May 8-10. This weekend, each school will have two, two-man (skipper and crew) boats, A division and B division. The A division pair will race twice, and then the B division will sail the next two races. Rotations continue throughout the regatta; the two boats’ scores are combined to determine the team score. Varsity and junior varsity teams will be racing simultaneously during the regatta.
