Port, WSU talk farm possibilities By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
Rumors about a future partnership between the Port of Coupeville and Washington State University may turn out to be true. After being directly questioned by a member of the public, port Commissioner Marshall Bronson confirmed at a meeting last week that he’s been having ongoing conversations about the possibility of WSU coming to the port-owned Greenbank Farm. He also said WSU would like to hold a public meeting about the idea. Currently, the Greenbank Farm Management Group holds leases at the farm, but a new contract is being reviewed by attorneys and should be approved next month. Under the new contract, the port will take over leases at the start of the new year. The management group will still

Port project prompts levy discussion By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
News of another big-ticket project coming down the pike for the money-strapped Port of Coupeville prompted brief discussion last week of running a levy lift in the near future. No details have been ironed out, but the commissioners will likely continue talking about the issue in months to come. Executive Director David Day told commissioners the wharf’s fire suppression system is starting to show signs of aging with leaks and corrosion. The estimated cost for replacing the system is upwards of $150,000. “Without a fire suppression system, nothing happens out there — no tenants, no fuel — people might be able to walk out there,” Day said. “There are no ways of getting around that. We’re going to have to address this if the community wants that building.”

weaving years of experience By Janis Reid Staff Reporter
Thirty is an important number for Madeline van der Hoogt these days. She has more than 30 looms in her home used for a weaving school she has run for 30 years — a career she hopes to continue for 30 more. “I think it’s challenging but also rewarding,” van der Hoogt said of her career in weaving. “It’s intellectually challenging in so many ways.” The weaving expert had more than a dozen students hailing from all over the country in her home studio last week, learning the artistry and technicalities of weaving on a loom. Chris Covey, from Bothel, came to weaving school because she purchased a loom from a friend who had been sitting in her living room unused. The five-day course has allowed her “good concentration time” to really absorb the workings of a loom. “My son bought me a ‘how to weave’ book,” Covey said. “It was like reading a foreign language.” Van der Hoogt teaches up to 14 people in eight week-long courses per year, four beginner courses and four intermediate courses. There is always a waiting list, van der
Hoogt said. “I keep growing,” van der Hoogt said. “I kept buying more looms and needed to have an excuse for it.” In between courses, van der Hoogt works as the editor-in-chief of Handwoven magazine, which publishes every two months. Describing herself as a “back-to-the-land farmer-hippie” in the 1970s, van der Hoogt learned how to weave in Guatamala on a back strap loom, with which a weaver leans back and uses his or her body weight to create tension on the loom. She started weaving in 1981 and by 1984 she was teaching. Originally from Missouri, van der Hoogt moved her weaving school to Coupeville because of the now-defunct Fiber Forum held at Fort Casey, a large event at which she taught until it ended its run in the 1990s. The fabrics and textiles that emerge from
the looms are largely experimental and educational, but once trained, her students can make anything from clothing to kitchen towels to decorative wall coverings. “There are a variety of things,” van der Hoogt said. In her courses, van der Hoogt focuses on weaving basics and getting people comfortable with using all the working parts of the loom. The basic purpose of any loom is to hold the vertical threads under tension to facilitate the function is basically the same. Last week, van der Hoogt told a group of students that because the loom can engage the entire body “there’s a mind-body thing that happens” that can be very relaxing and rewarding.

Greenbank to sell wine shop By Megan Hansen Co-Editor
The Greenbank Farm Management Group is looking for interested parties to take over its wine shop. “It’s hard at this stage of the game,” said Judy Feldman, executive director of the management group. “It’s hard to get volunteers. We think someone who owns the shop will have more time to devote to it.” Feldman said the management group decided to sell
Custom Engraving
the business so it can devote its time and energy into other aspects of the farm. The wine shop, also known as the farm shop, serves as the gateway/welcome center for the Greenbank Farm. Feldman said it’s important to the management group to find someone who is willing to learn some of the history of the farm and wants to be a part of the community that has been created. “It needs to be somebody who understands this place,” Feldman said. “They have to work with the synergy of the farm. They have to want to be here as a part of the farm.” And, of course, she hopes the buyer will continue on the tradition of selling loganberry wine. “It’s really a legacy from when Chateau Ste. Michelle owned the farm,” Feldman said. “The community has come to expect to get loganberry wine here and that they
can come taste the wine.” The management group has not named a price for the cost of the business. Feldman said that depends on such issues as whether the buyer wants to retain the inventory or needs storage space. The wine shop is 350 square feet and there is an additional 154 square-feet storage space available. Feldman said any buyer would be entering into a lease agreement with the Port of Coupeville. The management group currently holds leases at the farm, but per a new contract the port will be taking over leases on Jan. 1, 2016. “We anticipate keeping everything as is,” Feldman said. “We hope for a smooth transition and that visitor experience.” Anyone interested in learning more about this opportunity, may contact Feldman at 320-222-3151 or email director@greenbankfarm. com

The Coupeville Chamber of Commerce is exploring ways to better serve its membership. Starting next month, the chamber will be hosting quarterly roundtable events for its nonprofit members. The addition is a response to member requests, said Lynda Eccles, executive director for the chamber. “It’s about getting nonprofits around the table to figure out if there is a way to work together,” she said. “And how can we help them.” The first roundtable will be 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 23 at the Coupeville Library. Eccles said she hopes the forums will give nonprofit groups the opportunity to discuss sharing resources such as equip-
ment and volunteers. A representative from United Way will also be participating. United Way is an amazing resource, Eccles said. “People are getting older and we need that new blood,” she said. “Hopefully talking about issues and concerns will help.” The nonprofit roundtables are just one of the ways the chamber is looking to further support its membership. Eccles said the chamber board is also looking at holding roundtables for its business members and finding ways to connect its membership. A start date for those meetings is still in the works. For those interested in attending the nonprofit roundtable, Eccles asks groups RSVP to the chamber at 360-678-5434.
Transit seeks feedback on the effects of 411 changes By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor
As of Aug. 3, the wheels on the 411 bus will no longer go ‘round and ‘round. And Island Transit officials want to know what riders and everyone else thinks about it. Beginning next Monday, staff members are holding a series of community meetings to let people know what’s happening and gather public input on both of the 411 routes. “We just want the feedback,” said interim Director Ken Graska. “We want to know whether people think it’s a valuable service or not.” IT staff members will also discuss possible alternatives, such as van pools
VING R E S NOW COUNTY D ISLAN
and car pools, he said. The 411W is the only bus route that takes people off Whidbey Island. It currently runs from Oak Harbor to March Point near Anacortes. It is scheduled to end service Aug. 2 because state funding dried up. The 411C, also called the Everett Connector, was canceled last year. It connected Camano Island with Everett. The state Legislature approved $1 million in the 2015-17 biennial budget to reinstate the route, but the law requires Island Transit to charge fares on all of its buses to get the funding. Such a change would be many months away, if it happens at all.
Meetings on Route 411 The following are scheduled for Island Transit’s community meetings regarding the upcoming change in the 411W/C service: Oak Harbor Library, Monday, June 22, 5–6 p.m. Freeland Library, Thursday, June 25, 5–6 p.m. Camano Multipurpose Room, Wednesday, July 8, 6-7 p.m. Camano Multipurpose Room, Monday, July 13, 4–5 p.m. Oak Harbor Library, Wednesday, July 15, 6–7 p.m.

No more double duty for commissioner Steve Hutchinson hangs up firefighting helmet after 27 years as Central Whidbey Fire volunteer By Ron Newberry Staff reporter
It’s only been two months since Steve Hutchinson hung up his lieutenant’s helmet with Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue. And already, he misses it. “It’s real tempting to get back into it,” he said over coffee this week at Coupeville Coffee & Bistro. “But I’m so busy now.” Hutchinson served 27 years as a volunteer firefighter in Coupeville, starting at the time when the department was all volunteer. However, at age 62, with his first grandchild on the scene, life to enjoy and various demands on his time, Hutchinson decided to focus his energies serving the fire department exclusively as a commissioner. He retired in April as the department’s only volunteer lieutenant, a move that wasn’t formally recognized until cake was served at the monthly commissioners meeting last week. Consistent with his busy schedule, Hutchinson wore a Scottish kilt to the meeting. After the meeting, he had to rush to catch the Clinton ferry to play the bass drum in a pipe band at an elementary school graduation reception near Bellevue. “I started out playing the pipes,” said Hutchinson, who hails from Scottish and Irish ancestry. “Now when I get them out to play, everybody

Navy, he continued to fly for private airlines for 31 years until taking a medical leave in 2013 to deal with some health issues. He’s worked to improve his health and cut back on some of his commitments, firefighting among them. He has been doubling up as fire commissioner and acting lieutenant at Station 51 in Coupeville since last summer when he was selected to serve the rest of the term of commissioner after the retirement of Tom Smith. “It’s a hard decision to make,” said Cheryl Engle, a fire commissioner for 24
years. “It’s a real obligation to volunteer with how much that it is, and with the commissioner, there’s work with that, too. So one kind of had to go.” Engle said she’s happy that Hutchinson is sticking to the commissioner’s seat along side her and Paul Messner. “He’s a good fit,” she said. “Steve takes the whole thing very seriously.” Hutchinson said he’s glad he still gets to be part of what he calls a “great organization” and his impact will still be felt. “As commissioners, we
are the interface between the public and the fire department,” he said. “The public trusts us with their tax dollars.” He said commissioners are responsible for watching department spending and also for setting department policy. “I can still be involved in the fire department but in a different role,” Hutchinson said. Marvin Raavel, a 61-yearold volunteer firefighter, said Hutchinson’s influence on his 15 years in the department has been invaluable. His confidence has soared with the aid of Hutchinson and others. “He was always willing to come over and show us guys fresh out of the academy what not to do,” Raavel said. “Everybody wants to tell you what to do. He’d come along with this other perspective: ‘Let me show you what not to do because it hurts too much if you do’ and it kind of stuck with me that he was willing to lighten the atmosphere. “Kind of like what he does at board meetings.” At last week’s commissioners meeting, a screen showed still images of Hutchinson in his early years with the department. “I don’t know where you got those,” Hutchinson said. His wife of 39 years, Alana, a paramedic at Whidbey General Hospital, also attended the meeting.

“It was the quickest 27 years of my life,” Hutchinson said. “It’s great. I had the opportunity to serve with some great people and experience some great things. I’m glad I’m in a position as a commissioner to still be a part of it.”

Levy is the best outlook for our struggling port No one disputes that the Coupeville Wharf is an iconic feature of Central Whidbey. The Wharf is a public asset, protected and maintained by the Port of Coupeville, a public agency. The key word is “public.” If we want to keep this 110 year-old piece of Coupeville history, we as the public need to step up and support it. Currently, the port collects 17 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. That brings in roughly $350,000 a year in tax revenue. With two aging historic and iconic structures in the wharf and Greenbank Farm, the port is trying to do a lot with virtually nothing. Legally, commissioners could ask for up to 45 cents for up to five years. Most everyone enjoys a stroll out onto the water, a meal at Kim’s Cafe or a coffee from Local Grown. Tourists enjoy picking up Coupeville and island memorabilia from the Harbor Store while taking in the scenic beauty of Penn Cove. Boat enthusiasts know they can swing by along a trip through Saratoga Passage for fuel or other boating services. The dock at the wharf is usually packed during peak tourist season. Port commissioners should look at how the Coupeville School District recently passed its $5-million capital facilities levy to make needed repairs to its aging facilities. Like our school district, the community needs to invest in its assets. And the Coupeville Wharf is an asset. Hopefully, Island County commissioners will approve the port’s request of $50,000 in rural economic development funds to conduct an engineering study at the wharf to assess its structural needs. Once port officials have a better idea of what’s going on under the water, they should create a plan and propose it to the public. And the public should seriously consider the needs of the port in maintaining not their wharf, but the community’s wharf.

Wants Growlers to move, not Navy base Editor, It’s time for someone to speak up for the people who live around Penn Cove. My grandfather bought more than 200 acres in the 1930s on Madrona Way at the end of the cove because of the beauty, peace and quiet. If the planes were the same as when we moved here, then we wouldn’t be having this problem. When our family settled here, there were no obnoxious fireworks or reverberating jet aircraft overhead. The waters of Penn Cover were not on the flightpath – never have been — until now. The jets are flying up and down Penn Cove to and from Oak Harbor. I don’t know why the Town of Coupeville or business owners don’t speak up before it’s too late. The new Growlers are not just bothering those who live near Outlying Field Coupeville – but the whole Town of Coupeville, both sides of Penn Cove and West Beach and Fort Ebey. That’s why we’d like to understand what the Navy is doing? Where, when? How many? If Island County Commissioner Jill
Johnson really cared about us and our service men and women, she would know that the Growler’s noise causes panic attacks among many of our returned service personnel. This is not the sound of freedom. If the Navy would just compromise, instead of just wanting their way 100 percent of the time. Move the jets somewhere they won’t cause all of us harm. The jets are louder – something must change. Things are very different now. Please, for the last time, stop saying that we want to close the base — we do not! I am not going to move. We were here first.

HUB offers seniors meals and more By Kate Daniel Staff Reporter
For Coupeville seniors like Eileen Billings, attending monthly bingo games at Coupeville’s HUB for seniors is more than an opportunity to score an extra dollar or two. It’s a chance to socialize, enjoy a warm meal with friends and, thanks to the presence of a new information services table, a chance to connect with valuable resources. Despite macular degeneration, Billings said she’s had no trouble scoring a win three of the four times she’s gone to Wednesday afternoon Bingo at the Coupeville United Methodist Church. But she is aware of the effect her loss of sight may have on other aspects of her life, and said she was pleased to take advantage of the information table and senior services case manager for resources. Billings and her son, who was visiting from Portland, spoke with the case manager on site about caregiver support. Billings said she had used those services before her husband’s death six years ago, and had found it to be very helpful. In-home care is just one of the several services seniors have the chance to inquire about before Wednesday bingo. Other topics included Medicare, affordable housing and general resources for seniors. Glenda Cantrell, resource coordinator at the Coupeville HUB for Seniors, said the caseworkers answer

Wednesday afternoon Bingo at the Coupeville United Methodist Church is popular with the senior crowd. The game is part of the HUB program. questions about “anything and everything” senior-related. “They’re just a great resource that someone can come and say’I have medicare issues’, or ‘I need a place to live,’ or ‘I need transportation,’” said Cantrell. “They have excellent resources to connect with that kind of thing.” The caseworkers are present from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. Senior services have been a longstanding presence in Island County, but May was the first month representatives established a table at the HUB. The HUB also hosts a variety of free programs, such as music performances
and educational and presentations from community members. Cantrell said there are typically about 18 people present at the programs, though sometimes there are up to 40. The most popular events are the musical performances, according to Cantrell. But others, including presentations on caregiver support, hearing health and tax assistance, have drawn substantial crowds. Upcoming events at the HUB include a presentation June 10 by Steve and Eric Harada, physical therapists; a June 17 musical performance by Broken Banjos; and the regular SAIL exercise program, which occurs
on the first and third Fridays of each month. Cantrell said that there are usually about 20 seniors who join in weekly Wednesday meals. The meals cost a suggested donation of $4, though no one is turned away. The Town of Coupeville cooperated with Senior Services and Coupeville United Methodist Church to provide the HUB Senior Services program, which began in the fall. The church has been serving weekly meals since 2011, and has been hosting Bingo since 2012. “This is a great place to meet people and be part of the community,” Billings said.

Liz was born Marguerite Elizabeth Dixon in Fort Scott, Kan., on Aug. 9, 1920, and died May 30, 2015, at the Wesley Homes Health Center in Des Moines, Wash. She is survived by her children, Patricia Ross (Steve) of Olympia, and Kenneth Waln (Maureen Conard) of Coupeville; sister Martha Jean Dixon of Tribune, Kan., and brother James Dixon of Vancouver, Wash. Liz’s husband of 58 years, Rev. Alfred J. Waln, predeceased her on March 21, 2005. Liz attended junior college in Fort Scott, Kan., where she met her first husband, Lloyd Wood. They were married while he was on leave from the military during World War II. Woody died in France soon after D-Day and received the Silver Star for his actions. Liz then went to Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kan., where she met Al. They were married on August 11, 1946, in Holyoke,
Colo. Al and Liz served American Baptist churches in Shenandoah, Clinton and Oelwein, Iowa; and Methodist churches in Ritzville, White Salmon and Coupeville. After 19 years as a minister in Coupeville, Al retired from the ministry and they moved to a house on Crockett Lake. In 1997 they moved to Wesley Homes in Des Moines. Liz loved books, gardening, theater and ballet; but she especially loved music of all kinds. She played the cello from a young age until she had shoulder surgery in 1969. After moving to Wesley Homes, she volunteered for many committees and activities, and loved the people and sense of community there. Liz had a strong faith and was blessed with the ability to feel grateful every day for whatever situation she was in and whatever life brought to her. In the last year or so of her life, she lived in the Health Center at Wesley Homes. She loved all of the people who took such good care of her there, and they loved her in return. There will be a memorial service celebrating Liz’s life at 2 p.m., June 19, in Logan Hall at Wesley Homes Gardens Apartments, 815 S. 216th Street, Des Moines, Wash. 98198.

CHS spring athletes receive letters, awards By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
Coupeville High School closed out the 2014-15 athletic year by honoring its spring athletes with varsity letters and team awards. Nineteen Wolves also received Olympic League recognition when conference awards were announced recently.
Baseball
Four Coupeville baseball players earned first-team, allconference honors. Senior Aaron Curtin and junior C.J. Smith were selected first-team pitchers, senior Josh Bayne was named to the first-team outfield and junior Cole Payne was tabbed the first team’s utility player. Bayne was a second-team choice and Smith honorable mention last season when the Wolves played in the Cascade League. Curtin, Bayne and senior Aaron Trumbull were named team captains at Coupeville’s awards banquet; they also received four-year participation awards. Other letter winners were seniors Carson Risner and Kyle Bodamer; juniors Smith and Payne; sophomores Gabe Wynn and Clay Reilly; and freshman Hunter Smith.
Willie Smith, who coached the Wolves for 19 years, also announced he is retiring from coaching.
Softball
Like the baseball squad, the Coupeville softball team placed four players on the Olympic League first team. In addition, 10 players received varsity letters and five earned special awards at the team’s banquet. Senior Hailey Hammer paced the awards parade by being named the team’s Most Valuable Player and Best Offensive Player and the league’s top third baseman.

The three were joined by 17 others who received varsity letters from coach Kyle Nelson: seniors Colin Belliveau, Josh Datin, Ryan Freeman, Keegan Korteum, Oscar Liquidano, Isaac Vargas, Joel Walstad and Aaron Wright; juniors Zane Bundy, Taylor Chiles, Garrett Compton, Sebastian Davis, Connor McCormick, Cody Menges and Loren Nelson; sophomore Uriel Liquidano; and freshman Ethan Spark.

Managers were Joseph Wedekind and John McClarin. The Luvera sisters were awarded four-year certificates. Team captains were Ginnings, Thorne, Bailey and Trujillo.

Ginnings, the Olympic League 1A singles champion, received the Most Valuable Player Award, Deasy was named Most Inspirational, Franklin was selected Most Improved and Bailey earned the Coach’s Award. Coupeville competes in boys tennis in the fall, but the state tournament is held in the spring. Curtin, after placing second in the district finals, finished eighth at the state singles tournament.
Track
The track and field team, coached by Randy King, held its awards banquet Wednesday, June 17, and, therefore, team awards were not available at press time. League honors went to junior Makana Stone, who was
the conference’s 1A 200 and 400 meters champion; sophomore Lauren Grove, league champion in the triple jump; sophomore Skyler Lawrence, league champion in the shot put; freshman Lauren Bayne, league champion in the high jump; junior Sylvia Hurlburt, league champion in the 100; junior Dalton Martin, league champion in the discus; and Stone, Hurlburt, Grove and senior Marisa Etzell, league champions in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. The 4x200 relay team placed third at the state meetin a school record 1:46.64. Stone was fourth in the state 400 (59.01), Martin was fifth in the discus (147) and Law-
rence was 16th in the shot put (28-02.5).
Golf
Coupeville High School had only one golfer this spring, but that one was one of the best. Senior Christine Fields polished off an outstanding career by winning the Olympic League and District 3 1A championship tournaments and placed sixth in the state tournament. Fields qualified for state all four years, finishing fifth as a junior, eighth as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore. Her fifth place is the highest ever for a Coupeville golfer.

No shortage of horsepower at Coupeville Lions garage sale Four barns filled with donated items for sale, including rider mowers, wood chipper, boat By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter
Joe Hillers likes to tinker with motors and small engines. And that’s a good thing for the Coupeville Lions Club. Hillers grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa and spent 35 years as a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Washington State University. Fixing mechanical things comes naturally for Hillers, which benefits the Lions Club this time of year. Lots of motor-powered
items will be for sale when the widely anticipated 36th Coupeville Lions Garage Sale takes place June 27-28 at Coupeville Elementary School. Not all of those items come to the Lions in working order. That’s where Hillers comes in. “I want it to run,” Hillers said. Four barns full of donated items will be transferred to the elementary school by a truck caravan in time for a public preview from noon until 6 p.m. Friday, June 26. The Coupeville Lions Garage Sale, in its 36th year, goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday. More than 100 volunteers make the massive garage sale possible, including help from non-Lions members in the community and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, said Julian Sayers, the
event’s chairperson. “It’s really a bonafide community wide or regional event,” he said. So many items came in that the Lions had to stop accepting donations for the second year in a row because they ran out of space to store them, Sayers said. “We filled up,” Sayers said, referring to four barns where items are stored. Donations this year include two riding lawn mowers, an electric table saw, wood chipper, drill press, several lawn mowers, a boat with a trailer and a gas-powered generator. There’s also a 1992 silver Honda Accord station wagon. “It was really babied over its entire lifetime,” Sayers said. Money raised from the garage sale goes back into the community through various causes the Lions Club supports.

Concerns mount over critical areas ordinance update By Janis Reid Staff Reporter
The long and drawn-out process of updating the county’s critical areas ordinance continues as the county outlined yet another plan last week. The state hearing examiner rejected a quick-fix ordinance protecting wetlands and other critical areas last month, a process that has been going on for years. “Every time we start getting going, we have to stop and it’s frustrating,” said Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson. County leaders are frustrated that they can’t seem to get an ordinance past
the hearings board. The Whidbey Environmental Action Network has continually challenged the county’s draft ordinances and won. Most recently the Growth Management Hearings Board rejected a recent “band-aid” ordinance simply because it was designated as temporary. “The band-aid solution was the right one for the county,” Johnson said. “This was never meant to be a permanent solution. We can make it permanent but it takes time.” Under the latest plan, staff is recommending a five-step plan that will include an “existing conditions” report, establishing guidelines for using the best available science,
creating an assessment of the county’s needs and where gaps exist, and then drafting both comprehensive plan revisions and development code revisions. The timeline calls for all five steps to be completed by April of next year. The county planning department is down two staffers and are in the midst of updating its comprehensive plan as required every eight years. As a result, some of
erly address the environmental protections. “We have a saying around here,” said Marianne Edain of WEAN. “The county says, ‘Too soon, too soon’ and then ‘oops, too late.’ That’s exactly what we are seeing again. I get really tired of saying I told you so.” The county states that the intent of the latest plan is to establish a comprehensive approach to protecting critical areas, but WEAN believes
the county continues to skirt the intent of the GMA. One main sticking point in the ordinance lays between maintaining farmers abilities to maintain irrigation ditches and ponds, while still protecting the associated wetlands and salmon habitats. “It doesn’t matter how much time they have,” Edain said. “They don’t want the ordinance to go where we think it needs to go.”

the more complex issues may need to be shelved for a future discussion, Johnson said. “It’s a lack of people and it’s a lack of time,” Johnson said. WEAN representatives say the county could have avoided the extra work if they had done it right in the first place. Edain has cautioned county commissioners at public meetings over the last year in delaying decisions and warned that they have not allotted enough time to prop-

LEASES: Leases uncertainty, WSU talks raise anxiety with tenants from page 1 serve as property managers and work in collaboration with the port as it assumes more responsibilities at the farm. Rumblings about the possibility of the university moving to the farm have been a source of anxiety for tenants, who currently have monthto-month leases. “We’ve been hearing the rumors for almost three years now,” said Judy Feldman, executive director for the Greenbank Farm Management Group. “There are just a lot of questions the port and community needs to address. Any significant shift in tenants has impacts on the remaining tenants.” PORT COMMISSIONER Mike Diamanti said he only learned Bronson was having the conversations about a week before the meeting, but he was happy to hear a public meeting was being planned. “I’m very enthusiastic about that,” Diamanti said. “I’ve been lobbying for that for ages. WSU has been very vague about what they want.” Public knowledge of the idea of having WSU at the farm first appeared last fall when the port was seeking requests for proposals for management of the farm. At that time, WSU officials expressed interest in a partnership but said it could not serve as manager of the farm. David Day, executive director of the port, confirmed this week that conversations began again in February or March of this year.
Whidbey Island Worship Guide
He also confirmed there is no proposed plan at this time and everything is just an ongoing conversation, but that both parties have expressed interest in seeing if there’s a possibility there. “The port is just looking at options and I believe we’d be stupid not to,” Day said. “Do we have a spot at Greenbank Farm for WSU? We don’t have an answer.” ISLAND COUNTY COMMISSIONER Helen Price Johnson serves on an advisory board for WSU North Puget Sound in Everett and has been involved in discussions about bringing additional WSU programs to Whidbey Island. “WSU is interested in reaching out beyond the Everett Campus with the agriculture and Farm to Table Hospitality courses and could be interested in bringing those resources to Whidbey Island,” Price Johnson said. “I felt it important as a local representative on the advisory council to let folks within our county know of this opportunity. I reached out to the Port of Coupeville, the Island County Economic Development Council, Port of South Whidbey and Goosefoot to consider the possibilities of attracting WSU to Whidbey.” Price Johnson said it’s still unknown if it’s even feasible to have WSU at the farm and that the university is waiting to see if the state Legislature is going to fund new degree programs, including degrees in agriculture. “It would be great if the state Legislature funds these programs,” she said. “I just see wonderful opportunities.”

The Port of Coupeville and Washington State University are having ongoing discussions about the possibility of the university have some kind of presence at the Greenbank Farm. Price Johnson said to discuss specific plans publicly when there are so many working parts still unknown would be premature. “I know that’s created some anxiety for tenants,” she said. “But they are tenants in a public facility and the process will be public. Regardless of the outcome of the Greenbank Farm discussions, having WSU in our backyard is not only great for our residents through providing educational options; it is highly valuable through the collaborative expansion of economic development activities, technology transfer and creative partnerships.”

THE MANAGEMENT GROUP currently leases 10 acres at the farm for its Organic Farm School. Feldman said while she’s not opposed to the idea of WSU coming to the farm, the commissioners need to think about whether or not the farm is equipped to accommodate a larger organization. She said there might be five more acres available for agriculture and additional space for hay and livestock. But she said she’s concerned the farm might not be able to supply the needed water and storage. Day said he could imagine a situation where WSU and the Organic Farm School
work in collaboration and he could see how WSU could potentially bring students to the school. He said he sees a lot of possibilities with the university coming to the farm, including increased opportunities in bringing visitors from off island. “It could be amazing,” Day said. THEN THERE’S also the question of where at the farm WSU could go. Price Johnson said everything is still unknown, even if WSU needs office space at the farm. If office space were needed, Diamanti said the

only workable space would be the three gallery spaces in Barn C. The only lease holder that isn’t currently month-tomonth is the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, which hold a lease on the second floor of Barn C. That lease ends in April 2016, Feldman said. While no official plan has been presented, Feldman said she is happy a public meeting is being discussed and hopes it will provide needed information to the tenants and Greenbank Farm community. “There’s something very special about the farm being publicly owned and run by a nonprofit,” Feldman said. “We think there’s a synergy here and we hope they recognize that. “This is a special place and its deserves a little bit of respect and a whole lot of care.”

PORT: Tight funds prompt levy talk from page 1 This latest project is just one of many the port has had to deal with in recent years. “This is what the port does week after week,” said Commissioner Mike Diamanti. “It’s something we’ll have to grapple with. We’re faced with infrastructure issues and compliance. We need to look at a levy lid lift — something.” The Port of Coupeville currently collects 0.17 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. The homeowner of a $300,000 home in the district currently pay about $51 to the port. Tax revenue totals about $350,000, Day said. Of those funds, $106,000 goes to pay the bond for the Greenbank
Farm. That leaves roughly $250,000 for the port to maintain and operate both the wharf and farm. With both being iconic and historic Whidbey structures, the port is faced with ongoing maintenance and limited funds. Several projects were accomplished in the last couple of years with the help of proceeds from the sale conservation easement at the farm; the district also applied for rural economic development funds, known as “.09 funds,” through the county. The port is sitting on $180,000 of conservations easement funds, but Day said the port uses that money as leverage to secure the .09 funds. Day submitted a proposal
in hopes of securing an additional $50,000 in .09 funds for an engineering study on the wharf’s substructure. The application was approved by the Council of Governments and will next be presented to Island County Commissioners for approval. Day said the study would look at the wharf’s 265 pilings, piling caps and joists. “We know there are pilings that aren’t there anymore,” he said. “The west side of the building is bowing out. A lot of what’s happening to the building is a symptom from below.” Day said he is hoping the study will shed light on what exactly is happening underneath the wharf. “We know there are at least 20-25 pilings that need

serious repair or replacement,” Day said. To his knowledge, this proposed study may be the

first ever for the 110 year-old wharf. Some of the pilings under the wharf may be original. When looking underneath, spikes from former pilings can be seen. Years of patches to deal with rotting wood, deteriorating ocean life and settling lead to some concern for the port. All of the projects and maintenance done above mean nothing if wharf doesn’t have a secure foundation. And it may be a costly fix. “We want to find the most
cost effective and sensible way to keep the wharf standing,” Day said. Repairing the pilings, adding a fire suppression system and a whole list of other maintenance needs plague the port everyday, officials say. Legally, the port could propose a levy of up to 0.45 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value for up to five years. “I think that’s something for the port to consider,” Day said. “I think we have a valid story to tell our constituents.”
