New coffee shop owners no strangers to Coupeville By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Megan Hansen photo

David and Pat Howell have returned to Coupeville after 23 years and are the new owners of Local Grown.

After 23 years away from Coupeville, former Concerts on the Cove founders David and Pat Howell returned this month with plans for getting back involved with the community. The couple, who lived in Coupeville originally from 1986-1993, took over ownership of Local Grown, a coffee shop located on the Coupeville Wharf. “We’ve been after William (Bell) for five years to sell,” David Howell said. “We wanted to come back to Coupeville and had the experience.

“It was a good way and opportunity for us to come back.” Their time away was spent mostly around Oregon on various ventures, including community theater, doctoral studies and a business venture into the coffee shop industry. The Howells bought an unsuccessful coffee shop in Willamina, Ore., rebuilt and renamed it “Fat Cat” and within five years it became a successful business venture. During their time in Coupeville, the couple was active in all kinds of things, Pat Howell said. The couple owned and operated The

Victorian, a Bed and Breakfast located where Pra Nakorn is now located on South Main Street. David, a former opera singer, served as part-time manager of Whidbey Playhouse. The couple co-wrote and starred in a play with Trudy Sundberg during that time. David was also an original founder of a men’s singing group, which is now known as the Shifty Sailors. Pat served as chair on the Trust Board for Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve and on the Coupeville Planning Commission.

Show of gratitude Coupeville man visits crew that saved his life

By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

The likelihood of this sort of reunion seemed improbable at best. Arthur Foley walked up to firefighters and other emergency services personnel wearing a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and a warm smile. He extended a hand, then gently wrapped each of the individuals in an embrace. He would have hugged tighter except for some tenderness in his ribs, a lingering reminder of an unforgettable day that he simply can’t remember. “It’s a miracle to be here,” he said. “It really is.” Foley’s appearance in front of Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue’s Station 53 on Race Road in Coupeville last week defied the odds. Only 10 days earlier, he was found lying on his back in the street in his Admiral’s Cove neighborhood with no signs of life, a result of a cardiac event. Central Whidbey Fire arrived on the scene to find Foley with no pulse and not breathing. Through a collaboration of life-saving efforts between fire department personnel and Whidbey General Hospital paramedics, Foley was revived and taken to the hospital with a fighting chance for survival. He was transferred to Providence Region-

Foley suffered cardiac arrest. al Medical Center in Everett, where he was hooked up to life support systems and stayed for nearly a week. Foley, 61, had suffered a full cardiac arrest the morning of June 14, his wife, Elaina Foley, was told. “The doctor said normally people don’t go through that and walk out of the hospital,” she said. But Foley did, a testament to modern medicine and evolving and improved lifesaving tactics. And perhaps also a little luck.

“I feel blessed,” Foley said. It took Central Whidbey Fire about six minutes to reach the scene and start Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, or CPR, and other

advanced life-support efforts, said Capt. Jerry Helm.

Dry weather worries some Coupeville farmers

By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

Georgie Smith pulls her truck up to a patch of land and surveys a field through her window. What normally would be a lush display of green row crops this time of year instead is a lot of brown dirt and scattered remnants of a costly crop failure. “This is my bean field,” Smith said. “It’s pretty sad.” Smith is like every farmer on the fertile soil of Ebey’s Prairie on Whidbey Island coping with an unusually dry stretch of weather this year. The months of May and June have produced little rainfall through Central, which has reduced yields and left some dry land farmers that rely on rain such as Smith scrambling for creative ways to irrigate their crops. She said she’s spent about $2,500 more on drip hose this year than in typical years. But that didn’t help her Rockwell Bean crop that she planted in late May that depended on help from the sky to keep the seedlings moist. The lack of water cost her about 80 percent of the

heirloom bean plants, which she was planning to replant. A fungal disease known as rust hurt the size of her garlic, another one of her Willowood Farm staples. “We’re going to take a financial hit, that’s for sure,” Smith said, guessing the losses in sales could be $30,000-$40,000. “I do grow a lot of crops. Hopefully, it will even out.” Smith’s farm includes a small pond that collects rainwater and is used for irrigation. Wilbur and Julieanna Purdue of Prairie Bottom Farm, also on the prairie, use water collected from a series of rain barrels but this year resorted to tapping into their water from the Town of Coupeville. “We’re trying something we’ve never done with drip tape,” Wilbur Purdue said. “Every year is a different challenge. This year it’s a dry challenge.” The Purdues are taking advantage of the warm weather by trying out crops that favor drier conditions. Most of Smith’s crops also are benefitting from the extra sun. Dale Sherman of Sherman’s Pioneer Farm Produce has no complaints so

Prairie Bottom Farm’s Wilbur Bishop said his farm uses rain barrels as part of its irrigation process, but did resort to using Town of Coupeville water through drip lines this summer. far. “Weatherwise, I’m probably one of the only farmers over here that’s thinking this is pretty cool because my squash and my pumpkins

are just growing like wildfire,” he said. Still, Sherman knows that prolonged dryness could have adverse effects and realizes the traditional warmer months are yet to come. Rainfall in Coupeville was .23 inches in May and .53 inches in June, according to readings taken by the town’s public works department. The warm weather resulted in earlier cuttings of hay crops. But earlier doesn’t always mean better. “We’ve seen a reduction in yield because of dry conditions,” said Central Whidbey farmer Don Sherman.

The dry weather also has caused strawberry and blueberry season to arrive a few weeks earlier than usual. In the case of Bell’s Farm, a strawberry season that traditionally lasts through the Fourth of July holiday weekend is already done for the season. The strawberry and vegetable farm opened for the you-pick season on May 28, the earliest that farm coowner Frank Mueller can remember since the 1970s. It’s been a strange year for growers with a mixture of favorable and poor results. “This is getting to be a serious situation for farm-

ers,” said Karen Bishop of the Whidbey Conservation District. “The vegetable row croppers who are very dependent on interspersed summer rains, especially in June, are scrambling for water. They do consecutive plantings of crops, especially greens — lettuce, spinach — to provide a consistent supply for consumers. Germination is a real problem with such sparse soil moisture.” As most farmers, Smith did her homework by checking the seasonal forecasts. “I looked at the numbers,” she said. “I wasn’t imagining this. It is really dry. But what can you do? You keep going and hope next year is better. It’s what farmers do. We’re the ultimate gamblers.”

Items go quick at Lions’ garage sale By Kate Daniel Staff Reporter

The energy was electric Saturday morning as hundreds crowded at the starting line of the Coupeville Lions Garage Sale, peering over the rope to eye the smorgasbord of bargains awaiting purchase. By 8:30 a.m., half an hour before a Lion would blow the bullhorn signaling “go,” the main parking lot was packed, with overflow parking quickly filling up. Shoppers, many dressed in running shoes as if prepared for a marathon, flexed their legs and chatted about the treasures they expected to obtain. One volunteer likened the event’s usual stampede of shoppers to that at the doors of a Macy’s Black Friday sale. Just moments before 9 a.m., volunteers cut the rope. At the sound of the bullhorn, shoppers sprinted toward

their choice items, many making a beeline for bigger pieces like indoor and outdoor furniture, a crab boat and riding lawnmowers. Within seconds, dozens of hands shot up into the air as shoppers staked their claim and signaled for a Lion to complete the sale. A handful of children helped their family members by sitting on furniture pieces like dressers and desks to mark it theirs. “I would say between 90 and 95 percent of it was gone in the first hour,” Lion Joseph Walck said with a chuckle. Walck has been volunteering at the garage sale for 11 years. “Some people have come for 10 to 20 years and love to tell stories,” Walck said. “I enjoy listening to them.” He and fellow Lions won’t know how much money was raised until next week’s picnic, though he expects sales were satisfactorily high.

The covered play shed was filled with furniture, including couches and chairs. Money raised at the garage sale go towards the Lions Club foundation, which funds various programs including blood drives, sight and hearing screenings at the elementary school, historic preservation projects, medical equipment loans and purchasing eyeglasses and hearing aides for those in need. “It all seems to disappear at the end of the year, and it all goes back into the community,” said Walck. As they have in years past, the Lions took approximately a week and a

half to move items to the school and set up. But, Walck said, it took a year of collecting donations to accumulate their sizable stock, which included everything from a Honda Accord to toys, holiday decorations, household goods and antique nautical equipment. Walck estimated that only about two percent of the items were left at the end of the day Sunday. Most items were half-price Sunday. “It’s really a wonderful sale,” said Walck.

HEART: Man thanks crews that brought him back to life From page 1 Helm, who lives in the same neighborhood as the Foleys, was off duty but arrived at about the same time following a short drive from his home. Fire department personnel started in on chest compressions to circulate oxygenated blood through Foley’s body to protect vital organs. In his throat, they inserted a tube that is connected to an inflatable bag to essentially breath for the patient. “If somebody’s not breathing, we’re going to breath for them,” Helm said. “If someone’s heart is not

pumping, we’re going to pump it for them. If somebody’s bleeding, we’re going to stop the bleeding.” Central Whidbey Fire coordinated life-support efforts with Whidbey General paramedics after they got on the scene. Shortly after paramedics administered drugs, a pulse was detected, Foley’s arms started moving and he started breathing on his own. Helm said Foley had gone about 10 minutes without a pulse from the time they arrived on the scene. How long he was laying in the road where he was found by a neighbor just after 6 a.m. is unknown.

Foley and his wife wanted to come to the fire station in person to express their gratitude. Seven Central Whidbey Fire personnel responded to help Foley. They consisted of captains Andy Griffin and Helm, lieutenant Derik Vrable and firefighters James Meek, Kyle Jacobsen, Jeffrey Rhodes and Robert Moore. The hospital crew that worked on Foley were paramedics Matt Melena and Avis Bozeman. Two Island County sheriffs also responded to the emergency. The choreographed efforts by fire department and

hospital personnel demonstrate what properly performed, timely CPR can do to lead to optimum results, Central Whidbey Fire chief Ed Hartin said. Time is the most crucial factor, he said. That’s why he said the department is committed to training citizens how to perform basic “hands-only” CPR. It can be critically important for those in the community to start CPR as early as possible, Hartin said. “We will come out and teach hands-only CPR anywhere in the district,” Hartin said. “We’ll come to your house.”

Foley and his wife of 37 years are in the process of having a new house built on 10 acres in Coupeville. They have two adopted daughters. Their oldest, Amanda Hoesman-Foley, recently graduated at the top of the class at Coupeville High School with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. A spiritual man, Foley said he believes there might be a special reason he was saved. He said he feels blessed by the love he and his family have felt from others. “One thing I learned is we all touch peoples’ lives,” Foley said. “I never knew how much.”

ave you ever heard this before? “I love you so much… I don’t know what I’d do if you left me.” This may sound like a sweet and passionate partner but it can also be an obsessive behavior. Where is the line between devotion & obsession? Know your line. Being able to identify these red flags in not only your own relationship but in others’ too can help prevent domestic violence. Domestic violence is often only associated with physical abuse, and while that can be a significant part in some relationships, there are also many other more subtle ways that people are being manipulated and controlled in abusive relationships. These obsessive and manipulative behaviors are far more common and widespread than anyone realizes, and, are far less talked about. Often, it is the indirect and insidious behaviors that are many times brushed under the rug or written off and yet, those are the very tools that many abusers use to form a tight cocoon around their victims. Those subtle behaviors, known as red flags, can be difficult to pinpoint to the average person. Understanding the line between devotion and obsession is essential because many people can’t see unhealthy behaviors in their own relationship and need a friend to help them realize the warning signs. CADA is here to help people learn those warning signs. Citizens Against Domestic & Sexual Abuse, CADA, is Island County’s domestic violence and sexual assault agency. We provide free, confidential assistance for anyone affected by these issues. Services include a 24/7 crisis line, crisis intervention, advocacy-based counseling, legal advocacy, community education & prevention, medical advocacy, emergency shelter, support groups and parenting classes.

Splinters of thought for a wooden year Six years ago this month, my spouse, two dogs and I began our new lives on the Rock. Hallmark Cards says the correct sixth anniversary gift should be wood, but please don’t bother. We already have plenty of that on this evergreen-encrusted isle. Harry Anderson We “retired” here after a Rockin’ a Hard Place perambulatory career that took us from California to Texas. (I will explain why I put “retire” in quotes in a moment.) It was a momentous decision to move half way across the country to a Rock we hardly knew. It was mid-2009; the economy had collapsed. Financially it wasn’t the smartest time to retire, but we figured the Rock would be a good place to seek shelter or hide out if the world truly was about to end. From the day the burly guys finished unloading the gigantic, cross-country moving van at our house, we have felt as if we’ve been here all our lives. I realize how presumptuous that is for me to say in a place where a fair number of folks count themselves as third- for fourth-generation Rock dwellers and are able to leave flowers for relatives in Sunnyside Cemetery who died more than 100 years ago. But what’s so special about this island is how quickly new arrivals such as us acclimate to life and customs on the Rock. Gone are my business suits, food for moths. Banished are the neckties, dress shoes and button-down shirts; I hope somebody picked them up at the thrift store and is enjoying them. Stuffed in the back of the closet are my old sweaters and windbreakers; useless in blustery wet weather that changes every minute. We did use our big Texas umbrellas for a few months until we noticed how the locals gave us that “what a couple of wimps” look for fearing a few little raindrops. In the place of all that gear, I now have at least six pairs of well-worn jeans, five extra-large sweatshirts (two with hoods), several baseball caps, a dozen T-shirts (mostly received by donating at Rock fundraising events), five plaid flannel shirts, three pairs of New Balance running/walking shoes and a fleece vest. That’s all the wardrobe I need. What else would one wear here? Gathering dust, too, are the fine china, stemware and candleholders once used at our big-city dinner parties; they just seem out of place at a potluck. Now we dine on Pottery Barn “everyday” dishware, and we like it better after it’s “broken in” by a few chips. It is amazing how quickly a new Rock dweller loses the acquisitive, I-deserve-it-and-must-have-it-NOW mentality that infects our brothers and sisters in America. Of course we still have Internet access on the Rock, and that means Amazon and EBay addictions lurk close by. But I have learned to satisfy my acquisitive urge by shopping at farmers markets and thrift shops. Just as much fun but much cheaper. And besides I have no time for expensive acquisitions. “Retiring” on the Rock has led me to a half dozen volunteer jobs that fill up my days, a vegetable garden that takes up half the hours in summertime, and weed-whacking and mowing that take up the other half. Oh, and writing a column for the Examiner, which I find time for somehow. On this, my wooden anniversary, I realize how much the Rock has changed my life. I am not retired; I am reforested.

The best books for weed identification

toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel One gardener’s weed might very well be a naturalist’s wild flower or a herbalist’s medicinal plant. So much depends on both your world view and the level of exasperation you’ve reached while battling shot weed, dandelions or nettles. In keeping with a recent column where I advocated knowing your enemies in order to vanquish them, there are loads of books available to help you get a better grip on seeing when something is a weed, a native flower or a medicinal herb – or all three at the same time. An old standby for weed identification is “Weeds of the West,” published in cooperation with the Western

Society of Weed Science, the Western United States Land Grant Universities Cooperative Extension Services and the University of Wyoming. Yes, Virginia, there really is a Western Society of Weed Science. “Weeds of the West” is arranged by plant families, but there isn’t much method to its madness after that. If you recognize the plant family the weed belongs to, you can get close; and it’s a great book for browsing, but it’s not the best for ID’ing an unknown plant. A better guide, in my opinion, is “Weeds of the Northern U.S and Canada,” published by Lone Pine Press and the University of Alberta. This book includes information on flower structure and leaf arrangement to help in keying out mystery plants. Along with photos of mature plants, it also provides photos of seedlings, something very helpful for those of us who want to separate the good guys from the bad as soon as the carrots

and cilantro emerge from the ground. Another plus is that it includes a section toward the front of the book where you can quickly key out plants by their flower color and leaf arrangement, and seedlings by the shape of their cotyledons. To get a better grip on both the native and introduced species you’re going to find in your garden and beyond, there’s nothing to compare to “Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast” by Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon. You’ll find trees, shrubs, flowers, good guys, bad guys and some extremely cool fungi. Don’t go into the woods without it. If wildflowers are your thing, the Timber Press field guide “Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest” by Mark Turner and Phyllis Gustafson is wondeful. This is truly a flower centric book. It’s divided by flower color and the number of petals, and whether those petals are arranged symmetrically or

irregularly. Interested in medicinal plants? Try “Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West” by Michael Moore. There are innumerable medicinal plant books – I know, I have most of them – but this is a good place to start. Need help recognizing plant families and finding the right words to use when keying them out in a field guide? “Botany in a Day” by Thomas J. Elpel teaches how to recognize the plant families of North America by their patterns in a user friendly way. Finally, I couldn’t survive without “Plant Identification Terminology” by James G. Harris and Melinda Woolf Harris. It includes eight pages concerning descriptive terminology for plant surfaces alone. Not impressed? Personally, I’m gearing up for the botany edition of “Jeopardy!” “I’ll take “alveolate” for $200, Alex.”

Coupeville grads compete at the collegiate level By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

All-American honors earned by Coupeville High School graduate Hunter Hammer highlighted the athletic efforts of local graduates competing in collegiate spring sports this year. Hammer achieved All-American status for Trinity Lutheran College (Everett) by placing third in the shot put with a school record throw of 4711 at the National Christian College Athletic Association track championships in May. In addition to placing third in the shot put, he finished fifth in the hammer throw (150-05) and 13th in the discus (132-07) at the NCCAA

finals. Hammer also owns the Trinity discus (152-05) and hammer throw (155-06) school records. The performance in the national meet helped Hammer win the Student-Athlete of the Year Award at Trinity Lutheran. “He had a great finish to his last season of college competition,” coach Matt Koenigs said. “Hunter is a wonderful young man and was a joy to have on the track team.” Koenigs noted Hammer still had one year of eligibility left (he redshirted one of his seasons at Everett Community College) but chose to graduate this spring. Tyler King, a junior running Division I track for the Univer-

sity of Washington, placed 15th in the 10,000 meters (30:40.03) at the Pac-12 championship meet May 16 in Los Angeles. Two weeks later in Austin, Texas, he ran 30th in the 10,000 (31:39.57) at the NCAA West Preliminaries. Earlier in the season, King ran a 28:59.37, the fastest 10,000 on the team this spring and the sixth fastest all time at the University of Washington. He also posted this season’s second fastest 3,000 time (8:20.09) and sixth fastest 1,500 time (3:48.74) for the Huskies. Madeline Roberts, a freshman on the Shoreline Community College softball team, appeared in all 32 games for the 8-24 Dolphins, hitting .242. Roberts, a utility player, led the team in being hit by a pitch (3), was fourth in runs (19) and stolen bases (8), and sixth in RBI (12). She also slugged a double and home run. During the winter, she played on the Dolphin basketball team. Ben Etzell earned the save in the Minnesota Interscholastic Athletic Conference baseball tournament championship game to help St. John’s University (Collegeville, Minn.) take home the trophy. Etzell, a freshman, pitched 10 innings during the season for the 26-16 Johnnies, 5.1 coming in the tournament, where he earned both his saves. He threw scoreless ball in three appearances in the tournament, giving up only one hit and striking out five. Etzell entered the championship game with two on and one out in the

After giving up a hit to load the bases, he induced an inningending double-play grounder. He put St. Thomas down in order in the ninth to wrap up the title. Etzell limited opponents to

a team-best .212 batting average this spring and finished with a 2.70 earned run average, third among St. John’s pitchers. He had seven strikeouts and three walks in his 10 innings.

Coupeville players help Babe Ruth team reach district playoffs By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Seven players from Coupeville played for the 13/14 Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball team this summer and helped the club qualify for the postseason. Coupeville was represented on the team by Ty Eck, Gabe Eck, Jared Brown, Jake Pease, Elliott Johnson, Matt Hilborn and Shane Losey.

At the district tournament in Burlington last week, Oak Harbor lost 14-3 in six innings to the Whatcom Reign Thursday and then 11-0 in five innings to the Mount Vernon Diamond Dogs Friday. Mount Vernon defeated Whatcom 12-0 Saturday for the district title. In Oak Harbor’s game with Whatcom, Hilborn reached on a two-out single in the first inning and scored on Thomas

Anderson’s double. In the fifth, Will Moyes doubled, driving in Caleb Fitzgerald and Brown, who walked. Oak Harbor collected only three other hits in the game. Hilborn stroked a double, and Austin Boesch and Connor Buenaventura added singles. Brown took the pitching loss; Ty Eck and Johnson threw in relief. Oak Harbor had even

less offensive success against Mount Vernon, recording only three hits. Things started well as Fitzgerald led off the first inning with a single and Brown walked, but both were stranded and Oak Harbor had few scoring chances the remainder of the game. In fact, only two Oak Harbor batters reached base after Brown’s walk. Ty Eck singled in the third inning and Pease

doubled in the fifth. The district losses ended Oak Harbor’s season. Coach Pete Richter said he saw “a lot of individual growth” in the players throughout the season. “A lot of the 13s really woke up,” Richter said, “and competed with the 14s.” The team’s growth could have been greater, according to Richter, but other activities, such as football camp, cut into

practice and game time. While Oak Harbor won only a handful of games, the team was competitive in most, Richter said. It had a habit of suffering through what he called “that inning,” one bad inning that appeared each game and sabotaged many great efforts. “It’s just a matter of mental preparedness,” Richter said.

Officials heed danger of dry weather, fireworks By Debra Vaughn Staff Reporter

shal the ability to call for an emergency ban on fireworks. “We aren’t going to be able to take action this year,” she said. “That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to get tools in place for the future.” State law allows local city and county governments to completely ban fireworks within their jurisdictions or add a clause allowing emergency bans — but only with a year advanced notice. The burn ban in Island

County, which took effect Monday, prohibits all open fires. It’s OK to use charcoal and gas grills. Rules for when fireworks can be used varies. In the county, it’s now OK to use legal fireworks from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. until the holiday, and on July 5. On the Fourth, fireworks may be used 9 a.m. until midnight. In Coupeville, revelers may use fireworks from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. only on the Fourth.

It’s hot and dry on Whidbey Island, so unseasonably Hades-like that the Island County fire marshal issued a countywide burn ban. But there’s one thing he can’t place an emergency ban on, no matter how extreme the weather: fireworks. Island County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution last week to “encourage

all within our jurisdiction to limit the discharge of personal fireworks to reduce fire danger on our islands.” The resolution has no more authority than a strongly-worded finger wag. “It seems crazy (the fire marshal) can restrict every other kind of burning and not fireworks,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. She’s pushing for the county to add a clause to the books that would give the fire mar-

HOWELLS: Couple aims to get back into community programs From page 1 They also started the summer concert series, Concerts on the Cove, and were instrumental in getting the stage built at Coupeville Town Park. The concerts no longer operate, but the Howells said they’d be interested in getting them started again, but maybe not as frequently as before. In order to raise funds to have the stage at the park built, the Howells and others from the community offered a series of comedic performances called The Follies. The humorous skits poked fun at various community members, issues and just about anything. The Howells reminisced about a time when the town’s Catholic Church decided it didn’t want to paint anymore and installed vinyl siding — without approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. In jest, The Follies started ongoing skits about the Sisters of Perpetual Maintenance. “We were after everybody,” Pat said. “It was very political and they were pissed if we didn’t go after them.” “Oh those shows were fun,” she added.

There was also the former Coupeville mayor who lived across from the town park and, because he didn’t like the Concert on the Cove series, he would mow his lawn, saw lumber and start fires to blow smoke into the park during the performances. “We made sure he was in every folly,” Pat said. The Follies are also something the Howells said they’d be interested in starting back up. As they settle into their new Coupeville home, and make small changes to their new coffee shop, the Howells are also looking at other ways to be involved. Pat says she would like to get involved with the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association and also Friends of Ebeys. David said he does plan on doing some singing with the Shifties. One thing you can count on is visiting them at their downtown coffee shop. The new owners plan on being behind the counter most days. “As a small business owner, you need to be present,” David Howell said. So if you haven’t already, the Howells welcome old — and new — friends to stop in and say, “hi.”
