By Ron NewberryStaff Reporter

Millie Fonda recently started walking the wooded trails again near Engle Road in Coupeville and found new interpretive signs to be a welcome surprise.

“It’s really nice to have all that informa-tion,” Fonda said.

New things keep popping up at the Admi-ralty Inlet Preserve property and surround-ing land owned and managed by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

The most recent addition is an excavator, which is carving out a new public trail and re-routing an existing one with the intent to give Coupeville residents and visitors another place to recreate in a scenic natural setting.

The near 0.4 miles of new trail and 0.3 miles of improved trail follow along Engle Road near where the land trust is restoring prairie habitat.

The new Engle Trail isn’t expected to be ready for public use until June with a commu-nity event to be held this summer to celebrate the trail, interpretive signs and educational kiosks placed around the property.

“When we do our management plans for

the property, we always look at where are ap-propriate places where we can let the public come and enjoy nature,” said Jessica Larson, land steward with the land trust. “Part of our mission is to help people connect with the land.”

The ultimate goal is to be a part of a net-work of connected natural trails that would allow users to roam from Camp Casey to Ebey’s Landing, Larson said.

The landowners involved in that scenario are the land trust, Washington State Parks, Seattle Pacific University and a private land-owner with a National Park Service trail ease-ment, Larson said.

The Whidbey

By Megan HansenCo-Editor

Despite concerned murmurs in the community about the fate of the Green-bank Farm, the Port of Coupeville and management group continue negotiations on a new contract with the focus now on budgets.

The Greenbank Farm Management Group was the only applicant to submit a proposal last fall to manage the publicly owned property.

A new contract needs to be renewed by June.

The previous contract includes a $50,000 annual fee paid to the manage-ment group by the port.

During the port’s regular meeting last week several community members involved in Greenbank Farm activities questioned what the longterm manage-ment plan is.

Port Commissioner Marshall Bron-son assured the public that the port would maintain ongoing programs and contracts.

The issue at hand is the port budget.Commissioners discussed at length last

Wednesday where they could possibly cut from the budget.

“If we keep going this course, we are going to facing bankruptcy,” said newly appointed commissioner John Carr. “The 7,000 or so people who support the port would like to see a certain level of fiscal responsibility.

“Certain cuts have to be made, and we have a responsibility to make it.”

Bronson threw out a suggestion to take the $50,000 proposed management group fee and apply it to covering the cost of needed maintenance at the Greenbank Farm.

This suggestion was not supported by Commissioner Mike Diamanti, who also serves as the Greenbank Farm liaison.

Michael Stansbury, president of the Greenbank Farm Management Group, said going from $50,000 to nothing would be unacceptable.

He suggested the port look at cutting port handyman hours or other hourly cuts.

Bronson asked to see a breakdown of how the management group uses the $50,000 it receives and how fundraisers and other revenue opportunities at the farm figure into the group’s budget.

He noted that in the last several years, the port has born the brunt of budget constraints, while the management group

maintains the same fiscal support from the public port district.

“The squeezing has always been on the port’s side,” Bronson said. “It’s time to look at the other side.”

Stansbury and port Ex-

ecutive Director David Day were instructed to work out plan to see where budgets can be trimmed.

“It’s a process to see if we can find some common ground,” Stansbury said. “We’re prepared to sit down and look at the details and see if it’s something we can do.”

Contract: Greenbank Farm negotiation looks at management funds

parties, however, the plan is still tentative with no time-table in place, Larson said.

The new Engle Trail will be open to runners and bik-ers and offer loop trail op-tions for walkers to connect to existing trails already in place in the Admiralty Inlet Preserve.

Currently, only walking is allowed in the interior trails within the preserve, which include water views of Admiralty Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The new trail is being funded by a grant from the Washington Wildlife Rec-reation Program through the Washington State Rec-

reation and Conservation Office.

Twin Oaks Construc-tion & Metalworks, based in White Salmon, was con-tracted to create the new trail and re-route the exist-ing one, which was done to allow more space for prairie restoration.

Krista Thie, co-owner of Twin Oaks along with husband Daryl Hoyt, con-siders Coupeville home, having spent part of her youth living in the town. Her mother, Mary Louise Thie, still resides in Coupe-ville.

“Getting to be part of this is very, very special,” Krista Thie said.

Marshal responds to dispute

The Port of Coupeville is still nego-tiating with Thom Kroon, the owner of the old Mad Crab building over port-owned tidelands the building encroaches on.

Negotiations are currently focused on a boundary line agreement, where the legal description of Kroon’s property will include the property in dispute.

The port will still retain ownership of the tidelands and Kroon is proposing a $8,500 payment.

Port Executive Director David Day said the payment is to clear the dispute and not a fee to “purchase” the property.

The agreement has not been finalized but would end a year long dispute.

Kroon went to the port early last year after he learned his newly aquired build-ing was partially on port property.

At the time, port commissioners didn’t know they owned those tidelands.

Kroon asked the port to send a letter to the Town of Coupeville saying that

the issue was being addressed so Kroon could continue with plans to change the building into a multi-use building featur-ing commercial and residential space.

Kroon hired a surveyor to appraise the land in question. The port and Kroon discussed purchasing or leasing the property. Commissioners main-tained through discussions they wanted to keep the property under port owner-ship and were in favor of a 50-year lease with a minimal annual fee.

Coupeville High School spring sports began with one step forward and two back.

Seniors Aaron Curtin (four innings) and Aaron Trumbull (two innings) com-bined to throw a no-hitter in Coupeville’s 10-0 season-opening baseball win over Blaine Saturday, March 14.

The Wolves, however, were shutout by visiting Sul-tan Monday, March 16, in both baseball and softball.

The Turks took the base-ball game 6-0 and the softball clash 11-0.

In other CHS sports news, nearly 100 athletes attended a retreat sponsored by the Coupeville Booster Club Fri-day, March 13, and softball player Hailey Hammer re-cently signed a letter of intent to play for Everett Communi-ty College next school year.

Baseball team splitsIn addition to Curtin and

Trumbull’s pitching gem against Blaine, 10 of the 11 Wolves who played either scored a run or rapped a base hit.

Josh Bayne smacked three hits and scored two runs, Curtin slugged two singles and drove in two runs and Kyle Bodamer added a two-run single.

Cole Payne, C.J. Smith and Hunter Smith also singled.

The Wolves scored one run in the first inning, four in the fourth and five in the sixth.

“We really played well,” coach Willie Smith said. “We had a really good approach at the plate, put the ball in play and made them make plays.”

He was pleased with how pitchers Curtin and Trum-bull “hit their spots” and how “the young guys played well.”

Three freshmen and two sophomores played for the Wolves.

“As good as we played Saturday, we played bad to-day,” coach Smith said after the Sultan loss.

He conceded up-and-down play is common among young teams; most of the Wolves’ lineup is new this

spring.“Fortunately we have

11 nonleague games to get things straightened out.”

Tyler Ohlson, a soft-throwing left-hander with a nice curve ball, tossed a three-hit shutout for Sultan, striking out four.

The Turks scored single runs off Coupeville starter C.J. Smith in each of the first two innings on only one hit.

Sultan tacked on two more runs in the fifth. Fresh-man Julian Welling relieved C.J. Smith in the inning and limited the damage by strik-ing out the side.

Sultan finished the scor-ing with two two-out runs in the seventh.

Bodamer collected two hits, including a double. Jake Hoagland also singled.

The Wolves (1-1) go to Ce-darcrest (1-0) at 4 p.m. Mon-day, March 23.

Turk quiets WolvesThe Wolves, with only

three returning starters and a first-year coach, had the misfortune of opening the season against Sultan and one of the area’s top pitchers, junior Shelby Jeffries.

Jeffries, who has commit-ted to play at Cal Poly next year, was all-league, first-team last spring when she struck out 226 batters in 124 innings.

Monday, she pitched a two-hitter and struck out 18, including 11 of the final 12 batters she faced.

Coupeville’s two hits, both singles, came from two

of its seniors: McKayla Bai-ley in the fourth and Hailey Hammer in the sixth.

Coupeville coach Deanna Rafferty said her team dis-played first-game jitters.

“Their nerves got the best of them facing a tall, strong player,” Rafferty said. “They made contact; they all did. I am proud of them.”

While the 11-0 score may not show it, the Wolves received a strong pitching performance from Katrina McGranahan in her first var-sity start.

The freshman struck out 11 and was the victim of four errors and several mental lapses from her defense.

McGranahan will eventu-ally share the pitching duties with Bailey, who tossed the majority of innings for the Wolves the past two seasons but is still rounding back into shape from a shoulder injury.

Coupeville, with only three seniors and no juniors, is rebuilding, Rafferty said.

“I am definitely learn-ing as much as they are,” she said. “I’m glad there is room for improvement.”

Coupeville (0-1) travels to South Whidbey (0-0) for a 4 p.m. game Friday, March 18.

Retreat attracts 94The retreat included sev-

eral speakers from Proactive Coaching, food and give-aways.

The speakers emphasized the “coachable spirit” and life lessons, prompting the athletes to be more coachable

and using those qualities in everyday life as well as in the athletic arena.

Ninety-four athletes were present at the end of the eve-ning, according to the Boost-er Club’s Shelli Trumbull, and several others attended for a portion of the event.

The club hopes to hold the retreat each year, Trumbull said, although the date may be switched to the fall.

Ralliers should practice what they preachEditor,

Environmentalists, especially those who participated in the Divestment March earlier this month in Coupeville, should set a good example in the community. One of the ways they can do this is by conserving electric power.

No one should burn an outdoor light all night, every night, in a residential area when this is not necessary. PSE (Puget Sound Ener-gy) obtains about one-third of its energy from burning coal, the very thing the environmen-talists are against.

If you believe in something, live it.Marianne Thawley

Film to highlightconservation needsEditor,

It has not been a very good year for snow sports, ski resorts or landslides in our state. Now, Governor Jay Inslee has declared a drought emergency because our snow pack is only 27 percent of normal. What’s going on?

The California drought is not expected to relent. It is the new normal. In Sao Paolo, Bra-zil, with a population of 11 million, deforesta-tion has led to desertification. They only have 5 percent of the water left in their reservoir. Fifty percent of the rivers in China have dried up. The Aral Sea is no more.

One-and-a-half billion people across the globe are water stressed due to lack of clean water or a lack of water at all.

Three years ago, the Mississippi River and Great Lakes were at alarmingly low levels. Ac-cording to the EPA, many of our waterways are too polluted for swimming, fishing or drinking, including 64 percent of our lakes, 44 percent of our streams and 30 percent of our bays and estuaries.

“Got water?” is an increasingly repeated refrain. The U.N. says water is a right of every person on the planet. California just passed a law saying the same.

To help get a handle on this crucial issue, we are showing the film “Blue Gold: World Water Wars.”

Following the film, Assistant State Clima-tologist Karin Bumbaco will describe what we can expect in our region in the future. Will there be enough water for salmon, agriculture and hydropower production?

It has been said that “water is the ink that writes the poetry of life.” — William Marks. A precious gift worth caring for.

Please join us at 7 p.m. Friday, March 27, 2015, at the UUCWI sanctuary in Freeland for this important evening.

Don’t mask clearcut for the logging it really isEditor,

As a forester with more than 40 years of education and experience in the field, it infuri-ated me to read the article in the Whidbey Ex-aminer of March 11, “Acres Clear Cut as Part of Regrowth.”

There are so many factual errors in this article that I hardly know where to begin. For instance, the statements attributed to the log-ger were unconscionably ignorant and mis-leading. Red alder can live up to 100 years, not 35-40. Douglas fir often live past 900 years, not 60. There is no significant disease that af-fects both Douglas fir and red alder. Lami-nated root rot does not affect red alder (or any hardwood), contrary to the logger’s claim.

If the area is so rife with disease, then re-planting with the same species is patently a poor reforestation practice. If the disease was as severe and widespread as reported, then the income derived from harvest would probably not have been enough to defray the expenses of logging, hauling, treatment of logging de-bris, replanting costs and subsequent refores-tation management. Firewood? I doubt that firewood sales would earn enough to warrant logging the property.

The logger should better inform himself about basic dendrology, forest pathology and forest ecology before making such embarrass-ing and uninformed statements. Your news-paper should make a greater effort to provide credible sources to help inform your readers. “Selective Harvest,” as it is performed lo-cally, is seldom much of an improvement over

clearcutting. Keep in mind that Puget Sound lowland forests have been managing them-selves quite nicely for more than 6,000 years without our “help.”

The statements attributed to our county assessor were either woefully misinformed or ingenuous. Statements such as, “What they are doing is clearing out the bad stuff and put-ting good trees back in” and, “It’s about giv-ing back to the community by harvesting the trees and replenishing them” are insupport-able. Most, if not all, clearcuts here in Island County return nothing to the community except the increased spread of invasive plants and a greater need for pesticide application; causing blow-down of adjacent neighboring trees; causing soil compaction and increased stormwater impacts, which increase erosion and sedimentation; and burdening the public with the costs of repairing the cumulative ill effects of poor logging … oh, and some mini-mal permit fees and taxes.

The landowner is probably overly opti-mistic in expecting that, “In five to 10 years it will begin to look like it always had” and, “In 30-40 years we can do it again.” In five to 10 years, the property will probably be an impen-etrable brush-field with few, if any, surviving planted seedlings, rather than a new forest.

If you’re going to log, at least be honest — you did it for the money or as a precursor to eventual development or for the view — or to satisfy the archaic and damaging tax laws re-lating to “open space.”

Perhaps your readers — as well as the log-ger quoted in your article — would be inter-ested and informed by reading the 2009 DNR publication, Forest Practices Illustrated.

Clean septic makefor happy musselsEditor,

Thanks for your delightful story about the Penn Cove MusselFest. The lovely weather certainly did draw a crowd, but the festival would not be possible without the mussels, which need a happy, clean home in Penn Cove.

We can all help, and for those of us who live near the water especially, we need to make sure our septic systems work properly.

Yes, state law and county regulations re-quire that all our septic systems be inspected to ensure they are working well, but we also know it’s the right thing to do.

Island County will be offering training on septic systems in April. To find out about dates, times and locations for all training in 2015, visit the county’s site at www.islandcoun tyseptictraining.com

This site also shows Google maps of the sensitive areas of Penn Cove and South Holmes Harbor watersheds — very interest-ing.

I personally had no idea how far north the Penn Cove watershed runs.

For those who want a bit of education and some fun, too, a pub talk about the Penn Cove watershed will be held 4-6 p.m. Friday, April 24, at bayleaf. See you there. Do it for the mus-sels. Yum.
