By Justin BurnettStaff Reporter

Standing back, Central Whidbey farmer Don Sherman can’t help but admire “Grand-pa Clark’s” old barn.

Of course, it’s a little easier nowadays. The nearly 80-year-old building was recently given a new lease on life with a much needed renovation. Worn out siding was replaced, the second story doors were repaired, and the eyebrow-raising tilt to the North stabilized.

The barn was even restored to its old, bright-red glory.

“It’s nice to see the old girl with some paint on her,” Sherman said.

Sherman is one of many property own-ers who have benefited from the Ebey’s Forever Fund, a budding, com-munity-driven grant program that aims to help with the high cost of maintaining histor-ic structures.

Since it was kicked off, the fund has assisted 17 properties and raised nearly $130,000 in donations for contributing struc-tures located within Ebey’s Landing Nation-al Historical Reserve.

According to Mark Preiss, manager of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, its success is evidence that alternative fund-ing programs that leverage community sup-port are not only effective, but demonstrate the public’s commitment to historic preser-vation.

“Clearly, they recognize the importance of community involvement in these heritage resources,” Preiss said.

“The money raised speaks for itself,” he said.

The program began in late 2010 at the annual Ebey’s Forever Conference when the Pickard family announced a financial grant challenge.

Any money donated by the community for the preservation of historic structures within the reserve would be matched by up to $50,000.

At the time, and continuing to this day,

government funding can be hard to come by. Old buildings are expensive to maintain and property owners are left with the responsibil-ity of keeping up structures that they some-time can’t even use.

The idea behind the fund was simple; to foster a program that would provide enough financial assistance to property owners that they would be willing to reinvest in the old buildings.

For example, “Grandpa Clark’s” barn, built in 1935, had been used for many differ-ent things over the decades but 80 years will take a toll on any building that sees hard use,

particularly those for farming.

The building had fallen in such disre-pair that Sherman had all but stopped using the second story for fear of its structural stabil-ity. While he never

planned to abandon the building, the ex-pense of repairs did delay its rehabilitation.

The Pickard’s challenge was met and Sherman was one of the first grant recipients. That financial help was one of the big rea-sons the project got done when it did, Sher-man said.

“It was a really important consideration,” Sherman said.

“I really give all those guys credit for get-ting this going,” he said.

Linda Bartlett, co-owner of Rosehip Farm & Garden, was a grant recipient last year and the Sam Keith Farm Shed, a small building located next to her home, received a major overhaul.

“It was pretty unusable. … It was more like a lean-to than a building,” she said.

Trying to take on expensive projects like that can be a “daunting” task when you’re trying to run a successful farm, she said. Like Sherman, she said the end result is that reno-vations and even maintenance can be pushed back.

“We might have been able to do this our-selves but this allowed us to make it a prior-

Senior is grateful for inspiring teachers, family

By Betty FreemanStaff Reporter

Coupeville High School senior Kelsey Pape, 18, has attended Coupeville schools since she was in second grade though she lives with her family in Oak Harbor.

“My parents thought I’d do better in a smaller school and they were right,” said Pape.

Kelsey’s parents are Carolyn and Billy Pape and she has a younger sister Jil-lian, 13.

Her mom works in for the Everett Health District in human resources, and her dad is facilities manager at Hedgebrook writers’ re-treat in Langley.

“I’m so lucky to have had such a close family,” said Pape. “Family time is really important to us. My parents have given me so much.”

Pape has been accept-ed at three Washington state colleges for next year, Pacific Lutheran Univer-sity, Seattle University and Western Washington Uni-versity.

Her first choice school is the University of Washing-ton, which she has applied for but hadn’t heard from at press time.

She hopes to pursue a degree in business with a focus on human resources. Her mom’s work in HR has been a good influence on her.

“I like working with peo-

ple and I think there’ll be a lot of opportunities for me in human resources,” said Pape.

At Coupeville High School, Pape has been a member of the National Honor Society and the yearbook staff as well as taking Advanced Place-ment classes and working as a teacher’s assistant in a middle school art class.

“Ms. Dix has 28 seventh graders in her art class and she appreciates the help I give her,” said Pape.

Pape also volunteers as a big sister for a 13-year-old girl through Big Brothers, Big Sisters in Coupeville. She’s mentored one girl for the last two years, giving her help with homework and playing games or sports with her once a week.

Pape has also been a member of the CHS girls’ soccer team in her junior and senior years.

Another community service opportunity she enjoys is Teen Ambassa-dors, a leadership program through 4-H.

Teen Ambassadors took her to Olympia earlier this year for the “Know Your Government” conference where she participated in a mock trial as a juror.

“It was cool to see how the whole judicial process works,” she said of that ex-perience.

She’s had several inspir-ing teachers at CHS.

“I’ve always developed close relationships with my teachers,” said Pape.

“Ms. Ballard knew I was good at writing so she start-ed setting the bar higher

for me and I’ve learned so much from her,” said Pape of her English teacher Bar-bara Ballard.

She also cited Ryan Grenz, her history and con-temporary issue teacher for his teaching skills.

“Mr. Grenz makes it in-

teresting and he has a great way of involving the whole class in discussions by play-ing devil’s advocate,” she said.

Her calculus teacher Kyle Nelson also has a great teaching style, said Pape.

“Calculus is not easy

to learn, but Mr. Nelson makes it easier to under-stand. If you have a ques-tion, he can explain a prob-lem in multiple ways for you,” Pape said.

Pape knows she’ll miss her friends and the teachers at Coupeville High School

when she goes off to college next year.

“We’ve been together so long and we’re a close class,” she said. “Next year we’ll be pursuing different paths, but for now we’re all going through this life tran-sition together.”

Coupeville senior Kelsey Pape said she isn’t sure which college’s offer she’ll accept, but she knows she’s on her way. Pape has three colleges to choose from in Washington state.

The Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association is looking at making the town a mobile hotspot.

The association formed a committee last week to explore options and costs in providing visitors with a public wireless Internet con-nection.

The idea is an antenna would be installed near the visitor’s center on Alexander Street that would broadcast a signal.

Some of the benefits to the service would be to al-low vendors during festivals access to run credit cards, business interaction with visi-tors as well as assist in social network marketing.

During the association’s regular meeting last Thurs-day, some business owners pointed out there may be some liability in how the con-nection is used if it’s open to everyone.

The committee will ex-plore the use of administra-tive options to block access to specific kinds of websites as well as possibly creating spe-cific types of logins to restrict

usage.The estimated cost of such

a project would be anywhere from $70 to $370 a month in usage costs, depending on the size of desired bandwidth.

Installation and hardware is estimated to cost between $500 and $2,000.

Some of that cost will be covered by a grant, said as-sociation Executive Director Vickie Chambers.

One thing the committee will explore is possibly creat-ing the multiple access logins to allow some of the smaller local businesses to utilize the service.

Some ideas thrown out in-clude charging a monthly fee charge for local businesses. The association is reaching out to the Coupeville Cham-ber of Commerce to see if it would like to be involved.

Executive Director Lynda Eccles said the project is something the chamber would be interested in partici-pating in.

Estimated time to get a mobile hotspot up and run-ning would be 60-90 days.

Chambers said she would love to be up and running by this summer.

Military economics makes for good political debateEditor,

I have a vacation house near the Outlying Field in Coupe-ville.

I understand the noise issues. The Navy does have a proposed alternative for the Whid-

bey Island Naval Air Station OLF: Guam. In fact, the Navy wants to relocate the entire Station to

Guam.Comparing the Naval Air Station to the Norfolk Naval

Base is not accurate: Norfolk is the largest naval complex in the world, and serves as the command for the Atlantic. There is nothing farther east.

Norfolk’s location in the Atlantic is the equivalent to Guam for the Pacific command.

I am sure state Rep. Rick Larsen understands that there is no strategic purpose for a Naval air station on Whidbey Island.

Like forts Worden and Ebey, the Navy thinks the air station should be closer to the threat, where there are no neighbors. By definition, having U.S. civilian neighbors makes no sense for a forward air station.

But the economics of a military base makes good econom-ics and politics, which I am sure the navy understands as well.

Where’s the outrage over county business questionnaireEditor,

How can it be that over three weeks ago commercial prop-erty owner were mailed notice requesting income and expense information for the last two years, and no one has complained or asked questions?

Aren’t commercial property owners already paying excise tax, income tax, real property tax and property tax?

Why is it Island County Assessor’s business what the an-nual gross income is?

Is it any concern to the assessor’s office what the annual operation expenses before real estate taxes, except to raise property taxes?

Why should they see leases?Apparently if a business makes too much money, their

property should cost more. No one is asking if anyone made a profit. Does any govern-

ment agency understand net income?This is a new ‘required’ questionnaire requesting sensitive

information, although confidentiality is assured. Who feels comfortable sharing information without a clear

understanding of the goal? Washington state already has a tax based on gross income,

when everyone knows net profit is the reality of each business. Is property tax also to be influenced by gross income?

This all smacks of double, triple taxation.

There are two features of this time of year that make my heart glad. One is the rapidly increasing length of the day. In September we lose daylight quickly, but in the spring we gain it all back just as rapidly.

Although the same pat-tern is repeated each year

(so you’d think I’d be used to it) I’m always somehow sur-prised and delighted when we get to this time of year and have early sunrises and spreading daylight in the evenings.

The other part of this time of year that gladdens my soul is the singing of birds. Starting as soon as it gets light, the birds go at it, vocalizing for their own pur-poses but entertaining all of us who listen for a minute before we rush off to work.

Recently scientists an-nounced new findings regarding bird songs and what makes them possible in terms of fundamental neuro-biology. Songbirds, it turns out, are interesting to study because when they hatch out of their eggs they don’t know the songs they will later sing as adults. That means they

are a bit like us people when we are born. Like the birds, we have to learn to make sounds and speak like our parents, it’s not something we are born able to do.

It’s not that birds and people are highly similar in evolutionary terms and thus share this same basic trait of needing to learn how to vocalize like our kin. Indeed it’s been about 300 million years since birds and hu-mans had a common evolu-tionary ancestor – that’s a long time even by geologic standards! At some point since that long ago split, both the animals that be-came birds and the primates that later led to us people independently acquired the ability to make complex tones and sounds.

Erich Jarvis of Duke University Medical Center

is a neurobiologist who has “gone to the birds” in his quest to understand how it is some animals learn to speak the languages in which different species are immersed. He and his col-leagues recently announced findings of their work. One of the take away messages of the research is that brains in quite different species have evolved over time in similar ways to produce highly use-ful features like songs and speech.

“I feel more comfortable that we can link structures in songbird brains to analo-gous structures in human brains due to convergent evolution,” Jarvis said to a reporter from ScienceNews.

Jarvis and company have discovered some 80 genes that turn off and on in like manner in the brains of

songbirds and people. The genes don’t behave that way in the brains of birds that don’t learn tunes from their parents.

The research could have some useful applications. It’s possible that combining it with the data that describes the entire genetic code of people could yield practical information about things like speech disorders.

Like the longer and lon-ger days we’re enjoying, that would be something to sing about.

Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist. This column is a service of the College of Agricultural, Hu-man and Natural Resource Sciences at Washington State University.

Say what you will about the intrusion of technology into our everyday lives, there are times when it’s pretty darned handy to have bil-lions of electrons at your fin-gertips. You can browse the stacks of the Sno-Isle library system from the comfort of your own chair. In your PJ’s. At midnight.

That’s how I discovered my latest BBE, or Best Book

Ever.“Seeing Trees, Discover

the Extraordinary Secrets of Everyday Trees” by Nancy Ross Hugo from Timber Press invites you to become intimately acquainted with all of the trees you see every day and may be ignoring. The exquisitely detailed photographs by Robert Llewellyn make this book as much about the art of the creation that surrounds us as a guide to tree identifica-tion

The author asks us to sit a spell with our trees and look beyond the obvious. We notice the red berries, but do we notice the small white flowers that naturally must always first appear on female holly trees? We know

what an acorn looks like. Or do we? From fringed to gigantic, we may never taken them for granted again.

And the litter found be-neath a tree can be just as fascinating as the tree itself. The seldom seen cotyle-dons of some species can be observed, as well as the many forms that seeds/fruits take. Even the carpet of leaves spread out in fall may become so beautiful it will seem a shame to rake it all away.

Hugo gives a tutorial on how to observe leaves, flowers and cones, fruit, buds and leaf scars, bark and twigs in a new way. For example, leaf scars, in their shapes and the arrangement of their bundle scars — the

dots that mark where the leaf’s vascular tissue was at-tached -- can be as indicative of a tree’s identity as its flow-ers or fruit.

Hugo goes on to focus on 10 trees that are common in her region of Virginia, including American beech, American sycamore, black walnut, eastern red cedar, ginkgo, red maple, south-ern magnolia, tulip poplar, white oak and white pine. Then she hones in on each of its features with a sense of wonder and admiration you want to stand at her shoul-der and see it all through her eyes.

It made me recall my first glimpse of a tulip pop-lar while traveling through Montana. I was lucky

enough to catch it in flower, its blossoms so much like tree-borne water lilies. The leaves, though, drove me crazy. How often have you sampled a leaf from some unknown tree and then gone on an on-line quest to discover its identity using its shape, size and color? It was impossible for me to describe.

Now I can use Nancy Ross Hugo’s words: “Tulip poplar leaves are famous for their shape — with four ma-jor lobes (pointed sections) and a depression instead of a tip at the end that makes them look saddle-shaped.”

Because of this book, I’ll never allow myself to see the forest, yet fail to truly see the trees.

It’s worth getting to know your trees

A Marysville woman stepped forward, claim-ing that she too witnessed strange lights in the sky last weekend.

Katie Kinman, 59, contacted the Whidbey News-Times after reading a story published Wednesday about Dick and Carol John-son’s account of unexplain-able lights over their Bush Point home last Saturday.

According to Kinman, she also witnessed strange lighted objects that evening but these were in Marysville at 10:30 p.m., about two hours after the reported phenomenon on South Whidbey.

“I was pretty happy someone else saw it because I was feeling pretty alone,” Kinman said.

Kinman was able to record video footage of the event. Shaky and with hard-to-discern details, the footage shows at least one orange light similar to those described by the Johnsons.

Kinman said she was driving with her 6-year-old stepson and had just merged onto Shoultes Road from 142nd Street when she saw two bright objects low in the sky nearby.

The distance was hard to gauge, she said, but they were stationary and about

the height of a streetlight. Pulling over, Kinman be-gan recording the object when she felt a “strange sensation.”

“As I held my arms up shooting this video, I got a strange feeling something was above me, so I looked up directly above me to my left; that’s why I acciden-tally filmed the ground,” she said.

One of the objects was just above her and the expe-rience turned from one of apprehensive wonder to one of terror because the “long and oval shaped” craft be-gan moving toward them.

“My stepson began screaming and pounding on the window for me to get back in the car,” she said. “It scared me so bad I stopped recording and jumped in the car. I shook so bad I could hardly drive. Then it just vanished.”

Kinman drove home and immediately called a television news station to report the incident but she said they only laughed at her frantic claims.

“They said, ‘We’re going on the air in three minutes and don’t have time for this’ and then they hung up,” she said.

Kinman said she real-izes “this sounds crazy” and was extremely relieved to have read the Johnsons’ account because it not only occurred on the same night

but there were some simi-larities.

“It had no sound,” she said.

Since the Johnsons’ account was published Wednesday, several people have called the newspaper to report experiences of their own. One was Jerry Shimek, a Bush Point resi-dent who lives across the street from the Johnsons.

Shimek said he also saw two lights Saturday night, at about the same time.

They were low in the sky and traveling east but he believes they were nothing more than what are com-monly referred to as “Chi-nese lanterns.”

“They looked to me like hot air balloons released just for fun,” Shimek said.

Other Whidbey Island residents who called in of-fered their support for the Johnsons and asked for their contact information so they could share unex-plainable experiences of their own.

As for Kinman, she be-lieves she witnessed some type of secret military aircraft, as opposed to something extraterrestrial in nature.

All she knows for sure, however, is that they were no hot air balloons.

“Like Dick Johnson, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke pot and I’m not crazy,” she said.

Woman backs man’s Whidbey UFO claims


To ensure that outgoing planning Chief Bob Peder-son won’t sue Island County, the commissioners have agreed to pay him more than $21,000 and provide him with a letter of recommen-dation.

In a separation agreement approved by a majority of the board just two days after Pederson submitted a let-ter of resignation, March 4, Pederson waived any right to bring a future claim against the county.

In return, Pederson will receive the equivalent of two months’ salary and ben-efits, totaling $21,045, and a glowing, page-long letter of recommendation highlight-ing his accomplishments over the past three and a half years.

The agreement was ap-proved by the board at its weekly work session, March 6. According to Elaine Mar-low, who serves as budget director, board clerk and as the county’s risk manager, it was brought forward solely at her request.

“Given the unique situ-ation concerning Commis-sioner Kelly Emerson and the planning department, I thought it would be best to

limit any potential future risk on the county’s part,” said Marlow, in an interview this week.

The agreement was ap-proved and later signed by Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, chairwoman of the board at the time, and Com-missioner Jill Johnson.

Emerson, chairwoman of the board, was present at the meeting but did not partici-pate in the vote.

She has been battling it out with Pederson and Island County Planning and Com-munity Development since late 2010 over what began as an un-permitted project at her Camano Island home.

The issue mushroomed into a two-year-long saga in-

volving a court battle -– Em-erson sued the county and Pederson -– thousands of dollars in fines and a debated wetland on the property.

To date, Emerson owes $37,000 in fines and she has a building permit issue that remains unresolved. The commissioner has main-tained that settling the issue has been in the hands of Pederson so it’s unclear what will happen now that he is resigning.

According to Marlow, Pederson’s annual salary was about $76,000, not includ-ing benefits. His resignation date is effective April 5 but last working day on the job is March 29, according to the separation agreement.

County, Pederson part ways peacefully

ity,” she said.In both cases, the funding program not

only enabled property owners to fix up historic structures that had fallen into dis-repair, but also, and just as importantly, to put them to use.

According to Preiss, that’s a big part of keeping these buildings alive and main-taining the fabric of a working, cultural landscape.

It may also be a big reason for the pro-gram’s popularity among working farm-ers, as many now see the fund as a realistic source of assistance.

By comparison, similar state programs can be highly competitive.

Fourteen property owners submitted applications for this year’s grants, the most the program has seen so far.

The community’s investment has also increased, with more money raised last year than ever before.

“This has it’s own energy now,” Preiss said.

An anonymous donor issued a $75,000 challenge grant and, like the Pickard’s ini-tial challenge two years ago, it was met by the public.

Not all donations are financial and some funds may be retained for another year so it’s difficult to say how much will be allocated in 2013, Preiss said.

“I can tell you this, it will be more than we’ve ever granted before,” Preiss said.

This years grant recipients will be an-nounced early next month and will be fea-tured in a follow up story in The Whidbey Examiner.

Preservation: Ebey’s fundhelping history, from pg. 1

Island Transit officials are worried they may lose funding for a service that has been seeing more and more riders.

The Tri-County Connector and Everett Connector provide bus transportation from Whidbey and Camano islands to Mount Vernon and Everett. Martha Rose, execu-tive director for Island Transit, said she is concerned that the money needed to fund the connector services won’t make it into the state budget. Current funding for the pro-gram runs out June 30.

Island Transit participates in two con-nector services. The Tri-County Connec-tor connects Oak Harbor to Mount Vernon and then Bellingham. The Everett Connec-tor connects Camano Island with Everett. Ridership on the connector routes have in-creased since they were implemented.

“Tri-County and Everett has become one piece of a nice healthy puzzle,” Rose said of the two connector routes.

Island Transit officials have been busy keeping their riders abreast of the situation. They have been sending out rider alerts en-couraging people to contact their state rep-resentative.

State Rep. Dave Hayes, who is a member of the House Transportation Committee, noted that Rose has been doing a great job keeping Island Transit’s riders abreast of the situation.

The Tri-County Connector and the Ev-erett Connector are line items in the state budget. He said he is talking with legislators in districts affected by the routes along with members of the transportation committee to try to preserve the connector routes.

He said a draft of the state transporta-tion budget should be available sometime this week.

The Tri-County Connector costs approx-imately $3 million per biennium to operate and the Everett Connector costs approxi-mately $2.1 million per biennium to operate.

Both connector services started in 2006 with 55,000 Island Transit riders using the Tri-County Connector and 8,100 riders us-ing the Everett Connector.

Since its initial year, ridership on the connectors have steadily increased. In 2012, 147,000 Island Transit riders used the Tri-Connector and 45,500 riders used the Everett Connector, according to information pro-vided by Island Transit.

The connectors provide an alternative to workers who have long commutes.

Transit officials worry about connectors loss

The U.S. Navy informed Congress last week that it will invest $7 million in a new hangar at Whidbey Island Naval Air Sta-tion.

The hangar is planned to house two P-8A Poseidons, the Boeing 737-based jet sub-hunters that will serve as the replacement aircraft for the aging P-3C Orion.

“It’s time to make room, because the P-8As are coming to Whidbey Island,” Con-gressman Rick Larsen said in a news release.

“This substantial investment shows there is no question that the Navy recognizes Whidbey Island as the right place to base the P-8As,” he said.

In a statement emailed Friday, base com-mander Capt. Mike Nortier said the financial investment will be positive for the air station and Whidbey Island.

“Funding for capital improvements to

support the transition of new aircraft to NAS Whidbey Island benefits both the base and the surrounding community,” Nortier said.

In early 2011, there was a scare that the Navy was reconsidering its earlier plans to replace Orion squadrons on base with four squadrons of the new Poseidon — 24 planes total — by 2017.

Capt. Jay Johnston, the base’s former com-manding officer, said in a recent interview that the expense of building new hangars was one of the chief issues.

Base officials worked to reduce expenses by developing a new plan that would re-use some of the existing hangars but modify their doors so the larger plans can fit.

Lawmakers, such as Larsen, also advo-cated loudly on behalf of the original plan and it has since become clear that the Navy will stay the course.

Larsen announces funds for new P-8A Poseidons

Good thing coach Willie Smith has a strong heart.

His Coupeville High School baseball team won three straight one-run thrill-ers, including over Port Townsend 3-2 Saturday and South Whidbey 7-6 Monday at Robert Sherman Field.

Drew Chan’s two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning produced the tying and winning runs

against Port Townsend.Coupeville, held in check

most of the day by Port Townsend starter Cody Rus-sell, picked up a run in the third. Jake Tumblin singled, went to second on a wild pitch, stole third and scored on a balk.

The Redskins, who loaded the bases but couldn’t score in the fifth, finally scored in the sixth off four Coupeville errors. The errors were the only ones registered by the Wolves in an otherwise

“clean game,” according to coach Willie Smith.

A single, stolen base and single in the seventh put Port Townsend up 2-1.

Aaron Trumbull, who was also the winning pitcher, started the Coupeville sev-enth by ripping a grounder under the glove of the Red-skins’ diving second baseman Joe Hoffman. A pair of wild pitches moved Trumbull to third. After a strikeout, Tum-blin walked and stole second.

That brought up Chan.

The senior second baseman, after failing to get down a squeeze bunt, more than made up for the botched bunt by driving a clutch base hit up the middle for the win.

Chan wasn’t the only hero. Ben Etzell pitched the first three innings and record-ed five strikeouts. Aaron Cur-tin followed on the mound with two shutout innings. Center fielder Wade Schaef gunned down a runner at the plate in the fourth.

Trumbull finished the day with two hits, and Tumblin added three stolen bases and two runs.

The Wolves (1-2, 3-2) took advantage of South Whid-bey mistakes and used strong defense, two big innings, a clutch pinch hit and a strong relief performance to eke out the win over the Falcons (2-2, 2-2).

South Whidbey scored first, getting one in the open-ing inning off Coupeville starter Curtin.

The Wolves responded with four in their half. Tum-blin led with a single and scored on Chan’s double. Kurtis Smith later added a two-run single and then scored on a wild pickoff throw.

The Falcons evened the score with three runs in the third highlighted by Jake Sladky’s two-run home run.

In the fourth, Coupeville scored three to regain the lead for good. Curtin beat

out an infield hit, moved to second on Kurtis Smith’s bunt and scored on Kyle Bodamer’s pinch single. Two more runs scored on a Falcon error.

Trumbull took over on the mound in the fourth and scat-tered three hits and gave up only one earned run. After he walked the leadoff hitter in the seventh, Etzell took over and retired three straight to strand the tying run at sec-ond.

Schaef highlighted the Coupeville defensive effort when “he came out of no-where,” according to coach Smith, to snag a deep fly ball

to right center and hold run-ners at first and second.

Smith said, “It was a huge play for us because they score at least two if he doesn’t make the catch.”

He added, “It really was a good team win for us with a lot of different guys making key contributions throughout the game.”

No Wolf had one than one hit; Chan and Etzell doubled and Smith had two RBI.

The two teams conclude their three-game series at 4 p.m. in Coupeville Friday. The results of yesterday’s game in Langley were not available at press time.

Whew! Wolf baseball team adds 2 more 1-run wins

Wade Schaef dives safely back to first on a Port Townsend pickoff attempt Saturday.

Coupeville High School tennis team ran its record to 3-0 with a 5-0 win over visiting Archbishop Murphy Tuesday, March 19.

The Wildcats showed up with only seven players, one short required for an official team. The coaches agreed to allow ATM to use some of its players twice to give more Coupeville players court time.

Amanda d’Almeida defeated Ha-ley Sizelove 8-2 in first singles, and Allie Hanigan stopped Dana Tran 8-0 in sec-ond singles.

Holly Craggs and Iris Ryckaert won first doubles over Taylor Herrera and Madeline Hoben 8-1.

In second doubles, Ana Luvera and Mary Massengale (in her varsity debute) defeated Amy Camilleri and Lena Villani 8-2.

Coupeville won third doubles by default, but in the exhibition match, Bre-anna Koym and Emily Gallahar lost to Susana Bartra and No. 1 singles Sizelove 8-3.

In other exhibition matches, Jacki Ginnings and Micky Levine defeated ATM’s top doubles team 8-5, and McK-enzie Rice and Samantha Martin downed Murphy’s No. 2 doubles team 8-6.

The Wolves entertain Blaine (2-2) at 3:30 p.m. today.

Tennis team trips MurphyLakewood’s Antino Bellizzi

scored in the second minute of the match and that was it for the offense as the Cougars nipped the visiting Coupeville soccer team 1-0 Friday.

Coach Paul Mendes said, “The early goal was a bit of a shocker, but we recovered well to even out the game and take it to them right to the end.”

Unfortunately for the Wolves, they couldn’t punch home the equalizer though they had some chances.

Mendes said, “Jeremy

Copenhaver, who was ill the last game was back, and that helped stabilize our midfield play. We created more scor-ing opportunities than in last game, so we are making prog-ress.”

One of Coupeville’s best scoring chances came on a “spectacular overhead bicycle kick by Sean Donnelly from 12 yards,” according to Mendes. Had the Cougar keeper not re-corded the save, it would have been “the goal of the year,” Mendes said.

He added, “Kole Kellison had a good game in goal for us, and our defense put in a solid effort shutting them out the en-tire second half.”

Lakewood is now 1-1 in Cascade Conference play and 1-1-2 overall.

The Wolves (0-2, 0-3) travel to Sultan (0-2, 1-3) for a 7 p.m. match Friday, then return to Mickey Clark Field at 6 p.m. Tuesday for a show down with Archbishop Murphy (1-0, 2-0-1).

Coupeville softball team started the season with three home games, a thrilling 9-8 win over South Whidbey Tuesday, March 19, a 14-5 walloping of Port Townsend Saturday and a 11-5 loss to Archbishop Murphy Mon-day.

Against South Whid-bey, the Wolves came back three times to grab the win, including scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh. McKayla Bailey, battling through a hand injury, ripped a double to drive in the win-ning run.

Haley Sherman walked on a full count to begin the final Wolf rally. Bree Messner moved her up with a sacri-fice bunt and Chevy Reyes pushed Sherman to third with a ground out.

Down to the final strike, Madeline Strasburg fouled of several two-strike pitches

before earning a walk.With Roberts at the plate,

Sherman scored the tying run on a wild pitch. Roberts walked, which brought up Bailey, setting up the game-winning double.

Co-coach David King said, “Very windy and cold, the weather affected both teams on defense. A normal fly ball made it an adventure in the field.”

“It wasn’t a pretty game due to weather and first-game nerves,” King said, “but we didn’t give up and kept bat-tling. It was a good win to get and we know what we need to work on to continue to get better.”

Bessie Walstad and Hailey Hammer each finished with two singles.

Port Townsend jumped on the Wolves right away, scor-ing three runs in the top of the first inning. Undaunted, Coupeville scored nine in is half. Four walks and singles by Bailey, Sherman, Messner

and Madeline Strasburg did much of the early damage, then Roberts finished the big inning by lashing a two-run

triple. Bailey led the offensive as-

sault with two hits, including a home run, and pitched the

final two innings, recording two strikeouts.

Messner, Strasburg and Hammer each had two hits.

Maria Rockwell earned the pitching win, working the first five innings for four strikeouts, four hits and two earned runs.

Archbishop Murphy col-lected its first win and Coupe-ville suffered its first loss.

Murphy (1-3, 1-5) went up 6-0, then Coupeville scored five in the fourth. Singles by Roberts, Hammer and Wal-stad loaded the bases. Rob-erts scored on a passed ball, then with two outs, Messner walked to reload the bases. Reyes walked, forcing in one run, then Strasburg ripped a base hit that cleared the bases.

However, from there the Wildcats kept scoring and the Wolves faded.

Coupeville collected eight hits, led by Walstad with three and Hammer with two.

Neither team committed an error.

The Wolves (1-1, 2-1) host Sultan (2-1, 3-2) at 4 p.m. to-morrow.

Office gets ‘flocked’

Megan Hansen photo

Staff arrived at The Whidbey Examiner office Monday morning to find it had been “flamin-goed” by the Coupeville High School Class of 2014.

The Whidbey Examiner office was the latest stopping point for the ongoing “Wan-dering Flamingos” fundraiser.

The project is put on by the Coupeville High School Class of 2014 and raises money for the high school’s ASB program.

While traditionally used in lawns, the class improvised, installing the birds wher-ever they could.

In addition to the brightly-colored lawn ornaments, the office received written in-structions on how to pass the flock on to someone else.

The cost is a $10 donation. Prior to resting in Coupe’s Village, the

flock strayed to Shelli Trumbull’s Cascade Insurance office.

They took flight from there and stopped in for some light reading.

Recipients of the flamingoes may also pay for “insurance” to ensure the pink visi-tors don’t come by again.

Flamingoes may be passed on to busi-nesses or private residences from Rolling Hills to Greenbank.

Trips outside the boundaries will cost extra.

Keep an eye for the traveling pink flock. They might be headed your way!
