“Given the historical and projected bluff retreat rate for the project area and the pres-ence of relatively weak fill soils along much of the bluff, it is our opinion that the risk of landslide-related damage to the roadway with-in a 50-year time period is moderate to high,” the report said.

“As previously discussed, bluff retreat is not typically a gradual process, but rather oc-curs as a result of episodic landslide events,” it said.

In January, a section of bluff between North East Clapp and North East Gould streets began to rapidly erode and threaten a gravel sidewalk.

The consulting firm was hired to evaluate the situation, determine why the erosion was occurring and come up with possible solu-tions.

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said Monday the report made clear several things; it’s unlikely the bluff will collapse tomorrow but the unexpected headache will be a long-term problem.

“There is no question erosion is going to continue,” Conard said.

The firm recommended the problem be tackled with a stabilization technique that uses soldier piles.

Basically a retaining wall, long “H” beams are pounded vertically into the ground and boards are stacked horizontally between the trees of the posts.

The report also suggests the installation of eight monitoring stations along that section of Front Street. They would provide statisti-cal evidence and early warning of pending

Island mourns three killed in Prowler crash

Steady erosion over the next 50 years may damage portions of Front Street as well as dent the town’s pocket book.

Fixing a problem area of about 400 feet now may cost Coupeville as much as $260,000, according to a town-hired consultant.

Associated Earth Sciences, a Kirkland-based geotechnical engineering firm, recently released a geologic hazards assessment of the entire North East Front Street marine bluff area.

The report was initiated following sudden erosion between North East Clapp and Gould streets this past January.

Along with an explanation of why the area is eroding – largely the result of wave action – the analysis noted cracks in the street’s pave-ment at five points along the street, some of which “are suggestive of possible deeper-seat-ed slope movements in those areas.”

The firm estimated bluff erosion at about five centimeters a year.

That tabs out to more than eight feet by 2063, but damage to the street will most likely be the result of a series of small slides, accord-ing to the report.

A later study by a geotechnical engineering firm has determined that the area will continue to erode and is recom-mending stabilization.

The Whidbey Island community is mourning the loss of three crew members aboard a Whidbey Island Naval Air Sta-tion EA-6B Prowler who were killed Mon-day when the aircraft crashed in Eastern Washington.

They were identified Tuesday evening as Lt. Valerie Delaney, 26, of Ellicott City, Md., Lt. William McIlvaine III, 24, of El Paso, Texas and Lt. Cmdr. Alan Patterson, 34, of Tullahoma, Tenn.

The Prowler crashed during routine training 50 miles west of Spokane.

The aircraft was assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron 129.

“I understand they were training out there,” said Mike Welding, public affairs officer for the Naval Air Station. “We have training routes in Eastern Washington and Oregon.”

The community quickly rallied in sup-port of the fallen airmen, organizing a candlelight vigil Monday evening.

More than 100 people attended.“It’s hard. These families are going

through hell,” resident Andy Mahoney said during a prayer he offered. “They’re going to need their community to rally around them.”

Matt Oliver, minister at Oak Harbor Church of Christ, also offered a prayer.

“I give thanks for being of a commu-nity that would lift these folks up to you,” he said.

Capt. Mike Nortier, the commanding officer of NAS Whidbey Island, released a statement thanking the community for the outpouring of support.

“This is a time for reflection and un-derstanding,” he said. “These young aviators selflessly served their nation and its citizens. They were truly among our nation’s best and brightest. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their friends, fellow squadron members and especially their families.”

While the community grieves, Navy investigators are looking into the cause of the accident.

Lt. Aaron V. Kakiel, a public affairs officer, said there’s an automatic safety in-vestigation, plus the squadron commanded may ask for a parallel “JAG manual inves-tigation.”

He said the safety investigation will like-ly take a couple of months. He said it won’t be made public.

“It’s about what happened and what he can learn from it,” he said. “It’s not about assigning blame.”

A controversial proposal to clear the way for no-shoot-ing rules in Island County was shot down this week.

On Wednesday, Republi-can Island County commis-sioners Kelly Emerson and Jill Johnson refused the pleas of Democrat Commissioner Helen Price Johnson to con-tinue the discussion at a later meeting. Instead, they opted to kill the unpopular propos-al once and for all.

The hot button issue, was under debate since last sum-mer.

It again drew a large crowd this week, including a TV news crew.

While most in attendance were critics of the proposal, a few supporters were sprin-kled among the audience.

“To say we’re disappoint-ed is an understatement,” said Jack Lyons, a resident of Norcliffe.

Norcliffe, Sea View and Tilbury residents sparked the creation of the controversial proposal last year when they signed a petition and asked the county commissioners to ban shooting in their com-munity.

One of their neighbors has a firing range on his property, and they told the commis-sioners they believe it’s a safety risk.

The board declined to approve the request outright but agreed to begin drafting standards that communities would need to meet before the commissioners will con-sider shooting bans in their areas.

Lyons and other residents assisted in the process, vol-unteering hundreds of hours of their time. They examined the codes of all 39 counties in the state and said they found that 22 already have similar rules in place for densely- populated areas.

The proposal stalled late last year in the wake of a public outcry against it, and because the plan’s primary sponsor, former Commis-sioner Angie Homola, was unseated by Johnson.

The issue was slated to be discussed again Wednesday but was put on the table two days ahead of schedule.

Emerson, a critic of the proposal, was running Mon-day’s meeting and made a surprise request to settle the issue that day.

Emerson said the intent

was to not to waste any more time on a proposal supported by “only one board member.”

The county doesn’t have resources to administer the new rules, she said, add-ing the population base on Whidbey or Camano islands doesn’t justify their creation.

“I would be willing to table this item indefinitely un-til a time in which changes in the demographics of the area show more of a need for this,” Emerson said.

Helen Price Johnson, the board’s chairwoman at the time and the sole remaining

supporter of the proposal, was out of town and was un-able to join the meeting by telephone as planned.

Though the room was filled with property rights and Second Amendment ad-vocates who were highly criti-cal of the draft rules, Johnson didn’t support Emerson’s request for an early vote for reasons of public trust.

Johnson said she believes the proposal “goes too far in addressing a particular neigh-borhood’s concerns” and that the county already has an elected public safety officer charged with making deci-sions of pubic safety — Island County Sheriff Mark Brown.

Johnson made it clear that she fully intended to vote against the draft ordinance, but that she would be doing so on Wednesday, the day the public was told it would be discussed.

“I understand I have the right to do it right now, but it’s important that we are honest and predictable with the public, and we told them we’d be talking about it on Wednesday,” she said.

Waiting would allow Price Johnson the chance to weigh in, she added.

“If there was an issue that was valuable to me, I would

not want to be left out of that part of the discussion … nor would I predict that you liked it, Commissioner Emerson, when it was happening to you,” Johnson said.

“The best way to lead is by example.”

Emerson responded by saying she didn’t feel it was “good management practice” to needlessly delay the issue.

Emerson later added that her request was not an at-tempt at subterfuge or to get something done while Price Johnson was absent.

“I have no reservations of representing my people with her being here,” Emerson said.

Both commissioners stuck to their guns Wednes-day, agreeing not to move forward with the proposal for the reasons they mentioned Monday.

Price Johnson, who was again not physically present, participated in the meeting by telephone. She pleaded with her colleagues to post-pone the decision to another Monday meeting, during which the public could voice its concerns.

When that didn’t work, she went on the offense, ques-tioning Island County Sheriff Mark Brown about how he

would feel if it were his chil-dren or grandchildren who lived next door to the firing range.

“Would you feel they were safe?” she asked.

Brown, who was asked to weigh in at the meeting, maintained his position that the firing range under dispute is not unsafe, nor is there statistical data of a public safety issue warranting the ordinance.

While the range is close to other homes, similar risk is taken every day by driv-ers when other vehicles pass them in the opposite direc-tion and high speeds, he said.

In both cases, Brown said, disaster could occur if a driv-er crosses the center line or a shooter aims in the wrong direction.

Several of those who spoke against the shooting rules this week said they are relieved the issue is finally put to rest.

“There’s no reason for it,” said Mike Gallion, a Free-land resident who has a small firing range on his property.

Gallion said he believes the proposal was an affront to his First, Second and Fourth Amendment rights and. He said public safety concerns are nothing more than a smokescreen for the real issue — noise.

“This is not about safety,” Gallion said.

“It’s about sound.”Ray Gabelein, also of

Freeland, said he also had serious doubts that admin-istration of the rules would have resulted in fair decision making.

Also, such decisions should not be made by the board, he said.

“This is simple,” Gabe-lein said. “If the sheriff feels the need, let him bring it for-ward.”

According to Lyons, noise was never the issue.

This is a matter of public safety and one the commu-nity can’t afford to simply give up.

Bilingual student strives for success

By Betty FreemanStaff Reporter

Coupeville High School senior Vanessa Ber-nales, 18, moved here with her family from the Philippines when she was just seven years old. Her parents came here to find a better life for their family.

Entering the American culture at such a young age was a challenge, and her first task was to learn English.

“I had a speech therapist at elementary school in Oak Harbor who taught me to read, write and speak English,” said Bernales.

“Having to learn English was one of my stum-bling blocks,” she said. “So when I had to write an essay for college applications, I wrote about that stumbling block and how I overcame it with help from teachers.”

“I feel like I’ve adapted well,” said Bernales. Bernales still speaks some Tagalog, and has

been back to the Philippines twice on visits to ex-tended family there.

Her family moved to Coupeville when she was in the fifth grade, and she lives with her mother Jodalyn, stepfather Kevin Bailey and half-sister Kelyn, who is 8 years old.

Her father Joseph Bernales, stepmother Ashley and half brother Blake live in Oak Harbor.

“I have a big supportive family,” said Bernales.“My mom is especially pushy about getting an

education. All my family believes I can make a better life for myself with a good education,” Ber-nales said.

Bernales has been accepted at her “first choice” school, Western Washington University in Bellingham. She plans to study psychology, an option inspired by her high school psychology and chemistry teacher, Brian Wood.

“Before junior year, I wondered if I was smart enough to go to college,” said Bernales. “Then Mr. Wood inspired me to apply myself in both sci-ence and psychology.”

“He’s such a good teacher, with lots of energy,” Bernales said. “You can tell he loves teaching and

he makes everything easy to understand and fun to learn.”

“Because of him, I really like science,” she said. “I want to see where it takes me.”

Bernales recently participated with the Coupe-ville High School Team at the regional Science Olympiad event.

As for deciding to major in Psychology, Ber-nales is motivated to “help children and anyone I can,” she said.

“What I’ve learned about mental disabilities has made me feel that if people knew more, it would be easier for them to get better,” said Ber-nales.

Someday she hopes to be a counselor or a clin-ical psychologist in a hospital.

Bernales’ mom does adult care in their Coupe-ville home, and Vanessa has helped out there when needed.

At CHS, Bernales has been active in National Honor Society, soccer, and as a member of the yearbook staff.

In the summer, she has worked in her aunt’s daycare and year round she’s involved teaching Sunday school at her church, Calvary Chapel.

Other volunteer experience includes partici-pation in Leo’s Club, a teen offshoot of the Lions service club.

“At Christmas, Leo’s Club had a bake sale to raise money to give a local family a nice Christ-mas,” she said. “It was a good feeling to be part of that. I can see that I can make people happy.”

After a July trip to Hawaii with her grandpar-ents and a possible summer job, Bernales said she is excited to start college it the fall. She said she knows she’ll miss her friends here though.

“I’ve had the best friends here in Coupeville,” she said. “They’ve helped me become who I am.”

Hospital tour offers education and inside look

Do you know what will get a classroom of excited fourth-graders to stand in complete silence against a wall?

Promise to show them a newborn baby.A fourth-grade class from Coupeville Elementary

School did just that last week as I joined them on a tour of Whidbey General Hospital.

I have to say I was pretty impressed. These kids were already amped up from seeing

a helicopter fly in just for them, demonstrations on how to put a splint on someone and even — gasp — a bag of blood.

Mrs. Waller’s class went from on the verge of rau-cous to stone-cold silent with the promise of seeing the newborn.

But as soon as the nurse stepped out with that bundle of joy, the low-pitches squeals slipped out, but only for a moment.

Visiting the maternity ward at the hospital was just one of many stops during the class tour.

Whidbey General Hospital put together a three- hour visit with the class.

Michele Renninger, who does community out-reach for the hospital, said her job is about help-ing people understand the hospital isn’t just a place people go when they get sick, but a place people go to stay healthy.

She said she tries to help kids feel comfortable with being in the hospital environment.

Last week’s tour was a collaboration between Renninger and Dr. Helene Lhamon, who works in the hospital’s emergency room.

Lhamon has a daughter in Mrs. Waller’s class. Cathrine Lhamon helped staff demonstrate how they put a splint on someone.

She wore that splint throughout the entire tour and even let people in the waiting room know she re-ally didn’t hurt her wrist.

While I was not only impressed with how well-mannered Mrs. Waller’s class was, I was equally impressed with the hospital and the effort it put into providing education to the class and to the public.

To see images of our hospital tour, check out the photo display on the back page of this week’s edition of The Whidbey Examiner.

Navy needs updated training locations

Editor,Touch-and-go practice at Navy’s

Outlying Field differs from the jet noise in Oak Harbor, which in most areas oc-curs for brief sporadic intervals, mostly from afar, throughout the day.

At OLF the attendant noise is liter-ally on top of you and constant during a practice session, (~40 minutes), involv-ing the circling of two to four jets. After a brief break, one session is usually fol-lowed by more. While a single session is certainly bearable, the effects on life magnify with each added session. Ses-sions can start in the morning and go on until after midnight, and this can be five days a week over multiple weeks.

In Admirals Cove, noise levels cycle up and down as each jet circles across the cove. With four jets circling, the low-est outside noise levels of 60-70 decibels (dB) last about 20 seconds. Intensity increases to 110-120 dB for 15 seconds as the each jet crosses overhead. Inside lev-els are about 10 dB less.

Sound intensity doubles every for every 3 dB increase, so at 110 dB sound intensity is about 256 times louder than at 85 dB, the threshold for hearing dam-

age requiring hearing protection.During sessions, some cove residents

report becoming physically ill; others get headaches or tinnitus. Forget mak-ing business or personal phone calls or entertaining friends inside, let alone outside.

Forget radio or TV or conversing with neighbors. Many find it impossible to go to sleep. Children may have trouble focusing on homework. Those doing outside housework, walks, etc., need to keep their ear plugs or muffs at ready access.

And aside from effects on quality of life, effects of noise on adult, child and prenatal health are quite profound. The Navy recognizes the egregiousness of the problem elsewhere.

In Washington County, N.C., where an OLF was recently proposed, the Navy iteratively documents their need to buy up the land/residences within the area where noise levels would exceed 60 dB. In doing so, the Navy admits, de facto, that Growler noise greater than 60 dB is a legitimate problem they had to address via resident relocation. Are Washington state residents less impor-tant than Washington county residents?

Taxpayers have gotten their bang for the buck out of OLF, which has served our country for over 70 years. During

that time the understanding of noise im-pacts have advanced, while the island’s demographics and the jets have changed dramatically in incompatible ways. The Navy may be comfortable with the OLF, but it’s time to get the elephant OLF out of bed and moved to a 21st century loca-tion.

Judge Richard Lewis (Dick) Pitt, 85, passed away on March 1, 2013 at his home in Langley. He was born on May 28, 1927 in Moscow, Idaho to Perry and Alice Pitt.

Dick graduated from Jenkins High School in Chewelah, Wash. in 1945 and joined the Army. He was stationed in Germany where he served as a tank opera-tor and military police after WWII. After his service he attended Gonzaga Universi-ty Law School in Spokane.

Dick began his career as House Counsel for All-state Insurance Company in Seattle. After moving to Whidbey Island, he served as Island County prosecut-ing attorney/coroner/juvenile probation officer and Lang-ley city Aattorney. In 1968 he became a partner at the Pat-rick, Zylstra & Pitt law firm in Oak Harbor. In 1977 he

was ap-pointed Supe-rior Court judge for Island and San Juan counties by then Gover-

nor Dixy Lee Ray, where he served with distinction until 1993. He was also a long time member of the Oak Harbor Lions Club.

His interests were boat-ing, world travel (visited 40 foreign countries), golf, ski-ing, gardening, and most of all his family.

He is survived by his wife Grace, sons Rick (wife Vicky) and Craig (wife Sarah), and granddaughter Rachel (husband Justin). He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Rlyn.

Dick was a kind-hearted person with an infectious laugh and a zest for life. He will be greatly missed and long remembered. A celebration of his life is 2-4

Group hopes to run farm to 2015By Nathan WhalenStaff Reporter

Because of a leasing problem, the Greenbank Farm Management Group could be forced to pay back $1.5 million in state funds.

The group, which over-sees day-to-day operations of the publicly owned Green-bank Farm, has a lease with the Port of Coupeville that expires March 31, 2014; how-ever, an agreement with the state commerce department that provided funding for new buildings doesn’t expire until at least June 2015.

“We are at risk of hav-ing to pay the state back a million-and-a-half dollars,” Greenbank Farm Manage-ment Group president Mi-chael Stansbury said during last week.

The contract with what was then known as the De-partment of Community

Trade and Economic Devel-opment has clause that states the management group must hold and use the buildings funded by the grant for a pe-riod of 10 years.

That 10-year period start-ed in June 2005.

Stansbury apologized to the crowd.

He said the lease problem isn’t something the man-agement group sought, but something that came up due to research a volunteer group conducted concerning future management of the Greenbank Farm.

“It’s not anything we sought out, it’s something that was thrust on us,” Stansbury said.

The issue caused port commissioners to pause in the work to determine how the farm will be managed af-ter the current lease expires.

“We’re in no-man’s land. I don’t know how we can

talk about transition models when we don’t know the end date,” commissioner Laura Blankenship said during the meeting.

The port could simply let the current lease expire.

Port of Coupeville ex-ecutive director Jim Patton said the port’s attorney has researched the issue. There isn’t any indication that there was any reason for the man-agement group to vacate the farm at lease end.

In researching the issue, Patton said the port’s lawyer found communication be-tween the Greenbank Farm and the state Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development — the predecessor to the state Department of Commerce, that said in 2006 that the state agency has no objection to early termination.

Stansbury Wednes-day morning produced

documentation signed by a department of commerce official stating the agency won’t wave the hold and use requirement for the manage-ment group.

A spokesperson for the Washington State De-partment of Commerce is researching the apparent discrepancy, but couldn’t yet provide clarification.

Patton said after the meeting the commissioners will continue discussing the issue and will likely make one of three choices — they can let the lease expire, ex-tend the lease or approve a new one that allows the management group to meet their legal requirements.

“They have to decide whether to leave the Green-bank Farm Management Group twisting in the wind after 2014 or provide them legal cover,” Patton said. weeks.

GRAY WHALES

GRAY WHALES 100' MYSTIC SEAMarch 8 - April 29

In a recent column I wrote about the kinds of shrubs to avoid when plant-ing a hedge. The laurel and boxwood lovers out there have probably put me on their hit list. Having been commandeered to prune back the laurel, boxwood and privet at our former home for seventeen years straight, I’m taking nothing back. Fire away.

However, in a good faith effort to convert some of you conventional hedge types to a more relaxed kind of gardening, I’d like to offer this olive branch in the form of ideas for other, less formal, kinds of hedges.

Forsythia makes a ter-rific splash of bright yellow in the early spring when planted in rows. This is a shrub you do not want to prune into a classic hedge shape because it blooms on old wood.

Instead, after it blooms take out about a third of the oldest shoots at ground level.

If you’ve let your for-sythia get super overgrown, sacrifice flowers for the next year and cut it all down to within a few inches of the ground.

It may not serve as a hedge for the coming year, but it will come back in bet-ter shape the following year.

If you don’t have any flowering red current, run out and buy some, either the native Ribes sanguine-um you can find growing in our woods, or any of the cultivated varieties.

It’s putting out shoots right now and getting ready to display its joyful racemes

of bright pink flowers. I have to say this is the one plant that pulls me out of the grey weather doldrums every year, even more so than the tulips and daf-fodils.

Since we’re on the sub-ject of native plants, I’d like people to stop taking our evergreen huckleber-ries (Vaccinium ovatum) for granted. Just because they grow on the side of the highway doesn’t mean they won’t make a beautiful hedge at home.

Their foliage is glossy green and sometimes red-dens up with anthocyanins in the bright sun. Plus, they can be heavy fruit bearers. And if you’ve priced wild huckleberries lately, you know they’re worth their weight in gold.

On the other end of the fruit spectrum, you could try your hand at espaliered fruit trees. Espalier is the art of training a tree to grow along a vertical plane, either on a wall or trellis, or along an armature of wires between posts.

This will take even more careful pruning than cutting a shrub into a box shape, but at least there will be fewer cuts! The end re-sult can be quite beautiful, as well as a productive way to raise tree fruit.

Finally, with over 1,500 varieties to choose from, bamboo should definitely be on your list of hedging plants.

It can remain quite short or tower over 30 meters, and it grows very, very fast.

Either be careful to choose a clumping variety or install a barrier made out of thick plastic or con-crete to a depth of at least 25 inches around your root balls.

Too bad the tall varieties don’t come with sword-wielding, battling ninjas like in the movies. That’d be even cooler than garden gnomes.

Live the Island Dream…

By Jim WallerStaff Reporter

Several Coupeville High School graduates recently completed successful winter sports seasons at the colle-giate level.

Kyle King finished his indoor track eligibility at the University of Oklahoma after running three seasons for Eastern Washington Univer-sity. At the Razorback Clas-sic Jan. 25, King ran the 3,000 in 8:12.09, the 10th best in-door time in Sooner history.

His top finish of 2013 came at the Martin Invita-tional in Norman, Okla., Jan. 19 when he finished second in the mile (4:17.09). His time was seventh best among Sooners in 2013.

At the Husky Classic at the University of Washing-ton Feb. 9, King competed against his brother, Tyler, in the 3,000. Tyler clocked the better time, 8:07.38, in section 2. Kyle finished 19th in sec-tion one in 8:12. Tyler’s time was best for the UW in the event this season.

Tyler, a sophomore, fin-ished 12th in the 5,000 meters in 4:21.44, and first among Huskies, at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in-door championships Feb. 23 and 24.

Rachel Weinstein cur-rently competes for the Uni-versity of Redlands (Red-lands, Calif.) swim team. The sophomore helped the 400 medley squad to third in the Southern California Intercol-legiate Athletic Conference meet Feb. 17-19.

She was also 18th in the 200 breaststroke and 25th in the 500 free at the league

meet.Weinstein won the 200

breaststroke in a tri-meet at La Verne Jan. 26, and she was second in the 200 breast and third in the 100 breast at Pomona-Pitzer Jan. 19. Wein-stein recorded a season-best (2:31.75) while finishing sec-ond in the 200 breast against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Feb. 2.

Coupeville’s Dylan Tack runs indoor track at the Unit-ed States Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point, N.Y.) and placed 15th at the East-ern College Athletic Confer-ence championships in the 500 meters in 1:07.54 March 1. The time was a personal record and good enough for 12th best all-time at the Academy.

Earlier in the season, he ran the fourth fastest 600-me-ter time (1:25.16) in USMMA history.

He joined three other teammates to set a Land-mark Conference record in the distance medley relay (10:33.87) at the Fasttrack Challenge in New York City Feb. 16. At the Landmark Conference meet Feb. 14, he was fifth in the 400 and earned all-conference hon-ors by placing second in the 4x400 relay (3:30.54).

During the regular sea-son, the 4x400 team ran a 3:28.09, fastest indoor time in Landmark Conference his-tory.

Coach Greg Lott, noting the freshman’s achievements, said, “Tack had a stellar sea-son for the Mariners.”

Cody Peters. a 6-6 junior, plays basketball for the Ever-green State College (Olympia) and is a leader on the Geo-ducks’ stat sheet.

He was first in free throws made (66), free throws at-tempted (102) and defensive rebounds (109). Peters ranked second in scoring (10.3 points per game), total rebounds (145), blocked shots (15) and minutes played (691); and fourth in three-pointers (21), steals (19) and field goal per-centage (38.6).

Five times he led his team in scoring, hitting a season high 24 against Lewis-Clark State Dec. 7. The 24 points was one shy of the team’s in-dividual high for the season.

Jason Bagby, a 6-4 sopho-more basketball player at Ya-kima Valley Community Col-lege, helped the Yaks (10-4, 20-8) to a second-place finish in the Eastern Division.

Bagby scored 64 points, with a season high of 12, for a 2.78 average. He also col-lected 35 rebounds, 17 steals and six blocked shots.

Yakima head coach Ray Funk said, “It’s been fun having Jason in the program for the past two years. He’s the product of a great fam-ily and I can’t say enough about their selfless support of the program. (Jason’s) been a key program guy and one who’s always ready when called upon. He has a strong work ethic and makes things happen with his effort and energy.”

Coupeville grads compete on college sports stage

Coupeville graduate Dylan Tack, right, runs to a conference meet qualifying time in the 500 meters early this season for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Coupeville High School soccer team warmed up for the regular season with two ties in exhibition matches at the jamboree at Mickey Clark Field Saturday.

The Wolves tied South Whidbey 1-1 and Lake Ste-vens 0-0 in the 20-minute mini-games.

Coupeville coach Paul Mendes said, “It was a good day for us, playing against two quality teams. The ex-perience served to give us an idea of our current level.”

Against South Whid-bey, the Falcons scored first. Six minutes into the game a through ball gave South Whidbey a one-on-one

chance and the Falcons con-verted.

Mendes said, “We did not get too rattled and fought back with a goal of our own with five minutes left.”

A throw in play from Josh Wilsey set up Jeremy Copen-haver, who was open in the goal mouth.

“Jeremy calmly settled the pass on his first touch, picked a corner and put it in their net,” Mendes said.

Against Lake Stevens, Mendes said the Wolves’ de-fense was challenged again and “held up well.”

The jamboree gave several Coupeville players their first taste of varsity soccer, and

Mendes noted that it was evi-dent that the returning play-ers “stepped up their game from last year.”

He said, “Luke Pelant and Josh Wilsey lead our defense, which was tested numerous

times. “Our midfield leaders,

Nathan Lamb and Sean Donley, linked up well with forward Jeremy Copenhaver to create scoring opportuni-ties.

“Kole Kellison was our goal keeper for both games, and also held up well in our first test.”

Coupeville travels twice next week, playing at 6 p.m. at Cedarcrest Tuesday and at 7 p.m. at Lakewood Friday.

ground-surface movement or insta-bility of the bluff.

According to the report, sta-bilizing the 50-foot area between Clapp and Gould alone would cost $50,000. Every additional 50 feet would cost $30,000 – totaling $260,000 for the 400-foot study area – but only if all the work is done at

once.Doing all of Front Street be-

tween Gould and North Main streets would run over $1 million.

Cost of the monitoring was not estimated in the study.

Conard said this was not a planned expenditure and the town simply doesn’t have the money to do

everything. The consulting firm was asked to

look at less expensive alternatives, such as soft-shore armoring, anoth-er erosion warding technique that uses vegetation and driftwood.

The issue was planned for dis-cussion at a town council work-shop Tuesday but the meeting was

after press time and could not be reported on.

Conard said no decisions were expected to be made at the meeting but it’s hard to predict how the issue will ultimately be resolved.

The bluff might be shored up with one or various stabilization techniques and the monitoring sta-

tions installed. It could also be the the problem is mitigated by turning parts of Front Street into a one way.

What is clear is that January’s erosion surprise will be an issue dealt with over years and will re-quire both attention and resources.

“This thing really took the lid off a big can of worms,” Conard said.

A Crew from Airlift Northwest flew in especially to meet with the class. Students learned that people are airlifted from the hos-pital for a variety of reasons and not just when a major accident occurs.

Health 101:Coupeville students get lesson from WGH

It was an especially fun day last week for one Coupeville Elementary School class.

Patsi Waller’s fourth grade class spent last Wednesday morning learning the ins and outs of Whidbey General Hos-pital.

The tour came about as a way to educate the students about what the hospital does.

It was also about making it less scary in the instance a child may need to come to the hospital, said Michele Renninger, community outreach coordinator for the hospital.

One of Renninger’s main jobs , she said, is to educate the public that the hospital isn’t just a place to go when you’re sick, but rather a place to go to stay healthy.

While the tour wasn’t built into her curriculum, Waller said her students will utilize the experience in a variety of ways in the classroom including writing lessons and projects.

During the tour, students got to see an Airlift Northwest helicopter, visit the emergency room to experience some first-aid and see x-rays in diagnostic imaging. In each department the students learned what types of tests or procedures were conducted there and why people would visit that portion of the hospital.

She wore the splint through the tour and showed her classmates how the once flexible material hardened over time.
