For 20 years, Lyla and Phil Snover have cultivated and cared for Coupeville’s trea-sured winter guests.

Each holiday season, sometime between Thanksgiving and the first Saturday in De-cember, smiling-faced snow people start lining the streets.

For one month a year more, than 100 ply-wood snow people fill most nooks and cran-nies.

It’s something a lot of people look forward to, especially Coupeville Mayor Nancy Co-nard.

She was kind of the catalyst for the project in 1994 after discovering a love for the cheery winter character.

Lyla said it was during a parks and rec commission meeting the topic was broached.

“Nancy said, ‘I wish we could have snow-men all over the town,’ ” Lyla recalls.

She then went on to discuss logistics and wondered who would be able to cut out the plywood characters.

“I said, ‘Phil can do it,’ ” Lyla said. “There are a lot of things I get volunteered

for ,and I don’t even know,” Phil added.“It’s called spousal support,” Lyla re-

sponds with laughter.The first year, Phil cut out 6-8 snow people

and a small group gathered to help paint them. They were put up along Main Street for all to see.

“It was well received,” Conard said. “We kept paying for the plywood and people paint-ed them.

“People started showing up to help. Now she’s got a whole squad to help her.”

Each year the population has grown. What started as a dozen snow people has grown to an estimated 132.

Although over the years, Lyla guesses they’ve done around 200, counting ones that have had to be remade.

“I’ve only wore out one saw…so far,” Phil jokes.

It’s a labor of love, with a core group of people tasked with the honor.

But it isn’t just a month-long project.For 11 months out of the year, most of

the snow people are housed in the Snovers’ garage. Each year the Snovers and volunteers carefully inspect each one, repairing them and touching up paint.

“I’m not very good at painting them,” Lyla said. “Over the years I’ve got better.”

But as the project has grown, so has the help. Lyla now calls on the help of volunteers like artist Chuck Poust, who is now tasked with doing all of the lettering, or Vicky Reyes, who’s helped the last couple of years touching

There are two things Larry Cort’s friends, colleagues and admirers need to know.

First, the former Coupeville coun-cilman and planning director made it through brain surgery last Wednesday with flying colors.

Second, his trademark mop of wild hair is intact.

His wife, Lisbeth Cort, sounded over-joyed in a phone call from Swedish Medi-cal Center in Seattle Thursday. She said he was already out of intensive care and was doing great.

“Less than 24 hours after surgery, he’s talking and doing everything,” she said. “It’s fabulous.

“There’s no reason to believe he won’t make a full recovery,” she said.

She said surgeons successfully removed a mass from his brain and it’s being tested to figure out what it is.

The couple knew something was wrong when Larry Cort’s speech had become garbled, his wife explained. They were worried he may have had a small stroke and went to Whidbey General Hospital on Sunday.

He had a brief seizure at the hospital and jerked so hard he broke his shoulder, Lisbeth Cort said.

Doctors found a mass in his brain.Larry Cort, currently the Oak Har-

bor city administrator, was transferred to Swedish Medical for surgery, which only required shaving “a tiny little spot on the back of his head,” Lisbeth Cort said.

“He’s still got his wild hair,” she said.Next, he will have to have surgery to

repair his shoulder.The council meeting was somber

Tuesday night with Larry Cort’s absence. Council members took turns wishing him well.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley vis-ited Larry Cort at the hospital Wednesday and said the couple appeared to be very optimistic.

Lisbeth Cort said they’ve been over-whelmed with the support from the com-munity.

“Larry and I both appreciate all the love and support,” she said.

It might be awhile before he gets back, but Larry Cort is ever the conscientious leader.

“He said he was glad that he and Doug (Merriman) got the budget gap filled be-fore he left,” Lisbeth Cort said.

Coupeville High School students last week loaded thousands of items of food collected for Gifts From the Heart food bank. The annual school food drive is the food bank’s largest food drive of the year, said Molly Hughes, food bank president. They have already collected more than 2,500 items during the three-week drive and have decided to extend their food drive to Dec. 5.

Coupeville Wharf will play host to 150 youth sail-ors during an interscholastic sailing competition in April.

Oak Harbor Youth Sail-ing was asked to host the Northwest Interscholastic Sailing Association 2015 Double Handed District Championships April 24-26.

Erik Mann, volunteer in-structor and board member for the organization, said the group wants to host the event in Penn Cove because the cove is deeper than the waters in Oak Harbor.

He requested exclusive use of the wharf docks for that weekend from the Port of Coupeville.

“This sounds like a great opportunity for the kids, the port and the town,” said port commissioner Bill Larsen.

Approximately 150 sail-ors with 30 two-person sail-ing dinghies from all over the Pacific Northwest will compete in the two-day re-gatta. Practice will be held that Friday.

The event will also bring in additional people, includ-ing family members and other spectators.

The board of commis-sioners for the port approved the use of the wharf that weekend and the Coupe-ville Chamber of Commerce stepped up to help cover some of the costs the use of the wharf will incur.

Mann said he is working on getting the sailors housed at Camp Casey, but that some schools opt to seek their own lodging and some parents will probably seek lodging elsewhere in town.

“It’s going to bring a lot of economic opportunities for the town,” said commis-sioner Marshal Bronson. “It’s good publicity, a good activity for the port.”

Mann has already sub-mitted a special event permit application with the Town of Coupeville and has request-ed use of the boat launch that weekend.

Teams and spectators will stage on the wharf and boat rotations will take place from the wharf.

Hearts & Hammers seeking applicationsHomeowners with lim-

ited resources and are un-able to do necessary work on their home are in luck. Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers is seeking applica-tions for its workday blitz on Saturday, May 2.

Homeowners from Greenbank to Coupeville with limited resources to maintain their homes can apply directly for help at www.cwheartsandhammers.com or call 360-720-2114.

This all-volunteer, non-

profit organization assists homeowners who are physi-cally or financially unable to do needed work on their houses themselves.

The deadline for getting a house on the list is Satur-day, Jan. 31.

The group also offers emergency repair through-out the year through its Home Emergency Action Repair Team (HEART).

Hearts & Hammers is a nonprofit program that is supported by the larg-

er community, including churches, schools, service and community organiza-tions, businesses and indi-viduals.

A typical one-day vol-unteer effort includes, but is not limited to, projects such as roof or gutter repairs, wheelchair ramps, yard clean-up, plumbing repairs, electrical repairs and deck repairs.

If you are a homeowner in financial need within the Coupeville School District, call 360-720-2114.

A Hearts & Hammers intake volunteer will ask a few questions that will get applicants started through the process.

The holidays are busy for many people, but this time of year can also be hard for ani-mals, especially ones that are newly joining a family.

“It’s stressful for a new pet during the holidays,” said Shari Bibich, the manager at Whidbey Animals’ Improve-ment Foundation Coupeville shelter.

Bibich recommends adopting a pet now, before “the hustle and bustle of the holidays.”

One of the many pets at WAIF’s Coupeville shelter is Brody, an energetic pug mix.

Nicole Parra, an employee who has been with WAIF about two years, said she thinks Brody is mixed with terrier because of his wirier hair.

Brody likes to tug on his leash and jump up, though he doesn’t bark too much. He does, however, sneeze, which comes out as a snort because of his smushed-up face.

And while WAIF esti-mates him to be 2-4 years old, he looks older because of his white beard, Parra said.

Brody is “friendly and loving,” according to WAIF’s website. He came in as a stray and has been at the shelter for a little more than a month.

One of Brody’s neighbors is Eileen, a shy female Yorkie. She scampers up to the front of her large, caged room, licks a couple people’s hands, then quietly pitter-patters back out of sight.

Eileen came to the shelter with a bunch of other Yorkies whose owner could no longer care for them.

The tiny (12 pounds) adult

dog “had some skin issues due to flea infestation and a resulting untreated flea al-lergy,” WAIF’s website says. “The fleas have been taken care of and her coat is begin-ning to fill in.”

Eileen is a good exam-ple of the type of pet that shouldn’t be adopted during the holidays. She’s shy around people and needs a quieter home.

Eileen was adopted into a nice home Thursday, Nov. 20.

Elyse Flack, who has been working at the Coupeville shelter since February 2014 and has a “pack” of her own at home, said it’s not good to travel with new dogs, which many people might do over the holidays.

Flack agrees with Bibich and Parra that now, before the holiday season really gets going in late December and early January, would be a better time to adopt.

Bibich also said that many holiday decorations are not good for pets. She said that holly, poinsettias, Christmas-tree water and ribbon can be unhealthy for animals.

Another reason to adopt right now is because the month of November is Adopt a Senior Month.

Through Nov. 30, all senior animals are $45. The adoption fee for cats is nor-mally $65 and $80 for dogs.

According to WAIF’s website, the foundation es-tablishes a senior at 8 years

of age, which is, many times, just the midpoint of an ani-mal’s life.

And WAIF waives the adoption fee for senior hu-mans (people 62 and older) adopting senior pets all year as part of their Senior 4 Se-nior program.

In the front office of the shelter, there’s a big display on the wall with pictures of senior pets who have been adopted or are waiting to be adopted.

One of the pets waiting to be adopted is Humphrey, a 10-year-old Shih-tzu mix.

Humphrey likes to go for walks on a leash, and he doesn’t jump around too much, but he is playful and sweet. The small Shih-tzu

(just under 15 pounds) has been at the shelter since the summer. He will need medi-cine for his eyes and skin for the rest of his life.

But that doesn’t slow him down much.

“He’s been a really good boy ever since he got here,” Flack said.

He even playfully chases cats.

One of the senior cats at the Coupeville shelter is San-dy, a 12-year-old male cat.

He came to the shelter this summer after his owner passed away. Sandy is a tabby, striped cat. He likes to sit with shelter staff and be petted.

Another senior cat that shelter staff recommends is Joey, a dark-gray male who has been at the shelter since May.

Joey was surrendered af-ter his owner became home-less. According to the WAIF website, Joey will probably do best in a quieter home without children.

One of the more playful cats is Kettle, who is in her

second stint at the shelter. After being adopted

once, she was found again on Kettles trails in an emaci-ated state, weighing only four pounds.

She’s doing well now, though, and enjoys rolling onto her back and showing people her creamy-gray belly.

All the pets at WAIF’s Coupeville shelter have gone through a thorough process to make sure that they are adoptable. Most of them are strays, but some are surren-dered by owners who move or can no longer take care of them.

But instead of giving someone an adopted animal as a surprise holiday gift and trying to guess what kind of animal they would want, Bibich said it’s better to let someone choose his or her own pet.

“That’s a family member for the next 15 years,” Bibich said.

It’s no small decision.

Has been a privilege to serve as treasurerEditor,

I would like to thank you for the faith and support you have bestowed upon me as I served as your Island County treasurer. Though I was not successful in my bid to continue to serve you, I have no regrets.

I am very proud of the accomplishments made during my tenure.

From eliminating the backlog in supple-ment processing — adjustments to property taxes due — to decreasing banking costs more than 70 percent, I have been driven to improve the services to you, the citizens of Island County.

This has always been my goal. I have already laid the groundwork for

the next year: fully establishing eREET — electronic Real Estate Excise Tax transac-tions — setting up a software terminal at the Camano Annex so residents can pay proper-ty taxes in “real time,” having a Deputy from my office assist the residents of Camano

Island with any questions or concerns they may have during routine monthly visits, to name a few.

I can only hope that the incoming trea-surer continues these steps.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you in all capacities since I first came onboard this office in 2005.

Wherever the good Lord sees fit to send me, I will always remember the trust you be-stowed upon me.

May God bless you always.Ana María d Nuñez, CPA

Think about securingfirearms this ChristmasEditor,

Buy a dad or loved one a gun safe for Christmas.

I waited in the aftermath of the Marys-ville-Pilchuck High School shooting to write this letter so as to not jump on the emotional

bandwagon. Please buy a dad or loved one who needs

a gun safe one for Christmas.School students are a very emotional

bunch who don’t need access to guns. I think the best things we as dads can do to con-tribute to lowering school gun violence, is to prevent easy access or unintended access to guns.

As a believer in our Second Amendment rights, I still see the need or responsibility to lock up our guns when not using them for sport or hunting.

I know there are other Second Amend-ment rights advocates who don’t believe a useful gun is one that is locked up.

But we live in a different world than the one I initially grew up in. Even as a Con-cealed Weapons Permit holder, we need to lock up our guns for the sake of our children and future grandchildren.

Please buy someone that needs one a gun safe for Christmas, and please use it.

In 20 years, Lyla and Phil Snover have not only cre-ated a lot of snow-men, but a lot of memories.

It’s hard to pack 20 years of memories and facts into 20 inches of story. What wasn’t included in this week’s front page story is that the

Town of Coupeville has partnered with Lyla and Phil Snover in the cost of creating and maintaining the town snow people.

The Town over the years has covered the cost of the plywood and white paint, said Mayor Nancy Conard.

The other colored paint has either been supplied by the Snovers or other volunteers.

And when Phil’s saw broke after cutting hundreds of plywood snow people, the town replaced it.

It’s a project that has seen volunteers come and go over the years.

In fact, Conard herself helped paint the first set.

What she didn’t mention, which Lyla was happy to share, is that first year Conard man-aged to ruin three shirts in the process.

Also, over the years the trend started to create a snow person to represent the various nonprofit groups in Central Whidbey.

They think they have them covered.Several businesses have also requested a

snow person and have covered the cost of sup-plies.

There article also didn’t have room to share all the mishaps over the years.

Creating these snow people was definitely a trial-and-error process. With several design revisions over the years.

The was also the year the waterproof red paint turned out to not be so waterproof.

Caring for Coupeville’s snow people is a big job but it appears to be a lot of fun. And the volunteers seem to understand how special it is.

Volunteer Gwen Samelson said it best when she said, “there’s something charming about it. It’s an American tradition.”

It’s hard to fit 20 years into one article

Some people put their gardens to bed in the fall and turn their minds to other pursuits till spring. Others may use their downtime in the dreary months to pour through seed catalogues and plot and plan next year’s garden.

And then there are the numerous brave gardening maniacs on the island who continue to wear out their gardening gloves and ancient, well-used garden forks and spades no matter what the weather man advises. They build rock walls, put in new shrubs when the soil is work-able and soldier on with a rake rake here and a snip snip there to keep it all tidy be-tween wind storms.

These are the people who make gift-giving during the Holiday Season a cinch. Now, really, what in the way of gardening paraphernalia wouldn’t they need and want?

I say this every year, and I’ll say it again: Gloves are al-ways a good gift because they wear out. And if they don’t, someone’s not working hard enough. And thermal gar-dening gloves would be a big plus right about now.

Speaking of gloves, gaunt-lets aren’t just for welders or

Knights of the Round Table anymore. Now you can get them in snazzy, bright col-ors to protect your forearms practically up to the elbow. They’d be excellent to have when battling blackberries, roses and vicious pampas grass.

I’ve found it useful in the past to use a garden journal. You can note the first and last frosts for your microclimate, keep track of what you plant-ed and when, and make note of what you would do differ-ently next year. An engage-ment calendar devoted to this purpose will work, but there are several kinds of garden journals and garden planners out there on the market. If you’re not the type to keep track of all of this on your computer, then ask Santa to put a garden journal in your stocking this year.

I find it easier to cut my day lilies, crocosmia and grasses back with a small Japanese scythe because it’s easier on my hands than us-ing my pruners. You can also use a hedge trimmer if it’s very, very sharp, but it you’re a careful person who isn’t likely to lop off a digit, then

I’d go for a scythe. It may be the closest you’ll ever get to feeling like a ninja.

Another tool that’s gain-ing popularity is the HoeDag Garden Tool, manufactured in Idaho. To me, it resembles an ice axe for gardeners. You could really do some serious damage to unwanted vegeta-tion with this device. And be-cause of the short handle, you could even do it from a kneel-ing or sitting position.

Last on the list, Sloggers are wonderful garden shoes. I’ve had flimsy waterproof shoes that didn’t last a sea-son.

If I’d only walked around all day and hadn’t spent my time getting down on the ground and then getting back up, they’d probably still be intact — but also pretty much worthless. You need a shoe that can take con-stant flexing and not crack. These shoes can handle hard use, will keep your feet dry, and they’re also comfortable enough to wear for everyday tooling around town.

My final bit of advice: shop early, shop often and shop locally when you can.

Several Coupeville High School graduates competed in college athletics this fall.

Tyler King runs cross country at the highest colle-giate level, Division I, for the University of Washington.

King, a junior, helped the 11th-ranked Huskies earn a berth in the NCAA Division I championships.

The University of Wash-

ington placed fourth in the Pac-12 meet Oct. 31 and fifth in the Region I meet Nov. 14.

King was 12th (24:00) out of 78 in the 8K conference meet, second among UW runners, and 33rd (30:11.6) out of 185 in the regional 10K race Nov. 14.

Amanda d’Almeida re-cently completed her sopho-more season in soccer for Carleton College (Northfield, Minn.).

She appeared in 13 match-es for the Knights, starting six. She recorded four shots, two on goal, during the sea-son and helped Carleton fin-ish third in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Conference

(7-1-3) and 11-4-3 overall.Nick Streubel, a 6-foot-3,

316-pound freshman offen-sive lineman, is red-shirting for the Central Washington University football team this fall.

Mitch Pelroy plays de-fensive back and returns kicks for Montana West-ern (Dillon). Pelroy helped the Bulldogs win their final four games to finish 6-5. He recorded 18 tackles (14 solo), including a sack.

As a kick returner, he was second on the team in kickoff returns (16 for 389 yards, a 24.3 yard average) and second in punt returns (four for 56 yards with a long of 38).

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Families have the chance to break out of their turkey-induced comas Thanksgiving weekend and spend some family time being creative.

The third annual Gingerbread Workshop is 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Coupeville Masonic Lodge on North Main Street.

The Coupeville Historic Water-front Association started the free family event four years ago in part-nership with The Whidbey Examiner and Coupeville Library’s Gingerbread Challenge and also as a way to help promote shop local.

Saturday is also Small Business Saturday.

“We’d love for families to come spend time with their families deco-rating and then go downtown and do some shopping,” said Vickie Cham-bers, executive director for the associa-tion.

Each family will get one ginger-bread kit to decorate. There are also graham crackers for children to make individual houses. Decorating supplies are endless.

“We work really hard to make events free because the town gives so much back to us,” Chambers said.

Chambers recommends people plan at least an hour to complete their house. She also advises that families don’t have to show up right at 11 in fear they might run out of supplies.

“It’s always craziness when we open the doors,” she said. “We never run out

of supplies.”Last year an estimated 350 people

attended.Once gingerbread creations are

complete, participants are invited to take them over to the library and sub-mit them to the Gingerbread Chal-lenge. Entries are accepted until Friday, Dec. 19.

The public is also invited to vote for their favorite.

Winners for youth, adult and peo-ple’s choice will be announced Sunday, Dec. 21, during the Red Ticket Draw-ing at 1 p.m. on the steps of the Island County Historical Museum.

Make gingerbread houses Saturday

An estimated 350 people made ginger-bread houses last year.

up worn down snow people.“I like to call it the snow peo-

ple spa,” said volunteer Gwen Samelson.

The “spa” used to be held in October and November, but has since moved to August and Sep-tember — warmer months since Phil’s garage still doesn’t have a heater.

And once those snow people are ready for their month-long show, Lyla calls on “The Bishop Boys” for installation.

It used to take Malcolm and Paul Bishop two days to install all of the snow people, but now they’ve got the task down to a

day.“It’s hard to get up and get

going when you know it’s ahead of you,” Malcom Bishop said. “Some days, we’re chasing the daylight.”

But the end result is always worth it.

“When we’re putting them up, we get people honking and waving,” Malcolm Bishop said. “So some people do appreci-ate it.”

And after 20 years, the appre-ciation and hard work continues. The Snovers certainly don’t ap-pear to be stopping.

“Every year Lyla says, ‘Oh, there are too many, we got to stop,’ ” Samelson said. “Then

she’ll turn around and say, ‘We need something for Easter.’ ”

“We’ll probably give it up when we’re 90,” Phil jokes.

And Conard probably wouldn’t mind even more smil-ing faces gracing the streets of the town she grew up in.

Phil says every year when he runs into her, she asks him if he’s going to make some more.

“It’s just evolved into some-thing that’s uniquely Coupe-ville,” Conard said. “I drive up and down the streets looking at them all, and each year I have a new favorite.

“It just feels good; it makes the holidays feel special in Coupeville.”

Snowmen: Project creates special feelContinued from 1

Lyla Snover, far left, and Phil Snover, far right, have cultivated and cared for the Coupeville snow people for 20 years. Phil says they’ll probably keep going until they’re 90.
