Central Whidbey residents who were wor-ried about Island Transit’s plans to re-align Parker Road and Highway 20 are breathing a sigh of relief this week as agency officials have vowed to take a second look at the proposed configuration.
Robert Pelant, a member of a community committee formally opposed to the original design, said he was pleased Island Transit leaders appear to have taken to heart the pub-lic’s concerns.
It’s a shame, he said, that last week’s public meeting – the event that served as the catalyst for the change in direction – didn’t take place sooner. People were as frustrated about the proposal itself as they were about feeling as though they had been left in the dark about the agency’s plans, he said.
“Yes, it was about the Parker Road trian-gle, but it’s also about government transparen-cy,” said Pelant, who is also CEO of the Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship.
Island Transit has held multiple public meetings on the topic, but Pelant said he felt
Officials tap brakes on Parker planthis was the best-advertised and best-attended gathering yet, yielding a crowd of more than 70 people.
The following day, Martha Rose, executive director of Island Transit, confirmed that her agency is “going back to the drawing board.”
“We’re going to be looking at all kinds of alternatives, from roundabouts to rumble strips,” Rose said.
She made it clear no promises are being made but said state and county partners in the project had already begun working with Is-land Transit officials on possible solutions.
She declined to offer specifics, but said any new plan may incorporate Morris Road, which was the subject of concern at the meet-ing. She said she was optimistic that a solution
will be found.Island Transit is in the process of building
a new headquarters at their current base on Highway 20 just south of Coupeville.
Part of the plan is to create a second en-trance and realign Parker Road. The existing end would be closed off as would Old Smith Prairie Road. The triangle-shaped section of field would be bisected by a re-routed Parker Road that would intersect with the highway.
The plan has been ruffling feathers in the community since it was unveiled. Most of the concerns are safety related and centered on the lack of a left-hand turn lane for motorists traveling south down the highway.
Island Transit officials have cited a lack

Remember the fresh-start feeling of shiny, stiff shoes and new supplies on the first day of school?
Every child deserves to start off the school year with the supplies and clothing they need to fit in, but not all families can afford to meet all the requirements on school supply lists.
The Readiness to Learn Foundation serves qualified families throughout Whidbey Island by outfitting children with school supplies.
The organization spends about $120 per child to provide basics like backpacks, paper, pencils, and calculators.
Readiness to Learn also gives each child a $30 voucher to Walmart for items not avail-able through the group’s distribution sites.
Gail LaVassar, Executive Director of the Readiness to Learn Foundation, said it takes about $100,000 a year to meet the needs of children returning to school on Whidbey Is-land.
“At this point, we’re running low on some supplies and not quite able to meet all the needs of families who come to us for help,” LaVassar said.
The Coupeville Readiness to Learn pro-gram opened its doors to families on Aug. 29 with only enough supplies for 70 students.
“We’ve got 80 children signed up for the Back-to-School program already, and expect to serve up to 120 children before we’re done,” LaVassar said.
The Coupeville distribution site is in the art room at Coupeville Middle School-High School.
In Oak Harbor, Readiness to Learn works in collaboration with the Opportunity Coun-cil, which sponsored a Back-to-School Give-away program in early August.
Throughout the year, Oak Harbor Readi-ness to Learn also helps foster and homeless children who arrive at school without needed supplies.
“We’ve already identified 117 homeless children starting school in Oak Harbor this year,” LaVassar said. “And the Department of Children’s and Family Services office in Oak Harbor has referred another 20 foster children to us.”

The Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce is no more.
The group has officially changed its name to Coupe-ville Chamber of Commerce.
“I thought about this quite a long time,” Executive Director Linda Eccles said. “We’re written about, we’re photographed and we get a lot of publicity. It’s time we sort of recognized the town we’re in.”
Eccles said only the name of the organization is chang-ing and the group will con-tinue to support its partners throughout central Whidbey Island. But after Washing-ton State Ferries agreed to rename the Keystone ferry terminal, changing its name to the Coupeville terminal, board members felt the name change would be less confus-ing – and could even help promote tourism.
“It’s really confusing to

tourists,” Chamber President Lisa Bernhardt said of the Chamber’s previous name.
“This kind of defines our place.”
The Central Whidbey
Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1962. In its 50-year history, it has never oper-ated under another name, al-though many people thought the organization used to be
called the Coupeville Cham-ber, Eccles said. Some may wonder why it took 50 years to make the change.
“I’ve had members come to me with comments like ‘Great!’ and ‘It’s about time,’” Eccles said. “There have been lots of positive comments.”
According to Eccles, discussion about the name change has been going on for a while, but the official deci-sion was made in July.
The group has registered with the state and everything has been approved. A new website is under development and a new logo has been cre-ated.
Residents can expect the changes to be revealed over the next couple of months.
“Right now we’re focusing on supporting business and tourism with the website and logo and then everything else will come. We’re just working down the list,” Eccles said.
“The important thing is we are still the gateway to Central Whidbey.”
A master plan has been developed for Coupeville’s Community Green, other-wise known as the grass field behind the library where the
farmers market is held.The space is owned by the
Town of Coupeville and a committee was organized to come up with ideas for how
to best use the space. The consensus of the
group is to keep the area looking like a green, grass field, but improve upon it for use at special events and for overflow parking. The old Holbrook Barn has been re-located to the property and the Town must now consider potential uses for it.
Town leaders are seeking community input regard-
ing the plan. Architect Craig Lewis, who designed the plan, town council mem-bers and staff will be at the Coupeville Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat-urday, Sept. 8 with drawings and possible options. This is an opportunity to provide in-put for the use of the area.
Call Coupeville Town Hall at 360-678-4461 for in-formation.

Fans of Lavender Wind Farm just off West Beach Road will soon have a new place to shop for the farm’s selection of lavender-infused goods.
Sarah Richards, owner and founder of Lavender Wind Farm, is expanding her operation to include a manu-facturing plant and com-mercial kitchen in downtown Coupeville, at the corner of N.W. Coveland and N.W. Al-exander streets. But this will be a manufacturing plant un-like what most people would picture.
Richards purchased the Cushman family home, a Craftsman-style wood-frame house built in 1916, to house her commercial kitchen, manufacturing operation and retail shop. The house has been used for various purpos-es over the years, including housing a gift shop.
“It’s never been a full commercial-use property un-til now,” said Richards, who is pleased her contractors have been able to keep the historic footprint while up-grading the property to meet her needs.
Among the first things to go was the dense thicket of juniper that had overgrown the retaining walls above the sidewalk, soon to be replaced by a showpiece garden.
Richards is hoping that local farmers will rent her kitchen to make value-added items they can sell for a good return.
“It will be unusual in that we’ll have dry food-packag-ing equipment along with the commercial kitchen,” she said.
Equipment for making preserves, jams and jellies will be added in the near fu-ture and Richards is hiring a baker to create fresh-baked lavender goodies to sell along with her food items, soaps,
lotions and other personal-care items as well as other lavender products. Although the shop and kitchen – along with a demonstration garden planned for the yard – are still a work in progress, it’s easy to picture how the inside of the business will look.
The walls of the retail area are painted a warm, invit-ing yellow that compliments the building’s natural wood floors.
The kitchen area is a bright, clean white with stain-less-steel appliances. The big open space will soon be filled with cabinets, work surfaces and the remaining applianc-es. A window imported from
New Zealand opens up the space between the retail shop and the kitchen, which Rich-ards hopes will also be filled with students in the future.
“We’re really ramping up our classes,” she said. “We will be offering lots of cook-ing classes, but we’ll keep offering the soap- and candle-making classes. I hope even-tually to have some sort of class every weekend.”
The giant piles of rock and gravel in front of the house along Coveland Street are being transformed into terraced rock walls, housing gardens that will be a perfect to stroll and relax.
“There will be walkways

all through the garden, so people will be able to see lav-ender and herbs in action,” Richards said. “There will also be a rain garden to look at.”
Although construction has taken about three months longer than Richards an-ticipated, she said she’s very happy with the quality of the work. When completed, there will be two patio areas where people can relax. One, on the front side of the house,
will have a view of downtown Coupeville with Penn Cove and Mount Baker in the dis-tance, while the other will be an enclosed garden patio area in the back.
“People will have their choice of a charming sitting area with a nice view or a spot that’s more secluded,” Richards said.
The expansion of her business is necessary because manufacturing at her farm just can’t keep up with the
demand for her products any longer, Richards said – a nice problem for a business to have. She said she thinks her success has come because people enjoy little, simple things.
She said she’s enjoyed a growing business ever since she put her first lavender plants in the ground 12 years ago. The good reception con-tinues today.
“The community’s reac-tion has been unfailingly pos-itive,” she said. “Everybody’s excited about it.”

Johnson is responsiveI am writing in support of Helen Price
Johnson’s re-election this year. I came to know Helen over the years as a local business owner and active community volunteer. I observed that she demonstrated excellent leadership qualities in whatever role she served in church, school, community or business.
As our Island County commissioner, she has restructured county departments to in-crease effectiveness and efficiencies with fewer resources and has been a good steward of our water resources, parks and trails.
In situations where ideas and policies are challenged, I have seen Helen respond in re-spectful, fair-minded and even-handed ways.
She is always willing to listen to anyone’s opinion.
In an era when politics is often polar-ized and one party doesn’t want to hear out the other, she is a ray of light. She listens and looks for the common goal everyone can agree upon and to unite people to work together.
She was elected to her first term of office at a difficult time when budget cuts were neces-sary. She was forced to make cuts but froze her own salary and cut her benefits to save the county money as well.
Responsible government action and con-stituent concerns are important to her.
She works collaboratively to address con-stituent concerns, whether it is hunting at Deer Lagoon, signing, safety, public beach access or transportation issues. She has facilitated easier public access to county government and works to encourage economic growth in our county. I believe she has demonstrated responsible and responsive administration of county government.
I plan to vote for Helen Price Johnson for Island County commissioner and urge you to do the same.

Regional transportation plans need local input
This summer, the Washington State Trans-portation Commission launched the Voice of Washington State (VOWS), an innova-tive web-based public engagement program, which includes seven regional discussion fo-rums and a survey panel.
Now, two months into the program, there are numerous topics on the North Puget Sound forum that need community input.
For example, there are currently many ideas about potential funding sources for
transportation, as well as active conversations about traffic flow on I-5 and the potential to privatize the ferry system.
The North Puget Sound VOWS online discussion forum is a good place for Island County residents to publicly share, vote and comment on regional or statewide transporta-tion ideas. You can share your opinions about any part of our transportation system, includ-ing: highways, mass transit, freight and high-speed rail, ferries, barges and even aviation.
Similarly, through the survey panel, citi-zens can contribute their opinions by taking occasional surveys on transportation policy, funding and tax issues. The state needs this in-formation in order to understand the priorities and opinions of Washington state residents.
The ultimate goal is to gather public input on Washington state transportation policy and funding, and to inform the statewide dis-cussion and decision-making process.
Gov. Chris Gregoire and the Washington State Legislature will be briefed on the results of both the forums and surveys at the start of each year before the legislative session begins.
In short, we want and need to see a stron-ger representation in the North Puget Sound to ensure the input gathered is balanced and reflective of statewide views and interests.
You can help by sharing your transporta-tion ideas today. There is a limited window of opportunity to impact the state’s future deci-sions on how future revenues will be invested.
Log on to voiceofwashingtonstate.org to share your feedback for how to improve Whidbey Island and Island County’s trans-portation system.

Fair was charming slice of Whidbey Island life
My family and I traveled to Whidbey Is-land in August as part of a trip to the North-west to visit our relatives.
We live in Cleveland, and are familiar with and very much enjoy the country fairs in our home state of Ohio, which are fairly big and noisy with lots of activity and big crowds.
So when we stopped in at the Whidbey Fair, it was a pleasant surprise. It’s such a tiny fair, but it was so friendly and welcoming and charming.
The people of Whidbey Island have a real gem in their local fair!

What’s your opinion?The Whidbey Examiner welcomes let-
ters to the editor. We strive for balance, but there are times when we may only receive letters on one side of an issue.
Letters express the views of their writ-ers, not those of this newspaper or its employees. Letters should be factually ac-curate and reflect the original thoughts of a single writer.
If your opinion differs from those you see printed, you’re encouraged to write a letter and give your perspective.
Subject matter should be relevant to readers, provocative, constructive and timely. Passion is good. So is humor.
Our first priority is to publish letters by local people that address local issues. We will publish letters on other subjects de-pending on available space.
Letters that have been submitted to other local newspapers also receive lower priority.
We do print brief “thank-you” letters when space becomes available, but letters about more in-depth concerns receive first priority.
Sign your letter and include your street address and daytime and evening tele-
phone numbers. Phone numbers are used for verification
only, and will not be published.All letters are subject to editing for
length, content, grammar and punctua-tion. Letters must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for publication on Thursday.
We strive to print all letters we receive, but publication is not guaranteed.
Shorter letters of 250 words or less have a better chance of getting into print. That’s roughly the amount of double-spaced text that fits on a single page.
Contact our office before submitting longer editorials to be considered for publi-cation on the Viewpoints page.
During election season, the Examiner receives a large volume of letters support-ing or opposing candidates and various ballot issues. We will publish as many letters as space will allow, and post the re-mainder online at whidbeyexaminer.com.

We Need Your Input on the Coupeville Community Green!
10 am- 2 pm Saturday, Sept. 8Coupeville Farmers Market
A committee has had several meetings with Landscape Architect Craig Lewis to brainstorm a master plan for what has been called the Community Green, the grass field behind the Coupeville library where the farmers market is located on Saturdays. The Community Green is owned by the Town of Coupeville.
The consensus of the group is to keep the area looking like a green, grassy field, but improve its utilization for special events and overflow parking. In addition, now that the Town has located the old Holbrook Barn on this property, we are considering potential uses for the barn.
We would like your input! The architect and Coupeville Town Council members and staff will be at a booth at the Coupeville Farmers Market on Saturday, Sept. 8, with drawings and possible options and would welcome your comments. This is a great opportunity to meet on site and provide input for the future use of this area.

Efforts to release Penn Cove’s most famous orca from captivity has resorted to name calling.
Orca Network, a non-profit whale advocacy group based in Greenbank, has submitted “Tokitae” to the Washington State Transpor-tation Commission for con-sideration as a name for one of two new 144-car ferries under construction.
Tokitae is the Coast Sal-ish greeting for “nice day, pretty colors,” and is the original name of Lolita, a Puget Sound orca that has spent more than 40 years liv-ing and performing at Miami Seaquarium in Florida.
Howard Garrett, presi-dent of Orca Network, said the name choice is fitting as it honors both an old Native American greeting and orcas, which are an endangered species and the state’s official marine mammal.
“It goes back thousands of years and four decades,” he said. “It honors both long-term and short-term history.
Of course, it’s also meant to cast light on the famous whale herself. She is the last survivor of approximately 45 Southern Resident orcas cap-tured in Washington during the 1960s and 1970s and Orca Network is one of several ad-vocacy groups that believes she should be released into the wild.
“One of our citizens is be-ing held captive as a circus performer in Miami,” Gar-rett said. “We’d like to return her.”
Former state Gov. Mike Lowry declared the whale a Washington citizen in 1995 as the start of a campaign to bring the animal back to Puget Sound. Although it has yet to succeed, it’s a fight that continues to this day.
According to Garrett, in August the Animal Legal Defense Fund and People for the Ethical Treatment of Ani-mals, commonly known as PETA, jointly filed a lawsuit against U.S. Department of Agriculture.
It alleges that a division of the agency, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, has failed to address
Ferry name proposal still adriftissues with the orca’s holding tank, namely issues concern-ing size and shade.
It is the latest in a string of lawsuits and actions waged on the animal’s behalf over the years. This is also the sec-ond attempt to name a new state ferry after the contro-versial orca.
Deb Lund, a Whidbey Island author of children’s books, submitted the name in 2010 for the second of three new Kwa-di Tabil class ferries being built.
It lost out to “Salish” and “Kennewick” but it did strike favor with influential elected leaders in Olympia.
“I thought that was a great name,” said District 10 Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, who is also chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee.
“I am still in support of it,” she said.
Haugen is not alone. Is-land County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard have also endorsed the name choice, adding their names to an online petition.
As of Monday, it included
a total of 857 signatures from people across 40 states and 35 countries. To add your name you name to the petition, visit www.thepetitionsite.com and search for Tokitae.
Although the naming sug-gestion has obvious support, it could be an uphill battle. The transportation commis-sion has a policy of not nam-ing ferries after individuals, though it does consider them on a case-by-case basis.
Whether the transporta-tion commission will view Tokitae as an individual or not is anyone’s guess, but the issue is obviously debatable.
For example, while former Gov. Mike Lowry was happy to proclaim the whale a citi-zen more than a decade ago, others today still see her as just an animal.
“I don’t think an orca is an individual,” Haugen said.
Whatever the case, the transportation commission has set a deadline of Sept. 26.
A review and public com-ment period will follow and a decision will be made at the group’s Nov. 13 meeting in Tacoma.

They can’t force an applicant – in this case Island Transit – to make a change based on community concerns alone.
The plans meet accepted engineering standards, which makes the installation of a left-turn lane Island Tran-sit’s choice. As for the state electing to put it in itself, it’s a matter of available funding.
“The bottom line is we don’t have enough money,” Harrison said.
During the meeting, Rose said Island Transit has been able to dig up funding to install a right-turn lane for motorists heading north but money for the left-turn lane remains elusive.
However, Rose said later that efforts to find the needed resources will continue. It’s unclear whether a new con-figuration would make the issue a moot point, but she did say she has high hopes the money can be found in the state’s transportation budget.
“We’re going to work together to get a special ap-propriation to get this done,” Rose said.

of funding as the primary obstacle and state Depart-ment of Transportation offi-cials maintain that they can’t require the agency to install a left-turn lane nor do they have the money to build it themselves.
The controversy has con-tinued to simmer, turning the heads of elected officials and even birthing the committee of Central Whidbey residents who are formally opposed to the road plan.
State Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, who said she be-came involved after fielding numerous calls from wor-ried constituents, organized and held a second commu-nity meeting on the issue this week.
It was attended by a
crowd of Central Whid-bey residents, a handful of elected officials and political candidates, representatives from the state Department of Transportation, Island County Public Works and Is-land Transit.
Tensions were high at the meeting as residents were clearly frustrated by the plan, the potential dangers of the configuration and the fact that the design hasn’t been al-tered despite the pleas of the community.
Many pleaded for the plans to be put on hold.
Todd Harrison of the state Department of Transporta-tion told the crowd that he agreed the configuration wasn’t perfect but explained that their hands are tied.
Needs are greatest on South Whidbey, where up to 250 children will be served. Families who apply after supplies run out are put on a waiting list.
“Poverty is definitely showing an increase on South Whidbey,” LaVassar said.
The South Whidbey Back-to-School program is administrated through the Family Resource Center at South Whidbey’s old primary school, and supplies are dis-tributed from a portable at South Whidbey Elementary School.
The schools are next door to each other on Maxwelton Road between Hwy. 525 and Langley.
LaVassar said the foun-dation is in need of specific school supplies such as col-lege-ruled notebook paper, composition books, one-inch three-ring binders, basic and scientific calculators, water-color paints, plastic pencil boxes, No. 2 pencils, red pencils, glue sticks and high-lighters.
“There’s no shortage of crayons,” she said. “We have enough crayons on hand to give a box to every child on Whidbey Island.”
Cash donations are need-ed, too, LaVassar said.
“Local businesses and ser-vice groups have been gener-ous with us, as well as private donors,” she said. “Wind-ermere Real Estate in Coupe-ville donates to us generously every year.
And the Clyde Theater in Langley collaborates with Island Athletic Club and Lindsay Communications to match funds donated in the Magic Change Jar at the theater.”
The organization makes sure donations are allocated in the same community from which the donation origi-nated.
“If you live in Coupeville and want to help local kids, then that’s where your money will go,” LaVassar said.
Families who need help providing school supplies for their children should con-tact the Readiness to Learn Foundation.

Football linemen rarely get the glory, but the petrol that runs the Coupeville High School football engine this fall will be the big boys up front.
“Our offensive and de-fensive lines are very good,” first-year coach Tony Maggio said.
Anchoring the line is Maggio’s senior son, Antho-ny, a second-team, all-league choice last year. He will be joined by honorable mention returnees senior Caleb Valko and junior Nick Streubel.
The trio lead a large group of returning lettermen: seniors Danny Savalza, Kole Kellison, Riley Boyd and Serigio Guerro; juniors Wade Schaef, Gunnar Langvold, Brett Arnold, Ben Haight, Nick Weatherford, Bryce Fleming and Jared Dickson; and sophomores Joel Wal-stad, Korbin Korzan, Miguel Rodriguez, Josh Bayne, Car-son Riser, Aaron Wright and Matthew Hampton.
The group will have to make up for the loss of a handful of graduates, includ-ing dynamic offensive weap-on Mitch Pelroy and defen-sive stalwart Dalton Engle.
Coach Maggio said the toughest part will be replac-ing the pair’s leadership. On the field, he will look to Tumblin to pick up some of the slack.
Tumblin will move from quarterback to wing to better “utilize his speed,” Maggio said.
Langvold and Korzan are battling for the starting quarterback spot, Arnold and Savalza will handle full-back and Fleming, Bayne and Dickson are in mix with Tumblin to play wing.
Key newcomers, accord-ing to Maggio, are senior Paul Schmakeit (tight end)
and juniors Alex Schmakeit (guard), Joey Edwards (cen-ter, linebacker), Kyle Kendall (wing) and Raymond Beiriger (wide out).
Maggio said he also has “a bunch of talented fresh-men.”
Maggio served as the team’s line coach until taking over this year for Jay Silver, who left for personal reasons after two seasons and now leads Mount Vernon. With the switch in coaches comes a switch in offense from the spread to the wing.
Maggio said, “Last year we wanted to run a play every
seven seconds, this year we will take our time and use the clock.”
Coupeville will run a more balanced attack, Mag-gio said, in reference to last year’s pass-oriented offense.
Line play isn’t the team’s only strength. “Team speed is better overall than last sea-son,” Maggio said. “We are a stronger team as the kids were in the weight room all year and all summer. All of our kids can catch the ball well and run good routes.”
This year’s football team is young (only six seniors) and depth is a concern, according
to Maggio.Another noticeable
change is in the Wolves’ schedule. Coupeville, the smallest school by far in en-rollment in the Cascade Con-ference, will no longer play the larger schools from the league, skipping 2A Cedar-crest, Lakewood and power-house Archbishop Murphy.
This should help Coupe-ville be more competitive and protect it physically. The Wolves won only one confer-ence game the past two years and were 3-16 overall. The pain went beyond the score-board; last year half of the
30-man squad ended the year on the injury list.
“I expect that we will compete in every game,” Maggio said, “and by com-pete I mean these kids will have the chance to win every game in the fourth quarter. I expect our coaches to put these kids in the right posi-tions to be successful, and give them the tools needed to put together some wins.”
Coupeville started the season at Bellevue Chris-tian Thursday, Aug. 30, and it hosts Port Townsend at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7.

Coupeville High School volleyball coach refuses to let her girls play the “What if” game.
Four players — all likely starters this season — will don different uniforms this fall. Over the past two years, three have transferred to oth-er schools and a fourth chose to change sports.
How will the Wolves over-come? “Like we usually do, not looking back and talking about what ‘could have been,’ but instead, turning it around to look at it as an opportu-nity for someone to really step up her game,” said head coach Toni Crebbin.
She added, “We raise the bar and tell the girls that every day we strive to get bet-ter.”
Two of the transfers left last year, and the Wolves re-
sponded with a solid 9-9 sea-son. Crebbin said, “We have years like last year to look back on, when we succeed when we’re not supposed to, and it encourages the girls that they can do it again.”
Regardless of the per-sonnel, Crebbin expects the Wolves to be competitive in the Cascade Conference: “Our love of the game and heart will get us further than people expect us to…I expect we will be in a close fight to finish top four.”
This year’s club will cen-ter around its two returning starters, middles senior Bes-sie Walstad and sophomore Hailey Hammer, and letter winner junior Breeannna Messner.
Walstad was an all-league,
honorable mention choice in 2011.
Newcomers Megan Oakes (setter), Madeline Strasburg (outside hitter) and Amanda Fabrizi (defensive specialist) will be called upon to plug some of the holes.
Crebbin said the Wolves’ strength is their attitude and their weakness is lack of ex-perience. She added, “One thing that is both a strength and a weakness is that I have a lot of versatile girls that can play more than one position. That is a strength in that it gives me options and depth, but on the other hand I don’t have a lot of girls who really dominate in any one posi-tion.”
Coupeville headed north to take part in the Oak Har-bor Jamboree Saturday, Sept. 1, then has two away matches before hosting South Whidbey at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13.

Page 10 The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, September 6, 2012
By Jim WallerStaff Reporter
The rivalry between South Whidbey and Coupe-ville just got turned up a notch.
For years the Wolves and Friday Harbor were the only 1A schools with tennis programs in District 1, and Coupeville has dominated the series recently. Tradition-rich South Whidbey, with a dip in enrollment, drops from 2A and joins them this year.
And while Coupeville has had its way with Friday Har-bor, it has never beaten South Whidbey in a long series of nonleague matches in CHS coach Ken Stange’s eight years at a the helm.
Stange said, “While South Whidbey is always difficult competition, I’m hoping the raising of the bar will inspire us to work that much harder. I welcome the challenge.”
On the individual front, the addition of South Whid-bey players will also make it more difficult for Coupeville senior Nathan Lamb to cap-ture his fourth straight dis-trict title. As a freshman and sophomore, Lamb earned the district doubles crown; last
year he was singles cham-pion.
He returns this season in the No. 1 singles slot for the Wolves.
The team’s only other se-nior, Ben Wehrman, finished third in district in singles in 2011.
“Nathan and Ben were solid in singles last season and will continue to do so,” Stange said.
Also returning is sopho-more Aaron Curtin, who placed second in district dou-bles with then-senior Taku Yamauchi.
Other returnees are ju-niors Jason Knoll, Brandon Kelley, Brian Norris, Jake McCormick, Cameron Boyd-Eck and Konrad Borden.
Newcomers include ju-nior Ben Etzell and freshmen Dawson d’Almeida, Sebas-tian Davis, Zane Bundy, Loren Nelson, Connor Mc-Cormick, Shane Squire and Loren Nelson.
“I expect my seasoned players,” Stange said, “to augment their games while the newbies learn the basics
and turn from beginners to intermediate players.”
The team’s strength, according to Stange, is its depth, thanks to “quite a few athletic newcomers.”
He added, “Many of them will develop into fine play-
ers if they keep at it. I’ve also got some returning players to keep us competitive in singles.”
Stange said the team’s inexperience could be a prob-lem and no “truly dominant doubles team” has emerged.
Stange said his team may take some “beatings from the private schools” but it will help the Wolves “learn better tennis.”
Among his goals, Stange looks to advance at least one singles player and one dou-
bles team to quad-district: “We will just have to get by some feisty Falcons and Wol-verines.”
Coupeville starts the sea-son with Friday Harbor at 3 p.m. in Coupeville Friday, Sept. 7.
By Jim WallerStaff Reporter
The Coupeville High School soccer team had trou-ble running up the score last fall, so this season first-year coach Dan d’Almeida is hav-ing the Wolves run.
The Wolves struggled to find the back of the net last fall, scoring only three goals in 14 league matches. D’Almeida is implementing a counter-attack offense to help generate more offense, but to counter attack, his players have to be in good physical shape.
He said, “Our focus in fit-ness first. From that, we can build a counter attack and play smarter tactically to in-crease our scoring chances. With more pace and aggres-siveness, I’m hopeful that we can put more balls in the net while continuing to make progress on the defensive side of the ball.”
The Wolves will lean on a talented group of seniors, multi-letter winners forward Kelsey Miranda, defender Anna Bailey, midfielder Amanda d’Almeida and mid-fielder Haley Marx. Aman-da d’Almeida, the coach’s daughter, is a two-time all-conference selection.
Six other letter winners
return, junior defender Vic-toria Wellman; sophomore midfielders Marisa Etzell, Christine Fields, Ana Luvera and Erin Rosenkrance; and sophomore defender Ivy Lu-vera.
Coach d’Almeida said, “Besides the returning varsity players, I expect contribu-tions from Jacki Ginnings (D) and Mickayla Levine (F).”
Key newcomers, d’Almeida said, are senior forward Madison Tisa-McPhee, and sophomores goalie McKayla Bailey, for-ward Makana Stone and de-fender Jennifer Spark.
In addition to picking up the offense, Coupeville needs to find “a reliable goalie and an additional central defend-er,” d’Almeida said.
The coach knows success doesn’t come over night and the Wolves have a longs ways to catch the elite teams in the league: “Expecting big results is certainly not realistic.”
He added, “However, we have great pride and I believe the girls will pull more than a few surprises.
“We have a nice mix of veterans and solid under-

classmen who are veteran club or rec players. Sean Levine is select coaching many Island players on a competitive team. We are for-tunate to have many of these players who contributed on JV and varsity last year in our underclass group.”
“The girls are bonding nicely as a team this season…We have lost several hard-
working players from last year, but I believe the seniors and sophomores are more than ready to step in and make strong contributions to a well-organized, team defense.”
D’Almeida sees Archbish-op Murphy, Cedarcrest and Lakewood as the top Cas-cade Conference teams.
Coupeville will be com-
petitive and “leave it all out on the field,” d’Almeida said. “We’d love to have the crowd support behind us. Our group of seniors have been playing varsity for four years and they deserve our commu-nity support.”
The Wolves begin the sea-son at home at 6 p.m. Thurs-day, Sept. 6, with Oak Har-bor, then later meet South
Whidbey twice. “Competing successfully on the Island is certainly important to us,” d’Almeida said.
He concluded by saying he is fond of a saying he heard from a college coach, “Our family versus their team.”
Also the Wolves will find out if the family that runs to-gether wins together.

humus, good drainage and plenty of sun.
This is one plant you don’t have to water in when you plant it. Instead, wait until new shoots begin to show, then wa-ter and fertilize regularly. Go easy on the nitrogen later in the season or you’ll have a lot of great foliage and few flowers.
Deer may not care for dahl-ias, but slugs and snails adore them. Be mindful of those little critters, especially when the tender shoots emerge, or they will mow them down nightly.
If you want fewer but big-ger flowers, pinch off the outer two of the three buds that form on a stem or remove some of the lateral stems.
Frequently dahlias will winter over just fine for a sea-son or two in our climate, es-pecially if mulched, but if you want to be certain you have great flowers year after year, lift the tubers after the foliage is killed by the first frost, divide and store in a cool and dry place. Check them from time to time during the winter to make sure they’re not moldy, rotten or wizened.
To learn more about delec-table dahlias, visit the Ameri-can Dahlia Society online at dahlia.org.

If you’re looking for a flower that offers a lot of wiggle room in size, shape and color and that really stands out in mid to late summer, dahlias are a sure bet.
This Mexican native was introduced to Europe in the late 16th century.
In the ensuing centuries, breeders have had ample op-portunity to transform it from a six- to 18-foot-tall plant with single red or lilac flowers into dozens and dozens of varieties which are showy – and more compact!
Dahlia flowers can be any-where from a tiny two-inch ball to a peony shape the size of a dinner plate and their colors can range from purest white to deepest red or purple.
Throw in some bi-colored and variegated flowers and fo-

liage that runs the gamut from green to bronze and a gardener has more than enough to work with.
Dahlias are actually pretty easy to grow. They can be started from seed and treated as annuals, or cuttings can be taken of new shoots. But for the quickest and biggest bang for your buck, plant mature tubers in the spring, after the danger of frost is past.
They look a lot like sweet
potatoes, but dangle like big, fat fingers from a central stem.
New buds form around an old stem, so if planting a single tuber, make sure it includes a bud along with part of an old stem. (Remember this when dividing them, too.)
Dig a hole about six inches deep and position the tubers so the eyes are about two inches deep and the clumps are a couple of feet apart, old stems pointing upwards.
The bigger the variety, the greater the spacing needed be-tween plants. This is the time to stake them, too. You don’t want to accidentally skewer a tuber when you suddenly dis-cover the weight of the flowers pulling the entire plant earth-ward.
Dahlias need neutral to slightly acidic soil with lots of

At 1 p.m., Wendy Shingle-ton, a freelance consultant from Oak Harbor will lead a class titled, “How to suc-cessfully use social media for your nonprofit.” Shingleton, a former technology consul-tant for IBM Global Services will cover the basics of using social media to benefit your nonprofit organization.
