The financial sacrifice of a few was the gain of all Central Whidbey recently when nearly 250 acres of farm and wetland were forever protected from the threat of develop-ment.
Late last month, the Whidbey Camano Land Trust wrapped up conservation ease-ments on five properties within Ebey’s Land-ing National Historical Reserve, totaling about 90 acres of farmland.
And shortly before that, the land trust secured the last of a series of properties ac-quired in 2012 on the East end of Crockett Lake, culminating in the preservation of almost 150 acres of pristine wetland and mi-gratory bird habitat.
“We’re just delighted these properties are protected because I think it’s going to be to the benefit of all Island County residents,” said Tom Cahill, who was president of the organization’s board of directors last year.
Ebey’s reserve officials are hailing the
conservation effort a success, calling it a sig-nificant achievement for the land trust and a generous gift from participating landowners.
“These lands have been identified as high priorities for protection for more than a de-cade,” Reserve Manager Mark Preiss said. “They are integral to the reserve’s mission.”
Three of the five properties protected in December belong to members of the Pick-ard Family. Siblings Jan and Ken Pickard sold easements on two properties totaling 33 acres between Engle and Fort Casey Road, and the family’s LLC sold development rights on 23 acres across from Ebey Bowl on the North side of Terry Road.
After more than 30 years of preservation

Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson doesn’t like bullies and she isn’t going to be blindly loyal to her political party.
If that hadn’t already been made clear by her record during her first two weeks in office, the freshman Republican commissioner dispelled any misconceptions about how she plans to approach her job, and deal with harsh criti-cism from fellow party members, during an Old Goats-Fully Informed Voters luncheon on South Whidbey this past Friday.
“I don’t like bullying. I don’t like it,” Johnson said. “It doesn’t work well with me, it’s not ef-fective. If you’re somebody who wants to get something from me as a county commission-er, you need to have good ideas. They need to be thought out and well presented.”

And for the “more conservative” members of the audience, she had a special message.

2:06 p.m. — A caller reported a traffic hazard at Bush Point Road and Tanglewilde Lane; a trailer was parked on one side of the street and the truck on the other, so there was not enough space between the two for two vehicles to pass safely.

The Northwest Navi-gator, the Navy’s contract newspaper for this region, will print its final weekly edition on March 29, Navy Region Northwest an-nounced Friday.
After March 29, there will no longer be an official or authorized Navy print newspaper for Commander, Navy Region Northwest; Naval Air Station Whid-bey Island; Naval Station Everett; Naval Base Kitsap and Naval Magazine Indian Island.
“This is the end of an era, but we still have Navy infor-mation to share and stories to tell,” said Sean Hughes, public affairs officer at Navy Region Northwest. “We will continue to communicate through our official Navy channels and, of course, work with area publishers and media representatives to further our Navy’s story with our communities. We will continue to explore new ways to communicate in this fast-changing media landscape, and look forward to keeping the conversation going.”
The Northwest Naviga-
tor, which is published by the Kitsap Sun and was for-merly published by Sound Publishing Co., won nu-merous awards for produc-tion and reporting, and has helped tell the Navy story to tens of thousands of sailors, family members, retirees, veterans and residents.
“We’re going to be reach-ing out even more to the community and to Whid-bey News Group to get the stories about the base and our personnel out there,” said Mike Welding, Public Affairs Officer for Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. “We’ll also be using social media like Facebook and our website to get the word out.”
The decision to stop publication was made as a Navy-wide cost-savings measure, Hughes said.
“This was a tough head-quarters decision in a belt-tightening world,” Hughes said. “We’d like to thank everyone who made The Northwest Navigator a part of their lives, the outstand-ing publishers we’ve worked with over the years, and all of those who helped us share
the stories of our fleet, fight-ers and families.”
Lori Maxim, vice presi-dent of Sound Publishing Co., said in response to the news, “It’s a sad day,” noting that the Northwest Naviga-tor has a long history.
Sound published the Northwest Navigator for several years before the Sun won the contract. Sound then launched the Kit-sap Navy News and a new Whidbey Crosswind as weekly publications cover-ing local Navy news.
Those publications were transitioned to a monthly format for veterans and re-tirees in April, 2012.
The Kitsap Navy News is now published as Veterans Life.
Both the Whidbey Cross-wind and Veterans Life are also available online as green editions.
Hughes said his of-fice will make Northwest Navy news and information available in many formats, including on Navy social media pages (Facebook and Twitter), websites, and in internal command employee newsletters.

Island Transit is cur-rently constructing a new headquarters campus that includes an administration building and a maintenance building large enough to house 12 bus bays.
The new buildings will provide enough space to meet Island Transit’s needs for the next 20 years.
The construction project is being funded by a $17.92 million grant from the Federal Transit Authority’s “State of Good Repair” program.

About a dozen or so neighbors living near Island Transit in Central Whid-bey came to a meeting with questions about an antenna officials want to install as part of its new headquarters.
Island Transit officials want to install a 40-foot an-tenna behind the agency’s new maintenance facility.
The new antenna will help improve communica-tions with the transit sys-tem’s buses, and improve communications between emergency services.
Martha Rose, executive director for Island Transit, said she’s received several phone calls concerning the proposed antenna.
She noted that the an-tenna will eventually replace ones that are slated to go on the headquarters and main-tenance buildings.
The proposed antenna will extend 10 feet higher than the maintenance build-ing.
“That tower won’t be taller than the other antenna on the maintenance facility,” Rose said during the Mon-
Meeting clarifies new transit antenna questions

Island Transit executive director Martha Rose talks with a resident about the proposed 40-foot antenna that is scheduled to be installed behind the new maintenance building.
day evening meeting. Officials had an extended
cherry picker placed in front of the Island Transit head-quarters to give folks an idea of the height of the proposed tower. If a person was stand-ing in the cherry picker, it would be approximately 40 feet tall.
Nearby resident Lou-ise Harvey questioned why wasn’t the new antenna ad-dressed when Island Transit applied for a building per-mit.
Rose said the antenna project, which was bud-geted in the project and will cost approximately $35,000,
wasn’t ready yet. Island Transit held the
public meeting Monday night as a requirement to get the antenna approved by Is-land County.
Joe Sheldon, who is a board member for the Pacif-ic Rim Institute for Environ-mental Studies, questioned
if the new tower will have lights. Rose said it won’t.
Because the tower doesn’t extend above the trees and won’t affect birds flying at night, he said he doesn’t have any issue with the tower.
Other people attending the meeting were curious about the tower’s location and whether the Navy had any issues with it.
Officials said the tower will help Island Transit communications by elimi-nating dead spots and im-proving communications with buses on Camano Island.
It will also help law en-forcement and other emer-gency services.
Those agencies can use the Island Transit antenna for their communications, which Rose said will im-prove “interoperability” be-tween emergency agencies on Whidbey Island and the Olympic Peninsula.
“This is part of emergen-cy planning that has been going on for years,” Island Transit board member, and Coupeville Town Council member, Bob Clay said dur-ing the meeting.
Bayview Market now taking applicationsVendor applications for
the 2013 Bayview Farmers Market are now available online at the market web-site, www.bayviewfarmers market.com.
The opening bell for the island’s biggest farmers market will ring at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27.
Markets run every Sat-urday — rain or shine — through the end of October.
Market Manager Sharon Warwick says new vendors are welcomed in all catego-ries with a special welcome
to farmers and persons interested in selling hot foods.
Last year the markets featured a weekly average of 60 vendors selling pro-duce, plant starts, baked goods, hot foods and arti-san crafts.
Market officers will be meeting in early February to develop an agenda and budget for the group’s an-nual meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26 at the Wellington Day School, re-cently re-located at the old

The Whidbey Examiner welcomes let-ters to the editor.
Letters express the views of their writ-ers, not those of this newspaper or its employees. Letters should be factually accurate 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, pro-vocative, constructive and timely. Pas-sion 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 depending 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 is available, but letters about more in-depth concerns receive first pri-
ority.Sign your letter and include your
street address and daytime and evening telephone 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 re-ceive, 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 publication on the Viewpoints page.

We need to find other options for OLF flights
Editor,There have been two recent articles related
to the Outlying Field in Coupeville, each at-testing to the urgency of the need to continue the important pilot training that takes place there. There seems to be an underlying mes-sage, in these articles, that people may not acknowledge, understand, or care, just how essential this training is.
I would like to point out that nothing could be further from that perception. I have lived below the touch and go flight pattern for 40 years. Admittedly the noise has been an in-trusion, but it was tolerable; it was possible to sleep, talk on the phone, watch TV, work, gar-den, or be outdoors on a nice summer night around a fire at the beach.
Unfortunately the Growler has brought a wholly different experience, one that pre-cludes all of those activities, one that is fray-ing people’s mental and physical health. No one signed an agreement to endure the un-sustainable, unbearable bombardment of the Growler.
I am unaware of any one that does not agree that it is imperative for this training to occur. The question is, where are there air fields that provide the conditions necessary to train that do not impair the health and wel-fare of citizens.
There are alternatives, out of population areas, where pilots could train without trau-matizing others. I hope this can be addressed.

Grateful OLF provides practice space
Editor,I know that some of you are upset by the
noise of the planes flying, landing and taking off from the Outlying Field, whether they are Growlers or Prowlers, it matters not.
When I heard the sound last week on a beautiful, sunny day, I was reminded of an-other sunny day not too many years ago.
That day, my son came home from a deployment aboard the USS Nimitz. He ar-rived safe and sound of body and spirit even though he had spent several months in the Persian Gulf.
He was a fire fighter on the flight deck and spent many hours in a space called “Crash and Salvage.” It means just what it sounds like.
If there is a crash on the flight deck, his job was to get out there, pull the pilot from the wreckage and put out the fire.
In all the months of several deployments,
he never had to do that. The pilots brought their planes in with precision and skill and if I may say so, not a little daring.
So when my afternoon in the garden or my evening watching television is disturbed by the noise, I give thanks to God that they are out there practicing.

Experience the story of Rebecca Ebey like never before with a CD recording featuring authentic period music and the voice of Jill Johnson, award-winning sto-ryteller.
A CD release party is set for 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1 at the Island County Museum in Coupeville. Admission is free.
Recorded live in Crockett Barn, “Rebecca — The Story
of Rebecca Ebey” follows journals of one of Whidbey’s first settlers, Rebecca Ebey, wife of Isaac Ebey. Her story is touching and always enter-taining and documents early settler life on what is now known as Ebey’s Prairie.
Rebecca’s husband was a well-known Washington pio-
neer, homesteader, legislator and military commander. The story is told through the words of Rebecca Ebey’s diary, which began three months after her arrival on Whidbey Island in June of 1852 and ended abruptly with her death in September 1853.

The firefighting crew at Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue grew by three last week — temporarily, at least.
The winners of the an-nual Fire Safety Week draw-ing contest — fourth-grader Mimi Rose, second-grader Mason Peabody and kinder-gartener David Somes — got a VIP ride from Coupeville Elementary School to the station on a fire truck, where they were given a tour of the station and treated to a lunch of pizza, fruit and ice cream.
The young artists’ draw-ings were framed and pre-sented to them by Lt. Jen Porter. They will be hung in the school’s hall near the of-fice, along with the winning works from previous years.
“We’ve been doing this contest since 2007 to com-memorate Fire Safety Week,” said Porter. “This year’s theme was ‘Be Rabbit Ready - Know Two Ways Out.’”
The fire truck dwarfed the children, who were im-pressed, but not daunted by its size, clambering up into the back seat and strap-ping themselves in in record time. School principal David Ebersole, who served as the students’ escort, got to ride
along as well, but in the front seat.
Firefighters choose three winners each year. This was
the second win for Mimi Rose, whose fire safety draw-ing was also selected as a winner in 2010.

Central Whidbey fire safety week winners take a ride

Members of the Coupe-ville Elementary Leadership Club have had a great lesson in community service.
The group helped orga-nize a food drive in Decem-ber for Gifts From the Heart Food Bank. This was the sec-ond year the fourth-and fifth- graders, who belong to the leadership club, took on the community service project. According to club supervi-sor and Coupeville Elemen-tary teacher Jon Gabelein, students nearly doubled the amount of food collected last year and surpassed their goal for this year.
“They did so well, they almost doubled the goal,” he said. “They collected 1,813 items this year. The goal was 1,500 for the school. Last year they collected 1,041 items.”
The class was very enthu-siastic about their successful campaign. They said they watched and worried the first couple of weeks, then came up with a campaign to get students to bring in dona-tions. The last two weeks of the food drive, members of the leadership club came up with a script that was read during the announcements every day.
A big incentive to get chil-
dren to participate was the reward: all classrooms that reached their goal received a “Lollipop Dance” from school principal David Eber-sole. While that idea drove half the school to reach its goal, members of the leader-ship club wanted to reach the goal for another good reason.
“Everybody wants a good meal on the holidays and we wanted the school to be able to give them a good meal,” said Avalon Renninger, 10.
“It’s not about getting a surprise, but about helping people get food,” said 9-year-old Genna Wright.
“It’s not about receiving,” agreed Sean Toomey-Stout, 11. “It’s about showing you care so people don’t feel sad and left out at the holidays.”
Students had a good sys-tem in place. Each member of the leadership club was in charge of tallying up dona-tions for a particular class each week, and bringing those figures to Mr. Gabelein to track. As the piles of dona-tions grew larger, so did the students’ excitement.
“Whenever you would go past the boxes of food it would make you feel happy,” said Zoe Trujillo, 10.
“There was a lot of food,” said Luci Coleburn, 10. “When I looked at the pile at the end of the week there was three times as much as
we have at our house and it made me feel happy.”
“It was hard to carry all the boxes,” said Willow Vick, 11.
“Every tub was overflow-ing,” said Marenna Rebi-schke-Smith, 10.
“I got to type in all the numbers and when I looked at the grand total, I thought ‘This is going to be such a great year for all the families that need food,’” said 11-year-old Raven Vick.
“It gives you a good feel-ing,” said Anna Dion, 10. “It’s fun to know you’re help-ing to make someone happy.”
“We did it at the right time, because it felt good to help make someone’s Christ-mas,” said 11-year-old Maya Tooney-Stout.
All in all, it was a great lesson for these students, said Gabelein. “Now they know how rewarding it is to give back and that they can do it no matter how young they are,” he said.

Club and hosts speakers of all political walks.
Past presenters have ranged from county com-missioners and department heads – regardless of party – to a Superior Court judge and members of the military, said Rufus Rose, the modera-tor and one of the group’s founders.
“The only real rule is you have to be reasonably polite,” Rose said.
The crowd of about 40 people adhered to the rule very well, despite the direct approach Johnson took in
dealing with the complaints of a few critics, some of whom may have been in the room.
In fact, the freshman commissioner appeared to be fairly well received. One man, South Whidbey resident Chuck Leavitt, even credited Johnson with being one of the best speakers the group has had in years.
“I think we picked a win-ner, ladies and gentlemen,” Leavitt said. “In the words of the Navy, Bravo Zulu.”
Johnson covered a num-ber of topics during her
speech but seemed to spend much of her time on the de-fensive, justifying her reasons for making various decisions since taking office and even explaining her silence on se-lect issues this past Decem-ber, such as curbside recy-cling and proposed shooting rules.
She also addressed the more recent “hubbub” that arose out of conflict between the board of commissioner’s public meeting notice prac-tices and the Old Goats’ poli-cy regarding attendance.
Although technically not a club, as the lunch group has no bylaws or membership dues, attendance is by invita-tion only.
However, that policy came into question when a special meeting notice was released to the public and the media, prior to the luncheon,
when it was learned that Em-erson also planned to attend the event.
Emerson later decided not to go and the notice was rescinded, but not before many expressed outrage that the notice had been released without any consultation of the Old Goats group.
“It has me so God damn mad I can’t even see straight,” said a still-fuming Rose in an interview Mon-day.
Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, chairwoman of the board, took the brunt of the blame during the lun-cheon as it was her signature on the notice.
She and the rest of the board were blasted for being unfamiliar with the state’s Open Public Meeting Act and the rules regarding a quorum.
But Johnson was quick to defend her Democratic colleague, saying the genesis of the notice likely stemmed from a protective office staff and not with the board’s ap-pointed chairwoman.
Johnson also fielded com-plaints about inconsistencies in the acceptance of public comment during Monday and Wednesday meetings, to which the commissioner ac-knowledged recent problems.
“You should be able to look at the agenda and know. … It should be very clear to citizens what to expect,” Johnson said.
But despite some of the charged issues discussed, Johnson addressed what seemed to be a good-natured crowd, even if some said they still disagreed with a few of her positions.
“I’m one of those conser-
vatives that you referenced,” said John Merrill, an Oak Harbor resident. “I think I’m right, of course I know I am.”
His comment earned healthy laughter from the crowd but not nearly as much as his next statement.
“I know that unless you do it my way, it won’t be done correctly so you have a problem and I don’t,” Merrill said. “I can see you and I are going to have to discuss this problem from my perspec-tive.”
Rose agreed that the lun-cheon was a success.
A group of voters had the opportunity to learn a little more about their new com-missioner.
“I don’t know if it’s the best meeting we’ve ever had but it was pretty damn good,” Rose said.
JOHNSON: Commissioner meets with Old Goats
Ken $25,000 and Jan $121,750 .“It’s an incredible gift that she
gave,” said Pat Powell, executive director for the land trust. “I call her the heroine of Ebey’s reserve.”
Jan, however, just smiled at the compliment. She said she was happy to get anything at all. If no money had become available, she said she would have simply given the development rights away.
“Getting something out of it is fantastic. … I feel real good about it,” she said, with a smile.
“Living up here is a huge gift,” she said.
The Engle family also sold rights on 23 acres of property, located behind the bowling alley on Terry Road. Property owners included Len, Bob and Bill Engle and Joanne Brown.
Like the Pickards, the family had been waiting a long time for preservation funding to become available. The land could have been subdivided into four lots and sold for a greater price, but Len Engle said all agreed that preserva-tion was the direction they wanted to take.
“It just seemed like the right
thing to do,” he said.Finally, Judy Lynn sold the
rights to the large parcel of farm-land located south of Highway 20 just past Arnold Road. About 13 acres total, it’s the first piece of property protected in the reserve that’s North of Penn Cove.
Lynn inherited it from her partner, the late Val Arnold, who passed away from brain cancer in 2005. She was a fourth-generation Arnold and believed strongly in the value of preservation, Lynn said.
“She would be very happy to
know that this is protected and will never be developed,” Lynn said. “She was a farmer at heart.”
The money used to purchase the easements for all five properties – totaling more than $1.9 million – came from a variety of county, state and federal funding sources, Powell said.
The protection of about 150 acres at Crockett Lake came from similar sources along with two land donations: Mary Bicknell gave 17 acres to the land trust, and brothers Dixon and Kelle Burgess gave 5 acres.
Added up, the land trust raised about $2.5 million to preserve or buy outright all the properties pro-tected in the reserve in 2012.
While Powell gave special ku-dos to all the landowners involved, saying their willingness and gener-osity was extraordinary, those who worked with the organization said it was the land trust that should be recognized.
“The deep commitment of the staff and board continue to inspire all of us,” Preiss said.

3. Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun – all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place.
4. Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town, which means they typically reduce the risk of sprawl, congestion and pollution.

This Winter Season

The South Whidbey High School boys basketball team built a small first-half lead and then erupted in the fourth quarter to vanquish rival Coupeville 54-32 Friday in Langley.
The loss came after the Wolves also lost 60-33 at Lakewood Tuesday, Jan. 15.
After South Whidbey took a one-point first-quar-ter lead, 10-9, it outscored Coupeville 15-7 in the second to go up 25-16 halftime.
The Wolves narrowed the margin to four, 25-21, on Nick Streubel’s three-point play midway through the third period. South Whid-bey slowly rebuilt its advan-tage, finally reaching double figures, 37-26, when it hit two free throws to finish an 8-0 run as the third quarter ended.
From there the Falcons (2-8, 4-13) steadily pulled away.
The Wolves had a hard time slowing the South Whid-bey inside tandem of Nick French and Parker Collins, who finished with 19 and 14 points and helped the Fal-cons dominate the boards.
Aaron Trumbull led Coupeville with 10 point but missed time because of fouls. Fouls were a problem for Coupeville, and the Falcons hit 14 of 21 free throws to only six of 13 for the Wolves. The Falcons made seven of nine foul shots to help fuel their big fourth quarter.
South Whidbey used full-court pressure to create turn-overs and limit the offensive opportunities for the Wolves.
Coupeville finished with 21 turnovers. Coach Anthony Smith said, “That’s good for us, but still too many.”
The Wolves shot 32 per-cent (11-for-34).
Streubel finished with seven points, Ben Etzell six, Caleb Valko three and Morgan Payne two. Valko grabbed seven rebounds and Streubel six.
Smith said South Whid-bey hurt the Wolves with transition buckets and praised the Falcons for their intensity: “They play hard; they go for every loose ball.”
It’s never a good time to have players out sick, but Coupeville was missing two ailing starters at Lakewood (3-6, 5-10) and the timing couldn’t have been worse.
Coupeville broke a 33-game losing streak in its pre-vious game and was hoping the momentum of the win would lift them by Lake-wood. But with leading scor-er Etzell and running mate Aaron Curtin out, Smith had
only seven players available, and one of those had just one quarter of eligibility after playing three periods in the JV game.
To compound matters, Trumbull played only nine minutes because of foul trou-
ble and still led Coupeville with 10 points.
“He was having the game of his life,” Smith said, “and they fouled him out.”
The Wolves, energized by Saturday’s victory, played the Cougars tough in the first
quarter, trailing only 14-13. Lakewood’s Paul Coleman hit two big threes in the sec-ond period, and “it had a domino effect,” Smith said, and Lakewood led 33-22 at halftime.
“We played well all the way to halftime,” Smith said, “but we had no gas after half-time.”
Stumbling in the third quarter has been a problem all season for the Wolves, and it continued at Lakewood as the Cougars went on a 13-2 run.
This time the problem wasn’t turnovers; it was fa-tigue and not getting shots to drop. Coupeville had only 10 turnovers in the game, the lowest total in two years.
“We played them tough,” Smith said. “If we had our normal substitution rotation we could have played with them.”
Anthony Bergeron scored six points for Coupeville, Carson Risner five, Valko four, Streubel four, Payne three and Drew Chan one.
After six consecutive road games, the Wolves finally play at home at 7 p.m. Friday with Archbishop Murphy (7-3, 9-4).

Dominating the boards helped the South Whidbey High School girls basketball team dominate the game, defeating visiting Coupeville 49-25 Friday.
The Wolves also lost a heart-breaker 36-35 at home with Lake-wood Tuesday, Jan. 15.
South Whidbey out rebounded Coupeville 15-2 in the first quarter to roll to a 14-4 lead. The Falcons withstood a 6-0 Coupeville run in the second quarter and upped the rebounding margin to 24-9 in the second period, and as a result, pushed their lead on the scoreboard to 24-10 at halftime.
Coupeville coach David King said, “They really pounded the boards on the offensive end. They jumped out early and didn’t let up and we just couldn’t recover.”
The Wolves corrected the re-bounding problem in the third quarter, out boarding the Falcons 9-4, but developed another hitch, turnovers.
Coupeville scored the first four points of the second half to trim the lead to 10 but would get no closer as the turnovers mounted. After com-mitting only seven turnovers in the first half, the Wolves booted the ball nine times in the third quarter and trailed 34-16 heading into the fourth period.
King said his team picked up its defensive pressure and tried to push the ball in the fourth quarter, but “South Whidbey just had con-fidence and the momentum from outplaying us, and we were not able to mount a comeback.”
King did see some positives among individuals. He said, “Bessie (Walstad) played a smart game and looked to provide a spark on of-fense. Jai’Lysa Hoskins had another strong performance on the defensive end along with many hustle plays.
Bree (Messner) had a strong game from the point guard position with only three turnovers.”
King said, “We aren’t playing de-fense like we did earlier in the season when we were successful. We need to get back to defense first. Once we do this our offense will follow.”
The Wolves are working hard and having good practices, King said, but once they get behind in the games they “starting pressing and trying to do to much.”
Walstad led Coupeville with nine points, Amanda Fabrizi scored four, Hoskins three, Messner two, Lauren Escalle two, Haley Marx two, Hailey Hammer two and Madi Strasburg one.
Hayley Newman had 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Falcons.
South Whidbey (4-6, 9-8) moved a game ahead of Coupeville in the Cascade Conference standings (3-7, 5-11) with the win. It also avenged a 39-24 loss to the Wolves earlier this season.
Lakewood’s Reille Jones hit a free throw with 1.8 seconds left to help the Cougars upset Coupeville.
With the score tied at 35, Lake-wood (2-7, 5-9) retained possession with 19 seconds left. The Cougars ran down the clock for the final shot and attacked the hoop where the Wolves were whistled for a foul.
Jones hit the first free throw, missed the second and Coupeville rebounded and called time out.
Messner’s long three at the buzzer was short and Lakewood escaped with the win.
A slow start and another miser-able night at the foul line proved fatal for Coupeville.
Lakewood jumped to a 12-6 lead in the first quarter, then the Wolves sliced it to 20-18 with a run just be-fore halftime.
From there it was a see-saw battle and tied 27-27 after the third period.
In the first half, Coupeville hit its first two free throws then missed nine straight. For the game it made only three of 19.
The Wolves also had problems
with turnovers and hitting put-backs, according to King.
Fabrizi topped Coupeville with 10 points. Makana Stone finished with six; Messner, Hoskins and Walstad four; Escalle three; and Marx and Hammer two each.
Marissa Blair led Lakewood with 16 points, and Hailey Senyitko hit four three-pointers for 12 points.
Coupeville defeated the Cougars 40-32 in Lakewood earlier this year.
The Wolves (3-6, 5-10) battle first-place Archbishop Murphy (10-0, 13-2) at 7 p.m. Friday in Everett, then play their final home game at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, with last-place Granite Falls (0-10, 1-15).

A gentle giant that goes by the name Thunder has a predilection for treats.
He sniffs them out and rummages through coat pockets with his nimble equine lips until he gets what he’s after.
It’s a big change in per-sonality for the 10-year-old Thoroughbred gelding.
The big horse and a mare were seized from a North Whidbey man who neglected them and with-held proper food and medi-cal care.
Thunder was wary of people and a little defensive, but he’s been molded into a giant puppy dog of a horse thanks to the kindness and hard work of many volun-teers. And now he needs to find a permanent home.
Island County Ani-mal Control Officer Carol Barnes took the two horses into protective custody last summer, but found herself between a rock and a hard place.
Island County govern-ment doesn’t have any funds or facilities to deal with large animals.
Group seeking new home for rescued horse
Jessie Stensland Photo
Taryn McKay gives a kiss to Thunder, a neglected horse that her family fostered back to health.
Fortunately, the island is filled with people who love horses and are willing to help those in need. Barnes helped found Whidbey Island Farm Animal Assistance Program to defray the cost of feed, medical care and other neces-sities.
But Barnes said the horses really owe their lives to the many volun-
teers, who include Wendy Thorne, Pam Price, Kim Knott, Jerry Gravo, Jennifer Roberts, veterinarian Robert Moody and the M-Bar-C-Ranch.
Mike and Michelle McKay, along with their 16-year-old daughter Taryn, have fostered Thunder over the last four months and transformed him through the power of tender loving
care.“When he first got here, he
wouldn’t take treats and he wouldn’t take affection,” Michelle said.
Taryn, who rides in international competitions, has a great deal of expe-rience with horses and is very patient with them.
Her mother said she spent a lot
of time with Thunder and helped bring him out of his shell.
Nowadays the big lug enjoys interacting with peo-ple, especially when there’s treats involved.
He stands still for the vet, the horse chiropractor or the farrier.
“He’s come a long way in the trust department,” Mike said.
Thunder will soon be available for adoption at an approved qualified home. Barnes said he has a lot of potential and would make a good trail horse for an experienced rider. He’s a big horse, standing at about 16.2 hands.
Applications are avail-able at animal control at 360-240-5542.
The mare rescued along with Thunder has already been adopted by a North Whidbey family.
Donations to the Whid-bey Island Farm Animal Assistance Program can be mailed to WIFAAP, P.O. Box 402, Coupeville WA 98239.
The National Center for Disease Control recommends getting a flu vaccination every year. Getting vaccinated is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. Vaccination efforts should continue as long as influenza viruses are circulating.
Also, you can help stop the spread of influenza and other diseases by doing the following things:
• If you get sick with flu-like illness, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-re-ducing medicine.)
• Practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to pre-vent the spread of germs.
• Wash your hands regu-larly and avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Clean and disinfect fre-quently touched surfaces at home, work or school, espe-cially when someone is ill.
While not a substitute for vaccination, these steps can help prevent the spread
of respiratory viruses like influenza.
CDC conducts studies each year to determine how well the vaccine protects against illness.
These estimates provide more information about how well this season’s vaccine is
working.Findings from early data
suggest that this season’s vac-cine so far is reducing the risk of having to go to the doctor for influenza by about 60 per-cent for vaccinated people. The data are published in “Early Estimates of Seasonal
Influenza Vaccine Effective-ness — United States, Janu-ary 2013,” in the Jan. 11, 2013, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
These estimates are within the range of what is expected during seasons when most circulating influenza viruses
characterized by CDC are like the viruses included in the vaccine, which is what we are seeing this season.
These findings also are similar to those published in a recent meta-analysis, which summarized the benefits of influenza vaccines using data
from randomized controlled clinical trials. Influenza vac-cination, even with moderate effectiveness of about 60 per-cent, has been shown to also reduce flu-related illness.
