Traffic revision met with confusionBy Megan HansenCo-Editor
Months after the Coupeville Town Council approved an ordinance to change part of Front Street to a one-way road, city workers finally put up signs this month, causing some confu-sion for drivers.
The ordinance changes Front Street from South Main to Gould Street to a one-way road. The council members made the change as a way to mitigate
a small landslide along the road that took out part of the pedestrian walk-way.
The traffic revision wasn’t made un-til now due to the town’s limited staff and issues with getting all the neces-sary signs, said Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie.
Signs are posted at intersections on Center, Haller, Kinney and Clapp Streets, which all connect with Front Street.
However, there is no one-way sign
currently posted at Front Street and North Main Street.
This is causing some confusion for people, said Cindy Olson, who owns Aqua Gifts at that intersection.
Norrie said the absence of a one-way sign at North Main Street is being addressed and additional signage is coming.
Olson said she gets people stopping and running in specifically to ask her Megan Hansen photo
Changes to Front Street have some drivers scratching their heads.

A fifth-grader from the Tahoma School District isn’t sure how to react after a sea cucumber is placed into her hands during a Sea Lab class taught by Keith Ludemann at the Camp Casey Conference Center in Coupeville Monday. It was the first day of the season for the class.
Lab offers glimpse into sea lifeBy Ron NewberryStaff Reporter
Keith Ludemann’s fascination with marine life and the natural world dates back more than a half century, even before the Navy brought him to Whidbey Island in 1962.
But his full appreciation for such creatures can be traced back to one day in the 1980s inside a small building in Coupeville not far from the sea.
“The octopus is the most intelligent animal in the world that does not have a backbone,” Ludemann said, recounting his tale to a group
of fifth graders this week during the marine biology class he teaches inside the Sea Lab at the Camp Casey Conference Center.
On that day, three decades ago, Ludemann was preparing to feed a giant Pacific Octopus that he and his son had caught, placed in a large aquarium and grown quite fond of.
At 16 feet in diameter, the octopus had a massive reach and learned to shake Lude-mann’s hand.
But when Ludemann presented a crab for breakfast to the octopus, then playfully pulled it back, the fun was over as the octopus latched on to his arm and a new level of re-
spect was born.“I came off the floor,” Ludemann said.“I said, ‘OK. OK. You can have your

The week of the Penn Cove Musself-est, event organizers didn’t know if they were going to be able to use the commu-nity green for parking.
Throughout the week, they checked with officials each day for an update, finally getting the OK Friday, the day be-fore the event began.
“That was very uncomfortable,” said event organizer Cindy Olson, adding that event organizers and city workers were on “pins and needles.”
With an estimated 10,000 people com-ing through Coupeville that weekend, visitors parked wherever they could find a spot.
Organizers tried to prepare for the parking eventualities in case the com-munity green next to the library had not been available, Olson said. Though it was used in the end, additional parking was needed, even across town.
“Our parking issue is a creation of our overall success with all of our events, and as with any small community it is going to cause problems which are not easily solved,” said Lynda Eccles, executive director for the Coupeville Chamber of
Coupeville School Dis-trict will purchase a new bus
for the coming school year.The new bus will run on
propane, which is cheaper,
more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly, of-ficials say.
Scott Losey, maintenance and transportation supervi-sor for the district, said he started looking at the pro-pane buses after Oak Harbor started making the switch.
Coupeville currently con-tracts with Oak Harbor for bus maintenance so the dis-trict already has experience for any maintenance Coupe-ville might need.
The cost to install a new propane fuel tank will be minimal with the deal Losey worked out, which includes a year of free fuel.
The new fuel station would be a summer project, Losey said. And he hopes to have the bus running next year.

crab.’”In more than 30 years of
sharing his passion for sea life at the Sea Lab, it is one of Ludemann’s favorite stories.
After retiring from the Navy and then retiring as caretaker of the Camp Casey campus of Seattle Pacific University, Ludemann has continued to teach young visitors about the sea.
“He can seem to be kind of gruff, but then you get to know him,” said Robyn My-ers, manager of conference services at Camp Casey and the Fort Casey Inn. “The kids love him.”
Wide-eyed students from the Tahoma School District crammed inside the Sea Lab Monday to kick off a new season that will stretch into June for Ludemann.
Marine creatures such as sea cucumbers, crabs, sea ur-chins, octopuses, sea slugs, a wolf eel and lingcod were col-lected by divers just offshore in Admiralty Inlet over the weekend and were put on dis-play in open basins and large aquariums for students to see and derive knowledge.
Seawater is pumped from the nearby Puget Sound into the basins to keep the wa-ter fresh and circulating for the benefit of the creatures, which are all released back into the Sound at the end of the season.
Through enough col-lege courses that could have landed him a degree in ma-rine biology had he pursued it, Ludemann has acquired a vast sea of knowledge that he shares to enlighten children’s lives and enrich his own.
He got motivated to teach
kids about the proper treat-ment of marine animals after witnessing instances of abuse decades ago.
“They’re God’s crea-tures,” he said. “He put us here to take of this stuff, not to use and abuse it.”
Ludemann, who lives in Oak Harbor, had little trou-ble keeping students’ atten-tion Monday as he displayed sea animals and shared facts about them.
He carried around a crab that lifted a cap off a child’s head with its pincher, a sea cucumber that squirted water and a massive moon snail that rested in his hands.
“The moon snail is a carni-vore,” Ludemann said. “They drill holes through clam shells and then they eat the clam.”
Ludemann figures he’ll teach more than 100 Sea Lab lessons this season as part of the outdoor education offered to campers and day-trippers from nonprofit groups at Camp Casey. The Sea Lab class is offered separately at $50 per group.
It’s a labor of love for the man from Moorhead, Minn., whose interest in nature start-ed the moment he was stung by a bee as a young boy.
Now, he’s dodging crabs’ pinchers in order to educate kids, along with lighter tasks.
He reached into the salt-water tub and pulled out a living sponge, a bottom-dwelling creature.
“No, it’s not SpongeBob!” he told the students with his gruff voice. “It doesn’t have square pants.”

Market starts SaturdayBy Megan HansenCo-Editor
A mild winter and early spring means visitors will have more variety at the start of the Coupeville Farmers Market Saturday.
Gearing up for its 37th consecutive year, the market will hold its regular schedule of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays at the Coupeville Commu-nity Green.
Coupeville’s market is the third oldest market in the sec-ond oldest town in Washing-ton, said market manager Peg Tennant.
Because of the mild weather, visitors will likely see more produce vendors earlier in the market season.
“It’s an early spring so we’ll have early market greens,” she said.
Fresh produce like rhu-bard, broccolini and other winter produce may also be found.
Market vendor Dorothy Mueller said the ground is warmer this spring and there was relatively no freeze dur-ing the winter.
Because of this some win-ter vegetables are still being harvested and farmers will be able to plant earlier than usual.
Mueller and her Bells
Farm are still harvesting swiss chard, carrots, spinach and beets.
She said she will begin planting additional crops of spinach, cabbage, carrots, peas and kohlrabi this week with the first crops ready to harvest in about six weeks. She said almost everything but beans and corn can be planted now.
The market averages about 32 vendors each year, with a minimum of five full- time farmers to ensure it maintains its farmers market status.
Because of some food regulation changes on home kitchens, Tennant said she’s lost a couple of vendors.
Hot food vendor Hot Rock Pizza does plan on returning from time-to-time throughout the season. Other hot food vendors include a taco vendor and kettle corn.
Due to changes in the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival schedule, the market will be open during National Farmer’s Market Apprecia-tion Week, Aug. 8.
“We’re thinking of special things we can do,” Tennant said.
The market will also be open Saturday, July 4.
Opening day will include the Opening Day Market
Basket Givewaway, which features goods from many of the vendors.
For every $10 spent in one booth, a person will get a ticket.
The winner will be chosen at 1:45 p.m. and need not be present to win.
However, they must be able to meet up with Tennant within 24 hours to ensure basket freshness.

Coupeville’s Commu-nity Garden will once again open to the public starting May 1.
The town has 60 plots available for gardeners on the property located by Broadway Street and State Highway 20 near the Four Square Church.
Garden plots are 10 feet by 12 feet and cost $30 for the season.
Applications are avail-able on the town website and at Town Hall.
The project started five or six years ago after some residents were reading about how other communities have gardens.
The first year the garden got started, the town worked with the Coupeville Garden Club to create plots and get the soil ready.
The town built a fence around the garden to keep deer out and created 60 plots
for organic vegetable, flower and herb gardening. Central Whidbey Lions built a shed while people in the commu-nity donated tools. Water is available on-site.
“So if you had nothing, you could still get going,” Conard said.
Gardens open May 1 and close Oct. 31. Conard said the plots will be tilled and ready to go.
The garden is an organic program and the use of pes-ticides and other chemicals is not allowed. A list of rules and guidelines can be found at www.townofcoupeville.org under “Documents & Info.”
Plots are open to anyone
interested in gardening and renters don’t have to live in the town.
“We don’t ever fill up,” Conard said. “We’ll keep putting plots out until they’re gone.”
There’s also flexibility if a gardener wants multiple plots.
“You can decide how you want to do it.
Conard said Gifts from the Heart food bank even rents some plots for some of their patrons to use and sug-gests for those who produce more than they can eat to donate the extra harvest.
Community Garden open May 1

ExaminerThe Whidbey
We need to protect our Whidbey Island forest for the futureEditor,
I have found two recent pieces in The Whidbey Examiner to be particularly interesting and, in one case, quite disturb-ing. I am referring to the front page article “Acres clear cut as part of regrowth” in the March 12, 2015 edition.
The response by Elliott Menashe the following week (March 19) was to the point and clarified many of the inac-curacies in the previous article that painted the clearcut in positive terms.
My comments focus on a different problem that is in-creasingly widespread on Whidbey Island — the excessive logging and conversion of forest land.
We live in a very special place. This place is both gift and blessing to the current residents and visitors. It is a place with both state parks and preserves where all can enjoy cre-ation in its magnificent splendor.
When one walks the paths in Deception Pass State Park and South Whidbey State Park, it is like stepping back in time into a glorious, living cathedral. But did you know that these postage stamp sized preserves represent the best that remains of the once-expansive, low-elevation old-growth forests west of the Cascades? Indeed, less than 0.1 percent of these old-growth forests remain standing. Yes, that is less than one-tenth of one percent.
Deception Pass State Park is the second largest stand of old growth west of the Cascades (outside of the Olympic Na-tional Park).
The largest stand is fewer than 5,000 acres in Moran State Park on Orcas Island. Deception Pass is said to be Washing-
ton’s most popular state Park — and no wonder. Whidbey Island benefits greatly from the tourist dollars
that flow from the million-plus visitors who come to experi-ence these few remaining crown jewels on Whidbey.
But as visitors drive our roads, what else do they see — obscene acres of destruction as one forest patch after anoth-er falls to chainsaws.
Yes, we need forest products, but we have already taken 99.9 percent of the historic forests. How much is enough? How much is too much?
Did you know that based on a recent study, Island Coun-ty has twice the conversion rate of our forest land to other uses than the surrounding counties?
Elliott Menashe is right. We need to rethink what we do with our island.
The monetary dollars benefiting the island community from a clearcut is trivial. The tax code needs to be revised to encourage those who steward forest land to protect a sig-nificant amount for future generations and for the integrity of the forest ecosystem that provides the air we breathe, the water we depend on and the home for the creatures for which we too serve as stewards.
Tax breaks should be provided not only for agricultural land and land managed for timber production, but also for land set aside for re-growing our rare old-growth forest eco-system from which longterm financial, aesthetic and spiri-tual benefits will flow.
Thanks for listening. Your children, grandchildren and the creatures we share this island with await your responsible action. Protect Whidbey forests for the future.

Parking always becomes a topic of conversation before, during and after any major event in Coupe-ville.
For a small town that is so heavily dependent on tourism dollars, the community is continually look-ing at ways to market itself and bring people in.
But is Coupeville biting off more than it can chew?
This year’s Musselfest could have had some ma-jor problems had event organizers not been allowed to use the community green for parking.
Amazing weather brought in an estimated 10,000 people into town. While the green was used, visitors had to find additional parking on side streets, church parking lots and even across town at the high school.
Having too many people show up to an event is definitely a good problem to have, but it’s also something the community needs to start looking at with a serious eye.
The short-term solution for parking is already being handled by identifying smaller parking lots and the possibility of shuttling people from the other side of town.
But what about a longterm plan?The Community Green Plan is rich with ideas,
including a gradient system built into the grass that would address the town’s concern of vehicles tear-ing up the grass when its too wet.
The issue right now is funding.Pretty soon the town will start seeing additional
tax dollars coming into town coffers when con-struction on the hospital expansion starts.
Mayor Nancy Conard has said in the past that one-time revenue boosts from special construction projects are generally used for one-time expenses.
This seems like the perfect opportunity for the town council to earmark funds to finally get this plan underway.
It would definitely bring added value and secu-rity for those actively promoting our tourist-friend-ly town.
Town should consider using bond dollars for green parking

Over the years, we Whid-bey dwellers have developed our own language. Let’s call it Rockish. It usually consists of a phrase or two mingled into common America-speak, which itself is derived – some would say deteriorated – from the Queen’s English.
Take, for instance, “off-island.” This Rockish phrase may convey several quite dif-ferent meanings. When we tell a neighbor we are headed “off-island,” it may draw a disapproving scowl or an-guished expression.
The hearer interprets it to mean that the Rock dweller is sneaking off to America to do something unsustainable, non-local, ungreen, climate-degrading, selfish, material-istic, etc.
Things like buying dou-ble-ply toilet paper at Costco, or eating fast food from a drive-through, or loading up on cheap California wine at Trader Joe’s, or lusting after
stuff we don’t need at an out-let mall.
“Off-island,” therefore, may be interpreted as some-thing not good for the Rock or the Rock dweller. But it may also have a less toxic meaning. Something like, “We’re going to visit friends or grandchildren who un-fortunately live in America,” or “We’re off to a concert or a Seahawks or Mariners game.”
Such cross-cultural ex-changes are deemed accept-able because they help build peace and understanding with tribes in America. Even if fossil fuels must be burned in the process. We Rock
dwellers are big believers in peace and understanding among all tribes.
Lately I have become intrigued by a new phrase creeping into our Rockish language: “up-island.” This is a culturally loaded and dangerous phrase because it publicly exposes the tribal fissures within our beloved Rock that we sometimes pre-tend don’t exist.
I heard a friend from Langley use the term “up-is-land” a few months ago when he rather sheepishly told me, “I really hate to do it, but I have to go up-island for a medical appointment next week.” Now I live in Coupe-
ville but I never say I have to go “down-island” to catch the ferry or grab a bite at Neil’s Clover Patch Cafe in Bay-view. So why would someone from Langley say they’re go-ing “up-island” and then add the negative qualifier that it’s something they “have” to do?
Blame it on the Rock’s mi-cro cultures. Clinton, Lang-ley, Freeland, Coupeville, San de Fuca, Oak Harbor. Not to mention the “planned com-munities” along the way like Teronda West, Ledgewood and Sierra Country Club, to name a few. Yes, we’re all Rock dwellers but we’re not all the same. And further-more we don’t like to be iden-
tified with the others, or at least the ones we don’t much care for.
My Langley friend would rather pay for a ferry ride to buy a garden tool at Lowe’s in Lynnwood than drive to Home Depot in Oak Harbor. My Oak Harbor friend rarely sets foot in Langley because he isn’t quite sure folks there support the Constitution. Living in Coupeville, I try to stay neutral in such intra-Rock squabbles.
Besides, Langley’s just too far to drive and Oak Harbor’s just too big. And the Red Apple in Prairie Center has just about everything I could need.

Don’t let root weevils carve up your hard work
If you’re looking for a low maintenance, low growing perennial that likes both full sun and shady gardens, Ber-genia might do the trick.
This Asian member of the Saxifragaceae family has large paddle-shaped ev-ergreen leaves that can turn reddish during the winter or in full sun. Slowly spreading
from rhizomes that are easily divided, they grow in clus-ters. From the center of each plant, a thick flower stalk emerges in the spring topped by a spray of medium sized white, pink or red flowers.
Bergenia are pretty dis-ease resistant, but they can fall prey to root weevils. A sure sign weevils are at work are leaves whose edges look like they’ve been trimmed with a pair of banged up pinking shears.
If this kind of damage sounds familiar, that might be because you’ve already seen it on rhodies. The culprit can be any of several variet-ies of weevil that inhabits the nearby woods and does
similar damage to salal and huckleberries. They can’t fly, but populations of them can slowly make their way over time from those native plants to your flower beds.
The damage you see right now probably happened dur-ing the late spring, summer or fall when adults emerge and start to feed. During the winter, adults remain inac-tive underground along side of the larvae, which nibble on tender roots. Around May, however, they’ll emerge from the soil at night like vampires, crawl up plant stems to chew on foliage, then return to hide below by sunrise.
If you don’t like what weevils are doing to your
Bergenia – and possibly your rhodies – you can catch them, discourage them or kill them.
To catch them, head out with a flashlight in the middle of the night, put newspa-per around the base of your plants and shake the leaves. Or pick them off. Or you can try putting pleated burlap or rolled up cardboard under the plants during the day and hope to catch some of the critters hiding there the next day.
You can try any number of sticky products around the stems to ensnare or discour-age them. This would prob-ably work better with rhodies than Bergenia, obviously. Just make sure the product
you use doesn’t damage bark or other plant tissues. Cof-fee grounds are also said to discourage them. Just spread them around the base of your plants. The success of this may depend upon how ad-dicted you are to caffeine and the amount of grounds you can rustle up.
Remember, anything that’s meant to keep weevils from climbing up the stems will easily be circumvented by foliage that’s allowed to droop and touch the ground or other climbable surfaces.
Finally, you can kill them. Read the label on any pesti-cide carefully and use it cor-rectly. Never apply pesticides on flowers as it will kill your
pollinators. Carefully apply it to all foliage surfaces and know it will kill any visit-ing beneficial insects along with the bad guys. Pesticides should always be your last resort.
Instead, try an application of beneficial nematodes as a counter attack against ma-rauding weevils. Here again, make sure you follow the directions, not because nema-todes can harm humans, but if applied in the sunlight or in too dry or too cold conditions they will all per-ish before they can do their job. And by the time you’ve gotten to this point in your battle, you’ll really want them to do their job.

Three Coupeville High School spring sports teams made successful debuts in the Olympic League last week.
The tennis, softball and baseball teams (behind a no-hitter) all won their first-ever Olympic League contests to begin journeys to conference crowns.
The soccer team also joined the victory parade. The Wolves have yet to play a conference game (the first is April 16), but they did collect their first win of the season, defeating Forks 4-0.
Tennis top EaglesThe Wolves ripped visit-
ing Klahowya 6-1 Thursday, March 26, in their Olym-pic League opener but were nipped 4-3 at Granite Falls Friday, March 27, in a non-league match.
The win over the Eagles was spurred by a sweep of the singles matches: 1, Jacki Gin-nings won 6-2, 6-1; 2, Valen Trujillo won 6-1, 6-1; and 3, Ana Luvera won by default.
The Wolves tacked on three wins in the doubles matches: 2, Payton Apari-cio/McKenzie Bailey won 6-2, 6-2; 3, Ivy Luvera/Micky LeVine won 6-4, 6-1; and 4, Wynter Thorne/Jazmine Franklin won 6-1, 6-0.
Against Granite Falls, winning for the Wolves were fourth singles Ana Luvera (7-
5, 6-1), second doubles Sage Renninger and Thorne (6-1, 7-6[8-6]) and third doubles Ivy Luvera and LeVine (6-1, 6-3).
Coupeville (1-2) plays at
Friday Harbor at 2:30 p.m. Friday, April 3.
Softball rips ’HawksThe 19-11 win by Coupe-
ville at Port Townsend Fri-day, March 27, was signifi-cant on several levels.
It was the Wolves’ first win of the season, and Dean-na Rafferty’s first win as a varsity softball coach.
It was also a conference win, and a win in the Wolves’ first-ever Olympic League game.
And, it was a breakout game for the Coupeville of-fense, piling up 19 runs after tallying only one in the first two games.
Coupeville jumped ahead 6-0, fell behind 9-7 and then scored 12 runs over the last two innings to complete the roller coaster ride.
McKayla Bailey was 4-for-5 with a double and three RBI, Lauren Rose went 3-for-6 with four RBI, Hope Lodell ripped a double and drove in three runs and Heather Nas-tali had two hits.
Coupeville (1-2) hosts Lynden Christian (1-2) at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 1.
Baseball blanks PTCoupeville’s Aaron Cur-
tin threw a five-inning no-hitter, striking out nine and
walking one, in the Wolves’ 11-0 win at Port Townsend Friday, March 27, in the Olympic League opener.
Kyle Bodamer went 2-for-2 with a double and four RBI, Cole Payne finished 2-for-2 with a double, Carson Risner was 2-for-3 with two RBI and Jake Hoagland ripped a run-scoring single.
The Wolves also lost 10-4 at Archbishop Murphy Sat-urday in a non-league game. Coupeville committed five er-rors that led to five unearned runs.
Bodamer was 3-for-4 and Curtin had two hits, includ-ing a two-run triple.
Coupeville (2-3) travels to Cedarcrest (4-1) at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 2.
Soccer stops ForksAbraham Leyva Elenes
scored two goals and Joel Walstad and Ryan Free-man one each as Coupeville thumped visiting Forks 4-0 Saturday, March 28.
Walstad pulled double duty. He started in the goal for the Wolves and teamed with Connor McCormick, who played in the second half, for the shutout.
The win helped ease the sting of a 3-2 overtime loss to visiting Cascade Christian Wednesday, March 25.
The Cougars scored with one minute left in overtime to squeak out the win.
Leyva Elenes scored both goals for Coupeville.
Coupeville (1-4) goes to Vashon Island at noon Satur-day, April 11.
Track wins 2 eventsDalton Martin and the
girls 4x200 relay team were winners in Coupeville’s first Olympic League track meet in a six-team contest at Kingston High School Thursday, March 26.
Because of problems with the timing and judging sys-tems, no times were recorded for the first heat of the boys 200 and there were issues figuring out the final team scores.
Unofficially, North Kitsap won the boys meet with 80 points, followed by Kingston (30), Port Townsend (23) and Coupeville (21).
NK also won the girls meet with 100 points, Coupe-ville and Kingston recorded 28 and Port Townsend 10.
Non-Olympic League schools Neah Bay and Clal-lam Bay also took part in the meet but were not figured in the scoring.
Martin won the discus (130-06), placed second in the shot put (39-08) and ran
on the third-place 4x100 re-lay team (46.65) with Jared Helmstadter, Lathom Kelley and Mitchell Carroll to lead the Coupeville boys.
Kelley was second in the javelin (123-01), Helmstadter grabbed third in the 400 (56.3) and Jacob Smith was fourth in the 200 (25.5) and 400 (57.52).
The girls’ top showing came in the relays.
Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Grove and Makana Stone won the 4x200 (time not reported) and placed second in the 4x100 (53.13).
Etzell, Abby Parker, Lau-ren Bayne and Kirsten Pelroy finished third in the 4x400 (4:45.91).
Bayne was also strong in individual events, placing sec-ond in the 1,600 (6:14.33) and third in the 800 (2:52.76).
Skyler Lawrence placed third in the discus (71-02) and shot put (27-03.5), and Naika Hailam was third in the jav-elin (68-05).
The Wolves compete at South Whidbey along with Archbishop Murphy and Granite Falls at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 2.

about parking in that area and frequently sees people parking in the wrong direc-tion.
She said it’s been quite confusing for drivers, in-cluding herself.
The problem, Norrie said, is people are still mak-ing left-hand turns at Cen-ter Street.
Drivers can only park
on the south side of Front Street from Main to Center and may only enter that portion of the road from North Main Street.
Currently people are still parking on both sides and sometimes in the wrong direction.
“You just can’t have a drastic change and have people understand it,” Nor-rie said. “You have to work with everybody.”
“We’re massaging it along, taking baby steps,” he added.
Norrie said his main focus in that area right now has been educating drivers about the changes. He said he does anticipate some revisions to parking on the one block in the future.
While approving the traffic revisions, council members discussed mak-ing additional changes to
the area, including possibly continuing the boardwalk to connect with the pedes-trian walkway.
Those projects are currently unfunded, said Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard. The earliest she would expect any further discussion of funding those projects would be next fall.
Revision: One-way causes some confusionFrom page 1
Commerce.The problem with the
community green is all about sogginess. If the grassy land is too wet, park-ing isn’t allowed.
“The green has always been the answer to addi-tional parking, however, there are times when this is not possible because of the drainage on the field,” Eccles said. “Even the (farmers) market has had to use the parking lot in the early part of the season if we have had a lot of rain.”
Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said concerns over using the community green primarily happen during the shoulder season.
“It’s great to have some-thing like (Musselfest) on the shoulder season,” she said. “One of the challenges is you never know if you’re going to get good weather or bad weather.”
Wet weather did close one area previously used for parking — the grass lot next to Town Hall.
In the future, Conard suggested event organizers look at working more with schools, churches and the county for parking.
This is something, Olson said, they are already doing.
“As an event planner, I feel we’ve done everything we can do accommodate parking,” Olson said.
A longterm option to ad-dress ongoing uncertainty over the use of the commu-nity green during wet sea-sons is development of the community green plan.
The Town of Coupeville developed a plan in 2011, but has yet to move forward with the proposals, which include the addition of a bathroom, lighting and a potential gra-dient system built into the grass area, which would give the area structure and solve
many of the concerns about vehicles tearing up the grass when wet.
Conard said the town hasn’t moved forward with the community green plan due to a lack of funding and other priorities.
“But we do have some money earmarked for a bathroom and lighting,” she said. “That whole develop-ment on that parking lot is on the radar.”
For the foreseeable fu-ture, organizers are continu-ing to look at options.
“Because there is no im-mediate answer to this prob-lem I think we have to look at a Plan B for any event in the future where parking is going to be a major problem rather than dwell on what we cannot control,” Eccles said. “I don’t want to see Coupe-ville full of black-top park-ing lots, and it won’t happen anyway.”
The largest expense for Musselfest for the Coupe-ville Historic Waterfront Association was the shuttle service the group uses to transport chowder tasters around.
Organizers actually add-ed another shuttle this year that transported people who ended up parking down at the high school.
Cuts to Island Transit also affected the event.
“It was such a unique situation for us not to have a Saturday bus,” Olson said. “We got quite a few calls about that.”
Because of that, Olson said the association is ex-ploring some other kind of bus service.
“I think we’re doing bet-ter and better,” she said. “For every event you have to have parking, toilets and trash. The town has to con-tinue to grow with us.”
Parking: Large crowds during shoulder season raise space concernsFrom page 1
The Coupeville Ferry terminal will be closed on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3 for around-the-clock repairs to the transfer span that connects the ferry to the dock. There will be no service on the Port Townsend/Coupeville route during this time.
The closure dates were negotiated with all community lead-ers on Whidbey Island a few months ago, according to Ralph Young from the Ferry Advisory Committee.
