Filing Week fills seats, but doesn’t bring race competition

By Megan HansenCo-Editor

As Filing Week drew to a close Friday, open seats throughout local Coupeville government filled, but all without chal-lengers.

The second half of the candidate filing period did bring two new candidates for Port of Coupeville.

David Mishasek, a Coupeville trans-plant, filed for the position being vacated by appointed commissioner John Carr.

He said he first considered running for the port after seeking information about the Greenbank Farm’s solar energy proj-ect.

After running into a past employee of the port, Mishasek said he started re-searching the government agency and picking brains of those involved with its in-

Teacher earns state recognition

When Wilbur Purdue heard his name announced during a ceremony recogniz-ing the state’s top achievers in history, he wasn’t sure what was going on.

“I thought maybe I left the lights on in the car,” Purdue said. “My wife said I looked angry and confused. I was con-fused.”

Purdue admits he had partly tuned out the lengthy awards ceremony during Washington State History Day at Green River Community College in Auburn earlier this month because the category in which his Coupeville students were entered had long since passed.

But when it came time to recognize the state’s top teachers in connection with Na-

Ken Hofkamp was at a loss for words.Standing underneath a tent outside his

Prairie Center Red Apple store, he was pre-paring to grill some hot dogs when a parade of people suddenly approached on foot.

When they started singing, Hofkamp real-ized something was up.

“I wasn’t even paying attention,” he said. “That corner’s always so busy. You never know who’s doing what.”

More than 50 friends and supporters showed up at the Prairie Center store Satur-day morning to thank the store owner for his 43 years of supporting the Coupeville com-munity.

There was neither a retirement to celebrate nor a signature anniversary to recognize, just a heartfelt thank you for a soft-spoken man who’s become a pillar in the community.

“He purchased the store from Muriel and Herb Pickard,” said Margie Parker, who or-

ganized the surprise event. “They owned the store and the lumberyard. They were very generous with the community. He’s continued that legacy.”

Muriel Pickard was among the familiar faces in the crowd who surprised Hofkamp.

She was in on one of the town’s best-kept secrets as was Mayor Nancy Conard.

“It was totally a surprise,” Hofkamp said.The idea started with Parker and quickly

gained steam with several individuals and groups jumping on board, including Whidbey Island’s own Shifty Sailors, who customized lyrics to two songs and sang along with the

group.Conard even typed up an official an-

nouncement, proclaiming the May 16, 2015 as Ken Hofkamp Day in Coupeville.

“This is my favorite kind of Coupeville day, recognizing people who make this com-munity so great,” Conard said.

Conard, who grew up in Coupeville, said she’s been a regular at the store as far back as she can remember, supporting a business and its owner who has continually given back to the community.

Surprise! May 16 named Ken Hofkamp Day in Coupeville

Rory Westmoreland is out of jail after serving 75 days earlier this year, but his trou-bles are far from over.

The former owner of the Deep Sea crab boat — which burned, sank and spilled fuel in Penn Cove — is facing an-other lawsuit.

This time, a team of lawyers for the federal gov-ernment filed a complaint against the Renton scrap-metal dealer in U.S. District Court, demanding reim-bursement for clean-up costs in excess of $2.79 million.

The lawsuit was filed May 11, one day shy of the three-year anniversary of the ca-lamity that spilled 5,555 gal-lons of diesel fuel and forced the closure of Penn Cove Shellfish for a month.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Oil Spill Liabil-ity Trust Fund, which reim-burses agencies for the cost of spill-related cleanup.

In January, the state At-torney General’s Office, representing the Department of Natural Resources, filed a lawsuit against Westmore-land in Island County Supe-

rior Court. The suit aims to recoup

costs $1.2 million in costs incurred in disposing of the vessel.

The Department of Ecol-ogy last year fined Westmore-land $301,000 for the oil spill that resulted from the Deep Sea sinking.

The Island County Pros-ecutor’s Office also got into the action, charging Westmo-reland with vessel abandon-ment, a misdemeanor crime. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 75 days in jail and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.

Deputy Prosecutor Chris Anderson laid out the back-ground of the environmen-tal mishap in a sentencing memorandum.

Westmoreland, the owner of Northwest Steel & Recy-cling, purchased the 141-foot, steel-hulled crab boat from the Port of Seattle for $2,500 in November of 2011.

Instead of taking the boat to dry dock, he had it towed to Penn Cove, where it was illegally anchored in state-owned tidelands in Decem-ber of 2011.

The state Department of Natural Resources first

contacted Westmoreland in January 2012 and informed him that he either needed to remove the vessel or ob-tain authorization to keep it moored in Penn Cove.

In March 2012, the DNR sent Westmoreland a notice of trespass that stated he would be fined for every day he failed to remove the vessel.

On the night of May 12, 2012, the Deep Sea caught fire in what was later deter-mined to be arson. It sank to the bottom and spilled fuel.

The DNR contacted Westmoreland, who said he did not plan on taking responsibility for raising the vessel, but suggested that it be left on the bottom of Penn Cove. He said he did not know how the fire started but said he thought it might have been “kids playing with matches,” the memorandum states.

Anderson noted that Westmoreland was never charged with arson in con-nection with the burning of the Deep Sea.

After the Deep Sea disas-ter, state lawmakers tough-ened the laws regarding derelict vessels and the state’s response.

The streets of Coupe-ville will be filled to the brim with patriotism Sat-urday, May 23 as the an-nual Memorial Day Parade makes its way down Main Street.

The parade starts at 11 a.m. at South Main Street and Terry Road and will go down Main Street to Front Street, up Alexander Street, turning on Coveland Street and ending at Coupeville Town Park.

At the park a Remem-brance Ceremony will be held featuring represen-

tatives from Coupeville, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and veterans.

The All-Island Com-munity Band will perform a “Musical Salute to the Armed Services” and after the ceremony free hotdogs and drinks will be served until gone, said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce.

While Coupeville holds the only Memorial Day pa-rade on Whidbey Island, it isn’t exclusively for Coupe-ville. Residents from all over Whidbey and visitors attend the event.

“It’s a fun event,” Eccles

said. “I think people do come from off island be-cause it’s so unique.

“It’s a special parade.”Community groups and

organizations from all over the island participate in the parade.

Veterans from around the area can be seen along the parade route riding in classic cars.

This year’s parade grand marshal is Harold Johnson, a Pearl Harbor survivor who was aboard the USS Oklahoma and remain-ing member of a survivor’s group that participates in Coupeville’s celebration each year.

tional History Day, Purdue had no idea that some of his students and their parents had nominated him.

Purdue, who teaches at Coupeville High School, was one of only two teachers from Washington who were rec-ognized.

He received $500, a plaque and was the state’s only high school teacher nominated for the national Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award.

The nominees are those who have shown “outstand-ing creativity, commitment and inspiration in developing student interest in history,” according to a National His-tory Day release.

Purdue, who is a science teacher, has taught an after-

school program through National History Day in 12 of the 13 years he’s worked in Coupeville.

The project-based pro-gram with an annual compe-tition focuses on history for students in sixth through 12th grade.

Several Coupeville stu-dents over the years have ad-vanced to the national level.

“Wilbur is the consum-mate, extra, go-above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty type of teacher working with these History Day kids,” said Superintendent Jim Shank. “We’ve had great perfor-mances from students. He gets in there and takes care of business with them. He’s that kind of teacher.”

“I’ve had 140-plus kids in the program over the last 12

years,” said Purdue, who also participated in the program when he was a student in Coupeville. “Forty of those made it to the national level for competition and several gained first in the nation. Coupeville has a long history of doing well.”

Purdue, who earned a

bachelor’s degree in history at the University of Washing-ton, said the community has been incredibly supportive over the years.

“No kid has ever had to pay their own way to a na-tional or state contest,” he said.

ner workings.Mishasek and his wife,

Meg, moved to Coupeville from Colorado in March of 2014.

While they moved for retirement, the couple said they still wanted to be in-volved so both joined the board for the Economic De-velopment Council.

“This feels a little meati-er,” he said. “It’s real issues, real problems.”

Mishasek has a back-ground in business, primar-ily in the healthcare field, and has owned his own business.

He said he views both the wharf and Greenbank Farm as valuable assets that need to be preserved and protected — all while main-taining the port’s budget.

Also filing for an open port seat, William Bell, owner of Local Grown, filed for the seat currently held by long-standing com-missioner Marshall Bron-son.

Bell is selling his coffee shop that currently operates at the wharf to David and Pat Howell, former Coupe-ville residents who are mov-ing back.

Pat Howell said at last week’s port meeting the sale is expected to go through June 8 or 9.

Bell did not return calls for comment.

Molly Hughes was the only person to file for the mayor race and three coun-cil seats will be filled by newcomers Lisa Bernhardt, Catherine Ballay and in-cumbent Jackie Henderson.

Glenda Merwine and Christine Sears both filed for their seats on the Coupe-ville School Board unop-posed and Steve Hutchin-son filed unopposed for the Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue Board of Commis-sioners.

In an island-wide race, a

third candidate has entered the race for a Whidbey General Hospital commis-sioner seat.

Rita Drum, a rural Oak Harbor resident, became the third person to file for position 2 on the hospital’s board of commissioners. She will go up against in-cumbent Georgia Gardner and hospital blogger Rob Born in the primary, which will narrow the candidates to the two top.

Drum came to Whid-bey a year ago after retiring from an East Coast career in the medical field, which she said will make her a valuable member of a board that lacks in that kind of experience.

She was a pathology as-sistant and a histotechnolo-gist at a hospital; she said the job required her to in-teract with just about all the departments, so she has a good understanding of how hospitals work.

She became interested in running for the position af-ter hearing so many people “speak ill” of Whidbey General.

“We need to work to repair the reputation of the hospital,” she said, “and I can help.”

Spatz

Jennifer SpatzJennifer Sarah Alice Spatz,

the first child of Jurgen and Janice Spatz, was born at home in an idyllic woodsy setting in Woodinville on Sept. 14, 1970. She died unex-pectedly Wednesday, May 6, 2015, at her home in Oak Harbor at the young age of 44. She was the first first-gen-eration grandchild born in America of her proud pater-nal grandparents, aunts and uncles who immigrated in 1955 from Germany. Jennifer attended elementary and

middle school in Coupeville and graduated high school in the class of 1988 in Oak Harbor. She was an avid read-er and attended many class-es at Skagit Valley College, including psychology, Native American history and the arts. Jen had difficulty finding her way in this life until she centered upon a home group in AA, where the study of her own recovery took root.

Jennifer was preceded in death by her infant son, Sebastian. Jennifer leaves behind her loving parents, Janice and Jurgen Spatz; her sister, Johanna; brother-in-law, Brian Boyle; and neph-ews Tristan and Tyler, all of Oak Harbor; and many aunts, uncles and cousins in Vermont, Illinois and Seattle. We are all so grateful for our too few years with Jen. We feel a vast emptiness in her absence. Tristan and Tyler have lost their Taunte Neni. The family will create a pri-vate gathering.

It was a singular day for the Coupeville High School tennis team.

The Wolves, taking the top two spots in singles, won the Olympic League 1A championship tour-nament Tuesday, May 12, at Port Townsend.

After going through the regular season unbeaten in conference play,

Coupeville continued its dominance in the postseason by scoring 10 team points, twice as many as runner up Klahowya. Chimacum finished with 3 points and Port Townsend 2.

Jacki Ginnings captured the singles title, tripping teammate Va-len Trujillo in the finals. Both will advance to the West Central District 3 1A tournament Wednesday, May 20, at Charles Wright Academy in University Place.

The district singles and doubles

champions earn state berths. Re-sults of Wednesday’s tournament were not available at press time.

Ginnings opened the league tournament with an 8-0 win and then won 8-2 in the semifinals.

Trujillo won 8-3 and 8-4 to reach the finals.

In the all-Coupeville champion-ship match, Ginnings won 8-4.

Trujillo took an early lead, breaking Ginnings’ serve, but Gin-nings recovered to pull away.

The Wolves’ McKenzie Bailey lost 8-3 in the opening round of singles play.

In doubles action, the Wolves’ Sage Renninger and Payton Apari-cio placed third, and Micky LeVine and Sydney Autio finished fourth.

Both pairs won in the first round (Renninger/Aparicio, 8-2; LeVine/Autio, 9-7) and then fell in the second (Renninger/Aparicio, 8-1; LeVine/Autio, 8-2).

That pitted the two teams against each other to earn a trip to the match for second and third, and Aparicio and Renninger won 8-4. The freshman pair, however, lost 8-2 in the match for second place and a district berth.

Coupeville’s Ana and Ivy Luvera lost to the eventual champions in the first round of doubles 8-0.

“While we played well in dou-bles, we shined in singles, as we have all season long,” Coupeville coach Ken Stange said. “McKenzie nearly upended De Michelli of Port

Townsend. Jacki and Valen were on point. Valen had a bit of trouble in the opening round, playing against a soft hitter, but once she figured out how to generate her own pace, she was good to go. Jacki rolled over everyone until she met Valen in the final.”

Stange noted that the tourna-ment was the final appearance for seniors LeVine, Ana Luvera and Ivy Luvera.

“(They) gave a combined 11 years to CHS tennis,” he said. “I’m grateful for all they’ve done. Over the last four years, those three have accounted for many wins and even more great memories. They’ve left a positive mark on CHS and its team.”

Pair leads Wolves to league tennis tournament title

Jacki Ginnings, left, and Valen Trujillo finished first and second in singles in the Olympic League tennis tourna-ment to help Coupeville win the conference championship. The pair qualified for this week’s district tournament.

The Coupeville High School softball team dug itself into a deep hole and couldn’t recover in an 11-3 nonleague loss at South Whidbey Friday, May 15.

The Falcons (7-13) mixed three errors with three hits to jump to a 6-0 first-inning lead

and never trailed.The Wolves scored two

runs in the second inning and another in the third to trim the gap to 7-4, but South Whidbey tacked on runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth in-ning to pull away.

Hailey Hammer started

Coupeville’s two-run second inning with a walk. Hope Lodell followed by reaching on an error, and Jae LeVine added another walk. A single by Monica Vidoni and an error off the bat of Lauren Rose produced the runs.

The Wolves began the

third inning with a single by Katrina McGranahan, a double by McKayla Bailey and a single by Hammer to score their other run.

Coupeville left 12 men on base, including the bases loaded in the third and sev-enth innings.

McGranahan led the of-fense with two hits, one a double. Bailey also doubled. Hammer was 2-for-3, and Rose went 2-for-4.

Lodell, Vidoni and Robin Cedillo added singles.

Coupeville (6-11) will play in the district tournament

at Tacoma’s Sprinker Fields Friday and Saturday, May 22 and 23.

The Wolves face Bellevue Christian in a loser-out game at 6 p.m. Friday. If Coupe-ville wins, it will meet league foe Chimacum at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Girl sprinters produced most of the highlights for the Coupeville High School track team at the subdistrict meet in Bremerton Saturday, May 16.

The female runners, how-ever, weren’t the only stars, as the Wolves gathered nine first places.

The top three finishers in each event will represent the Olympic League at the district meet at North Ma-son High School at 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 22, and 10 a.m. Saturday, May 23.

The first two finishers at district will qualify for the state meet.

Makana Stone took part in four of the wins at sub-district. She captured the 200 (26.97) and 400 meters (1:00.69) and ran on the win-ning 4x100 (52.14) and 4x200 (1:49.93) relay teams with Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurl-burt and Marisa Etzell.

Hurlburt also won the 100 (13.34) and was second in the 200 (27.57). Grove fin-ished first in the triple jump (27-03.5) and fourth in the 100 (14.24). Etzell completed a 1-2-3 effort by the Wolves in the 200 by finishing third (28.28).

Skyler Lawrence was first in the shot put (29-07.75), sec-ond in the discus (86-11) and fourth in the javelin (74-07).

Lauren Bayne won the high jump (4-04) and ran

third in the 3,200 (13:10.19).Abby Parker took third in

the 800 (2:47.27), Naika Hal-lam was third in the javelin (78-11) and Alexxis Otto was fourth in the discus (74-11) and fifth in the shot put (24-01).

As a team, the Coupeville girls finished second in the meet with 74 points. Kla-howya was first with 97, while Port Townsend tallied 45 and Chimacum 23.

The Coupeville boys were led by Dalton Martin, who

won the discus (133-05) and placed second in the shot put (39).

Connor Thompson fin-ished second in the high jump (5-04) and triple jump (37-08).

Jesse Hester ran third in the 110 hurdles (22.83) and fourth in the 300 hurdles (51.74), and Jared Helm-stadter finished third in the

200 (24.18) and fifth in the 100 (12.07).

Mitchell Losey claimed fifth in the javelin (115).

Lathom Kelley, who holds one of the state’s top 1A times in the 300 hurdles, injured his hamstring in the league meet the previous week and didn’t recover enough to take part at subdistrict, coach Randy King said.

Port Townsend won the boys team title with 95 points, followed by Klahowya (82), Chimacum (34) and Coupe-ville (28).

Wolves earn 9 firsts at subdistrict

Memorial Day used to be called Deco-ration Day, back before the World Wars. It wasn’t until the First World War ended that Memorial Day was joined in by the South, and the occasion became one to honor all fallen soldiers in all America’s wars, including many unsung heroes.

What is a hero? In the classic sense, it is someone who makes a grand sacrificial gesture, a giving up of life or safety or comfort for the good of another person or a group. But isn’t it also, quite simply, a man or woman who is willing to risk safety and certainty by joining the military services? True, sometimes that is done out of fi nancial need or lack of

other career options, but the choice to join and ship out stands as a fear-defying act. Many of us could never bring ourselves to truly consider doing something so cou-rageous. And for all those thousands of soldiers who never returned home, their gesture ta kes on new meaning.

Memorial Day 2015 takes place on May 25.

“I don’t think he turns down any nonprofits,” Parker said, rattling off various ex-amples.

“He’s always very helpful. I’ve been here with Relay for Life. He supports the Boys and Girls Club. He is a mem-ber of the Central Whidbey Lions Club. He is on the board of the Gifts from the Heart food bank. He sup-ports the food bank with food and grocery bags. He supports Meals to Kids. He is on the board of the Coupe-ville Chamber of Com-merce.”

Parker was just getting started.

“He supports Soropti-mists. Hearts & Hammers. The Water Festival. The library. He supports the farmers market and he’s also a customer at the farmers market. Peg Tennant is the market (manager). She says when she’s gone to meetings and talks to farmers market (managers), she’s never met anyone who had a local gro-

cer who was supportive of the farmers market. They all said they wish he was in their community.”

Al Sherman, a retired farmer on Ebey’s Prairie, told Hofkamp that he remem-bered the day he took over the store.

That was 1972 and Hofkamp was 24-years-old. Sherman said he could recall the words of Bob Blaine, a fellow grocer on the island who helped Hofkamp get started.

“He told me, ‘He’s young, but he’s going to make it work,’” Sherman said.

Hofkamp emphasizes to his group of about 30 em-ployees the importance of customer service and being friendly. The store also deliv-ers groceries to those unable to come in.

“It’s all about the com-munity,” said Hofkamp, who’s from Oak Harbor High School’s Class of 1966. “We have to serve our commu-nity.”

“This store has been im-portant in this community

for a long time,” Sherman said. “Ken competes with the big boys and people just think it’s the place to go.”

Among them is Muriel Pickard, who still considers herself a regular.

“He’s done wonderfully,” she said.

“I don’t have to go any-where else.”

The surprise caught Hofkamp off guard and brought out a few tears.

He would soon get back to grilling the hot dogs for an anniversary sale. He wanted to find one of those sheets

that showed the lyrics to the songs, “Ken, You’re a Jolly Good Fellow” and “The Red Apple Sign.”

“It’s a wonderful town,” he said. “This is a great com-munity.”
