When Ricardo Reyes first got involved with the Coupeville Lions Club three years ago and learned about the organization’s an-nual garage sale, one of the members took him to where donated items were stored.

Reyes was awestruck.“I could not believe how much stuff we

had,” he said.Flash forward three years and the assess-

ment remains the same. Crack open a door to Freeman Boyer’s cavernous barn and there are objects stacked high and deep with little room to spare.

Three nearby barns share the same story.“They’re all full,” club member Bill Bain-

bridge said.This leads to the biggest myth about the

Coupeville Lions Club garage sale, which will get underway at the sound of an air horn June 28-29, sending hundreds of people rummag-ing through thousands of items at Coupeville Elementary School.

“People always say it’s the same stuff. They’ll say, ‘You must store it over,’” Bain-bridge said, breaking into a smile.

“No, we start fresh every year.”This is the 35th year of the Coupeville

garage sale, the Lions Club’s largest fund-raiser. More than $40,000 was raised in each of the past two years. All of the money goes back into the community through the various causes the Lions Club supports, said Reyes, who is co-chair of the event this year.

During the course of the year, some dona-tions such as a mattress or an appliance might be routed directly to a family or community member in need. But the lion’s share goes to the sale.

“People in this community are really, really good,” said Rod Barnes, the club’s historian.

Barnes has seen the sale grow “by leaps and bounds,” recalling the time he was chair-man about 30 years ago when the sale raised

about $7,000.It takes about 200 volunteers to make the

event happen from setup to shutdown, Reyes said. Volunteers this year include about 15-17 active duty personnel from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

In the days leading to the event, a convoy of vehicles with flatbed trailers will transport items from Boyer’s farm to the elementary school.

But some people don’t need to see the trucks to know what’s coming.

Reyes said that he was told by Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce, that some out-of-state visitors plan their vacations to the

Port axes nonprofit exemptionBy Megan HansenEditor

Port of Coupeville revised its policy to no longer exclude nonprofits from having to pay a $1 per head passenger fee.

And some local nonprofits fear it could have an adverse impact.

Commissioners passed resolution 191 in April, which instituted a $1 fee per passen-ger for vessels picking up passengers at the Coupeville Wharf.

The initial resolution excluded nonprof-its and vessels bringing passengers from outside the area, specifically the Victoria Clipper.

“In my opinion, the waiver for nonprof-its was too liberal,” said Tim McDonald, executive director for the Port of Coupe-ville.

McDonald presented resolution 192, amending the former resolution, to take

Coupeville’s B&Bs embrace shifting trendsBy Megan HansenEditor

Just weeks into retirement, Coupeville resident Kevin Griggs is venturing into a new business endeavor — host of a Bed and Breakfast.

Griggs is one of two business ventures that recently popped up in Coupeville, commonly known as pocket B&Bs.

His newly opened Whispering Bamboo B&B features a single room structure on his two-acre property. The rental space has its own private garden, access to Griggs’ manicured art gardens and what many travelers seem to be seeking these days — independence.

Diane Binder, who owns Anchorage Inn in Coupeville, said the B&B industry is changing.

The millennial’s and generation X’ers are independent travelers, she said. “They want to help themselves and to be left alone.”

Marshal responds to report that deer bit woman

It looks like it may be a year before the public beach access at Coupeville Wharf reopens to the public.

Executive Director Tim McDonald said because of money and the anticipated permitting process, the re-pairs on the project probably won’t start until late winter or early spring 2015.

The port initially closed the stairs in early 2014 due

to safety concerns about the stairs and railing. Engineer-ing estimates show the issue goes beyond the stairs and is connected to the port office building and bulkhead.

“There’s been a great deal of pressure to open the stair-well, which was closed for safety reasons,” said Com-missioner Marshall Bronson. “We really have to look at it as a whole.

“It’s closed by chain. Any-one who really wants to can get there.”

Commissioners approved a contract with an engineer for the project, but have no definite cost estimate for the entire project.

“I know we don’t have any money now,” McDonald said. “Based on the current budget, we’ll have to wait.”

The port anticipates the

permitting process to take roughly six months.

Initially, the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Associa-tion came forward willing to help with the project.

“The problem is there’s no in-between,” said Vickie Chambers, executive director of the waterfront associa-tion. “We approached them to help offset the cost of the stairs, but the scope of the project got so huge.

“We’ve backed off until they had a better handle on the costs.”

In the meantime, the port is looking at posting signs directing visitors to the beach access down the street.

“We’re working to still help them,” Chambers said. “Since the stairs isn’t going to happen, we’re looking at helping them with signage.”

Port beach access could take a year for repairs

By Charlie Bermant Peninsula Daily News

The state ferries system has attached a device to the hull of the MV Salish on the Port Townsend-Coupeville route to provide data on low-oxygen water and ocean acidification from Admiralty Inlet.

“This will help us under-stand Puget Sound much better,” said Sandy Howard, a Department of Ecology spokesperson.

“It provides a new piece of information that we never had before and will allow us to monitor current, veloc-ity, temperature and the flow of fresh and salt water on a long-term basis.”

During a recent servic-ing, Washington State Ferries crews attached the sensor, an acoustic doppler current profiler, to the bottom of the Salish, which makes 11 daily crossings between Port Townsend and Coupeville on Whidbey Island.

The sensor gathers data during the crossings of the area known as Admiralty In-let, or Admiralty Reach, the gateway to the Puget Sound, where salt and fresh water merges.

The project is a partner-ship among Ecology, Wash-ington State Ferries and the University of Washington.

It is supported by a $261,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Ecology.

The rudder-shaped de-vice, which extends about 40 inches from the middle of the hull, both stores and trans-mits data, according to Cotty Fay, chief naval architect and manager of vessel design for

the ferry system. The device is expected

to last at least five years and will cause the ferry to have a “very small” slow-down of about 0.5 percent, Fay said.

“Every tide is different than the one before,” Fay said. “Over a long period of time, we will get a profile of how the water moves in and out of Puget Sound.”

The device’s sensors send tiny sound waves down through the water column beneath the ferry, similar to the depth sounders and “fish finders” used on many recre-ational vessels.

The time it takes for the echoes to return to the device is used to calculate the dis-tance beneath the ship, and the Doppler shift of the ping is used to calculate speed and direction of the water flowing under the ferry.

The narrow constric-tion point between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound is a relatively shallow bottleneck and makes it a good place to measure water exchange and circulation be-tween Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean, Howard said.

The water velocity in-formation will help scien-tists understand how much Puget Sound is influenced by the ocean and provide data about how much low-oxygen water and corrosive water with very low pH may be coming into Puget Sound from the ocean.

“Low-oxygen water is a problem because aquatic life needs oxygen to thrive. Aquatic life can also be sensi-tive to low pH,” Howard said.

“The information will

also help scientists under-stand nutrients and algae blooms, and this testing will increase understanding about the transport of toxic chemi-cals and ocean acidification.”

The MV Kennewick, which shares the Port Townsend-Coupeville route with the Salish, also will be

fitted with a sensor in the near future, Howard said.

Once the program is in place, it will be used to collect data on ferry routes through-out the system, according to Carol Maloy who heads Ecology’s marine monitoring program.

Information about the

program is expected to be posted regularly on Ecol-

ogy’s blog, http://ecologywa.blogspot.com.

A new sensor, which was attached to the MV Salish, will gather data during the ferry’s daily sailings. Data includes informa-tion on currents, velocity, temperature and the flow of fresh and salt water. The project is a partnership with Washington State Ferries, the state Department of Ecology and University of Washington.

Thanks for embracing community’s historyEditor,

I recently became a board member of the Friends of Ebey’s and, as the newest member of the board, I would like to clarify The Friends of Ebey’s mission.‘Friends’ is the nonprofit fundraising arm of the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing National Histori-cal Reserve.

We are a board of volunteers working together to raise funds to promote and facili-tate preservation, as well as education and outreach projects as requested by the Trust Board.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the community and local businesses for their support of the Friends of Ebey’s — enabling the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing to imple-ment interpretive programs and award pres-

ervation grants. It’s easy to look at the pretty views in reverence, but to gain an under-standing of what goes into maintaining this extraordinary landscape shows a reflection of our thoughtful community.

Central Whidbey has sustained much of its cultural and historical integrity be-cause the local community has continually partnered with the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing and given in many ways: volunteer-ing time, donating money and experience, attending fundraising events — the list really is endless. It would be impossible to count the hours the Lions Clubs have dedicated to most every project that has been asked of them. The Jacob Ebey House has literally come back to life, leaving visitors from all over the world in awe of its surrounding envi-ronment. This year, through the efforts of the Friends of Ebey’s and the generous donations of hundreds of contributors from around Puget Sound and beyond, nine projects in-

volving historically significant structures will be funded.

Since the Ebey’s Forever Grant Program started in 2011, more than 30 Ebey’s Forever preservation projects have been completed. Besides protecting the cultural landscape, these projects have created jobs, promoted agriculture and tourism and have circulated more than $500,000 through the economy. Donations to Friends of Ebey’s have made this all possible.

Where else does this happen? The next time you find yourself stunned to silence by the view, there’s a pretty good chance you did something to help sustain it. Thank you for being a “Friend of Ebey’s,” embracing our rich and multi-faceted history as we move into the future.

Lions garage sale is a lot of hard work

Each year, the Coupeville Lions Club gathers items for its annual garage sale.

And when you think garage sale, it’s not just a few items people are looking to get rid of.

Last year, the Lions had vehicles, boats — items galore.

This garage sale has garnered a reputa-tion for treasure hunters and it has gar-nered a reputation for giving.

People donate items year-round to the Lions because ultimately that donation goes to a good cause.

This club fills barns full of items. As the club’s biggest fundraiser of the

year, proceeds from the event go back into the Lions’ many charitable causes.

And those dollars stay locally.The Lions Club motto is, “we serve.”

And that’s what these Lions do.They give back to the community in a

variety of ways, from student scholarships to local donations.

This year, the club is providing scholar-ships to needy kids for summer swim les-sons at the Camp Casey pool.

The club also provided important res-cue equipment to keep those kids safe at the pool.

And while this event is only a two-day event, it takes days to prep, not including the months of collecting items.

Volunteers spend countless hours orga-nizing and setting items up for the sale.

It isn’t a free-for-all. Items are carefully organized into sections and displayed ac-cordingly.

The Coupeville Lions Club Garage Sale is an impressive feat by a lot of hard-working people who care about the com-munity.

But they can’t serve their community without support.

So if you get a chance, stop by the ga-rage sale next weekend at Coupeville El-ementary and see if there’s a treasure you can’t live without.

And remember to thank the Lions for all that they do.

Methodist strawberry social is June 28The Coupeville United

Methodist Church will be holding its annual Strawberry Social 10 a.m. to noon on Sat-urday, June 28.

Local strawberries are piled onto your choice of waffles, shortcake or ice cream and topped with whipped cream. The treat is accompanied by a hot or cold beverage. The price is $7, $5 for half orders, and take-out orders are welcomed.

Last year, the church ordered 240 pounds of straw-berries for the event.

The Strawberry Social

is an annual tradition that started in 1914.

In “Recollections of Early Days on Whidbey Island,” Flora Augusta Pearson Engle said, “For over 30 years there was but one church on the island and during that time we were all good Methodists, every man giving somewhat of his substances towards the minister’s salary and the women every year giving a strawberry festival to eke out the amount.”

The strawberries no lon-ger pay for the salary of the minister, but are used by the

church’s missions committee to support outreach.

Proceeds from last year’s Strawberry Social were used to support two orphanages, two educators and a medical relief pilot in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Supplies were also pur-chased for a medical mission to remote areas of the Ama-zon River in Brazil.

To learn more about the Social and other activities of the Coupeville United Meth-odist Church, contact the office at 608 N. Main Street, 678-4256.

Island Artists is holding its annual art show Friday, June 27 through Sunday, June 29 at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

The group of 12 local painters partnered to create a painting featuring Whidbey Island and its many special places, said artist Carole Dawes.

Each artist took a 12-by-12 inch section of a 3-by-4 foot canvas and painted a section in their preferred medium.

The painting was donated to the Pacific Northwest Art School and is on display there. It will be on display at the show.

Raffle tickets to win this painting will be on sale at the school and during the show. The winner will be chosen on Sunday.

Show hours are 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Island Artists hold annual art show June 27-29, raffling off original Whidbey piece Coupe’s Last Stand, the town’s only mobile food ven-

dor, will be open seven days a week starting this week, said owner Vickie Chambers.

The hot dog stand sets up shop on Front Street, right in front of Coupeville Wharf. Operations are weather depen-dent. Chambers said if you want to know if she’s down at the wharf, visit the Coupeville Library’s website, www.sno-isle.org, and click on the web cam link. The camera points directly at the wharf and Coupe’s Last Stand can be seen if she’s there. Coupe’s was started in 2002 by Charlotte Chris-tensen, who died in 2010 following a brief illness.

Chambers purchased the business after her death.

A part of the Olympics came to Coupeville this week.

The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club presented Olympic Day for local youth Monday, June 16, and the appearance of United States Olympic skate team member Anna Ringsred highlighted the event.

Coupeville’s Olympic Day is one of 700 events in the United States held between June 14 and 30 to honor the Olympic movement.

Olympic Day, which be-gan in 1948, celebrates the birth of the modern Olympic Games and focuses on Olym-pic values and ideals.

Unit Director Jamie Scharich said the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club was planning a track-and-field day for June and decided to register with the United States Olympic Committee to take advantage of its pro-gram that assists those host-ing Olympic Day activities.

“They have a tool kit on-line, which allowed us to have access to publications and templates,” Scharich said. “They also sent us the Olym-pic Day flag and temporary tattoos.”

The USOC encourages its athletes to participate in Olympic Day activities, pro-viding a list of events for them to consider.

Ringsred, who grew up in Minnesota and trains out of

Calgary, signed up when she saw that the Coupeville event coincided with her visit to Washington to see her broth-er graduate from Western Washington University.

“I wanted to do one of the Olympic Day events,” Ringsred said, “and this one turned out to be convenient.”

Ringsred, 29, was a member of the 2014 Winter Olympic team, finishing 26th in speed skating in the 3,000 meters after placing second in the U.S. trials. She is a three-time World Championship qualifier with a top finish of fifth in the 2007 team pursuit.

Coupeville’s Olympic Day, which included about 20 youngsters, started with Scharich sending the kids on a seven-lap stroll around the high school track to under-stand the distance of Ring-sred’s 3,000-meter races.

Ringsred then addressed the group, talking about Olympic history, her career, setting goals and overcoming adversity. When finished, the kids peppered her with ques-tions, ranging from What other Olympic sport would you choose if not skating? (cycling, she responded), to What is your favorite souve-nir from the Sochi Olympics? (the sweater she wore in the opening ceremonies).

She also shared the tools of her trade, letting the youngsters see a pair of skates and examine an aero-dynamic body suit.

Ringsred then demon-

strated skating techniques and how to start a race, in-viting the kids to stand and mimic her actions.

She finished by signing autographs, including inking a few arms and one forehead.

“Anna was amazing,” Scharich said. “She did a great job of sharing her knowledge of the Olympics and speed skating in a way that kept the kids engaged. She was extremely friendly and the kids adored her.”

Ringsred said this was the first time she attended an Olympic Day event but has talked to schools and other gatherings before.

“I have a huge desire to go out to encourage kids to follow their dreams,” she said. “I like to encourage kids to keep going and not give up. I’m glad I could make it

here.”When Ringsred conclud-

ed, June 16 was proclaimed Olympic Day in Coupeville by Mayor Nancy Conard.

Then the competitions for Olympic Day began, starting with a soccer match to honor the World Cup.

The youngsters used

cereal boxes to create their own speed skating event and held torch relays. Later, they returned to the club to paint Olympic rings.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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

island around the date of the garage sale.

People will start to trickle on to the elementary school grounds June 27 and survey what they’ll be after during a sneak preview that will be held from 1-6 p.m.

The morning of June 28, large crowds start to gather

that historically has num-bered into the hundreds, some with paper in hand showing a map they charted to find an item.

The sale takes place from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. June 28 and resumes from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. June 29.

An air horn starts the frantic pursuit. Lions mem-bers repeatedly ask custom-

ers not to run.“We hold our breath and

cross our fingers that nobody gets hurt,” Reyes said.

The items are endless, ranging from tools to luggage to furniture to cars to boats.

Bainbridge has watched antique dishes and doll col-lections be purchased over the years and recently saw a pickup truck go for $1,400.

The items that aren’t sold are donated to thrift stores that will accept them. Things nobody wants get recycled or sent to the landfill as a last resort.

The rest time in between sales doesn’t last long.

“Sometimes, we try to take a month off, some-times two,” Bainbridge said. “Sometimes, you can’t.”

Lions: Annual garage sale reflects years of workFrom page 1

years, Binder and her hus-band, Dave Binder, said the scope of the industry is changing and B&B owners find themselves having to make changes.

People don’t want doi-lies and knick knacks, Dave Binder said. They don’t want communal dining.

In response to these cus-tomer changes, the inn has added additional smaller

tables for solo dining.Griggs and his wife, Kay

Griggs, said they have no experience in the hospitality industry, but they just went with what they like.

Having spent much of their life traveling and liv-ing overseas, the Griggs said they’ve experienced all kind of accommodations.

Kay Griggs said they didn’t really care for the tra-ditional B&B, preferring to go out on their own.

“We want to target those individuals,” Griggs said. “Offer them flexibility.”

Whispering Bamboo was not initially intended for rental space.

“We had that building for quite awhile.” Griggs said. “It was going to be a studio initially.

“But we never got moti-vated.”

But after gearing to-ward retirement and finding friends and relatives drawn to Whidbey Island, the Griggs’ new venture was born.

“Whidbey Island is a draw for people,” Griggs said. “For us, we don’t want to leave.”

“In the summer months we thought it would be a good opportunity for us.”

The Griggs have lived at their Parker Road home for 20 years and enjoy gardening

and art.Kay Griggs is an artist

and, along with their trav-els, have created an eclectic property.

The private garden around the B&B was a Japa-nese memorial garden to hon-or Kay Griggs’ parents. Kay is from Japan and wanted to incorporate her culture into the property. As the couple built their B&B they incorpo-rated the Japanese theme into the spaces.

The space is set away from the main house, has private entrances and private garden space.

As with many B&Bs, Whispering Bamboo does offer breakfast. To appeal to the independent traveler, the couple offers a continental breakfast basket, which can be taken out into one of the properties many gardens or out to the bluff overlooking Penn Cove.

ANOTHER ASPECT impacting the B&B industry is the creation of websites that specialize in finding travelers unregulated places to stay.

Binder said there’s a spe-cific website that specializes in these unregulated rentals.

A quick search of the site, she said, yielded seven op-tions in Coupeville alone.

“(And) there could be a lot

more we don’t know about,” she said. “These types of lodging are popping up all over the world.”

The problem, she said, is without regulation, these spaces are essentially renting under the table and not pay-ing the same taxes as B&Bs.

Lodging businesses are the only businesses that pay a 2 percent lodging tax, which specifically goes back into funding tourism.

Because those rentals aren’t paying taxes, they can, in turn, rent at lower costs.

“It’s hurting the B&B in-dustry,” Binder said.

Lodging taxes directly go

back into promoting tour-ism, said Binder, who also serves on the Island County Tourism Board. In addition to paying a 2 percent tax to county tourism, lodging also pays an additional 2 percent that goes directly back into local tourism.

In 2013, all of island coun-ty lodging brought in more than $240,000 taxes. Coupe-ville specifically brought in a little more than $24,000.

THESE NEW UNREG-ULATED rentals do target the changing trend with trav-elers, offering that indepen-dence they crave.

But while they do fit this

model, Binder said there’s uncertainty that comes with them.

She said in other states there have been stories about people sending deposits in prior to arriving and then finding the rental doesn’t exist.

And yet the trend con-tinues. Binder said she first became aware of them about two years ago, and they have slowly grown into more of a problem.

“I think everyone’s per-ception is you can make money doing it,” Binder said. “They’re just looking for ad-ditional income.”

out the nonprofit exclusion. Commissioners passed it unanimously.

“I think it went beyond what the board had initially intended,” McDonald said. “We’ve had other nonprofits taking advantage of it.

“It doesn’t take into con-sideration the cost we’re in-vesting into the wharf.”

The change in cost to host nonprofit vessels at the wharf may impact different groups and events, said Vickie Chambers, executive direc-tor of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association.

“That would kill Musself-est,” she said.

Each year, the historic waterfront association pays upfront for a boat to come in and run mussel raft tours.

Chambers said tickets are sold to recoup the cost of the boat and some years, the as-sociation just barely breaks even, sometimes not at all.

“There are some years we’ve lost money,” she said.

She estimates an average of 400 tickets are sold each year at $10 per ticket.

“For the years we’re just barely covering our cost for the boat, $400 is a lot,” she said.

She also noted this was the first year the association paid moorage fees for the Musselfest boat.

Chambers said she fears this change will impact other nonprofit ventures like the Lady Washington and Ha-waiian Chiefton, which come in August for the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival.

“The numbers they get on that are just staggering,” she said. “It’s such a huge thing.”

Chambers said the im-posed fee will detract any-one considering coming to Coupeville.

McDonald said that is not something the port has en-countered so far.

He said imposing such fees is something port com-missioners all over are con-sidering with rising costs.

While ships like the Lady

Washington and Hawaiian Chiefton serve in a nonprofit capacity, they are utilizing re-sources like solid waste, water and space.

“The port board desires to do as much as possible to stimulate commerce,” Mc-Donald said. “It’s a trade off on the cost of having boats here and supporting com-merce.”

There is a clause in resolu-tion 192, which stipulates the board may review and adjust fees on individual cases.

McDonald said he antici-pates the board will discuss imposing fees to the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chiefton at the next regular board meeting.
