Heni Barnes

Heni Barnes

Heni Barnes was one of the smartest people to ever come through Coupeville, and it’s not even close.

During her time as a Wolf, she was a top track and field thrower, going to districts in the discus and shot put, but her greatest accomplishments came off the field.

Jazz Band. ASB class president. National Honor Society officer. Science Olympiad. Produce picker and baby wrangler for local farmer/teacher Wilbur Purdie and wife Julieanna.

Oh, and there’s that whole “won a gold medal and $5,000 and got her documentary shown on the History Channel after winning the national History Day contest” thing, as well.

These days, the 2014 CHS grad is in even greater demand.

She’s been accepted to present at the International Conference of Permafrost in Potsdam, Germany in June, which will help her continued take-over of the world of geology.

Barnes needs $2,000 to make her dream come true and has already raised almost 90% of the funds on her GoFundMe page.

Now would be a perfect time for us to put her over the edge and help her make it to her goal.

Consider helping one of our most accomplished (and nicest, may I add) alumni, and maybe she’ll remember you when she completely takes over the world.

Got a buck or two to help a former Wolf?

Monica Vidoni, who is currently a freshman at Rainy River Community College in Minnesota, is looking for help to get to Florida with her softball squad.

The Voyageurs will be traveling down there during the first week of March for a five-day tournament, and each player needs to raise $1000 for plane tickets and uniforms.

Vidoni, a 2015 graduate of CHS, is currently in the second of her three sports seasons at Rainy River.

She started with volleyball, is currently playing basketball and then will join softball, mirroring the sports she played as a high school athlete.

The legendary Central Whidbey Co-Op Preschool is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and it needs your help to make things special.

The school has planned a silent auction fundraiser for Saturday, Feb. 27, called “Co-Op Kids, Wine & Bids.”

The adults-only event will be held at the Coupeville Rec Hall from 6-9 PM and admission is $10.

Hors d’oeuvre and wine will be served and Lisa Toomey and Tishia Malone will provide the musical entertainment.

As they head towards the event, organizers are seeking donations for the auction.

In particular, they’re hoping that Co-Op alumni will join the effort, giving back to the school which helped shape them as young children.

The auction will include physical items as well as unique “experience based” auction items.

An example of the latter is former Coupeville High School baseball star Ben Etzell, who is currently playing college ball in Minnesota, is offering a “Batting Cage with Benjamin” experience.

All donations are tax deductible, as the school is a 501(c) non-profit.

If you’re interested in donating items or experiences for the auction, text or call Kristi Etzell (360-320-3910) or email her at simplesis01@yahoo.com.

To make financial donations or buy tickets to the event (pre-orders get a complimentary ticket in a raffle which will be held that night) pop over to the Co-Op’s website:

Dance till your toes drop off, for the kids.

Far From Normal and owner Cindy Van Dyk are hosting a fundraiser dance Saturday, Feb. 6 to raise funds for the Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools.

The event will be held at the Coupeville Rec Hall from 8-11 PM, with classic rock provided by Mojo Filter.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door.

Beer, wine and soft drinks will be available for sale, as well, should the dancing parch you.

The Foundation has spent the past 20 years working to help give Coupeville students and teachers an extra measure of support.

It has funded many opportunities for students, including visits to Padilla Bay Marine Science Center, the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, and sailing to Sucia Island on the Cutty Sark.

This year one of the grants issued by the Foundation will go to fund an artist-in-residence who will work with CMS and CHS art students.

See, it's official.

See, it’s official.

Good thing we don’t live in Forks, or this might be a lot weirder…

Anyway, forget about the vampires, twinkly or otherwise, because Coupeville High School cheerleader Kaela Hollrigel wants your blood for non-Team Edward reasons.

The Wolf junior is hosting a community blood drive next Thursday, Jan. 14 (same day Oscar nominations are announced, in case you were wondering), with the proceeds going to a good cause.

Hollrigel, who is trying for a college scholarship, is teaming up with Bloodworks Northwest to put on the event.

All the pertinent details are in the second photo above, so just ignore me now and head back up top.
