It’s the taste sensation sweeping the nation, and your stomach can get in on the good times.

The Coupeville School District’s Connected Food Program and Chef Andreas Wurzrainer are holding a community dinner this Thursday, Dec. 12.

The event, which runs from 5:30-6:30 PM, will take place in the commons area at Coupeville High School.

Suggested donation for the meal is $5 per person and $20 per family, which goes towards supporting the new, made-from-scratch, locally-sourced, superior-tasting food program being run at Coupeville’s schools.

And what do you get for your fiver?

According to Wurzrainer, “the menu is the same type of food we offer our students each day, with a bit of a holiday theme.”

In other words:

*Oven roasted pork loin with mushroom gravy
*Glazed carrots (sourced from Deep Harvest Farm and Foxtail Farm)
*Mashed potatoes (sourced from Bell’s Farm)
*Cabbage slaw
*Cornbread muffin with cranberry apple jam

The dinner is timed so you can go right from it to the CMS (6:30) and CHS (7:30) winter concerts, which are held a few steps away in the school’s Performing Arts Center.

If you’re planning on attending the dinner, they’re asking you to RSVP, so Wurzrainer and Co. will have an idea of how many meals they’ll likely be serving.

And we’re off.

The first full week of high school basketball is in the books, and with that brings our first look at the standings.

While none of the North Sound Conference hoops teams have played a league game yet, it’s never too early to ogle some wins and losses.

Coupeville’s varsity squads, with three games under their belt, stay busy in the coming week, with another three non-conference contests on the schedule.

Both the Wolf girls and boys travel to Friday Harbor Wednesday, host Concrete Friday, then hit the road Saturday to square off with The Bush School.

Where everyone stacks up in the very early going:

 

North Sound Conference girls basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 2-1
CPC-Bothell 0-0 2-2
Granite Falls 0-0 1-3
King’s 0-0 2-1
South Whidbey 0-0 2-1
Sultan 0-0 1-2

 

North Sound Conference boys basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 1-2
CPC-Bothell 0-0 2-1
Granite Falls 0-0 0-4
King’s 0-0 0-1
South Whidbey 0-0 3-0
Sultan 0-0 0-3

Everywhere a Coupeville kid, keeping busy and honing their athletic skills.

Look around this weekend, and it wasn’t just the high school basketball teams which were busy.

A pack of Coupeville Middle School girls played a basketball doubleheader Saturday with their SWISH squad, and if you scroll down a few stories, you’ll see how they did.

Spoiler: they did very, very well.

Then, right after basketball was done, most of that same basketball team hit the road for Puyallup, where they played as part of a club volleyball team Sunday.

Chloe Marzocca, Mia Farris, Lyla Stuurmans, Jada Heaton, Taylor Brotemarkle, Madison McMillan, and Katie Marti all play for the Whidbey Volleyball Club U-13 squad.

That team played three matches Sunday in pool play, then bounced out a team in bracket play before their weekend came to an end.

“Overall, not bad. Definitely room to grow. Hard working girls,” said team mom Jennifer Marzocca.

Skip over to the soccer pitch, and another local progeny was hard at work.

Chayse Van Velkinburgh, who attends Coupeville Elementary School, suits up for Northwest United U-10.

Playing two games this weekend, he scorched the nets for six goals and dealt out three assists, while also finding time to pop over and anchor his squad as both a defender and goalie.

To very little surprise, Van Velkinburgh and Co. won both games, coming out on top 5-2 and 8-1.
