The Wolves can shake it with the best.
A Coupeville High School team led by senior Casey Rogers captured second place in the high school division in the 2019 Great Washington ShakeOut Youth Video Contest.
The annual event is set up to create earthquake preparation awareness at state schools.
Rogers and Co. join fellow winners Samantha Robinson of Montesano (1st place – High School), Ryan Song of Auburn’s Buena Vista Adventist School (1st place – Middle School) and Eric Lind of Aberdeen’s Miller Junior High (2nd place – Middle School).

Cop karaoke, your moment in the spotlight is up.
The other rage sweeping the nation over the past few years has been teachers and support staff lip-syncing to “What Does the Teacher Say?,” a twist on the Ylvis hit “What Does The Fox Say?”
Now, Coupeville Elementary School has jumped in with their version, and, as in all things, Coupeville 1, Rest of the World 0.
Working for 12+ years at Videoville, I came in contact with a lot of customers.
One of the nicest was Ginny Vracin, who always had a smile and a nice word for me, even when the movie I recommended wasn’t her cup of tea.
Mrs. Vracin, who passed away Mar. 26 at the age of 72, was a wonderful woman and she and her husband, Dr. Wylie Vracin, were always a welcome sight in my video store days.
All four of their children — Emily, Nicholas, Damon and Danielle — have grown up to be talented, outgoing and deeply caring, very much like their parents.
There was a service for Ginny last Friday, but I just wanted to share two things here.
A video tribute, which you can see below, and the words her family offered.
In lieu of flowers, they instead asked, “Please welcome all who cross your path, smile incessantly, frequent garage sales, reuse everything imaginable, volunteer your time and passions and pick up trash on walks in memory of our sweet Ginny.”
