By Nathan WhalenStaff reporter

Whidbey Island residents and business owners came together Saturday to help victims of the March 27 landslide that damaged homes in Ledgewood.

Hundreds of well-wishers ventured to Greenbank Farm to listen to live music and raise money for the victims of last month’s natural disaster.

Those charitable music lovers chipped in to donate more than $10,000 to the people whose homes have been damaged by the landslide.

“I think it’s extraordinary,” said Mark Laska, owner of Ciao restaurant in Coupeville. “It was a beautiful time.”

Laska said it took six days, with Easter in the middle, to organize. Three bands per-formed in the main barn at the Greenbank Farm — Mojo Filter, The Still Bill Band and Johnny Bulldog. They provided plenty of music for the lively crowd to dance to during the five-hour event. Sho’ Nuff Barbecue and Useless Bay Barbecue prepared food and wine

Crews have been working 10-hour days for more than a week to restore power to homes near the rubble of the landslide that devastat-ed 1,000 feet of shoreline on Central Whidbey Island.

Those work crews are installing a conduit about five feet underground that will carry power, cable and telephone lines to the homes that have been without power since March 27. It is one of the projects underway to restore utilities to affected homes.

Walt Blackford, community services man-ager for Puget Sound Energy, said he hopes


Gov. Jay Inslee along with a throng of lo-cal, state and federal officials got a first-hand look at the natural disaster that devastated a Central Whidbey neighborhood in March.

The newly elected governor visited Whid-bey Island Saturday to tour the landslide that destroyed a significant portion of the Ledge-wood area March 27. The entourage, which included county commissioners, State Sen. Barbara Bailey and several residents still liv-ing in the area, walked down a temporary gravel road to visit the landslide area. They had to climb over trees still lying in a roadway to get a view of the landslide area and see how close the new cliff is to home on the bluff. They also visited a home where the backyard

is crumbling away followed by a walk down to the beach, where a home that is no longer hab-itable was clearly visible.

“I think it’s absolutely important,” Arthur Nowell said of the governor’s visit Saturday. Nowell lives in Ledgewood just south of the landslide. He added such visits are important because it helps state agencies who would be involved with the clean up to work together.

His home has been without power since

the landslide. Work crews are continuing their efforts to repair the utilities and Nowell was impressed with the county’s efforts to build a temporary road that provided access to the low-lying homes in the Ledgewood area.

“I’ve been blown away and impressed with the county,” Nowell said during the governor’s visit.

Bjork named interim Coupeville superintendentBy Nathan WhalenStaff Reporter

Coupeville School District is currently on its third superintendent for the school year.

The Coupeville School Board recently named Lisa Bjork as interim superin-tendent.

Bjork, who was a former superintendent of the South Whidbey School District, was named interim superin-tendent last month. She will lead the school district until early June when permanent Superintendent Jim Shank takes over.

Coupeville School Dis-trict has been without a permanent superintendent since the end of the 2012 school year.

That’s when previous superintendent Patty Page resigned after being hired by the North Kitsap School District. After conduct-ing an initial job search

and rejecting three finalists last year, the school board named Karen Koschak as interim superintendent.

Koschak served through most of the current school year until abruptly resign-ing in February because of a family medical issue. Jerry Jenkins, superinten-dent of the Educational Service District based in Anacortes, filled in for sev-eral weeks before the school board named Bjork their latest interim superinten-dent.

Bjork, who had served as assistant superintendent for the South Whidbey School from 1992 to 1996 and as superintendent from 1996 to 2000, said she couldn’t turn the job down when school officials called.

She also works at Seattle Pacific University teaching educational leadership and overseeing principal and su-perintendent interns.

She said she sees herself

as a bridge between Ko-schak and Shank.

“I’m just trying to con-nect the dots between what has been going on and what needs to be done,” Bjork said Friday afternoon.

There are several proj-ects she will be involved in during the coming weeks.

School officials will be busy developing a budget for the 2013 - 2014 school year.

Staff will also be busy implementing a new math program that will be con-sistent with new federal common core standards and work piloting a new principal teacher evalua-tion system is still moving forward.

Coupeville School Board announced in February it offered Shank the superin-tendent position.

He is currently the su-perintendent of the Juab School District in Utah and he is scheduled to finish the

school year before start-ing his duties in Coupeville, which is scheduled to take

place in early June. He visited the school dis-

trict this week to meet with

staff and familiarize him-self with the ins and outs of the school district.

Blankenship cites ‘backroom scheming’ in resignationBy Nathan WhalenStaff Reporter

After a little more than a year into her six-year term on the commission for the Port of Coupeville, Laura Blankenship resigned this week from her elected posi-tion.

In a resignation letter she addressed to commis-sion Chairman Marshall Bronson, she accused the head of the three-member elected body and Port of Coupeville Executive Direc-

tor Jim Patton of using their skills as political operators to the benefit of the Green-bank Farm Management Group rather than port dis-trict taxpayers.

“In my opinion, your backroom scheming and conspiring ensures the farm will not only fail to become the economic driver the taxpayers were promised, it will continue to drain port district resources unneces-sarily,” Blankenship said in her resignation letter.

When asked for elabora-tion Tuesday, Blankenship said she didn’t have any ad-

ditional comment. Patton laughed when

asked to comment about Blankenship’s resignation letter.

“I don’t think I can im-prove on it,” Patton said.

He also denies backroom scheming among the port and management group.

“There was never any of that,” Patton said.

Blankenship also penned a letter to the tax-payers and residents living within the Port of Coupe-ville’s district.

In that letter she stated, “I have absolutely no rea-

son to believe that my con-tinued participation will achieve a better outcome for port district taxpayers.”

A copy of the letter she addressed to taxpayers and residents can be seen on page 5 of today’s The Whid-bey Examiner.

There were contentious moments between the port commissioners since Blan-kenship took office in Janu-ary 2012.

There were arguments over how the port handles its budget, how it would make reductions during a recent budget shortfall and how it doles out grant dol-lars.

Most recently, the three-member board argued about how to best imple-ment recommendations formed by a volunteer group examining how the Greenbank Farm should

operate once the agreement with the management group expires.

Blankenship tried to get several recommenda-tions approved in January, but she was outvoted by the commissioners Bronson and Benye Weber.

With Blankenship’s res-ignation, the process will begin to find a replacement.

Patton said the topic of finding a replacement would probably come up during Wednesday’s Port of Coupeville meeting.

That meeting took place after The Whidbey Exam-iner’s Wednesday morning press deadline.

Patton said the commis-sioners will look for new applicants and will appoint someone to fill out the re-mainder of Blankenship’s term, of which is nearly five years remain.

Hands-on learner says he loves the outdoors

By Betty FreemanFor The Whidbey Examiner

Kole Kellison, a senior at Coupeville High School, is the youngest son of Ray and Christy Kellison, who own the Keystone Café at the Coupeville ferry landing.

The family moved to the Admiral’s Cove area about six years ago from Bend, Ore.

“It was a positive move for our family,” said Kellison. “Coupeville is full of friendly people.”

Kellison’s mom Christy is president of the Coupeville High School Boosters Club so he often helps her out with club projects, such as setting up for the recent MusselFest.

After graduation, he said he expects to spend the sum-mer commercial fishing.

“My brother’s going to be gone for a while this summer, so I’ll fill in for him and see if that’s what I want to keep do-ing,” said Kellison.

Kellison has experience commercial fishing with his dad in Alaska, and also does crab and shrimp fish-ing locally for commercial purposes.

At CHS, Kellison plays goalkeeper for the soccer team, which is just start-ing their spring season. He played both defense and of-fense on the school’s football team, and played basketball too until a shoulder injury sidelined him.

Kellison’s senior project is restoring a 1960s vintage

moped, which he earned in a trade for mowing someone’s lawn 20 times.

Main Street Collision of-fered him shop space and ex-pert advice on the project.

“I’m really thankful for the help Main Street Colli-sion has given me with the moped project, especially Scott Brown and Phil Black.

They helped me learn to be organized when I was taking it apart so I’d be able to put it back together again right,” said Kellison.

For his senior project, Kellison will do a PowerPoint presentation showing the steps of the restoration pro-cess and a project analysis.

His project also required him to use welding skills he acquired in Tom Eller’s metal

shop class at CHS.“Mr. Eller has been re-

ally inspiring to me,” said Kellison. “He challenges and encourages the kids in his classes.”

Kellison was among the students whose names are placed on a plaque at the Admiralty Head Lighthouse commemorating the commu-nity’s involvement in restor-ing the lantern house to its original specifications.

Students at all three Whidbey Island high schools participated in the project,

which was completed June 2012.

With technical support and materials from Nichols Brothers Boats and commu-nity donations, the Lan-tern House project kept all

three high school metal shop programs going for over 18 months.

Kellison attended the in-stallation and dedication of the new lantern house.

“It was cool to see every-thing we did come together and to see the community support for the shop classes. And that plaque will be there for the rest of our lives to show what we accomplished together,” he said.

Coupeville High School’s contribution was the conical roof of the structure, a chal-lenging welding project.

“I really enjoy welding,” said Kellison. “It’s a good life skill, and I can use it if I’m working on a boat commer-cial fishing. You’ve got to be a jack-of-all-trades if you’re fishing.”

English teacher Barbara Ballard has also been an in-spiration to him, helping him play to his strengths.

Kellison said, “She’s helped me do projects and pushes me to go farther. I did a research paper for her on Canadian farm fishing, be-cause that relates to what I’m interested in.”

Kellison describes himself as a “hands-on” learner who enjoys the outdoors, especial-ly camping, hunting and fish-ing at Fort Casey dock with family and friends. While he loves Coupeville, he sees him-self living somewhere even more rural in the future.

“I like it over by Sequim,” said Kellison. “You’ve got the amenities of town, but you’re even closer to the Olympics than you are here.”

Kole Kellison said he is proud of the work he’s done at Main St. Collision restoring a 1960s moped for his senior project.

Several weeks ago The Whidbey Examiner ran a story on its front page about a human jawbone discovered on a beach in Coupeville.

Within that story we included a photo provided by one of the young wom-en who found the remains.

The image shows a partial jawbone with a few

teeth still intact, laying as it was found on a rocky beach.On page 5 of this week’s Examiner you will find a letter

from Theresa Trebon, who deems it inappropriate to pub-lish the photograph.

Prior to running the photo, the newsroom had a lengthy discussion about the decision of whether or not it should be published. We debated the pros and cons.

The staff agreed there was merit in publication, and nearly all said they would run it if they were editor. Ulti-mately the decision was mine, and I agreed.

Trebon’s main complaint against running the picture is that it is insensitive to Native American culture. That was one of the issues that was discussed by the staff and I.

When we ran the initial story about the remains, no one had determined them to be Native American. The bone was being taken for analysis.

Even if they were determined to be Native American, I still would publish the photo.

Here’s why: Part of a journalist’s job is to document his-tory. In fact, some say journalism is the first draft of history.

In publishing the photo with the article, the Examiner added information to Coupeville’s already fascinating his-tory.

Images of ancient remains are often published in news-papers, magazines and online. Archeologists contribute to articles in National Geographic and other publications, in-cluding photos of remains of our ancient ancestors.

Running the photo of a bone fragment is little differ-ent than photos showing the remains of an ancient man or woman. Are those offensive images?

People are fascinated with history and archeology. They go to museums to view ancient artifacts, including mum-mies, on display.

In a hundred years or so, perhaps our descendants will be looking back at these images and articles that appear in publication.

I am fascinated that a jaw bone was found lying on the beach. It wasn’t dug up and an ancient burial ground wasn’t destroyed.

There wasn’t any evidence of any kind of excavating where it was found.

For now at least, the origins of this jawbone are un-known, but someday there may be an interesting story be-hind the fragment.

And now we have historical documentation of it.

Community made benefit a successEditor,

With only six short, frenetic days of planning, The Whidbey Slide Relief Fund Benefit was a great success.

It is amazing to see an entire island come together for a common cause. It takes a whole community to respond to disaster and the needs of our neighbors.

When all segments of a community rally to support victims of disaster it cannot only mitigate unspeakable loss, but it can also strengthen the bonds of the entire community.

When citizens, business owners, inter-faith agencies, and governmental agencies take responsibility and act together, we are all better off. What we have seen over the last 10 days is a shining example of that whole community approach.

Thank you, to Gov. Jay Inslee, Congressman Rick Larsen, state Sen. Barbara Bailey and congressional Rep. Norma Smith, we appreciate your concern and your presence on Saturday and look forward to your continued support.

Thank you to Port of Coupeville Commissioner Marshall Bronson, Island County commissioners Helen Price Johnson, Jill Johnson and Kelly Emerson, Island County Public Works, American Red Cross and Central

Whidbey Fire for your responsiveness. Special thanks to the 50-plus

volunteers who made this event happen, especially the hard-working culinary specialists from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station who gave up their day off.

Thank you, Bulldog and the Johnny Bulldog Band, Ciao, Columbia Distributing, Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, Jason Tritt and Flyers Brewery for your amazing beer, 4-H ambassador extraordinaire Elizabeth Bishop, to Greenbank Farm who donated the space and countless hours – our whole community is indebted, Fraser’s Gourmet Hideaway, Freeland Café, Langley Chamber of Commerce, Lions (you are truly fabulous), Mojo Filter for not one but two benefit performances, Matt Nichols and Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, Prairie Center Red Apple, Spoiled Dog Winery, Sho-Nuff BBQ for your quick cooking despite the rain, Tara Hizon and The Still Bill Band, Jodi Goetz and Sysco Food Service for you contributions and concern, Dez Rock and Useless Bay Coffee Company for the amazing BBQ and equipment, Whidbey TV, and most special thanks to Jason McFadyen and to Windermere Real Estate and Young’s Market for your generous donation of fine wine.

Thank you to all who turned out to support us on Saturday.

Together we raised more than $10,000, but we did not reached our goal.

This continuing geological event is not over, and you can still make donations to the Whidbey Slide Relief Fund at any Wells Fargo Branch.

Printing bone was wrongEditor,

I just viewed the actual front page of the March 21 Whidbey Examiner and was appalled that the newspaper felt it appropriate to show an image of human remains found on the beach at Coupeville.

It doesn’t matter if those remains are a few months old, a year old, or 400 years old. Would you want the bones of your ancestors portrayed in such a disrespectful manner?

I think not. One would think that a

Whidbey Island newspaper would have learned a bit more cultural sensitivity over the years, particularly given the number of Native American graves exposed over the past century on the island, and especially since 2011 when construction crews plowed through a known Indian burial site in downtown Oak Harbor.

A century ago, a group from the Swinomish Reservation visited the office of Coupeville’s Island County Times and asked the editor to request the general public’s help in protecting their relatives burial sites.

The result is document in the newspaper article “Indian graves not to be molested,” Island County Times, 12-19-1913.

Despite that plea, some of Whidbey’s non-Native population thought nothing of ransacking those graves, taking grave goods, or displaying skulls in places from atop their farm fences to glass cases in the Oak Harbor Library in the 1960s.

The recent display of human remains in The Examiner illustrates that your staff has not learned from the 2011 Oak Harbor incident.

These discoveries are not sensationalistic props to sell newspapers.

They are the remains of family members of people who live today.

Please have your reporters do some reading and familiarize yourselves with how different cultures venerate their deceased relatives.

It is sorely needed.

Theresa TrebonSedro-Woolley

Focusing on life’s positive achievementEditor,

I ran for the Greenbank commissioner position on the Port of Coupeville because I naively envisioned three elected officials coming together in public meetings with an open mind to thoughtfully and thoroughly discuss issues and reach a consensus on how to proceed. I am sad to say this has not been my experience as your District 3 commissioner for the last 15 months.

I had hoped to be a part of establishing a sensible management structure for the Port of Coupeville and the Greenbank Farm, which could actually add energy to the port as a whole, and support the farm in achieving its potential to contribute to other port economic development projects.

At this point, I see little

hope for that. In fact, I believe the port executive director and commission chair have worked in concert with the president of the Greenbank Farm Management Group to maintain a power structure that serves their personal agendas at the expense of the port district taxpayers.

I have absolutely no reason to believe that my continued participation will achieve a better outcome for port district taxpayers.

For this reason, I am writing this open letter to the people of the port district to let you know I have submitted my resignation as the District 3 commissioner of the Port of Coupeville.

I apologize to those who had hoped I could make a difference.

I plan to focus my time, energy and spirit in the other areas of my life where positive outcomes can be achieved.

Laura BlankenshipPort of Coupeville

Letters: Printing photo wrong; port commissioner steps down

If you’ve been paying at-tention to produce prices at the market, you might be in-clined to till up some of that lawn you’re tired of mowing and put in a vegetable garden instead. Sure, what could be easier? Just dig a little dirt, throw some seeds down, and let nature do its thing.

But growing your own food is a lot like having an aquarium. When every-thing’s going right you tell yourself, “This is so much fun! I think everyone should have an aquarium.”

But just wait. Your air pump stops pumping, your filter goes south, and your water quality degrades to the point the Ganges River starts to look inviting. Then your $5 fish bites the head off your $50 fish.

Vegetable gardening can be like that.

With good planning and a little extra work, you can head off some of the pitfalls. And it will be so worth it when you cook your first home grown meal.

First of all, don’t fool yourself into thinking you can grow vegetables in the shade. Most vegetables need about six hours of full sun a day, so place your garden where you get the most sun.

If you have a lot of trees and you’re unsure where that spot is, make a shade map of the most likely locations. Make a drawing of your property and go out every hour or so and mark with col-ored pencils the areas that are in the sun and those that are in shade.

After looking at what overlaps and what doesn’t, it will become apparent which site is best. You may decide to down some trees to garner that sunlight.

Take note those veggies that taste so good to us al-most invariably taste just as yummy to our four-legged friends. Without a barrier to keep the varmints out, friends will quickly become foes.

Deer are incredible jump-ers and need a fence six or

more feet tall. Also, some people maintain deer won’t jump a fence they can’t see through, or one that is both high and thick -- like the wall of a Norman castle. This is impractical for most gardeners and a tricky bit of landscaping, in any case. And just forget an electric fence. It means nothing unless it also has at least one of the above features too.

A three or four-foot fence will keep the rabbits and most dogs out, but make sure the gaps between the wires will also keep out baby bunnies. To discourage burrowing ani-mals, you can reinforce your fence at the base with chicken wire that has been bent away from the fence at a forty-five degree angle with the edge buried or weighed down.

If you love wildlife more than Brussels sprouts, just forego the fence and share the bounty of your garden with the beasts of the land and the birds of the air.

But be sure to take a pic-ture, because that’s all you’ll have to remember all your hard work by.

Stay tuned next time for more on getting that garden up and running.

Virginia Jean Ullrey

Virginia Jean Ullrey was born in Jackson Co., Oregon on August 12, 1920, and moved with her family to Meridian, Calif., at the age of five. She was one of five children, and grew up and went to school in Meridian and Sutter, CA. She was an honor student, and excelled in math and spelling. She played in the harmonica band, made handmade quilts, made tai-lored clothing, and intricate lace tablecloths.

Shortly after graduating from Sutter High School, she married James Robert Ullrey, also of Meridian. She helped her husband oper-ate their farm, raised two children, and cared for her husband’s parents. When her children left home, she began working for Yuba County Social Services, and retired from that position at the age of 70.

Shortly after her son, James R. Jr., and her hus-band passed away, she left her beloved Meridian, and moved to Sonoma Co., CA to live with her daughter, Sheryl and son-in-law, Don Sato. After her daughter Sheryl’s retirement from teaching, they moved to Whidbey Island, WA.

Virginia was very active in her church activities in the communities where she lived. In addition to being the secretary for the Meridian Methodist Church, she vol-unteered countless hours to help with needy causes.

One of her passions was quilting with her friends. She made numerous quilts, which her church quilting groups donated to wounded soldiers. She considered the Coupeville Methodist Church and her sewing

circle, a second home. She was starting another “soldier quilt”, as she called them, the day before she became ill. She worked toward help-ing others until the last week of her life.

She deeply loved her fam-ily and her friends, was a devout Christian her entire life, and never wavered in her faith in God. When she became suddenly ill, she looked forward to join-ing her son and husband in heaven. Virginia went to the waiting arms of God on April 4, 2013. She is survived by her daughter, Sheryl Sato, and son-in-law, Don Sato, of Coupeville, WA.

Internment will be at the Meridian Cemetery, where she will be buried alongside her husband, son, and four generations of Ullrey and Curtis/Daugherty family members.

A celebration of life service will be held at the Coupeville Methodist Church in Coupeville, WA. Date to be announced.

In lieu of flowers, she would be honored to know that donations were made in her name to any of the following: American Cancer Society, the Methodist Churches she attended in Meridian, CA, Cloverdale, CA, or Coupeville, WA.

OBITUARY

Blue Goose now offering weather trackingBy Nathan WhalenStaff Reporter

One thing is for sure, ev-erybody loves talking about the weather.

To give people something to talk about, a Coupeville business owner and amateur meteorologist has a weather station that puts local weath-er stats on the Internet for

everybody to see. That website provides a

wide array of weather stats that can spark local weather discussion.

David Broberg, owner of the Blue Goose Inn on North Main Street in Coupeville has a National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Adminis-tration certified weather sta-tion installed at his historic

bed and breakfast. The information collected

is published on the Internet at www.coupevilleweather.com

A link to the weather site is also available on the Blue Goose site.

“It’s been wildly popu-lar,” Broberg said. “Every-body likes talking about the weather.”

He added that since start-ing the weather information website in early February, it has been the most popular part of his Internet presence.

The website provides real time temperature, barometric pressure, dew point, humidity and soil temperatures.

It also has a National Weather Center radar im-age and a real-time image of Coupeville and Penn Cove taken from the roof of one of his buildings.

Parts of the weather sta-tion are placed on two parts of his bed and breakfast. He

has wind and temperature monitors on the roof of one of the historic homes and he has equipment monitoring soil conditions buried in the

garden. That information is funneled to a computer and then posted online.

Bergman is a relatively new bed and breakfast opera-tor. He purchased the Blue Goose Inn, which is com-prised of the Kineth House built in 1887 and the Gillespie House built in 1891, in No-vember 2012 and re-opened the lodging in December.

Formerly of Colorado, he has been planning to open a bed and breakfast for 10 years and decided to buy the Blue Goose Inn because Coupeville is a great place to live and the area has a strong

tourist economy. He is keeping active

promoting the Blue Goose, which was formally owned by Sue Cunningham.

While living in Colorado, he developed his interest in weather. He attended weather spotting classes.

He decided to start his website as a way to promote the Blue Goose. It provides a way for potential visitors to get up-to-date weather in-formation along with an idea of the view they are sure to enjoy when they visit the his-toric town.

Marshal calls on pot report


The Port Townsend / Coupeville ferry was out of service for about a half day Friday while repairs are being made to the Kennewick.

A steering alarm sounded on the Kwa-di Tabil class fer-ry for some time, said Marta Coursey, spokeswoman for the Washington State De-partment of Transportation’s Ferries Division, in an email.

She said electricians and engine room staff worked on the problem while the ferry is tied up in Port Townsend.

The issue related to the bow handles on the Kenne-wick, which would have af-fected the maneuverability of the vessel.

The United States Coast Guard cleared the ferry to re-turn to service at the 2:15 p.m. sailing from Port Townsend.

Ferry officials had also looked at activating the Sal-ish in case it has to be put in service to replace the Ken-newick.

The Salish is currently located at the ferry system’s maintenance facility at Eagle Harbor. Coursey said it’s standard procedure whenever there is a service disruption.

“Our senior port captains, senior port engineers, dis-patch operators, communica-tions and senior management evaluate the situation and de-vise an operating plan based on the system and customer needs and a real time assess-

ment of the repair issue,” Coursey said in an email.

Washington State Fer-ries has three ferries that are capable of navigating the difficult entry into Keystone Harbor on Central Whidbey Island — the Salish, Kenne-wick and Chetzemoka, which is currently serving the Point Defiance / Talequah ferry route.

With the run across Ad-miralty Inlet out of service, motorists were left with the lengthy journey of taking the Clinton / Mukilteo ferry and the Edmonds / Kingston ferry to travel to and from the Olympic Peninsula.

Ferry troubles cancel runs


By Jim WallerStaff Reporter

Coupeville High School soccer team, looking for its first win, suf-fered three more tough losses.

Undefeated Archbishop Mur-phy defeated the host Wolves 3-0 Tuesday, April 2, Granite Falls edged visiting Coupeville 2-1 Friday and King’s slipped by the Wolves 3-1 at Mickey Clark Field Monday.

Against Archbishop Murphy, Coupeville coach Paul Mendes said his club felt it was still in the match at halftime, down only 1-0. The Wildcats’ (7-0, 8-0-1) relent-less attack, however, struck twice in the second half and the Wolves couldn’t convert on its few oppor-tunities.

Mendes said, “We created a few more scoring chances in the second half with some dangerous shots on goal and three corner kicks, but could not break through.”

He added, “Archbishop Mur-phy showed why they are undefeat-ed with an impressive all-around display. They were solid at every position. Their offense and ball possession kept us busy most of

the night.”Josh Bartley scored two goals

for Murphy, and Jalen Crisler add-ed the third.

Coupeville’s effort was good, Mendes said, and “playing a team of this caliber will speed up our growth as we approach the second half of the season.”

The Granite Falls loss was the fourth by one goal this season for the Wolves.

Down 2-0 at halftime, Mendes and company made some adjust-ments to stimulate the offense in the second half. The changes helped, but Coupeville couldn’t quite catch the Tigers (2-4, 2-6).

Mendes said, “We did put to-gether a good comeback effort in the second half. Our offense was not breaking through much, so at halftime we moved Josh Wilsey (normally a defender) up to for-ward to change things.”

Wilsey scored the Wolves’ goal when he beat a defeater on a 50/50 ball and cashed in on a quick, close-range shot with his left foot.

Coupeville’s improved second-half attack made it “an intense, close game right to the end,” Men-des said.

The Wolves nearly tied it with five minutes left when central de-fender Luke Pelant just missed wide of the left post on a header.

Two late goals broke up a close match with King’s.

The Wolves’ Jeremy Copen-haver scored first, dribbling by two defenders for a close-range shot in the 22nd minute.

Mendes said, “It was a good start for us, putting their defense under a lot of pressure early on.”

That lead held up until King’s Lucas Swanson countered in the 55th minute against goalie Joel Walstad.

Swanson wasn’t through. In the final four minutes, the Knight drilled two more goals to record a hat trick and secure the win for King’s (3-4, 3-5-1).

Mendes said, “Both teams were battling back and forth with plenty of good chances to score. This was the best we played all season, so we are making progress and need to keep working hard to improve our game.”

Coupeville (0-7, 0-8) hosts Lakewood (5-2, 5-2-2) at 6 p.m. Friday.

Tough times continue for Coupeville soccer

Jeremy Copenhaver, left, races an Archbishop Murphy player for control of the ball last week. Copenhaver scored in Monday’s loss to King’s.

Coupeville softball lost twice, 14-4 and 6-5, at Lakewood Tuesday, April 2, but re-bounded to rip rival South Whidbey 11-8 at home Monday.

Excuse the Wolves if they don’t care to see Lakewood’s Hailey Malakowski again.

Malakowski picked up two pitching wins and smacked a pair of two-run home runs in the first-place Cougars’ (8-1, 9-2) sweep.

Malakowski pitched a five-inning four hitter in the opening game as the Wolves struggled to get their offense going.

Coupeville finally put together a rally in the fifth, plating three runs.

Madeline Roberts and McKayla Bailey walked and Hailey Hammer singled to load the bases.

Bessie Walstad’s fielder’s choice scored one run, then Madi Strasburg singled in two more.

Strasburg had two of the Wolves’ four hits, Hammer and Haley Sherman singled and Bree Messner walked three times.

In the second game, a few missed oppor-

tunities and a few questionable calls hurt the Wolves in their attempt to pull off the split.

Co-coach Amy King said, “We took a deep breath, got more focused and came out fighting.”

Singles by Roberts and Walstad helped the Wolves get two runs in the first in-ning, but Coupeville left the bases loaded. Stranded runners would haunt the Wolves the entire game.

The Cougars got one run back in the bottom of the first, then Coupeville scored again in the second. Roberts singled and eventually scored on a passed ball. The Wolves left two more on base.

Lakewood scored one in the second to make it 3-2, then each team scored one in the fourth with Hammer crushing a home run for the Wolves.

Coupeville scored its final run in the fifth. Bailey singled and eventually scored on Hammer’s ground out.

The Wolves played stout defense during the double header, but an error in the fifth

was costly. With two out an error put one on, then

Malakowski – who else — drilled a two-run home run to tie the game at 5.

The Wolves were unable to score in the seventh, leaving runners at second and third.

Lakewood’s leadoff hitter singled and stole second.

With two outs, she scored when the hitter drove the ball down the line by the Wolves’s diving third baseman.

Although the ball appeared to be foul, according to the Coupeville faithful, it was ruled fair and drove in the winning run.

Strasburg led the offense with a double and two singles. Hammer had a single to go along with the homer, Roberts recorded two singles and Walstad and Bailey had one single each.

Strasburg finished the day 5-for-6 and Messner had five walks and two sacrifice bunts.

Winless South Whidbey (0-9) commit-ted 15 errors to the Wolves’ one in Monday’s

game, and in the decisive sixth inning when Coupeville scored six runs, the Falcons aid-ed the uprising with four walks.

The teams traded runs in the first in-ning. A single and wild pitch resulted in the Falcon run, then Roberts boarded on an error for Coupeville and scored on Bailey’s double.

The Wolves scored two runs in the sec-ond and third to go up 5-1. In the second, a double by Haley Sherman and singles by Chevy Reyes, Bailey and Maria Rockwell plated the runs.

In the third, Bree Messner got on on an error and Chevy Reyes walked; they scored on an error.

The Falcons scored three runs in the fourth and two in the fifth to go up 6-5.

Coupeville took control with the six-run sixth.

Four walks, two errors and a passed ball produced the big inning.

Coupeville (3-4, 4-4) hosts Archbishop Murphy (2-3, 2-5) at 4 p.m. Friday.

Softball team bounces back to defeat Falcons

In the midst of its run through the Cascade Conference’s top two clubs, the Coupeville High School baseball team lost two home games, 3-1 to Cedarcrest Wednesday, March 3, and 13-2 to Archbishop Murphy Monday.

Cedarcrest’s win gave the Red Wolves a 2-1 edge in the season se-ries between the teams. ATM’s win was the first of three games between Coupeville and the defending state champions. The teams met yester-day (results were not available at press time) and finish up the series at

4 p.m. in Coupeville tomorrow.Coupeville’s Aaron Curtin

hooked up with Cedarcrest ace Col-ton Sandhofer in an “old fashioned pitchers duel,” according to Smith.

Curtin struck out six, walked two and gave up seven hits and only two earned runs.

The sophomore right-hander blanked the powerful Red Wolves until the fifth.

His teammates countered with their run in the bottom half. Korbin Korzan led with a single, stole sec-ond, moved to third on Jake Tum-

blin’s sacrifice and scored on Drew Chan’s suicide bunt.

The Red Wolves put up the final two runs in the sixth when Coupe-ville committed its only mistakes. Two singles mixed with three errors produced the two runs.

Smith said, “In spite of that in-ning, I really felt it was a well-played game and our hitters made some good adjustments after the first in-ning. After three first-inning strike outs, we only struck out twice more and hit some balls hard that went for outs.

“Overall, I was very pleased with the series and especially our pitch-ing and defense in games one and three.”

Archbishop Thomas Murphy scored four runs in each of the first two innings to cruise to Monday’ win.

Smith said his team wasn’t fo-cused at the beginning the game, and the current Cascade Conference first-place team made them pay.

While the Murphy (10-0, 11-1) offense piled up 13 hits, Wildcat starter Derrick Mahlum struck out

eight in four innings to suppress any Coupeville comeback attempt.

Down 11-0 in the fourth, the Wolves finally scored. Cole Payne scorched a pinch single, then with two outs, scored on an error.

In the fifth, Ben Etzell and Mor-gan Payne singled. Etzell eventually scored on a ground out by Aaron Trumbull.

Etzell collected two hits; and Tumblin, Joey Edwards, Korzan, Morgan Payne and Cole Payne had one each.

Coupeville takes on league’s top baseball teams

power will be restored to homes located south of the landslide by the end of the week.

Work installing the conduit started April 4.Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee along with

a group of local, state and federal elected of-ficials visited the landslide area and talked with construction workers during their tour.

He highlighted several reasons that factored into the decision to bury the power lines.

Placing the lines above ground on poles would have meant cutting down trees, which would expose the bluff to further erosion.

The conduit project comes as Island County recently converted a hiking trail into a gravel road that is wide enough for cars to access Driftwood Way, a stretch of road that was cut

off by the landslide.Blackford added that the recently installed

road isn’t wide enough to accommodate power poles. The risk vehicles colliding with power poles on the narrow road would be too high.

Seventeen homes have been without power since the landslide. That number includes the five homes that county officials yellow tagged, which means someone can enter it but not live in the house. One house has been red-tagged, which means its unsafe to enter.

Blackford said the new utility lines are being paid through rates Puget Sound Energy cus-tomers pay and the expense of the emergency project is spread throughout the system.

While Puget Sound Energy works to re-store power, officials from a neighborhood water association are gauging the damage.

The March 27 landslide destroyed approxi-mately 300 yards of water main, which cut off several homes on Driftwood Way from the Ledgewood Beach Water Association system.

Ralph Young, commissioner of the Ledge-wood Beach Water Association, said the homes that lost their connection to Ledgewood Beach have been connected to the neighboring water system in Bon Air. Young said the people at the Bon Air water association have been very co-operative in helping the homeowners on Drift-wood Way. Water got restored April 1 to homes that are still habitable.

The landslide looks to have damaged one of the water system’s three wells. The water table dropped by six feet, Young said.

“We’re going to monitor that well closely,” Young said adding leaders are working with the

Island County Health Department concerning the well.

The other two wells provide enough water for the neighborhood’s 135 homes, Young said. There won’t be a backup in place. The small system currently has a capacity for 189 shares.

He said the well will be monitored as the geologic event continues. Young added there is also a considerable amount of paperwork involved to permanently transfer the homes. Young said the cost to ratepayers would be huge to replace the water main. That would entail a longer water line that would go through the debris field and down a steep slope.

He added that he’s uncertain on how to pro-ceed. The big unknown is how much the dam-aged well will cost the members of the water association.

was available for the crowd to enjoy.

Buck, a quarter horse raised by Central Whidbey Cattleman, a Four-H Clubs on Whidbey Island, was in the field next to the parking to participate in the fundraiser. He was on hand to provide a unique version of bingo. Chil-dren also enjoyed a chance to feed the mild-mannered equine.

Amid the dancing and good cheer was an opportuni-

ty for folks to hear an update on last month’s landslide.

Jan Wright, president of the Ledgewood Beach Homeowners Association, highlighted the conditions of the area noting there also isn’t any mail service or gar-bage service. She mentioned the county recently installed a primitive access road for homes on Driftwood Way that lost access because of the landslide.

“It’s amazing to see people come out and want to help,” Wright said during the fund-

raiser. With the fundraiser com-

plete, funds will be doled out by a committe includ-ing members of the hom-eowner association, who will determine how the money is dispersed on a needs-based basis.

He noted that the geo-logic event is still not over and property owners still may need help.

The Whidbey Slide Relief Fund has been set up. Dona-tions may be made at any Wells Fargo bank location.

The March 27 landslide forced the evacuation of several homes in the Ledge-wood area. County officials red tagged one home, which means it is unsafe to even enter and they yellow tagged an additional five homes, which means that homeowners can enter those homes for a four-hour time limit.

While visiting residents at Greenbank Farm prior to his tour of the Ledgewood neighborhood, Inslee noted the amount of land that moved in Ledgewood last month.

“I think it’s the largest movement of earth since the Mount St. Helens eruption,” Inslee said while talking with folks. “We want to look for every possible way we can help the Whidbey community.”

Bailey said it was fortunate nobody was injured.

“People in Olympia are very concerned about what’s going on here,” Bailey said.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen and state Rep. Norma Smith visited the landslide site and with property owners earlier in the day.

Smith said Tuesday the visit was a good opportunity to learn about the disaster, which will put legislators in a better position to help people impacted by the disaster. She also met Monday with staff from the state division of geology and earth resources.

Homeowners are still recovering from the March disaster. They are getting help from government agencies, neighbors and nearby businesses.

A fundraiser, complete with live music, took place at the Greenbank Farm later in the afternoon. The proceeds of the fund-raiser will go to benefit the victims of the landslide.
