After nearly six months of negotiating, a contract for management of the Greenbank Farm was approved last week, dispelling ru-mors the publicly owned farm was at risk.

Prior to the meeting, speculation circu-lated about the farm’s fate. More than 20 members of the public spoke of their strong connection to the farm and their desire to help and support the Greenbank Farm com-munity and pleaded with Port of Coupeville commissioners to approve an agreement.

During the meeting, Greenbank Farm Management Group President Mike Stans-bury pushed to present his proposal to the commissioners and asked that a decision be made that day.

“The arrangement and management needs stability,” Stansbury said Thursday. “Once it drags out, it leaves it open for ru-mors and speculation. Our objective was to put an end to that. There has never been a proposal to boot tenants or close the farm.”

The new, five-year agreement between the Port of Coupeville and The Greenbank Farm Management Group initially extends the cur-

rent contract terms through the end of 2015.The port and management group came to

a stalemate last month after the two parties discussed cutting the management group’s $50,000 fee.

Due to limited revenue and increasing maintenance costs, port officials are strug-gling with balancing budgets.

Port Commissioner Marshall Bronson ex-plained to the crowd how the port has strug-gled since assuming the cost of purchasing the farm, a voter-approved transaction.

The port brings in roughly $300,000 an-nually and pays $105,000 each year on the bond for the farm. The bond will be paid off in 2018.

“We’ve had an obligation to pay $100,000 a year and did not raise the tax base,” Bron-

son said. The port manages historic structures on

the farm as well as the Coupeville Wharf. Both are aging and need considerable main-tenance and repairs.

“We’re faced with considerable opposi-tion,” Bronson said. “Most people want the farm and not a lot care about the wharf. Both have to balance its books.”

REPRESENTATIVES FROM both sides met multiple times in the last month in an attempt to find ways to cut both the port and Greenbank Farm budgets.

Under the new proposal, the management group identified several items it can assume responsibility for, including the repair or re-

As a middle school science teacher, Terry Welch can tell you what’s the matter with matter and is crystal clear in her un-derstanding of rock formations.

But interpreting a message on her iPhone can sometimes still be an adventure.

So when an email came into her phone during a school bus ride back to Coupeville, an eager student peeked over her shoulder, intercepted the message and shouted the news.

Coupeville’s Science Olympiad team was headed to the state tournament.

Welch laughed this week as she recalled the events that unfolded Feb. 28, leading to an eruption of electronic messages through-out the bus and ultimately to what will be an early wakeup call this Saturday.

Donning new white lab coats, 15 Coupe-ville High School students are headed to the state tournament at Highline College in Des Moines.

The cause of death for a 25-year-old inmate at the Island County Jail may be dehydration, according to Island County Coroner Robert Bishop.

Corrections deputies reported finding Keaton Farris dead in his jail cell at 12:20 a.m., Wednesday, April 8.

“At this time, there is nothing to indicate that this could be a homicide or suicide,” Bishop said this week.

Initial laboratory testing indicates that Farris may have died from dehydration but that the determination of the cause and manner of death may not be completed for another four to six weeks, according to Bishop.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said

A handful of historic building owners in Ebey’s Landing National Histori-cal Reserve received a com-bined $56,000 in preservation grants this year.

Of the eight grant re-cipients, two are Front Street business owners, which Re-serve staff hope add to the awareness of the Ebey’s For-ever program.

John Rodriguey, owner of Toby’s Tavern and the original Whidbey Mercantile building, received a grant to-ward a facade restoration.

“I have an old photograph from about 1900,” Rodriguey said. “I’m trying to dupli-cate it as close as we can get it. There have been a lot of changes over the years.”

The project entails taking down all the old siding from the last 1955 remodel, adding an awning with supports and cleaning up the front.

Rodriguey says he’s been working with the town since about September and go-ing through the permitting process.

He is scheduled to ap-pear in front of the Historic Preservation Commission on Thursday, April 23.

“It’s a lot of work,” Ro-driguey said. “We’re very, very thankful to the Friends of Ebey’s and the Trust Board.”

Once all approvals are in place, the project should take about a month to complete.

Rodriguey said the trick will be getting the work done without closing down.

The other Front Street business to receive a grant was Knead N Feed to restore

storefront windows in its 1871 Sedge Building.

Sarah Steen, an employee with the Reserve, said 11 ap-plications were received this year for the Ebey’s Forever Preservation Grant Program.

Applications are evaluat-ed on nine criteria and given a score.

One of the things taken into consideration is the own-er’s commitment to keeping the building up and the time

and effort they are willing to invest.

Steen said the Reserve staff members like to have a range of projects from com-mercial spaces to private residents and even publicly owned buildings.

In previous years, the pro-gram has funded work at the Coupeville Wharf and also state park structures.

Other 2015 recipients in-clude the Coupe House for window and siding restora-tion; the Holbrook Garage for eave and siding repair, re-roofing and drainage installa-tion; the Keith Barn sill, sid-ing and lower window repairs and installation of a ramp and roof flashing; The Geo. Libbey house for window repairs and porch entry res-toration; window and siding restoration at the Nienhuis Long Barn; and roof work on the Watson House.

In its fifth year, the grant program has allocated more than $320,000 to help fund 45 individual projects, accord-ing to the Reserve. The grant money was raised locally.

“Ebey’s Landing Histori-cal Reserve is all about the history of the people, their homes and their buildings,” said Paul Whelan, who served on the grant advisory board. “Ebey’s Forever Fund is keeping that history alive.”

Niki Greene, age 14, is brimming with excitement as she talks about her upcoming performance with the Island Dance Performing Team.

Greene has been with the school since the age of five; this is her first year on the team, an opportunity she’s had her sights on for over two years.

“Everything fell into place,” she said.

Greene will be join-ing fellow Island Dance Performing Team members and guests at the upcoming annual Other Moves dance showcase, which features a variety of dance styles rang-ing from hip hop to lyrical, jazz and contemporary.

Performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium Theater.

In addition to it being a venue for community members and Island Dance performers to take to the stage to demonstrate their artistry, the showcase is a major fundraiser for the per-forming team.

Funds raised from the

event will be used to offset the costs of competitions throughout the year. They include travel expenses, entrance fees and costumes.

Jamee Pitts, artistic director and choreographer, stressed that the team is less focused on winning competitions and more upon building the dancers’ skill sets and showcasing their teamwork, tenacity and passion.

“We aren’t going there and saying, ‘I’m going to win first place; I’m going to win double-platinum,’ ” Pitts said. “We’re going and saying, ‘I’m going to share my gift and my love for dance; and I’m going to share my story with the audience; and I can’t wait to get the judges’ critique to better myself.’ ”

The team was created by Susan Vanderwood as a means for intermediate dancers who were not quite ready to join the profession-al Whidbey Island Dance Theater company to get a lit-tle more out of the school, a sort of “next edge,” towards a dance career.

Competition was never really the focus, which Pitts says is somewhat unique to Island Dance due to it being home to a school, profession-

al dance company and per-formance team rather than one of these alone.

Pitts has been dancing since age three, and has been the director of the per-formance team for five years.

Her teaching style and philosophy are indicative of her emphasis upon educa-tion and artistry, as is her bond with the girls.

“She’s not like any ordi-nary teacher,” said Chyler White, age 11. White explained that Pitts’ patience and sense of humor are two

of the qualities which make her a good teacher.

White has been dancing with the school since age three, and joined the team two years ago.

Thus far, she estimates she’s been in about seven competitions, including nationals in 2014.

“It was really exciting, and really fun,” she said of the nationals competition. “We got to go to California, and I got to share that experience with the whole team.”

It was the first time Pitts

had taken the team to a national competition.

“It was definitely an expe-rience,” said Pitts, explaining that if she is to take the team to a future national event, she will likely choose one less competition centric, a more educational and “con-vention-based” event.

Tickets cost $12 in advance and $15 at the door and can be purchased in advance at Island Dance and Gymnastics by calling 360-341-1282 or at the office at 714 Camano Ave.

A group of volunteers for the Town of Coupe-ville are going door-to-door to help raise awareness of how to be prepared in an emergency.

The Neighborhood Emergency Team, or NET, is personally invit-ing residents in town to at-tend a series of neighbor-hood meetings to explain the program and how to be involved.

The next meeting is 6:30-7:45 p.m. Thursday at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

The town has been di-vided into 10 areas — Ma-drona, Krueger, Old Town North, Old Town South, Lindsay, Parker, Penning-ton, Albion Ridge, Prairie Center North and Prairie Center South.

Bonnie Abney, NET coordinator, said meetings have already been held for Parker, Old Town North and Albian Ridge.

The meeting Thursday will focus on the Madrona area.

If someone has missed their designated meeting, they are welcome to at-tend a different one, Ab-ney said.

The next meeting is be-ing planned for Thursday, May 7, for the Lindsay area.

NET has an ongo-ing role to educate but to also serve a role during an emergency, Abney said.

NET volunteers will check on the well-being of neighbors, provide com-munication support by sharing and posting event information, assist in securing resources and al-ternate housing and assist in opening shelters and other emergency needs.

The first step is to edu-cate the community on how to be prepared for an emergency.

The meeting Thursday will cover topics such as having enough supplies for three to seven days, grab-and-go bags, infor-mation contact cards, and plans for pets and shelter in place.

Representatives from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue will also be on hand to demonstrate CPR.

NET was started by Mayor Nancy Conard in 2006 as a response to a major windstorm and lengthy power outage.

Abney took over as coordinator in 2013 and hopes to one day expand the program.

“I would like to see us prepared to support our ZIP code,” she said. “It’s good to know your neigh-bor and how to help your neighbor.”

Linda Gipson is not guilty of assaulting a patient at Whidbey General Hospital.

That was the ruling Friday by jurors in Island County District Court who deliberated for about 90 minutes.

The jury found that Gipson, chief nursing offi-cer for Whidbey General Hospital, is innocent of fourth-degree assault.

The case was unusual for the District Court because of the high-profile nature of the defendant and com-plexity of the case, which involved numerous wit-nesses, including experts in the medical field.

Gipson, 63, was accused of assault for grabbing a mental-health patient by the chin while the woman was in four-point restraints in May 2014.

The jury made a spe-cial finding that Gipson’s “use of force was lawful by a preponderance of evi-dence,” according to Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks.

That, he explained, means she may be able to recoup her attorney’s fees and other costs through a state account set up to reimburse defendants found not guilty by reason of self-defense.

Several nurses who were in the room testified against Gipson, saying that her actions were unnec-essary and that Gipson acted inappropriately out of anger directed toward a troublesome patient. A nurse whom Gipson fired after she complained about her actions has since moved and wasn’t able to

testify.Gipson took the stand

last Wednesday and testi-fied that she was follow-ing her years of training in responding to an atten-tion-seeking, troublesome mental health patient by redirecting her attention.

She described how she was responding to a “code gray,” issued because the patient was unruly and trying to escape from her restraints. Gipson said she entered the patient’s room and found that the nurses weren’t following protocol.

“I was profoundly disap-pointed that the staff had handled themselves so poorly,” she said.

Gipson testified that the patient pulled an arm out of her restraints.

Gipson said she held the woman’s chin while another nurse reapplied the restraints.

Gipson and several defense witnesses testi-fied that it’s a common

technique in dealing with unruly patients.

Brenden Hansen, a doc-tor at Whidbey General Hospital, testified for the defense; he worked with Gipson in running the emergency department.

He said he’s very famil-iar with the patient, who was diagnosed with bor-derline personality disor-der and often arrives at the ER after becoming intoxi-cated.

People with that disor-der tend to be very unpre-dictable, he said, adding the woman previously assaulted staff at the hos-pital.

Hansen testified that it’s a common technique to control patients’ heads in order to focus their atten-tion and prevent them from hurting themselves or oth-ers.

It can be necessary even when the patient is restrained, he said.

Hansen said he read the

reports by the other nurs-es and other documents and concluded that Gipson acted appropriately.

“I think there was a misinterpretation by the people on the bedside,” he said.

On cross examination, Hansen conceded that it is never appropriate for medi-cal providers to put their hands on a patient as a pun-ishment or retaliation. He also agreed that the med-ical-surgical wing, where the patient was being held, is a different environment than the emergency room.

The 30-year-old patient testified earlier in the week. She claimed that she doesn’t suffer from border-line personality disorder and disputed evidence pre-sented in the court about her history of assaulting staff members at Whidbey General and other hospi-tals.

She claimed that Gipson choked her. She also admit-ted on the stand that she is suing the hospital over the incident.

After the verdict was handed down, Banks said he respects the jury’s deci-sion.

Banks said his office didn’t bring charges based on the word of the patient but that three eyewitness nurses put their jobs on the line to testify about what they saw.

“I felt it was a case that needed to be decided by a jury,” he said.

Nurse chief found not guilty

Jessie Stensland photo

Whidbey General Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Linda Gipson was found not guilty of assaulting a mentally ill patient.

Whidbey Island will get a bit of national exposure in the coming months after a film production company shoots a car commercial on the island next week.

Scenes will be shot between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, and Wednesday, April 22, in Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley.

The Island County sheriff

will be providing intermittent traffic control.

Roads that will be impact-ed are Dike Road in Oak Harbor, Cook Road and Ebey Road in Coupeville and Bob Galbreath Road, among oth-ers, in Langley.

Imperial Woodpecker, based in Los Angeles and New York, is the company filming the commercial for Nissan.

Coupeville resident Lisa Bernhardt announced this week she will run for one of two known open seats com-ing up with Coupeville Town Council.

“I’m really passionate about he community and I already volunteer so I figured why not throw my hat in the ring,” she said. “I would like to have input on my com-munity.

“I want to be part the pro-cess that makes Coupeville, Coupeville.”

Bernhardt said when she learned there would be open seats coming up on council, she approached Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard to find out what the job entailed.

She isn’t sure which seat she will run for, but just said it will be one of the open ones.

Bernhardt has lived on Whidbey Island since 1980

and has spent the last 21 years in Coupeville.

She’s been the director of the Pacific North-

west Art School for the last 10 years and serves on the board for the Island County Economic Development Council.

She’s also active with the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, serving as presi-dent for three years.

Three council seats are up for reelection, including seats currently occupied by Molly Hughes — who announced she’s running for mayor, —Bob Clay and Jackie Henderson.

Mayor Nancy Conard has already announced she will not seek reelection.

ExaminerThe Whidbey

In a column a couple of months back, I wrote about some great plants for shade gar-dens. One of the plants I men-tioned was sweet box, or Sarco-cocca, a very fragrant evergreen perennial that sometimes has a tendency to spread via runners.

If you’re looking to show-case a single specimen of a plant and don’t want your garden eventually overrun with an

army of clones, then take care to do due diligence when conduct-ing a botanical background check on potential purchases.

On the other hand, spreaders can come in handy when you need a lot of something and the thickness of your wallet doesn’t mesh with the grandiosity of your garden design. Putting in a hedge or barrier is a good example of making use of multiple plantings of a single plant. With spreaders, though, you can plug in a smaller number of these plants at wider intervals and let them do the filling in.

Bamboo is an obvious choice when you want to block out the rest of the world. It may just be a grass, but it’s like quack grass on steroids. A sturdy and deep barrier of concrete or metal is advised if you require a boundary across which you don’t want your bam-boo to pass. Another choice would be to use clumping varieties of bamboo and allow the clumps to eventually meet. It’s slower, but it may be safer in the long run.

Though the rest of these shrubs love to send out runners, they’re not quite as aggressive as bamboo and can more easily be held in check by selective pruning and pulling up errant runners.

There’s Nandina domestica, also called heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo. Nandina isn’t a bamboo at all, of course, but a member of the Berberidaceae, or barberry, family. If you doubt it, just scrape off some of the outer bark and you should find bright yellow inner bark typical of members of this family.

Introduced more than 200 years ago from Asia as an orna-mental, Nandina’s numerous small lance-shaped leaves and nar-row, upright shape give it a somewhat bamboo-like appearance but with evergreen foliage that changes color with the seasons.

Nandina is so good at spreading from both seeds and rhi-zomes that in Florida it’s considered a noxious weed. Obviously, we don’t share Florida’s climate, and it hasn’t risen to such noto-riety here.

Another spreader is Sorbaria sorbifolia, or false spirea. It’s a deciduous shrub that gets its nickname from the frothy spires of white blooms it produces in late summer. Like true spirea, or Spi-reae, it’s also a member of the rose family, believe it or not.

And then there’s Rosa rugosa. If you’ve ever backed into a barberry while weeding then know this: a Rugosa is worse. It must surely have been the inspiration for that wicked wall of thorns Maleficent conjured up around Sleeping Beauty’s castle.

Rosa rugosa will do quite well even if it’s heavily pruned back every year. And I’ve read you can cut false spirea down to the ground from time to time when it gets unruly and it will bounce back with gusto.

Wait a minute. Couldn’t the same be said about Himalayan blackberries? And stinging nettle? And kudzu?

Oh, well. Keep your loppers sharp and keep them handy.

Finding a silver lining in some plant bad habits

toni grovesowin ’n’ the trowel

Use event as means for significant changeEditor,

We have learned that grabbing a four-point restrained, medicated men-tal health patient by the chin and telling her that she has “lost her rights and privileges” is considered an acceptable treatment modality and is legal in Is-land County.

Verdict aside, the evidence and testimonies presented during this trial beg the question of why this fiasco hap-pened in the first place.

It is important to understand that any violent or nonviolent abuse of a mental health patient by a health care professional is a symptom of a deeper problem. When health professionals are not familiar with the plethora of mental health presentations, symptoms are not recognized and a patient may suffer even more because of the underedu-cated caregiver’s inappropriate action, inaction or reaction.

Our island witnessed first-hand what happens when a clinically inex-perienced hospital nursing administra-tor attempts to intervene for a mental health symptom with which she is un-der-skilled. Additionally, “cookbook” interventions do not work well with the mentally ill since this population is intrinsically unique in that they live within the boundaries of their psychiat-ric disorder.

The mental health care crisis is not a

situation that hospitals can “pawn off” to another entity or ignore, hoping it will go away. Continuing mental health care budget cuts are forcing non-psy-chiatric health care facilities to absorb this added responsibility.

Hospitals “housing” detained mental health patients has proven to be a frustrating adjustment for many ill-prepared hospital staff. Because of this delay in psychiatric treatment, a patient’s symptoms often escalate, cre-ating a perfect storm for abuse as the caregiver attempts to maintain control over their charge.

Because the root of a professional’s toxic interventions is due to a knowl-edge deficit, every in-patient facility should be required to provide appropri-ate mental health education and train-ing to all professional and para-profes-sional employees.

Nonpsychiatric hospital administra-tors have a responsibility to recognize and acknowledge that challenges of mental health care in “their” facility are here to stay. They have a duty to effec-tively accommodate the mental health patient until transfer to a psychiatric hospital is obtained.

Whidbey General Hospital employs many conscientious, ethical and highly skilled bedside professionals who are eager to affect this change. All they need is a responsible and accountable administration to support this essen-tial patient care–centered educational need.

As a public district and critical ac-cess hospital, it’s my expectation that WGH’s administrators will honor their responsibility to our community and their employees by viewing this event as a transformative opportunity to ef-fectively shelter mental health patients who are admitted under the Involun-tary Treatment Act.

placement of the heat pump in Barn A and deferring re-habilitation of an irrigation system.

With other cuts, the man-agement group estimates the new terms decrease port spending by roughly $30,000.

“We cut some costs in terms we felt we could do,” Stansbury said.

Port Executive Direc-tor David Day, who worked with Stansbury on nego-tiations, said he doesn’t necessarily agree with that $30,000 figure.

“From the window he’s looking through, that’s how he sees it,” Day said. “From my calculations, it’s closer to $15,000-$20,000. But it’s still a decrease.”

Another budget fac-tor the port has to take into consideration from its end is a potential increase in ad-ministrative costs as the port assumes more management responsibility at the farm.

“I do think it’s impor-tant to understand in 2018 the farm bond is paid off,” he told commissioners. “In order to work together as a bridge until 2018 is of value.”

Commissioner Mike Dia-manti spoke in favor of the proposal, saying it met the goals of what the port was trying to accomplish, and asked that commissioners take a vote.

“This is really impor-tant,” he said. “It’s critical.”

The proposal was ap-proved unanimously.

UNDER THE new terms, 2016 will be what Stansbury describes as an experimental time as the port will take on additional

management responsibilities.In 2016, the port will

take over tenant leases and assume additional contract costs.

“The management group has been fairly independent,” Day said. “This new ar-rangement remodels that.”

Currently, the port pays the management group the $50,000 fee for various du-ties involved with what the group classifies as the man-aged space that makes up the public trails and open space. This oversight includes maintaining fields, weed control and general mainte-nance.

“It’s not just a commer-cial venture,” Day said. “It’s a fairly large piece of land to make sure it’s safe for people and that it functions.”

The group also collects all the rent and in return is responsible for maintaining the farm.

“Under the new system, it all changes,” Stansbury said. “2016 is our time to experi-ment.”

The management group collects roughly $85,000 an-nually in rent. Under the new terms, the port will also receive rent from the man-agement group, bringing that total to an estimated $114,000.

With that change, the port will be responsible for additional costs, including some vendor services and other contracts.

The management group

will receive $117,000 annu-ally to continue managing the farm.

This entails managing employees, dealing with ten-ant concerns and covering the expense of supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, gasoline for farm equip-ment and poop bags for dog walkers.

THE MANAGEMENT group’s annual budget cur-rently is around $550,000, which includes port fees, leases, grants and other fun-draising endeavors.

Within the group’s overall budget, it manages the farm into five separate budgets — commercial, managed, or-

ganic farm school, farm shop and general management.

Stansbury said the group raises about $65,000 annu-ally. Those funds go into the general management fund.

The Greenbank Farm plays hosts to larger island events such as the High-land Games, Back Country Horseman events and also hosts weddings.

“Those things don’t just happen,” Stansbury said. “There’s a lot of effort that goes into those things.”

The management group maintains 20 employees, in-cluding full time, part time and some contracted and seasonal positions.

The Greenbank Farm’s total personnel costs ran roughly $270,000 in 2014.

Employee costs are split between revenue streams based on which part of the farm the position serves.

Steve Holmberg, who serves as treasurer for the management group, said positions such as the execu-tive director, are split among multiple budgets.

Each year Judy Feldman, who works in that position, is asked to estimate how much of her time is spent in various areas of the farm from dealing with mainte-nance of the public trails to promotion efforts of the farm.

“It varies by month and it’s not worth our time to beat it death,” Holmberg said.

In 2014, Feldman’s $67,000 salary was split be-tween all of the budgets with the majority — 35 percent — being covered by the general

fund.Another position that

gets allocated across all the budgets is the operations co-ordinator. That $39,000 an-nual salary is split in all bud-gets, with 45 percent coming from the general fund and 35 percent from the commercial budget.

The contracted book-keeper position is also allo-cated across the board.

Programs like the organic farm school are for the most part self sufficient. The man-agement group does subsi-dize a bit there and with the farm shop, Holmberg said.

“What we brought in, we’ve spent,” he said. “We’re not sitting on a pile of cash.”

THE NEW terms of the agreement stipulate that ei-ther party can opt to end the contract at the end of each year, starting at the end of 2016, with six months notice.

This allows both sides to reevaluate terms and seek adjustments.

“I think both of us feel the fence,” Stansbury said. “We need that flexibility.”

The new terms require both sides to work together on some of the more day-to-day operations. Both parties will also work together to seek additional grant op-portunities, which Stansbury said they are already discuss-ing in regards to heating and insulation in Barn A.

“I feel really good about the way David (Day) and I are cooperating,” Stansbury said. “If we can find some ways to improve the heating and the way it can used, it could be a big draw.”

Providing peace of mind by keeping you organized.

By Jim WallerStaff Reporter

A sparkling pitching per-formance by Aaron Curtin and a swift run by Lathom Kelley are the latest gems of the Coupeville High School spring sports scene.

Curtin struck out 15 in a two-hitter to help the Coupe-ville baseball team to a 7-0 win over visiting La Conner Friday, April 10.

Kelley, running the 300 hurdles for the first time, won the event in the 18-team Cashmere Invitational Satur-day, April 11. His time of 52.7 is the third-best among 1A runners this season.

The Coupeville softball team defeated Concrete 9-7 Tuesday, April 7; then on Saturday, April 11, the ten-nis team fell 4-1 at Charles Wright and the soccer team lost 10-0 at Vashon Island.

The Wolves’ softball game with La Conner Friday was postponed because of weather and has not been re-scheduled.

The baseball team’s con-test with Concrete Monday was rained out and played Wednesday; results were not available at press time.

The tennis match with Lakewood Monday was also rained out and will now be played in Coupeville at 3 p.m. Monday, April 20.

Senior pitcher cuts down La Conner

The wind blew steady and strong across the Coupeville field, but it was Curtin and not Mother Nature who blew away La Conner.

The nasty wind made life difficult for fielders trying to track fly balls, but Cur-tin made sure his defenders didn’t have to worry about the weather conditions.

Curtin fanned 15; the other six outs were all from ground balls.

La Conner’s defense wasn’t so lucky, misplaying several fly balls into base hits.

Curtin and Coupeville were in control from the be-ginning.

After Curtin struck out the side in the top of the first,

Coupeville struck for two runs in the bottom half of the inning.

Josh Bayne started the inning with a walk, stole sec-ond and moved to third on a wild pitch. With two outs, Curtin walked, then Bayne scored when the pair ex-ecuted a double steal. Carson Risner followed with a single to score Curtin.

The Wolves added two runs in the second inning. A single by Clay Reilly and a walk to Hunter Smith got things going, and each moved up with a stolen base.

With Bayne at the plate, the Wolves attempted a sui-cide squeeze, but the pitch was wild and bounced off the backstop. Reilly was able to sneak under the catcher’s tag for the first run. Cole Payne later singled in Smith.

In the third inning, Cur-tin led off with a triple, hit-ting the fence on the fly in straight-away right field. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Aaron Trumbull to make it 5-0.

The Wolves finished the scoring in the fourth. Reilly singled, stole second and took third on Smith’s single. Like the first inning, the Wolves were able to score on a double steal; this time Reilly tallied the run.

Smith eventually scored on a ground out.

Reilly finished the day 3-for-3 with a double, three stolen bases and two runs.

Coach Willie Smith was pleased with his team’s effort: “That’s two games in a row we didn’t play down to our competition.”

Coupeville (1-0, 4-4) returns to conference play when it meets Chimacum (1-1, 2-6) at home Thursday at 4 p.m.

Wolves rally for 9-7 win over Concrete

Coming back from an ear-ly deficit, the Wolves clipped Concrete 9-7.

The Lions spurted to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, but the undaunted Wolves pushed across two runs in their own half and then add-ed four in the third inning to

take the lead for good.“All are becoming better

hitters,” coach Deanna Raf-ferty said, “and our defense in finally catching up with our offense.”

Concrete opened the game with a walk, then with two outs, the Lions rapped three singles to plate three runs.

Coupeville came back with two runs in the bottom of the first. Singles by Lauren Rose, Tiffany Briscoe and McKayla Bailey loaded the bases, then a base hit by Hai-ley Hammer and a walk to Hope Lodell drove in runs.

The Lions used two hits and an error to score in the third inning to go up 4-2.

The Wolves then rallied for four runs in the bottom of the inning. A walk to Katrina McGranahan and two er-rors produced one run, then Monica Vidoni singled in another. Jae LeVine put down a bunt that scored Bailey, and Briscoe walked with the bases loaded to force in the fourth run.

Coupeville made it 8-4 with two runs in the fourth. Bailey reached on an error and Hammer bounced a ball over the centerfield fence for a double. Vidoni slugged her second RBI single, which was followed by an error that scored the second run.

Coupeville scored its fi-nal run in the bottom of the sixth. Hammer ripped an-other double and eventually scored on Vidoni’s ground-out.

Hammer, back after miss-ing the previous two games with an injury, finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI.

Rose, Briscoe, Bailey and Vidoni all added two hits.; Vidoni had three RBI.

LeVine also had a hit and RBI.

McGranahan pitched a complete game for the win.

Coupeville (1-0, 2-4) hosts

Chimacum (1-0, 4-2) at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 16.

Track competes in Cashmere Invite

A small band of Coupe-ville track and field athletes put in a solid performance at the Cashmere Invitational.

Missing much of its team because of spring break, Coupeville sent a dozen members to Cashmere and came away with 10 season-best marks, according to coach Randy King.

Kelley, in addition to win-ning the 300-meter hurdles, posted season-best times while placing sixth in the 200 (23.65) and eighth in the 100 (11.88).

Dalton Martin finished fourth in the discus (129-01).

The girls were led by Lau-ren Grove (seventh, triple jump, 28-00.75) and Skylar Lawrence (seventh, shot put, 28-05.5).

The Wolves will take part in a league meet with Se-quim and Klahowya at Port Townsend at 3:15 p.m. Thurs-day, April 16.

Wolves fall in tennis to Charles Wright

“Despite the 4-1 score, I was pleased with the results,” coach Ken Stange said. “CWA is one of the premier 1A programs in area. Our players took full advantage of the chance to play against some quality players.”

Coupeville earned its point against Charles Wright in second doubles where McKenzie Bailey and Wynter Thorne won 6-2, 6-4.

“The best part about this match was watching them figure out how to make subtle adjustments as the match went along,” Stange said.

With their win, Bailey and Thorne netted Players of the Match honors.

Jacki Ginnings dropped the first singles match 6-0, 6-1; and Valen Trujillo fell in second singles 3-6, 6-3, 10-8.

Payton Aparicio and Sage Renninger lost 6-1, 6-1 in first doubles, while Sydney Autio and Micky LeVine were edged 7-5, 7-5 in third doubles.

Coupeville (1-3) travels to South Whidbey (5-1) at 3 p.m. Wednesday and returns home to meet Chimacum (1-3) in a league match at 3 p.m. Friday.

Soccer team drops match at Vashon

“We did not do so well,” coach Kyle Nelson said in regard to the 10-0 loss. “We played like we were on break.”

He added that his club will regroup and prepare for its conference matches, which begin this week.

The Wolves (1-5) open Olympic League play at Chimacum (1-5) at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16.

“We don’t get up,” said junior Garrett Compton, guessing there will be some late-minute preparations. “We just don’t go to sleep.”

The Wolves earned the trip after landing the seventh and final qualifying spot at the Northwest Region com-petition in Seattle.

It will be Coupeville’s first appearance at the state event in the school’s fourth year of participating in the Science Olympiad.

“They’re motivated,” Welch said. “It’s just nice to know they have a passion for this. They definitely have bonded. They definitely have fun.”

The Science Olympiad is a team competition in which students compete in various scientific disciplines from

earth science to physics to engineering.

There are 24 events in all, some that involve timed tests while others are building events scored by how a team is able to design and con-struct a certain device that performs a specific task.

The Scrambler is one building event that falls under the division of technology and engineering.

Coupeville’s trio of ju-

nior Connor McCormick, sophomore Nick Dion and freshman Luke Carlson com-bined to construct a device that uses energy from a fall-ing mass to transport an egg along a straight track.

Success is measured by how quickly the egg is deliv-ered and how close it gets to a terminal barrier without cracking.

“You have to use gravita-tional potential energy,” Dion

said. “The energy of a falling mass.”

McCormick then dem-onstrated an air trajectory device that shoots a pingpong ball.

Some students focus more heavily on the chemistry aspect of forensics. Others such as junior Lilan Sekigawa enjoys working with protein modeling.

“It’s a great way to chal-lenge yourself and learn at the same time,” Compton said.

It’s a way to learn beyond the traditional classroom set-ting.

“Its just fun,” senior Geoff McClarin said. “It’s way more indepth. And you get to build stuff.

“It’s just a giant nerd party.”

Community members have volunteered after school to coach the students in dif-ferent disciplines, depending on their backgrounds. There are 10 coaches in all, includ-ing three science teachers.

Welch said she welcomes

more community members to step forward.

“Some have PHDs in that subject,” Welch said. “Some were engineers at Boeing.”

Those interested in vol-unteering may contact Welch via email at twelch@coupe ville.k12.wa.us

The program starts again in October.

Coupeville has 21 students involved in Science Olym-piad with those not bound for the state competition still involved in various capacities.

Coupeville’s roster is made up of: seniors Kather-ine Lovell, Marissa Etzell, Allison Gauslow and Geoff McClarin; juniors Julianne Sem, Dani Johnson, Zane Bundy, Sebastian Davis, Loren Nelson, McCormick, Compton and Sekigawa; sophomores John McClarin, Jonathan Thurston, Joseph Wedekind, Jose Castro and Dion; freshmen Laurence Boado, William Nelson, McKenzie Meyer and Carl-son.

two corrections deputies are on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into possible department policy violations following the in-mate’s death.

Farris was being held on an identity theft charge out of San Juan County and was incarcerated at the Island County Jail since March 26, 2015, according to the sheriff.

Brown said Farris was by himself in a “safety room” at the jail when he died.

Farris was living on Lo-pez Island and graduated from high school there but attended Coupeville High

School during his sophomore and junior years. He was on the track and football teams.

Ken Stange, Farris’ former English teacher, de-scribed him as “a personable guy who had a certain mag-netism about him.”

“Although I didn’t know him too well, it was obvi-ous that he was passionate about sports and the people he cared about,” he said. “Damn, that kid was fast, even in the hallways.”

Online court records show that Farris was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail and ordered to be evaluated by Western State Hospital for competency to stand trial.
