Bailey vs. Haugen for Senate seat

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Jessie Stensland / Whidbey News-Times

State Rep. Barbara Bailey, flanked by friends and family, announces Monday morning that she is running for Washington State Senate against incumbent Mary Margaret Haugen.

Flanked by family members, supporters and well-known Whidbey Republicans, Barbara Bailey announced at a Monday morning event in Oak Harbor that she is running for a Washington State Senate seat.

Rumors have been swirling around Oak Harbor for months that Bailey, a longtime Republican state representative, will seek the District 10 Senate seat currently held by Mary Margaret Haugen

(D-Camano). Bailey confirmed the rumors, explaining that the continuing problems with the state budget and the inability to find solutions in Olympia has “driven” her to it.

“It’s ridiculous that we continue to find ourselves in this situation over and over again,” she said, noting that lawmakers are once again in an extended special session to deal with budget cuts.

Haugen, the longtime chairwoman of the powerful transportation committee, sent out a press release See Senate, A4

Donuts pass the 3-year-old test

The Donut Master sells donuts of all varieties. busy after its initial opening that it ran out of donuts and had to close shop for a day.

After that, management temporarily adopted a strict sixpastries per person limit just to keep the doors open.

Multiple attempts to reach the shop’s owner and baker have been unsuccessful and a store manager said she could

not comment. However, she did confirm that additional help has since come on to assist. The six-donut cap has also been lifted.

Janet Sadano and her son, Nathan, were in the shop recently getting their first batch of pastries, though it wasn’t their first visit.

Before a display case of sweet, sticky “holey” goodness, 3-year-old Zolyeenah Bolden stands speechless.

Her arms are spread high across the glass and her face has taken on a vacant expression. Her sisters, VeyAnna and Xaviera, are there too but they have temporarily ceased to exist.

For the moment, all that matters is choosing from the racks of maple bars, sugar twists and oh-so-lovely donuts, covered in every imaginable topping, that are spread out before her.

Zolyeenah may be only 3, but her reaction seems to be pretty common at the new Donut Master on Barrrington Drive in Oak Harbor. Since the shop opened late last month, the place has been a madhouse of guilty pleasure.

In fact, the store was so

but never left with anything,” she laughed.

They didn’t mind having to come back, however. Janet said she prefers to support local businesses and Nathan said the store was a big improvement over the previous occupants.

This wasn’t the first trip for the Boldens either, though it was also their first time leaving with goodies. Monica Bolden, Zolyeenah’s mother, works at the bakery in Safeway across the street and she said she just couldn’t resist a peek at the competition.

“We wanted to see what all the hoopla was about,” she said.

While little Zolyeenah faithfully said she still likes her mother’s donuts the best, the rainbow sprinkles stuck to her cheeks made it clear she had nothing bad to say about the Donut Master.

Tax statements may surprise some News-Times staff

Island County property owners may be surprised when they see an extra charge listed on their property tax statements due to arrive in the mail this week.

The county’s new Clean Water Utility fee will be included. Property owners living in residential zones, which include most of the county, will see a charge of $39.13 per year. For people living on land zoned agricultural, the rate is $29.95 per year, according to a news release from Island County Public Works.

Land inside the city limits of Langley, Coupeville and Oak Harbor is exempt, as is government property, forest and timberlands, and the Marshall Drainage Utility in the Clinton area.

On December 20, 2010 the Board of Island County Commissioners created a Clean Water Utility to address concerns about surface and groundwater

quality and quantity in Island County.

A parcel may be eligible for a reduction in the rate if it is in a sewer or storm water district. Parcels in a sewer district receive a 13 percent reduction in their rate. Parcels in a diking or drainage district receive a 42 percent reduction in their rate.

In addition, certain parcels can be eligible for credits on the rate. Property owners who qualify for a senior citizen/disabled person low income tax credit receive a 50 percent reduction in their bill.

Commercial properties have several credits available.

Anyone with a question about their billing or believe there is some error, may request a review of the bill from the Island County Public Works Department at 360-679-7331 or visit www.islandcounty.net/ pulicworks/clean_water_ utility.

Coupeville School District Superintendent Patty Page, center, is resigning at the end of the school year and the search is starting to find a suitable replacement. To the left of Page is Janet Wodjenski and to the right is Carol Bishop.

Coupeville starts superintendent search

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

The search is on for a new superintendent.

The Coupeville School Board is scheduled to hire a consultant to find a replacement for Patty Page, who is resigning her position to become superintendent at the North Kitsap School District.

The special school board meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 28 in the Coupeville Elementary School Conference Room.

The school district sent a request for proposals for head hunting companies to seek out suitable candidates for the superintendent position. By the end of business Monday, two compa-

nies, Northwest Leadership Associates and McPherson and Jacobson, had submitted proposals. By the time Monday evening’s meeting began, board members hadn’t reviewed the proposals, but seemed impressed with the credentials of each company.

“I don’t think we could go wrong with either of these two companies,” Kathleen Anderson, school board president, said.

The school district is starting a superintendent search during a time when other school districts are wrapping up the hiring process to fill fall vacancies. Page said during the meeting that school districts in Meridian, Mount Baker and Olympia all recently named finalists for

their vacant superintendent spots. When Page was hired five years ago, the school district started searching in February and made a decision in May. Page, who wasn’t actively pursuing a new job, decided to apply for the North Kitsap position because it gave her a chance to move closer to her mother.

The school board discussed options for replacing Page, from hiring a permanent replacement to looking for an interim leader to hold the spot while a more indepth search is made.

“We’re going to miss her and she’ll be hard to replace,” Anderson said.

Board member Don Sherman thought it may be best to go with an interim

superintendent. Anderson said she contacted the Educational Service District, based in Anacortes, for names of possible interim superintendents. Interim spots are often filled by retired superintendents or assistant superintendents looking for more experience.

Anderson questioned whether an interim superintendent would be able to continue reaching the student achievement goals of the school district.

Sherman stressed that it’s important to take enough time to find the right person for the job. If an acceptable candidate isn’t found, then the school board should hire an interim superintendent to allow time to find a suitable replacement, he said.

Three-legged Boer goat cared for at liquor store

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Spring has sprung; the sun is shining and the animals have returned to the Coupeville Liquor Store.

In what is an annual event for the small contract liquor store, Heidi Castaneda of Calypso Farm located near Coupeville has a young goat and a lamb she is bottle feeding for a couple of weeks while she works at the store.

She is currently feeding a Boer goat, named Lego, and a Friesan Icelandic cross lamb named Lexington.

Lego is a leap goat born on Feb. 29.

The little goat was born missing one of its hind legs. Castaneda isn’t sure why Lego had the deformity, but he seems to be moving around just fine.

She works at the liquor store two days a week and bottle feeds the two animals between selling bottles of booze and answering customers’ questions. Visitors sometimes have a camera handy to snap a quick shot of the two animals hanging out inside the store.

“The customers love it so much.

They look forward to seeing what we bring here every spring,” Castaneda said.

The animals have a blanket and some hay behind the counter and a gate keeps them from wandering around the store.

Calypso Farm south of town raises sheep and goats for their milk along with ducks, geese and chickens for their eggs. Some springs, Casteneda will bring chickens, ducks and geese to the store to feed until they grow larger.

As for how long Lego and Lexington will stay at the Coupeville Liquor Store? The rule is simple.

“They’re here until they get into too much stuff,” Casteneda said.

However, their departure date is likely to be moved ahead. A lamancha goat Casteneda owns is expecting twins any day now. Once they’re born, Lego and Lexington will go home to make room for the two new additions.

Newcomer Blankenship questions port policies

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

After only two months in office, newly elected commissioner Laura Blankenship is wondering who has the power and authority at the Port of Coupeville.

A number of decisions have been made in recent weeks without a vote of the threemember board of commissioners.

“I’d like for us to be following the RCW and within the parameters of how a port should be operating,” Blankenship said last week.

During a recent meeting of the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville, she cited several instances where commissioners didn’t vote before a decision was made. Those instances include acquiring a dilapidated sail boat and comments the port’s executive director made to the media.

She said there doesn’t seem to be any resolution on file that delegates authority to make those decisions away from the elected board.

In the case of the sailboat, Jim Patton, executive director, said he kept the commissioners apprised of the situation and followed guidelines set forth by the state Department of Natural Resources. He said the boat was unsafe and he couldn’t wait for a monthly meeting to approve the port taking possession of the boat.

Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Port of Coupeville commissioners Benye Weber, Marshall Bronson and Laura Blankenship have spent time during recent meetings arguing about how decisions are made.

That way, the boat’s owner could move to a safer home.

The port later sold the boat through a bidding process.

Another decision Blankenship questioned concerned offering free moorage to the historic “tall ships” that visit each August. The port should have a policy setting guidelines where free moorage can be offered rather than deciding on a case-by-case basis.

“It seems to be prudent that we’re being fair and equita-

ble,” Blankenship said.

Patton said the port often offers free moorage to nonprofit groups that contribute to Coupeville’s economy and the board always makes the decision whether to waive the moorage fee.

Blankenship also questioned whether Patton, who is an hourly contractor, should be able to represent the port to the media. Her concerns came after she read comments Patton made to the Whidbey News-Times about a

February meeting regarding what he saw as Blankenship’s “antagonistic” behavior toward fellow commissioner Benye Weber.

“I think that was really inappropriate,” Blankenship said during the March 14 meeting. She said in an email to Patton and fellow commissioners that she reviewed the executive director’s contract and found it doesn’t mention that he should be the press contact.

Blankenship suggested

a meeting should take place on who should be the media representative for the Port of Coupeville. She suggested that one of the commissioners should be the press contact.

She hopes some of her issues will be placed on the agenda during an upcoming port meeting, which is scheduled for 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 11, at the Coupeville Public Library.

Senate CONTINUED FROM A1 Monday morning to announce that she will seek reelection.

The statement says she plans to make a formal announcement after the special session is over.

“I’m proud of the transportation budget we passed — on time and in a truly bipartisan manner — that creates 43,000 jobs across our state, which is what the people sent us here to do,” Haugen said in the press release.

“I’m still working on bills that I hope to pass before the special session ends, bills that are very important to the people in my district. Those are my priorities. There will be plenty of time to worry about elections once we’ve finished our work in Olympia.”

Tom Riggs, a Camano Island Democrat, has already announced that he will run for Bailey’s current House seat as state representative. Bailey said in an interview that a number of potential Republican candidates are also interested in the position.

Bailey said she’s happy about the shape of redistricting, which will likely made District 10 more conservative.

The district now extends farther into rural areas of Skagit County and urban areas of Mount Vernon.

“It’s a good fit,” she said. “We do a lot of work in Mount Vernon and Burlington already because many people who live in my district work there.”

Bailey said her campaign will focus on job creation, controlling government spending and improving public schools. She said state government can assist the private sector by creating a job-friendly tax structure, reduce costly and unnecessary regulations, and recruit new employers to the area.

Monday morning, Bailey’s son, Neil Floyd, and her husband, Butch Bailey, both introduced her.

“I believe with all my heart that God put her in that position because there was a need,” Butch said, “and she fulfilled that need.”

Butch emphasized his wife’s strong moral fiber and her spirituality. In a foreshadowing of the campaign to come, he said she would never impugn someone’s integrity or “go after” an individual’s character. He referred to her as “a little ball of fire, a little wad of energy.”

Man charged with abducting Freeland woman and child Suspect allegedly threatened to drive off bridge

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 22-year-old man accused of abducting a South Whidbey woman and her child from their home earlier this month has been charged with a long list of crimes, including kidnapping and rape.

Prosecutors charged George Downey, a Greenbank resident, in Island County Superior Court March 20 with two counts of first-degree kidnapping, one count of firstdegree rape with forcible compulsion, two counts of burglary in the first degree, a felony violation of a court order, a misdemeanor violation of a court order and assault in the fourth degree.

All the counts, except one burglary, were charged as domestic-violence related.

Downey is being held in Island County jail on $750,000 bail. If convicted of the charges against him, Downey could face more than 20 years in prison under the standard sentenc-

ing range.

Downey is accused of abducting his ex-girlfriend and her 4-year-old boy from their home on East Harbor Road near Freeland March 16. He raped the woman and threatened to kill himself and the victims by driving off Deception Pass Bridge, according to a deputy’s report on the incident.

About an hour after the abduction, deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office pulled over Downey’s Jeep on Highway 20 near Coupeville, saving the woman and child. Sheriff Mark Brown said the office was in the process of issuing an AMBER Alert — a child abduction broadcast — at the time of the arrest.

Deputy Dar ren Crownover wrote the probable cause narrative of the incident. At 10:42 a.m. on Friday, a 22-year-old woman called 911 to report that Downey, her ex-boyfriend, was at her home in violation of a restraining order. The woman screamed and then the phone went dead.

Crownover and two other deputies quickly arrived at the house, but nobody was there. The window on the front door was broken and

report states.

Downey drove north to Greenbank. He turned off Highway 525 and drove off the road and over a fence to a residence he claimed belonged to a friend. He took the woman to a bedroom where he raped her; he said he was angry because he thought she was seeing someone else and wanted to impregnate her, the deputy’s report alleges.

After ward, Downey returned the woman to the Jeep and continued driving north with her and the child.

He told the woman that “he was going to drive off the Coupeville Wharf and kill them all,” the report states.

But a short time later, the vehicle was pulled over by deputies.

In an interview at the jail, Downey admitted to the deputy that he broke into the house and took the woman and boy, Crownover wrote. Downey claimed he had consensual sex with the woman and that he was intending to turn himself in when he was stopped by deputies.

the door was ajar. The deputies went inside to check on the woman’s welfare and found blood on a banister and door.

Crownover noted in his report that he is familiar with the issues between Downey and his ex-girlfriend. He realized that the woman’s son was also missing. The deputies put out an “attempt to locate” on the woman and child, as well as Downey’s Jeep.

At 11:26 a.m., two deputies located and stopped the Jeep on Highway 20 at Jacobs Road.

During an interview with a detective, the woman explained that Downey broke into her house by breaking a window. She was hiding in the bathroom until Downey broke down a door.

She and her boy fled to a bedroom and hid in a closet, where Downey dragged her out by the hair while she was holding the child in her arms, according to the deputy’s report.

Downey took them to his vehicle and left at a high rate of speed while the child was unsecured. Downey told her that “he was going to drive them off the Deception Pass Bridge and kill them all,” the

Victim’s sister petitions court to make driver give DUI talks Sentencing is Friday for young defendant

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The sister of one of the three young men killed in a drinking-and-driving accident on South Whidbey last year wants the 18-year-old driver to give impact presentations aimed at preventing more victims in the future.

Brandi Porter started an online petition requesting that Kaylea Souza, the driver in the fatal accident, be required to tell her story to several groups of her peers after getting out of prison.

Porter is traveling from her home in California to present the petition to the judge at the sentencing hearing Friday, March 30, in Island County Superior Court.

Porter urges concerned folks to sign the Mack Porter Petition Against Drunk Driving online at www. ipetitions.com/petition/themack-porter-petition-againstdrunk-driving. More than 100 people have signed on so far, she said.

Porter’s brother, Charles “Mack” Porter III, was just 19 years old when he was killed in the Nov. 12, 2011 crash on Wilkinson Road. The other victims were 22-year-old Robert Knight and 20-yearold Marcel “Mick” Poynter.

Souza pleaded guilty last

week to three counts of vehicular homicide. She has admitted that she was driving while intoxicated from drinking malt liquor when she lost control and smashed her car into a tree. Passersby pulled her from the burning car, but the three passengers perished.

Under a plea bargain, the prosecution and defense will recommend that the judge sentence Souza to four and a half years in prison, which is near the bottom of the standard sentencing range for the most-serious, DUI-related prong of the charges.

Porter said she and other family members don’t feel the proposed sentence is nearly enough. But she believes some good can come out

of the tragedy if Souza talks about it to groups of people her own age.

The message would resonate more loudly with young drivers, she said, if it’s told by someone who has experience firsthand — and even caused ­— a tragedy by mixing drinking with driving.

“Why not pay your respects by helping other people and preventing something like this happening again?” she said. “I think she owes it to those boys and to us.”

Porter said speaking to groups may also help Souza come to terms with what she’s done.

“Hopefully by doing this she will have more understanding that this is way bigger than her,” she said.

Freeland attorney pleads guilty, assets will go to victims

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A former Freeland attorney pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to embezzling more than $1 million from his clients through a mail fraud scheme.

Peter Moote was charged earlier this month with mail fraud and was expected to plead guilty to the single count as part of a plea agreement. He’s agreed to pay

restitution to his victims and has cooperated with a receivership set up in Island County Superior Court to divide his assets among more than 30 victims.

Moote is scheduled to be sentenced June 22 before a U.S. District Court judge in Seattle.

Moote defrauded his clients from the 1990s through early 2011, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon.

He resigned in lieu of disbarment in 2010 after he was accused of stealing from clients.

Moote was a longtime civil attorney with an office in Freeland, representing clients in connection with personal injury, sexual harassment, discrimination, and other cases. He negotiated settlements for many clients — sometimes without the client’s knowledge — and received settlement checks

He embezzled from client settlement funds and used the money “to pay his personal living expenses, his family’s living expenses, law firm expenses, mortgage payments, and for gambling, among other things,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

While the press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office states Moote stole “more than $1 million,” docu-

ments in the receivership case show that claims total $4.5 million.

A detective with the Island County Sheriff’s Office started investigating Moote in 2010, but the case was then referred to the FBI. Attorneys from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Oregon are handling the prosecution because the office in Seattle has a conflict.

IN OUR OPINION

Small districts make big problems Island County Cemetery District 1 is just the latest example of how small taxing districts can have big problems that involve money, personalities and the future direction of a public entity.

The cemetery district, which runs Oak Harbor’s Maple Leaf Cemetery, caused a stir earlier this month when there long-time employees, including supervisor Michael Dougliss, were suspended without pay. One commissioner quit after an alleged minor physical altercation with Dougliss, while the other two, citing personnel matters, would not explain their action, instead saying an “investigation” would be conducted by an unspecified party into unspecified issues.

For his part, Dougliss has a long record of successfully overseeing and making improvements to the cemetery, and the endorsement of two highly respected members of the community, funeral home owner Gary Wallin and Sunnyside Cemetery volunteer Dale Sherman. Sherman pointed out that while all three suspended Maple Leaf Cemetery employees are related, it’s not uncommon for particular families to spend generations tending a cemetery. The Shermans have been leaders in Coupeville’s Sunnyside Cemetery upkeep for many decades.

Such disputes are not only unfortunate, they can be costly. If an attorney is brought in by Maple Leaf’s two remaining elected commissioners, for example, its $25,000 in annual tax revenue could be devoured in a hurry. And there is always the threat of a lawsuit to make matters even more financially scary.

Longtime islanders will recall many similar disputes involving small taxing districts, including Diking District 1 on North Whidbey, Diking District 4 on South Whidbey, and various water districts. Sometimes elected officials run into trouble because they’re not properly informed of the state open meetings and open records acts; other times conflicting personalities take a toll on the public purse.

In all cases, the elected people involved in the dispute should step back and coolly assess the situation and fully explain the issues to the public. No hiding behind erroneous interpretations of state law. Dougliss and the other suspended employees, for example, have a right to a public job performance review.

But the most important thing is to keep the public welfare foremost in mind, forget any personal hard feelings, and do the job for which you were elected with a minimum of conflict. Small taxing districts don’t need to be causing big problems.

Letters to the editor Blood donors come through

Thank you Oak Harbor blood donors, together saving lives! On Monday, Feb. 27, there were 86 volunteer blood donors registered, 76 pints of blood collected and nine firsttime donors. This was another amazing blood drive!

A huge thank you to all the donors for sharing your good health. Because 1 pint of blood can save up to three lives, approximately 228 patients will benefit from the donations at this blood drive.

Thank you to all the donors for taking time out of your day to help those in need. We appreciate you!

Thank you Brenda and Bill Cheaqui, Faye Kelly and all the Oak Harbor Lions, and the First United Methodist Church for your tremendous support with the blood drives here. Your dedication is greatly appreciated.

Your efforts and support to recruit donors will help

so many patients throughout Western Washington in need. Thank you to the Oak Harbor Lions for your thoughtfulness in having all the yummy refreshments are such a special treat. Thank you for allowing the Puget Sound Blood Center to come out to use your facilities and for providing a convenient place for donors to give the gift of life. We couldn’t do it without you!

I would like to give special thanks to all the donors for your ongoing patience in the donation process. The Oak Harbor Lions, First United Methodist Church and the Puget Sound Blood Center are trying to improve the donation process to accommodate donors with appointments and those who may walk in to this blood drive.

It seems that the extended hours for the blood drive seemed to help so we are going to continue to have the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Biking through Fort Ebey Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Redmond Resident Matt Lynch speeds through the trails at Fort Ebey State Park Sunday as he participates in the “Cookin’ the Kettles” bike race hosted by BuDu Racing and the Skagit Mountain Bicycle Club. He was one of 240 mountain bikers competing on a sixand-a-half mile loop through the trails of Central Whidbey.

Beginners completed one lap, sport riders completed two while expert riders completed three. Children 12 and under completed a three-and-ahalf mile loop. Many families camped at the park over the weekend, which added to the atmosphere. The race is part of the Singletrack Cycles, West Side Mountain Bike Series, which started in late February at Dash Point State Park and finishes April 11 at Fort Steilacoom. Lynch ended up winning first place in the expert category in the 40 to 49 age group.

Two buddies who served in the Army together in Iraq moved to Whidbey Island intending to help the grandmother of one of the men save her farm.

The two young men were unable to find jobs, however, and allegedly went on a crime spree instead. They stole mail, broke into cars, took credit cards and purchased items with the stolen plastic, court documents alleged.

James Jones, 23, of Freeland and 21-year-old Tyler Miller of Langley are each facing a long list of charges that could result in prison terms.

Prosecutors charged both men in Island County Superior Court with one count of identity theft, two counts of theft in the second degree, two counts of vehicle prowling, possession of stolen mail, two counts of possession of stolen property, malicious mischief in the third degree and theft in the third.

Jones and Miller both pleaded not guilty March 19.

Deputy Sean Warwick with

island scanner Oak Harbor Police Dept.

The following items were selected from reports made to the Oak Harbor Police Department:

Tuesday, March 20

Army buddies in Iraq find trouble on Whidbey Island the Island County Sheriff’s Office and Langley Police Officer Dave Marks arrested the men as they were driving in their truck on South Whidbey last December.

Warwick said in an interview that a spree of vehicle breakins last year ended with the arrests. He said the break-ins were expensive for the victims because the men usually broke windows to enter cars.

And yet, Warwick said many of the victims felt badly about the men’s arrest because they want to support the troops.

“I felt torn, too,” he said.

“I was in the military and I know it’s hard when you get out. But you can’t go around committing crimes.”

According to Warwick’s report on the incidents, the vehicle break-ins began in late November. In one case, a woman reported that her car was prowled after she parked at the Putney Woods Trail Head. Two of her credit cards were stolen and later used at three different Freeland businesses. One of the businesses provided the deputy with video of two men

using the cards. The clerk identified one of the men as Jones, the report states.

Responding to reports of a suspicious black truck, Warwick and Marks pulled over the men’s truck on Highway 525 on Dec. 21.

Miller told the deputy that he and Jones had served in the Army together from basic training until they were deployed to Iraq. They had been released from the military and moved to South Whidbey to save a farm belonging to Jones’ grandmother.

“Miller reported that they had been doing car prowls for about two weeks because they couldn’t find any jobs,” Warwick wrote in his report.

Miller admitted that there was stolen property in the truck. Warwick recovered stolen mail, checks belonging to a number of people, a laptop computer, a suitcase, speakers, a yellow ladder, a gift basket and other stolen items.

If convicted of the charges against them, both men would face from a year and five months to a year and 10 months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

More than a dozen Lions converged on the steps of the Island County Courthouse March 16 in Coupeville.

But rather than roar, the group gathered quietly around the flag pole to celebrate the raising of the official flag of Lions Club International.

Island County commissioners declared March 16 Annual Lions Day and representatives from the five Whidbey Island Lions Clubs were on hand for the brief ceremony.

Lions Zone Chairman Doug Tyler read the commissioners’ proclamation out loud, part of which stated the honor was an opportunity to recognize the contributions made not only on Whidbey by the Lions Clubs.

“We kind of get so involved in things locally that this reminds us of the Lions’ international impact,” said Tyler, whose home club is the North Whidbey Chapter. “We currently have chapters in 207 countries and territories.”

Coupeville wins 2; joins league leaders

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

A pair of wins lifted the Coupeville fastpitch team among the leaders of the Cascade Conerence.

The Wolves won 9-3 at Archbishop Murphy Friday and 12-7 at Sultan Monday.

Coupeville (3-1, 4-2), Granite Falls (2-0), Lakewood (2-1) and Cedarcrest (2-1) were bunched at the top of the league standings going into yesterday’s games.

Against Murphy (1-2), Ali Trumbull pitched a complete game, allowing only two earned runs while striking out eight.

Co-coach David King said “defensively this was our best game of the season” as the Wolves committed only two errors and turned two double plays.

Hailey Hammer finish-

ed with a double and four RBI, and Madi Roberts and Bree Messner each had two hits and a run batted in.

Against Sultan (0-3), Coupeville jumped to a 7-1 lead before a four-run fifth got the Turks (0-3) back in the game. The Wolves bounced back with their own four-run inning in the sixth to regain command.

McKayla Bailey earned the pitching win with the help of two innings of relief from Trumbull.

The Wolves finished with 13 hits, three from Sydney Aparicio. Roberts, Trumbull, Messner and Bessie Walstad each had two hits; Trumbull and Walstad rapped doubles.

Co-coach David King said, “Defensively we need to get better. We are allowing teams to stay in the games against us and giving them extra outs.”

Salmons led the Oak Harbor offense with two singles and a run.

Shawna Steele doubled and drove in a run, and Samm Zimmerman doubled.

Marissa Fakkema, Natalie Fiallos and Kelsey Rankin added singles.

Coach Jess Weikle said, “Though we lost today, we were proud of the girls’ willingness to fight to the end. We were especially proud of Natalie’s (Fiallos) base running in the last inning when she scored from first base on a ground ball to the third base.

Each day brings a new situation and the girls are learning how to overcome those challenging moments.”

The Wildcats (0-3, 2-5) play Meadowdale (1-2, 1-3) at Hillcrest Elementary School at 4 p.m. today.

Coach Paul Mendes said his team “played better defense” than in its last match and “played hard throughout.”

Coupeville (0-2, 1-2) goes to South Whidbey (2-0, 3-0) at 6 p.m. Friday.

Coupeville coach Willie Smith said, “We played our poorest game of the year…We committed six errors, five in the first three innings.”

The Wolves received 10 walks but mixed in only four hits, two each by Ben Etzell and Korbin Korzan. One of Etzell’s hits was a home run, and Korzan added an RBI. First-place Lakewood (6-0, 7-0) received a three-hitter from An-

Marysville Getchell, one of the preseason favorites to win the Wesco 3A soccer title, slipped by Oak Harbor 2-0 Friday at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

The Wildcats stayed within one goal until the 10th-ranked Chargers (4-0) tacked on a late score.

Oak Harbor coach Brian Thompson said, “We played another really good game. Our defense -Caley Powers, Isaiah Trower, Chase Muller and Ryan Gilman -- never stopped fighting and did not allow their very skilled forwards to get more than the two goals.”

Thompson said keeper “Kevin Silveira did great in the goal with six saves.”

He added, “All of our players are doing well and we are getting better with each game. The coaching staff is very proud of this team and we are very optimistic this season will end well.”

Artist joins Garry Oak Gallery Garry Oak Gallery in downtown Oak Harbor announces their newest artist, Kim Tinuviel.

Tinuviel’s artwork reflects the abstract textures and colors of her everyday world.

She artfully orchestrates a complex interplay of cameras, computers, traditional art-making processes and found objects to create her distinct imagery, and prefers to work in three dimensions, or expand the depth of her two-dimensional work.

Alternative surfaces and processes such as printing

ordinary.

In 2008, Tinuviel’s photographic work was first exhibited in a Whidbey Island group show called “MaKiDa: Lenses On The World.” In 2011, she was featured in the Albuquerque inaugural exhibit of a national 32-artist collaborative encaustic project tour called “Harmony.”

Since 1997, Tinuviel has lived in Langley.

Middle school band isn’t a low pressure, easy class as both middle schools proved when they performed at a statewide conference in front of hundreds of music educators and professionals.

Oak Harbor Middle School Symphonic Band, directed by Patrick Manuel, and North Whidbey Middle School Advanced Band, directed by Andrew Judd, performed at the Washington Music Educators Association conference in Yakima the weekend of Feb. 18 and 19.

OHMS held an evening performance and NWMS performed in the afternoon.

Bands must audition and be chosen for specific performances.

“The kids performed phenomenally,” Manuel said, adding that they handled themselves very well.

“I thought it was a really good experience because the audience isn’t just parents anymore. It’s more pressure,” said Suzanne Kaltenbach, an eighth-grade clarinet player in the OHMS Symphonic Band, which is the most advanced band at the middle school.

“It made us feel more like professionals than a middle school band,” said Kelly Findley, an eighth-grade alto saxophone player in the OHMS Symphonic Band. “And it makes us want to work harder to do it again.”

The fact that the band had to be invited to attend says a lot about the band, said Calib Byers, an eighth-grade percussion player.

“You get more confident every time you play,” Findley added.

The students performed in the Capital Theater, which Patricia Sablan, an eighth-

“It just made you feel closer to the music, like you’re in it,” Sablan added.

“I could definitely relate to these songs more. It’s hard to explain but you channel your emotion through your instrument,” Kaltenbach said.

“Honestly, I get goosebumps because I can feel that expression from them,” Sablan said.

“I can still play with a lot of emotion and I felt emotional playing it,” added trombone player Corbin Phipps, a seventh-grade student.

The students have been interested in or playing music since childhood. The Symphonic Band is only open to the best performing middle school students.

“We want to show the community it’s not all about sports; there are also arts,” said Austin Taylor, an eighth-grade clarinet player.

“A lot of people don’t realize music’s an art and there’s more than sports,” Kaltenbach added.

Taylor said he hopes younger students will be inspired by the band’s accomplishments and take up music themselves.

“I would really recommend kids to learn an instrument,” Sablan said, adding that music is a great means of self-expression.

“And hopefully they’ll have Mr. Manuel

because he’s a great teacher,” Taylor said.

He added that after students heard about their accomplishments in the National Band Festival in Anaheim, Calif. last year, he knew of some art students who switched to band.

“We hope to have the same impact again,” Taylor said.

“I hope our band program this year inspires other band classes --- sixth grade, seventh grade or high school,” Byers said.

Manuel’s band has a history of highquality performances. Since 2004, Manuel has taken his advanced band to the regional San Juan Music Educators Association competition and earned “superior” ratings every year, which is the highest honor a band can achieve at the competition. In 2010, the band also performed at the WMEA convention. Last year, the band raised $55,000 to perform at the National Band Festival in Anaheim, Calif., where they earned second place.

Manuel said these real-world experiences are vital to a well-rounded education, and the students agreed that the experiences have been meaningful.

“I hope that other bands years behind us will be able to experience the same thing because I thought it was a wonderful musical experience,” Kaltenbach said.

“Like Mr. Manuel said, it’s one of the most memorable things and we’ll never forget it,” Sablan said.

“The House Page Program is a window into the Legislature that just can’t be replicated in the classroom or online. It gives our young men and women a real and up-close look at our legislative processes,” said Bailey, R-Oak Harbor. “Hosting local students is always exciting for me each year. I enjoy hearing about their experiences and what they’ve learned. They bring an energy and enthusiasm to Olympia that is really appreciated.”

Out of the four HomeConnection students competing in National History Day, all four entries qualified for the state contest through the regional competition held March 10 at Western Washington University.

This year’s theme was “revolution, reaction and reform.” Students used primary and secondary research and interviews to create a 10-minute documentary, a 10-minute performance, a website, an exhibit or a historical paper. The project required hundreds of hours of work over the past six months.

The students competed against middle and high school students from Whatcom, Skagit, Island, San Juan and Snohomish counties.

The top two winners from each category advance to the state competition, which will be May 5 at Bellevue College.

HomeConnection was the only school with 100 percent of their students advancing to the state contest.

Megan Maronde, a 10thgrade student, won first place in Senior Individual Documentary for “The Eugenics Movement: Science Negatively Influencing Social Reform.”

This is her third year of participating in History Day. Connor Quijano, an 11th-

grade student, won first place for Senior Individual Website for “Equity vs. Equality: Women in U.S. Military Service Academies.” This is his second year doing History Day. First-year History Day student, sixth-grader Riley Grace Borden, earned first place for her Junior Individual Performance, “Indian Boarding Schools: A Revolution Without Guns.”

She was also honored with presenting her performance at the award ceremony.

Caitlin Maronde, a seventh-grade student and first-year History Day student, earned second place in Junior Individual Documentary for “Seattle’s Hooverville: A Precedent to Public Housing Reform.”
