Kwarsick’s Storm repairs Coupeville career unclear By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick admitted to falsifying public records in a court of law and a judge found him guilty of the crime, but elected officials in Coupeville are reserving judgement. Mayor Nancy Conard confirmed the town council has made no decisions yet about whether or not to continue Kwarsick’s employment as town planner, a position he has held for nearly 10 years. She has, however, requested copies of all court records and said she plans to examine them personally, and with the town’s legal counsel, Snohomish-based Weed, Graafstra and Benson, before bringing them to council members for review. “At some point in the near future, we will be meeting with the town council to discuss what we may do,” Conard said. Along with being mayor of Langley, Kwarsick has been Coupeville’s town planner since late 2003. It’s a part-time contracted position that pays $4,500 a month — $54,000 a year – with no benefits. Kwarsick also owns and operates a private planning firm, Sound Planning Services. Attempts to reach him for this story were not successful. Last week Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill sentenced Kwarsick to 15 days in jail and ordered him to pay a $2,500 fine after he plead guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge of falsifying a city record. Prior to being elected mayor of Langley last year, Kwarsick worked as the city’s planning director in 2011. Shortly after taking the job, he altered permit requirements for his daughters home but backdated them to appear as if they had been created by his predecessors. A plea deal worked out between Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks and Kwarsick’s attorney, Charles Arndt of Coupeville, recommended no jail time but that he pay a $2,500 fine. Churchill supported the fine but rejected the request for no jail time. The situation became more complicated Thursday when, in response to an outpouring of support by the Langley City Council and members of the community, Kwarsick announced in an email to the South Whidbey Record that he would not be stepping down as mayor.

Severe storm wallops wharf floats By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
A severe storm that hit Whidbey Island left Port of Coupeville officials scrambling to find someone to make repairs to a fuel float. The high tides and high-speed winds that marked the Dec. 17 storm caused the brackets on one of the two 40-foot, concrete fuel floats at the Coupeville Wharf to fail. Port staff was able to secure the float before it drifted away. Jim Patton, executive director for the Port of Coupeville, said the float was taken to Captain Coupe Park near the town’s wastewater treatment facility, where it could be pulled from the water. A work crew from Northwest Docks, a trailer and a crane, pulled the 13-ton float from the water Friday. It will be towed to Anacortes for repairs. Jim Guy, owner of Northwest Docks — the company the Port of Coupeville hired to make the repairs, noted it was a difficult time of the year to complete such repairs.
The windy condition makes it difficult for crews to work and the moisture makes it impossible for the epoxy to cure. Patton said he doesn’t yet know how long it will take for repairs to be made because of the holiday season. The fuel floats have failed several times in recent years, and they had been beached near the port office until repairs were made. The damage this time was more extensive. “These brackets are so far gone that they have to get ripped off and new ones put on again,” Patton said as a crane lifted the float out of the water.
The Dec. 17 storm battered low-lying areas of Whidbey Island that caused flooding in some areas of Island County. A renter of a West Beach Road home lost his possessions when the bulkhead protecting it failed and waves severely damaged the structure. Patton said winds reached 40 knots and the tides were 13 feet. The emergency repairs come weeks before the port will start looking for a company to construct and install replacement floats. Patton said the current floats have to be replaced because Penn Cove Shellfish uses the Coupeville Wharf to refuel its fleet.

Commissioners approves curbside recycling plan By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
A five-year discussion about curbside recycling for Island Disposal customers came to an end last week. On Thursday, the Island County Commissioners agreed in a 2-0 vote to move forward with the program, which will apply to everyone who subscribes to trash service in rural parts of Whidbey Island. Board members expressed concerns about well-tread issues, ranging from the mandatory elements of the program and the exclusion of glass to the quoted $11.60 per month cost, but ultimately decided that curbside recycling’s time had come. “Doing the right thing is not always the most convenient or the least expensive, but I believe that in the long run… (the benefits) far outweigh the cost to this community at large,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. “I think it’s time to put our foot forward and I’m willing to pay for it,” Commissioner Angie Homola said. Commissioner Kelly Emerson was in attendance but abstained on the basis that the majority of her district is on Camano Island where residents already have curbside service through another hauler. The vote followed a public
hearing that was attended by about 25 people. The crowd appeared equally mixed with supporters and critics and people took turns at the microphone expressing their opinions. Many of the naysayers said they were avid recyclers but didn’t like various aspects of the program. One of the more common gripes, and one of the primary reasons a nearly identical program pitched in 2007 did not move forward, was that Island Disposal is requiring it be mandatory for all of its customers. Jennifer Lesko said she is a regular recycler, but the every-other-week service will cost her an extra $140 a year – the final cost has yet to be determined – and that’s money she can’t afford. To get out of paying the fee, she said she will likely cancel her service and self haul. “It makes me feel poorer than I am that I actually have to do this,” Lesko said. Similarly, Island Recycling owner David Campbell said he was not against the idea of a curbside program. In fact, he called himself a recycling “wacko” who’s been doing it religiously for 40 years. Like Lesko, he said his customers commonly complain that they will quit their garbage service and self-haul because they don’t want to pay the extra fee, especially when glass will not be ac-
cepted. He and several others, such as Central Whidbey resident Bill Bradkin, expressed skepticism about recycling statistics and the expected results of an implemented curbside service. Yet, there were many others at the meeting who testified passionately in favor of the program. Coupeville resident Gary Piazzon, an outspoken advocate for the environment, talked about the United States’ role in global warming and the need to take action. “If we can reduce our carbon dioxide emissions… we’re going to do a great deal for our future and our kids’ futures,” Piazzon said. Coupeville resident Cathy d’Almeida said this was the first place she’d lived in 20 years that didn’t offer curbside recycling, a fact she said was “appalling.” She was not alone. Several others called it “shocking” and “embarrassing.” But many more said the time for discussing the issue and trying to find a perfect program had come to an end. “It’s time we stop kicking this can down the road,” said Bob Walters, a Langley resident. “We’ve been doing this for years.” Ken Kovalenko, district manager for Waste Connections, parent company of Island Disposal, also addressed the crowd. He pointed out

Coupeville resident Gary Piazzon speaks to the Island County Commissioners about a curbside recycling program Thursday in Coupeville. The program was adopted. that while his firm is the franchised hauler for Whidbey Island, they are a private business and a curbside service is something of a financial gamble. “I know I’ll lose customers, but I’m willing to take that risk because I believe it’s the right thing to do,” Kovalenko said. He also debunked a claim that the company will have to run “loose” or un-compacted loads of recyclables to offisland facilities. Kovalenko said the recyclables Island Disposal does handle now are bailed at a facility just South of Coupeville. After hearing more than
one hour of public testimony, the board moved forward with little discussion. Both Homola and Price Johnson acknowledged the shortcomings of the program, but were resolute in moving forward. Homola said she’d been taught long ago that when “you soil your nest, you clean it,” and while she will be out of a job by the end of the month, she is ready to pay more each month to do her part in reducing carbon emissions. “I’m willing to do that because I think it’s that important,” Homola said. Price Johnson said she wrestled with the decision but
ultimately believed the curbside program is in the best interest of Island County and its residents. She ended with a quote from a constituent. “There is nothing more conservative than conserving resources,” she said. “It’s a clear winner economically and environmentally.” The board’s decision requires Island Disposal to launch the service within one year. The hauler will submit a proposal to state regulators and a final cost will be then be determined. Kovalenko could not provide a start date but did say he hopes to start before Christmas of 2013.

law and boot the embattled mayor out his jobs in Langley and Coupeville. In a news release, Banks alleged the plea agreement was predicated on the “unmistakable understanding” that he step down from both positions. Conard, who on Wednesday declined to comment
on the initial court ruling or Kwarsick’s performance as a town employee, could not be reached by press time following the development. According to town councilman and mayor pro-tem Bob Clay, Kwarsick did infom the council about what was happening in an executive session earlier this

month, before the court ruling. However, Clay said he still felt very uneducated on the facts of the case and was wanted to wait to see the court records and hear from the town’s attorney’s before making any conclusions. “You should expect real solid opinions from elected officials, but I’m going to waffle on this,” Clay said. He did say he was a little confused about the definition of public office, saying he understood that to mean
an elected position, so why would a contracted employee for Coupeville be required to step down? He also noted that the crime occurred in Langley, another municipality, which could complicate the town’s decision. That’s not to say, however, that it’s a none issue, he said. “Our concern would be, does it affect his integrity as a planner,” Clay said. “I just don’t know what to think until I see the information,” he said.

Coupeville classes help adults expand education By Kathy Reed Staff Reporter
It’s never too late to learn or to share what you know. That’s the philosophy behind the Coupeville Community Education program. The school district offers classes for youth and adults three times a year, and the winter session is starting up in January. “Our goal is to try to find something for everyone,” said CCE coordinator Kim Andrews. “The community brings us lots of ideas.” Of course, to offer a class there needs to be an instructor. Andrews said they would love to build up the number of instructors available to offer a class and is always looking for new ideas and new courses to offer. “The program is really great,” she said. “People come in and get to teach what they love, what they know.” CCE classes run the gamut. There are usually several different fitness classes to
choose from, but there are a variety of others. For example, the upcoming winter session will offer a class on the history of Ebey’s Landing, a beginning drawing class, a guide to creative photography and a marketing class. “Fitness is always very popular,” Andrews said. The winter session will offer Zumba, Razzle Dance Fitness, Yolates and Our Yoga. Adult volleyball classes are offered through South Whidbey Parks and Recreation as is a ski and snowboard bus for youth and adults. Youth classes include first aid and CPR, drawing, babysitting and the Leo Club, which meets at Coupeville High School and is supervised by the Coupeville Lions Club. “The babysitting and CPR classes are very popular,” Andrews said. Registration is easy. The form is available online at coupeville.k12.wa.us and can be mailed to Coupeville Community Education-
Coupeville School District, 2 South Main St., Coupeville, WA, 98239. Forms must be received one week before the start of a class to ensure there are enough participants. The cost of each class varies. Andrews said she would love to offer an introductory language class for travel purposes, for example, as well as classes in cooking, bird watching, technology, art, health or genealogy. Anyone who thinks they may be able to teach a series of classes on a particular subject is welcome to contact Andrews. She said she would work with potential instructors to structure a class and offer recommendations. One does not need to live within the Coupeville School District to teach or take a CCE class. Some online training is required of instructors. “Anyone interested in teaching an adult class can fill out a proposal and share their idea, and I’ll help build them a class.”

Razzle Dance classes are a popular fitness class offered through Coupeville Community Education. The winter session will be starting soon. Instructors typically receive a portion of the class fee, although each class is unique. Andrews encourages people to keep the classes affordable. “It’s a challenge to find
interesting classes that people want to sign up for,” she said. “But I know there’s a lot of talent in the community. “I encourage people to try something new,” An-
drews continued. “Support these instructors who are going to the trouble to share their time and talent. If you see something that looks interesting, sign up — it might not happen again.”
Suspected Ebey Bowl burglar pleads guilty to trespassing By Jessie Stensland Staff Reporter
A 34-year-old Oak Harbor man suspected of burglarizing the Ebey Bowl in Coupeville with his girlfriend was recently sentenced to jail. Jason M. Bowen pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court Dec. 17 to criminal trespass in the first degree, theft in the third de-
gree and escape from community custody. Deputy Prosecutor David Carman said in court Monday that Bowen was originally charged with burglary, but the prosecution had “proof problems” with the evidence. In addition, Carman said Bowen’s co-defendant, 23-year-old Jasmine Seaward, has disappeared and he was relying on her testi-
mony. She didn’t appear for a Nov. 5 hearing and is currently wanted on a warrant. Judge Vickie Churchill followed the recommendation worked out in the plea bargain and sentenced Bowen to two months in jail. She also ordered him to pay restitution to the Ebey Bowl. The burglary at the bowling alley on Terry Road was reported on May 29. A dep-
uty found a back door had been forced open. Stolen items included beer, liquor, candy, a laptop computer and hundreds of dollars. A detective with the Island County Sheriff’s Office identified the two suspects through surveillance video. Bowen was in community custody, which is basically probation, at the time of the burglaries. Detectives sent out a press release asking the
public for help locating him after the burlary. Bowen’s criminal history
includes a 1999 bank robbery conviction, according to court records.

Don’t let pension be tainted by gun funds Editor, I am absolutely horrified to find that a portion of my teacher’s retirement funds each month have been from investments in a company that specializes in the production and sales of assault guns. California State Teacher’s Retirement System invested in this company for me and my fellow retirees benefit. I was ignorant about their purchase. Numerous mass shootings have occurred with these guns in recent months and now one has been used to slaughter innocent children and teachers in their school and classrooms. What have my retirement system people been thinking? Are there no limits to our society’s desire to place money and profit above morality and life? I immediately contacted my retirement system to cease and desist from this incomprehensible investing of funds provided by teachers who actively spend their lives keeping their classes safe and who value the children above and beyond income, caring teachers who pledge their lives to the avoidance of evil’s intrusion in the children’s lives. Since the value of the assault gun investments will go down, these representative investors will undoubtedly leave the sinking ship. My hopes are that they will be morally sensitive to where these funds are next invested. If your pension is with California State Teacher’s Retirement System, please let them know that you don’t want your monthly income tainted with their lack of sensitivity to the values of the people who contributed these funds. Ask them to use responsible thinking before they invest. I feel like I’ve been getting monthly blood money since I got this information. If you get your retirement through that system, write up or speak up now before the funds are reinvested.

Move if you don’t like the sound of freedom Editor, I read with much frustration the article concerning the petition to close the Naval Outlying Field south of Coupeville. I am always amazed at the folks who visit the island, love it here, move here and then try to change it. When I built my home in 1984 one mile east of the OLF, I knew I was in the noise zone. I accepted that fact as condition of realizing my dream of owning my own home of 5 acres on beautiful Whidbey Island. For
me, it was a small price to pay for the freedoms I enjoy. Most of you folks that sign that petition had that same freedom to purchase or not to purchase, build or not build your home in the noise zone. I know you have to sign a noise disclosure form when you buy property in that area stating that you are fully aware of the noise issues. I’m sorry that things didn’t turn out the way you thought they would, but I totally agree with Marilyn Engle, enough is enough. If the sound of freedom is too much, move.

Let’s be effective with how we’re recycling Editor, I am currently a resident of Island County and fully support curbside recycling. I believe that this will be beneficial to customers and our environment. Curbside pick-up will ultimately encourage more recycling participation. For 15 years we lived in Whatcom County and they have a very successful recycling program. Their system sorts most effectively because the trucks are divided into three sections to match the three recycling bins each customer uses. Each customer has three stackable crates (white for paper, red for newspaper, blue for bottles/cans/ glass) and when the recycling truck comes, the worker simply dumps each crate into the corresponding section of the truck. The worker quickly sorts on the curb by tossing each crate into one of the three different sections of the recycling truck. White bin goes into one section of the truck, blue bin gets tossed into the next section, red goes into red compartment. This would save so much time sorting. That saves costs and time. Yes, you would need sectioned trucks and crates, but I think in the long run that is the way to go. I have not heard Island County speak of this type of sorting system. Currently, all recyclables go into one tote and then has to be sorted. The time that sorting every item takes is pure insanity. Why not sort right when the items are collected? Please consider this approach. Please ask Whatcom County questions and research how they got started with this sorting system. The Whatcom County company is called Sanitary Service Company — www. ssc-inc.com/. The system in Whatcom County has high participation and is extremely successful. Let’s follow people who are doing it efficiently. Let’s do recycling well and be effective with our resources!

Options for Parker Road being debated By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
About 50 residents, transportation officials and community leaders discussed options being considered to alter several intersections on Highway 20 between Island Transit’s headquarters and Outlying Field. The Washington State Department of Transportation came up with a list of eight options to alter the intersections around Old Smith Prairie, Parker and Morris roads, which is also the area Island Transit wants to place a secondary access to its new headquarters that is currently under construction. The options stem from concerns residents had about Island Transit’s plans to alter the intersections in the area to make room for a secondary access. Residents were concerned the alterations would make the area more hazardous for drivers. “I’m pretty sure the highway department has listened,” said Bob Clay, Coupeville town councilman and Island Transit board member. He recognized the difficulty in coming up with a plan that meets everybody’s needs. From January 2005 to April 2012, 42 collisions have taken place on Highway 20 from Jacobs Road to Morris Road. Of that amount, 11 accidents have happened at Morris Road and two at Old Smith Prairie Road. The Dec. 13 presentation

Joe Sheldon and Louise Harvey talk with Todd Carlson, planning and development services director for the Washington State Department of Transportation, about one of the options concerning Highway 20 and the intersection with Parker, Morris and Old Smith Prairie roads. is a followup from a meeting that took place in August. Transportation officials organized the meeting to get comments from residents about the options being considered. Transportation officials noted that funding isn’t available to complete the projects. Those options include: • Re-align Parker Road and add new left turn lanes on Highway 20 at Morris Road and the new Parker Road. Close the intersection at Old Smith Prairie Road and install Island Transit’s
secondary access. Estimates range between $2 million and $2.9 million. • Aligning Parker Road to Morris Road while closing the intersections of Parker and Old Smith Prairie roads and install left turn lanes while providing Island Transit secondary access. Estimates place the cost between $1.8 million and $2.6 million. • Aligning Morris Road to Parker Road while closing the intersections at Morris and Old Smith Prairie roads and install left turn lanes while providing Island Tran-
Aggressive dogs euthanized Friday By Jessie Stensland Staff Reporter
Island County’s animal control officer tracked down a man who abandoned two aggressive dogs that attacked hikers at Fort Ebey State Park earlier this month. Carol Barnes was able to catch the dogs last Saturday after a full-scale dog hunt in the West Beach neighborhood. Barnes said a tip from a family member led to the Oak Harbor resident who admitted to abandoning the mutts. She said she plans to

file charges against him. According to Barnes, the man and his fiancee said they felt they had to get rid of the dogs because they were aggressive and they were worried about the safety of their baby. The German shepherd/ pitbull mixes are litter mates. The dogs had attacked a neighbor. In addition, the male dog had injured the couple’s newborn by placing put his paw on the baby’s chest in a dominance display, causing bruising and other injuries. The man told animal con-

Instead, the couple loaded up the dogs into a vehicle, drove to Fort Ebey State Park and left them and a bag of dog food just before midnight on Monday, Dec. 10. The next day, the dogs attacked two hikers on a trail in the park, prompting park rangers to close the area. One of the hikers had to get stitches for a bite wound. The dogs were released into the custody of the owner and euthanized Friday.

sit’s secondary access. Estimates place the cost between $2 million to $2.9 million. The first three options incorporate Island Transit’s need for a secondary access to its facility. • Add a left turn lane at the existing Island Transit entrance on Highway 20. Safety improvements at the Morris and Parker roads intersection would still have to move forward and doesn’t address Island Transit’s need for a secondary access. Costs for the option ranges from $1.4 million to $2 million, but
doesn’t include the costs for improvements at Parker and Morris roads. Todd Harrison, assistant regional administrator for the department of transportation, also presented four additional options that he described as low on the feasibility scale. Two of those options considered purchasing the private Plum Creek Road and establishing a right of way through the transfer station. However, county officialssaid they wouldn’t want traffic going through the facility,
the department of transportation would have to contend with conservation easements and it doesn’t address Island Transit’s needs. Harrison said the costs concerning the Plum Creek Road options were unknown. The department of transportation showed two options for roundabouts, but those were costly and still didn’t meet Island Transit’s need for a secondary access. Thursday’s meeting stemmed from the transit agency’s original plan to install a secondary access, close the intersections of Old Smith Prairie and Morris roads and install a new intersection between the two. A public meeting concerning the area last took place in August. Martha Rose, executive director for Island Transit, said the secondary access is a requirement for the occupancy permit. The department of transportation originally had funding to install left turn lanes from Highway 20 to the county’s solid waste transfer station, which is a higher priority project. However, the department of transportation was able to obtain an additional $1.5 million to address problems at the intersections near Outlying Field.

Surprise wetlands to delay trail work By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
An unexpected discovery has driven up the cost of Freeland Trail and will likely delay the project’s completion, Island County officials said last week. Public Works Director Bill Oakes alerted the Board of Commissioners last Wednesday that a wetland had been identified on the northern section of the planned path along Highway 525. It was not only a surprise for project planners, but it will also affect the total price tag and the project’s timeline. “It’s caused extra work both in design and (wetland) mitigation,” Oakes said. The trail, which will mirror paved paths such as Rhododendron and Kettles Trail on Central Whidbey, will stretch about one mile through Freeland, from the intersection at Main Street to Bush Point Road. They are all part of a larger and long-range county parks plan to build a trail system that snakes along the state highway from Deception Pass to the Mukilteo
sign and permitting modifications. Oakes requested an approximately $37,000 amendment to Otak’s contract to address the changes. The increase, which was approved by the board Monday, raises the maximum contract amount to $165,000. Oakes said the inadvertent discovery will require the construction of a trestle that spans the development sensitive area. Those costs have yet to be determined, but it will likely push back the completion date. According to Oakes, the entire project is expected to run about $1 million. About $800,000 of the tab will be covered with federal grants and the remainder with county road funds. While only about $600,000 of the federal funds have been acquired, Oakes said he plans to have the rest secured in time for construction on phase one to begin this summer. The hope is that the wetland mitigation planning will be completed in time for construction of both phases to be seamless but there is a good chance phase two will be delayed.

Plans to build Freeland Trail, a paved path like Rhododendron Trail on Central Whidbey, suffered a hiccup recently with the discovery of an unknown wetland along the proposed route. ferry dock. Segments are to be completed as funding becomes available. As for the latest portion in Freeland, the trail is planned to run along the south side
of the highway, providing a pedestrian pathway through town and to an Island Transit park and ride lot planned at the intersection at Bush Point Road. The surprise wetland
is located in the fields across the highway from Nichol’s Brothers Boat Builders and has forced the project to be divided into two phases, Oakes said. It’s ju 19.50/yst on-Isla ear nd $ 23/y & off-Islaear nd!

Longhouse, carousel win top prizes in 2012 gingerbread contest Students from the Whidbey Island Christian School earned a top prize in this year’s Gingerbread Challenge, sponsored by The Whidbey Examiner. The entry, “Native Indians of Whidbey Island Longhouse on the Beach,” won the People’s Choice prize in the group category. Teacher Marie Thornton said the students visited the Island County Historical Museum to learn about native tribes before they designed and built their elaborate gingerbread longhouse,
complete with decorated gingerbread canoes, campfires with candy-corn flames, and tiny Swedish-fish salmon drying on racks fashioned from pretzel sticks. A most awesome entry, indeed! The People’s Choice prize in the individual category went to Richelle Stoufer and her entry, “Christmas Carousel,” which featured animal crackers mounted on pretzel sticks around a colorful carousel topped with snowy frosting and lots of colorful candy decorations.
This gingerbread tractor at “Sweet Treat Farm” was pulling a cart filled with Rockwell beans from Ebey’s Prairie. The two People’s Choice winners each receive a $20
gift certificate to The Honey Bear, Coupeville’s favorite
gift, toy and candy shop. Many entries won praise from the judges. “Farm in Winter” by Phoenix Lester was honored as the sweetest farmyard scene. “A Christmas Welcome” by Holly Stoufer was deemed most heartwarming. “Gingerbread Christmas Cottage” by Alex Otto had the most awesome roof tiles. “Santa’s Love Shack” by Sabrina Hickam was described as the most intriguing. “Sweet Treat Farm: Eat Local,” created by Prairie Bottom Farm, had the best
Whidbey flavor. “Village of People” by Savina Wells had the best use of unusual building materials. “Winter Wonderland Cabin” by Shannon Bly had the best trees. “Celebrating Community” by Maya Toomey Stout had the best Christmas spirit. And “Whidbey Farmhouse” by Tia and Sebastian Wurzrainer had the entry with the best snow. Thank you to everyone for participating, and we look forward to seeing even more wonderful entries next year!

improperly withheld wages, declaratory judgment and permanent injunction. Plaintiffs include the guild and four deputies. Kitsap attorneys also will represent the county with interest arbitration for the guild’s contract. Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow said the money to pay for the contract will come from the county’s fund balance, a pot of money used to cover unexpected and unavoidable expenses. Commissioner Angie Homola said she believes hiring the Kitsap team was a good solution, but that she was “sorry we’re here to begin with.” “I’d rather spend the money on staff than on silly things like this,” Homola said.

To save a few dollars and avoid any possible conflicts of interest, Island County will hire the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office to address two recent lawsuits brought on by sheriff’s deputies. The Island County commissioners agreed to pay $120 per hour for the service. Prosecutor Greg Banks requested the arrangement because the suits are being brought by law enforcement officers that he works with on a regular basis. Banks noted that Kitsap has experience in such matters, retaining a specialized labor law unit, and the hourly rate is a good deal. Private firms typically charge $300 or more. The Island County Sheriff’s Guild filed a complaint against the county in November for contempt, declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. The guild claimed the county blocked arbitration and violated the state’s Open Public Records Act. A second suit was filed later that same month for

Wolves reverse 4th-quarter follies, bury Vikings By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
After letting the games at Sultan Tuesday, Dec. 18, and Friday Harbor Thursday, Dec. 20, slip away in the fourth quarter, the Coupeville High School girls basketball team wasn’t about to let it happen again. The Wolves used a 19-0 run in the second half to defeat visiting Orcas Island 39-31 Saturday. Coupeville and Orcas Island (3-2) took turns controlling the quarters; the Wolves’ total domination of the fourth was the difference. The Vikings took charge early, going up 14-4. The second quarter belonged to Coupeville as it out scored Orcas Island 10-2, making it 16-14, Vikings, at the break. The third was Orcas’ turn and it upped its lead to 27-20 going into the fourth period. The fourth was all Coupeville as the Wolves out scored the Vikings 19-4 to reverse the trend of recent fourthquarter melt downs. Breeanna Messner led the final-frame assault with 10 of her 12 points. She hit a pair of threes and pulled in several key offensive rebounds during the run, according to coach David King. Bessie Walstad helped fuel the spurt
with a block that led to a fastbreak lay-in that ignited the Coupeville offense. Walstad finished with 12 points and six rebounds, Hailey Hammer had seven points, Makana Stone four, Rhiannon Ellsworth two and Haley Marx two. King said, “It took us to the middle of the third quarter to get back to playing basketball.” He said the Wolves were playing hard early but kept misfiring on good shots in the lane. “We preach to the kids that defense is the key,” King said. “When we make stops it helps us get out and run.” Sultan outscored Coupeville 13-7 down the stretch to eke out a 30-27 win after trailing 20-17 early in the fourth quarter. The Wolves had a chance to tie it at the end. On an inbounds play from half court with 3.9 seconds left, Lauren Escalle’s three-point shot was tipped and Sultan escaped. The first quarter belonged to Coupeville, the second to the Turks. Hammer scored twice to help the Wolves lead 8-2 after the first period. Coupeville’s fast break was creating scoring opportunities and the damage could have been
greater but “the ball wouldn’t fall” on some chances, according to King. Sultan (2-2, 2-7) did one (or two) better in the second quarter, out scoring Coupeville 8-0. King said, “Our defense wasn’t there like it had been earlier in the game and we were out of rhythm in our offense.” He added, “Sultan didn’t come at us with much pressure from the defensive end, we just didn’t allow ourselves to be patient on offense, and when we got open shots we rushed them. Many times it was a one and done; we weren’t aggressive at going after offensive rebounds.” After trading dominating quarters, things evened out in the third. With six points coming from Walstad, Coupeville entered the final period up 18-17. Walstad finished with eight points, Stone seven, Hammer four, Amanda Fabrizi four, Escalle two and Messner two. Stone had six rebounds and Messner five. King said, “Overall, we just didn’t come ready to play and go home with a win. We played hard, but our energy level wasn’t used at times in the right places. We are young and it showed in the game.”

Friday Harbor (1-5) claimed its first win of the season 34-23 by blanking sluggish Coupeville in the fourth quarter. The game was close until the fourth period as the Wolverines led 13-12, 18-15 and 24-23 at the quarters. King said, “In the fourth
we came out flat at both ends of the court and didn’t score a point.” He added, “Defense wasn’t there like it was our first six games. And offensively we slowed things down and played passive basketball.” Walstad and Hammer led
the Wolves with seven points each. Stone scored four, Escalle three and Jai’Lysa Hoskins two. Coupeville (2-2, 4-5) gets back into Cascade Conference play at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2, when first-place Archbishop Murphy (4-0, 6-1) comes to town.
Latest loss may be most bitter for CHS boys By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
The Coupeville High School boys basketball team lost at home to Sultan Tuesday, Dec. 18, and at Friday Harbor Thursday, Dec. 20, but the loss at home to Orcas Island Saturday may be the most bitter. The Vikings defeated Coupeville 66-61 in an oddly officiated game, and the passionate Coupeville crowd let the referees know. The Wolves were whistled for 31 fouls to the Vikings’ 13. That resulted in a 23-for-28 night at the line for Orcas Island to just 6-for10 for Coupeville. A Viking player took a swing (and missed) at a Wolf and was not ejected, according to coach Anthony Smith. Another received two technical fouls and was not ejected. Smith said, “I don’t like to blame officials, but it was a differently called game. There was no rhythm; every five seconds there was a call.” One Coupeville player, Nick Streubel, fouled out and four others finished with four fouls. Monitoring the foul situation also kept the Wolves from finding a rhythm, Smith said. Coupeville played well early, running to leads of 21-14 after the first-quarter quarter and 32-28 at the half. The third quarter was the turning point as the Vikings (3-1) out scored Coupeville 25-13 and took a 53-45 margin into the fourth. Smith said, “We couldn’t do anything in the third quarter.” Scoring, for once, wasn’t a problem for
Coupeville as it doubled its usual per game average. Aaron Curtin led the way with 12 points, Ben Etzell had 10, Drew Chan nine, Streubel eight, Aaron Trumbull seven, Carson Risner six, Caleb Valko five, Morgan Payne two and Anthony Bergeron two. Jack Gates piled up 36 points for Orcas Island and Jake Zier had 21. The 61-point effort kept Coupeville in the game, and, for once, it wasn’t a lopsided loss. The moral victory, however, was tainted by the atmosphere of the game. Smith said, “This one will stick with me for a few days.” In the 52-16 loss to Sultan, Smith said his team’s field goal percentage was “bad.” Smith, who did not have the official statistics available, said, “We were 4-for-20-something, or maybe 4-for-30-something.” What ever the total, it wasn’t nearly good enough as the Wolves failed to score more than six points in a quarter. After a decent start -- the two teams were tied at six after the first quarter -- things started to turn for the worse for the Wolves as the game progressed. Smith said although his club scored only four points in the second quarter, it played well and would have gone into the locker room down by only eight but a Turk drilled a three at the buzzer. Down 21-10 John Fisken photo at the break, the Wolves fell behind Left: Caleb Valko 36-14 heading into snares a rebound for the fourth quarter. the Wolves.
Smith called the game “frustrating,” and added, “You have to take little victories.” He cited the final quarter of the previous game with South Whidbey and the first two against Sultan as positives: “We have to build on that and believe.” The Wolves played good half-court defense against the Turks, but the offense, through the lack of execution and off-mark shots, couldn’t keep pace, Smith said. He added that the Wolves still struggle in transition defense. Trumbull and Streubel each scored six points for Coupeville; Valko had four. A dismal second half led to a 68-27 loss at Friday Harbor as the Wolverines outscored the Wolves 30-6 after the break to claim the non-conference win. Smith said, “They were way more aggressive than we were.” He noted that cold shooting wasn’t the only problem, as turnovers again haunted his club. In reference to the mistakes, he said, “I don’t even want to go there.” One positive, Smith said, was a more consistent half-court defense. Friday Harbor (3-3) led 16-6, 33-21 and 4824 at the quarters. Etzell scored 11 points; Streubel, Trumbull and Valko scored four each; and Josh Wiley and Chan had two apiece. Coupeville (0-4, 0-9) goes to Everett to face Archbishop Murphy (2-2, 2-3) at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2.
