Blaze damages Oak Harbor condominium

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

An unattended kitchen fire nearly destroyed a condominium in Oak Harbor Wednesday.

Oak Harbor Fire Department Chief Ray Merrill said the incident was reported by a 911 caller at about 2:30 p.m. and occurred at the Courtyard Condominium complex off Southeast Eighth Avenue.

Firefighters arrived within a few minutes and found smoke pouring from the building.

Teams entered the structure and found the fire had begun in the kitchen, but had

spread into the attic.

“The guys did a quick attack” and were able to snuff out the flames before the blaze grew too large to contain, Merrill said.

One fire engine and one ladder truck were sent to combat the blaze but the department also received assistance from Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services, the chief said.

“As usual, they supplied an engine and did an excellent job,” Merrill said.

Two people were home at the time and both were evacuated safely but, the structure sustained up to $15,000 in damages.

Roof rafters will need replacing and

there was light smoke damage throughout the building.

Merrill said the fire was the result of grease that was left in a pan on the stove.

Unattended, the grease ignited and the flames traveled up the stove’s vent to the attic.

Merril credited his firefighters with a lighting-fast response and for their quick work in extinguishing the flames.

The fire was contained and caused moderate damage to the building but it had the potential to be much worse, he said.

The fire resulted in the closure of Southeast Glencoe Street for about an hour.

Go fish!

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley will get the chance to appoint two new members to the city’s marina committee after all.

An unlikely controversy about the volunteer, advisory committee seemed to end Tuesday night when the City Council voted down Dudley’s request to increase the com- Skinner mittee’s size from five members to seven.

The next morning, though, Dudley kicked off the committee’s current chairman, attorney Chris Skinner.

Another member of the committee Dudley said he plans to resign soon, according to Dudley.

The mayor said he will now “reach out” to find two potential candidates and hopes to bring the appointments to the council in May. He said he doesn’t have anyone in mind.

Meanwhile, Skinner said the issue, which he described as a “tempest in a tea top,” is another example of See DUDLEY, A3

State fish hatchery specialist Will Irwin holds his ground while rainbow trout are dumped into Deer Lake in Clinton Thursday morning, April 18.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife stocked the lake Thursday, after planting 3,500 catchables there the day before.

Wildlife stocks lakes for opener

By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

Steve Stansberry hadn’t heard that one of his favorite lakes on Whidbey Island was getting a bonus planting of large trout this month.

Deer lake near Clinton was scheduled to receive 204 triploids in April in addition to the usual thousands of smaller trout.

“Oh, that’ll be nice,” said Stansberry, a retired educator who lives in Clinton. “That’ll

give the grandkids an eye opener if they get a hold of that.”

Stocking day arrived Thursday morning when two trucks from the Department of Fish and Wildlife backed up to the lake’s northwestern shore and poured thousands of fish into the water.

DEER LAKE received roughly 8,000 “catchable-size” rainbow trout this week, plus a bonus

of the 204 jump triploids, which average 1.5 pounds apiece.

It will be one of the more intriguing options for anglers on Whidbey Island on April 27, which is opening day for the state’s general lowland lakes.

“It will be exciting for sure,” said Justin Spinelli, a regional fish biologist for the state See FISH, A2

Man accused of threatening smoker charged A Coupeville man is accused of pointing a handgun at a fellow passenger’s chest while waiting in line at the Clinton ferry dock, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged Randolph C. Coyne in Island County Superior Court April 16 with assault in the second degree.

Coyne, 55, was in a car, waiting in line at the ferry dock April 11. The 22-year-old victim was in a separate car.

The police report said Coyne was upset with the younger man for smoking in a car next to his. An argument escalated and Coyne allegedly pulled a handgun and pointed in at the other’s man chest, the report said.

The men got onto the vessel The Kittitas.

Trooper with the Washington State Patrol arrested Coyne on the vessel after it docked in Mukilteo.

Officers said they found a semiautomatic handgun in Coyne’s jacket pocket. He has a concealed weapons permit.

Coyne admitted that he did pull the gun and point it at the man, but he said the man had threatened him and took a step forward, the report stated.

A witness, however, said Coyne appeared to be the aggressor and had been profane, according to the report.

If convicted of the charge, Coyne could face from three to nine months under the standard sentencing range.

CONTINUED FROM A1 whose territory includes Whidbey Island.

The state stocks fish in select lakes to spice up the trout fishery for anglers and times it so opening day will be a success.

TYPICALLY, “catchables,” which are trout 10-12 inches in length, are planted in March and April.

Spinelli said that more plants will come in May to replenish some lakes.

“We try to help those fisheries persist as long as possible,” he said.

Smaller trout are stocked in the fall in hopes they’ll reach “catchable” size by the following spring.

Deer Lake, in the south, and three lakes just north of Whidbey Island — Cranberry Lake, Heart Lake and Lake Erie — are expected to provide excellent trout fishing opportunities this spring.

CRANBERRY LAKE, located in Deception Pass State Park, is getting more

Trout large and small were stocked in Deer Lake, near Clinton, early Thursday morning. fish planted this year than in recent years, Spinelli said.

Already, 6,500 trout were stocked there in March, with 4,000 more expected in May. It is one of three Skagit County lakes just north of Whidbey Island that are open to fishing year round, joining Lake Campbell and Pass Lake.

“The lake has very good shoreline access,” Spinelli said of Cranberry. “It provides a very good opportunity to catch trout.”

Heart Lake and Lake Erie, also in Skagit County, don’t allow fishing until opening day. Spinelli said Heart is “stocked to the gills” with fish and includes larger trout.

DEER LAKE and Goss Lake, near Langley, are two lakes on the south end of the island that also are off limits until April 27.

Pass Lake, near the Deception Pass bridge, contains trophy-size fish but the lake has special rules. No motors are allowed and it is fly fishing only. All trout must be released.

Another lake that offers larger trout is Lone Lake near Langley. Last year, Lone Lake received the 204 triploids that Deer Lake got this year.

Lone Lake, however, is a selective-gear fishery with a limit of one fish per day that must be at least 18 inches.

THE RULE that applies to most lakes in Washington is five trout per day with no size limit, but anglers are advised to check state regulations before casting a line in the water (www.wdfw.wa.gov).

The trout that arrived in Clinton this week came from a state hatchery in Arlington.

State fish hatchery specialist Dave Whitmer said that he and co-worker Will Irwin brought nearly 2,000 pounds of trout to Deer Lake.

Whitmer said most state ferry workers know what’s inside the massive tanks.

“Most of the guys on the ferry know what we’re hauling,” Whitmer said.

“Most ask, ‘What lake are you going to?’”

Dudley CONTINUED FROM A1 Dudley’s leadership through retaliation. Skinner spoke against adding members to the committee; he also is an outspoken critic of the mayor and represents two former employees who sued the city after Dudley fired them.

Skinner said no one denied that the marina committee, or the marina itself, is working well.

“This is why we call Dudley the wrecking ball,” Skinner said. “If it’s working well, he wants to wreck it.”

During a council meeting last month, Dudley proposed bumping up the membership on the committee to seven.

He said he wanted more voices on the committee and wider representation.

One member should be a live-aboard, he said.

Council members were immediately skeptical. They questioned why a boat owners who doesn’t live in the city should be on the committee.

The council discussed the issue exhaustively at the April 2 council meeting.

Skinner and another member

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

of the committee addressed the council and spoke against increasing the size of the committee; Skinner said having fewer members is more efficient. They also weren’t happy that Dudley made the proposal without even notifying the committee members.

The council elected to table the issue and directed staff to bring forward two ordinances for the marina committee — one with five members and another with seven members.

Tuesday, the council tackled the issue again.

Dudley repeatedly said he was surprised that his proposal was controversial; he thought the marina committee members would be happy to have more people with ideas. He read a long list of other committees that have many more than five members.

“My goal is to see what can we do to have more input and to see what we can do to improve the marina,” he said.

The majority of council members, however, felt there was no reason to change the committee. They repeated the refrain, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

“When the volunteers prefer it that way, I’m going to support the volunteers,”

Councilman Rick Almberg said.

A motion to continue with a five-member board passed by 4-3. Council members Almberg, Joel Servatius, Beth Munns and Danny Paggao voted in favor.

Thursday, Dudley admitted he ousted Skinner from the committee because of the attorney’s opposition to the increase in members. He said Skinner is “resistant to whatever the mayor recommends.”

“It didn’t have to be this way,” Dudley said.

Dudley said the marina is doing fine, but he wants to hear from people who have “fresh ideas” for making things even better.

“I’m not one for complacency,” he said. “I want a committee that continues to think outside the box.”

Skinner, on the other hand, said Dudley has no vision and no plan, but is just following the direction of his “kitchen cabinet” to get rid of people he doesn’t like. Dudley has ousted a series of people in administrative positions and appointed new members to different committees.

“There’s no rhyme or reason to it,” Skinner said. “He’s like a grade-school kid who wants to assert his authority.”

Clinton stabbing suspect charged

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 21-year-old Clinton man accused of slashing his friend’s throat and stabbing him twice was released from jail after posting $50,000 bond, according to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Kamren F. Adams turned himself in to police Monday and appeared in Island County Superior Court the next day.

Prosecutors charged Adams Thursday with second-degree assault with a deadly weapon.

Wallace said Adams was originally arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault because of the serious nature of the victim’s wounds.

He said the prosecutor determined there’s currently only enough probable cause for second-degree assault since investigators don’t have the medical reports yet.

Wallace said the charge can be amended at a later time as more information is gathered.

Wallace initially recommended that Adams be held on $500,000 bail.

The deputy prosecutor recommended $100,000 because it’s currently a seconddegree assault case. The judge set his bail at $50,000.

The assault was reported just after midnight, on April 14 at Wilson Place in Clinton.

Detective Wallace wrote in his report on the incident that Adams and the victim, 34-year-old Justin Hilleary, hung

out together at a woman’s home. The two men were drinking and got into an argument. Adams punched Hilleary and Hilleary punched him back, the woman later told the detective.

They continued to hang out, but Adams later became angry again and struck Hilleary.

Hilleary pushed him down on a couch and told him to calm down, Wallace wrote.

The three people then drove to the apartment of Adams’ girlfriend at Wilson Place, where they met a third man.

The three young men stood in the parking lot talking when Adams attacked Hilleary, the report states.

Hilleary was cut from below his right ear, across the right side of his throat and down to his chest.

He also suffered a stab wound to his chest and a second stab wound that went completely through his forearm, Wallace wrote.

Adams ran to his girlfriend’s apartment, then left through the back door.

Paramedics transported Hilleary to Providence hospital in Everett, where he was originally in critical condition.

Wallace said he doesn’t know what the men were fighting about or what precipitated the stabbing. He didn’t recover the knife, but witnesses said Adams had a switchblade or gravity knife.

Court records state that Adams, who is unemployed, has a criminal history that includes resisting arrest, DUI, vehicle prowling and fourth-degree assault.

Ousted planner may get contract extension

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Larry Kwarsick, the ousted mayor of Langley, may get another month working as a special planning consultant for Coupeville.

Already weeks past his original 90-day contract, the Town Council will consider a recommendation by Mayor Nancy Conard Tuesday to extend Kwarsick’s contract another 30 days, until May 31.

Conard said the town has received seven applications for the planning director position from people around the state. She said she expects to have someone hired by the end of the month.

She’s not sure when the new planner will report for work, however, which is why she’s seeking an extension for Kwarsick.

It’s possible that he won’t be needed for the entire 30 days, she said.

“I’m just trying to cover my bases,” Conard said.

Per state law, mayors have the prerogative to select and hire their own staff, but Conard said she plans to have up to two members of the Town Council sit in on the interviews.

File photo

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, at right, and former town planner Larry Kwarsick attend a meeting last year.

Kwarsick served as the town’s part-time planning chief for the past 10 years, but the conditions of his employment changed in January when the council accepted his request to terminate his contract.

The month before, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor malfeasance in Island County Superior Court.

He admitted to altering the conditions of a permit for a family member’s home in 2011 while working as Langley’s planning head.

He served two weeks in jail

for the crime and a later ruling court decision forever forbade Kwarsick from holding public office, either as an elected official or as a decision maker.

Kwarsick was a public servant on Whidbey Island for decades: he’s a former planning, public health and public works director for Island County; a former planning chief for Coupeville and Langley; and most recently, he served as Langley’s mayor.

Although he initially waffled on whether to step down as mayor, he resigned and also asked the Coupeville Town Council to end his contract as town planner.

The council agreed, but members then approved a recommendation by Conard to rehire him as a consultant — at a rate of $50 per hour —

while the mayor searched for his replacement.

At the time, Conard said Kwarsick would mainly be cleaning up files and getting computer records in order but also performing some other planning duties. She now serves as the town’s designated planning official, signing and approving all legal documents.

Coupeville Town Councilman Larry Cort, the former Langley planner who approved the permit conditions Kwarsick criminally altered, requested that the temporary contract have a sunset clause of 90 days.

Conard briefed the council on March 26, saying that several things had come up to delay the hiring of a replacement and that she would need Kwarsick for a couple more weeks.

She also informed the council that Kwarsick was preparing staff reports, attending meetings of the Ebey’s Landing Historic Preservation Commission — the joint design review board for the county and town — and performing other planning-related duties.

During an interview Tuesday, Conard said Kwarsick is doing many of the things he did before; the major difference is that he was stripped of his decisionmaking authority and his work is closely monitored.

“His capacity to do the work hasn’t changed, just his

authority,” Conard said.

She estimates that Kwarsick worked an average of about 10 hours a week.

As of the end of February, she said he’d earned about $4,200.

Kwarsick had not submitted invoices for March or April, she said.

Kwarsick did not return a call for comment.

The council had no objections last month to extending Kwarsick’s contract by a few more weeks. Councilman Bob Clay, who also serves as mayor pro tem, said his position hasn’t changed.

“I don’t have a problem with it,” Clay said.

The councilman said the town is complying with the court decision because Kwarsick is working as consultant and not as a decisionmaking official.

This can’t go on forever, Clay said, but added he is willing to approve one more extension.

Clay said he knows Kwarsick personally. The former planner made a “terrible mistake” but it was in Langley, not in Coupeville, he said. Also, Kwarsick has paid a heavy price, losing his elected office, his job and suffering a blow to his reputation.

“He made a mistake, he’s paid for it and we’re going to move on,” Clay said.

Councilman Cort said he also would support another extension, but said he had some questions after the first extension came and went without any word from town officials.

“I would support a temporary extension but I would like a discussion,” Cort said.

Police lock school as a precaution

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Reports of a suicidal woman with a gun at an adjacent housing development put Coupeville Elementary School in emergency lockdown for about 45 minutes Wednesday.

Coupeville Marshal Lance Davenport said a 911 caller alerted police in the early afternoon that a woman at the Big Rock Apartment Complex, next door to the school, was suicidal and armed.

“We chose to put the school under lockdown as a precautionary measure,” Davenport said. “There was never really any danger.”

Davenport, a deputy marshal, worked with a deputy sheriff with the Island County to stabilize the situation. A handgun was siezed, but the woman did not require hospitalization or involuntary commitment, Davenport said.

School Principal David Ebersole reported students and teachers practice for such an event.

“For a live drill, things went well,” Ebersole said.

Students were in recess when the police alerted school authorities to the situation. Kids were shepherded into classes and all the building’s doors locked.

“From there, you wait until the all clear,” Ebersole said.

Parents were notified at the end of the day by email and recorded phone message.

Both the boy and Vidoni were wearing seatbelts.

According to Maier, Vidoni was traveling at a “high rate of speed” and lost control when he had to brake to avoid a vehicle in front of him.

State Patrol said Vidoni faces potential charges of driving under the influence, reckless driving and reckless endangerment.

The accident resulted in both lanes of traffic being closed for about 30 minutes. The southbound lane remained closed for another 45 minutes until a tow truck arrived and removed the wrecked van.

A Coupeville man suffered serious injuries in a one-car accident on State Highway 20 late Wednesday.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the accident took place at about 9 p.m. just west of Sherman Road.

Jon Vidoni, 64, was southbound in a 2000 Ford Econoline van and passing by the cow crater on the south side of the highway when he lost control and drove off the embankment.

The vehicle struck the bottom of the hill and then did at least one “flip,” end-over-end,

before coming to a rest on its roof and facing the opposite direction, said Sgt. Bruce Maier of the state patrol.

Emergency responders were on the scene quickly.

Vidoni was transported to Whidbey General Hospital.

At the scene, Maier said his injuries appeared to be minor, but it was later confirmed that Vidoni was more seriously hurt.

Vidoni was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle.

A hospital official said Friday that he was in “satisfactory” condition.

Vidoni’s son, was also in the van. The state patrol issued a press release Thursday

IN OUR OPINION

Dudley right to propose reducing council benefits Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is looking to cut salaries for himself and council members. He is also looking at eliminating or reducing health benefits for the elected officials.

Dudley said his annual salary equates to roughly $51,000 a year. Council members apparently make $7,200 each year.

We don’t always agree with Dudley, but reducing benefits doesn’t seem like an unreasonable idea.

Consider this — If regular part-time employees for the city don’t qualify for health benefits, why should the part-time elected officials?

Hard-working Americans across this country are struggling with the high cost of health insurance.

Government leaders should share that pain to some extent.

It doesn’t sit well with the majority of people that elected representatives have not faced similar challenges.

The City of Oak Harbor is facing budget problems, and regardless of the causes, expenses must be reduced.

Dudley is looking at cutting the salary and eliminating or reducing benefits for the mayor position.

He’s also proposing the same be done with the parttime council positions.

Several of the council members said this week that their council roles are essentially full-time jobs and they don’t get compensated much as it is.

Council positions for a city the size of Oak Harbor aren’t intended to be a full-time job, nor are they intended to be a person’s primary source of financial support.

Dudley says he’s going to push for a salary commission to review elected officials salaries and propose new rates.

Compensation should be on par with what city’s of comparable size and population are paying.

Councilman Rick Almberg and Councilwoman Tara Hizon maintain the city is in its current financial crunch primarily because of the actions Dudley has taken.

Whether that’s true, as elected leaders, it is up to them and the rest of the council to work with Dudley to find a solution.

Maybe that means downgrading their insurance benefits.

Letters to the editor Safety

OLF practice vital to pilot safety Editor, I have read the letters and articles in your paper about Outlying Field and I am deeply troubled by the lack of caring given to the pilots of those jets that make the noise being complained about.

It’s as though the jets are soulless machines out to annoy us. I live under the flight path too.

Nowhere do I read that the life of a person is at stake here. Those pilots need to practice.

Do any of the complainers understand what it is like to try to safely land on an aircraft carrier at night?

I know I can’t properly describe what they are up against. But I do know that

not only the pilot’s life is at risk, all the personnel on the flight deck could be killed or at least terribly wounded if the jet crashed on the deck, never mind endangering the 5,000-plus personnel on and below decks if that jet hit the carrier.

The pilot needs to practice coming in to land, hitting a specific spot on the carrier deck in order to engage the arresting wire that would bring them safely to a stop.

Thus they need the “touch and go” practice at OLF. Now I understand about noise pollution.

There is a very good and inexpensive solution: ear plugs.

Since moving may not be an option for some, they work very well. They may be inconvenient, but what is more important, your comfort or the life of another?

Funding

Transit funds should go to police Editor, In the April 18 Whidbey News-Times, I see the law and justice folks need a helping hand.

No surprise there, but they want to raise taxes.

How about this instead — Let’s put fare boxes on all the Island Transit buses, let the riders pay their own way, and take the tax money we dump in the transit black hole and give it to the sheriff and county legal folks?

I don’t know about you, but, when things are going south, I prefer a deputy to show up rather than a bus driver.

Editor, On behalf of the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools, I would like to thank the Front Street Grill and their wonderful staff for a very rewarding day.

The Front Street Grill generously donated a percentage of all food sales on March 28 to the foundation to help support Coupeville students. It was a busy day thanks to the many folks who chose to dine out that day, and it was a reminder of the many things Coupeville community members do to support students.

Thank you to Front Street Grill and their patrons for helping maintain this wonderful program.

Threatened court funding vital to helping at-risk youth Sound Off dency actions, such as the two girls above, be appointed a guardian ad litem. The choice is between a CASA volunteer or a more-expensive, private guardian ad litem or paid attorney. The CASA program dramatically leverages scarce public dollars to provide a mandated service, saving millions for the counties and the state, in addition to saving children.

Tragically, Washington is dead last – 50th out of 50 states – in the funding provided to the court system.

Even worse, the state spends only 7/10th of one percent of the state’s operating budget on the entire judicial branch.

If the Senate budget is adopted by the Legislature, then another $7.9 million will be cut from the judicial branch’s administrative agency, the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC).

If implemented, this would result in a 31.2 percent cut to AOC alone, and a 43 percent reduction to AOC since 2009.

The cuts are so drastic for

the best thing for his daughters was to allow the adoption.

Today, the girls are thriving with loving adoptive parents and the father, who finally cleaned up his act, sees his daughters monthly. The girls Churchill Hancock have a permanent home, their “forever home.”

By Judges Vickie Churchill Island County is proud and Alan Hancock to have this CASA program and proud of the volunteers Two girls, ages 4 and 5, who contribute their time – had been removed from and often their own money their home for over two – to help children. Yet this years due to allegations of program of dedicated volunabuse or neglect.

With each move, the children became less stable and TERI MENDIOLA more fragile until a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer was assigned to the case.

The Island County CASA volunteer worked with the state in finding a wonderful adoptive home to place the children when it became apparent the parents either would not or could not conquer their problems.

the judicial branch because 64 percent of the AOC budget is either constitutionally protected or the Legislature itself has put a proviso on parts of it, so it cannot be cut. As a result, the cuts proposed in the Senate budget would have to come entirely from the remaining 36 percent — direct court services and pass throughs, such as CASA. In addition to the CASA program, the devastating cuts would jeopardize court interpreters for those who cannot understand English and would not understand what is happening in court

without an interpreter; a contribution to the salaries of district and qualifying municipal court judges who preside over trials involving state statutes; and funding for the clerk’s office staff to collect legal financial obligations, a program that brings in millions of dollars for the state and the counties.

The House budget is better, but it still would cut $12 million from truancy funding, a statute passed by the Legislature in 1995 known as the Becca Bill.

The statute was named for a 13-year-old runaway girl who was murdered in Spokane.

The legislation was passed to keep kids in school and help families with at-risk children.

Don’t close the doors to the courthouse for our children or others who need these services.

Treat our CASA volunteers as the valuable resource they are. The cuts will be devastating. We urge the Legislature to maintain funding for the trial courts, even if it is only 7/10th of one percent of the state operating budget.

Vickie Churchill and Alan Hancock are judges in Island County Superior Court.

OBITUARY

Kimberly “Kim” Meche

Kimberly Lynn “Kim” Meche

Kimberly Lynn “Kim” Meche, 46, of Vancouver, Wash., longtime former Oak Harbor resident and educator, passed away on Thursday, April 11, 2013, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Kim was born on February 10, 1967, in Lemoore, Calif., to Bill and Richie (Vander Voet) Meche. The family returned to their hometown of Oak Harbor in 1968. Kim attended Olympic View Elementary School, North Whidbey Junior High School and Oak Harbor High School, graduating in 1985. Kim was a star athlete from the age of 8 through high school, playing softball, basketball and volleyball and landing a permanent spot on OHHS’s “Wall of Fame.” She received her Bachelor of Arts in Education from George Fox College in Newburg, Ore., in 1989. She also played all three sports at the college level, leading the volleyball team to the NAIA National Championship as the starting freshman setter.

Kim’s first year in teaching was spent substituting in Oak Harbor. She worked

as the youth director at the First Reformed Church the following year. During those two years, she also coached the OHHS varsity volleyball team, leading them to the state tournament. Her education career then took her to Coupeville High School, where she taught PE and Health and coached varsity volleyball, leading them to multiple state tournaments in those 13 years. She received her Masters of Education Degree from Leslie College and her Administration Certification from Western Washington University. In 2003, Kim accepted a position in the Stevenson-Carson School District as Principal of Carson Elementary School in Carson, Wash.

Kim became the Principal of Stevenson High School in Stevenson, Wash., in 2010, from which she resigned in February 2013. During Kim’s short tenure at Stevenson High School, her leadership earned the “School of Distinction” award as one of the state’s highest improving schools. It is no surprise that even as an administrator, Kim was involved as an assistant volleyball coach during her time in Stevenson. Kim had been a member of the First Reformed Church of Oak Harbor. Her favorite ways to spend her time were to travel, play games with family (as long as she won!) and play golf. Most everybody says they will always remember her smile and her tenacity toward life. Cancer did not define Kim, rather, her high integrity and most of all, her natural leadership

to both staff and students.

Kim is survived by Kathy Browning of Vancouver; by her parents, Bill and Richie Meche of Oak Harbor; two sisters, Terri Meche of Sedro Woolley; and Stephanie Cone and husband Ray of Oak Harbor; nephews Brian Fakkema and wife Amanda of Killeen, Texas and Trenton Cone of Oak Harbor; nieces Heather Carpenter and husband Andrew of Mount Vernon, and Melany and Abi Cone, both of Oak Harbor; also, grandmother, Lee Vander Voet of Oak Harbor, two great-nieces and nephew and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as many friends. She was preceded in death by grandparents Art and Henrietta Vander Voet and Fred and Nita Meche; and uncles Kim Meche and Gene Vander Voet.

Memorial Services will take place 2 p.m. Sunday, April 21 at Stevenson High School 3 p.m. Saturday, April 27 at the First Reformed Church, Pastor Dave Engle officiating.

A Private Family Committal Service will be held at Maple Leaf Cemetery. The family suggests memorials to First Reformed Church Memorial Fund for Youth Missions, 250 SW 3rd St., Oak Harbor, WA 98277, or to the StevensonCarson Administrators Scholarship Fund, PO Box 850, Stevenson, WA 98648.

CHS track team battles weather as well as Falcons

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

If the weather is nasty, it must be the day of a Coupeville High School home track meet.

Amidst the rain and wind, which seems to haunt the Coupeville home meet each

Nick Streubel (shot, 42-02; discus, 127-08) and Josiah Campbell (100, 11.99; triple jump, 35-09.5) paced the boys with a pair of wins. Campbell

also teamed with Lathom Kelley, Brandon Kelley and Sam Landau to win the 4x100 (47.67).

For the girls, Madison Tisa-McPhee (100 hurdles, 17.13; high jump, 4-08) won two individual events and a relay. She joined Makana

Oak Harbor baseball team runs win streak to 7 games Oak Harbor High School baseball team completed a three-game sweep of Stanwood with a 3-2, eightinning road win Thursday.

The victory, the Wildcats’ seventh straight, followed a pair of 7-5 wins over Everett earlier in the week.

The three wins solidified Oak Harbor’s (8-5, 9-7) hold on second place in the Wesco 3A North over third-place Stanwood (5-7, 5-10) with four games left.

Oak Harbor’s game at Everett (0-11, 1-13) yesterday was rained out and will be played Monday at 4 p.m.

Against Stanwood, the Wildcats scored the winning run in the top

of the eighth without a hit. David Kusnick walked on a full count, moved to second on a passed ball, stole third and scored on another passed ball.

Stanwood, which tied the game in the bottom of the seventh on a squeeze bunt, put two on in the eighth but couldn’t punch a run home.

Leaving runners on base was a problem all day for the Spartans as Wildcat pitcher Grant Schroeder pitched out of trouble throughout the game. Stanwood had at least two base runners in six of the eight innings but could score only twice.

Schroeder finished with an eight-

prep roundup Wolves split The Coupeville baseball team gave first-place Archbishop Murphy a scare before falling 8-4 Tuesday, then behind a strong de-

fense and Aaron Curtin’s pitching, defeated Granite Falls 5-2 Wednesday.

Against Murphy, Coupeville led 3-2 early, then the Wildcats (13-0, 14-1) went up 6-4 after three innings.

It remained a two-run

hitter, striking out five and walking six.

Oak Harbor scored single runs in the first two innings and then was blanked until the eighth.

In the first, the run came on an error after Jack Richter and Kusnick singled.

In the second, Andrew Snavely walked, went to third on a pair of passed balls and scored on Brent Mertins’ single.

Schroeder, who hit a double, and Mertins each finished the day with two hits.

Everett provided more resistance than expected. The Seagulls entered the Oak Harbor series having lost

game until the seventh when the Wildcats tacked on two more on three hits and a walk.

Drew Chan, Jake Tumblin, Curtin and Morgan Payne each had two hits for the Wolves.

In Wednesday’s win over Granite Falls, Curtin pitched a complete game, struck out seven, walked only one and

nine straight, losing by an average of nine runs per contest.

Oak Harbor used a six-run inning in each game to grab the wins.

In Tuesday’s game at Everett Memorial Stadium, Oak Harbor erupted for six runs in the first inning, then Everett counered with five in the bottom half.

Schroeder started the six-run first with a walk, Mike Maletto reached on an error, then after an out, Seagull starter Mitch Erickson hit consecutive batters (Kusnick and Cory Cameron) to force in a run.

Anthony Stewart followed with a two-run double, Clay Doughty singled in the fourth run and Snavely

pitched out of several jams.

Meadowdale’s Alyssa Reu-

finished it off with a two-out, tworun double.

Richter replaced starter Schroeder in the third and gave up only two hits the rest of the way.

Snavely led the offense with two doubles.

In Wednesday’s home game, Everett starter Christian Tracy retired the first 12 hitters before the Wildcats put up six runs in the fifth.

Richter doubled and Cameron, Stewart, Schroeder, Maletto and Kusnick all singled to spur the rally.

Everett scored two unearned runs off winning pitcher Danny Wolfe in the first and another in the sixth.

ble pitched a five-inning no hitter in the Mavericks’ 17-0 win at Oak Harbor Tuesday, then Glacier Peak’s Callie Bircher two-hit the Wildcats in a 5-1 win Thursday in Snohomish.

Reuble, in addition to tossing the no-hitter, slugged four hits, including two doubles, and scored four runs.

Glacier Peak backed Bircher with four first-inning runs.

Bircher, who was coming off a perfect game, struck out 12, her third consecutive 10-strikeout performance.

Rally falls short, offense struggles as Coupeville softball team loses 2

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

A four-run seventh inning was two runs short as the Coupeville High School softball team lost 8-6 at Granite Falls Tuesday, then the Wolves’ offense sputtered in a 10-0 loss to visiting Sultan Thursday.

Against Granite Falls, the Wolves trailed 8-2 going into their final at bat.

A triple by Madeline Strassburg, a double by MaKayla Bailey and singles

by Maria Rockwell and Bree Messner fueled the four-run rally. A strikeout, however, ended the comeback effort.

After the Tigers took a 3-0 lead in the third, Coupeville responded with two in the fourth. Hailey Hammer doubled and Bessie Walstad and Strasburg singled to score the runs.

Granite Falls (7-2, 8-3) pushed across three more runs in their half of the fourth, then got two more in the fifth to go up 8-2.

Strasburg finished 4-for-4 with a triple and four RBI. Despite the loss co-coach David King was pleased with his club’s effort and lauded the defensive play of the team (only one error), the defensive work at of Hammer at third base and the pitching of Bailey and Rockwell.

In regard to the offense, he liked the work of Strasburg, Walstad, Rockwell, Hammer and Messner at the plate.

That offense was lacking against Sultan. Hammer’s single with one out in the seventh inning spoiled Shelby Jeffries’ no-hit bid. The Turk freshman struck out 12 in her second one-hitter this week.

Her battery mate, catcher Rachel Kirkpatrick, also

Get organized so you can focus on some God time

Page A11

FAITHFUL LIVING

By JOAN BAY KLOPE

For years I’ve accepted as fact the notion that time spent with God will positively influence the way I approach problems and increase my joy. Time spent with God gifts us with peace and perspective, compassion and hope.

With all of the horrific national news this week, bringing order to our households sounds like a healthy personal response.

Organizing so we can happily function as a family is a worthy goal.

And frankly, I don’t want to move a pile of unopened mail off my kitchen table to accommodate a sit-down family meal. I don’t want to head out the door, anticipating a fun and impromptu adventure, only to discover the car gas tank is empty. These real-life situations lead to frustration. Feelings of inadequacy. Irritability and conflict.

This week faithful living is practical and sensible so we can make better connections with God and each other.

Use what’s there If you enjoy hobbies, I bet you have supplies piled somewhere. Put a halt to all future purchases until you have sorted, compiled, and tossed all unusable items.

You can even apply this methodology to your pantry, a closet, or front planter. Clear it, sort it, organize it, clean it, use it, gift it, or toss it. Declare a “clean out the refrigerator night” and eat up all the odds and ends fresh enough for healthy consumption. Then plan a week’s worth of meals, grab coupons if you’re so inclined, and shop with a list in hand and a stomach that’s full. You’ll spend less.

Don’t let it pile up Don’t allow things to get out of hand. This means dirty dishes go directly into the dishwasher and not into the sink unless it’s filled with hot, soapy water and you’ve got a minute to quickly do some hand washing.

Apply this same concept to other areas of your life.

Sort the mail daily. Fold and put away clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer. Sort your e-mail inbox.

Daily attention to small build-ups trump infrequently attended mountains of mess.

One task, one day at a time If you are like me and can easily feel overwhelmed, stop worrying about the big picture and look instead at one project in one room. Decide how much time you’ll allot to a task, set the timer, and dig in. Turn off the TV put away your cell phone if you’re easily distracted.

Shorter, intense spurts of attention will help you work through your list, however long.

List and sort If I have a lot of things to do I write everything down as it comes to me. Then I sort the tasks. If, for example, they involve trips into town I put my stops into a logical order and treat myself with a coffee when I’m finished.

I also listen to a favorite radio program and take my Chihuahua buddy to keep me amused.

Choose a strategy and give it a try. You’re enthusiasm will overflow onto those around you. You may even find a peaceful stretch to give God some of your time.

Members of the Oak Harbor High School culinary arts program wait to board a shuttle to the airport Thursday morning. Seven students took a flight to Baltimore, Md., to compete in two competitions at the National ProStart Invitational this weekend.

acheal Balasa got so busy setting things up, she forgot to set one thing in particular.

Her alarm.

“She overslept,” said Phil Balasa, her dad. “It never went off. I think she forgot to set it.

“It’s usually the case when there’s a very intense moment going on with her, she remembers the details of everything else and will forget the most simple thing.”

But Balasa surprised her dad by popping out of bed virtually prepared, and was ready to go “in five minutes.”

Enough time to stop and get a “white chocolate frappuccino” on the way.

Balasa and six other members from Oak Harbor High School’s culinary arts program packed up and boarded a shuttle just before 7 a.m.

Mary Arthur, culinary arts instructor at Oak Harbor, had an extensive checklist in preparation for the national competition.

They are competing in the National ProStart Invitational, which runs all weekend and wraps up Sunday. The event, including the awards ceremony, will be streamed live on NRAEF.org/watchlive.

This is the sixth time in seven years that Oak Harbor has competed in the national event, but the first time two teams have gone.

Oak Harbor is represented by a culinary team and a restaurant management team.

Both teams won state championships in March to earn a trip to the national event.

“This is probably the best year yet,” said Scott Fraser,

owner of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway and longtime mentor of the high school program. “The team has just worked extremely hard to get to this point and they want to come home with the first prize, which is the best high school in the nation.”

Oak Harbor’s culinary team finished fifth at the national event last year.

Balasa, a senior, was part of that team and returned this year as team captain. She is joined on the culinary team by juniors Haley Garden and Joanna Leete and sophomore Sara Jackson.

ment team consists of seniors Michelle Lambert and Robert Clemena and sophomore Patrick Salgado.

“I feel like we’re going to do really well,” Balasa said. “We placed fifth last time and I feel like we’re even more prepared this time.”

Mary Arthur, culinary instructor at the high school, is joined by Fraser and two parent chaperones on the Baltimore trip.

At the competion, the culinary team is judged by how well it prepares a three-course meal in 60 minutes, using only See CULINARY, A12

“Be careful with that one.

That bin contained cold ingredients, packed in ice packs, including the rabbit.

“Basically, it’s a whole rabbit that we have to debone and create our dish with it.We actually make three different items on our dish with the rabbit.”

He said there was an order to how that bin is organized.

“Fifth place comes along and they announced it last year and it was like jaw-dropping because of the fact that you’re not expecting a little school from the middle of nowhere in upper Washington state on an island to be named nationally. There are kids from across the and from across the world there.”

FWP has very nice common areas that can be used for group events or just relaxing. Our house is beautiful and very well constructed. The open floor plan is perfect for our family and having the kids bedrooms over the garage prevents noise from the kitchen or living room from disturbing their sleep.
