Access still key in landslide aid efforts
By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
Driftwood Way homes marooned by a massive landslide in Ledgewood last week became accessible by vehicle for the first time in nearly a week late Monday. Island County Public Works road crews began building an emergency, one-lane gravel road Friday. Working through the Easter weekend, they were able to wrap up work at about 3:30 p.m. Monday. The new road was not only a relief for full-time residents — marking an end of the necessity of slogging up and down a muddy trail to get to their homes — but it also gave vacationers who were caught up in the natural disaster the first chance to return overdue rental cars. “They’ve been great,” Driftwood Way resident Greg Cosgrove said, referring to public works employees. “We were really cut off for a while,” he said.
In the early morning hours March 27, more than a 1,000 feet of bluff collapsed, taking out a large section of Driftwood Way. The road served as the only vehicular access to 17 homes in the small waterfront community. No one was hurt but the devastation claimed one home and has left four others uninhabitable. Two are on Driftwood Way and two are on Fircrest Avenue, the parallel street that runs along the top of the bluff. The newly constructed road connects the southern end of Fircrest to Forgette Lane, a small side street off Driftwood Way. Following what had essentially been a footpath, the public works crew hacked it out of the bluff side with small bulldozers. Approximately 600 feet in length, the road was something of a Herculean effort as it was built over a period of just four days. Under normal circumstances, construction See Ledgewood, page 7
A fundraiser is scheduled this weekend to help the people affected by the landslide that took place March 27 in Ledgewood on Central Whidbey Island. The fundraiser is scheduled for 2 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 6 at the Greenbank Farm. Some of Whidbey Island’s most notable restaurants and food producers will descend upon the picturesque farm to participate in the Great Whidbey Slide Relief Cook-Off that begins at 2 p.m, according to a news release. Sponsored by Ciao, Flyers Brewery, Three Sisters Cattle Company, Columbia Distributing, Spoiled Dog Winery, Whidbey Island Wines, Useless Bay Coffee Company, Windermere Realty, Fraser’s Gourmet Hideaway, and Sysco Food Service will prepare some of the best barbecue, tacos, and grilling for the hungry throngs of charitable people who are sure to attend the fundraiser. Mojo Filter kicks off an afternoon full of music starting at 2 p.m. Local funk sensation The Still Bill Band takes the stage at 4 p.m. and Johnny Bulldog Tristao, lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revisited, will headline the fundraiser and starts performing at 5 p.m. A massive landslide early in the morning March 27 prompted the evacuation of residents in 17 homes. Currently, county officials have “yellow tagged” four homes near the landslide, which means the homes aren’t habitable, but residents can enter them. County officials have “red tagged” an additional home, which means the structure is unsafe to enter. Laska said Windermere, food vendors and Central Whidbey residents have chipped in to help organize the fundraiser. Tickets for the event cost $20 and they are available at the Greenbank Farm the day of the event. An account has also been set up to help benefit the people affected by the landslide. People can donate to the “Whidbey Slide Relief Fund” account that was set up at Wells Fargo Bank. For information call 360- 678-0800.

Jessica Muzzall of 3 Sisters Beef shows some of the products that are being sold out of a retail spot located in the former San de Fuca fire station. 3 Sisters started selling out of that location Saturday.
3 Sisters Beef opens new store location By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
What started as a way to pay for college while providing a local source of beef for Whidbey Island residents has slowly grown over the course of 13 years. The North Whidbey company, 3 Sisters Beef, completed its latest expansion recently by opening a market in San De Fuca that will give people another place to purchase locally grown products. The business, owned by the Muzzall family and called 3 Sisters Market, is selling beef, pork and eggs at the former San de Fuca fire station located on Highway 20 at the western edge of Penn Cove. The Muzzalls are leasing the former fire station that officials from North Whidbey Fire and Rescue closed years ago. It had been vacant since. In addition to the beef, pork and eggs from the Muzzalls’ farm, the new outlet will also offer another retail space for local farmers and food producers to sell their products. “Pretty much everything local you can think of, we’re going to put in here,” Jessica Muzzall said. She will run the day-to-day operations of the retail space. Three Sisters Market has fresh produce from Bell’s Farm and Willowood Farm. Muzzalls hope to find more products on Whidbey. “We’re working with all of the farmers to get their support,” Jessica said. After scrubbing the floors and decorating the former fire station, the market opened
Saturday before closing again Sunday for Easter and re-opening again Monday morning. Jessica said the Saturday opener went well and she sold out of the produce she had on hand. The Muzzalls have been farming on Whidbey Island for four generations and they celebrated 100 years on Whidbey in 2010. A long-time dairy farmers, they have been selling grass-fed beef to Whidbey Island residents since 2000 under the name 3 Sisters Beef. “We thought we’d take advantage of people wanting local products,” Shelly Muzzall said. The beef sales also provided a way to help pay for college for the three Muzzall sisters, the last of whom will attend Bellevue College. They remain involved with the business either through tending to the animals or running the business, or a little bit of both. Beef from 3 Sisters Beef is available at Saar’s Market Place in Oak Harbor, Prairie Center in Coupeville and all of the supermarkets on the south end of the island. Three Sisters Beef has participated in local farmer’s markets, but with the opening of the retail spot, it may not return, Shelly said. Shelly said 3 Sisters Beef started a latefall farmers market in 2011 at the corner of Highway 20 and Monroe Landing Road. Whidbey’s farmers market season had just concluded and local growers still had crops to sell. Three Sisters Beef is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

Senior looking forward to church mission work senior spotlight By Betty Freeman For The Whidbey Examiner
Nathan Lamb, 18, knows what he’ll be doing but not where he’ll be going in the two years after he graduates from high school. As a young man and a Mormon, he knows he’ll be sent on a two-year mission for his church. “I’d like to go somewhere new and different,” said Lamb. After graduation from Coupeville High School in June, Lamb will spend a summer quarter at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah preparing for his mission. “I’ve been reading the scriptures, and l expect we’ll be taught how to understand the material and how to explain it to the people we meet,” said Lamb. After a month of training, Lamb will learn where he will be sent on his mission and
whole life in rec leagues,” said Lamb. “When I play soccer, I like my position at center midfield where I’m able to look around for scorers and help on defense too. I try to help the team relax and have fun.” He has also served as an ASB representative as a junior and senior, and was a member of the 2012 Science Olympiad team. Lamb has a 3.9 grade point average at Coupeville High School and is a member of the National Honor Society. As a sophomore, Lamb partnered with his friend Amanda D’Almeida in the National History Day competition, where they placed ninth for a presentation about the controversial Boldt decision concerning Native American fishing rights. “History Day taught me about doing research, managing my time and diplomacy,” said Lamb. “It also taught me how to work with a partner to solve problems.” As for classes, Lamb said all the teachers at Coupeville high School are really dedicated, but feels he connects
who his companion will be for the next two years. Nathan is the youngest son of Randy and Debby Lamb of Coupeville. His three older siblings, Erica, Taniel and Jordan, are already launched into their adult lives. “Jordan, who’s 21, just got back from his mission in Sweden, and he’s at BYU now,” said Lamb. “Erica and Taniel are married and have little kids,” said Lamb. “I love spending time with my family and especially my nieces,” he said. “So far my sisters have had all girls, so now I’m waiting for a nephew.” Once his mission is complete, Lamb expects to attend Brigham Young University and to study for a profession in the medical field. Both physical therapy and optometry are possibilities, he said. “I like anatomy and science, and I want to combine those interests with working with people in some way,” said Lamb. At CHS, Lamb participates in soccer and tennis. “I’ve played soccer my

Lamb says his parents are his best role models. “I have a great relationship with my mom and dad,” he said. “They take the time to talk to me and they encourage me to be myself.” He knows having a sup-

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, April 4, 2013
Farmers markets create a sense of community I have to say, I love farmers markets. There seems to be a sense of pride that comes with every market I attend. It’s fun to talk with the vendors and learn about their products and all the work that went into them. It took many years for the community I previously lived in to get a farmers market started. The first one was finally held last year. That market averages 20 or so vendors. It took a lot of work to get that market up and running. It takes a community to support events like these. I was a bit surprised to learn this week that the Coupeville Farmers Market averages 49 vendors each week. This is also the market’s 35th consecutive year. That’s pretty impressive. It’s great to see a small community with such a large market showing. It just goes to show how many neat people are in this community doing a variety of trades. The Coupeville market starts this week, opening 10 a.m. Saturday on the community green behind the library. I, for one, plan to be there. One of my favorite things to do is find one item I’ve never tried before and make something with it. One of my favorite markets is the Olympia Farmers Market. When market season starts, it becomes a way of life. People’s eating habits change to cater to what they can find. I know mine does. I think things taste better from markets and are a good representation of the area. Products vary from market to market. No two areas alike. I think you can learn a lot about an area and community through its local vendors. I’m looking forward to market season. Coupeville’s is the first of several on Whidbey Island. The others will start later into spring. You can find more information about the market on page 6. Market manager Peggy Tenant is busy getting the starting lineup going. If you’re interested in participating, she can be reached at 360-678-4288. — Megan Hansen, editor
Project to create hotspot for mobiles, not mobile hotspot Editor, Your March 28 article, “Waterfront Association looking at hotspot,” may have confused readers. As the individual who presented options to association members at the meetings, I’d like to eliminate that misapprehension. Contrary to the Examiner report, a mobile hotspot was not under discussion. Mobile hotspots involve using Internet-connected devices, such as smart phones, to share their data plans with other devices like tablets or notebook computers. The project we discussed was a public hotspot similar to the wifi access today available at the Coupeville library, Local Grown and Lavender Wind, but spanning an area roughly from Main Street to Town Park and from the wharf to the farmers’ market. This hotspot would, in fact, eliminate the need for individuals to use their own mobile hotspots to share data access over the cellular network across multiple devices. So, in summary, the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association is considering establishing a hotspot for mobile devices, not a mobile hotspot.

While I recognize his lawful right to do that, how sad a commentary it is on our times that this person felt it necessary to protect himself from the lovely baristas. They have always seemed very peaceable to me, and when a mistake was made, I felt no need for a loaded pistol!

County to install See the world in a grain of sand new light signs Island County Public Works crews will soon begin installing solar-powered blinking traffic signs in advance of various sharp turn locations on Whidbey Island. The blinking signs come equipped with eight lightemitting diodes (LEDs) around the border of the sign that are designed to flash briefly once per second as a vehicle approaches. The lights on the sign will not flash continuously all day, but rather are specifically programmed to flash only for a period of about 15 seconds as each vehicle on the road approaches the sign. The flashing lights around the sign provide
enhanced warning about changes in roadway alignment and are considered a proactive measure to reduce run-off-the-road collisions by helping motorists maintain proper speed and alignment through turns. About 60 blinking signs are being paid for and installed as part of a federal grant project aimed at reducing the occurrence of specific collision types along rural roads. Installations will begin on South Whidbey and progress northward throughout the remainder of the year. For questions call Devin Joslin, traffic engineer, at Island County Public Works 360-679-7331.
Whidbey honors Mother Earth April is all about celebrating the planet this year. Earth Day is officially April 22, but a lot of activities are planned from late March through April all over the island. Activities have been jointly organized by eight Whidbey Island organizations: Citizens Climate Lobby; EcoNet (Education, Communication, and Outreach Network); Goosefoot; Orca Network; South Whidbey Tilth; Whidbey Geodome Project; Whidbey Watershed Stewards and
Washington State University Waste Wise Program of Island County. Highlights include lectures, the Welcome the Whales parade, two art exhibitions, and a series of Science While Sipping pub and coffee house talks all month. A complete schedule of events, with listing of sponsors, is available at www. whidbeyearthday.org
E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc Born in 1632 in the Netherlands, Antony van Leeuwenhoek was a self-taught man who made microscopes – ultimately producing some 500 of them. Microscopes consist of lenses of carefully ground class. Van Leeuwenhoek’s microscopes could magnify objects up to two hundred times. That opened up a range of investigations to him and he took advantage of the new devices he was creating to look at almost anything and everything, including bacteria he obtained from between his teeth. Van Leeuwenhoek also took a deep interest in a common substance: sand. He collected it and studied it. That may have been because he was using sand to grind the lenses of his microscope. In any event, using his creative mind and good observations, he studied sand intensely. At one point he published the following statement: “I have formerly affirmed of Sand, that you cannot find in any quantity whatsoever two Particles thereof that are entirely like each other.” Sand, in other words, is a bit like
snowflakes, with individuality built into each particle. I was reading recently about van Leeuwenhoek in a book by Michael Welland called Sand: The Never-ending Story. It’s a good read and I recommend it if you take an interest in the natural world. Even a simple substance like sand can be fascinating from a variety of viewpoints once you learn something about it. Just as one example, sand can be of forensic interest. Sand found in the tire treads of a car or the boots of person can place a suspect at the scene of the crime just as effectively as an eye-witness. Sherlock Holmes was, of course, a fictional character, but his methods of observing sand and mud on shoes have the strength of forensic science behind them. An early case where forensics concerning the evidence of sand and soil came about in 1908 in Bavaria. The police suspected a man who happened to be a poacher of murdering a woman. Quite luckily for the police, the poacher’s wife had cleaned his shoes the day before the murder. Police found three layers of earth material on them during their investigation. The first layer, the one nearest the sole of the shoe, corresponded to the earth outside the poacher’s house. No surprises there: he had worn his freshly cleaned shoes when he left his house, and picked up materials on his shoes as soon as he stepped outside. The next layer of material on the shoes was laced with
a distinctive red sand of the sort found where the body of the dead woman had been discovered. The final and outermost layer included cement, brick fragments and coal dust corresponding to materials on the ground where the poacher’s gun had been found. None of the layers of material on the suspect’s shoe matched the soil from the fields where the poacher claimed he had been at the time of the murder. In short, the simple evidence of detritus on his shoes condemned the suspect, bolstering the prosecution’s case just as much a witness might have. Sand is also interesting to physical scientists. It’s a granular material, like salt or sugar. In some ways, dry sand behaves a bit like a liquid. If you pour it into a jar, it takes the shape of its container. If you make a heap of sand, adding more and more grains to the top of it, at some point you’ll get material to slide off the pile and sometimes flow onto the level surface around the heap of sand, spreading itself out over considerable distances a bit like a liquid
would flow. You may have heard of the black sands of Iwo Jima, the Pacific island at which a major World War II battle was fought. The sands are composed of ash from the local volcanoes. The ash-sand has unusual granular properties. Welland reports that one Marine who took part in the battle described the sand as so problematic “it was like trying to run in loose coffee grounds.” The granular properties of the special sand made moving on the black beaches quite a chore. You really can see the world in a grain of sand. Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist at Princeton and Harvard.

Coupeville Farmers Market to kick off season Coupeville Farmers Market will kick off its market season this Saturday. It is the 35th consecutive year for the market, said Peg Tennant, market manager. The market is held every Saturday through mid October, with the exception of Aug. 10. Markets run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Community Green behind the Coupeville library. As one of the longest running markets in one of the oldest towns in Washington state, the Coupeville Farmers Market continues to be a reliable source of farm fresh produce, locally made baked goods, soaps, lotions, teas, handmade crafts, unique art, and ready to eat hot food, Tennant said. Last year the market averaged 49 vendors each week and Tennant said she expects about the same. Many of last year’s vendors have already signed on including 5 Acre Farm, Hot Rock Pizza and Brett’s Breads. A new bakery, Coyote Bakery will join the market with a naturally leavened sour dough. 5 Acre Farm will be returning with other local farms in June. Two regular vendors, however, passed away during the off season. Pete Pescador from Pescado Farms, passed away in January and Lois Clauson from Nana’s Closet passed away in November. There will be opportunity for customers and friends to add to the messages of love and support to Pescador’s widow Kathy and his family, Tennant said. Customers and friends who like to be “in the know” can go to the market’s Facebook page for the latest in news and crop readiness information. The market is also working on a website, which should be up and running soon, Tennant said.

Bid chosen for Pole Building Bluff fall prompts By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
Work on a new kitchen for the historic Pole Building at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds in Langley may begin as soon as next month. Following a public bidding process, Island County Public Works officials are recommending the job go to Oak Harbor-based Nautilus Construction and Management. The firm was the lowest bidder of three construction firms, quoting a total cost of $80,893. According to Bill Oakes, director for public works, Nautilus has worked on other projects for the county and performed well. But there are still some details that need to be worked out before a contract can be signed. Additional demolition of the existing kitchen is needed that was not fac-
tored into the company’s original bid. It’s not yet clear who will do the work or how much it will cost, he said. “Whether that’s the fair or the contractor, we need to figure that out,” Oakes said. Volunteers, in fact, already gutted the old kitchen area to prepare for the remodeling. The Gust Skarberg building, commonly referred to as the Pole Building, was constructed in 1937 under the auspices of the federal Works Progress Administration. It’s been used by a wide range of groups over the years, but currently serves as the Island County Fair Association’s headquarters. It’s also used by the local OutCast theater group and for boat storage. The existing kitchen has fallen into disrepair. The project seeks to renovate the space so that it can be used by caterers or other groups needing a modern, non-commercial kitchen

space. Funding for the project is from three sources: $50,000 from a federal grant, $35,000 from county real estate excise taxes and a $15,000 in-kindmatch from the fair association. Oakes is hopeful the demolition hiccup will be sorted out soon and that a contract will be signed by the Island County commissioners next month. That would allow construction on the six-week project to begin by the end of April. At a recent meeting with the board, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson called the building a “well used facility ... in desperate need of sprucing up.” “We’re richly blessed in Island County to have the fairgrounds and the historic buildings that are there, but they need tender-loving-care and this an opportunity for us to do that,” she said.
concern for better warnings By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
For a Langley resident, a climb up a bluff turned into a trip to the hospital. James Mattern was walking with his girlfriend, Tonya Schaffer, on the beach at Double Bluff Park recently when he noticed several men climbing up the bluff. Tonya said he almost made it to the top when a portion of the bluff gave way and the resulting avalanche caused him to tumble back down to the beach. “He’s lucky to be alive,” Schaffer said. The fall caused numerous injuries that included a fractured rib, three fractured vertebrae, a punctured lung and numerous bruises from head to toe. She credited the young adults who helped get her boyfriend off the rocks at the park, stabilized him and stayed with him during the 45-minute wait for paramedics. She said if it wasn’t for their efforts, Mattern’s condition would have been worse. Schaffer said she was wwsurprised to learn that there is a warning sign posted on the beach, but she noticed that it was facing toward the nearby homes and not toward the park. She also questioned the wording of the sign, which states “climbing bluff can cause serious injuries.” “I’m very disturbed that there wasn’t a better warning,” Schaffer said about the sign. She said she has contacted the county to see if the warning can be improved. She noted that she sees children often climbing up the bluff.

Ledgewood: County works to build temporary road
Justin Burnett photos
Above and below: County public works crews work to build a temporary road so residents can come back to their homes isolated by a landslide last week.
From page 1 would take at least twice as long, said Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works. “I’m very proud of my guys,” Oakes said. Oakes was on vacation when the slide occurred. He rushed back and has been a key figure in managing the crisis. He didn’t open the new road to residents until he’d driven it first in a county-owned, two-wheel drive Ford Taurus. While the new road restores some sense of normalcy for residents, as of Tuesday morning they were still without power and Puget Sound Energy officials are unsure when it will be restored. “The best guess is crews could start (work) this week but there’s no estimate on when it would be finished,” said Walt Blackford, the power company’s spokesman for Whidbey Island. The new utility lines are planned to run along the new road and the installation can’t begin until it was finished, Blackford said. Also, the power company had yet to decide whether to bury the lines or run them on poles overhead. A decision was expected to be made Tuesday, Blackford said. PSE officials on the scene Monday speculated that power won’t likely be restored to Driftwood Way homes until next week. Eric Brooks, Island County’s emergency manager, con-

firmed that all the homes now have water. Three homes were without after the landslide and residents were making due by sharing water from garden hoses, he said. “It’s a pretty resilient community,” Brooks said. The fate of the five homes most affected, however, remains unclear. The only house directly in the path of the landslide is visibly intact, but it was knocked off its foundation and traveled about a 150 feet from its original location. The building has been red tagged, which means it’s too dangerous to enter. Brooks confirmed the renter, John Etheridge, was allowed to visit the house Monday afternoon but he was not allowed inside. “We picked up what we could,” Brooks said. Attempts to reach Etheridge for this story were unsuccessful. The four uninhabitable homes have been yellow tagged, which means owners are allowed to enter and remove personal contents but they not permitted to stay for any length of time. According to Oakes, it could be some time before the status of any of the homes changes. Engineers will have to be satisfied that the slide has stabilized and then additional analysis will be needed to determine if the homes are safe to live in. “It’s going to take time,” he said. As for the red-tagged home, Oakes said it is extremely unsafe. Just to enter the building to remove personal belongings would require work on the foundation, likely by a contractor, he said. “He is in a tough spot,” Oakes said of Etheridge. “I feel for him.” Additional work on the new road will continue throughout the week. At some point, it may also be paved and become the permanent access to the small community, Oakes said. According to Cosgrove, turning the new road into the neighborhood’s sole access is not a popular idea among fulltime residents. The little road may be fit to “send grandma down in the Buick” for now but residents are united in a wish to see Driftwood Way repaired, he said. “We need a two-lane road back,” Cosgrove said. According to Oakes, the landslide was both massive and geologically complex. At least 200,000 cubic yards of soil was moved – about 40,000 dump-truck loads – and tons of dirt and trees were forced under the existing landscape. Reuilding Driftwood Way is a consideration, but Oakes said he has serious doubts about its structural stability, the cost of construction and its long-term safety in a slide-prone area. Whatever is decided, it’s not a decision that will be made tomorrow. “Right now, we’re just focused on finishing the (new) road and restoring access to residents,” Oakes said.

After hot start, Wolves drop 2 By Jim Waller Staff reporter
After blanking visiting Archbishop Murphy 5-0 Tuesday, March 26, for its fourth consecutive win, the Coupeville High School tennis team ran into trouble over the next two days, losing 5-0 to visiting South Whidbey Wednesday and Blaine Thursday. The Wolves steamrolled its first four foes this spring, surrendering only one point along the way. South Whidbey (5-0) and Blaine (3-2) proved to be tougher opponents. Coupeville coach Ken Stange said Friday morning, “The girls were pretty down about yesterday. I think egos got inflated after going 4-0 against lesser competition. We have to regroup after break.” Not all was negative in the losses. Stange said Micky LeVine and Jacki Ginnings (playing in her first varsity match), “played their hearts
out” and won a set against the Falcons. Against Blaine, Stange said, “Amanda (d’Almeida) and Allie (Hanigan) showed some spunk at singles. Allie even built a lead in the second set, but she couldn’t hold on.” Coupeville (4-2) is off until 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, when it goes to Granite Falls (1-4). Coupeville 5, Archbishop Murphy 0 Singles: 1, d’Almeida won 8-2; 2, Hanigan won 8-1. Doubles: 1, Irys Rychaert/ Holly Craggs won 8-0; 2, Ana Luvera/Ivy Luvera won 8-4; 3, Breanna Koym/Samantha Martin won 8-6. South Whidbey 5, Coupeville 0 Singles: 1, d’Almeida lost 6-0, 6-0; 2, Hanigan lost 6-0, 6-0. Doubles: 1, Rychaert/ Craggs lost 6-1, 6-1; 2, Ana Luvera/Ivy Luvera lost 6-0, 6-0; 3, LeVine/Ginnings lost 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. Blaine 5, Coupeville 0
Sports Wrapup Soccer loses pair
Stretches of strong play were not enough as the Coupeville soccer team lost 2-0 to visiting South Whidbey Tuesday, March 26, and 2-1 in a shootout at Sultan Friday. Coach Paul Mendes said of the South Whidbey match, “Our boys were up for the big game, and we came out strong. We started well with some good ball possession at midfield. Unfortunately we did not convert our scoring opportunities.” Mendes called the Sultan match “our best game so far.” Jeremy Copenhaver scored 21 minutes in, registering the first goal by the Wolves this season, to knot the score at 1. From there the two teams went scoreless, including two overtime periods.

Sultan (1-3, 2-4) out-dueled the Wolves 5-4 in shootout kicks to sneak away with the win. The Wolves had a chance to win in the shootout, leading 4-3 when a miss or save would wrap up the match. Mendes said the Sultan player “struck the ball well, and our goalkeeper Kolton Kellison ... got an outstretched hand on it, but it was hit with enough power that it still managed to trickle in.” Coupeville (0-4, 0-5) goes to Granite Falls (1-2, 1-4) at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Softball team rebounds
Hitting throughout the lineup, the Coupeville softball team dumped visiting Sultan 9-5 Friday after a sloppy 8-1 loss at Granite Falls Wednesday, March 27. Next up for the Wolves (2-2, 3-2) is South Whidbey (0-6) in Coupeville at 4 p.m. Monday. Mental mistakes proved costly at Granite Fall (2-2, 3-3) as the Wolves had three runners doubled off,

thwarting would-be rallies. Coupeville also make poor decisions on defense, negating a nonerror day, according to co-coach David King. Coupeville’s lone run came in the seventh. Hailey Hammer led off with a single and moved to second on a passed ball. With one out Haley Sherman singled Hammer home. McKayla Bailey topped the offense with two hits, including a double. Madeline Strasburg also doubled. Madi Roberts, Hammer, Sherman and Sydney Aparicio all singled. Maria Rockwell started in the circle and Bailey took over in the middle of the third inning. Leftfielder Sherman sparkled on defense with two outstanding catches, King said. In the Sultan game, the Turks scored one in the first and Coupeville countered with four runs in the bottom half. Bailey doubled and Rockwell, Hammer, Bessie Walstad,
Strasburg and Bree Messner singled to spark the rally. Pitcher Bailey threw well going into the fifth, yielding only two unearned runs. That changed suddenly when the Turks started the inning with two home runs and a double. Rockwell took over and got out of the jam with a come-backer and two strikeouts. Now tied 4-4, Coupeville reignited its offense in its half of the fifth. Hits by Rockwell, Hammer, Walstad, Strasburg and Chevy Reyes and an error led to four runs and an 8-4 lead. Sultan (2-3, 3-4) got one run back in the top of the sixth, then Coupeville matched it. Roberts singled, Bailey sacrificed her to second and Hammer drilled an RBI double to left, just missing a home run. King said, “We played smarter and eliminated the mental errors. Yes, we had some fielding errors, but the team rallied around those and didn’t allow Sultan to turn them into big innings.”

provided a pinch double and Wade Schaef hit a monster home run to left. Freshman Cole Payne’s clutch hit came in his varsity debut. He told Smith, “I’m not going to lie, I was nervous. On a scale of 1-10, I was definitely a 12.” Coach Willie Smith called the Cedarcrest (8-1, 8-2) double header “interesting.” He said, “We won the first game and played extremely well. Then in the second, as many good things that we did in game one, we did just the opposite.” In game one, Drew Chan was 2-for-3, and Morgan Payne and Etzell had two-run singles. Etzell also threw a complete game for the win. Morgan Payne’s first-inning double is about all that went right in game two. Coupeville (4-4, 5-4) entertains Archbishop Murphy (7-0, 8-1) at 4 p.m. Monday.
Hammer finished 3-for-4 with a double and two runs batted in; Reyes was 2-for-3 with three RBI. Rockwell, Walstad and Strasburg each collected two hits. Rockwell upped her pitching record to 3-1.
