It’s 100% official.

The Island County Auditor’s office certified the general election Tuesday, and with that, the Coupeville School Board has two new members.

CHS grads Morgan White and Nancy Conard won contested races to fill open seats, while incumbent Sherry Phay, who was running unopposed, was elected to a second term.

The trio join Christine Sears and Glenda Merwine, with the new lineup scheduled to have its first meeting in December.

 

Final numbers:

 

Sherry Phay — 2,990 votes (100%)

 

Nancy Conard — 3,366 (74.08%)
Paul Rempa — 1,178

Thank you, Venessa

November 22, 2021 by David Svien

Venessa Matros

She made a real difference.

In every meeting, every action, every carefully thought-out word.

Venessa Matros, a Coupeville High School alumni who came back around to serve eight years on the school board, cares deeply about her community.

That has always shone through brightly, never more so than Monday, as she chaired her final meeting.

The election is certified Tuesday, and Nancy Conard and Morgan White will join the board, replacing Matros and Kathleen Anderson, who both opted not to run for re-election.

That meant Monday’s virtual meeting was the final one for the former Wolf student turned school leader, and she went out in style.

Matros made an eloquent defense for students being allowed freedom to leave campus at lunchtime.

She also battled through emotion as she described what her town, her school district, and her service to both, has meant for her.

It has always been personal for Matros, as she has worked tirelessly for her own daughters, and for the children of other Coupeville parents.

Our school district is better off for her efforts, for her dedication and unflagging spirit, and her commitment.

That came through in farewell comments from fellow board members Sherry Phay, Christine Sears, and Glenda Merwine, as well as Superintendent Steve King.

While Covid has sent board meetings online, preventing Matros from getting the full, public farewell she deserves, I hope she exits knowing how much her community appreciates her.

Thank you, Venessa, for all you gave, from all of us.

You made a difference. You made us proud.

Three schools, four games, one wild opening night.

High school basketball starts Wednesday, Dec. 1 in Coupeville with a home doubleheader.

The Wolf boys welcome Oak Harbor to town, while the CHS girls square off with Granite Falls.

The girls varsity plays at 5:15 PM in the high school gym, with JV tipping off at 7 PM across the hallway in the middle school gym.

Meanwhile, the Wolf boys operate in reverse, with JV at 5:15, and varsity at 7 PM.

With an ongoing pandemic, all fans are required to wear masks at games this season.
