It’s time to take the mound and make your pitch.

Central Whidbey Little League is seeking a volunteer to run concessions, and league officials would be particularly interested in someone who wants to bring in new ideas and expand the menu.

Whether you’re bubbling over with ways to fire up sales and tantalize taste buds, or content to just run things as is, they want to hear from you.

If interested, contact Paula Peters at (805) 302-9162.

Four days to make the dream come true.

Central Whidbey Little League wraps up registration 8 PM Wednesday, Mar. 8, and there’s a definite need still existing for a specific type of child.

Know a kid between ages 9 and 10? Get them off the couch, off their phone and on the field.

CWLL needs at least three more girls for minors softball and has a bit of a quandary with minors baseball.

The league currently has too many players for one team, but not quite enough to field two teams.

So you, yes you, and that child you know, could be the difference. You could save your little league!!

The call is yours to make!!

Ask not what your little league can do for you, ask what you can do for your little league.

With baseball and softball on the horizon (and nice weather, as well?), Central Whidbey Little League is putting out a call for umpires.

If you have prior experience, dandy.

If not, come with a positive attitude and they’ll teach you everything you need to know about the job.

After that, you could be kick-starting a new career which one day winds up with you behind home plate in a Major League Baseball game.

Or, at the very least, you could help CWLL keep chugging along, which benefits the children of Whidbey Island.

If you’re interested, contact Jim Wheat at cwllumpire@gmail.com.

   Maddy “Mad Dog” Georges prepares to crush the softball (and all of the pitcher’s hopes and dreams).

Act now, save now.

Registration for the spring Central Whidbey Little League baseball and softball seasons is underway, and, if you get your children signed up in the next six days, you’ll save a few bucks.

Registration runs through Mar. 31 (the season is Apr. 1-June. 1), but you get $10 off if you sign up by Jan. 31.

So, it’s a good thing I kept this story short. Just a little time to read it and a lot of time to go grab your discount.

Paul Schmakeit, a member of the 2010 Central Whidbey Little League juniors baseball team which won a state title, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for his role in a 2015 burglary which broke the 68-year-old victim’s back and left him paralyzed.

The former athlete, who graduated from Coupeville High School in 2013, plead guilty Sept. 26 to residential burglary and assault in the second degree.

He is currently incarcerated in the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton, inmate #394801.

During a burglary of a Greenbank residence July 27, 2015, the homeowner, Dennis Phillips, returned and engaged Schmakeit.

The former Coupeville High School football player tackled the older man, landing on top of him and breaking his back, as detailed in police reports.

Schmakeit fled into the woods and was later arrested while trying to avoid a customs inspection at the Canadian border at Sumas.

He was found in possession of a handgun.

Canadian authorities have not publicly stated whether they will pursue their own charges against Schmakeit.

Phillips, who was not found until five hours after the crime, remains paralyzed.
