Whidbey Examiner, November 15, 2012

Walkers, bikers and drivers all try to cross Highway 20 to get from South Ebey Road to N.W. Broadway Street to get downtown and back again, said James.

This is often hard to cross, making it a dangerous intersection, he said.

The south-bound flashing speed limit sign was installed near this intersection.

Last November, Coupeville resident Toni Chapman, 61, was struck and killed as she was walking in the southbound lane near the intersection after dark. It is believed the wom-an was trying to cross Highway 20 at the time.

Chapman was the second pedestrian killed in two years.

There is no pedestrian crosswalk at this in-tersection and the nearest one is three-tenths of a mile away at the Main Street and High-way 20 intersection.

James said he has witnessed an increase in traffic over the years, and he recognizes that government officials face a real dilemma about improving safety and traffic flow.

“This area is not rural anymore,” James

Seals enjoy the afternoon sunshine as they lounge on a floating platform at the mussel farm operated by Penn Cove Shellfish. According to owner Ian Jefferds, the seals chow down on the fish in the area and don’t bother the mussels. The platforms give the seals a nice, safe place to haul out and rest.

Two Oak Harbor residents have been charged in the Memorial Day burglary of Ebey Bowl in Coupeville.

Prosecutors charged 34-year-old Jason M. Bowen in Island County Superior Court Oct. 18 with burglary in the second degree and theft in the second degree. He pleaded not guilty Oct. 18.

Jasmine Seaward, 23, was charged Oct. 19 with burglary in the second degree and theft in the second degree. Her bail was set at $10,000 Nov. 5.

Siblings Matt Iverson and Mimi John-son, the co-owners of Ebey Bowl, said they were surprised this week to find out that the suspects had been charged. They were both happy with the prospects of the alleged bur-glars being held accountable.

“It wasn’t a huge loss, but it was enough to set a business back,” Iverson said.

The burglary at the bowling alley on Terry Road was reported on May 29 by a Coupeville man who has a key to the building, accord-ing to court documents. A deputy arrived and found that a back door had been forced open. Stolen items included beer, liquor, candy, a laptop computer and hundreds of dollars.

The two suspects were identified from security video taken at Ebey Bowl and the Country Store in Coupeville, according to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives identified Bowen as a suspect a few days after the burglary and sent out a press release asking the public for help locat-ing him. He was found shortly afterward in Snohomish County jail, where he was being held on suspicion of an attempted burglary in Lynnwood, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

If convicted of the charges against him, Bowen could face more than five years in prison under the standard sentencing range. His criminal history increases the standard sentencing range.

Bowen was sent to prison four years ago after he stole a credit card from a former deputy prosecutor and, in a separate case, was dealing cocaine. Seaward would face from three to eight months in jail if convicted of the charges against her. She identifies herself as Bowen’s girlfriend on her Facebook page.

Flashing speed signs aid in safety

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012 VOL. 18, NO. 15

By Elisabeth MurrayStaff Reporter

When Lee James, a longtime resident of Coupeville, hears a loud bang, he knows right away what it is: a car accident has occurred on Highway 20 just north of Coupeville.

A recent speed-limit sign upgrade near his home might help reduce these costly – and sometimes fatal – traffic encounters.

The solar-powered flashing LED speed-limit signs are designed to alert motorists to the reduction in speed from 55 miles per hour to 44 miles per hour as they near the Coupe-ville town limits, said Dustin Terpening of the Washington State Department of Transporta-tion. It is a new traffic tool to bring more at-tention to the speed-limit sign, he said.

The northbound and southbound lanes both received the same upgrade.

“I am glad to see it up and working,” said James, a longtime advocate for improving traffic safety in the area.

EVENING OUT!


On a recent sunny day, a group of volunteers were bun-dled up to insulate against the brisk winds that whipped across Penn Cove.

The graduates of the 2012 class of Washington State University Island County Extension Beach Watchers dipped their gloved hands into bowls of cold water and pulled mollusk after mollusk out to take measurements.

The mussels like it cool.After checking and dou-

ble-checking that the animal measured between 50 to 60 mm long, another volunteer placed 16 of these creatures into a numbered mesh bag.

Over the course of almost two weeks in late October, the volunteers packaged ap-proximately 7,500 mussels from Penn Cove for delivery.

Unlike ones destined for the plates and bowls of hun-gry eaters, these mussels will return to Washington waters to continue filter feeding as part of a research project to learn more about the health of the state’s marine environ-ment.

This study conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will al-

low scientists to determine the extent and magnitude of near-shore contamination, said Project Manager Jenni-fer Lanksbury.

It will also establish a baseline, something that is especially important should a disaster occur. In the case of an oil spill, like the one


Washington State University Island County Extension Beach Watchers volunteers Margaret Elphick and Cheryl Lowe help prepare mussels for placement in Washington’s waters. A study to be conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will allow scientists to de-termine the extent and magnitude of near-shore contamination.

Local mussels star in research on pollution

that happened in Penn Cove in May, the data would pro-vide scientists and recovery groups a comparison on how things should be and current conditions.

The data will also be provided to state legislators, the decision makers whose choices can impact the health of nearshore waters, Lanks-bury said.

Ian Jefferds of Penn Cove Shellfish in Coupeville donat-ed native Penn Cove mussels for the project.

“He was phenomenally generous,” said Lanksbury, adding that Jefferds also chipped in bags and ice.

Four mesh bags will be in-stalled in each predator-proof test cage at 113 research loca-tions. A grant from the fed-

eral Environmental Protec-tion Agency paid for 60 of the sites, and the remainder were sponsored by outside groups for $1,300 per site.

“This was a booming suc-cess,” said Lanksbury about asking for involvement. “We doubled our capacity.”

After about 10 days of rest in Penn Cove’s famil-iar waters to recover from handling, the mussels will be ready for transfer.

On a low-tide night, vol-unteers from all over the region will head to the cove to pick up coolers filled with bagged mussels and distrib-ute them to test sites.

For two months, from mid-November through mid-January, the mussels will live as mussels do — they will

open their shells a bit to let in some water, and filter out food.

In the study, everything will be kept constant except for the location they will be placed, and as a result, the water quality they will live in.

And when chowing-down, they will be ingesting every-thing — both good and bad — in the water. The two months gives the mollusks ample time to ingest any chemicals in their surroundings.

Once picked up by vol-unteers at the end of the test period, these aquatic vacuum cleaners will be shucked and 30 specimens from the same cage ground up together. This composite will be tested for contaminants such as pesti-cides, flame retardants, oil and metals, like mercury.

Jefferd’s contribution will travel throughout the Puget Sound region, with eight test cages remaining in waters off of Whidbey Island and two near Camano Island. One of those sites will be at the Coupeville Wharf.

The state got involved in the national Mussel Watch program the winter of 2009-2010 when the program struggled financially and sought out cooperation from the states to help collect the samples. The national pro-gram, managed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has been collecting data since 1986.

The pilot expansion pro-gram branches off from the national one, and significant-ly increases the range and number of the testing sites, Lanksbury said.

Barbara Bennett, coordi-nator for the Island County Beach Watchers, said that she was proud of the Beach Watchers’ involvement in this project, which ranged from measuring and bagging to de-ploying the cages.

More than 30 volunteer organizations helped out, Lanksbury said.

“Island County Beach Watchers have been the big-gest helpers,” she said.


This mussel measures up for participation in a scientific study to be conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The study will allow scientists to determine the ex-tent and magnitude of near-shore contamination. This bivalve and approximately 7,500 others were donated by Coupeville’s Penn Cove Shellfish.

New ferry names released WednesdayWashington State Trans-

portation Commission an-nounced Tuesday the names

of two 144-car ferries current-ly under construction.

Tokitae should begin carrying passengers in early 2014, and Samish may set sail in early 2015.

Whidbey-based Orca Network campaigned for the name Tokitae and collected more than 1,500 signatures.

This Coast Salish greet-ing means “nice day, pretty colors.” It is also the name of an orca captured in Penn Cove in 1970. Tokitae was re-named Lolita when she was brought to a marine park in Miami 40 years ago.

Orca captures have been banned in Washington state waters since 1976.

Samish means “giving people.” The Samish Indian Nation’s historic area ranges from the mountains of the

Cascade Range west along the hills, woodlands, and river deltas, ending at the far western shores of San Juan Island.

The naming of the two new Olympic Class vessels is in keeping with the tradition of giving names that reflects the state’s tribal heritage.

No official determina-tion on the routes that the ferries will serve has yet been made, but Joy Goldenberg, spokeswoman for Washing-ton State Ferries, said the two vessels they could serve on the Mukilteo-Clinton route, among the San Juan Islands or between Bremerton and Seattle.

Ferries may be moved between routes to provide the highest level of service, Gold-enberg said.

Coupeville High School senior Danny Savalza is known for his upbeat school spirit, whether he’s playing on the Wolves football team or wearing his “Shaman Saval-za” regalia to lead cheers at other school sports events.

“I invented this character, ‘Shaman Savalza,’ as a goofy way to get people involved in cheering for our teams,” Savalza said. “I bought a red turtleneck nightgown at a thrift store and made myself a lampshade hat.”

“It’s kind of a personal-ity statement for me,” he said. “I want people to know it’s cool to show spirit and be out there supporting the school. I like to make an impact, sup-porting our teams and being part of a team effort.”

Savalza sees his strength in being a “people person” who likes to have a wide vari-ety of friends.

He is especially against bullying, and says he will step in if he sees it happening.

“Everybody deserves to be treated with respect,” Savalza said.

He said he felt honored to be elected Homecoming King in October.

Savalza, 17, is a Coupe-ville native, the only child of Deb and Hank Savalza, who

spotlight

he said have been very sup-portive of him.

“My parents are always there for me,” he said with a smile. “They’re awesome.”

Savalza enjoys Coupe-ville’s small-town lifestyle and knowing most of his class-mates in the Class of 2013.

“Our class is pretty close,” he said.

Though he’ll miss his hometown, he’s looking for-ward to making new friends next year in college.

His first-choice school is Western Washington Uni-versity in Bellingham, where he hopes to study environ-mental geology and minor in teaching.

Savalza also likes West-ern’s proximity to his favorite snowboarding venue, Mount Baker.

“Snowboarding is one of my top passions,” he said. “I love being in the mountains, out there in nature.”

During his time in the Coupeville School District, Savalza said he’s had several inspiring teachers who chal-lenged him to aim high and do his best.

He recalled his second-grade teacher, Mark Nost,

who he said, “made me try harder and put me on a better

path.”In ninth grade, science

teacher Colleen Fox taught Savalza the value of good teaching and inspired his interest in pursuing a future career in science education.

“Miss Fox had a good teaching style and was al-ways there to give you extra time if you needed it. With her, I started to learn about geology and that sparked my interest in geology and the en-vironment,” Savalza said.

Fox also advises the school’s National Honor Society students, including Savalza.

Savalza said he enjoys working with his fellow Na-tional Honor Society students on community projects such as the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival and Penn Cove Water Festival.

Savalza said another in-fluential teacher and coach is Ron Bagby.

“Mr. Bagby was my foot-ball coach freshman year, has been my weight-training teacher for three years and is now my senior project advi-sor,” he said. “Coach Bagby has provided guidance and encouragement over the past four years and pushed me not

only to be a better athlete but also a better person.”

Two English teachers, Janie Rosenkrance and Bar-bara Ballard, were instru-mental in helping Savalza polish his writing and test-taking skills.

“Mrs. Rosenkrance made me a stronger writer,” he said. “And Mrs. Ballard has been a lot of help with SAT prac-tice.”

Savalza also participates in the CHS Jazz Band, under the direction of Jamar Jen-kins.

“Mr. Jenkins loves music and is passionate about it,” he said. “I wasn’t that into jazz until I had him for a teacher.”

Even though he’s looking forward to college life next year, Savalza is determined to enjoy his final year with his classmates in Coupeville.

“Being a senior is a time of thinking back at where you’ve been, but also looking forward,” he said.

“I want to make some good memories and spend time with my family and friends this year,” he added. “I know I couldn’t have grown up in a better place.”

ACLU, not Navy, gets credit for public access

I’m a little puzzled by Josef A. Kunzler’s letter, “Thankful for protection NAS Whid-bey provides.” (The Whidbey Examiner, Nov. 8)

He credits the Navy with his ability to get public records. Actually, it was a statewide ini-tiative by a majority of the voters that passed the state Public Disclosure Act. And if you have trouble with recalcitrant politicians pro-viding those records, I seriously doubt that the Navy will help.

I remember a time when I, on behalf of Whidbey Environmental Action Network, did have trouble with resistant politicians, the Island County commissioners.

It was 1995 and the commissioners cre-ated a new policy of charging $1 per page for copies of public records to try to prevent us from getting them. Even if the requested documents were on a floppy disk, they at-tempted to charge $1 per page. So a 350-page document on a floppy would cost $350. Even though state law says that the county could only charge the actual costs involved in mak-ing the copies.

Well, who you gonna call when ghostly good old boy politicians try to keep you in the dark? The U.S. Navy? They could bomb the courthouse? Land marines? Establish a chain of command? Buy some really expensive toilet seats? Or something?

Nah. Who you gonna call? The American Civil Liberties Union, those fine folks who have been defending the Bill of Rights for ev-eryone for nearly 100 years. And that’s what we did. ACLU found a volunteer attorney who wrote a sternly worded letter to the Good Ol’ Boys. And the price of getting copies from the county suddenly dropped to 25 cents a page or $5 per floppy disk.

And that’s why it doesn’t cost $1 per page to get public records from Island County.

Now, my point here is not to bash the Navy. There have been wars when the U.S. military did defend freedom and democracy.

Also, wars that were for territorial and com-mercial expansion, and some that no one can figure out why they were fought and people died.

But if you need help defending your rights that doesn’t involve fighting a war, you are bet-ter off going to the American Civil Liberties Union.

My gratitude to the Friends of the Coupe-ville Library. I attended the fabulous fabric cranes event. It was very educational and a very friendly atmosphere.

It taught me a new craft skill. Who said there is not much to do on the island? Check with the library some time. I am glad now that I know how to make gifts, especially as the holidays are coming. Thank you, Kathleen Dodge-Deheaven, for sharing your talent with us.

Thank you for passing the fire/EMS levy

On behalf of South Whidbey Fire and EMS, thank you to our community for sup-porting the levy lid lift for our volunteer fire-fighters and emergency medical technicians. We worked hard to educate the community about the levy lid lift over the past year — but we also received an education along the way.

We learned that we need to communicate with you on a regular basis —not just when we have a special need like the ballot question.

During this public education effort, we learned to work better as a team to respond to questions and deliver information (in addition to emergency services) to the people we serve.

Finally, we learned about the deep-rooted caring and support the community has for this organization and the 75 men and women who volunteer to provide you with fire and emergency medical service.

Regardless of how you voted, we appre-ciate your involvement and participation because it comes from the heart. We will continue to report back on the progress we are making through regular communications with the public. Thank you again for your support.

The Whidbey Examiner welcomes let-ters to the editor.

We strive for balance, but there are times when we may only receive letters on one side of an issue.

Letters express the views of their writ-ers, not those of this newspaper or its employees. Letters should be factually ac-curate and reflect the original thoughts of a single writer.

If your opinion differs from those you see printed, you’re encouraged to write a letter and give your perspective. Subject matter should be relevant to readers, pro-vocative, constructive and timely. Passion is good. So is humor.

Our first priority is to publish letters by local people that address local issues. We will publish letters on other subjects depending on available space. Letters that have been submitted to other local news-papers also receive lower priority.

We do print brief “thank-you” letters when space is available, but letters about more in-depth concerns receive first prior-ity.

Sign your letter and include your street address and daytime and evening

telephone numbers. Phone numbers are used for verification only, and will not be published.

All letters are subject to editing for length, content, grammar and punctua-tion. Letters must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for publication on Thursday.

We strive to print all letters we receive, but publication is not guaranteed. Shorter letters of 250 words or less have a better chance of getting into print. That’s rough-ly the amount of double-spaced text that fits on a single page.

Contact our office before submitting longer editorials to be considered for pub-lication on the Viewpoints page.

During election season, the Examiner receives a large volume of letters support-ing or opposing candidates and various ballot issues. We will publish as many letters as space will allow, and post the re-mainder online at whidbeyexaminer.com.

The first of two scheduled public hearings concern-ing a long-range shoreline planning document update for Island County was held in Coupeville last week, but how public beach access will be addressed remains unclear.

It’s been one of the most talked about issues since drafting the shoreline mas-ter program update began in 2010 — a process required by the state every eight years — and it continued to be a point of disagreement for the public during Monday’s meeting with the Island County Commissioners.

On one side, proponents lobbied for stiffer rules that would require future devel-

opments to incorporate pub-lic beach accesses, no mat-ter how small or seemingly insignificant.

“We need those areas for public access. Period,” said Steve Erickson, legal coor-dinator for the Whidbey Environmental Action Network. “I don’t think it should be discretionary at all.”

On the other side of the fence, property rights advo-cates such as Jeff Lauderdale, a Coupeville resident and commissioner candidate, maintained that regulations which force people to hand over private land to the pub-lic is nothing short of a gov-ernment “taking.”

Instead, efforts should be focused on the identification of existing accesses so they can be utilized by the public,

he said.“I think we need to not

handcuff ourselves to a tak-ing of property,” Lauderdale said.

The shoreline master pro-gram is a planning document, required under state law, that will guide new and existing development within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark over the next 20 years.

In response to comments about beach access received during a string of recent pub-lic meetings and over the past two years creating the plan, document authors have pro-posed several amendments.

Along with suggesting cooperative approaches, such as the implementation of financial incentive programs, county officials are recom-mending a continued effort to identify existing beach

accesses.At the same time, they

suggested softening require-ments for new developments of more than four homes but less than 10.

They could dodge having to build a beach access by paying a fee, money which would go toward the pur-chase of public shoreline elsewhere, or by creating an access for the new commu-nity only, not for use by the general public.

Salmon farmingAquaculture also proved a

hot topic with the public. A first draft of the rule update proposed salmon farming of local stocks only. Species such as Atlantic salmon would be strictly prohibited.

However, Karen Stewart,

the county’s shoreline mas-ter program coordinator, said Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officials have since made it clear that is a policy they will not endorse as farming wild stocks of salmon is not allowed in Washington.

Erickson got a round of applause from some in the crowd when he criticized Atlantic salmon farms as nothing more than “feed lots” run by multi-national corpo-rations. They have no alle-giance to the community and are focused solely on “extract-ing money and resources,” he said.

He recommended the board read the book “King of Fish,” and fight to retain a strict ban of Atlantic salmon farming in areas where known diseases associated with the species might be transferable

to native stocks.He was one of several peo-

ple to lobby the commission-ers to take a hard stance on the issue and even challenge the state if need be.

“I would encourage the board, beg you, fight this tooth and nail,” said Robert Hrycenko, a Greenbank resi-dent.

Clinton resident Rufus Rose stopped short of endors-ing Atlantic salmon farming, but did say he wished to offer a balanced prospective and suggested his own book.

“It’s called ‘The Great Salmon Hoax,’” Rose said.

In the end, the board took no action and agreed to con-tinue the hearing until Nov. 19. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. and will be held in the Commissioner’s Hearing Room in Coupeville.

Beach access a big issue on Shoreline Master Plan

said Tuesday morning as a long string of cars sped by on the highway within view of his home.

Putting in a traffic light would make it easier for cross-traffic, he said, but it would also increase the traf-fic congestion in the area.

James said he applauds the speed limit reduction, which occurred last fall, and he believes this has helped make the area safer.

As data is collected, the state will be able to deter-mine if this is the case.

According to Terpen-ing, speed studies have found that so far people have been observing the reduced speed limit.

James said he is hope-ful the flashing lights to alert motorists of the speed reduc-tion will help too.

The flashing, solar pow-ered lights were installed in early October by the Wash-

ington Department of Trans-portation. Each solar pow-ered unit cost about $5,000 and came out of the opera-tions budget.

More flashing signsThe Town of Coupeville

also plans to install flashing speed limit signs.

The new radar/speed signs will alert motorists and also inform them of their speed.

The Coupeville Marshal’s Office expects to purchase two stationary electronic units with money from a $15,000 grant from the Skagit/Island Regional Transporta-tion Planning Organization, a voluntary organization of local governments for the purpose of coordinating transportation planning.

The town currently de-ploys a mobile unit to alert motorists of their speed and this large unit is frequently seen near the Coupeville

schools on South Main.“We are excited to be af-

forded the opportunity to provide safer roadways for our citizens and visitors, as well as the opportunity to take a more proactive ap-proach to addressing neigh-borhood concerns about speeding vehicles,” Coupe-ville Marshal Lance Daven-port said.

Like the mobile unit, the much smaller stationary units will include an electron-

ic portion that will display a vehicle’s speed when the driver is observing the speed limit – and flash the rate of speed when they are going faster than they should.

A black-and-white posted speed-limit sign will also be

present.The electronic device will

also record the speed of pass-ing vehicles.

“This is great for law en-forcement to study traffic,” Councilmember Bob Clay said.

Based on the data col-lected, the Marshal’s Office may decide to implement additional monitoring to cut-down on speeding.

Davenport said he is cur-rently evaluating suitable lo-cations for the devices.

Whidbey General Hos-pital pharmacy technician Cherie Post types in her pass-word and swipes her finger across the reader.

For the rest of her shift, the electronic device will accept Post’s fingerprint as a way to access the medica-tions contained within the clear rectangular cabinet and she will not have to re-enter her passcode.

This new system lets Post dispense the medications her patients need quickly — and accurately.

“We are always con-cerned with preventing er-rors in medication admin-istration,” said Trish Rose, spokesperson for Whidbey General.

The Whidbey General Hospital Foundation secured a $150,000 grant from the Murdock Foundation to help cover part of the $315,000 cost.

The hospital purchased six devices for use in different areas of the hospital. Each device is filled with medica-tions specific to that depart-ment’s needs.

Nurses who transferred to Whidbey General from

other facilities had a leg up in learning how to use this technology, said Post, who trained her co-workers to use Omnicell. Many were already familiar with a com-petitor, Pyxis MedStation, which operates in a similar fashion, she said.

For nurses who began their career at the local hos-pital and had never been ex-posed to automated medica-tion dispensing, the learning curve was much steeper.

“It was quite the learn-ing experience,” Post said. “There are always growing pains with something new, but we are working through them.”

The hospital continues to make improvements based on feedback from staff to make the dispensing cabinets the most useful tool possible, said Linda Gipson, the hos-pital’s chief nursing officer.

Younger nurses who are part of the “technology” gen-eration also adapted quickly to the new devices, Post said

Post said she is enthusias-tic about this new technolo-gy, especially once Meditech comes online, which is the “other piece of the puzzle.”

The Bedside Medication Verification system to be implemented with Meditech

assures that medications are delivered correctly each and every time they are pre-scribed. Meditech and the verification system should be online next spring.

At the bedside point of medication administration, the nurse will be able to scan the barcode on the patient’s wristband and on the medi-cation to make certain the medication is the right drug, in the right dose for the right patient, in the right amount and using the right route, Gipson said.

“From the physician’s order to the pharmacy to the Omnicell dispensing system and finally to the administra-tion of the medication at the patient’s bedside, every pro-cess is designed to assure pa-tient safety and confidence,” Gipson said.

High alert medications, like blood thinning Couma-

din, do not have a spot in Omnicell.

Medications that could put patient safety at risk if inappropriately given con-tinue to be dispensed by a pharmacist.

In addition to improving patient safety, the automated system assures that patients are correctly billed for the exact dose of medication that they receive at the time it is dispensed.

Omnicell automatically tracks inventory, and also re-duces the time that staff must devote to time-consuming compliance counts for con-trolled drugs.

“Our nurses and phar-macists appreciate the ben-efits that the system provides and the commitment of the hospital to provide them with state of the art tech-nologies like the Omnicell,” Gipson said.

Drug safety improved at WGH Community to gather for Thankgiving Day feast

Friends, neighbors, families and visitors are welcome to join the 14th an-nual Community Thanks-giving potluck Thursday, Nov. 22 at the Coupeville Recreation Hall at the cor-ner of Alexander and Cove-land streets.

A traditional spread will be served buffet-style from noon to 2:30 p.m. or until the food runs out.

Turkey and ham are provided by the organizers, while the rest of the tasty menu is up to those who attend.

This is the perfect op-portunity to showcase a

favorite family recipe or try something new.

The event is a smoke- and alcohol-free holiday extravaganza of dining and visiting with friends and neighbors.

Rather than sitting home alone, fixing a huge meal for a few people or dining out at a restaurant, join the cel-ebration and stuff yourself on everyone else’s personal best. The community feast is free, fun and friendly.

The gathering is loosely organized by locals, and help is always welcome. To get involved, call Sue Wink-er at 360-678-1224.

Genealogical Society web site earns statewide honor

The Genealogical Soci-ety of South Whidbey Is-land recently won the 2012 Best in State award for its website.

Forty societies com-peted for the honor, which was presented at the Washington State Genealogical Society’s an-nual convention in Port Townsend.

Web designer Nancy Hepp of Clinton created the site’s design using sepia colored 19th and early 20th century photos, many from Genealogical Society members’ family collections.

Bob Richardson, presi-dent of the society, added much of the site’s func-tionality.

“I wanted the site to be easy to read and at-tractive, generating with people a curiosity and en-gagement with the past,” Hepp said. “Use of the photographs and related stories lends itself natural-ly to getting people to ask, ‘What about my family?’”

The group has col-

lected and scanned virtu-ally all obituaries of Island County residents from the 1890s through December 2010, at which time the local newspapers began publishing obituaries on-line.

Search access to the collection of 23,447 obitu-aries is available at gsswi.org. The website uses pho-netic matching of names, which increases the user’s chance for a successful search.

The website offers information about ge-nealogical activities and resources from the local to national level, tools for research and special aids for researching family tree members from Island County.

The group meets on the second Monday of each month from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church Chapel and Com-munity Building, 18341 Highway 525, Freeland.

For information, call Candace Allen at 360-321-5150.

Local residents are invited to take part in the Gingerbread Challenge, a gingerbread contest sponsored by The Whidbey Examiner.

Previous years’ entries have included tra-ditional gingerbread houses along with hand-shaped gingerbread cookies and even a color-ful gingerbread ferry.

Families, businesses, classrooms – every-one is encouraged to enter the contest. And be creative! How about a pod of gingerbread orcas? A gingerbread Coupeville Wharf?

A gingerbread lighthouse? Maybe even a barn with a herd of gingerbread cows!

To take part in this year’s contest, bring your entry to the Coupeville Library at 788 N.W. Alexander St. Entry forms are available on a table in the foyer where you can leave your entry on display.

There is no cost to enter, but participants are encouraged to bring nonperishable food donations for Gifts from the Heart food bank. Entries can be delivered beginning Saturday,

Nov. 24, and official judging will take place on Saturday, Dec. 22.

The workshop, sponsored by the Coupe-ville Historic Waterfront Association in part-nership with Coupeville Chamber of Com-merce, provides gingerbread supplies, frosting and candies on a first-come, first-served basis.

Kids must be accompanied by an adult.Local residents are encouraged to visit the

library to see the contest entries as they ar-rive. Ballots and a ballot box for the People’s Choice category will be on the table beside the entries.

There are two types of people in the world.

The first type whisks the dirty Thanksgiving dishes away to be scrubbed and stacked before the gravy has a chance to congeal on the plates. The second type leaves the cleanup ‘til morning, be-lieving a heinous job is better tackled with a cup of strong coffee and a good night’s sleep — especially when it comes to desiccated turkey carcasses and marshmallow-encrusted yams.

In the same way, garden-ers’ philosophies on garden cleanup can be like night and day.

Some will tear through their fading flower beds in the fall and level every-thing at once, sacrificing any late bloomers in their clean sweep.

Others will put off any at-tempt to make order out of chaos, even after the dahlias turn to black goo in the first heavy frost and the wizened daisies have stood morosely at attention for eons.

Sure, all the hostas are down for the count and the thinning greenery has laid bare that thoroughfare the voles have made of the raised beds, but they’re in no hurry to rush into the fray with a rake and shears. They’re put-ting their trust in nature’s way of evening out the playing field with a blanket of clean, white winter snow.

I think good garden-ing can fall somewhere in between. Putting just a little effort into tucking your gar-den in for the winter can save both time and tears later on, especially where nature has left you some wiggle room to decide for yourself what should stay and what should go.

Unless you like the look of dead ornamental grasses in the wintertime, you can cut them back to the ground now. They only have to be cut back once a year, but if you

No two gardeners have the same approach

toni grovesowin ’n’ the trowel

leave it too late, you’ll end up cutting the old stuff back along with all the new shoots. Wait until early spring, or do it now and forget about it

The same goes for Rus-sian sage. It can be cut back in the early spring or the fall down to within a few inches of the crown. Its pale, bare branches can be quite beauti-ful in a winter garden, but it’s up to you to decide whether that look is right for you.

For sure, dig up and di-vide your bulbs, gather up the slimy remains of the hostas and other herbaceous gon-ers and go ahead and use the fallen leaves of the gunnera

to use as winter mulch over its crown. Hack back your santolinas with abandon, level your dai-sies and shear the laven-ders to within an inch or two of old wood.

For now, don’t prune the fuchsias, penstemon or the roses. Do get in the habit of cleaning up beneath your rose bushes, though, especially if they suffer from black spot. Those leaves can harbor and spread diseases, so it’s best to avoid compost-ing them.

Finally, if you do nothing else in your gar-den this winter, try to keep the quack grass un-der control. If you think it goes on hiatus during the off season, you’re wrong. I’ve seen it drill its way into one side of a tulip bulb and out the other. It is relentless, and so you should be, too!

Members sought for weed board

His job title is new but his presence isn’t.

David King, after help-ing with the Coupeville High School girls basket-ball team since 2003, is now the new head coach of the program.

He takes over this fall af-ter Jackie Bykonen resigned after two years at the helm.

King first got involved with the Wolves nine years ago as a volunteer. The past two seasons he has served as the junior varsity coach.

“Over the years I’ve helped coach with four dif-ferent head coaches,” King said, “and have had the de-sire to one day take on the roll of being the head coach since helping my first year as a volunteer.”

“I have a deep passion for this game, and want to share my knowledge with

those willing to learn and compete.”

When discussing what he will emphasize with his players, he said, “It starts with defense.”

King plans to use a pres-sure man-to-man defense, then mix in some zone.

He said the Wolves will also utilize a full-court press.

Offensively, Coupeville will look to push the ball for early offense through the fast break.

“We will have some set plays, but want them to get to the point of being able to recognize what the de-fensive is giving them and make the appropriate ad-justments and attack based off of what is open,” King said.

Coupeville is coming off a year it won only two of 19 games. To head in the right direction, King said, the team will have to get back

to “the basics and funda-mentals.”

He said, “We lost our starting backcourt and key guard reserves to gradu-ation, so emphasizing the basics and fundamentals is a must.

The past few years our program relied on those re-cently graduated.

That means girls need to step up, play fundamental basketball while taking on a larger roll with the team.”

King said he hopes those who go through his system will “establish a good work ethic” and understand that “you can have fun and enjoy what you are doing along with hard work.”

He added he wants his players to be confident and, win or lose, respect team-mates and opponents.

Other familiar faces will join King along the Coupeville sideline. His wife, Amy, who was junior

varsity coach from 2002 to 2009 and a volunteer coach the past two seasons, will return as the JV coach.

Coupeville graduates Ashley Ellsworth and Brit-tany Black, plus Woodland graduate Ashley Kellison, will be volunteer coaches.

King as seen different systems at Coupeville over the years and said the lack of wins wasn’t because of lack of effort.

He said, “We need to get them to believe in what we are teaching and coaching, and they need to get to the point where they are play-ing with confidence.

“How does this happen? The coaching staff is in agreement that the culture of Coupeville basketball needs to change.”

“This will be done through hard work, gained confidence, trusting one another as a teammate and having fun doing it.”

Moving, shaking and wiggling has never been so much fun.

Hula Hoopla, the fourth annual health fair to be held at the Coupeville Elemen-tary School will show kids – and parents, too – that get-ting fit doesn’t have to feel like a bore or chore.

At this free event, kids will swing the hoop around their hips raising their heart rate and improving their cardiovascular health.

Afterwards, they will have a chance to peruse the

booths to learn more about living a healthy, active life-style.

A bookmark, which will get a sticker at each stop, will help them keep track of the places they have visited.

At one booth they will see a display of how much sugar is packed into some foods.

Kids will see the mound of sweetener that remains when the liquid is removed from a soda.

“This really blows people away,” Janie Keilwitz, event

coordinator and registered nurse at Whidbey Gener-al Hospital said about the demonstration. “They have no idea.”

Attendees will also pick up important, life saving skills such as hands-only CPR.

Every child who attends the event will get his or her own hula hoop to take home. In addition, pencils, erasers, and other prizes will be distributed.

“We need to connect with children and teach

them about healthy living,” Keilwitz said. “We can’t wait.”

This event is sponsored by Whidbey General Hos-pital and the Coupeville Elementary School Parent Teacher Association.

Supporters include the Coupeville library, the Is-land County Public Health Department, Oak Harbor Pediatric Dentistry, the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club, and the Coupeville High School Honor Society, among others.

Family Dermatology, the only full-service dermatology clinic in Coupeville, opened in October 2011.

Physician Assistant and owner, Reese Bliek, has worked in the medical field since 2000, and in the dermatology field since 2008. He is familiar with local patients and their histories, and uses his expertise to make initial evaluations and perform biopsies in the on-site lab.

The practice also employs two medical doctors specializing in dermatology. Dr. Duane Whitaker is a leading specialist in the Mohs skin-sparing procedure for challenging skin cancer surgery, and Dr. Susan Oldenkamp, who has family here on Whidbey Island, has been a practicing dermatologist in Everett since 1989. Whitaker sees surgery patients in Coupeville three days a month, and Oldenkamp visits the practice one day each week. Family Dermatology is currently looking for a third medical doctor to join its growing practice.

In addition to skin cancer treatment and surgery, the clinic offers cryotherapy, phototherapy, treatment for acne, hair and nail disorders and psoriasis. Becky Bliek manages the business, with

help from daughter Ashlee, 20. Daughter Emilee, 19, is a surgical technician and works with her father.

“That’s why we chose the name Family Dermatology,” Becky said with a smile. The Blieks have lived in Oak Harbor since 1991.

Family Dermatology sees patients of all ages, but 70 percent of their clients are people over 65.

“That seems to be when common skin problems catch up with people,” Becky said.

The practice accepts most insurance plans and offers a payment plan for patients who lack coverage.

“We want Whidbey Island patients to get their care here on the Island,” Reese said.

“We’re here to fill the need for a full-service, local, dermatology clinic,” Becky said.

Family Dermatology is located at 205 S. Main St., Bldg. B, in Coupeville. Visit the website at familydermco.com or call 360-682-5024.
