Bond supporters celebrate, new port seats chosen Megan Hansen Editor
Whidbey General Hospital bond supporters were celebrating Tuesday night as preliminary results show the bond is passing with more than a 60 percent supermajority. Initial results posted by the Island County Auditor’s Office showed the bond was passing with 61.75 percent voter approval. This is the second time the hospital district attempted to pass the $50 million bond that will be used to expand and upgrade the aging facility. “The returns so far show that well over half our community supports it (the bond) and we hope the 61.75 percent holds,” said
Trish Rose, public relations and marketing director for Whidbey General Hospital. “This is important and we’ll ensure our local community hospital is a high-quality local hospital on Whidbey.” The bond will pay for construction of a new wing that will include 39 single-patient rooms. The bonds will be paid off in 25 years and cost a property owner 32.2 cents per $1,000 assessed property value. It will cost an owner of a $250,000 home on Whidbey Island around $81 a year. In addition to the 39 in-patient rooms, plans call for transforming the current patient wing into clinic space and installing a new parking lot that will replace the one lost through construction of the new wing. “It was almost impossible to run a campaign in such a short amount of time, but this is Whidbey Island,” said Joe Mosolino, campaign committee chair. In the two races for commissioner for Port of Coupeville, Mike Diamanti was leading challenger Richard Bowen with 55.68 percent of the vote. When called for comment just after results were release Tuesday night, Diamanti said it
was good news, but that there were still more votes to be counted. He declined to comment further. Retiring executive director for Port of Coupeville, Jim Patton, was coming out behind in his race for port commissioner. He was trailing challenger Bill Larsen, who had 53.93 percent of the vote. “Voters have created a new day for Port of Coupeville,” Patton said. He said he will be happy with the new lineup in port commissioners and incoming executive director Tim McDonald. “As far as I’m concerned that’s four stars and that’s just great,” he said. Voters also approved a measure concerning the length of the term commissioners hold at the port.
Pat Powell and Dianne Binder were voted in for their uncontested seats with Town of Coupeville. Vanessa Matros, Chris Chan, Glenda Merwine and Kathleen Anderson all ran unopposed as well. Cheryl Engle was winning her bid for fire commissioner for Central Whidbey Fire with nearly 70 percent of the vote. She was running against Stanley Anderson. Island-wide, voters rejected Initiative 517 concerning initiative and referendum measures, as well as Initiative 522 calling for the labeling of genetically modified food.

Schools meet with legislators Coupeville School District superintendent Jim Shank is busy scheduling a joint meeting between the three school boards on Whidbey Island. They will use that meeting to discuss issues with State Sen. Barbara Bailey, State Rep. Norma Smith and State Rep. Dave Hayes. A date hasn’t been scheduled yet and work finding an available time for three school boards and three state legislators has been “slow,” Shank said. He said the joint meeting will provide a chance to talk with lawmakers about the affects of the previous legislative session and what staff needs to move forward.

Fundraising for a new home By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
In the past six years, the number of youth using programs at the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club has skyrocketed. So much so that leaders of the nonprofit are raising money to pay for a new building. Thanks to a donation from the Stuurmans Family, the organization has the land to construct an 8,000-squarefoot building at the end of Birch Street in Coupeville.

“The location is perfect for the club,” said volunteer Bob Clay. Clay, who is also a Coupeville Town Council member, said the proposed site is closer to the elementary school, close to the bus line and students don’t have to cross Main Street. The Boys and Girls Club in Coupeville has come a long way since opening its doors in 2006. Around 50 kids participated during the first year of the program. Currently membership tops 300 and a typical day sees around 40 youth participating in the Boys and Girls Club programs. “We don’t want to turn people away,” said Jamie Scharich, director of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club about the current space constraints. The club, which is affili-

in the building during days food is dispersed to needy families. When the new building is constructed, Gifts from the Heart will join the Boys and Girls Club in the new location. Clay said the food bank will have its own access to the new building. The new building include a technology center, teen center, a commercial kitchen as well as plenty of outdoor space. The Boys and Girls Club has to raise $1.5 million to pay for construction of the new building. Club officials have a good start reaching their goal. Currently the club has raised around $250,000. That amount includes a $53,000 donation from the Coupeville Lions Club. Clay said volunteers are looking for donors and passing the word that the club needs a new building.

The club also offers art project, sportsmanship programs, tutoring and more. To accommodate the activities, leaders also hold activities at the Coupeville Public Library and in the schools. The club opened in 2006 and operates out of what is basically a garage that comprised a fire station. When garage door is open, activities at the club often spill out onto the driveway.

Student club helps ailing mom By Sara Hansen Staff Reporter
Seven fifth-graders’ determination to help one of their ailing moms is paying off. The Breast Cancer Club, comprised of Coupeville Elementary students, raised approximately $607.92. The jars were distributed around to Oak Harbor and Coupeville businesses, including Flyers Restaurant and Brewery, Hallmark and New Image Hair Salon. When the club members came into the room to tally their efforts, they were astounded. “Oh my goodness, look how much money there is!” said club member Knight Arndt. Brooke Ausman and Coral Caveness started the club, and approached Coupeville Elementary School Counselor Dana Stone with the idea in early October. They wanted to help Brooke’s mom, who has stage four breast cancer. The fundraiser would help pay for her treatments. Donations couldn’t be collected at school, so they came up with different options to make the club work. “I thought, ‘wow,’” Stone said, “’what a neat thing for the kids to do, and how they’re thinking beyond themselves.’” By mid-November, Brooke said the group placed collection jars at businesses with the club’s mission written on them. They also made posters at school to let people know where they could find the jars. What impressed Stone most was how committed the students were to the club. Even though their first ideas didn’t work out, they were committed to make it happen. “The same seven kids stuck with it the entire time,” Stone said. “It’s been fun to see their enthusiasm an commitment.” Brooke and Coral are

Both girls are the presidents of the Breast Cancer Club they founded with other classmates. the presidents of the club, and Lily Zustiak is the vice president. Other members include Nicole BishopSipes, Daniel Olson, Lillyann Tornensis and Knight Arndt. They held meetings during recess to plan for fundraising efforts. “It’s what we wanted to do for a long time and we succeeded,” Coral said. When they set up the jars, they all had $1.50 in them to start, Coral said. Normally when you see jars around town, they only have about $10 in them. When the Breast Cancer Club jars came back full, she was excited. “I’m glad all my friends have helped,” Brooke said. Brooke said she knew some of the club members before it started, but became close friends with everyone involved. “It brought us closer together.” Coral said they are all Brooke’s best friends now. All the students joined the club because they wanted to support their friend Brooke and help her mom, but some also had their own
experiences of dealing with breast cancer in their families. Lillyann said her grandmother had breast cancer, so she wanted to help. Daniel knew people in his family who dealt with cancer, and that’s what drew him to the club, “I had a friend who had cancer and I knew it was important to help,” Lily said. Tamra Sipes, Nicole’s mother, saw her daughter working on a poster at home. When she asked her what the poster was for, Nicole explained it was for the Breast Cancer Club. Sipes said she asked if the school organized the club, and Nicole said her friends started it at recess explained the club’s goal. The level of organization surprised Sipes as her daughter explained they had officers and club members who preformed certain duties. “My mom is proud that
a lot of kids are doing this,” Nicole said. Stone said she just helped facilitate the children’s idea, and that all the work came from the kids. “The school has been fabulous,” Sipes said. “They’ve helped encouraged them throughout this experience.” After seeing what they can accomplish, the fifthgraders said they want to start helping out a charity. As the students tallied their collections, they all went up to Brooke and hugged her. “That’s awesome, Brooke,” Knight said. “Your mom is going to be so proud of you.” Knight said parents keep coming up to her and giving her a dollar here and there to help with the fundraiser. “We want to thank all the people who donated,” Coral said. “We never thought this could happen.

For seven years Boyer has been the coordinator between the Coupeville Lions Club and the Ebey’s Field School. He coordinates the volunteer wworkers for these preservation projects. This includes scheduling enough volunteers to work two shifts a day for two weeks, getting them to safety training before the project starts as well as being on site and working
every day himself. Boyer is also involved with the Ebey’s and National Park Service staff in identifying the project each year and what the work scope will include. Because of the high degree of respect Boyer has from his fellow Coupeville Lions and his great organizational skills he has been able to make a significant contribution to the preservation of historic structures in Ebey’s Reserve. He was presented the 2013 Volunteer of the Year award at the Community Potluck held at the Crocket Barn on Friday, Nov. 1

Craftiness fails during annual Snowflake party Some people really love Christmas, I mean REALLY love Christmas. A friend of mine starts listening to Christmas music around Halloween, Megan Hansen looks to start ChristSome perspective mas decorating in the beginning of November and usually has all of her trees up before Thanksgiving. Yes, I said ALL her trees. My friend, Kim ,has six Christmas trees. Every year for the last five or six years, she’s hosted an annual Snowflake Party with her close friends and family. The gist of the party is everyone gathers to make paper snowflakes, which she hangs from her living room on fishing line. Being the non-crafty person that I am, I generally try to avoid snowflake-making. This past weekend, however, I found myself in her living room folding square pieces of paper. It’s with the same people who come each time and over the years. They seem to have developed a pattern or plan. I came in blind to the seriousness that is snowflake making. My friend, Jeff, came into the house toting a backpack loaded with all of the special tools he needs complete with cutting board and razor blade kits. Another friend, Lona, researched patterns prior to the party. And here I am, haphazardly cutting little holes into the folder paper, seeing what it will turn into. There was no way I was entering the competition. Yes, there was a competition, complete with prize. This year’s competition was one-upped as one attendee started making a 3-D snowflake that required not only scissors, but tape and staples. I was screwed. While snowflake making is not my forte, nor is anything crafty for that matter, I think Kim’s love of Christmas may have rubbed off just a bit. This weekend, I have the urge to set up and decorate my Christmas tree. — Megan Hansen is editor for The Whidbey Examiner. She can be reached at mhansen@whidbeynewsgroup.com

‘Christopher’s Cares’ a roaring success Editor, This past weekend, Christopher’s on Whidbey hosted its first annual “Christopher’s Cares” fundraiser to benefit the Gifts from the Heart Food Bank, which serves Central Whidbey Island. There were many people who helped us put on this fun evening — first and foremost the band, “Hey Bulldog” — John Tristao, Kevin Johnson and Larry Mason — who generously donated their time and enormous talent with an evening of nostalgic Beatles music.
In addition, our most sincere thanks go to Beth Tristao, who helped us pack the house; our fantastic staff, who generously donated all of their tips for the evening; Penn Cove Shellfish, US Foodservice and Sysco Food Services for their culinary donations; and most of all to the community who came out for a magical evening in support of a great cause. Thanks to your generosity, we raised just under $5,500 for the food bank. We look forward to doing it again next year.

Reveling in the pleasures of a rockin’ Autumn
Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place ‘Tis autumn on the Rock, and although it’s my favorite season I also consider it a bittersweet time of year. Here’s the sweet: Nature’s amazing arrangement of falling leaves in red and gold (feel free to cue Nat King Cole singing “Autumn Leaves” on Pandora), my riding lawnmower parked until spring (hallelujah!); weeds dying on their own without my having to pull them (double hal-
lelujah!), 40-foot RVs with Canadian plates vanished from the state highway (triple hallelujah!) No back up at the Mukilteo ferry … except maybe on Sunday afternoons (quadruple hallelujah!) No waiting for a booth at Toby’s (quintuple—and loudest— hallelujah!). Here’s the bitter: The musty smell of my sweaters after months in the drawer (pee-you!); wet grass and mud tracked into the house (Swiffer time!). The misplaced fleece vest I can’t find as I head out the door with the temperature in the 40s (brrrrr!). The wool hat I forget to bring and my bald head is freezing (something else to blame on my DNA). The empty windshield washer fluid tank I discover when I press the “wash” lever and
the wipers just smear the summer’s dead bugs across the glass (damn!); the toosnug feel of my flannel shirts around my mid-section (must’ve shrunk in the wash … no way did I add a few pounds eating summer barbecue!). On crisp autumn mornings, my Bassett hound Charlotte and I enjoy long walks from the Prairie Overlook past Jacob Ebey’s house to the vista point at Admiralty Inlet. In Charlotte’s case, it’s more like one long, very intense sniff. So many smells, so little time. With earlier darkness and colder temperatures, the nocturnal critters leave more scents all over the place. Dog heaven! While Charlotte is preoccupied with her nose, I am enjoying the solitary plea-
sure of seeing my breath as I exhale. I examine the dying Canadian thistles along the path. Such a nuisance while living but so delicate and beautiful when dead. I watch the farmers below preparing their fields for winter. An old ritual but quite poetic when viewed in rhythmic slow-motion from above. When we get to the water’s edge, I admire the wafting plumes of white steam from the Port Townsend paper plant. I remind myself of the many times I have smugly corrected a tourist who tuttutted that it looked like air pollution. “Oh, for pity’s sake. Air pollution? Here? Get real!” I see a ferry crossing the inlet toward Keystone. I spot a freighter loaded with containers, headed west to the far

Take back yields 400 pounds of drugs The recent drug take back program that took place last month yielded hundreds of pounds of unwanted medications. The annual Drug Take Back Day took place Saturday, Oct. 26 where officers from the Coupeville Town Marshal’s Office, the Oak Harbor Police Department, the Island County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration teamed together to collect more than 430 pounds of unused prescription medication and other drugs that sat unused in the medicine cabinets of Whidbey Island residents, Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said in a press release. He added that a lot of narcotics that had the potential to be highly addictive were collected as well. The medications will be destroyed in accordance with federal regulations.
Coupeville alum makes a difference By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter
Jessica Boling is making a difference in Africa. Boling, who is a 2003 graduate from Coupeville High School, recently visited Cameroon as part of a research project under the auspices of a Fulbright Fellowship. She spent months in the Central African country trying to answer one question — why do community organizations tasked with treating patients with HIV/AIDS have such a tough time raising money needed to provide crucial services? Boling was sharing her research and experiences in front of a small crowd Monday night at the Coupeville Public Library. She has come a long way since she graduated from high school. She said she did what other students at Coupeville High did at the time — sports. She competed in tennis and volleyball while she excelled academically to where she was a member of National Honor Society. She rattled off a list of facts about the current situation in Cameroon; 600,000 people, about 4.3 percent of the population have the virus. Of that amount, twice as many women as men have contracted the disease and the infected populations are concentrated in urban areas of the country that has 20

Her days in Africa were spent interviewing people, supervising volunteers from other countries, website development and grant writing, as well as dealing with the everyday facets of live in Cameroon, from the humid and rainy days to the adventurous commutes that could last anywhere between 15 minutes to four hours. She worked with a collective of a dozen organizations that help with treatment for those afflicted with HIV/ AIDS. She said Cameroon has been working to fight the disease.

While studying as an undergraduate, she completed an internship in Gambia, which is an English-speaking country in Western Africa. Following her graduation, she attended graduate school at Boston College, where she earned her masters degree in social work.

to improve funding. There are challenges organizations face to run a sustainable program, Boling said. Grant money often comes with conditions, or requires an entity to provide matching money or make funds available only after conditions are met. Grants are often short-term and the availability of such sources of money is inconsistent. She also noted other challenges in Cameroon such as a lack of training on assessment tools and report writing; a lack of infrastructure in the country, and a lack of available operational dollars to pay for such things as rent.

the struggle nongovernmental organizations have raising money and she began to form her research plan. “I didn’t have an answer and I couldn’t say anything,” Boling told the crowd of about a dozen people Monday night. With the help of the Seattle University Alumni Association, she applied for a research fellowship through Fulbright. Her proposal was originally placed on a waiting list. Boling was in Korea teaching English when she learned that her project had been approved. Boling highlighted some of the food and culture of Cameroon. She also visited mountains and beaches in the country. Now that she is back home in Coupeville, Boling is planning her next steps. She will soon be moving to Milwaukee. She wants work by helping non-governmental organizations become economically sustainable.

Studying undulant fever in cattle and people
E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc Normally, when a bacterium invades your body, it’s surrounded and engulfed by a white blood cell. At least that’s what we were taught in high school biology. If all goes well, the white blood cell kills the bacterium and the infection is over: case closed. But a few bacteria have some tricks up their sleeves. One of them is the rodshaped Brucella bacterium,
the agent that causes brucellosis or what is sometimes known as “undulant fever” because it causes people to run debilitating fevers that wax and wane in intensity over long periods of time. Brucellosis is nasty stuff. Untreated, it makes people sick for years. Over time the bacteria settle in the joints where they can do real damage. Both literally and figuratively, brucellosis is a crippling disease. People don’t get the malady from people who already have it, but from farm animals like cattle and goats that are infected. Often it’s unpasteurized milk that transmits the disease. Diseases that are transmitted from animals to us are known as zoonotic maladies. “Raw milk is quite risky in terms of spreading the infection from cattle to people,” Dr. Jean Celli told me recently. Celli is a new researcher
at the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health at Washington State University. He studies brucellosis, including how it behaves in the white blood cells of animals and people. When the brucellosis bacterium is engulfed by a white blood cell, it hides inside a compartment of the cell called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER for short). Normally a white blood cell would kill a bacterium, but once one is inside the ER the white blood cell is hampered in any further response to the invader. “The brucellosis bacterium multiplies in the ER,” Celli told me. “It can also be transported by the white blood cells and spread elsewhere in the body.” On the good side, there aren’t any antibiotic resistant strains of Brucella. That helps make the malady treatable.In this country, people who are diagnosed
with the disease take antibiotics for several weeks and are generally able to put the disease behind them. But the situation is different in the developing world. In the first place, making the diagnosis is not simple. The symptoms – fever and fatigue – are the same as for other diseases, including influenza and malaria. To make a rigorous diagnosis, doctors must culture samples of blood or bone marrow. That requires good laboratory work. “And then there is the expense of several weeks worth of antibiotics,” Celli said. Even in the U.S., some people who are given antibiotics may not stick with them for the whole period over which they are prescribed. That means that some patients relapse later on down the road. “It really changes your life,” Celli said. “People who come down with the infec-
tion can be depressed for long periods as a side effect of the disease.” In short, treating and recovering from brucellosis is nothing to sneeze at. But due to our good system for pasteurizing dairy products, brucellosis is rare in this country. Outside the U.S., however, about half a million people per year are infected. If researchers could better understand how brucellosis works within cells, disease processes could be interrupted via more effective treatment. “If we knew how the brucellosis bacteria signal the white blood cells to reach the ER and what then leads the bacteria to exit infected cells and spread further, we might be able to develop medications that would stop the infection process,” Celli said. Beyond that, if research leads to a better understanding of how brucellosis works in our bodies, we might be another step closer to better

treatments of other diseases that hijack the immune system – diseases such as salmonella and tuberculosis. Even setting aside the problems the disease causes people, it’s economically significant in farm animals, especially in the developing world. Celli’s research into brucellosis is highly technical, and I’m sure it ain’t cheap. But combatting persistent diseases that affect livestock and people is the kind of investment we can make to create a better world for our children – and for the children of farmers living in the developing world. Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist at Princeton and Harvard.

Coupeville to honor veterans A ceremony to honor veterans will take place at the traditional hour Monday morning. At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month, the town of Coupeville will hold its annual Veteran’s Day ceremony. It takes place at the Veteran’s Memorial located next to the Commissioners’ Hearing Room at the county campus on Northeast Sixth Street in Coupeville. During the ceremony, volunteers will unfurl
flags representing each of the Armed Forces, the Merchant Marine as well as prisoners of war/missing in action and the United States flag. At 11:11 a.m. the nearby Methodist Church will ring the bell. Veteran’s Day is based on the date hostilities ended in World War I, Nov. 11, 1918.

takes place from 2 p.m. - 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 9 in downtown Oak Harbor.

Curtin, Etzell qualify for state tennis tournament Pair places 3rd at quads to earn trip By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
Coupeville doubles partners Aaron Curtin and Ben Etzell earned a spot in the 1A
state tennis tournament by placing third at quad-district Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the Amy Yee Tennis Center in Seattle. Since some schools play boys tennis is the spring, the state finals are May 30 and 31 in Yakima. It could be an interesting spring for Curtin and Etzell. Both play for the Coupeville baseball team, and the state baseball tournament is also
in Yakima on the same dates. Tennis coach Ken Stange said he is “hoping the baseball team goes all the way to the final four, then we can see the boys truly do it all.” Coupeville sophomore singles player Sebastian Davis also competed at quaddistrict but did not advance. Curtin, a junior, and Etzell, a senior, started quaddistrict with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4

The Coupeville pair earned a berth in the state tournament in May. win over a Charles Wright Academy pair. Stange said his duo played well in the first set, overcoming a cold, wet morning as well as their opponents. Things “went south” in the second set, Stange said, but Curtin and Etzell “came back strong in the third, balancing power with consistency.” The final set went deuce several times before the Wolves prevailed. The Coupeville pair lost to the two-time defending state champion Grenley twins of the Charles Wright Academy 6-1, 6-1 in the semi-
finals. The loss dropped Curtin and Etzell into a winner-tostate match against a Vashon pair. An early lead in the first set carried the Wolves to a 6-4 win. After dropping the first three games of the second set, they roared back to force a tie-breaker. They jumped to a 6-2 lead in the breaker and won 7-6(7-5). Like at district, Stange said, Curtin and Etzell “wanted it more.” “They worked their tails off to chase down every stray ball. They hustled. They were amped up. They bounced
back when they got down. They functioned as a single being. Now they have an opportunity to play in the state tourney,” he said. Davis lost 6-0, 6-0 in the first round to eventual tournament champion Jack Katzman of University Prep. He fell 6-2, 6-3 to a Vashon opponent in the consolation bracket. Stange said, “The experience of playing against two state qualifiers will benefit Sebastian in the future. I look forward to two more strong years with Sebastian on our team.”

Hesselgrave finished with nine tackles, Bayne eight, Schaef seven, Brett Arnold six and Anthony Bergeron five. The Wolves punted only twice, and Joel Walstad had a nice night, averaging 53.5 yards per kick. Maggio said he expects Tumblin to return for Friday’s finale, but injured linemen Carson Risner and Joey Edwards and back Lathom Kelley most likely will not play.
