Coupeville schools get new phone numbers

VOL. 19, NO. 19

Greening of Coupeville

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Thanks to a technology levy, Central Whidbey parents will have a chance to contact their children’s teachers directly without having to go through a switchboard. The Coupeville School District recently spent approximately $25,000 to install a new phone system. The new system will tie into the one being used by the Oak Harbor School District and the City of Oak Harbor. With the new phone system comes new phone numbers, which are posted on the school district’s website at www.coupeville. k12.wa.us while the old numbers will work for about a year. Bruce Roberts, information services director for the Oak Harbor School District, said plans were originally put forward to replace the phone system at the elementary school, which was old and the district had trouble getting parts to maintain it. The Coupeville School District contracts with the Oak Harbor School District for information services. In coming up with options, staff discovered that there were also complaints concerning the phone systems operated at the middle and high school as well as the district office. “We also found frustration with the district office having its own phone system and the middle and high school having its own phone system,” Roberts said. He added that staff phone calls couldn’t be transferred between buildings caused dissatisfaction among staff. They would have to dial out to call someone else in the district. Although the high school’s phone system was installed when the building was constructed several years ago, staff complained about the voice mail issues along with several other problems, prompting officials to purchase the new system districtwide. The school district budgeted between $30,000 and $35,000 for the phone system. Roberts was quick to point out some of the features of the new phones. The new system is funded by the technology levy voters first approved four years ago. Voters will again re-consider that levy

Crowds gather to celebrate holidays By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Sub-freezing temperatures couldn’t put a chill on holiday spirit Saturday. Despite temperatures under 30 degrees, hundreds of people bundled up and braved the cold during the annual Greening of Coupeville celebration. The annual event featured a parade, tree lighting, lighted boat parade and Christmas carols. The parade started at 4 p.m. and was led by Frosty the Snowman, closely followed by the Coupeville High School marching band and cheerleaders. Lyla and Phil Snover were the grand marshals for the parade. They are responsible for the snowmen that currently line the arterials of Coupeville. The parade procession included community groups such as the Gifts from the Heart food bank and their synchronized shopping

cart team; Christ the King Church’s Nativity scene; fire engines from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue; and members of Coupeville United Methodist Church. Following the parade, crowds of people walked up to the Anchorage Inn to sing Christmas carols led by Vern and Karl Olsen. Everybody then viewed the annual tree lighting display in Cook’s Corner Park that was designed by employees for the Town of Coupeville. The businesses in downtown Coupeville were open late Saturday night, which allowed shoppers to get in some holiday shopping.

They could also walk to the end of the Coupeville Wharf to view the 10 or so boats participating in the Lighted Boat Parade organized by the Oak Harbor Yacht Club. Folks will have a chance to earn some last-minute shopping dollars by attending the Red Ticket drawing, which is organized by the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association. For every $20 a shopper spends in Coupeville businesses, they will earn one red ticket. The drawing takes place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 22 on the steps of the Island County museum located on Alexander Street in downtown Coupeville.

Phones: Schools get new system From page 1 in a special election scheduled in February. If voters sign off on the technology levy, it will bring in $300,000 a year for four years that district leaders would use to pay for computer and equipment upgrades. Along with the individual phone numbers and the better voice mail system, the new

phones have enhanced 911. If a call is placed from a Coupeville School District phone, operators will see the address and room number where a call originates. The Oak Harbor School District information services staff is also familiar with the new system, which makes it easier to maintain. With the new system in place, Roberts said attempts

are underway to sell the components of the old system. The phone numbers to all of the schools and administration page are posted on the school district’s website. The administration number is 360-678-2400; Coupeville Elementary School is 6782470; Coupeville Middle and High School is 360-678-2310; and transportation is 360678-2409.

Fire truck riding Santa visits neighborhoods Jolly Saint Nicholas greets Central Whidbey residents By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Santa is trading in his sleigh for a fire engine. Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue’s Santa Mobile is winding its way through the district’s neighborhoods this month. It provides a festive way to celebrate the holiday season and inform residents about the fire district’s programs. Chad Micheal, deputy chief for Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue, said the Santa Mobile is a great way to talk to residents about programs the fire district offers. During their trips through neighborhoods, firefighters can touch upon such programs as the hands-

only CPR class the district offers or how to get a free carbon monoxide detector. “It’s an opportunity to spread some goodwill for the holidays,” Michael said. Santa will be riding atop a fire engine through the neighborhoods. Another fire district vehicle blaring Christmas carols will lead the procession to announce the arrival of the Santa Mobile. Firefighters will stop and visit homeowners throughout their trip through neighborhoods. He said the Santa Mobile will cover all neigh-

borhoods within the fire district’s boundaries. They have already visited Coupeville and participated in the parade Saturday. The Santa Mobile is moving between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. the following days: • Thursday, Dec. 12 — Parker Road, Long Point, Rhodena and Harrington • Friday, Dec. 13 — Ledgewood, Bon Air, Teronda, Ellwood Drive • Monday, Dec. 16 — Lagoon Point, Dines Point, Honeymoon Bay • Wednesday, Dec. 18 — North Bluff and Holmes Harbor • Friday, Dec. 20 — Race Road, Shangri La and Admiral’s Cove

Take precautions as temperatures start to plummet Freezing weather didn’t stop hundreds of people from enjoying this weekend’s Greening of Coupeville celebration. But it may have caused some issues for some residents in the area. In this week’s Coupeville Town Marshal blotter, sevMegan Hansen eral people reported utility Some perspective problems and frozen pipes. As the weather gets colder, remember to take precautions to protect not only your homes, but in all areas of your life including transportation. While Coupeville avoided a blanket of snow as some parts of the island received last week, freezing temperatures can cause problems on the road. Be safe as you make your way to the various holiday events that seem to flood everyone’s schedule this time of year. AAA recommends drivers keeps an emergency road kit in their vehicle. The kit should include: n Bag of abrasive material (sand, salt, cat litter) or traction mats n Snow shovel n Flashlight with extra batteries n Window washer solvent n Ice scraper with brush n Cloth or roll of paper towels n Jumper cables n Extra warm clothing (gloves, hats, scarves) n Blankets n Warning devices (flares or triangles) n Drinking water n Non-perishable snacks for both human and pet passengers n First-aid kit n Basic toolkit (screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable wrench) n Mobile phone and car charger pre-programmed with rescue apps and important phone numbers including family and emergency services Being prepared can make all the difference this winter and ensure a safe and happy holiday season. — Megan Hansen is editor for The Whidbey Examiner.

Town Thanksgiving is not just for needy Editor, I’m a former Coupevillian now living on the mainland. I read and enjoy The Whidbey Examiner online. I have been following Harry Anderson’s column and know he’s an excellent writer. I just read the Thanksgiving column and am happy to see that he took on a pressing problem that does, as he noted, too often go unnoticed on the island — poverty. I do, however, want to make one small correction. I attended the Thanksgiving dinner in Rec Hall more than once and still have fond memories of those occasions. The Thanksgiving potluck is a wonderful community event and not intended only for those who are alone or can’t afford dinner otherwise. It’s a big family event with friends

and neighbors. Many people who attended, like me, were not alone nor living in poverty. It’s important to recognize the community aspects of a place like Coupeville. It’s one of the greatest things about that dear former home of mine.

Holly class aided in noxious weed lesson Editor, Murphy’s Law says, no one gets sick on Wednesdays – too far from weekends. But when they had a chance to skip outdoor work because Dec. 7 dawned at 17 degrees Fahrenheit, the Friends of South Whidbey State Park showed up in impressive numbers to work — and it was Saturday!

In what may become the first annual Holly Day, about 30 volunteers uprooted invasive holly plants in the park, turned them into wreaths and sprays, and enjoyed warm fellowship along the way. They also learned why holly is a noxious weed here, how to distinguish it from Oregon grape (a native lookalike), and how to dispose of it when the wreaths and swags have served their purpose, burn or bag for disposal, but don’t compost or toss back into the woods where they can germinate more little hollies. My hat is off to the wonderful volunteers of the friends, alongside about 20 others from the Calyx Community Arts School and Service Education and Adventure, who shared a job joyfully joined and delightfully done. Thanks, one and all for living the spirit of the season.

Fletcher Davis, President Friends of S. Whidbey State Park

Wonky alarm cancels ferry sailing out of Coupeville Ferry officials were forced to cancel a sailing Monday evening on the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry route. Marta Coursey, spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries, said the Salish had a faulty alarm, which the crew was able to quickly repair. Officials still had to cancel the 4:30 p.m. sailing out of Coupeville. The ferry ran late on the 5:15 p.m. sailing out of Port Townsend and the 6 p.m. sailing out

of Coupeville as a result., she said. The Salish ran approximately 40 minutes behind schedule for the remainder of the evening. When the ferry out of Coupeville is canceled, motorists are left with the lengthy trip of taking the Clinton ferry and then the Edmonds/Kingston ferry to travel to the Olympic Peninsula.

Obituary

Yvonne Billera

Yvonne T. Billera died suddenly on Nov. 30, 2013 from complications of a ruptured colon. She was born in 1950 in New York to Jeanne Beck, originally from England, and Christopher Trytko from Poland. Raised as an only child, Yvonne spent her childhood cultivating long-term friendships and developing a passion for riding horses. Although starting out as an art history major at College of New Rochelle, she finished as an English major. Yvonne worked for 19 years at College of New Rochelle, having been recruited by the college as one of the young-

est administrators ever hired. She was vice president of administration specializing in fundraising by the time she left. She met Franklin in 1986 and, soon thereafter, decided to retire early and feed their passion for sailing. They bought a large yacht that became their home for six years and explored the eastern seaboard from Maine, throughout the Caribbean, to the northern shores of South America. The couple moved to Whidbey in 1995, drawn to the west because Franklin’s son, Tony, and family were living in the area. Yvonne immediately became active with Whidbey Animal Improvement Foundation, helping re-home many dogs and cats and acting as President for several years. She rekindled her love of horses by becoming involved in jumping, eventing, trail riding and dressage. She worked at Moonraker Books in Langley for about 14 years, assisting many of us to find our favorite books. She was a great cook and generously shared her recipes. Yvonne often commented on her fortunate life — feeling luckier than most. She loved, enjoyed and

Food service and clerical workers at Whidbey General Hospital got an early Christmas present. They are receiving a small pay increase thanks to a new three-year contract the Whidbey General Hospital Board of Commissioners approved during their Monday night meeting. Whidbey General Hospital Chief Operating Officer Hank Hanigan rattled off some details of the contract between the hospital and the approximately 190 employees represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. That union represents the hospital’s food service and clerical workers along with engineers and environmental technicians. The workers will receive a 0.75 percent increase the

first year of the contract, a 0.5 percent increase the second year and a 0.75 percent increase the third year, Hanigan said during the meeting. The pay raise for the first year is retroactive to July, 2013, when the previous contract expired. A representative from the UFCW union couldn’t be reached for comment. Hanigan during the meeting highlighted several other details of the contract. In addition to the pay increase, employees will be compensated if they work through their breaks. There is language in the new contract that if an employee works consecutive weekends in unexpected situations outside their normal scheduled shifts, then they will be paid time and a half. If they have to work on their day off, they will be paid a

The contract will also require staff to re-evaluate the number of clerical groups classified in the document.

Hospital software cause bill struggles By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Hangups in a new electronic records system caused delays in billings and reduced the amount of cash available at Whidbey General Hospital. Hospital officials said they are expecting to spend more than $7.5 million implementing an electronic records system provided by Meditech that originally went online in May. When the new system went live, staff had to deal with an abnormally slow billing process, hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose said in an email. “As issues were identified, they were fixed, but months passes as we worked through system and process bottlenecks and cash on-hand declined to critical levels while our accounts receivable climbed,” Rose said. Whidbey General Hospital hadn’t had an electronic records system prior to Meditech. Hospital leaders had to purchase a medical system as a requirement of the Affordable Patient Care Act. If the hospital didn’t install such a system, then it would face a $50,000 penalty in 2015 plus a $550,000 reduction of Medicare/ Medicaid reimbursements. The glitch caused by the new system caused delays in the bills patients receive; however no accounts were sent to collection and hospital officials gave a grace period and extended pay-

ment plans, public relations liaison Keith Mack said in an email. Patient care wasn’t affected. Rose said that once billing process started working, coders and billers started sending out millions of dollars worth of bills in a few weeks. “They did an outstanding job and continue to work the backlog of charges and bills,” Rose said. She said cash flow into the hospital has been restored, but it will take months to recover. During this time, administrators will be as conservative as possible in regards to overtime, supplies, staffing, travel and education. The billing snafu caused cash problems for the hospital. Mack said that at the lowest point, the hospital had two-and-a-half days worth of cash on hand. The Whidbey General Hospital board in the fall approved a $4 million line of credit and, of that amount, the hospital drew $2 million. The number of days worth of cash increased to 12.2 days and cash receipts are continuing to increase. Mack said the hospital will pay back the line of credit in the next four months. In addition to the work getting the hospital’s books in order, Rose said staff has to prepare for another update that will take place in March. That needs to be done in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act.

Some big bulbs can make a big splash of color in winter toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel

I love this time of year: the colorful decorations and fragrant evergreen swags, the wreaths and holly, the little lights twinkling like tiny stars on trees and in windows, and the festive joviality that spurs even the most circumspect of us to hang mistletoe above our heads and wait for the next best thing to Gary Cooper to blow into town. There’s something about it all that remains for me both joyful and cheery, something that says “home” and all the safety and comfort that word implies. Maybe the Holiday Season means something else entirely for you, something that has nothing to do with the traditions of any culture

or any particular religion. Perhaps it’s just a peaceful time to take stock, or hunker down with seed catalogues and wait for the forsythia to eventually bloom. Whatever your persuasion, creed, viewpoint, or doctrine, you’re still a gardener and you shouldn’t miss a chance to enjoy one of the most spectacular flowers to be found outside of a hothouse this time of year – the amaryllis. Every year around this time, department stores push these enormous bulbs with their equally enormous lily-like blooms. They often come in a box that includes a pot and some potting mix, and all one needs to do is add water and wait four to six weeks for the magic to happen. They like to be rootbound and want a pot that’s just a few inches wider than the bulb, which makes it convenient to fit everything in the box them come in. When you plant it, leave the top third of the bulb above the soil, water it well

and then don’t water it again until the soil dries out. They do get terribly top heavy, so put a stake in the pot to eventually tie the stem to. The pots they normally come with are usually plastic and not very heavy, so I’d suggest you put yours in a heavier pot from the getgo, or place the plastic pot inside a heavier pot to keep it upright. You’ll be glad you did because they only fall over when you’re not there to catch them. Just make sure you’ve got good drainage. If properly cared for, they’re well worth the price and for very little effort. Even though these bulbs, which have been cultivated primarily for use as indoor ornamentals in the northern hemisphere, are in the Amaryllidaceae plant family, they’re in the genus Hip-

Page 7

peastrum and originated in South America. Bulbs in the Amaryllis genus are similar, can be grown year round outdoors in USDA Zone 8, have a solid stem versus the hollow stem of Hippeastrum, and hail from South Africa. Usually, if someone is talking about amaryllis in the winter time, they’re talking about Hippeastrum. If they’re talking about belladonna lily or naked ladies in the summer time, they’re taking about Amaryllis belladonna. Which isn’t a lily and doesn’t have anything to do with Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade). Confused yet? I know I am. After that explanation, I hope you have some eggnog on hand to help clear your head – or make it pleasantly more fuzzy.

First-game jitters, Blaine stop Wolves boys b-ball team First-game nerves contributed to a slow start for the Coupeville High School boys basketball team in its 84-50 loss at Blaine Saturday, Dec. 7. The Wolves had trouble taking care of the basketball, and the Borderites — especially Josiah Westbrook — had little trouble converting the mistakes into points. Westbrook scored 22 second-quarter points on the way to 27 for the half to lead the Blaine blitz. The Borderites went up 22-12 in the first quarter and put the game away by outscoring the Wolves 28-10 in the second period behind a flood of turnovers. Blaine’s burst was aided by frequent trips to the foul line, owning a 16-4 edge in first-half fouls. The Wolves eventually lost three players with five fouls. Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said “some of the guys were a bit nervous” and it took a few quarters for his players to settle down; the Wolves went on to outscore Blaine 17-15 in the third quarter. Because of foul trouble, Coupeville was forced to shift to a zone defense in the second quarter and Westbrook drained threes and slashed to the basket. “He was shooting from 30 (feet),” Smith said. Westbrook ended up with 29 points, including four three-pointers, and seven assists. Teammate Shaq Williams added 23 points and 10 rebounds. Smith, who saw Blaine play the previous night, said, “I honestly thought we could beat these guys. We just need to execute better.” “We did some good things, but we need to do them on a more consistent basis,” Smith added. The Wolves ran the break well at times, Smith said, and he liked the play of Matt Shank and Morgan Payne. “Shank played a nice second half,” Smith said, and “Payne played a good floor game.” The Wolves will look at the game film and make adjustments, Smith said. “We will work hard and get better.” “We will regroup,” Smith added. “We need some kids to step up and lead.” Nick Streubel scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Coupeville. Wiley Hesselgrave added 11 points, Payne eight, Shank six, Joel Walstad five, Aaron Trumbull four and Anthony Bergeron two. Coupeville hosts Lakewood (1-1) 6:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13.

Extra work session leads to win for Coupeville girls hoop team By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

The Coupeville High School girls basketball team’s willingness to work paid early dividends as the Wolves defeated visiting Meridian 4634 Saturday, Dec. 7. The night before, Cedar Park Christian-Bothell stopped the host Wolves 4939. After the loss, the Coupeville players asked coach David King if they could come in early Saturday to sharpen their skills for that afternoon’s game with Meridian. The morning session primed Coupeville for its nonleague win over the Trojans, King said, and displayed the team’s excellent work ethic. “They are a great group of girls,” King said. Meridian, with the help of a rash of Coupeville turnovers, led 10-8 after one quarter. The Wolves took the lead for good at the beginning of the second quarter on two free throws by Makana Stone and a bucket by Amanda Fabrizi. Those scores plus two free throws by Julia Myers, three by Fabrizi and six points by Hailey Hammer contributed to a 15-2 run. The Coupeville defense limited the Trojans to only two points for the first 6:15 of the second quarter, but another knot of turnovers allowed Meridian to score eight points in the final 1:45 to cut the lead to 23-20 at the half. Hoops by Fabrizi, Bree Messner (off an assist by Stone) and Madeline Strasburg pushed the gap to 29-20 in the first two minutes of the third quarter, and Coupeville stayed in front 33-26 heading into the final frame. A three-point basket and a steal and layup by Fabrizi opened the fourth quarter and a 12-point lead. Meridian never got closer than 10 points the rest of the way. Fabrizi led all scorers with 13 points. Hammer finished

in with her first varsity points with a first-quarter field goal. Stone had a fine allaround game, pulling down

an impressive 18 rebounds and adding six blocks. Myers also had three blocks. Strasburg had seven steals and Messner six as the Wolves forced 18 turnovers. Coupeville committed 32 turnovers. Riley Zapien led the Trojans with 11 points. Meridian (1-1) up-ended South Whidbey 27-23 Wednesday, Dec. 4. Cedar Park Christian (1-0) jumped on Coupeville early and then hit 15 of 24 four-quarter free throws to hang on. The Eagles limited the Wolves to seven points in the first quarter and a paltry four in the second to go up 12-7 and 22-11 at the end of the periods. Four three-pointers by four different players helped Cedar Park Christian to the half-time lead. King said his club struggled with first-game jitters but settled in and challenged CPC in the second half. Six points by Strasburg and two each from Fabrizi, Myers and Stone helped Coupeville cut the deficit to 30-23 heading into the last period. The Eagles were just 2-for7 at the line before the fourth period but secured the game with its foul shooting over the final eight minutes. Meanwhile, Coupeville hurt itself by not connecting on its free chances, making only four of 18. Strasburg, who hit two three-pointers, paced Coupeville with 16 points. Stone and Fabrizi had six each, Messner five, Kiel three, Myers two and Wynter Thorne one. The Eagles’ Laura Goodnight scored a game-high 18 points, including hitting seven of 10 fourth-quarter free throws. Madison Parmenter added 10 points, six from the line. Coupeville (1-1) goes to Lakewood (1-1) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13.
