Rec hall to get new furnace

A lifetime of history New documentary shares cemetery history

Coupeville Town Council OK’d a $14,000 expenditure to replace the furnace at Coupeville Recreation Hall.

The furnace went out recently and the town is currently heating the public meeting location with space heaters.

Mayor Nancy Conard said the town knew it would go out eventually and the council set aside a budgeted $6,000 for replacement when it was needed.

During last week’s regular council meeting Conard told council she went for bid with two vendors and both recommended using a newer duct system.

The current furnace has one heat register near the men’s bathroom that heats the

Leaders at Whidbey General Hospital are looking for someone to coordinate construction of a new wing.

Officials winnowed through applications for the construction project manager who will oversee the project, which is financed through the recently-approved $50 million bond.

“It’s really important that we get through this process as quick as we can,” Whidbey General Hospital board member Ron Wallin said during the Dec. 9 board meeting.

Hospital Public Relations Liaison Keith Mack said in an email that the candidate, which could either be a company or an individual, should have experience managing large-scale healthcare construction and they will manage the hospital’s interests throughout the project.

He said he doesn’t have any salary information for the position. That amount

Members of Coupeville’s historical community gathered Monday evening to celebrate the release of a new historical documentary and volunteers who keep history thriving in Central Whidbey.

The Island County Historical Society held the release party for “Sunnyside Cemetery: Where Central Whidbey Sleeps,” a 31-minute documentary narrated by local historian Roger Sherman.

The documentary features stories and images of some of the pioneers resting in Central Whidbey, as told by the descendants of their friends and families.

Featured interviews include Roger, Al and Dale Sherman; Joanne Engle Brown; and Theresa Trebon.

During the celebration, Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Society, presented Roger Sherman with the first-ever Lifetime Historian Award for his longtime contributions to the society.

Sherman is well known in the community for his knowledge of local history and holds

a cemetery tour for the public a couple times a year. Proceeds from the tour go back to the historical society.

Castellano also took time to recognize the many volunteers who help in various capacities to keep the society and museum operational.

Guests were able to purchase copies of the new documentary at the event, but were also treated to a screening.

Earle Darst, a founding member of the historical society, read a historical poem prior to the screening.

DVDs are for sale at the museum located at the corner of Alexander and Front streets.

Cost is $21.99 plus tax with proceeds going back to the museum.

New student board member starts term in Coupeville

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A new student was named as student representative to the Coupeville School Board Monday.

The Coupeville School Board selected Marisa Etzell to the position being vacated

by Heni Barnes.

“I’m willing to try something new,” Etzell said.

She is a junior at Coupeville High School where she has a 3.98 grade point average. In school, she is a founding member of the Leo Club, participated in the Science Olympiad and competes in track and soccer in which she has earned multiple letters.

She also is active in the community as well. She volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters, Gifts from the Heart Food Bank and Hearts and Hammers. She teaches Sunday School and is an aide for the Lions Club swim program.

Etzell has held a number of leadership positions including vice president of the Leo

Club and she is also the vice president of the ASB. She participated in the North Cascades Institute’s Youth Leadership Adventure Summer Program and the Henry M. Jackson Leadership Conference.

During the Monday evening meeting, the school board members questioned Etzell about why she wanted to apply for the position, how she will serve students and her goals.

She learned about the position through her work as an office aide. She submitted a resume, cover letter, the recommendation letters from three teachers.

She said she’ll learn about student issues through talking with fellow classmates and communicating through social media.

When school board members asked if she could meet the commitment to attend the school board meetings, Etzell said she has the dates penciled in to her calendar.

“It’s just a pleasure to have you become a member of our board,” school board president Kathleen Anderson said during the meeting.

Volunteers are laying the groundwork to promote two school levies going before Central Whidbey voters in February 2014.

Coupeville School District leaders are asking voters to renew an operations levy and a technology levy, both of which have to be approved by a simple majority.

Superintendent Jim Shank outlined recent activities undertaken by the Friends of Coupeville Public Schools, the volunteer group tasked with promoting the levies to Coupeville’s residents.

san Armstrong are co-chairs of the committee and Dawn Hesselgrave is the treasurer.

Shank said the group has filed its paperwork with the state Public Disclosure Commission and volunteers have raised $1,300 with an addition $300 on the way.

The volunteer group is preparing brochures and signs while letters to the editor will start appearing in area newspapers starting in January.

A Facebook page will be set up and volunteers will forego using a phone bank this time. Shank said phone banks haven’t been successful since it’s difficult to find cell phone numbers.

The Coupeville School

District is sending two levy proposals to voters during a Feb. 11 special election.

Both proposals will continue existing levies at current levels.

The operations levy will bring in $2.24 million a year for the next four years. The levy is a significant portion of the district’s $10 million budget.

The technology levy funds $300,000 a year for the next four years. That levy will help pay for upgrades to the school district’s computers. Voters first approved the technology levy four years ago.

Shank said emails have been sent out to community groups such as the Lions Clubs, churches and the chamber of commerce to schedule presentations about the levy.

He added that a rally will take place in late January to help garner support.

Island County cited for unfair labor practice

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A hearing examiner with the state Public Employment Relations Commission ruled this week that Island County officials violated state law by withholding budget documents and other records sought by the deputy’s sheriff’s labor union.

The county was ordered to produce the records and was cited with an “unfair labor practice” finding, according to a statement from Guild attorney Jim Cline.

Deputy Darren Crownover, the guild president, said county officials will have to admit the unfair labor practice in a statement read into the record during a county commissioners’ hearing, as well as post statements in the workplace admitting to the violation.

The ruling represents another chapter in the increasingly contentious contract negotiations between the deputies and the county.

The deputies’ contract expired at the end of 2008 and is heading towards arbitration, though a hearing was cancelled because of the dispute over budget documents.

County officials can appeal the decision, but Crownover said he is hoping they won’t so arbitration can move forward.

Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said a decision about whether to appeal hasn’t been made.

She defends the county’s position, saying there was miscommunication about what the Guild wanted in its broad public records request.

“I have a different interpretation of the facts that they do,” she said, referring to guild leaders. “I respect their viewpoint, but I feel some of the personal attacks of our employees are unfair, unfounded and uncalled for.”

In its latest press release, the Guild’s is critical of Budget Director Elaine Marlow, claiming that the Hearing

Examiner called Marlow’s testimony “contradictory,” “unreliable” and “not credible.”

Marlow did not return a call for comment by press time.

In October, the Guild release a statement saying county officials don’t understand their own budget and demanded that the county retain an outside budget expert before any labor negotiations continue.

The Guild also filed a public records lawsuit, which is pending in Snohomish County Superior Court.

The county commissioners responded to the guild’s statement, written by Cline, with a statement to the Whidbey News-Times.

“The claims made in Mr. Cline’s letter are untrue, distorted, or greatly exaggerated. His letter creates an inaccurate public perception of the status of the negotiations, rather than a serious proposal to the county,” the commissioners’ said in their response.

At the heart of the matter is the county’s finances — whether it can afford to pay the deputies salaries and benefits similar to those in comparable counties. The Guild argues that county officials’ claim of financial hardship is untrue given a large reserve fund.

The Guild claims that the county was hiding the fact — whether through deception or incompetence — that the reserve fund was at 45 percent, while the norm is around 20 percent.

Since budget documents weren’t forthcoming from the county, Crownover said, the Guild hired an expert to look at financial information from state sources. The expert came to the realization about the size of the reserve.

Not long afterward, Island County Commissioner

Commissioner starts another term

Jill Johnson made the same realization.

She convinced fellow commissioners and law-andjustice officials to nix a proposal to ask voters to raise property taxes to increase funding to the sheriff’s office and other law-and-justice offices.

Instead, she said, the county should use some of its reserve to replace some of the cuts instead of increasing taxes.

Next year, the sheriff’s office will get four new deputies and one corrections deputy.

In August, the commissioners reported that the reserve fund is at $9 million, which is 41 percent of the county’s $22-million operating budget. Revenues outpaced expenditures by $1.6 million in 2011, $1.9 million in 2012 and this year’s projection are for a minimum of $1.5 million.

Johnson never claimed anyone was hiding the information about the reserve fund, but said she just didn’t ask the right questions.

She said she hopes to work on how budget information is presented in the future so that the fund balance and reserves are clearer.

Investing in new rec hall furnace is a smart decision There aren’t a whole lot of spaces in Central Whidbey that can accommodate larger meeting groups and events.

A majority of community gatherings seem to be held at Coupeville Recreation Hall.

With its open space, kitchen and bathroom facilities, and central location, the rec hall is an ideal location.

Megan Hansen Recently the furnace went Some perspective out at the rec hall. Town council had $6,000 set aside for replacement, but approved last week to spend $14,000 on replacement.

Mayor Nancy Conard asked council to approve a higher expenditure to cover the cost of an entirely new system.

Anyone who’s been in the rec hall during the winter knows it’s not the warmest place to be.

It usually takes some time to heat the space with the one existing heat register and most people come prepared with a coat when attending meetings or events there in the winter.

The towns approval of installing a more efficient system is a great decision.

The rec hall is an asset to this community, a widelyused and appreciated asset.

We’re lucky to have it.

The town has the extra funds to cover the expense, so why not? Purchasing a better system is not only an investment back into the building, but an investment to the community. ### On a side note, don’t forget to attend the Red Ticket Drawing, 1 p.m. Sunday outside the Island County Historical Museum.

Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association will be drawing winners, the grand prize being a $1,000 check.

Also, The Whidbey Examiner in partnership with the Coupeville Library, will announce the winners of the Gingerbread Challenge.

Winners will be chosen for best adult, child and people’s choice.

Prizes were donated by local businesses — Coupeville Coffee and Bistro, Collections and Honeybear There are many great entries on display now. Try to get down there to vote prior to Saturday morning if you haven’t already.

Newspaper’s OLF is a coverage disservice Editor, While I have enjoyed keeping up with our community for at the last 22 years I find that The Whidbey Examiner under the new editor is doing a disservice to central Whidbey. The paper is becoming a “fluff” paper.

It is difficult enough that we have to have three different newspapers owned by the same publishing company which further divides us geographically, politically and psychologically but many articles are written by the same reporters with a slightly greater nod to North Whidbey.

For The Whidbey Examiner to continue to ignore major issues regarding the impact the Outlying Field has on its

readers, the lack of uniform noise disclosure and the major positive impact that The Pickard Family has had on our community is detrimental to the quality of the reportage and is a disservice to our citizens. It is time for this newspaper to do a little hard work, do some research and serve its readers better.

Tree rings speak to ancient climate change OBITUARY

E. Kirsten Peters Rock Doc On a lark, when I was a college student I took a class in field biology. It sounded romantic and I was young, so even though it didn’t really make any sense for a geology student to take the senior level class in another discipline, I was there bright and early on the first day of the semester.

One week everyone in the course walked to a grove of old hardwood trees near the edge of campus. We had “boring tools” — drills with long, hollow bits — with us.

The idea was to sink the bit into the trunk of the tree.

When the bit reached the

middle of the tree, we used a narrow spatula to extract a thin “dowel” of wood from within the hollow bit.

These elegant little samples give you access to the life history of the tree as recorded in its growth rings.

As every school child knows, counting the rings tells you how old the tree is.

But some samples of trees can tell you much more than age. That’s because some trees live in difficult environments. They grow best only when there is a good year in terms of precipitation, temperature, and the like, so they have growth rings that are quite uneven.

Some rings are thick, representing good years for growth, while others are quite thin from when times were tough for the tree. This means that tree rings can tell us about variations in past weather and climate.

In the southwest U.S., a lot of work has been done with tree rings. Indeed, the whole science of what’s called dendrochronology was worked out in that region in the early and mid-20th centu-

ry. But since then, scientists around the world have also used basic ideas about tree rings to do several different things.

Earlier this year, National Geographic Daily News ran a story about dendrochronologists in New Zealand. In the 1980s a researcher named John Ogden and his students started what has become a truly significant tree ring record.

By matching the thinthick-thin patterns of wood samples taken from kauri trees of varying ages, they started to establish a chronology for the local area.

More recently, dendrochronologist Gretel Boswijk has been updating and extending that record. The kauri trees of New Zealand include some quite old individuals.

Using living trees and wood from buildings, Boswijk was able to record the patterns in the wood going back to the 1200s.

Using wood found in old — even ancient — buildings is a clever approach on the part of the tree-ring crowd.

Here in the U.S., dendro-

chronologists were able to date the age of the Pueblo Bonito civilization in New Mexico.

They did this by matching the old parts of living trees with the younger parts of the ancient samples in ruins, thus extending the record back in time.

Happily, archaeological samples are not the only ancient wood available. In parts of New Zealand there are swamps that preserve kauri trees that have fallen into the muck and been sealed off from air. Using those samples, Boswijk and people working with her were able to establish a record going back nearly 4,500 years.

That’s a great record of local conditions over a long period of time, going back pretty far into what geologists call the Holocene Epoch.

Anthony Fowler, who works with Boswijk at New Zealand’s Tree-Ring Laboratory, specializes in looking at climate change, with part of his interest being how climate change has been recorded in tree samples.

Specifically, some of the information he can deduce from the patterns of tree-ring widths in New Zealand relate to El Niños — the recurring weather patterns related to changing ocean temperatures in the Pacific. Looking at the evidence of the wood samples, Fowler has determined that El Niños in the southern hemisphere have been getting more intense in the last 500 years. We don’t yet know why that might be the case, but that’s the evidence given to us by the trees.

It’s impressive what specialists can deduce from simple samples of wood, both living and ancient. It will be interesting to see what other natural secrets can be decoded with the help of tree rings.

Flight operations to resume at OLF starting in January 2014 Whidbey Island Naval Air Station plans to resume flight operations at Outlying Field Coupeville in January 2014.

Residents living in Coupeville and around the OLF should anticipate an increase in jet noise due to pilots conducting landing practices in preparation for combat deployments around

the world.

The practice tempo is driven by the Fleet Replacement Squadron student training curriculum and predeployment carrier EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler squadron flight qualifications. It can also fluctuate due to weather, maintenance and operational requirements.

The Navy makes every effort to balance the impact on the communities that support our military with required training that ensures the safe performance of the mission. EA-6B and EA-18G Flight operations for both Ault Field and OLF Coupeville are planned to be consistent with the 2005 Environmental Assessment

for the EA-18G with annual operations projected at 6,120 flight operations at OLF Coupeville.

Flight schedules for OLF Coupeville will continue to be released weekly for community planning purposes.

Born Beverly Fletcher on March 7, 1925 in Minneapolis, Minn., she married Robert Chinnock at the age of 20. The young couple moved their four small children to Coupeville in 1952, when Robert was assigned to Whidbey Naval Air Station.

The family enjoyed the rural life of this small town, growing their own veggies; raising livestock; and playing an active role in the school, Methodist church and 4-H clubs.

Robert retired from the U.S. Navy and went to work for the Army in 1963, taking the family to Utah, then New Mexico and Las Vegas. After Robert passed away in 1986 and daughter Laurel followed in 1994, Beverly moved to Burien to be close to her surviving daughters Dian and Bonny, and son Marc, who lives in Chase, B.C. She had 14 grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren, and is also survived by her brother Will Fletcher and his two daughters.

Location: To be announced Cost: $50 History of Ebey’s Landing No landscape in Western Washington preserves such direct connections to as many layers of the state’s history as Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. This 6-week course will study exactly why that is, focusing on the first contact era of European exploration, the arrival of the earliest American settlers, the establishment of the new territory and state, and the strong cords that connected Whidbey Island to the “parent country” – the United States – in the east. All these strands will be explored in primary documents (letters, journals, newspapers and official documents of the times) so we can hear the voices of our ancestors first hand.

Instructor: Lynn Hyde is the Education and Outreach Coordinator with Ebey’s LNH Reserve. A former high school teacher in Seattle, she joined the Reserve staff after three years as an educator at historic sites in Concord, Mash. She’s prepared to help make the connections between local history and the great American narrative.

Boys looking for more than moral victories

By Jim Waller Staff reporter

Close losses just aren’t cutting it any more, according to Coupeville High School boys basketball coach Anthony Smith.

The Wolves need wins, not moral victories, Smith said, after his club fell 52-47 to visiting Lakewood Friday, Dec. 13, and 65-55 to visiting University Prep Saturday.

The Wolves also lost at home to Cedarcrest 66-26 Dec. 10.

Coupeville suffered through a handful of onesided losses the past two sea-

sons and just being close was a positive.

Not anymore, Smith said.

“I am proud of the way my kids battled,” Smith said, “but we have to execute on offense better.”

The two games last weekend followed different paths.

Lakewood built an early lead and then weathered a furious Coupeville rally in the fourth quarter.

University Prep and Coupeville battled through three close quarters before the Pumas pulled away late.

Lakewood ran to a 20-10 first-quarter lead behind 10 points from Ryan Alford.

The lead was 29-21 at the break and 42-30 heading into the final quarter.

Fueled by eight points

by Wiley Hesselgrave and four from Nick Streubel, the Wolves came roaring back but couldn’t quite catch the Cougars (1-1, 2-2).

Hesselgrave scored a season-high 17 points, Morgan Payne had nine, Joel Walstad eight, Anthony Bergeron six, Streubel six and Matt Shank one.

On paper, the University Prep-Coupeville matchup looked lopsided. The Pumas entered with a 3-1 record, but the Wolves were not intimidated.

University Prep went up 14-13 in the first quarter; the gap was still one, 29-28, at the half.

A four-minute span, starting with two minutes left in the third quarter, and two UP players swung the game in the Pumas’ favor.

A three-point play by Hesselgrave cut the margin to 40-39, then Treon Triggs hit three field goals, two from beyond the arc, and the Pumas led 48-41 going into the fourth quarter.

Max Gregg drained a trio of threes in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter and UP led 57-43. The Wolves would get no closer than 11 the rest of the way.

Bergeron played a solid game for Coupeville and led the Wolves with 16 points.

Walstad had nine points, Shank eight, Trumbull seven, Payne six, Streubel five, Hesselgrave three and Gabe Wynn one.

Smith said UP “pushed us to the limit; the kids didn’t back down.”

Coupeville’s Aaron Trumbull beats University Prep’s Joe Walker up the sideline Saturday.

As the game progressed, the two clubs became chippy, which disappointed Smith: “We got caught up in some things and the boys lost focus.”

Against Cedarcrest, Coupeville came roaring out of the gate in the first quarter but sputtered through the final three.

The Wolves sped to a 6-0 lead and trailed by only four, 18-14, at the end of the first quarter.

That was pretty much it for the Wolves. The Red Wolves buried the home team 27-3 in the second period, and Coupeville would score only 12 points the rest of the way.

Bergeron led Coupeville

with eight points, seven rebounds, two blocks and a steal. Trumbull added four points; Payne, Streubel, Walstad and Wynn had three each; and Hesselgrave collected two.

Coupeville (0-2, 0-4) ferries to Orcas Island (0-2) at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20.

Tough defense carries Coupeville girls team to win After its defense staked it a goodsized lead, the Coupeville High School girls basketball team hung on tight at the end to secure 35-31 win at Lakewood Friday, Dec. 13.

The win helped take some of the sting out of a 77-27 loss at Cedarcrest Dec. 10.

The Wolves limited Lakewood to 14 points through the first three quarters and took a 12-point lead into the final frame.

Lakewood rallied for 17 fourthquarter points and sliced the gap to three with seven seconds left when Maddi Strasburg hit a free throw to lock up the win.

Coupeville used a full-court press and sticky man-to-man defense to frustrate the Cougars for three quarters.

Hoops by Hailey Hammer, Julia

Myers and Strasburg pushed the Wolves to a 6-4 first-quarter lead.

In the second quarter, Hammer produced two steals and Amanda Fabrizi, Bree Messner and Strasburg one each to haunt the Cougars.

Makana Stone and Hammer scored four points apiece to lift the lead 1610 going into the half.

The Coupeville offense picked up another 10 points in the third period, getting four from Stone and a nice bucket off on the press break from Strasburg to Hammer to Monica Vidoni.

Lakewood (0-2, 0-4) accelerated its pressure and began crashing the boards in the fourth quarter. The result was Coupeville turnovers and extra opportunities, which sparked the Cougars’ comeback.

The Wolves also hurt themselves

by shooting poorly at the line in the fourth.

Strasburg, however, hit the clincher to set the final score. Lakewood had two possessions in the last seven seconds but turned the ball over each time.

Not all was bad for Coupeville in the fourth. King liked the play of his offense: “We didn’t rush our offense like we have in the past. Things are starting to click up and down the roster.”

In recapping the game, King said, “We are sharing the ball really well on offense; on any given game someone new may step up and lead us. Our guards, led by Bree and Maddi when they are playing the point, have improved their decision making and are seeing the floor better.”

He also praised the play of junior Myers, who hasn’t played basketball since the eighth grade: “(She) is improving each day. She is asking all the right questions, and having her speed, jumping and willingness to learn are making us a better team.”

Stone and Strasburg scored nine points each, Hammer had seven, Myers four, Messner two, Kacie Kiel two and Vidoni two.

Stone also collected 11 rebounds (seven on offense), five steals and three blocks.

Kiel added seven rebounds and four assists, and Messner grabbed four offensive rebounds.

At Cedarcrest, not much went right after the first four minutes.

“Our execution disappeared and we started throwing the ball away,” King said. “These turnovers were

converted into fast breaks.”

The second quarter was a disaster for Coupeville as Cedarcrest (1-0, 3-1) outscored the Wolves 23-7 to make it 44-17. Kalee Fowler did most of the damage, scoring 16 of her game-high 21 points in the period.

Stone led Coupeville with eight points and 10 rebounds. Hammer added seven points and five rebounds, Messner had two points and three assists, Strasburg had four points and five steals, Myers had six rebounds and two blocks and Fabrizi had six points.

Coupeville (0-1, 1-2) goes to Orcas Island (3-0) at 5:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20.

Kids show peace in art

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

A Coupeville youth was recognized last week for his image depicting world peace.

Twelve-year-old Uriah Kastner, who is a student at Coupeville Middle School, earned first place in the Coupeville Lions Club Peace Poster contest.

Fourteen members of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club participated in the annual international Peace Poster contest organized locally by the Coupeville Lions Club.

Kastner’s poster, which he drew with colored pencils, depicted a dove flying across the world.

“I just thought there should be no war,” Kastner said after he learned of the recognition. For his efforts, Kastner earned a $50 award and his poster will move on to a district competition.

The Coupeville Lions

Club has been organizing the competition locally for 26 years.

“It’s to promote peace in the minds of children,” contest coordinator Gary Leake said.

Organizers had to sift through 14 entrees, some of which were made by youth under the age requirements.

Thirteen other artists were recognized for their efforts in the peace poster contest.

In the senior category, for youth 11 to 13 years old, Zach Ginnings and Willow Vick were runners up and Raven Vick was honorable mention.

In the junior category for children under 11 years old, Noelle Daignaeult earned first-place honors and Wesley Beedle and Kiara Contreras were runners up.

Honorable mention went to Angelena Gebhard, Jackie Contreras, Nathan Farnworth, Marcelo Gebhard, Nathan Ginnings, Kimberly

DeJesus and Kyle Nannenga.

The Lions Club Peace Poster contest receives around 375,000 entries from 46,000 clubs world-wide, Leake said.

The presentation of the Peace Poster contest winners took place during the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club first Cocoa and Christmas carols art show that took place in its home inside a former fire station located next to Whidbey General Hospital.

Parents of the club members were on-hand during the event to see the work youth have completed.

“It’s just a way we get to showcase the kids and their art,” said Jamie Scharich, executive director of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club.

Several pieces created by the Coupeville kids will go on to a larger art show organized by the Boys and Girls Club of Snohomish County, which is the parent organization of the Coupeville chapter.

TOWN NOTES

Bob Clay reappointed mayor pro tem

Project: Hospital seeks wing project manager

The following are notes out of Coupeville Town Hall:

From page 1

n Bob Clay was reappointed mayor pro tem for Coupeville Town Council from January 2014 to June 2014.

The position is reevaluated every six months. n Bob Clay was reappointed as the Coupeville representative on the Island Transit Board. Council members and

Mayor Nancy Conard said at a recent meeting they felt his experience on the board would be a continued asset and they feel he represents the town’s interests well. n David Day resigned from his position on the Coupeville Planning Commission. He served 10 years on the board. He said while he no longer lives in the town, he will still be active in the community.

n The regular town council meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 24 was cancelled due to the Christmas holiday. n Mayor Nancy Conard will present a revised contract for consideration between the Town of Coupeville and Island County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services during the regular town council meeting 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14 in Island County Commissioner’s hearing room.

H o y l i p d p a a ys H

would depend on the qualifications of the person hired and the scope of the contract.

The deadline for applications was Dec. 16 and hospital leaders are scheduled to interview qualified candidates in late December or early January.

Once the project manager is hired, that person will start developing a request for proposals that will be sent out to construction companies. A timeline for the project will also be developed.

Hospital leaders presented a $50 million bond proposal that voters ultimately approved in November. Money raised from the bonds will pay for construction of a new wing on the south side of the hospital’s Coupeville campus that will contain single-person rooms. A new parking lot will have to be installed and the current patient space will be converted to additional clinic space.

Mack also pointed out the various ways staff will update the community about the construction project. A Facebook page has been set up and the hospital’s website, www.whidbeygen.org will have regular updates that will provide a way to email questions and comments. Every Pulse magazine, which is mailed to residents, will also contain updates.

Heat: Town to install new rec hall furnace From page 1 entire space.

Installing an entirely different system, with heat ducts on both sides of the building is more expensive.

A duct system would more effectively heat the hall and it would be able to kept at a higher temperature in the winter, Conard said.

The new system would include a heat pump, and would be quieter than the existing system.

Conard said there are enough areas in the budget where the town underspent to cover the additional cost.

“I think it’s worth doing,” she said.
