Kayakers perish off coastline

Farewell

By Jessie Stensland Editor

Two young Navy men drowned over the weekend in a kayaking accident in the waters off Central Whidbey, according to the Island County Coroner’s Office. Coroner Robert Bishop identified the two men as Vinson C. Ya, 25, and Joseph T. Lee, 21. Both men were with VAQ-129 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. The two men left to go fishing at about 4 p.m. on Saturday, said Bishop. They rented two kayaks and borrowed a pickup truck from a friend, Bishop said. The two men went into the water in sep-

Chemistry with husband will endure from a distance until he retires, too By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

Tom Eller admits that he will probably feel a little lost next school year. His lunch breaks won’t be the same because of a notable absence in one particularly spacious classroom at Coupeville High School. L. Dee Eller, a science teacher, is retiring this month after 22 years at Coupeville. Tom Eller, a woodshop teacher, will wait another year before he joins his wife of 41 years in the next chapter of their lives. “It’ll be different,” Tom Eller said. “We’ve been doing this for 22 years. We’ve had lunch together for 22 years and we’ve been riding the

bus together for 22 years.” In Coupeville’s 2013-14 yearbook, a page is devoted to the lady who’s gone by “L. Dee” since she was in the fifth grade. In class, she is addressed as “Mrs. Eller,” a name familiar to the parents of some of her students. “Some of my 15-year-old sophomores have mothers and fathers that I taught biology to when they were 15,” L. Dee said. She looks around Coupeville and sees many familiar faces, from firefighters to park rangers, and recognizes that she and her husband have been lucky to have found this place. The rural, country feel of Whidbey Island reminds them of home. She is from the Arkansas border town of Siloam Springs, which is about 44 miles east of where her husband grew up in Tahlequah, Okla. “We both grew up on farms,” L. Dee said. “It’s comfort.” The journey west led them both to Washington State University and to the Tri-Cities, where Tom became a welder at Hanford Nuclear Reservation. L. Dee wound up teaching biology at Columbia Basin College in Pasco. “This is my third career,” L. Dee said of

being an educator. “I started out in nursing. Then I went to a medical tech school and worked at a clinical lab.” The experience at Columbia Basin made her realize how much she liked teaching. When work started to slow down at Hanford, Tom started looking at other options and learned of an opening for a shop teacher at a school called Coupeville. “When I was called to come interview, we had to get the map out,” said Tom, whose credentials included degrees in chemistry and physics. “We didn’t know where Coupeville was. We kind of knew there were islands over here but we didn’t even know it was on an island.”

Coupeville resident Ray Gillett says he wasn’t happy with flashing school signs installed on South Main Street two years ago, and he’s still not happy. And while he’s made his unhappiness known — both then and now — local officials say there isn’t an issue. The signs in question are located just before Prairie Center and near the school district bus barn. They alert motorists to drop the speed limit to 20 mph when flashing. They were installed in early 2012 through a grant received by the Town of

Foundation gives first DAISY award Hospital board approves $49 million budget By Michelle Beahm Staff Reporter

Whidbey General Hospital awarded it’s first DAISY Foundation award to a nurse last month. Curtis Shumate, the awardee, has been a nurse at WGH for five years, following a 25 year banking career. Shumate is an administrative supervisor at the hospital, which means he helps oversee the hospital at night. Before that, he was a nurse in many areas, including the emergency room, the Intensive Care Unit, OBGYN and more. “That’s the one thing with a small hospital,” he said, “you tend to float around.” The DAISY Foundation started in 1999, following the death of Patrick Barnes, who passed away from complications of an autoimmune disease, according to Melissa Barnes, vice president of the DAISY Foundation’s regional program, and sister-in-law of Patrick. “My family knew when Patrick passed away that they wanted to do something in his memory,” she said. “But what they found that they kept talking about, over and over again, was … the incredible difference that Pat’s nurses made while he was in the hospital for eight weeks.” The award, called DAISY as an acronym for Diseases Against Immune Systems, is about celebrating nurses for their acts of compassion beyond the job description,

The sculptures, made from serpentine stone, are created by 19 artists form the Shona tribe in Zimbabwe, and ethically imported for the foundation. “No two sculptures are ever the same,” Melissa Barnes said. “They have great esteem for their healers, know that they … are being made for our nurses, so each one is made with extreme pride, and is signed by the artist.” The foundation makes sure that not only the recipi-

ents are honored, but that every nominee is celebrated “by making sure that they know that someone took the time to write out a nomination,” according to Barnes. These nominations can be made by patients, families of patients and peers. Patsy Kolesar, another nurse at WGH, nominated Curtis for the award. A committee of nurses from the hospital picked him as the recipient out of all the nominees. “I am so happy that Curtis is our first DAISY award recipient, because it sets such a great example for what this award really means,” said Linda Gibson, Chief Nursing Officer at WGH. To Curtis, she said, “You are really a walking example of the kind of extraordinary nurse that they were trying to recognize. You are one of those nurses that can be admired as a role model for professionalism and for your

leadership. “One of the many exceptional nurses at Whidbey General, you distinguish yourself not only by the way you practice nursing, but by being the extraordinary person that we have come to love and respect.” Shumate did not know he received the award until he arrived at the hospital for the “meeting” he was invited to by Gaila Palo, head of the Nurse Practitioner Council that selected Shumate as the awardee. His wife, Dawn, and daughter, Corinne, surprised him at the hospital before he found out about receiving the award. He said his first reaction was, “I’ve got to be macho and not cry.” “It’s very honoring,” he said of the award. “I think it reconfirms your commitment of your passion towards people and reaffirms that people do recognize what you’re doing.”

Whidbey General Hospital recently approved the 2014 Operating Budget during a regular board meeting. This budget, according to the hospital’s public disclosure officer, Trish Rose, is “a management tool, developed on projected volumes and expenses.” The budget approved is $49,831,748, which is a $190,218 decrease from the approved 2013 Operating Budget. The most notable changes were in the professional and physician fee expenses, which each decreased by more than $1 million. The professional fees decreased, according to Rose, because there are a number of consultants that will not be at the hospital for the last half of the year. These consultants are from Meditech, a system that was recently upgraded at the Hospital. Meditech is an information software used to help track patients’ medical records and to monitor ongoing treatment. Rose said the consultants were at the hospital to make sure the upgrade went smoothly, and the budget in that area is decreased because in 2013, the consultants were with the hospital for the whole year, instead of just half like this year.

The physician fees decreased because there will be less usage of locum physician services in 2014, according to Rose. Locum physicians are those who fill in for a regular physician when that physician is absent, or when a hospital is short-staffed. Another major change in the budget was in the purchased services category, which increased by $1,223,889. This category includes expenses in computer licensing and maintenance contracts, as well as “other purchased services,” which can include security, management services, IT services and more. The operating budget is the superintendent’s responsibility to develop, according to Rose, and was discussed in detail at the April board meeting, though it was not approved in order to give the commissioners time to get their questions answered. The budget was approved in the May board meeting without being included on the agenda. Rose said in an email that there is no legal requirement for a regular meeting to have an agenda, nor that the board is limited to the items identified on the agenda, as told to her by the hospital’s attorney.

Community rallies for son of Coupeville family By Michelle Beahm Staff Reporter

Tragedies happen every day, but no one ever thinks it will happen to them. “None of us know when it’s going to happen, or if it’s going to happen to someone you love, and it’s definitely life changing,” said Coupeville resident Solea Kennedy. On May 9, Kennedy learned this lesson when her son Gabe was struck by a car in a hit-and-run accident that left him with catastrophic and lifelong injuries. Friends and supporters are rallying around the family through online donations that will help cover the colossal costs of his medical care. The accident occurred while Kennedy was crossing the street in the crosswalk in Reno, Nev., where he lives. Kennedy said her son was on his way to go skateboarding with friends and fell a little behind. They told her that a minivan struck him and he flew more than fifty feet then rolled. “He had multiple fractures and a head injury, and the driver just kept driving,”

she said. Gabe lost the lower half of his right leg and was in a coma for two weeks. He also had fractures in his right arm, left shoulder, clavicle and ribs. Doctors have told Kennedy that her son will need full assisted care for at least a couple years, and that they don’t think he’ll be able to return to his normal mental state. “It’s kind of a long wait and see,” she said. The driver, who turned herself in to the police about two weeks after the accident, had dropped something while driving and wasn’t paying attention when the collision occurred; she was afraid to deal with what had happened afterward, according to Kennedy. “The community here was pretty outraged that someone would just drive off and leave someone on the road like that,” Kennedy said. Kennedy said Gabe’s future will include years in a rehabilitation facility. She’s hoping to move him to Washington soon and has been looking at rehab centers. She said he’ll probably end up in

one in Seattle, because Whidbey Island doesn’t have the type of place he’ll need for recovery. However, she expects it’ll be at least another week or more before he can even be moved out of the Intensive Care Unit of the Renown Hospital in Reno. “He’s lucky to be alive,” she said. “They (doctors) said most people would not have survived that amount of injury.” Kennedy said she and the rest of her family hopes Gabe will be able to return to physical activities like snowboarding, his passion, but those require specific prosthetics, which are expensive. The initial hope was that the driver’s insurance would be helpful, but Kennedy said her insurance only covers about $25,000, which is only a small fraction of the medical costs. Kennedy said that Gabe does not have insurance, and so they’ve set up a Go Fund Me account to try and get some financial help. “It’s just like a support fund for whatever medical costs and other costs aren’t covered,” she said.

The goal on the account is listed as $25,000, but Kennedy said she picked that before she knew what all they would need. She’s looking into getting her son Medicaid, but that would only cover so much of the costs and so the fundraiser would cover everything else, including the special prosthetics they hope to one day get for Gabe. As of Tuesday morning, the account had raised more than $23,000 for the Kennedy family. “The support has been humbling,” said Kennedy. “I read all the messages that people put on there, I read them to Gabe, and I know that even if he doesn’t completely understand it now, down the road it will inspire him to fight to get well.” Kennedy puts updates about her son’s healing process on the page so everyone can keep up to date on his recovery. Now that he’s awake, Gabe is showing signs of mental awareness, is now able to breathe without a ventilator, is showing signs of movement and is even re-

Best of Whidbey contest underway Did you hear the starting pistol? The annual Best of Whidbey is underway. A true reader’s choice awards, winners proudly display their certificates won over the years in their respective businesses. You also see the official Best of Whidbey Keven R. Graves logo in advertising. Publisher’s column It’s a fun, lighthearted competition that celebrates many of the great things our island community has to offer. Wednesday’s newspaper saw the return of a paper ballot. For a number of years, the competition was online only. By reintroducing a paper ballot, our intent was to reach out to those people who aren’t Internet savvy, or who simply prefer voting the old fashioned way. It also recognizes the Best of Whidbey’s beginnings as a newspaper contest. The ballot is publishing in the paper only once. The remainder of the contest will be voted online. There is no requirement that a business or organization buy an ad or pay any money whatsoever to be nominated or win Best of Whidbey. None. Nada. Zip. There is no fee for anyone to complete a ballot and turn it in. In fact, from amongst all of the ballots that are submitted, someone will be randomly drawn to win a $100 gift certificate to a Whidbey Island restaurant. While businesses all across Whidbey Island have been recognized and won Best of Whidbey in the past, this year’s contest more purposefully reaches out to all of Whidbey Island, from bridge to ferry. The paper ballots appeared in the Whidbey NewsTimes, The Whidbey Examiner and South Whidbey Record. The electronic ballots are located on each of the newspapers’ websites. Reader’s choice awards are not new by any means, and the Best of Whidbey dates back many years. Interest in competing — and winning — has grown tremendously. There are people who take Best of Whidbey very seriously, and others, not so much. There’s no right or wrong way to approach it. It is not a scientific survey and doesn’t pretend to be. Ultimately, the objective is for everyone to have some fun while offering deserved kudos to some amazing people, places, services, food and products on Whidbey Island. If you haven’t voted already, log on to www.whidbeyexaminer.com and complete your ballot today.

There’s no humor in killing environment Editor, Regarding Harry Anderson’s homage to lawn mowing, “Mowing the Grass: A Spiritual Experience,” really? This is wrong on many levels. 1. He says he “withdraws into a mystical realm” when he puts on his ear protectors so he doesn’t hear his neighbors power tools. Huh? I doubt he would be able to hear his neighbors’ weed whackers, chainsaws and lawn mowers above the racket of his own machines. 2. As for the abhorrence of using a push mower and sweating? I give you Teddy Roosevelt: “The things that will destroy America are: prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich theory of life.” 3. Lastly, he speaks of “the connection between human and machine that tames nature but doesn’t destroy it.” I hope you mean “tame” in the sense of St. Auxbery’s “The Little Prince,” where the prince must demonstrate to the fox that he can be trusted not to hurt him. But, we are taking the world apart so that you can “tame” your lawn. We are beheading mountains and killing streams and rivers to get coal; destroying the Gulf of Mexico — BP oil is till

coming up in the gulf and the cleanup crew and children are suffering and dying from contact with it and the toxic dispersant Corexit — wasting and poisoning our drinking water through hydraulic fracking and creating a Mordor in Alberta extracting tar from sand there. Your lawn mowing is contributing to the acidification of our ocean and melting of our solar sunshade, the arctic ice cap. Sorry, Harry but your message just does not resonate in this the Age of Consequences. You don’t tame a hurricane, tornado or the rising sea. Our dabbling in the dark art of fossil fuel use is not a spiritual experience but a Faustian bargain. We are killing ourselves for convenience. Dana Lyons offers another perspective in his song “Ride the Lawn.”

The friends of Bill are woven together Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place My friend Bill Dyer died recently, just shy of his 88th birthday. He lived alone in a cozy little house in the Sierra Country Club off West Beach Road, looking out at Admiralty Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. There is something about the Rock that helps people live very long lives, and in some ways Bill was like a lot of other elderly people here. Fiercely independent, unrelentingly stubborn, an opinion about everything, determined to die on his own terms without a lot of fuss, his mind much younger than his body, and pretty damned healthy until his number came up. But Bill was not like a lot of elderly Rock dwellers in many other ways. He was born in Michigan to an unwed mother in 1926, then adopted by a wealthy couple who sent him to an expensive boarding school. There he learned to be an accomplished equestrian and steeplechase rider. As

an adult, he moved to Malibu and opened a high-end upholstery business whose famous Hollywood clients included Fred Astaire. He taught himself to weave and became a world class textile artist. One of his weaving friends and upholstery clients was Ann Meerkerk, of Greenbank rhododendron garden fame. After visiting Mrs. Meerkerk’s home here in the 1970s, Bill fell in love with the Rock and moved here in the 1980s. Bill was also a gay man when that wasn’t always easy. He met John Weber, the love of his life, in 1960. They were together for 45 years until John’s death in 2005. When they moved to the Rock, they bought a small farm near Strawberry Point, where they raised alpacas and Scottish deerhounds until age forced them to downsize to a small home in Sierra Country Club. Like most gay men of their generation, they lived careful and sometimes compartmentalized lives. It was not always safe to be “too gay,” but Bill and John never hid who they were. Bill was active in the Whidbey Weavers Guild and was well known among the growing number of textile artists on the island. He also enjoyed his circle of gay friends and he was

A year ago, Bill attended a wedding reception at the Coupeville Rec Hall for two male friends who got married after it became legal in Washington in December 2012. He shed tears at that party as he thought about all the things that weren’t possible for him and John. Later, he told me he was satisfied that they had made

their own peace in a world that didn’t always understand. Bill was cremated and his ashes were scattered at a spot in the Saratoga Passage where he had scattered John’s ashes eight years before. We had a celebration of Bill’s life at our house last month and more than 50 people came — weavers, artists, relatives, friends. Many of us had not met before, but we quickly

shared stories and laughs, and soon enough, we were no longer strangers. We were Bill’s family. That day, a beautiful little goldfinch was flying around outside our house, tapping its beak against the windows. Somebody said the bird saw its reflection in the glass and pecked at it. But I disagree. I know it was Bill asking when the cocktail hour would start. Free as a bird. At last.

Wolves end successful spring at state playoffs Coupeville High School closed out an outstanding spring season by competing in several state competitions last weekend. Sophomore Makana Stone led the way with a second-place finish in the 400 meters in the state 1A track meet at Eastern Washington University in Cheney. The Coupeville doubles team of junior Aaron Curtin and senior Ben Etzell won one of three matches at the 1A tennis tournament at West Valley High School in Yakima. Coupeville’s surprising late-season run in softball came to an end at the 1A tournament in Richland Friday.

Stone races to silver in state 400 meters

Stone covered the 400 in 58.65, finishing second to Northwest’s Maya Jackson (58.23) Saturday. Stone’s Cascade Conference rival Anna Parker of King’s placed third. “Everything worked out at state for Makana,” coach Randy King said, noting her top rivals, Jackson and Parker, were in multiple events and could be “leg weary” for the 400 finals. “At about 90 meters left, it looked like Makana would go by, but Maya just had enough left to win,” King said. “It was definitely the best challenge Makana had given her this year. “The 400 is a challenging race in terms of requiring speed and endurance. It is

very satisfying to see someone who put in the work reap the rewards.”

Coupeville duo plays in 2 state tourneys

Boys high school tennis in Washington is played in both the fall and spring seasons, so the state finals are held at the end of the year after both seasons are complete. Coupeville plays tennis in the fall; Curtin and Etzell compete in baseball in the spring. The pair played key roles in baseball, leading the Wolves to a state tournament berth. After the diamond season ended, Curtin and Etzell had only four days to get back into the tennis groove before heading to their second state tournament in a week. In the opening round of the double-elimination tournament, Curtin and Etzell lost 6-3, 7-6(7-4) to Naches Valley’s Neil Campbell and Jedi Martin in what coach Ken Stange called a “doozy” of a match. Curtin and Etzell “rocked in the second match,” Stange said, whipping Daniel Sonnichsen and Fletcher Rickabaugh of Liberty Bell 6-3, 6-1. That set up a match with Overlake’s Pranav Harikrishnan and Keshav Unmat, each who placed at state in doubles last spring while playing with other partners. The Owl pair won 6-2, 6-3, earning a spot in the match for fifth place, which they won 6-4, 6-2. “Considering that they

Wolves earn rare state softball berth The Wolves, returning to state for the first time since 2002 and for only the second

time ever, lost to Warden 8-1 and to Okanogan 5-2. “All of the work they put in throughout the season and playing in a mainly 2A league helped us, even though the record (8-20) didn’t show it,” co-coach David King said. “The trip to state was earned

and something these players will not forget.” Against Warden (19-4), pitcher Aaliyah Enriquez limited the Wolves to three hits and six walks while striking out 15. Coupeville didn’t produce a base runner until two outs in the fourth inning, when Hailey Hammer walked. McKayla Bailey followed with the first hit. In the sixth, Hammer singled and scored on Haley Sherman’s double. Okanogan (24-5) scored four runs in the second inning on four hits and an error and then hung on for the win. From there, Coupeville pitcher Bailey retired 15 of the next 17 hitters. The Wolves left eight runners on base, six in scoring position. Messner finished 2-for-3 with a double and RBI. Bailey was 2-for-4 with triple and run batted in. Maddi Strasburg added a double, and Madi Roberts and Hammer had singles. “Overall, this year...they played as a team and never quit,” said King. “We started with an unsure team and ended with one that believed when they took the field they could compete and beat anyone if we played our game.”

Etzell receives all-star MVP award

In other prep sports news, Etzell earned the Most Valuable Player Award for both games in the regional senior 1A/B all-star baseball double header in Bellingham Mon-

day, June 2. The game featured the area’s top players from 1A and B schools and served as a feeder game into the allstate series June 14 and 15 in Yakima. Etzell, based on his performance in the games, this season and his career, was nominated for the all-state games. He should hear within the next few days from the state committee if he was selected, according to coach Willie Smith. Etzell, who was also the MVP of the Cascade Conference this spring, threw three strong innings, hit the ball well and played a solid third base in the double header, Smith said. Smith, who coached one of the two all-star teams, and Etzell were joined in the games by Coupeville’s Wade Schaef, Kurtis Smith and Jake Tumblin. Schaef provided the night’s defensive gem with a diving catch in the outfield, Kurtis Smith gunned down a runner trying to stretch a single into a double and Tumblin made a nice over the shoulder catch and rapped two hits.

a high level.” During a recent chemistry class, L. Dee spoke into a wireless microphone, constantly reminding students to keep their goggles on. She told them to follow instructions by paying special attention to words underlined and capitalized. She takes pride in her safety record and in the many students who’ve gone on to careers in science and healthcare. “I survived it,” she joked. “No children were harmed in my 22 years.” But her absence will be a pain to her husband.

arate kayaks at Libbey Beach Park. They were both wearing life jackets. Their friends expected them to return by 9 p.m. At 9:55 p.m., a resident reported hearing someone crying for help from the water in the area, but could only see one boat that seemed to be under power and not in distress. The resident called 9-1-1 and reported what he heard, according to Bishop. The call prompted a search of the waters on the area. Chief Marv Koorn with North Whidbey Fire Rescue said his agency responded, as did responders with Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue and a United States Coast Guard helicopter. Koorn said they believed they were looking for a boat that was traveling south past

a second kayak about half a mile south of Libbey Beach Park. They found Lee’s body about 200 yards off shore. Bishop said the men’s friends reported Ya and Lee missing at about the time their bodies were being recovered. Autopsies were performed Sunday by the coroner. The manner and cause of death for both men was accidental saltwater drowning with hypothermia, according to Bishop. Time of death was approximately 10 p.m. Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said there’s no reason to suspect anything other than the deaths were an accident. He said that the water on the west side of Whidbey Island can be especially choppy and dangerous. “Even as we’re coming into summer time, the water is still cold,” he said.

Signs: Resident voices safety concerns From page 1

At one time, he said, he followed a man who was speeding from Crockett Lake Estates into town and the man sped through the area of the middle and high school. He said the lights don’t work. “What do we have to do to get flashing lights?” he asked. “Is someone going to have to die before we get them? Someone is going to barrel through, not paying attention, and hit a kid.” Gillet took his concerns to the town, school district and even tried the county. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said the town and district encountered challenges on where the flashing school signs could be placed after

Coupeville and Coupeville School District. Gillet said he wasn’t pleased with the placement of the signs then and he still isn’t impressed with them now. He says where the district really needs them is on both sides of Terry Road for motorists entering the town and near the elementary school. “I think we’re the only district that doesn’t have flashing lights for all our children,” he said. “They don’t adequately cover the school district.” Gillett said he frequently sees motorists speeding through town and in front of the elementary school.

The Ellers landed in Coupeville in 1990, and two years later, when a biology teacher position opened up, L. Dee joined her husband on the high school faculty. They later built a home near Useless Bay in Langley, with Tom serving as general contractor, and the daily trips by bus to school began. Only now, they’re about to end for L.

The Coast Guard located the boat in question at about 1:30 Sunday morning and reported that the man aboard the boat was fine. At about 6 a.m. Sunday, a couple from Federal Way were walking on the beach and found Ya’s body about a half mile north of the Libbey Park. A kayak was located on the beach about 50 feet from the body, Bishop said. Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue personnel arrived in a boat to retrieve the body from the beach. Bishop said he was with the rescuers as the boat was heading back to Keystone Harbor when they spotted

they were purchased two years ago. Factors impacting the locations included driveways, utilities and regulations on how close lights can be to each other. Conard said a flashing light couldn’t be too close to the lights at the main intersection of State Highway 20 and Main Street. In response to Gillet’s concerns, she had the marshal’s office keep an eye on traffic in the area of the elementary school. “We’re not seeing the area as a problem,” she said. “We don’t share his opinion nor can we legally put them where he wants them.” The town actively seeks grant opportunities for additional signage and other road projects, she said. A year after receiving a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, two new speed signs were installed in town. Each sign displays a passing car’s speed, flashing when it is going over the posted speed limit. Conard said those signs were placed in areas where the marshal’s office does see a problem. The signs were installed on South Main Street, just past the school district bus barn, and one on Broadway Street near State Highway 20. They’ve been in place for about two weeks now. Coupeville Town Marshal Rick Norrie said he’s also noticed the effectiveness of the new signs. “It’s very accurate,” Norrie said. “It brings us back into focus and we pay attention to detail.”
