Cathie Espes, a recipient of Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers, proudly shows off the organization’s sticker on the back of her wheelchair. The nonprofit group is seeking applications for 2013. The deadline is Jan. 31. - Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times Jan 14 2013, 9:01 AM Cathie Estes lives alone. She’s 68 years old, is legally blind and is confined to a wheelchair. Life isn’t easy for her. Everyday things, from getting a midnight snack to simply reading the day’s mail, are real challenges. More difficult chores, like cleaning her home’s gutters? Impossible.

Contract snafu could extend group’s management of Greenbank Farm
Jan 11 2013, 2:54 PM A discrepancy with two different contracts could extend the Greenbank Farm Management Group’s agreement with the Port of Coupeville to oversee the publicly owned farm by more than one year. At issue is the management group’s lease with the port — which expires March 31, 2014 — and the management group’s contract with the then-known state Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development — which is fulfilled at the earliest June 2015. The state agency, which eventually became the state Department of Commerce, gave the management group a $1.5 million grant in 2003 that funded construction of a new building at the Greenbank Farm. One of the contract clauses states that any buildings constructed using state funds have to be “held and used” by the Greenbank Farm Management Group for a period of at least 10 years from the date the building is occupied, which took place in June 2005.
