Callum Flack

Fourth-generation Whidbey farmers Kyle and Paige (Mueller) Flack recently added son #3, Callum, to the family, but the future tiller of the land has had a difficult entrance to the world.

Born at 41 weeks after a challenging labor, he has an underdeveloped lower jaw, making it difficult for him to breathe on his own.

Callum has been transferred to Seattle Children’s Hospital, where he is in the NICU.

Fighting dangerously low oxygen levels, he is in a 72-hour protocol to cool his brain and prevent further injury.

Kyle and Paige, a former Coupeville High School basketball player who went on to work as an elementary school librarian in Cow Town, face mounting medical bills.

There is also the cost of transportation between Whidbey and Seattle, and the challenges of being away from their farm and two older sons, who are four and six.

Family friends have launched a GoFundMe to help, and you can read more and donate at:

Swing away for a good cause.

The Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools is welcoming serve and volleyers back to the CHS gym Saturday, May 16, with proceeds benefitting local students.

Door open at 10:30 AM for check in and warm up, with play in the 2026 Spring Smash Pickleball FUNdraiser kicking off at 11:15.

Cost is $50 per player with the tourney limited to 48 players (24 teams), and you can register as a duo or a single player looking for a partner.

This is a social, with all playing abilities welcomed.

The tourney will be played in a round robin format, with five games guaranteed. Matches will go to 11 points, win by two, with a playoff for the winners of each bracket.

Players are asked to bring their own pickleball rackets, though organizers will have a few extra to borrow, just in case.

Non-marring shoes need to be worn to protect the gym floors, and pickle balls will be provided.

Lunch, snacks, and drinks, including smashburgers, will be sold, and the event is offering t-shirts for sale this time around — cost is $25 for a garment, with shirts needing to be purchased in advance by May 3.

Raffle tickets will be available for purchase during the tourney, with prizes including a pickleball themed basket including an Onix Malice 14 paddle valued at $250.

A “very large bouquet of flowers” valued at $200 and a “pickleball quilted door/wall hanging with extra gifts” valued at $150 are also in play.

Door prizes will be offered for best matching outfits and punniest team name, with bracket winners and the overall winner and runner up walking away with prizes of their own.

The fundraiser benefits the schools foundation, which raises $40,000 a year through fundraisers and donations, with the money being turned into enrichment grants for teachers, scholarships for students, and the Promise Fund.

The Wolves play for two things Friday night.

On the court, the Coupeville High School basketball teams will clash with visiting Darrington in key Northwest 2B/1B League contests.

But the Wolves will also be leading the way to honor those fighting cancer, while raising funds for the WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

The annual “Coupeville vs. Cancer” night features girls varsity and boys JV hoops games at 5:15 PM, followed by boys’ varsity at 7:00.

Players will wear custom “Coupeville vs. Cancer” warmups, and a giant sign will be posted on a wall in the hallway leading to the CHS gym where people will be encouraged to write the names of loved ones who have fought or are fighting cancer.

Shirt and bracelets will be available for sale, and donations can be made at the game or online.

All funds raised will directly support cancer care at WhidbeyHealth, helping “ensure that patients can receive compassionate, high-quality care close to home.

“Your generosity strengthens our community and makes a lasting impact,” said CHS coaches in a statement.

“Please know that your courage is an inspiration, and we are proud to stand as a community and recognize your strength, and resilience.”
