The doos and don’ts of dogs Students flag pet droppings

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

The multitude of yellow flags near the Scenic Heights Trail didn’t signify a game of croquet. Instead, it denoted the path of the pet poop patrol as each flag marked a pile of dog waste owners declined to dispose of properly.

Maribeth Crandell, environmental educator for the City of Oak Harbor, invited the Oak Harbor High School Ecology Club to go on pet poop patrol to mark and document the detrimental doo once per month in February, March and April. The group walked down the Scenic Heights Trail and through Windjammer Park to the playground marking and recording waste.

“We’re hoping that with increased awareness and people knowing we’re out here there might be less,” Crandell said.

However, the students worry that as summer approaches, more people will bring their dogs out, resulting in more worrisome waste.

Not only are the little surprises unpleasant to step in, but leaving them lying on city park grounds is against city law. Municipal code states that anyone walking a dog in a city park must pick up and properly dispose of the pet waste or face a $250 fine.

Pet poop disposal cans and bags are located at numerous points along the trail and in Windjammer Park. Dog walkers are required to bag the waste and put it in a disposal can.

Crandell tells people to wash their hands immediately or carry hand sanitizer because, according to Island County Public Health, each pea-sized gram of pet waste carries 23 million E.coli bacteria and can also distribute round worms, Giardia and other bacteria or parasites that cause infection in humans.

Dog walker Remi Chabot cleans up after his dog in Windjammer Park. Dog walkers are required to carry waste bags. Disposal cans are located in various places in Windjammer Park and on the Scenic Heights Trail.

“This is an educational tool,” Crandell said of the outings. The group couldn’t pick up the piles due to health risks but they could use the information to educate the public. Crandell and the students made signs to put along the trail with information reading, “Pet waste can spread Giardia, round worms, E. coli too,” and a series of signs made by student London Cook that read, “If you leave your dog’s poo, we will find you, pick up the poo, it’ll get on your shoe, it

doesn’t smell good and sticks like glue.”

Picking up pet waste isn’t just about keeping your shoes clean.

If the waste is left on the ground, rain water will carry the pollutants into ditches and storm pipes that drain into local waters and shellfish filter the fecal bacteria and become unsafe for people to eat, Crandell said.

Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson nearly forfeited her office by accident last week, but was saved by the county’s auditor.

Emerson applied on the state’s “My Vote” website to have her voter’s registration address changed from her home on Camano Island to her second home on Fort Nugent Avenue in Oak Harbor.

The problem is that the Oak Harbor home isn’t within District 3, which she currently represents, but is in Commissioner Angie Homola’s District 2.

“I pay taxes in the district, so I wanted to have a little input,” said Emerson, who added that she’s a big proponent of voting and loves to vote.

Emerson admitted that Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider saved her from making a huge mistake by warning her of the consequences of changing her voter’s registration address. If Emerson persisted, Crider warned, she would have had to resign her position as commissioner of District 3.

Emerson said she realizes that some people may assume — inaccurately — that she wanted to vote in District 2 in order to cast a ballot against Homola, her political rival, in the primary election.

Emerson, a Tea-Party Republican, has often publicly squabbled with her two fellow commissioners, who are Democrats. She recently was accused of calling Homola an insult that’s also a word for a female dog; Emerson claimed she

merely “mouthed” the word.

Homola will likely face three other candidates in the primary election, which has the possibility of being a tight race. Yet Emerson said her reason for wanting to vote in the district goes beyond the one election. As an interested resident of the area, she wanted to be able to vote on any number of candidates and issues, she said.

As a compromise, Emerson said she will push her husband to change his voter’s registration address so he can vote from Oak Harbor.

Lillian Cecile “Ceal” (Corson) Kight, 66, of Anacortes, was born Dec. 5, 1945, in Los Angeles to Cecil James and Lillian Mary (Watson) Corson.

Her young years were spent in Lakewood, Calif. Ceal attended Lakewood High School where she met her first husband, Roy Weber.

Together they welcomed their two sons Dennis and Leslie. Cecile’s dreams in life were being a wife, mother and a nurse. Cecile began her career as a nurse’s aide where others noticed her amazing gift of caring for others and encouraged her to become a nurse. In the 1970s, Cecile balanced being a wife and loving mother, and went back to school to become an RN. She graduated from Cerritos College and spent over 20 years caring for premature babies in the NICU at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, Calif.

In 1981, Cecile married James Kight and blended her two sons with Jim’s three children Brenda, Kathy and James. Jim and Cecile moved to Anacortes in 1992 where Cecile continued caring for others in a variety of nursing roles. She spent 17 years as nurse for the Skagit County Community Action, providing maternal support for young military families.

After courageously battling cancer for 11 long years, Cecile passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Monday, April 23, 2012.

She is survived by her husband Jim; son Dennis and his wife Daeleen and their children Scott, Erik and Todd; son Leslie, his wife Merrilee and their children Jake and Kate; daughter Brenda and her son Cody; daughter Kathy and her children Nate, Kane and Asa; son James and his

Pol worked as administrator of the hospital and worked out of the City Hall and met Leticia “Letty” Alvarez, who also worked at City Hall, as she was selling tickets to an event and immediately fell in love. They discovered they lived one block apart.

They were married on Jan. 27, 1963. Pol died just nine months before their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Since they were married, they have spent less than eight weeks apart. Pols favorite saying to Letty was “I love you.”

Pol was also a gifted farmer. His specialty was the care of budding fruit trees and he had a farm about eight miles from his home, which he accessed by horseback. He was also a Director of the Alaminos Water District for many years.

Health issues forced Pol to retire from the hospital in 1983 and in 2005, they moved to Oak Harbor.

lowed the sentencing recommendation that the defense and prosecution worked out in a plea bargain. He sentenced Blodgett to four months in jail and ordered him to pay $1,217 in fines and fees.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme explained that Blodgett was originally charged with third-degree assault for assaulting a deputy, but it was reduced to resisting arrest.

Ohme said the evidence wasn’t clear whether he meant to assault the deputy when he ran into the man while fleeing.

Blodgett had also been charged with possession of heroin, but the charge was dropped because the state lab had trouble testing heroin mixed with blood.

A resident of Sandusky Lane returned to her home Feb. 18 to find a strange truck parked nearby and a door opened on the house.

She entered the house and heard noise upstairs.

Suddenly, a man came run-

ning down the stairs, rushed past her and fled out the front door. Moments later, a second man, later identified as Blodgett, did the same thing.

Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated and found that all the dresser drawers had been rummaged through, but only a gold ring was missing.

Based on the victim’s description of the men, Hawley showed the woman booking photos of two dozen felons living in the Oak Harbor and Coupeville areas. She identified the burglars as Blodgett and one other man, according to Hawley’s report.

Three deputies went to Blodgett’s mother’s home to arrest him a couple of days later.

He bolted out the back door and knocked a deputy to the ground. He was arrested after a short pursuit on foot.

Church volunteer arrested for molesting boys

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A former youth coordinator at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church was arrested Thursday for allegedly raping and molesting two boys, one of whom he met through the church.

Detectives with the Oak Harbor Police Department had previously investigated 57-year-old Ronald Asplund for similar allegations six years ago and are concerned there may be more victims.

“His pattern seemed to be that he would befriend minor boys from single-parent families,” Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner said.

Asplund appeared in Island County Superior Court Thursday afternoon.

Judge Vickie Churchill found that there’s probable cause to hold Asplund on suspicion of three counts of the rape of a child in the second degree and three counts of child molestation in the second degree. She set his bail at $200,000.

Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme described Asplund’s

actions as “predatory” and said he’s looking at a tremendous amount of prison time if convicted. He said Asplund admitted to many instances of child molestation beyond what he’s being held on.

Defense attorney Tom Pacher said Asplund suffers from lung cancer and is wearing a device that pumps chemotherapy drugs into his body. He said Asplund has no criminal history.

The Rev. Jeffrey Spencer, lead pastor at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, said the church community is shocked and deeply saddened by the allegations. He said the church will cooperate fully with the police investigation and is conducting an internal investigation.

“We trust that God will work through the justice system to handle this sort of situation,” he said.

Spencer emphasized that Asplund hasn’t worked as a volunteer in the youth program for months and that the church has a vigorous child protection policy that prevents adults from being

alone with children.

“We will be here to support the victims,” he said.

The police started investigating the case last week after a woman reported that Asplund had violated a court order barring him from contacting her 13-year-old son.

An officer found that Asplund had given the boy a cell phone; the officer found that it contained sex-related text messages from Asplund.

Investigators soon discovered that Asplund had been molesting both the 13-yearold boy and his 14-year-old friend, according to the report by Detective James Hoagland. Asplund later admitted to the allegations in an interview with the detective, the report states.

Asplund met one of the boys through the church youth program; the teenager described him as a mentor.

Asplund was the “middle school ministry coordinator,” the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church website states.

The report indicates that the boys came over to Asplund’s house to play video games; he bought them candy and games.

Asplund molested and raped the boys numerous times, even though one of the boys continually told him to stop.

In one instance, he molested one of the boys during a “lock-in” event at the church, the report states.

In an interview with the detective, Asplund admitted to molesting three different boys and showing pornographic photos to other children at a youth camp in Arlington, Wash., Hoagland wrote.

“Asplund told us he knew he was wrong for what he had done, and began to cry,” the detective wrote.

Gardner said the police investigated Asplund in 2006

for allegedly molesting a boy, but there wasn’t enough evidence at the time to charge him. She said investigators are concerned that Asplund

CONTINUED FROM A1 Homola said she was unaware that Emerson tried to change her voting address, but she’s glad the auditor stepped in to prevent a problem. She said the commissioners often receive complaints from voters in District 3.

“They don’t feel well represented by Commissioner Emerson and this validates that,” Homola said, referring to Emerson living outside the district.

A handful of citizens have alleged at meetings and in email messages that Emerson lives nearly fulltime in Oak Harbor and doesn’t spend much time in her district.

Emerson, however, has said she splits her time evenly between her Camano and Oak Harbor homes. Her district includes Camano Island and most of North Whidbey outside of Oak Harbor.

According to documents obtained through a public records request, Crider sent Emerson an email April 23 asking if she really wanted to change her vot-

Emerson responded in an email, saying that she did indeed want to change her address and complaining that Crider had sent the message regarding such a “personal matter” to her work email address.

Crider responded the next day with a legal explanation of the consequences of the address change.

“Making the change that you have requested would require you to resign your office because you will no longer be a registered voter within the district to which you were elected. Is that your intent?” Crider wrote.

In response, Emerson sent an email asking Crider to disregard the original request.

Emerson said she realized she had to be a registered to vote in the district when she was a candidate, but she thought the law allowed her to change the address once she was elected. She and her husband purchased a second home

CONTINUED FROM A1 encouraged to flush waste down the toilet or bury it, but in Island County, drinking water comes from groundwater in aquifers, which can be contaminated by feces, Crandell said.

Pet waste shouldn’t be buried because the harmful bacteria will remain for weeks or years and make pets, their owners and especially children who play in the dirt sick. Pet waste also shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet at risk of harming sewer or septic systems, which are designed to handle human waste only, Crandell said.

Despite braving the wind and the cold over the trio of outings, the students were positive about the experience because it “raises awareness,” Bianca Blake said.

“I feel pretty good about doing good for the park and for the community,” said Kiefer Hermann, another student.

Participating alongside Cook, Blake and Hermann were students John Kaltenbach and Francesco Bernardelli, as well as Oak Harbor High School teacher Lori McKole, leader of the Ecology Club.

When the group first set out in pursuit of poop in February, they found 52 piles along the trail. In March, they counted 50 piles, half of which were in one yard beside the trail at the condominiums at Scenic Heights Trailhead. With a stream next to the yard, this is especially dangerous.

The group flagged 24 piles on their last outing April 18.

However, the same yard still contained a large percentage of waste.

“But the ones that aren’t picking it up are the very independent ones who don’t want to make a change just because they’re asked,” Crandell said, adding that those people might change if they knew they could get caught and fined.

Blake said she thinks that when no one’s around, it’s easier for people to just leave the pet waste rather than do the right thing and pick it up.

But the group was on the watch during their outings and approached every dog walker they saw, asking them to display their waste disposal bags. The group also handed out free bag dispensers to dog walkers and informed them of the dan-

gers of a deserted doo. Most of the dog walkers said they always pick up their pet’s waste because it’s the right thing to do, Crandell said.

However, none of them mentioned the health or water quality issues, she added.

One dog walker, Remi Chabot, had to prove it on the spot as his little dog stopped while the group was talking to Chabot. Chabot grabbed a bag and bravely bagged the waste as Ecology Club members educated him about disposing of it.

In the past, the Ecology Club has helped Crandell stencil water drains. They also attended the Sound Waters convention and they do the recycling for the high school, among other community- and school-wide efforts.

Larsen predicts good future for Whidbey NAS

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen is confident in the future of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

That’s the message he shared with members of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, who gathered for their monthly meeting Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on NAS Whidbey.

Larsen said the overall picture for the air station’s future is a good one.

“My assessment is we can rely on the base being here a long, long time,” he told the audience, which also included local and state politicians, city officials and other dignitaries and several Rotary Club members.

Larsen outlined several points he felt are a good indicator of NASWI’s continued presence on Whidbey Island, beginning with President Obama’s defense pivot to Asia. He said our allies and partners in the region all desire a strong U.S. presence there, which is good for the West Coast defense infrastructure already in place.

“This pivot bodes pretty well for the West Coast in terms of our military installations,” he said.

In terms of securing P-8A Poseidon aircraft at NAS Whidbey Island, Larsen said he feels confident there will be no changes to the Navy’s plans to make Whidbey Island one of the three installations to house the P-8A.

“My assessment is we can rely on the base being here a long, long time.”

-U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen

“I met recently with Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, and without any prompting, Sec. Mabus brought up the 2008 Record of Decision,” Larsen said.

“He confirmed that the decision stands strong.”

Another factor in NASWI’s favor, said Larsen, is its proximity to Alaska and the importance of the Navy’s Arctic Mission.

“The water off the north coast of Alaska is opening up and we will need to have a presence there for defense purposes,” he said. “Airborne assets are an easier way to do that and NAS Whidbey is a lot closer than Hawaii.”

Larsen earned a round of applause for his announcement that he doesn’t believe the budget for 2013 will include a round of Base Realignments and Closures (BRAC).

“The House Armed Services Committee meets Wednesday and we’ll be doing our mark up on the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013,” he said. “The House version will not include an authorization for a 2013 base closure round. I think we’re sitting pretty well in terms of BRAC.”

Rep. Rick Larsen smiles during a conversation prior to his speech to members of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, which met Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Larsen said he didn’t anticipate the Senate version of the act would include any base closure proposals, either.

The congressman also congratulated the Save NASWI Task Force for its continued efforts on behalf of the base.

Letters to the editor Doctor would rather be fishing I would like to thank my fellow Whidbey Islanders for the many calls and letters of encouragement that I have received over the last several weeks.

Many of you have encouraged me to apply, as a doctor well known to the community, and resident of Coupeville, for the Whidbey General Hospital Board of Directors.

I do deeply appreciate the votes of confidence. At this time, however, I have several unfinished issues with the hospital that will require the board’s consideration.

A new era is beginning for the hospital! A huge step in the right direction has been made with the elimination of the board/administration conflict of interest.

As citizens, let’s continue to demand honesty and reform of our local hospital.

a catch report!

Mark Borden, MD Coupeville

After 12 years vote them out The great Mark Twain once said, “Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason.”

One way we can start fixing Congress is to remove those who have served 12 years or more with our vote, regardless of party.

Congress will never pass term limits. This is the voters’ way.

I suggest that every voter check closely to see who has served 12 years or more.

Remember, incumbents have the ability to spend as much as $400,000 of your tax dollars to send you many messages reminding you how great they are. The challengers do not have this luxury.

Devout crowd ushers in Day of Prayer on Whidbey Whidbey hosts several prayer ceremonies

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Nearly 100 people in Coupeville took time out Thursday afternoon to pray on a wet and breezy Whidbey Island day.

They spent their lunch time praying and singing at the Island County campus in Coupeville to participate in the National Day of Prayer.

This year’s ceremony brought a mix of prayer and patriotism as people offered up prayers about everything from public officials, to the media, to families and schools while taking time to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem. A NJROTC color guard was on hand to display the American flag.

“I think prayer is the backbone of our nation,” said Josh Wenzak, a university student who helped organize previous National Day of Prayer events. “I take the privilege of praying for it seriously and with honor,” he said.

Wenzak delivered the benediction that concluded the National Day of Prayer event.

Members of VAQ 129 volunteered to participate in the National Day of Prayer ceremony in Coupeville. At right is Chaplain Jon Rozema.

Thursday’s National Prayer Day marked the 61st year of the event and the ninth time it’s taken place on Whidbey Island.

Dave Engle, associate pastor at Living Hope Foursquare Church, offered a prayer of repentance where he lamented that the country created idols to other gods, abandoned the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman, increased abor-

tion and focuses on being politically correct rather than speaking words of truth.

“We are sorry as a nation and we are sorry as a people.

We seek your forgiveness,” Engle said during his prayer.

Various leaders throughout Whidbey Island attended the Coupeville ceremony.

Along with several pastors were such elected officials as State Rep. Norma Smith and Coupeville Mayor Nancy

Conard along with firefighters and police officers.

Sailors from VAQ 129 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station volunteered to participate along with Navy chaplain Lt. Cmdr. Jon Rozema, who recited the Prayer for the Military.

Oak Harbor resident Carl Smith and Greenbank resident Bonnie Halstead blew shofars at the beginning of the ceremony. The shofar (a

The Coupeville ceremony wasn’t the only event held throughout Whidbey Island

Thursday.

In Oak Harbor, National Day of Prayer ceremonies took place at Concordia Lutheran Church and Windjammer Park gazebo, among other locations.

The Wildcats got two runs in the first on Grant Schroeder’s single, two walks, a ground out and a wild pitch.

In the second, Oak Harbor made it 3-0 on two walks and singles by Schroeder and Sam Glavick.

After a scoreless third, the Wildcats added three in the fourth. After one run scored on two errors, back-to-back doubles by David Kusnick and Zach Zimmer scored a run each.

CHS baseball loses, soccer wins in playoffs The Coupeville soccer and baseball teams opened district play Wednesday, but only the socceer squad came away with a win.

Soccer A goal by Nathan Lamb and a stingy defense lifted Coupeville to 1-0 win over visiting Meridian Wednesday and into the tri-district tournament.

Coupeville (10-7) journeys to Sammamish High School at 5 p.m. today for a match with the No. 3 seed from District 2.

After a fairly even first half, Coupeville picked up the offensive pressure in the second period and Lamb drilled in the game winner in the 56th minute. In heavy traffic, Lamb cleared himself with shifty ball handling and fired in the shot from 12 yards out.

Coach Paul Mendes said, “The win is a credit to our defense. They have two very dangerous players and we marked them well.”

Kole Kellison earned the shutout in goal against the Trojans (4-12-1).

Mendes added, “It’s nice to win on a typical Lamb goal.”

Baseball In baseball, Nooksack Valley scored four runs in the sixth inning to come from behind and defeat visiting Coupeville 6-3 in a district play-in game.

The loss ends the season for the Wolves (3-16); the Pioneers (4-14) move on to district.

Coupeville scored three unearned runs playing small ball and forcing the Pioneers into errors to go up 3-2 heading into the sixth, then Nooksack Valley put the game away with four runs, three earned, to secure the win.

The Wolves mustered only two hits, singles by Morgan Payne and Korbin Korzan.

Coach Willie Smith said pitchers Aaron Curtin, Aaron Trumbull and Brandt Bodamer “did a nice job,” combining for a six-hitter but were victims of poor defense and no offensive support.

Smith said, “We had our opportunities (to score) but couldn’t do it.”

He added, “Carson Risner, making his first varsity start, did a great job catching.”

‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ shakes up Playhouse for one night only

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

The Whidbey Playhouse is about to get hit hard. Literally.

For at what other theater show can the audience throw things, shout and dress up like never before than the “Rocky Horror Picture Show?”

For the first time in Playhouse history, the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” is coming to Oak Harbor. The cult movie sensation is showing one night only at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, May 12. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with dancing, games and a costume contest.

Tickets are $10 and sell out fast. Purchase tickets from the Playhouse by calling 679-2237.

The 1975 film will be shown behind a cast of actors performing on-stage, which is called shadow casting. Bob Foster and Delaina Bricker are two Oak Harbor actors who will be performing, along with Tacoma’s Blue Mouseketeers, Vancouver’s Geeks After Dark and Seattle’s Vicarious Theater Company. Regular Playhouse volunteers will be assisting with the production of the show, including Derek Remington on lights/sound.

Foster, who directs the Blue Mouseketeers, has been

a regular on the Playhouse stage for the past year, starring in the plays “The Philadelphia Story,” “Annie,” “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” “Busy Body” and “The Curious Savage.” Foster is also a member of the Whidbey Improv Team. During the day, he works at Fleet Readiness Center Northwest on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

“The audience can expect a night out at the Whidbey Playhouse like no other they have had there before,” Foster said. He has been involved with the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” shadow casting community for 10 years and has performed approximately 300 times.

And don’t forget to dress up --- “the wilder, the better!”

Foster said. “Think Halloween in May!” Foster first saw “Rocky Horror” as a teenager and attended it for the first time at Halloween in 2001 in Charleston, S.C. As a cast began forming, they needed someone to play the part of Brad so Foster joined.

“And I never looked back,” Foster said. The next year, he joined with a cast in Greenville, S.C., and saw how much the

community enjoyed it.

Don’t come to the show expecting to sit back in your seat for a quiet evening. It’s a zany, interactive experience ---- complete with throwing things, loud audience participation and interaction with the actors.

“Rocky Horror” is famous for its participation element, Foster said. There’s singing, dancing and audience members may even become props for the actors. “Call-backs” are a famous element as audience members yell at the screen and the film reacts with lines or action, Foster said, adding that he thinks that’s the most exciting part for the audience.

“While there are a great many standards, some of which have been said since 1976, each theater has its own set of locally based or locally created lines. New lines are created all the time, often from current news or pop culture. I love to hear ones I haven’t heard before, to see other casts and hear what they have to say,” Foster said.

The plot of the show centers on a newly engaged couple, Brad and Janet, who get a flat tire in the rain --- a natural opener for the chills

and thrills to follow. Looking for help, they stumble upon Dr. Frank N. Furter’s castle just as he’s throwing a party to celebrate his creation, Rocky Horror, the muscle-bound opposite to Frankenstein’s monster, Foster said.

After Brad and Janet get over their shock, they succumb to their surroundings ---- and the audience will, too.

“Filled with catchy, energetic songs, ‘Rocky Horror’ is a great send-up of cheesy horror and science-fiction films and is now considered to be the best of the B-movies it satires,” Foster said.

“My favorite aspect of it, from a personal side, is the many great, close and lasting friendships I’ve made due to ‘Rocky Horror.’ I’ve met people from all over the world, from all walks of life. The ‘Rocky Horror’ community is very open and friendly. One of the themes of the film is be who you are, even if you’re wacky and weird,” Foster said. He described “Rocky Horror” as a community; in most major cities, there are groups of people who perform on a regular basis. Casts even gather for conventions and meet other casts from around the world.

Josh Johnson, playing Dr. Scott, and Bob Foster, playing Brad, represent shadow casting, as actors on stage perform before the projected film.

Retirement May Be Far Off, “This show is the audience’s chance to let loose with a different, original amazing time in the theater,” Foster said.

Prop bags, complete with everything you need to throw or use during the show, are available for $3 at the door.

Due to mature themes, viewer discretion is advised.

The Playhouse is located at 730 SE Midway Blvd., Oak Harbor. For more information, contact 679-2237 or office@ whidbeyplayhouse.com.

Every life is a story; share yours FAITHFUL LIVING

By Joan Bay Klope

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we can speak.

--Epictetus I am fascinated by stories people are willing to tell and in the book, “Listening Is an Act of Love,” as readers are introduced to the beauty found in the lives of ordinary people. Drawing from more than 40,000 interviews, StoryCorps, the largest oral history project in our nation, began their series of best-selling books to give voice to ordinary Americans. Since that initial publication, StoryCorps has gone on to produce “Mom” and “All There Is,” both volumes documenting the words of people like you and me who share their life stories. If you enjoy reading first-person accounts that include triumphs, laughter, heartbreak and tears, these books are for you.

StoryCorps uses a fascinatingly simple process. If you want to tell your story, you can make an appointment to visit one of StoryCorps’ story booths, bringing along anyone you choose. A story facilitator will invite you into a cozy booth that contains a table, chairs, two microphones and a box of tissue.

You have 40 minutes to answer questions like: What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life? What did your mother sing to you when you were a baby? How do you want to be remembered? What were the happiest/ saddest moments of your life?

At the end of 40 minutes, two broadcastquality CDs are created. One goes home with you. The second becomes part of an archive in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. This means your great-great-great grandchild might someday be able to listen to your voice and hear your story.

How great is this? If this tickles your fancy, schedule a time at storycorp.org. The closest booth is in San Francisco but you can record your story in the privacy of your own home, with readily available home-based technology.

This entire project speaks to one of the greatest messages God has for each one of us: We were born for a reason, we have infinite value, and our lives can encourage, enliven, instruct and offer hope to those around us. We don’t have to ignore stories shrouded in ordinariness; the events of our lives are meant to be shared.

Storytelling has been the foundation of this column for 18 years and in a world filled with celebrity hype, there are the rest of us who may initially believe our stories are too ordinary or uneventful with which we can gift the world. In truth, our experiences have the power to bring depth and beauty, uniting our hearts.

There are other ways to tell your story if words are not your forte. How might a song, poem, painting, garden, scrapbook, quilt, or beautiful meal represent your thoughts, feelings and passions? How about paying someone a compliment and seeing what kind of conversation results? How might community service in all its various forms represent your heart?

Better yet, simply stop and listen. There’s a story out there, just for you.

State cooks up new rules for small bakers

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

The days of Fido begging for a tasty snippet of bread are ending as small-scale commercial bakers producing out of their homes will have to develop a plan to limit kitchen access pets as well as young children.

An access plan is just one part of the 2013 state requirements that have at least one small business owner in Coupeville concerned whether he will be able to keep selling the bread he bakes.

Brett Rebischke-Smith, owner of Brett’s Bread, a fixture at the Coupeville Farmers Market on Saturdays, is concerned new cottage industry regulations will add more requirements and expenses, leaving him unable to remain in business.

“It’s really sort of up in the air right now,” Rebischke-Smith said, expressing frustration about the lack of information available from the Washington State Department of Agriculture about the new regulations.

Rebischke-Smith, who is also a stay-at-home dad, has been selling his sweet egg bread at the Coupeville Farmers Market since 2008.

The new rules, which were approved by the 2011 Legislature, outline the licensing requirements cottage business owners must meet in order to produce food from their home kitchen.

Those regulations go into effect in 2013.

Typically, food that is sold to the public has to be produced in a commercial kitchen. On Whidbey Island, however, people selling bread, cookies, cakes and other low-hazard baked goods have been receiving an exemption to operate. They merely needed a food handler’s permit to sell.

“We’ve been anticipating this for the last two to three years,” said Shirlee Read, owner of The Kitchen Door on South Whidbey.

She has been selling pies at the Bayview Farmers Market for the past 12 years.

Island County was one of the few counties in the state to provide such an exemption.

With the new rules, bakers will have to either apply for a license through the state Department of Agriculture, install a commercial kitchen at their home or find a commercial kitchen from which to prepare food.

The Agriculture Department is currently drafting rules to implement the law and cottage business owners have until 2013 to comply. The rules are aimed at

Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times

Brett Rebischke-Smith, owner of Brett’s Bread, sells at the Coupeville Farmers Market. He’s concerned new cottage industry rules could prevent him from selling. food producers that have gross sales less than $15,000 per year.

Sally Waters, food program manager for the Island County Health Department, said she is communicating with farmers market vendors about the change of the law and the deadline they have to meet it. She hopes informing folks at the beginning of the 2012 market season will give people time to prepare for the changes.

“What we’re hoping is that people will go through the WSDA food safety program,” Waters said.

The draft of Cottage Food Operations, available on the Washington State Department of Agriculture website, outlines the requirements folks need to meet if they use their home kitchen.

Staff from the department of agriculture will have to inspect the home kitchens.

In addition to documenting the equipment in the home kitchen, people would have to provide, among other things, plans preventing children and pets from entering the kitchen during food production times.

“What we’re looking for here is cleanliness,” said Kirk Robinson, assistant director for the Washington State Department of Agriculture. He oversees the food safety and consumer services program. He added that inspectors will also look at plans that bar access of young children and pets during food production times and the labels that have to be placed on products.

“It’s going to create a bureaucratic nightmare for them,” Read

Learn more about cottage food rules The Washington State Department of Agriculture is accepting comments concerning new regulations for cottage industry.

The department will license home kitchens to allow them to produce non hazardous baked goods that can be sold at farmers markets.

Information about the new license requirements can be accessed at agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/CottageFoodOperation.

Officials are busy developing rules for the recently passed legislation and licenses will become available in June.

Written comments can be sent to Julie Carlson, WSDA food safety and consumer services division coordinator, at jcarlson@ agr.wa.gov, or P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560.

A public meeting concerning the new rules takes place at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 22, in room 172, Natural Resources Building, 1111, Washington St. SE, Olympia.

said of the inspection process instituted by the Department of Agriculture.

The application and inspection process would be $75 for the public health review, $125 for the inspection, and $30 for application processing and a one-year permit, according to the Department of Agriculture website.

Read said the license costs will be a financial blow to many food producers who sell at farmers markets to make a little extra money. Those costs may discourage people from producing baked goods.

People not wishing to get a license can either install a commercial kitchen or rent time from a current one.

Installing a commercial kitchen wouldn’t be possible for Rebischke-Smith.

“As a renter, I don’t have the option to install a commercial kitchen,” he said.

Waters said that a commercial kitchen is a time-consuming,

expensive proposition for a small business owner. Commercial equipment is more expensive than home equipment and a homeowner would have to change the property’s zoning to accommodate a commercial use.

There are several commercial kitchens that operate on Whidbey Island. Rebischke-Smith said it could be cumbersome to haul his ingredients to a commercial kitchen, bake and then haul his product home.

The county fairgrounds is trying to get a commercial kitchen installed. Commercial kitchens are already available at the Greenbank Farm and the Coupeville Recreation Hall.

Rebischke-Smith said he wasn’t sure about whether to lease space at a commercial kitchen. He’d like to get a better understanding of the new cottage industry rules first before determining how to best proceed.

“They don’t have a procedure in place yet, Rebischke-Smith said.

Auditions set for murderously funny play Audition for “Murder at the Howard Johnson’s” are from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, May 7 and Tuesday, May 8 at the Whidbey Playhouse, located at 730 SE Midway Blvd., Oak Harbor.

“Murder at the Howard Johnson’s,” directed by Stan Thomas, is an uproariously funny look at what happens

when three inept individuals try to murder one another.

At the beginning, bored, pampered housewife Arlene and her dentist lover Mitchell meet at Howard Johnson’s to kill Paul, her husband.

In the second act, Paul and his estranged wife meet at Howard Johnson’s in order to snuff out Mitchell, and in

the last act, Paul and Mitchell meet to do away with Arlene.

Bring bios to the auditions.

There will be cold readings from the script.

The play will open July 12 and run for two weekends.

Rehearsals begin the week of May 20, three times a week.

Officials duck, cover and hold

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard and Island County Commissioner Angie Homola, among others, crouch under a table at Wednesday’s Council of Government’s meeting in Coupeville for a Drop, Cover and Hold exercise.

To better prepare for the worst, governments in Island County are considering the creation of an Emergency Management Council.

The issue was discussed during the Council of Government’s monthly meeting in Coupeville April 25.

The proposal is to form the emergency group, which would act in an advisory capacity, to improve overall disaster preparedness across the county.

Eric Brooks, deputy director of Island County Emergency Management, is leading the proposal and spoke about the function and benefits of such a council during the meeting.

“Mainly, it’s to bring all the agencies on the island together,” Brooks said.

“It’s a sounding board for

emergency management issues,” he said.

He rattled off a long list of public agencies that would be involved, ranging from fire districts, police and county agencies to ports, Washington State Ferries and citizen groups.

Brooks said the potential benefits of such a council would be numerous. Aside from improved communications and bringing everyone’s individual disaster or emergency plans together, you could count on enhanced and shared resources, efficient utilization of grant opportunities and consolidation and shared training.

The proposal, which followed presentations from several local governments about their own emergency plans, saw widespread support, though several suggestions were offered.

“I love the idea,”

Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said.

She and other officials huddled under a table, practicing the “duck, cover and hold” rule of what to do in an earthquake or nuclear attack, for example.

However, she said involving so many groups in one council may be cumbersome and difficult to organize.

Someone else suggested limiting the council’s membership but utilizing other voices in one or more subcommittees.

In a later interview, Brooks said he doesn’t know how long it will take to get the council and subcommittees going but that he will start the process immediately. He said he will be providing the Council of Governments with periodic updates on his progress.
