Little kids enjoy big music Excursions get students ‘jazzed about the marching band’

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Patrick Manuel’s eighth grade marching band marched to Der Kinderhuis Montessori school Thursday afternoon to surprise the

little kids with some big sound.

It wasn’t the first time the band made the merry march.

Manuel, the band teacher at Oak Harbor Middle School, decided to take the band over to the school to surprise

his son, Alexander, who was attending Montessori at the time.

“He really loved it and his friends loved seeing the marching band,” Manuel said, “so we decided to do it SEE MARCHING BAND, A20

Greg Banks isn’t ready to give up his day job.

The Island County prosecutor decided last year that his fourth term, which ends this year, would be his last.

But this week he changed course, announcing that he will seek another four years.

“It really is a great job,” he said. “We work in pursuit of justice, not in pursuit of profit. I get to wear the white hat and I get to go home at the end of the day and I sleep well at night.”

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown is also running again and said he is glad that Banks wants to stay. In fact, he encouraged him to run again.

“I think we have a very good partnership,” Brown said.

A s Island County prosecutor for m o r e than 15 years, Banks successBANKS fully handled cases against a half dozen murderers, innumerable rapists, a mayor and one Barefoot Bandit.

His tenure hasn’t been without bumps. Most recently, his office, along with just about every department in the county, faced drastic budget cuts which he said resulted in “intolerable case loads.”

Last year, after handling a particularly grueling double-murder case, Banks said he felt completely burned out and decided he wasn’t going to run for his fifth term. Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme, the second in command, made preliminary plans to run.

A P-8A with Maritime Patrol Squadron Five recently visited NAS Whidbey.

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is tentatively approved for six P-8A Poseidon squadrons.

The six squadrons are slated to replace the base’s three existing P-3C squadrons.

HOT NEW GAMES!

The Navy will now undergo a 30-day waiting period, after which the assistant secretary of the Navy is expected to sign a record of decision.

The Navy has been conducting a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement since 2008 to

consider alternative bases for Poseidons.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, who has been a proponent of base expansion, released a statement Friday.

“Completion of the Supplemental EIS is another important step in the process of bringing the P-8As

to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and an additional indicator of the Navy’s commitment to the base,” Larsen said.

Elementary art decorates Pioneer Way storefronts

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Pioneer Way has a new look for the week of Holland Happening.

Downtown storefront windows are decorated with colorful art created by elementary school students.

For the 13th year, Oak Harbor’s elementary schools are putting on an Art Walk to showcase the work students are creating in their art classes.

Carla McCoy, an art teacher at Hillcrest Elementary, said the show is held each year as a way to thank the community for passing the levies that allowed the art programs to exist.

“This is our 13th year to have it,” McCoy said. “It’s also the 13th year to have art teachers here in the school district. So our community has paid for, through levies, the art education program at the elementary schools, and so this is our way to thank everybody.”

Putting on the show is a lot of work, according to McCoy.

The art teachers ensure each piece is properly labeled so the artist is identified.

They also write out invitations to each student whose art is being displayed.

It also takes some effort to crawl in and out of window displays to hang up each piece of art. But the difficult part is choosing what to hang up.

“Picking the student art is always a challenge,” said McCoy, “because you want to put everybody’s art in. But there’s not enough room.”

McCoy estimates there is somewhere around 1,200 to 1,300 pieces of art hanging along Pioneer Way, with at least 200 pieces of art from each elementary school.

“We probably have about 300 participants, and 350 art pieces, just from Hillcrest alone,” she said.

Many art pieces are displayed at the Wind and Tide Bookshop. Owner Karen Mueller said she participates in the elementary Art Walk every year.

“The kids really like to come and see their own art there,” Mueller said. “It’s fun

Hillcrest Elementary art teacher Carla McCoy, center, discusses Jerrell Wilson’s artwork with him and his mother, Omega. for the kids to see with their parents and show their parents this is what they do.”

Though the presentation is a way to thank the community, McCoy said it wouldn’t

be worth it if the students didn’t enjoy it.

“When the kids come down, it’s awesome,” she said.

“It’s important for the kids,

it’s important for the community to know what the kids are doing, because they do some pretty impressive work.”

The art is displayed the

week of Holland Happening and will be taken down on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, depending on the school.

Island County reviews flood mitigation plan with FEMA

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Property owners facing flood risk will be under the county’s microscope in the coming months.

The Federal Emergency Management Administration, or FEMA, started its regular review of county floodrelated regulations as part of the National Flood Insurance Program.

Flooding remains the nation’s most deadly and highest risk hazard, according to John Graves with FEMA’s regional office.

Still, FEMA staff working in the flood program are on the lookout for all potential hazards.

The National Food Insurance Program functions under the Mitigation Division of FEMA, which also takes

Shady Ladies’

into account potential hazards like tsunamis, earthquakes, floods and landslides like the one experienced in Oso earlier this year.

“It’s a big circle we hope to improve,” said program specialist Michael Riedy.

Island County has opted to participate in the National Flood Insurace Program since 1975. The program provides more than $248 million in flood insurance coverage to the 990 resident policy holders.

According to FEMA documents, 130 flood claims have been filed in Island County since 1978.

Riedy met with Island County staff late last year to perform a field inspection of at-risk properties. As a result of that visit, Riedy said in a letter sent last month that FEMA’s major concerns are whether the county’s floodplain regulations are current and if the permitting and habitat assessment procedures are compliant with county code.

“The county has some deficiencies, which must be corrected,” Riedy wrote to the county.

FEMA has provided a list of 130 properties for which the county must provide per-

mits, elevation certificates and habitat assessments.

FEMA initiates a Community Assistance Visit every 5-10 years to ensure the county is keeping up it’s part of the program by assisting residents in preparing their properties for possible flooding.

Andy Griffin, floodplain administrator for Island County, said this visit yielded a longer list of properties of concern.

Riedy said this is likely due to new technology that assists analysts in identifying potential flood areas much more accurately than before.

Riedy said they were able to use tools like Google Earth and other new programs to overlay parcel data with the flood plain data. This led to a longer, and perhaps more accurate, list of hazard areas.

In contrast to other areas around Puget Sound, Island County does not have a major river system. Because of this, the county does not experience the magnitude or frequency of flooding as some communities do in neighboring counties, according to Island County documents.

Instead, island coasts are subject to intense and frequent flood waters during major storm events that may pose a significant risk to personal property.

Riedy said that while spring tends to be a flood season for Washington, Island County tends to see more flooding events in winter. He added that there is a 30-day waiting period for the insurance to become effective.

Three Whidbey cases of whooping cough reported

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Three recent cases of whooping cough in Oak Harbor schools and one in Coupeville — as well as the measles outbreak in surrounding counties — should serve as a reminder of the importance of vaccinations, said Brad Thomas, the Island County Health Officer.

Coupeville schools sent out a letter to parents this week, notifying them that a student in the middle/ high school was diagnosed with pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough.

Thomas said three students in Oak Harbor schools were diagnosed previously — two this month and one in March.

Since whooping cough is highly contagious, the students’ family members also had to be treated.

“It’s easy to treat and, unfortunately, easy to catch,” he said. “All told, 20 people were treated with antibiotics.”

All of the students who came down with whooping cough were vaccinated; Thomas said it’s a somewhat weak vaccine and a certain number of people who are exposed will contract it.

Still, he said, it’s important for people to get vaccinated to prevent the spread. Whidbey Island experienced an outbreak in 2008, which disrupted schools and extracurricular activities.

Pertussis, a bacterial

infection, can be fatal for infants, Thomas said.

The illness causes violent fits of coughing; Thomas said they can be severe enough to cause people to vomit or even break ribs.

The mild to severe cough can persist for as long as a couple of months.

Thomas stressed that adults need to get a booster shot. The immunization protocol calls for people to get five doses of the vaccine before age 7, followed by a booster at age 11 or 12 and another in adulthood.

As for measles, contraction of the illness can be totally prevented by vaccination, Thomas noted.

Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus. It starts with a fever and leads to a cough, runny nose and red eyes.

Then a rash of tiny, red spots breaks out, starting at the head and spreading to the rest of the body.

Measles can be serious for young children; it can lead to pneumonia, encephalitis, swelling of the brain and even death, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Thomas said measles has been reported in Skagit, San Juan, Whatcom and King counties, but not in Island County.

Measles cases are at the highest level in the U.S. in nearly 20 years; health experts believe it spread from the Philippines, where they are experiencing a very large outbreak, the CDC reported.

The Island County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for any information regarding a drive-by shooting on North Whidbey Tuesday.

Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said nobody was injured and the shooter’s intention remains unclear.

“There is no known motive,” he said, “and no suspect.”

Someone fired several shots and hit two houses on the 1900 block of Swantown Road with what investigators believe was a smallcaliber handgun, according to Mauck. The shooting was reported at about 5:30 p.m.

Mauck said the houses were not associated with any kind of criminal history.

Sheriff Mark Brown said shell casings were recovered at the scene.

Mauck said a small car, possibly a Honda, was seen near the scene, but investigators don’t know if the occupants were involved in the shooting.

Anyone with any information can contact the Island County Sheriff’s Office at 360-678-4422 or by calling I-COM Dispatch at 360-6786116.

Land Trust hires new director

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Ryan Elting is as excited about his new job as his new home.

“I’m in love,” Elting said of moving to Whidbey Island this month to serve as conservation director for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

“My jaw drops every time I see the Olympic Mountains on my way to work. I’m so happy to be able to raise my daughter here.”

The position, formerly the land acquisition manager, has been vacant for two years, according to Pat Powell, the Land Trust’s executive director.

Powell said the role was upgraded to conservation director for Elting because of the breadth of his experience in natural resource management and land protection.

“It’s really what I wanted,” Powell said. “We didn’t think we would find it.”

Previously, Elting worked for The Nature Conser vancy in North Carolina.

In 2008, Elting attended a conference in Vancouver, B.C., and visited Orcas Island, where he was taken by the island’s natural beauty and vowed to return. A couple of years later, he attended a wedding on Orcas and met his wife, Marthë, a Northwesterner.

They were married and moved to North Carolina and now have a daughter, Alma.

Two-car wreck yields no injuries

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

No injuries were reported as a result of a two-car collision Wednesday afternoon in Oak Harbor.

While heading south on Southeast Midway Boulevard, Timothy Stone struck the side of Megan McConnell’s car after she allegedly went through a stop sign on Southeast Sixth Avenue, according to police reports.

When the two cars collided, the airbags in Stone’s vehicle deployed, and there was damage to the front end of his car.

Damage to McConnell’s care was limited to a dent in the back left door, said police officer Jennifer Yzaguirre.

McConnell’s car was “still drivable,” said Yzaguirre, but Stone’s car was towed from the scene.

McConnell was driving with her infant in the car. She declined medical attention for her and her child, said Yzaguirre.

Yzaguirre and fellow Oak Harbor police officer Manny Silveira responded to the accident.

Accor ding to Yzaguirre, McConnell told the officers she’d never been on the road before and didn’t notice the stop sign.

“She’ll get a failed to stop at a stop sign infraction,” Yzaguirre said.

Neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to be involved.

Oak Harbor schools audit comes out clean

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

An audit of Oak Harbor School District revealed nothing out of the ordinary.

The audit included a review of school district’s records between Sept. 1, 2012, through Aug. 31, 2013.

General auditing practice means that the Washington State Auditor’s Office did not look at every transaction, activity or area, but instead looked at areas with high risk of noncompliance, misappropriation or misuse, according to the audit summary prepared by the auditing team, led

by State Auditor Troy Kelley.

Areas examined in

this audit were transportation apportionment, Associated Student Body fundraisers and credit cards issued to the school district employees.

According to the audit summary, the district’s internal controls were found to be satisfactory to safeguard public assets.

Also examined was the district’s internal control over financial reporting and major programs, and no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses were found.

The school district is audited every year, and no accountability findings have been reported in the past six audits, according to the audit summary.

Share the cold, hard facts about impacts of heroin PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

I was raised not to use the word “hate.” My mother used to say, you “dislike” something, don’t say “hate.”

Most of the time I’m conscientious of that little rule.

Most of the time.

But there are times when “hate” is the only word available to describe how intensely you feel about something.

I hate heroin.

I hate what heroin does to people, and not just what it does to those who use it. It’s a drug that shatters lives and families.

In our April 19 edition of the Whidbey News-Times, reporter Jessie Stensland reported on increasing heroin use on the island. It’s an important article that I hope every parent and grandparent reads. It’s available online at www.whidbeynewstimes.com In the article, Oak Harbor Police Detective Carl Seim expresses his fear that use of heroin, which is relatively inexpensive, may be becoming a serious problem in our community.

And heroin users seem to be getting younger.

Once thought to be a drug used more by hardcore, older users, Island County Drug Court coordinator Zachary Lively said he’s seen more 15- and 16-year-olds using heroin.

This is frightening information.

For her article, Stensland interviewed a heroin user who said heroin started showing up on the island in 2010. He said $20 will buy a user enough heroin to get two people high “for a day and a half.”

Just how big of a problem heroin is on Whidbey Island is mostly anecdotal. There aren’t studies or statistics yet that tell us exactly what is going on.

But we have representatives from different branches of law and justice telling us that they’re witnessing a troubling trend.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks and Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy are spearheading a subcommittee on the Island County Law and Justice Council to tackle the problem. This task force deserves the full support of all of Island County’s criminal justice agencies, each of the school districts on the island and parents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Government

Navy spends too much money on airplanes Editor, This is an open letter to the Navy and its representatives, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus.

I want to comment on the article “Navy looks to purchase 22 more Growlers from Boeing.”

It’s hard for me to know where to begin.

Let me start with the fact that in a recent poll of a sampling of approximately 60,000 citizens in 68 countries, when asked “Which country is the greatest threat to world peace?”

America, by a huge margin, was number one. As an American citizen I am appalled by this fact.

In America, where the long-term unemployed can’t get extended unemployment benefits, we have the resources to buy 22 more Growlers at a minimum price just shy of 1.5 billion dollars.

Or how about the fact that education and its costs are at an all-time high for

students and parents, yet we can waste this kind of money for more death and destruction machines to, as you say, be “very mindful of the industrial base.” Is this the American Industrial Base, killing machines?

With all due respect, admiral, a better “hedge and risk reduction” effort would be to put this kind of huge money into healthcare, education, food assistance for poor people facing food security issues, heating assistance for the elderly ... well you get the idea, because this type of misguided and foolish spending is of no benefit to American citizens.

This very attitude that the military and its budget are sacrosanct is a major detriment to what has been identified in the past as “American values.”

This enormous military budget is for what?

As a citizen, this kind of waste makes me angry because the people right here at home need to have this wasted money re-invested in America for Americans, not used to “defend” the business interests of the 1 percent all over the planet, giving us the dubious distinction of being identified as “the biggest threat to world peace.”

Veterans

Man’s false claims to be veteran are offensive

Editor, In regard to your article which featured a “51 year-old Vietnam vet, which would have made him 12 when the war ended in 1975, as a disabled combat Vietnam veteran myself I find it very offensive that people like this gentleman sit on corners and begs rather than stepping up to the plate and taking care of himself and his family. Has he no pride in himself, and what kind of example is he setting for his family?

I have worked for the Department of Veteran Affairs for 28 years and have seen countless “veterans” who claim to be disabled, but truly are not — some of them not even veterans. It is people like these who seek unwarranted and fraudulent compassion and sympathy from unsuspecting citizens, and who piggyback this on the tragedy and horrendous disabilities that have befallen the true heroes and those who have served.

Sir, man up and get a life.

MARK Obama visit includes lesson in communication THE DATE THE PETRI DISH

By JERRY CORNFIELD That venerable adage ‘It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it’ came to mind Tuesday as President Barack Obama departed the Oso firehouse.

Not because the communicator-in-chief had just provided three cringe-worthy moments with his tortured pronunciation of the town’s name.

Rather it was Obama’s subtle acknowledgement the emergency response to the deadly mudslide did not get carried out in letter perfect fashion. Families and neighbors of the deceased and missing encountered frustrations with first respond-

ers during those first days after the earth moved.

“Some terrific lessons were learned in the midst of very hard times during this process, because almost uniquely, we had not just coordination between state, local and federal officials, but also coordination between volunteers and those officials,” Obama said to the crowd at the firehouse.

“And I know that it required some improvisation and some kinks getting worked out, but it was important for the family members themselves and the community themselves to be hands-on and participate in this process — particularly a community like this one where folks are hearty and know how to do things, and take great pride in being self-reliant.

“It was important that they weren’t just bystanders in this process, they were involved every step of the way,” he said.

Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe might feel validated by his words;

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK:

she made much the same point a month ago.

But the freshman lawmaker, among those who met with the president Tuesday, expressed it far less diplomatically, and perhaps too soon, to be effective.

Only four days had passed before she unloaded about a lack of common sense in aspects of the rescue and recovery efforts. She spoke of how residents embraced Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin’s “Get ‘er done” ethic to spring into action in the face of what sometimes seemed a slow and jumbled response from official quarters.

She expressed particular pique with the decisions to bar Darrington residents from joining the search for victims and restoring a private road for emergency vehicles to access the site – prohibitions the hometown folks promptly ignored and officialdom eventually welcomed.

Those were probably the kind of “kinks getting worked out” that

Obama had in mind.

“It’s not a time for armchair quarterbacking but for heaven’s sake, listen to the people on the ground,” Scott said March 27. “People of Darrington feel really dismissed and put down.”

There would be a time to discuss what didn’t go right and what to do about it, she said.

“There’s no such thing as a perfect response. We can learn from this and going forward we can think about how we have a better plan,” she said.

When that time comes — if Scott picked up any tips from Obama — it will be to make sure what she says gets the attention, rather than how she says it.

CONTINUED FROM A6 Any effort to stem the growth of heroin use will only work if the information is factual.

Have heroin users describe for students how shooting up has affected their lives. Sure, there’s a high. But there’s also the crash that follows.

And there’s chasing that next high.

Allow people to talk about how having a heroin-user for a child, brother, sister or parent has hurt their families. Let them talk about the suffering that comes from having a loved one die from an overdose.

Ultimately, it won’t be scare tactics that bring down heroin use. It will be the cold, hard truth about how it destroys lives.

Dyer

Bill Dyer

William “Bill” Dyer peacefully passed on to join his love April 18, 2014, in Seattle, Wash., after a short illness.

Bill was born in Caledonia, Mich., on May 2, 1926. He was adopted by William Charles Dyer and Nellie I. Stevens and was later raised by his beloved “Aunt Martha.”

He spent his early years in Battle Creek, Mich., then St. John Military School in Chicago, as well as others.

His boarding schools always included riding in their programs and Bill became an accomplished equestrian.

Bill and his spouse of 45 years, John Q. Weber, and he lived in Topanga Canyon, Calif., and then in the Malibu hills where they raised sheep and coursed their Scottish Deerhounds in their spare time while both worked, Bill weaved and did upholstery for many of Hollywood’s celebrities and John worked in engineering.

They both cut fine figures in their Austin Healey sports cars, John the quiet one, Bill a ball of fire. John died in December 2005.

Bill was a world class weaver and textile artist. He learned to weave from Mary Snyder, and then became good friends with Anne Blinks.

They attended many weaving conferences together, sometimes with Ann Meerkerk, who was the connection that brought Bill and John to their beautiful

Whidbey Island to retire.

Bill shared interests with Anne in historic textiles, both from Peru and from the Scandinavian bog burials. He enjoyed replicating things in obscure techniques, like sprang, braiding and tablet weaving.

Bill was a very fine weaver and wove damask pieces on his Jacquard loom, using his original imagery and Escherlike images with reversing dimensions. He also reproduced designs of the ancient Mimbres tribes of Southwest New Mexico. He used finer yarns than almost any other damask hand weaver.

After Bill sold his loom, he loved being a part of the Braidy Bunch, a braiding group that included Virginia Harvey and other wellrespected textile artists. He also was a member of the Whidbey Weaver’s Guild.

Bill is survived by nephews Peter Cronk, of Ventura, Calif., and Bruce Cronk, of Roseburg, Ore., and their families, as well as a slew of really good friends from all over, who loved this “gentle man” and will sorely miss Bill’s ribald humor and sharp wit.

Bill lived his life with integrity and unflinching courage.

He excelled at any art he pursued, setting his own standard of excellence. He was an honest, gracious spirit who loved well.

In lieu of flowers, Bill would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some poor unfortunate soul in his name.

A celebration of Bill Dyer’s life will be announced at a later date.

Oak Harbor boys basketball coach resigns Leaves program after 8 seasons with Wildcats

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Saying it was “time for a change,” Oak Harbor High School boys basketball coach Mike Washington resigned Wednesday, April 23, after eight years at the helm.

Washington met with Oak Harbor High School athletic director Nicki Luper earlier this week and decided to step aside.

“The administration wanted me to do some things I didn’t think I had the energy to do,” Washington said, citing, in particular, working with early elementary

children to build a stronger program.

Luper said, “We appreciate all that coach Washington has done for our students over the past eight years and wish him the best.”

Now that his sons have passed through the program, Washington said the decision wasn’t difficult; he is “happy and at peace” with his choice.

“The freedom is such a relief,” he added.

Unburdened by coaching responsibilities, he now has time to follow his sons’ collegiate basketball careers.

Mike Jr., who will be a college junior next season, plays for Princeton; and high school senior Drew, who originally planned to play for the Air Force Academy, accepted a preferred walk-on spot with Seattle University.

Washington said if he decides to get back into coaching, he will most likely look at the college level.

Netsah Zylinsky, left, and Christine Pace discuss plans of the Imagine Permaculture Food Forest on Bayshore Drive in Oak Harbor in February.

Food forest project takes root Foundation laid for permaculture garden designed to be sustainable community asset

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

In its present state, the land appears to be nothing more than a barren field dotted with freshly planted trees, small mounds of dirt and a wall covered in plastic.

Netsah Zylinsky looks deeper into the landscape and the future and sees something altogether different.

“I hope we can feed many, many people,” she said.

Since the first shovel of dirt was raised in January, work parties have gathered nearly every Saturday on an empty parcel of land on Bayshore Drive in Oak Harbor to work on a massive community garden project designed to help feed those on Whidbey Island in need.

Called the Imagine Permaculture Food Forest, the idea of a self-sustaining urban garden has been dancing in Zylinsky’s mind for years.

The concepts were rooted in classes she and her husband Michael Zylinsky took 20 years ago from Bill Mollison, who is considered the “father of permaculture.”

The Zylinskys, who moved to Oak Harbor 12 years ago, have been educating others ever since.

Partnering with SPIN Cafe and the Oak Harbor Garden Club, and using land donated by the City of Oak Harbor, the Imagine Permaculture Food Forest broke ground three months ago and has already moved into its fourth phase of planting trees.

It’s an elaborate plan involving a permaculture design and urban forest practices, implemented by a volunteer base led by co-chairs Zylinsky and Christine Pace.

What you see so far is merely the foundation being laid, according to Zylinsky.

“We’re just beginning,” she said.

“This is a two-year project.”

The design promotes self-sustainability with water holding to the land and a canopy of trees that both shield wind and provide more favorable conditions for other plants.

Volunteers began soil-building in the project’s first phase, then started construction of a strawbale cob wall intended to be a windbreak.

The group had to delay the completion of the wall because of their spring time line.

“We realized our window for planting started to close on us,” Zylinsky said.

A look at the food forest after fruit trees were planted earlier this week. The Oak Harbor Garden Club donated $3,000 to purchase trees for the project.

This month, with an archeologist on site to monitor digging, 135 holes were dug to make way for trees and berries. About 50 fruit trees have been planted so far, ranging from apple to peach to pear.

It will all be a part of what is described as a “nine-story edible companion food forest” that will include tall layers of nut and nitrogen-fixing vines, medium layers of semi-dwarf fruit trees and multiple layers of berries, perennial and annual vegetables, herbs and more.

Swales are being designed in the ground to hold water near plants.

Using environmentally-friendly permaculture methods, every detail is thought out.

Zylinsky taught permaculture classes at the SPIN Cafe to familiarize volunteer helpers with the concepts and gardening practices. With permaculture, care of the earth and people, and returning surplus back to the earth, is foremost.

The plan in Oak Harbor is to be able to grow food for the nearby SPIN Cafe, which serves free meals on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and make food available for the community who visit the garden.

Oak Harbor’s food forest will be only the second of its kind on the West Coast and third in the United States, joining Beacon Hill in Seattle and one in Boston, Zylinsky said.

The first business in Oak Harbor was the Barrington Store, Saloon and Warehouse, built in the 1850s and owned by Oak Harbor pioneer and sea captain Edward Barrington. Shortly after arriving in Oak Harbor, Barrington bought the Taftzon and Sumner land claims, giving him ownership of most of the Oak Harbor waterfront. The building was moved across the street and turned into what is now the Oak Harbor Tavern. As part of a “Looking Back” series, local author and pioneer descendant Peggy Darst Townsdin is sharing photos with the Whidbey News-Times and its readers.

Creating balance in your life means facing concerns

While stopped at a busy school crosswalk this week, I enjoyed watching an array of people hurrying to their various destinations.

There were parents walking their youngsters to elementary school, kids peddling bikes and retirees exercising their dogs.

Some were dressed as if a storm was approaching; others dressed in brightlycolored layers, perfect for the moist mornings and sunfilled afternoons we’ve been experiencing of late. They were a great looking bunch.

It was one particular teenage girl who captured my attention most.

Carefully dressed, including expertly applied makeup and hair piled atop her head, she balanced a binder, a sizable pile of books and a brightly decorated cake stored in a clear plastic container.

Tied to her wrist rose a bunch of helium-filled balloons that might have carried her away had it not been for the bulky, yet stylish platform shoes on which she balanced herself and her load.

Stopping for the briefest moment at the curb, I watched in fascination as she carefully eyed the step before artfully making her way onto the sidewalk — platform, party supplies, school books and all.

It’s all about balance, isn’t it?

Sometimes I lose my balance and I cannot blame my shoes, only myself.

I lose balance when I dare to believe that I can go it on my own, that I have the strength of character and energy, perseverance and good intentions to maneuver down my life path without dumping my load.

On the days I venture out without giving God a good morning greeting, or inviting Him into my day, asking Him to draw near to somebody I love or acknowledging that I can feel His presence, I invariably lose my balance or good humor.

My timing goes askew. So does my ability to respond graciously and with strength to those things I hadn’t planned on facing that day.

Because I despise those days, I am learning to avoid them by giving myself a spiritual check. I privately work down a list of questions that include: Am I eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep?

Am I connecting with family members and dear friends?

Am I worshipping God? Am I spending time sharing my faith with others?

Have I looked at my life goals lately?

Am I fulfilling what I understand is my purpose in this life?

Am I growing in character? How am I serving others?

Am I doing anything purely for fun?

In the answers, I find my balance. It also comes when I take the time and gather the courage to share my life experiences with those walking a similar path.

Balance comes when you bravely face circumstances that concern you, remembering that a full life is lived one season at a time.

Balance comes when you return to the people and activities that fuel your courage and energy.

Balance comes when you look for God every step of the way.

PROSECUTOR CONTINUED FROM A1 ple of possible job opportunities in private practices and was considering corporate law.

But then it dawned on Banks what corporate law or private practice would be like; it would be a lot of money, but he might not always be on the side of justice.

And things came around in the office. Much of the prosecutor’s funding was restored this year. Banks said he built an excellent team of young attorneys.

Colleagues encouraged him to stay. People stopped killing each other.

“My wife said it would be kind of crazy to walk away from it now after having endured all of that,” he said.

As for Ohme, he said he won’t run against his boss and things are going very well at the office, especially now with the restored manpower.

Ohme said he will continue taking the lead on handling the criminal caseload while Banks concentrates

“My wife said it would be kind of crazy to walk away from it now after having endured all of that.”

Greg Banks, Island County prosecutor

more on the civil side.

“He turned criminal over to me pretty much and I think it’s going smoothly,” Ohme said. “Greg is doing a good job and I’m happy to be his chief.”

The Island County prosecutor earns $128,800 a year; the state and county each pay a portion.

CONTINUED FROM A1 Navy as it considers the potential environmental effects of the transition.”

The SEIS addresses potential environmental issues that may result from basing the six P-8A squadrons at Whidbey Island. The navy has stated its preference to base six squadrons at NAS Whidbey and six squadrons NAS Jacksonville.

“I have long advocated bringing the P-8As to Whidbey Island because of the advantages

for national security and the stability for the base,” Larsen said. “While the decision is not yet final, the Navy’s preference to house six squadrons at Whidbey Island furthers the base’s role as a preeminent maritime, patrol, electronic warfare and surveillance site in the Pacific.”

A copy of the Supplemental EIS is available online and at the Oak Harbor and Coupeville libraries.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR THE FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF THE P-8A MULTI-MISSION MARITIME AIRCRAFT INTO THE U.S. NAVY FLEET In accordance with Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1500), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 United States Code 4321); and Department of the Navy (Navy) procedures for implementing NEPA (32 CFR Part 775), the Navy has completed a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the introduction of the P-8A Multi-Mission Maritime aircraft. The Final Supplemental EIS was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing facilities and functions to dual-site the P-8A at two established maritime patrol home bases.

This document supplements the 2008 Final EIS with additional alternatives to provide facilities and functions associated with the proposed home basing action, changes to circumstances at the home base locations, and the latest P-8A project information. In November 2008, the Navy completed the Final EIS for the Introduction of the P-8A aircraft into the U.S. Navy Fleet, which evaluated the environmental impacts of home basing 12 P-8A fleet squadrons (72 aircraft) and one Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) (12 aircraft) at three established maritime patrol home bases. A notice of the Record of Decision was published in the Federal Register (FR) on January 2, 2009 (74 FR 100). Since this decision, the Navy determined that home basing P-8A squadrons at two locations could provide potential cost savings while still meeting current strategic operational objectives. The Navy released the Draft Supplemental EIS for public review and comment on September 20, 2013. In compliance with CEQ NEPA regulations, the Navy held open house meetings regarding the Draft Supplemental EIS on November 7, 2013, for NAS Jacksonville and on November 13, 2013, for NAS Whidbey Island. The public comment period for the Draft Supplemental EIS ended on December 2, 2013.

The Final Supplemental EIS addresses comments received on the draft version of the Supplemental EIS and identifies Alternative 1 as the preferred alternative. Alternative 1 home bases 6 fleet squadrons plus the fleet replacement squadron at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL; 6 fleet squadrons in NAS Whidbey Island, WA; a permanent, rotating squadron detachment to Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, HI; and periodic squadron detachments to Naval Base Coronado.

Members of the eighth grade marching band from Oak Harbor Middle School perform as they travel city streets to surprise preschool students. On Friday, the combined seventh and eighth grade marching band marched to Broad View Elementary School.

MARCHING BAND CONTINUED FROM A1 again this year.”

Then on Friday, the combined seventh and eighth grade marching band trooped through the halls of their school and then to Broad View Elementary School, something Manuel has been doing with the marching band for five years.

“This is just kind of to inspire the elementary school kids,” Manuel said.

Manuel said that this is a way to advertise the band programs at the middle school for the elementary school kids, and that he does this for the elementary students to get them “jazzed about the marching band.”
