Priess hangs up hat with reserve By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
After more than six years at the helm, Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve Manager Mark Preiss is hanging up his hat and headed for high country. Preiss has accepted a position as chief executive officer of Glacier National Park Conservancy, the non-profit fundraising partner for the Montana-based park. His last day on the job is set for July 31. Leaving was a difficult decision but Preiss said he feels good about his tenure and is proud of what the community has accomplished. “I think we’ve shown what’s possible,” Preiss said. “People were ready and committed. How can you not be optimistic about the future when you see what’s been accomplished?” “Ebey’s has always been about possibilities,” he said. Al Sherman, a longtime Central Whidbey farmer and Trust Board member, credited Preiss with a series of successes, from his role in helping to overhaul county and Coupeville design review rules to shepherding over innovative new programs that leverage community support. “He’s done a great, job, he really has,” Sherman said. “He just got things done.” According to Jan Pickard, also a Trust Board member, his “visionary leadership style” not only energized the public but galvanized community efforts into a cohesive and effective force. To start, the reserve’s 30th birthday saw the establishment of the annual Ebey’s Forever Conference. The event would later give birth to the highly successful Ebey’s Forever Fund. The community-driven grant program aims to help struggling property owners with the high cost of maintaining historic structures. In 2013 alone, the fund contributed $100,000 to 13 property owners. While Preisssaid he is proud of the work he’s done, he is adamant that the accomplishments over the past six years are really those of the community. All he did was provide a few nudges in the right direction. “What I’m most proud of is I was invited to be a part of this, a part of Ebey’s, to feel its story and help preserve and sustain its unbroken record,” Preiss said. Pickard said the Trust Board will likely hire an interim director to fill in until the position can be filled with a permanent replacement.

Rain or shine, Central Whidbey Lions were out working on preserving two historical structures located on the Pratt Property in Ebey’s Reserve. Inset: The Sheep Barn located on Ebey’s bluff is also being restored by a group out of Michigan.
Groups working together to save Pratt history By Megan Hansen Editor
Several treasured historical structures in Ebey’s Reserve have been getting muchneeded TLC with the help of local and visiting preservationists. Tucked toward the back of Ron Hanson’s property at the top of Ebey’s bluff, are two small structures getting repairs aimed at preserving their historical integrity. The two buildings, originally owned by Frank Pratt Jr., were built in the first part of the 1900s. Just behind a barn and brush are an old child’s playhouse and a house once known as the China Man’s Cabin or Cook’s Cabin. With the help of the Central Whidbey Lion’s Club and Whidbey Partners in Preservation, Hanson is able to preserve the structures sooner than he anticipated. “It’s really about honoring the Pratt’s and
the legacy they left,” Hanson said. “They were stewards of the land.” Frank Pratt Jr. moved to Whidbey Island in 1908 and purchased the Jacob Ebey property and the Ferry House. His intention at the time was preserving the history. He maintained the Ebey House and restored the Ebey Blockhouse. “People don’t know the important stuff,” Hanson said. “He was protecting the land before it was cool.” “He was 70 years ahead of his time.” The children’s playhouse is believed to have been built for Pratt’s son Robert, who upon his death, donated some of the property to nonprofit organizations. Parts of the property ended up in the hands of The Nature Conservatory, who now owns the Sheep Barn, which is farther down from the Jacob Ebey House, tucked in against the bluff. With the help of Partners in Preservation and a group of 12 volunteers who are known
as the Michigan volunteers, the group is also working at preserving the sheep barn. That project include floor and beam repairs. Preservation of these properties included many hands and organizations. The Michigan volunteers traveled across the country to lend a hand and expertise, Central Whidbey Lions provided manpower, supplies and additional support. Hanson provided a place for the out-ofstate volunteers to stay as well as supplies, equipment and other support. Work spanned roughly two weeks. “All of this would not have happened without the initiation and coordination of Whidbey Partners in Preservation,” said Harrison Goodall, founder of the group. “Our purpose has been to stimulate, educate and enable partnerships to support heritage preservation. We are all stewards of this island and working together we can protect it for future generations.”

Ledgewood gets additional state funds for drilling By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
Ledgewood residents’ plea to the governor and state lawmakers paid off this month with an appropriation of $200,000. The money, which was supplied from the state Department of Natural Resources, funded additional drilling and aerial radar mapping in the community. The work is expected to help scientists and engineers better understand the area’s complex and unstable geology and may also provide clues as to what set off the massive landslide that rocked the neighborhood this past March. “We’re really pleased it happened,” said Ralph Young, a water commissioner for Ledgewood. Community leaders sent a letter to Gov. Jay Inslee
and local legislators asking for $500,000, part of which would pay for additional geological work and the rest, $300,000, for stormwater infrastructure improvements. According to Young, much thanks is owed to state Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton. After receiving the letter, she met with Public Lands Commissioner and DNR chief Peter Goldmark. Both agreed that additional geological efforts were warranted and money should be appropriated. “It was the right thing to do,” Smith said. Due to the end of the fiscal year, however, the work had to be completed within a narrow two-week window, said Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works. The past week was spent feverishly digging six more holes at various locations in Ledgewood and Bon Air,

Drillers Keven Doyle and Matt Graham work Thursday morning on a hole in Ledgewood. It was one of six new holes drilled in the areas this past week. The work, which will help scientists and engineers better understanding the areas complex geology, was funded by the state Department of Natural Resources. one of which was right in the middle of the landslide. Road crews spent two days building an access for the large drilling rig. “It’s had three months to settle,” Oakes said. “But we found some spots that were

really soupy.” Core samples taken at the six holes will be studied along with those taken at two other sites in May. All eight holes were drilled to a depth of about 50 feet below sea level, which means those on Fircrest Avenue were about 280 feet deep. “Hopefully, this will en-
able us to give residents a little better of an answer about the geology,” Oakes said. The new funding also paid for lidar, a highly accurate topographical mapping technique that uses lasers pointed at the ground from a plane. Oakes said lidar mapping was conducted one day after the slide occurred but

this second flight revealed just how much the area has settled since the March event. According to Oakes, the state’s help was welcome and would not have been possible with the community’s efforts. “Thanks to the neighborhood for making this happen,” he said. “Absolutely, it was the citizens who generated this money.” Smith said she was not successful securing funding for infrastructure improvements but vowed to continue efforts in the next biennium. There may be possibilities for loans but getting cash will be difficult. “That’s still a bit of an unknown but I’m pleased we were able to get DNR in finishing up the geological work,” Smith said.

Meerkerk seeks volunteers’ help

Socializing with strawberries It was a sweet Saturday at Coupeville United Methodist Church. The congregation’s annual Strawberry Social was steady with attendees looking to satisfy their tastebuds. Members dished up a variety of strawberry items including waffles, short bread and sundaes. While dining on the sweet confections, visitors were entertained by live music and had the opportunity to catch up with friends and family. Organizer Carmen McFadden said church members made 280 shortcakes the night before and she ordered 240 pounds of strawberries. The social is an annual tradition that started in 1914. Back then ice cream and cake were served at 10 cents a dish. Proceeds raised from the event go to help the church’s missionaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Burn ban in effect next week Dry conditions and warm weather is prompting the Island County Fire Marshal to declare a burn ban that will start next week. The burn ban goes into effect at 8 a.m. Wednesday, July 10. Because of the ban, outdoor burning, even with a permit, is prohibited. Recreational and cooking fires are allowed only in approved fire pits that are lined with concrete or metal that are found in established campgrounds, according to information from the Island County Sheriff’s Office. Outdoor burning is also allowed on a propane barbecue, briquette barbecue or a selfcontained camp stove. Any violations should be reported to 911.
Meerkerk Gardens is recruiting volunteers to handle a sticky situation. With rhododendrons mostly done blooming for the season at the sprawling woodland gardens in Greenbank, volunteers are needed to help remove the withered flowers. Joan Bell, operations manager at Meerkerk Gardens, guesses there are thousands of rhodies on the grounds’ 53 acres. However, the focus will be on the 10-acre display garden. There is a reward for becoming one of the gardens’ “Grateful Deadheaders.” Committed volunteers will receive a free Meerkerk tie-dyed T-shirt. Volunteer work parties gather from 9 a.m. until noon on Thursdays year-round at Meerkerk Gardens with
lunch provided afterward. However, volunteers may also work at other times. Instruction on how to properly dead-head the flowers is the first step. Bell said those interested in helping should contact her or nursery manager Susie Reynolds at 360-678-1912 or by email at meerkerk@whidbey.net Bell said those interested in coming out to Meerkerk Gardens to help with deadheading should bring garden gloves. “Not all of them are sticky,” she said. “We have hundreds of rhododendrons on our property. Some are sticky, some are not.” Meerkerk Gardens is looking for volunteers to help in other areas, including maintaining forest paths. Once a month, there is a Saturday work party.

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, July 4, 2013
It’s time for Navy to be better neighbors to Central Whidbey Editor, Whidbey Island has changed a great deal since 1943 when the Outlying Landing Field was built. In 1950 Island County had about 11,000 residents, in 2010 the county had 78,506 residents. A significant number of those new residents have made their homes around the OLF. and I’m one of them, I’ve lived here for 20 years. In the past two years my ears have started to ring constantly. It’s time the Navy recognize that the community around its OLF deserves to have some input on how and when the facility is used. At a bare minimum the Navy should observe the same restrictions that Island County puts on home builders limiting “building construction noises between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.” I don’t think wanting to sleep is asking a lot. The Navy needs to become a better neighbor than it has been to Central Whidbey in the 20 years I’ve lived here.
Eric Tremblay Coupeville
Military personnel have the recourse that civilians don’t Editor, The effects of hearing loss on individuals, family and community are numerous. The greatest effect is the sense of isolation most people experience when they have a hearing loss. This sense of isolation is exacerbated by the invisibility of the handicap and the misunderstanding of the loss and often we make choices not to do anything about it. Most of us know when we have difficulty seeing, break a bone, have cancer, heart disease, the flu, a virus, etc. because we either tell everyone in our lives about it or it is usually visible to others. Hearing loss is not. Hearing loss is usually accompanied by those annoying noises in the ear which get louder as the hearing loss progresses. People with hearing loss have difficulty communicating on the phone, hearing TV, hearing in cars, hearing in any environment where there is background noise. With children, it impacts their learning, education and social acceptance. Hearing loss is often confused with lack of intelligence, the aging process and a number of other prejudices. It is complicated by the fact that most hearing loss starts at the higher frequencies where the consonants of the English language are. It becomes particularly difficult when people talk fast or in higher pitched voices and the processing part of our brains cannot keep up to interpret the “mumbling” which causes more isolation, more stress and less socializing. I am simplifying the complications of hearing, but am trying to get across the difficulties that people with this loss have. In most situations we can choose to protect our hearing, particularly when it comes to noise exposure. OSHA and L&I have rules in place to protect citizens from those harmful noises and if they do not, then the industry is responsible and must compensate those who have been injured. In the military that also holds true, and it does not matter which branch of the military. In my long career as an audiologist, I often adjudicated

NAS Whidbey would be a better fit for Eastern Washington
members of the military and veterans for hearing loss due to noise exposure. Sometimes it was difficult to determine whether or not the loss may have been from recreational shooting, from firecrackers, chain saws or from actual service-related injuries. But because these service members were exposed to known noise exposure of military nature, we were always requested to err on the side of the service members. Military members have recourse and certainly use it and should in return for their service in the new-and-leading environmentally more friendly Navy which has continued to strive for a balance between the needs of the military and the needs of our environment for the good of us all. With the continuous exposure not just to noise, but to jet fuel emissions and exposure to a possible crash, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station has exposed the citizens of Central Whidbey to friendly fire via the Growler jets without any recourse except through civic protest. We all have served this country in one way or the other and if by nothing else through our taxes that have supported the military throughout our working lives. When some citizens only recognize that their Constitutional rights have been infringed upon, without recognizing that those who oppose their views have also had their rights infringed upon the idea of freedom, democracy, patriots, etc. go out the window. It’s time to take a course in history and civics to educate ourselves. I can only address the facts of hearing since I am an expert in that and I do expect that those that do not seem to care that we are sacrificing our hearing and its consequences along with the other, well documented, effects of noise exposure unwillingly and without any recourse respect why we are using the only recourse left to us.
Editor, The military’s whole reason for being is to serve and protect us, which they have ably and nobly done. When instead they harm us, as the new, louder Whidbey Growler jets will surely do as noise meter measurements show, despite promises to the contrary, then the unwritten compact of “we support them and they protect us” breaks down. There is no such thing as citizens having to put up with some amount of physical and mental harm in order to be protected. Any amount of harm is the opposite of protection, and having “a little hearing loss” is like being “a little pregnant.” With the advent of the louder Growlers, extended practice hours and wider flight patterns, a much larger percentage of the population is in harm’s way, and the potential harm is much more serious than it was before. This includes harm to children’s and adults’ hearing, harm to children’s classroom learning and debilitating sleep deprivation for working adults. Whidbey Island has not outgrown the naval air station; the air station has dramatically upped the ante and outgrown Whidbey Island. The sound of freedom has become the sound of abuse, the sound of a mutually beneficial social compact suddenly breaking and becoming lopsided in favor of one party at the expense of the other. Serve and protect has become dictate and don’t care. The military mission of the base is essential to America, but it does not have to be located here. The much more sensible place for these much louder jets to be based and to practice? The vast, desolate scablands of Eastern Washington. I’m sure Doc Hastings and Cathy McMorris Rogers would welcome them with open arms.

U-pick fields offer summer goodness on Whidbey Island By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter
Source: WSU Island County Extension
Warm, summer days on Whidbey mean berry patches are waiting to be picked clean of sweet succulent treats. Several u-pick berry patches scattered throughout the island are up and running and people are rushing to pick the ripest and freshest strawberries and raspberries on Whidbey Island. “We’ve had lots of nice sunshine and that’s what makes the strawberries nice and sweet,” said Dorothy Mueller, owner of Bell’s Farm located off West Beach Road between Oak Harbor and Coupeville. Bell’s Farm strawberries were ripe enough to pick about 10 days ago. Mueller said that, depending on the weather, people will be picking strawberries for about four weeks. The farm, also known for its honesty stand, isn’t the only place on Whidbey Island to go into a field to gather some farm-fresh berries. Mile Post 19 Farm, located at the edge of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve near Outlying Field, is just days away from opening its raspberry field to the public. Owner Jerry Jaderholm said the u-pick is the funnest part of his farm business.
He is selling raspberries out of his store that he opened Wednesday. His staff, comprised of students at Coupeville High School, had combed the bushes to find the ripest of the bunch. Jaderholm said he wants the remaining raspberries to ripen a bit more before opening the u-pick fields to the public. “You want the berries to be easy to pick,” Jaderholm said. To find out when his field will be open to the public, go to the farm’s website at www.milepost19farm.com or its Facebook page. A different type of u-pick operation is thriving on Central Whidbey Island as well. Lavender Wind Farm, located on Darst Road about a block away from Bells Farm, allows people to pick its sweet-scented lavender that is blooming this month. “People love being out in the lavender field,” Lavender Wind Farm owner Sarah Richards said. She said people can pick lavender until it’s harvested, which is usually complete by the end of August. In addition to the Central Whidbey u-pick, strawberries and raspberries are also available on North Whidbey Island. Dugualla Bay Farm, located off Highway 20 between Oak Harbor and Deception Pass State Park, has berry fields that are open

to the public. Strawberries were ripe in mid-June and raspberries should be ready next week, said Dugualla Bay Farm Manager Shari Meagher. People can also purchase loganberries, marionberries and tayberries from the farm’s shop. The u-pick fields are scattered throughout Whidbey Island and provide a family with a reasonable way to have an adventure and a healthy snack at the same time.

Hundreds show for annual Lions garage sale Tens of thousands of dollars raised for charitable efforts By Megan Hansen Editor
Hundreds of people flocked to Coupeville Elementary School over the weekend hoping to score treasures at the annual Coupeville Lions Garage Sale. Crowds waited anxiously prior to the start Saturday morning, zeroing in on items they found the day before. At 9 a.m. the tape dropped and an air horn sounded, sparking a mad dash into the school. Grown men, woman and children raced to claim their treasures. Former Island County Commissioner and Oak Harbor resident Angie Homola attended the sale. She managed to nab a sewing machine for her daughter, but missed out on some aluminum chairs she had eyed the day before. She did walk away with some wooden chairs. There were more than 20 sections of sale items ranging from tools, furniture to household wares, trinkets and even a boat. Inside the school gym
were most of the smaller items including decorative pieces, dishes, games, movies and books. Lion Barb Vaughn, who is in charge of programs for the club, said different Lions are responsible for different sections. Each Lion takes a section, sorts and prices each item. At first, you don’t think you’re going to be able to do it all in time, but it always happens, she said. The group rents the elementary school right after the school year ends and takes about a week to bring in the items and organize. This is the club’s largest fundraiser of the year and usually nets between $30,000-$40,000 each year. All proceeds go back into the community through the Lions’ charitable projects. Items are collected yearround through community donations and are held in multiple barns. Any items leftover from the sale are reviewed to see if they can be sold online, donated to a thrift store or some items are disposed of. To donate items for next year’s sale, call 360-678-4105. A Lion will make arrangements to come get the donation.
