Detective Carl Seim with the Oak Harbor Police Department holds more than 74 grams of black-tar heroin he seized from a drug dealer. He said it’s worth about $5,000.
Relatively cheap, drug’s use is rising on Whidbey
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Once considered a drug for rock stars and hardcore users, heroin has gained a troubling prominence on Whidbey Island, as it has in many communities across the nation. While heroin may not be as popular — or perhaps as destructive — as methamphetamine, Detective Carl Seim with the Oak Harbor Police Department said he worries that the relatively inexpensive but powerful high from black-tar heroin will make it a plague upon the community. And the high is powerful. SEIM, THE department’s drug detective, said he’s heard that paramedics sometimes respond to overdoses to find people unconscious with hypodermic needles still sticking in
their arms. The paramedics administer an opioid antagonist drug like Naloxone, but the users don’t tend to appreciate the intervention. “Usually they get really mad because it will ruin their high,” he said. Zachary Lively, drug court coordinator for Island County Juvenile and Family Court Services, said he’s seen a definite increase in the number of participants who have used opiates, including both prescription pills and heroin. He said opiate abuse “is making an alarming upward trend and will surpass meth if the arc continues.” Equally troubling, he said, is the age of the users. “IT USED to be an older person’s drug, but now we’re seeSEE HEROIN, A10

A North Whidbey man’s lawsuit over the chairmanship of the board of commissioners was dismissed Monday in Island County Superior Court. Judge Alan Hancock ruled that Bill Burnett, who filed the action last July, had abandoned the lawsuit. He awarded to Island County statutory attorney’s fees in the amount of $200. Burnett, acting as his own attorney, filed the “complaint for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief” against the board of commissioners, as well as commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson individually. Burnett asked the court to order the board of commissioners to reinstate Kelly Emerson as chairwoman and issue an injunction stopping the board from any actions
Bill Burnett while “an illegally elected chair” is presiding over meetings. Burnett argued that the two commissioners acted outside of the law in removing Emerson as the chairperson last year and replacing her with a “first-term, first-year commissioner who would not normally be eligible for the chair position.” Johnson and Price Johnson voted during a July
10, 2013 meeting to remove Emerson as the chairwoman and replace her with Johnson; they were upset that Emerson defied the direction of the board by attending public meetings in the other commissioners’ districts. The disagreement didn’t run along party lines; Emerson and Johnson are Republicans while Price Johnson is a Democrat. After filing the lawsuit, Burnett didn’t take any of the necessary subsequent steps to keep the case alive. Last November, Emerson nominated Johnson to be chairwoman in 2014. The motion was approved unanimously. Burnett did not return a call for comment. Burnett is known in the community as a political blogger and a repeat candidate for the Oak Harbor School Board.
Grants will fund pedestrian projects By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-Editor
A total of $374,500 in federal funds will make Oak Harbor a safer place for pedestrians. The city was recently awarded two grants through the Transportation Alternatives Program, a gas-tax fund dedicated to pedestrian and bicycle-related projects. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said the city received a $224,500 grant to install a midblock crosswalk on Whidbey Avenue between the Kmart parking lot and the Roller Barn. The other grant, for $150,000, will fund the repair of the Waterfront Trail near the Veteran’s Memorial on Pioneer Way. A hillside gave way and took out part of the trail a couple of years ago. The grant program funds the projects at 100 percent and requires no local matching money. Dudley said the crosswalk has been a safety concern for some time. He pointed out that people who live in apartments surrounding
the Roller Barn, including older people from the Harbor Tower Village, commonly cross Whidbey Avenue mid-block to get to the commercial lot that includes Saars Marketplace and many other businesses. As a member of the Skagit/Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization, Dudley successfully argued to have the crosswalk named as the top-priority project for the funding source. “There have been multiple near-misses,” he said, adding that a pedestrian was hit by a car at the site before his term as mayor. “Community safety continues to be my top priority,” he said. Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said all of Whidbey Avenue is a concern for the department because of the high volume of traffic and the mix of schools, businesses and homes creates conflicts between vehicles and people on foot. “If it’s about creating a safer area for pedestrians and cars, we’re all for it,” he said of the plans for the crosswalk.

New patrol boat to help with security
Langley Police Department and Oak Harbor Police Department. The boat is a 26-foot rigid hull inflatable, with the capability to moor up against other vessels. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said the boat is far more durable than the county’s current boat, which is approximately 20 years old. Brown said the new boat, with its upgraded capabilities, would have been very helpful in providing rescue and investigative services after the Ledgewood landslide. Moving forward, Brown said, the boat will be a great resource to assist the county in providing boater safety and natural disaster services. Brown said the county’s old boat will likely find a new home with one of the local fire and rescue operations.
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Island County secured a $225,000 grant to purchase a new all-weather patrol vessel. Funding for the boat was issued through the Homeland Security Grant Program under Operation Stonegarden. The purpose of Operation Stonegarden is to “increase border security in direct coordination with state and local law enforcement,” according to county documents. The vessel will be used to increase joint law enforcement marine patrols in the Puget Sound in order to gain a better grasp on cross border activity and to prevent illegal crossings. Local agencies involved are the Coupeville Marshal’s Office, Island County Sheriff’s Office,

Island County has released a preliminary plan to finish the restoration of Ala Spit, a move some claim creates a safety hazard.
County outlines plan for Ala Spit By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A preliminary plan for the restoration of Ala Spit County Park was approved Monday with the aim of making the area more hospitable to salmon. While the initiative has been applauded by conservationists, some say the work has created a safety hazard for park visitors. Island County removed 800 feet of rock and crushed concrete from a center portion of the spit in 2012 in order to restore it to its original state. The intent was to repair the salmon habitat made vulnerable by erosion caused by the blockage. Removal of the bridge-like rocks have made the spit, at high tide, intraversable. Last year, at least two near-drown-
ings occurred when fishermen attempted to cross the spit at full moon high tides. Island County commissioners approved an early plan to continue the restoration process of the spit, a project that should increase the food production for the area’s salmon. The commissioners’ vote provided $50,000 in additional funding from the Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund, and moves the project into its final design stage. Project total with the additional money is $78,350. Dawn Pucci, the county’s salmon recovery coordinator, said that the neck of the spit has always dipped below the water at high tide or during weather events. “In ecology terms, it’s not a public safety issue,” Pucci
said. “It’s always done that.” Pucci said the topography did change a bit when the rock was removed, causing a little more water to wash over the spit than previously. However, Pucci said, that’s just the natural flow of the water and that those visiting Ala Spit should exercise caution. “That’s how the system works,” Pucci said. “But a couple times a month, it doesn’t coincide with people’s recreational plans.” The county has placed signage at the park stating: “Tidal flow can cause swift and deep water which will prevent crossing.” As currently outlined, the project will remove the majority of the remaining rock, the bulkhead will be
removed and the shore will be regraded to improved accessibility. The edge of the parking lot will also be pulled back to increase the shore area. Pucci said the parking lot will not lose the number of spots, but will just use the space more efficiently. “It will be interesting to watch it change,” Pucci said. “There’s going to be a lot of learning going on there.” The county will now complete a feasibility study, evaluating options for the rock and bulkhead removal, and move forward with bid documents and permitting. The state’s Salmon Recovery Plan ranks Ala Spit in the highest priority for early rearing of wild migrant Chinook salmon.

Dancing helping seniors to stay in step By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff Reporter
As seniors age gracefully, many are also learning to move gracefully. Fortunately for seniors living on Whidbey Island, there are plenty of options when it comes to dancing. And none of them require previous training or experience. “I had two left feet,” said Vivian Camus. “I didn’t have any rhythm.” Camus is now taking a line dancing class at Oak Harbor Senior Center three to five times a week, and she can no longer claim she doesn’t have rhythm. Camus didn’t start dancing just because she wanted to learn how. Camus, who moved to Oak Harbor to be with her children after her husband died, began taking dance classes in 2009 because she wanted to meet new people. “I have a wide group of people outside of line dancing that I met in line dancing, so it’s been good for me,” she said. She said that she also dropped from a size 16 to a size 10 quickly because dancing is a great form of exercise. Dan Branscum, of Dan’s Classic Ballroom in Oak Harbor, said that dancing is the “world’s best exercise for adults.” Core strength and stamina are only two of the many health benefits he says dancing offers. The benefits of dancing for senior citizens continues to gain attention by researchers. Studies have shown that “shaking it,” as the kids might say, not only makes for excellent exercise and socialization, but is also good for the brain and can even help jog forgotten memories, the AARP reports. Plus, it’s just fun. Jean Owen, a teacher of a couple

Jean Owen teaches a line dancing class at Oak Harbor Senior Center Friday afternoon. line dancing classes at the senior center, started dancing for the health benefits after a surgery to fix a major artery. Before the surgery, Owen said she could barely walk across the street, and now she line dances three days a week. She started taking a “Healthy You” class in Sequim after her surgery, something that was being offered for those recovering from surgery, but it was line dancing that really caught her interest. “I started taking line dancing after I was well enough to start doing exercises,” she said. “And that’s what started me line dancing, and when I moved over here, I didn’t want to stop line dancing.” One thing many seem to agree
on is that dancing is also good for the mind. “Not only do you use your body, but you also have to use your brain a lot, too,” Branscum said. In ballroom dancing, he said, the leads have to always be thinking of and planning the next moves they will make around the dance floor, and the ladies have to constantly be remembering to hold their frame and be prepared to follow the lead of their partner. There are studies that show dancing increases cognitive acuity, helps to ward off Alzheimer’s and other dementia and reduces stress, according to Richard Powers, a dance teacher at Stanford University.
Helen Neitzel, a co-teacher of a line dancing class at the senior center, agrees that a huge benefit of dancing is keeping the mind sharp, because you always have to remember the steps to the dances. However, Neitzel’s favorite part of line dancing is the people she gets to spend time with. The line dancing classes Neitzel and Owen teach together has turned into a second family, of sorts. “Everybody looks out for everybody,” Owen said. The group celebrates birthdays together with monthly potlucks. Owen and Neitzel started teaching line dancing classes when the previous teacher moved away. Neither wanted to stop line danc-
ing, so they took up the reins themselves. Owen, 87, is an inspiration for some of her students. “She has such a natural gift to some of us who thought we had two left feet,” said Marilyn Trout, a student who said she can’t keep up with Owen. “She’s just such a wonderful, wonderful person.” Owen teaches a beginner and intermediate class on Tuesdays at the senior center from noon to 2 p.m., then another two-hour line dancing class at 6 p.m. Wednesdays and a Friday line dancing class from 1-2 p.m. “She’s pretty amazing,” said Norvin Stanley, of Owen. “She’s hard to keep up with.” According to Owen, the senior center gets $10 a month for the classes, but she doesn’t charge anything as a teacher. She puts out a donation jar, which students are free to put in as much or as little as they want. Owen said she and Neitzel split the money, and she puts it towards things like the birthday potlucks and equipment. Aside from offering line dance classes, hula dancing and ballroom dance classes, the senior center also hosts a monthly dance on the second Friday of each month, open to anyone, and everyone is encouraged to attend. The senior center classes usually have around 20 people in them, according to Owen, but if you’re more interested in smaller classes, Branscum said his studio specializes in small classes with only four to eight people in them and private sessions are also offered.

ONE HUNDRED and still laughing
By CELESTE ERICKSON Staff reporter
F
reeland resident Harold Robinett recently joined a select group of people in this world. This month, he became a centenarian. Born in Oregon in 1914, Robinett has led a full life, from joining the Navy to finding love twice, all while making unforgettable treats along the way. Robinett turned 100 on Sunday, April 6. A community celebration was held in his honor at Clinton Community Hall. Robinett, who lives in Maple Ridge in Freeland, exercises every morning and avoids coffee and alcoholic drinks. He even drove and tended to his home in Maxwelton up until last year. That never surprised his daughter-in-law, Debbie Daumen, who often keeps Robinett’s mantra in mind. “‘A body in motion, stays in motion.’ He always told us that,” she said. Robinett joined the Navy when he was barely 17 years old and wore the uniform for the next 20 years. He served aboard the USS Chicago during World War II in the Pacific Theater. The ship made several stops in the Pacific while heading to Australia. “It was a nice big ship,” he remembered. “I was doing what was necessary to get home.” Luckily, Robinett was sent back to the base before the cruiser was sunk by Japanese torpedoes in 1943. “A guy told me to ‘pack
it up, start doing something different,’” he recalled. Robinett moved to Whidbey Island in the early 1950s while still in the Navy, later staying on the base working as a firefighter until his retirement. With his wife Sally, the Robinetts adopted four children — Delores, Patsy, Mary Sue and Martin — from Japan in the 1950s to start their own family. For Martin Robinett, his father was a tough man who taught his children to be hard workers. “He’s stern. A good husband, good father - quite stern,” Martin recalls. “He meant what he said and when he said something, we listened.” Martin, who lives in Coupeville, said he is looking forward to being with his father and meeting his friends to share memories in the upcoming celebration. “It’s hard to believe that
dad’s going to be 100,” he said. “You don’t meet too many people who are going to be 100.” One of Martin’s favorite memories with his father was fishing at Bush Point when he was about 12 years old. “I caught more fish than he did,” Martin said enthusiastically “I didn’t think I was going to catch anything.” Martin caught five humpies that day, two more than his father. Robinett was also an avid golfer, taking his clubs wherever he went. After Sally’s passing, Robinett married his second wife Geanie, who had three children of her own. Together they traveled the country and parts of Canada in a new venture, selling homemade caramels and syrup called Grandma’s Old Fashioned Caramels. Martin still remembers the delicious taste of the treats, which he still keeps in his

The couple visited many fairs and festivals dressed in old Victorian-style attire to sell the sweets. “It was always the family treat,” Robinett said. Robinett credits his longevity to a daily dose of oatmeal, his homemade lemon honey
and vinegar juice and, until recently, frequent golfing. Robinett golfed with a group on Whidbey for 18 years and said he always walked the course, even when his teammates rode the golf cart. “It’s pretty amazing, he’s as healthy as can be,” Daumen said. He also said a lot of laugh-
ter keeps his spirits up. “We’re always keeping each other laughing,” she said. Daumen told Robinett she always knew he would make it to be at least 100. “How did you know I could make it that far?” he asked Daumen. “Because I believe in you,” she said.

Schools are where communities unite GUEST COLUMN
By Dr. LANCE GIBBON At least once a year in an Oak Harbor classroom, students witness one of the most profound acts of selflessness a person can make — the reenlistment of a Navy parent. This illustrates perfectly the vital connection between Oak Harbor schools and our Navy community. April is the Month of the Military Child around our nation. However, here in Oak Harbor, we focus on the needs of our military students every day. In fact, over half of our students are dependents of activeduty parents, and Oak Harbor Schools have been working with the unique needs of Navy families for more than 70 years. It is truly a privilege to serve those who serve our country. We understand the many sacrifices our military families make and believe that no Navy parent should ever have to worry about the quality of education their child receives. That’s why we work so hard to ensure every student receives the opportunity to learn in modern, well-maintained schools, led by talented and dedicated teachers. We have more programs for more types of learners than you can find in any school district in our region, and we’re constantly improving, moving our schools from good to great to deliver the highest quality education for every child. Not long ago, roughly 60 percent of our Navy students had a parent deployed to a war zone. The Navy’s job is to protect our country; our job is to support that sacrifice here at home. Actively connecting with students and parents before, during, and after deployment to cope with the natural stress of separation is a vital part of who we are. Picking up and moving is an integral part of Navy life, and some of our schools see 20 percent turnover in the student population in a single school year. We work with parents and students to help make this transition as seamless and positive as possible. And our kids are fantastic at welcoming newcomers into the classroom. During my seven years in Oak Harbor, I have had the honor of working side-by-side with Navy volunteers and leaders in our schools. Navy partners have built playgrounds and walking paths and gardens. They have helped coordinate traffic at big events. Some have tutored math after school. And individuals have even stayed in touch with classrooms while deployed around the world, offering both geography and life-lessons in the process. We would not be the schools we are without our Navy families. Their contributions as parents, volunteers and partners have truly made a difference in the lives of all Oak Harbor students. Our role as a school community is to provide the best SEE GIBBON, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Land purchase
Hospital officials memories ‘suspect’ Editor, I believe it’s time for a little history lesson regarding the Whidbey News Time’s article, “Hospital board to consider Bayview property sale.” The article notes that, “As for the wide gulf between the county’s assessed value of the property in 2007 and the purchase price, the circumstances remain unclear. None of the current commissioners were on the board at the time, and the hospital also has a different chief executive officer …” It also quotes public relations person Trish Rose saying, “… since executive sessions do not produce minutes or notes, we have no record or knowledge of the reasoning used in setting the property purchase price.” Both Trish Rose and current CEO Tom Tomasino worked for the hospital in an administrative capacity at the time this 2007 decision was made. We must remember that the current CEO, Tom Tomasino, was appointed chief operating officer in 2002. He was then assigned “interim” CEO in
October 2008. Since Mr. Tomasino was COO from 2002 until his 2008 CEO appointment, I would think he would have some recollection or “knowledge of” and “the reasoning used” for this mega-purchase back in 2007. From her statements in the December 2007 South Whidbey Record article, “Hospital buying land at Bayview,” Rose was apparently actively involved in the planning of this acquisition as well. She stated, “… the new clinic would continue to offer the same services as the old one in Clinton, plus a few more …” “Rose said the new facilities will be more centrally located to better serve the population of South Whidbey.” Again, another current Whidbey General executive has “knowledge of” and “the reasoning used” for the circumstances regarding this purchase/ price. So, the statement that, “no one knows why” this property purchase was made at such a “wide gulf of assessed value and the purchase price,” is highly suspect. For being such blatantly negligent stewards of our community and our taxpayer funds, you would think we would finally get some honest answers to our many questions. However, that might also require Whidbey General
to change their monthly public board meetings back to 5 or 6 p.m. when the community could attend. Whidbey General most certainly knew that the 7 a.m. meetings would create an attendance hardship because of most peoples’ work and schedules, and pubic attendance would decrease. Maybe that is part of Whidbey General’s plan as well; keep their accessibility, and public involvement, to a minimum. Patricia Nathan-Ulloa Coupeville
‘Dirty deed’
Change city’s name to ‘Dudley Harbor?’ Editor, Our elected officials go behind closed doors and plan the execution of the very symbol of Oak Harbor. They destroyed the “oak.” Just think, that tree was looking down over the harbor for more than 100 years before Lewis and Clark came west. Well, they have done their dirty deed. The “oak” of Oak Harbor is gone. Shall SEE BROWN, A7

we rename our city Dudley Harbor? We no longer have the “oak,” but we still have the “Dudley.” They used the excuse someone might get hurt by falling apart. Are they going to close down all vehicle traffic because someone might get hurt in a hit and run accident. Are our leaders going to cushion our streets and sidewalks because someone might stumble and fall? Our city engineers should have installed “fall proof” sidewalks with all these people walking down the street playing with their cell phones and not watching where they are going. Who will they sue when they run into a light pole? Hank Williams had a hit

Tax-Aide
Program helps local economy Editor, Tax season is officially over, and we can’t let it go by without thanking the AARP Tax-Aide volunteers who provided weeks of free tax assistance for individuals at SnoIsle Libraries in Oak Harbor, Coupeville and the South Whidbey Senior Center. This year, the 40 or so volunteers prepared 1,246 tax returns, an increase of about 3 percent over last year. Just
under 58 percent of those returns were completed in Oak Harbor, more than 19 percent in Coupeville and 23 percent in Langley. For 2013 returns that were filed electronically, earned income tax credit awarded to our residents totaled $186,825; refunds totaled $1,307,740 and balances due total was $342,931. That’s a net total refund of $964,809 coming into our local economy. Coordinator John Howard said the program would not be possible if the libraries did not provide free locations and wifi.

HEROIN CONTINUED FROM A1

Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill speaks with a participant in adult Drug Court, which has been successful in helping nonviolent offenders get clean and sober. The program has seen an increase in the number of people who are addicted to heroin.
ing young people — 15-yearolds, 16-year-olds — who are using,” Lively said. Officials attending an Island County Law and Justice Council meeting earlier this year offered a startling assessment of the ubiquity of heroin on Whidbey Island, including stories of students on South Whidbey commonly using heroin at parties. Prosecutor Greg Banks said he is spearheading a task force on the council to tackle the problem. He said it will require “a coordinated effort by the justice system, treatment providers, schools, and others who can influence and discourage potential users, and identify and disrupt the behavior of addicts.” While he’s heard stories about the rise of heroin from police and treatment providers, he said he’s also personally aware of several young people from his soccer coaching days on South Whidbey who are now in their early 20s and abusing heroin. “It was stunning to me,” he said. “These were kids from stable families. I watched them grow up, by all outward appearance, in a fairly normal way.” IT’S DIFFICULT To find statistics that give a meaningful picture of current heroin usage in the community; in fact, many officials say the lack of hard data makes it more difficult to respond to the perceived problem, though state and national statistics show a clear trend of increased heroin use. Banks said the number of heroin trafficking and heroin possession cases his office handles are still relatively small and it’s therefore hard to demonstrate a trend. Last year, for example, the office received 17 heroin possession cases. Island County Public Health reported in the Healthy Youth Survey that the number of high school students who admit to using heroin waxed and waned in recent years. The report states that 2.8 percent of 12th graders in the county reported in 2006 that they had used heroin. The statistics increased to 5.3 percent in 2008, dropped to 3.1 percent in 2010 and increased again to 5.2 percent in 2012. A 2013 University of Washington study shows that the rate of police drug evidence testing positive for heroin skyrocketed 16-fold in a decade. During 2001-02, only 1.3 percent of evidence was heroin; it increased to 20.9

percent in the years 2011-12. The number of hospitalizations and deaths from opiaterelated overdoses in Island County spiked in 2012. The 2013 data is currently not available. Washington State Department of Health reports that total of 23 people in the county were hospitalized for opiate-related overdoses in 2012, as compared to seven a decade earlier. Twelve people died from opiate-related overdoses in 2012, as compared to three people in 2002. Island County Coroner Robert Bishop, however, attributes the majority of opiate-related deaths to prescription medications, such as oxycodone. Bishop said he he’s seen little, if any, increase in heroin-related deaths. ABOUT A quarter of participants in drug court in recent years have been opiate abusers, Lively said, but that includes both heroin and pills. There’s a strong connection between prescription drugs abuse and heroin, however, said Seim. From speaking with users, he said he learned that many of them start out by getting hooked on pills. Some of them have turned to heroin because the formula for prescription opiates has changed, making it more difficult for abusers to break them down to inject or otherwise abuse. In addition, heroin is much cheaper than pills. A 27-YEAR-OLD North Whidbey man, who asked not to be identified, describes himself as being part of the drug scene. He said heroin started showing up on Whidbey Island in 2010 and has become “an epidemic.” He said $20 can buy enough heroin to get two people high “for a day and a half.” While heroin is very addictive, the man said the worse part is withdrawals, which he describes as a nearly unbearable combination of nausea, diarrhea, agitation, sleeplessness and other side effects. Seim said that, as far as he knows, the heroin on the island is all black tar, which comes in brownish, vinegarysmelling chunks. The vast majority of the raw material for heroin comes from Afghanistan poppy fields, according to the federal government. The heroin on Whidbey Island likely comes from Mexico, where the Afghanistan opium is turned into the more refined product, Seim said. SEIM ADVISES parents to be aware that pieces of aluminum foil, particularly those criss-crossed with oddlooking line patterns, are one sign that someone may be
using heroin. People who smoke heroin, Seim said, often mix it with Coca-Cola that has been heated to a syrup; this sweetens the bitter taste of the drug. The melted concoction is poured in lines on tin foil. The lines are heated with a lighter from below and the smoke is inhaled. Of course, heroin can also be heated into a liquid and injected with a syringe. Seim said addicts talk about “chasing the high” from the first, euphoric time they use. “Teenagers and young people don’t understand the consequences of heroin and meth,” he said, “and how it can ruin your life.” AS ADDICTIVE and destructive as heroin is, there is hope — and help. Island County Superior Court, for example, has drug courts for both juveniles and adults. The participants are those who have committed nonviolent crimes. They must acquiesce to a tough regimen of drug testing, therapy and supervision; in exchange, the charges against them will be dropped if they graduate. The offenders tend to have serious drug problems and the supervision is rigorous, so it’s remarkable that 53 percent of both juveniles adults have graduated. Lively notes that opiate addiction has the highest rates of relapse, failure of long-term recovery and overdose deaths. Historically, drug courts are successful at significantly lowering recidivism rates, according to Andrew Somers, assistant court administrator. “Research across the board has shown that when you pair treatment with consequences, you have a much greater success rate,” he said. BEFORE HE was a drug court coordinator, Lively worked as a community corrections officer for the Department of Corrections and, before that, as a police officer in Mount Vernon. He said he’s seen the drug problem “from several different angles.” Both Lively and Somers have decades of experience working with drug users. While they are far from naive — they’ve heard every excuse in the book — they are sympathetic to people who’ve become hooked and believe drug policy should be realistic and practical. Lively pointed out that addiction “rewires” people’s brains; some people have a physical propensity to addiction. He believes addiction should be treated as a medical disorder. Somers agrees. “Access to treatment in the community is critical,” he said.

Stage is set for Holland Happening next week By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Oak Harbor High’s culinary arts students bring back Dutch Dinner By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
N
obody ever said restoring an Oak Harbor tradition as big as the Dutch Dinner would be easy. For Nathan Yoast, the effort actually brought him to tears. Yoast couldn’t take it anymore Wednesday as he set down his knife and rinsed his eyes after chopping dozens of onions in the culinary arts class at Oak Harbor High School. He is one of several students tasked with reviving a longtime Holland Happening occasion that has been missing in recent years. Thanks to a boost from the Oak Harbor culinary arts program and its instructor, Mary Arthur, the authentic Dutch Dinner is back. It takes place 5:307:30 p.m. April 25 at the First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor. About half of the 400 tickets have been sold so far to an event that was a mainstay at the church for more than 20 years until coming to an end three years ago, according to former Holland Happening entertainment chairperson Jan Ellis. “I was delighted, just delighted,” Ellis said. “The older gals that were in
charge of that, some of them passed on and you just burn out. This is a great project for the culinary arts group. They are going to serve just about everything on the (original) menu.” Ellis, who’s been a part of every Holland Happening event since it started 46 years ago, furnished the authentic Dutch dinner menu after the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce was successful in recruiting the high school’s decorated culinary arts program. “When I got the job here a little over a year ago, one of the first things people started asking me about was, ‘Are you going to bring back the Dutch dinner,’” said Kathy Reed, the chamber’s executive director. “I was like, ‘I don’t know. Tell me about it.’” The dinner is a warm-up to Holland Happening, Oak Harbor’s Dutch celebration that features most of its events April 26-27. The dinner will consist of erwtensoep (traditional Dutch split pea soup), hutspot (mashed potatoes with carrots and onions), gehaktballen (Dutch meatballs) and roggebrood (rye bread). Since the culinary arts students don’t work with deepfried foods, the traditional Dutch donuts known as Olie Bollen will be replaced

The experience has been enriching for the students, many who have never tasted Dutch food before. They prepared all of the dishes recently to sample and tinker a little with the flavor. Some students who swore they didn’t like peas ended up enjoying the split pea soup, Arthur said. “It was nice for them to be able to experience a cuisine that was not what they would normally have and really enjoy the food,” Arthur said. “I think it’s pretty cool that we get to do this,” junior Jose Lupos said. “There are other caterers out there but they chose our high school.” Oak Harbor’s culinary arts program, mentored by
chef Scott Fraser of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway, has advanced to a national competition seven of the past eight years. The culinary arts students make up Wildcat Catering, which serves to several community events each year. Students learn the basics of cooking in a class called “Food for Today” before advancing to culinary arts. “We come here and it’s like catering on a mass scale,” senior Sheyenne Sams said. “It’s pretty intense. Yesterday, we made like 200 cinnamon rolls in two hours. It’s different. Chef, she doesn’t get angry, but she wants stuff done the way she wants it done.” Wednesday, that meant chopping then caramelizing onions for the Hutspot. They would prepare, then freeze enough to serve more than 200 people at the Dutch
dinner. “After a while, it starts to bug your eyes,” Yoast said of the onions. Preparing Dutch food has been an eye-opener for senior Devynn Williams, too. “Some of them sounded kind of weird,” she said. “I don’t know how to say almost any of them except for hutspot.” And that’s progress for Williams, who’s lived in Oak Harbor her whole life. “I never honestly knew what Holland Happening was,” she said. “I didn’t even know it was a Dutch holiday And now I do.” Tickets for the Dutch dinner are $15. They may be purchased at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce or two sites in Coupeville — bayleaf on Coveland Street or Cascade Insurance Agency on Main.
Holland Happening will celebrate its 46th year April 25-27 in downtown Oak Harbor. The event, a celebration of Oak Harbor’s Dutch heritage and King’s Day, a national holiday in the Netherlands, will start out lightly April 25 with the opening of the carnival and return of the Dutch dinner. The bulk of the festivities, including a parade, live music, a street fair, children’s entertainment, food vendors and traditional events such as Klompen Canal Races, take place over the weekend. The center of activity will be Pioneer Way, which will be closed to vehicle traffic starting at about 3 p.m. April 25 until about 7 p.m. April 27. Bayshore Drive will be closed on April 26 from 10 a.m. until about 1:30 p.m. to make room for the parade, which starts at 11 a.m. The carnival will run all three days, opening at 4 p.m. April 25. The Dutch Dinner will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. April 25 at the First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor. One change this year will be the addition of a second stage for entertainment, said Kathy Reed, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber, which is putting on the event. A main stage will be set up near the Oak Harbor Tavern where local bands will perform with music ranging from rock and roll to country to folk from 7-11 p.m. April 26. A second “storytime stage” will be set up near Dock Street, catering to children. Storytime will take place in the afternoons over the weekend. Other entertainers at Holland Happening will be Coupeville juggler and comic Marcus Raymond, an oompah band, Whidbey Playhouse Improv team and the high school choir. The Klompen Canal Races are set for 1 p.m. April 27. For more information, go to www.oakharborchamber. com

GRACE BY THE SEA • AN ANGLICAN EXPRESSION OF FAITH
Concordia Lutheran Church
Family treasures its community roots after 60 years in business As soon as the birds return to Whidbey Island and delicate buds decorate fruit trees, I long to move outside. I make a plan for my raised-bed vegetable garden, now surrounded by an “anti-bunny” fence my husband built last year from aged cedar. But I have a confession: My desire to be a good gardener far outweighs my talent. Any successes I have are somewhat haphazard. I can be taught, and little by little I witness improvements. But gardening in the Pacific Northwest includes a unique set of challenges. For years, I’d purchase healthy vegetable and herb starts and stick them in the ground will-nilly, not knowing if the varieties had any chance of thriving here on the island. This year I’m redirecting my enthusiasm and reading STEVE SOLOMON’S book, “Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades.” Solomon started the Territorial Seed Company and is a recognized expert on organic vegetable gardening. His narratives are captivating and loaded with vital information. A nice selection of Territorial seeds can be purchased at Skagit Farmer’s Supply as well as the beautiful catalogue the company produces yearly. I’ve also made my way to THE GREENHOUSE FLORIST AND NURSERY, owned by the VANDENHAAK FAMILY, which is this year celebrating 60 years in business. I recently enjoyed an extended conversation with Audrey and she confirmed what I’ve learned through the school of hard knocks: unless you use seeds or plant starts specifically grown for this region, you will experience high plant failure. For this reason the VandenHaak family makes use of its own greenhouses and features suppliers who grow solely for the Pacific Northwest gardener. “When you’ve been in business as long as we have,” she commented this week, “you’ve seen every possible weather spell. We want you to start out on the right foot!” That is music to my ears and gives me hope. Watching good intentions slowly get crushed by poor soil conditions or unusual weather patterns, weeds gone wild or improper watering techniques can be brutal to one’s gardening ego. Greenhouse employees are dedicated to helping you each step of the way. All you’ve got to do is ask questions. I have another confession: When visiting the nursery, it’s hard not to get completely side-tracked. They feature lovely home and garden décor created by local artists, as well as ample supplies for those into fountains or hydroponic gardening, terrariums or bonsai. I saw orchids and African violets and succulents. When I walked outside I found some beautiful artichoke plants, featuring varieties well suited for Whidbey. Two are now growing in my garden and I hope they mature as beautifully as the rhubarb plant I purchased there several seasons ago. “So what do you love most about this business?” I asked. Without missing a beat I learned the VandenHaak family treasures their deep roots in the community and working beside family members. Their Dutch heritage will be celebrated during Holland Happening events the last weekend in April when Audrey volunteers her time to sweep the streets while walking the parade route in traditional Dutch clothing, running the canal races and selling wooden shoes. In the meantime the VandenHaaks will happily guide gardening wannabes like me, and create beautiful flower arrangements for everyone seeking natural beauty during all the occasions life presents to us. n Joan Bay Klope can be reached at harborhighlights@ hotmail.com

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

CONTINUED FROM A1
Naval Air Station Thursday to be greeted by a crowd of military personnel and excited family members. The pilots and their electronic warfare officers flew the squadron’s five EA-18G Growlers back to NAS Whidbey from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman. VAQ-130 is the second carrier-based squadron to deploy using the Growler and the fourth aircraft in the squadron’s history. Squadron support and maintenance personnel were airlifted in on Friday. Coming home after such a long deployment means a lot to the squadron, according to Lt. Scott Brazelton, public affairs officer for VAQ-130. “It’s gonna mean everything,” Brazelton said shortly before the aircrew arrived Thursday. “This is one of the longer deployments VAQ has done.” “It’s a long time for sailors to be away from their families.” Brazelton said the squadron is guaranteed a couple weeks of postdeployment leave, but that it’s possible they could be deployed again shortly if Navy leadership requires it. “The real heroes of this deployment are the families of VAQ-130 and our sailors,” Cmdr. Jeff Chism,
“At this time, I don’t think I can be as effective as president,” Hunt said. Hunt stepped down from the position during the school board’s April 14 meeting. He nominated fellow board member Christine Cribb to succeed him. Cribb’s appointment was unanimously approved. Hunt said he has served on the school board for seven years, and was the president of the board for about six months. He also spent a year as school board president about three years ago. According to Hunt, the position of president is rotated among the school board members. For the past nine years, Hunt has battled the progressively worsening effects of Parkinson’s disease. Hunt said the disease’s progression recently accelerated, and because it impacts his communication skills, it will be hard to predict in the future how that might affect his ability to lead the board. Therefore, he said, it was time someone else took the reins as president. “Somebody else could fill that role better than me.” Despite stepping down as president, Hunt said he intends to

Katelin Grant, with son Ben, cry as they welcome home their husband and father Lt. Cmdr. Jim Grant from deployment in Afghanistan. VAQ-130’s commanding officer, said in a news release. “They have endured over 400 days of separation since we began preparations for deployment back in September of 2012. “I am humbled by their service to our nation and proud to serve alongside them.” The squadron originally deployed in July 2013, starting in Virginia, followed by continued training in the Azores in Portugal. They also trained off the coast of Spain, France, Italy and Greece, and were allowed a port call in Marseille, France. The Zappers went on to support forces on the ground in Afghanistan for approximately seven months, during which time
they flew 226 combat missions and completed 1,596 combat hours over Afghanistan. Chism said these lengthy missions, at times spanning eight hours in duration, were made possible by the hard work of the squadron. In addition to supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, the Zappers conducted joint flight operations with the French aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle, in January 2014. Although VAQ-130 spent most of their time working aboard the Harry S Truman, the squadron did make three Middle Eastern port calls each in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Manama, Bahrain. A final port call was allowed in Palma, Spain.

remain on the board for the time being, but added he will to take it on a “month to month” basis. Hunt said he can’t make a “best guess” about how long he’ll remain on the board, because there’s no way to predict how symptoms of Parkinson’s might affect him. HUNT Hunt said he is scheduled to undergo brain surgery in September. For that, he expects he will have to take at least a month off. If he is still serving on the school board at that time, Hunt said the outcome of that surgery may play a large factor in determining how long he chooses to remain in the elected position. Hunt said it was Cribb’s turn to fill the role of president and that he believes she’ll do a good job. Hunt said he thinks that a new point of view in the president’s position will be a refreshing change, one that will keep the school district moving in the same positive direction it’s been going. Christine Abbott was unanimously elected as the new vice president, to fill Cribb’s former role.
