Back in the saddle Hunt ready to serve as board president again By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

About a year after stepping down from the role, Peter Hunt reassumed the position as board president of the Oak Harbor School Board last week. In April 2014, Hunt stepped down as president citing health concerns. He ceded the role to Christine Cribb. Cribb recently was appointed as the executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, however, and said she didn’t believe she could dedicate as much time on school matters as the role of board president requires. “I cannot visit all the schools and everything that I’d like to do as board president in the way I did it before my repositioning at SEE HUNT, A5

Army learns from the Navy Helicopter crews train to survive under water at NAS Whidbey pool By JANIS REID Staff reporter

A trainee’s first step is to learn to pull oxygen from a small air tank while under water. The emergency tanks, which are issued to all military air crew who fly over water, hold

about 3,000 psi, or 20 good breaths, and can mean the difference between life and death. But, “it depends on how stressed out you are,” said Lt. Cmdr. Chris Cooper, with the Aviation Survival Training Center located at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. “We just tell them to relax and control their breathing.” Army crew members who pilot UH-60 Black Hawks and AH-64 Apache Echos out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord joined the ranks last week of trainees from all over the world. The Whidbey-based training center is one of only eight such installations and services

all branches of the military. All over-water crew members are required to complete and pass the training once every four years. After completing that first air-tank exercise three times, trainees move on to phase two of what the military calls the “crawl, walk, run” approach, according to Cooper. “It increases their comfort level in the water,” Cooper said.

OHHS culinary program among the ‘Elite 50’ By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Oak Harbor High School’s culinary program is now recognized as one of the top 50 high school hospitality programs in the country. “The Wildcats, for a number of years now, have kind of stood out in the … high school culinary education area in Washington,” said Lyle Hildahl, director of the Washington Restaurant Association Education Foundation, which partners

with the culinary program at the high school. The ranking, awarded by Sullivan University, is awarded to schools that excel in their hospitality area and have strong enrollment and influence in their community. The application also must include an original recipe with photos or a restaurant management design, two student essays on the topic of why they wish to pursue hospitality careers and any

further information about the school’s program. Oak Harbor High School is one of only two programs west of the Rocky Mountains to receive the Elite 50 designation, according to Shawna Davis, the Career and Technical Education secretary at the high school. “It’s not just a nod to the program,” said Chef Mary Arthur, who runs the SEE TOP 50, A5

When completed, Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation’s new building will greatly increase the nonprofit agency’s capacity. WAIF’s current shelter can hold 38 cats. The new shelter, which broke ground July 2014, will hold up to 150. In addition to a larger cat holding area, the number of dog kennels will jump from 32 to 48, with room to grow, said WAIF’s Development and Communications Manager Cinnamon O’Brien. O’Brien and Development Director Claire Creighton said they are excited to have all of the added space. “We’re going to have areas that we’ve never had before,” Creighton said. “I’m excited about the cat community rooms, and the six acres for the shelter dogs and the play area for the dogs. “It’s going to be a healthier, happier environment.” Creighton and O’Brien are two of the leaders in charge of raising funds for the new shelter. WAIF’s new shelter recently received a $25,000 grant from Petco Foundation. When WAIF’s executive director, Charles Vreeland, applied for the grant, the nonprofit shelter was happy to get it. “We were hoping for it,” O’Brien said. “Sometimes it’s a little difficult to get grants for capital campaigns. “It was a vote of confidence from Petco Foundation.” Another business supporting WAIF’s capital campaign to fund the new shelter is Payless Foods, a grocery store based in Freeland. If someone donates to the shelter, Payless matches the contribution. “People are drawn to it because if they give $100, it becomes $200,” O’Brien said. The offer is good through April 15 and is for a match of up to $50,000, a potential $100,000 windfall for WAIF. Most of the funds, however, come from individuals in the community. “It has come mostly from private donors,

people interested in the shelter,” Creighton said. “It’s people who have an attachment to the island. “I did a lot of hand delivery from Coupeville down the island,” she said. “In hand delivering, I was able to tell them why this was happening and ask them whether they were animal people.” This capital campaign is different from the funding for daily operations at the shelter. “WAIF gets a great deal of support from the community on a day-to-day basis,” O’Brien said. “It (the shelter campaign) hasn’t taken away from our operations.” “We’re really asking the community to step in in a big way,” Creighton said, adding the response has been great. “The money has really been coming in the door since we broke ground on the shelter,” she said. “There are many ways people can contribute to the new shelter.” There will be recognition for those who donate, she said. For example, for $50, people can tag a wall — essentially engraving their name, a pet’s name or a loved one’s name into a steel tag. They can do that online or by filling out a brochure at each WAIF location — the cat cottages in Oak Harbor and Freeland and the Coupeville cat and dog shelter, which will all remain open after the new shelter opening. When people pay for a tag, it’s a way of leaving a legacy, O’Brien said. “A lot of people love leaving legacies for the animals they love and the people they love,” she said. WAIF is about a half million dollars from reaching its funding goal, and volunteers are trying to raise that by the end of the summer, Creighton said. That’s when the shelter is anticipated to be completed. “We wanted to get into a building that was built to be a shelter. It (the current facility) was only meant to be a temporary shelter,” Creighton said. “We want a building to call our own. “This is a transformational moment for WAIF.”

Brides to get sample of island’s wedding offerings By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Future brides and grooms will get another opportunity to see what Whidbey Island has to offer during a bridal show in Oak Harbor Saturday. The Whidbey Wedding Inspirations Bridal Show, which is resuming after a year off, will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Best Western Plus Harbor Plaza and Conference Center. The event is geared toward couples on Whidbey and surrounding areas planning to get married in 2015 or 2016 and looking for inspiration and ideas from wedding professionals. Vendors from on and off the island are on hand to provide advice for wedding planning and other resources. The event, which is free to the public, also showcases

Whidbey as a wedding destination. “Half already might have a venue,” said Janet McCall, a media consultant with Blaine-based Pacific Coast Weddings, which publishes a regional wedding resource guide. “A lot of them will be shopping for a venue. “Some people might just be looking for a place outside. It depends on where their inspiration is taking them. That’s another reason to go to these shows, is to get the inspiration and to get ideas.” Marshall Smith, general manager of Oak Harbor’s Best Western Plus and organizer of the bridal show, said more than 250 invitations were sent out to brides. Some came from brides met in person and those whose names were on bridal lists at other shows. The Whidbey Wedding

Vendors on hand will include photographers, wine companies, florists, caterers, DJs and others. “It’s an opportunity to showcase our work,” said Heather Rice, owner of Indulge Salon in Oak Harbor. Attendees will be able to leave with quotes, samples and door prizes and participate in tastings from caterers. McCall said she’s attended the Oak Harbor show before and considers it unique. A representative from her company will be there again Saturday. “I felt like their show was a little more intimate and not so trade-showy,” McCall said. “It’s a little more personal. It has a different vibe to it, maybe a little more feminine. It’s a really nice show. The brides who come to that show really have a lot of fun.” Best Western Plus is located at 33175 Highway 20.

TOP 50 CONTINUED FROM A1 culinary arts programs. “It also is a nod to the school district for continuing to support the program and the CTE programs. It’s kudos to the community for standing behind us and allowing us to have this program. “Oak Harbor has a phenomenal CTE program, and it’s supported by the school and it’s supported by the community, and that doesn’t happen in a lot of other schools.” The hospitality program offers advanced classes in culinary arts and baking and pastry, as well as introductory classes for them. “All in all,” Arthur said, there are 42 advanced students this year and 108 introductory students. “Even in intro classes, for the students who aren’t going to go on and do this as a profession, they’re all going to have to cook for themselves at some point, and everything we do, we do from scratch,” Arthur said as she talked about the the importance of these programs. “Beyond that, as a CTE class, it gives them a skill that they can go out and get a job, whether they’re pursuing it as a career or whether they’re using it (to put) themselves through

college.” Hildahl said that Oak Harbor High School “stands out” when colleges look for high schools with strong hospitality programs. “They really are elite,” Hildahl said. “The success that they’ve had is demonstrated year after year after year.” Arthur said this ranking from Sullivan University is recognition of all the hard work that has been put into the program, not just for the 2014-15 school year, but for a decade or more. “We’re thrilled and honored to have been recognized and selected,” Arthur said. “It’s through the community support and the support of the administration that we’re able to actually have this program and take it to the level that we have.” n The ProStart competitive culinary team will be having a fundraiser 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22. Anyone interested in tasting their food and helping them earn money for competitions can email Chef Mary Arthur at marthur@ ohsd.net for tickets and information.

HUNT CONTINUED FROM A1 the chamber,” Cribb said. “I don’t like to admit I can’t do everything, but the reality is that I can’t.” “Normal procedure” when the president steps down is for the vice president to assume the role, Cribb said. Christine Abbott, the vice president, declined. Hunt was nominated, and the board unanimously approved his return to the position. After undergoing brain stimulation surger y in November to help combat Parkinson’s Disease, Hunt said his health has improved. “I’ve still got Parkinson’s; I’m still on medication and things will continue to progress in that way,” Hunt said. “But it set the clock back maybe five years, so I’m in the position now where I think I’ll be able to handle the presidency, where I wasn’t a year ago.”

Cribb was president of the board for almost a year and said she spent “eight hours a week in schools, if not more,” but just can’t devote as much time to the schools anymore. “It was a fabulous year,” Cribb said. “When you’re president, you represent the entire board. We’ve done great things. We make really great decisions, and working sideby-side with Dr. (Lance) Gibbon has been phenomenal, and representing the board … has been a true privilege.” Cribb is remaining on the school board. “She’s really great,” Hunt said. “I wish she’d continued on, but things kind of worked out this way, so I get to finish my term, and she finished a full term, too. “I have absolutely no complaints, and I have nothing but congratulations.”

Crew members with the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord rest for a few minutes last week between underwater training exercises that are aimed to help them exit a sinking helicopter.

TRAINING CONTINUED FROM A1 Trainer or MSWET, that simulates an aircraft. Each trainee, wearing full gear, is strapped in, and the apparatus is rotated to submerge the entire seat. Trainees must then use their tank, unstrap, open a nearby window and escape under water. This is also done three times. For the last run of each exercise, the trainee is required to do it completely blind, wearing blackout eyewear. The first two stages are in preparation for the main event, a “dunker,” that simulates the cab of a helicopter. Six crew members are strapped into the cab, which is submerged

and then rotated upside down, similar to how a helicopter behaves when in water. Crew members must work together to exit the aircraft. Each time, crew members switch seats to play a different role in the escape, according to Capt. Jesse Paulsboe, with the visiting 16th Combat Aviation Brigade. Again, the final exercise is done with blackout eyewear. While the training can be nervewracking to some, each trainee must pass a preliminary swim test and “have to have demonstrated a basic level” of water skills, Paulsboe said. “Things change in a stressful environment,” Paulsboe said. Paulsboe said the Army has been doing the training for years, but last week’s training was the first time the 16th has come to Whidbey Island.

The training is part of their annual plan intended to expand the brigade’s ability to land as well as maneuver in and around water, Paulsboe said. The brigade ended an eightmonth deployment in Afghanistan in December. The change in training schedule marks a shift in Army resources to the Pacific Rim and expands the Army’s traditional focus on over-land missions. Trainers at Whidbey Island try to make the experience as realistic as possible using real gear, Cooper said. “Any time you have an incident or mishap, you want the crew to be familiar with the gear,” he said. “Stats show that this type of training helps. “We provide the training to anyone that needs it.”

IN OUR OPINION

WAIF a worthy recipient of your contributions Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation is well on its way to having a new shelter for the island’s homeless pet population. It’s taken years of fundraising and a lot of community support to reach to this point. While things are moving along quickly, more support is needed to finish the job. With the help of businesses and residents, WAIF is about a half-million dollars from reaching its capital fund goal, and fund-raisers for the nonprofit organization say they hope to hit that goal by summer’s end. WAIF recently received a $25,000 grant from one local business, and Payless Foods in Freeland is currently running a campaign with a promise to match donations up to a total of $50,000. The Payless Foods campaign continues through April 15. The new shelter is a much-needed addition for the organization, which is replacing its small, outdated Coupeville shelter that was never intended to serve as a permanent facility. The new shelter will almost triple the available space for cats, accommodating as many as 150 felines and will have enough kennels to hold 48 dogs. The new facility will also include six acres for walking shelter dogs and provide them with a place to play. Founded in 1990, the nonprofit organization operates several animal facilities and two thrift stores on Whidbey Island. The minimal-kill facility aids in the welfare and adoption of hundreds of homeless animals each year. No animals are euthanized because of space considerations. While WAIF is actively working to hit their established goal for the capital facilities, the agency still needs assistance with daily operations. Thrift stores in Oak Harbor and Freeland help in supporting operations. You can help this worthwhile organization by donating items as well as patronizing the WAIF stores. If you want to help, but don’t have the money, think about donating items during spring cleaning this year. Every contribution helps. Whidbey Island is fortunate to have an organization like WAIF serving such an important need in the community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Concrete blocks

There’s no appeasing the ‘unappeasable’ Editor, I begin by stating this patriotic missive is solely in the concern of public safety –- with great reluctance and reflection with a sense of responsibility to those local voices working to coexist with Outlying Field Coupeville. That said, I disagree with Maryon Attwood’s fumigation about an “adverse impact” from the OLF Coupeville concrete blocks. To me, the genuine adverse impacts would be a military family bereaved because an EA-18G crashed or a violent incident at a public meeting; therefore, the safety blocks should stay without a public meeting. Those OLF safety blocks exist to keep automobiles off of OLF and, in the event of unforeseen tragedy, a skidding EA-18G from crashing into vehicles and tourists. Furthermore a former Town of Coupeville mayor requested, in writing, for such safety blocks. For Maryon Attwood to demand a public meeting on this after claiming OLF is unsafe is an abuse of public

process. Why abuse? Quoting Kendall Campbell’s public record to the state Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation Director Dr. Allyson Brooks, “For your awareness, there is a heightened sensitivity to how the Navy engages in public meetings right now, particularly when topics relate to the OLF. “Over the past year we have lost out on the opportunity to engage the public in conversation on a wide range of topics because of unproductive and sometimes abusive behavior by some in the community.” I am not the most credible at pointing out specific “abusive behavior.” However, the security issue remains, and I genuinely worry for my Whidbey Island Naval Air Station friends and law enforcement who would staff such a community confrontation. I, therefore, inquire why should American taxpayers have to pay for professional security to discuss necessary safety blocks to ignobly appease the unappeasable? Finally, if the concern is genuinely for tourist economics, perhaps it’s time to market OLF Coupeville as an aviation tourist destination? After all, I believe the NAS Whidbey personnel that OLF supporters strive to honor would appreciate a helping hand extended by OLF Coupeville sup-

porters to Central Whidbey’s tourist economy. Joe Kunzler Sedro Woolley

New CEO

Taxpayer outraged by hospital’s secrecy Editor, I really appreciated the editorial, “New hospital CEO must back promises with action.” I, too, had recognized the irony of the new CEO promising a commitment to transparency on one hand while Anne Tarrent — the hospital board’s president — scolded the reporter for asking about the details of (apparent new CEO) Geri Forbes’ hiring and contract. What an outrage. The taxpayers aren’t entitled to details about a taxpayer-supported institution? What? Really? The hospital gets a pretty hefty chunk of my property tax payment, but they do not want me to know how that money is spent? There’s a saying that seems to fit this attitude perfectly, and that is, “Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing.” Congrats to the reporter who keeps asking the tough questions.

LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS

Petition calls for special election on incorporation Here’s what was happening in the news:

100 years ago:

n Notice was given that a petition asking for the calling of a special election to vote on the proposition of incorporating the town of Oak Harbor would be filed with the Board of County Commissioners March 1. The petition included a description of the territory that citizens wanted incorporated as the town of Oak Harbor. The petition ended with: “The said described territory contains approximately 308 inhabitants.” n The following excerpts from the state automobile law were published by request of the proper authorities: Every automobile or motor vehicle … shall have fixed upon some conspicuous part thereof at least one lighted lamp, showing white to the front and red to the rear. No person, driver or operator in charge of any automobile or motor vehicle … shall drive at a rate of speed faster than 12 miles per hour … within the thickly settled or business portion of any city or village within this state, nor outside of such thickly settled or business portion of any city or village … at a rate of speed faster than 24 miles per hour.

75 years ago:

n Lee Dawson of Oak Harbor was run over and killed on the Seattle-Everett highway. Around 11 p.m., Dawson called a friend, Mr. Cleveland, to come pick him up from Alderwood, just north of Seattle, because he had had a pretty bad accident with his truck. Dawson arranged that Cleveland would drive out right away and pick him up. He said he would meet Cleveland at the truck. His condition was entirely normal and he didn’t appear at all dazed as he spoke, Cleveland said. When Cleveland got there around 1 a.m., Dawson wasn’t around. A state patrolman then stopped by and told Cleveland that Dawson had been killed about a mile from there. The only logical conclusion arrived at by Cleveland and Dawson’s grandmother was that Dawson was walking back to his truck to meet Cleveland when he was struck by a car and killed.

50 years ago:

n The Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce unanimously agreed to support the Coupeville Lions in their quest of bringing two 10-inch cannons back from the Philippines to their former location at Fort Casey. n A clever burglar alarm system was the undoing of a couple of young Everett youths who had the idea of stealing a Ford pickup and going to Whidbey to pick up some antique furniture for resale. They attempted to enter the home of Leon Bocker, which was unoccupied but hooked up with a burglar alarm device that set off a siren. Officer Ed Short, Coupeville chief of police, was alerted immediately by the sound of the siren and apprehended the youths.

25 years ago:

n Southern California crews filmed several dramatic jumps off Deception Pass Bridge for a Reebok athletic shoe commercial. The intent was that the jumpers, attached only by an elastic leash, or “bungee,” to their ankles, would attract the television viewer. n The Coupeville Town Council decided to sell the old Island County Historical Society Museum building. The new museum, at the corner Coveland and Front streets, was nearing completion. n Looking Back is compiled from the Whidbey NewsTimes’ archives as the newspaper celebrates 125 years in business and the City of Oak Harbor its 100th anniversary of incorporation.

In recognition of the retirement of the venerable EA-6B Prowler, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is holding an open house The base will also host an EA-6B Prowler Sundown event to highlight the naval history of this iconic aircraft. The open house is set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at Ault Field. The Navy is retiring the 44-year-old Prowler and replacing the long-range, all-weather electronic attack platform with the EA-18G Growler. NAS Whidbey is the Navy’s home base for its electronic attack squadrons, including a forward deployed Growler squadron in Japan. As with the Growler, all Prowler squadrons — with exception of four Marine Corps EA-6B

squadrons — were based and trained at NAS Whidbey. The public open house is an opportunity to learn about past, current and future operations at the Navy’s only air station in the Pacific Northwest and to see static displays of all its assigned aircraft. Aircraft on display will include the EA-18G Growler, EA-6B Prowler, P-3C Orion, MH-60 Knighthawk helicopter, the new C-40 Clipper and a visiting P-8A Poseidon, which will soon replace the P-3Cs at NAS Whidbey. There will also be other visual displays, guided bus tours, a search-and-rescue and K-9 Working Dog demonstrations, bouncy toys for children and a climbing wall.

NAS Whidbey personnel honored for Oso response As part of Washington state’s annual Navy Day celebration, Gov. Jay Inslee recognized seven Whidbey Island Naval Air Station personnel on Feb. 11 for their actions rescuing seven people from the Oso mudslide last year. Inslee said it was an honor to recognize and pay respects to men he called heroes for their actions that day. NAS Whidbey’s Search and Rescue was among the first rescue units on scene following the devastating March 2014 mudslide. At one point during the rescue operations, the helicopter returned to the air station and picked up base firefighters from Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services Battalion No. 3. Former Naval Aircrewman 2nd Class David Scott, one of the people recognized during Navy Day, was the crew chief on the base’s helicopter that day. It was an experience he called “bit-

Inslee was joined by Rear Adm. Jeffrey Ruth, Commander, Navy Region Northwest, during the ceremony in the State Capital Rotunda where the following personnel were recognized: n Lt. Cmdr. David D.

The base also has an agreement to assist Washington State with medical evacuations and search and rescue activities.

’Cats grab state berths in wrestling, swimming and the 200 medley relay team (Gorman, Geist, Jensen and Jose Cabigting).

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The Oak Harbor High School wrestling team collected six state berths and the swim team one, but the Coupeville High School basketball teams struggled in district tournament play last weekend. The Wildcat boys snagged five top-four finishes at Marysville-Pilchuck High School and the girls one at Bellingham High School in their respective Region I wrestling tournaments Saturday, Feb. 14. The Oak Harbor swim team recorded a strong time in the 200-yard freestyle relay at the district meet Saturday at the Snohomish Aquatic Center to nab a state spot. Both the wrestling and swim state tournaments are Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20 and 21. The wrestling meet is at the Tacoma Dome; swimming takes place in Federal Way at the King County Aquatic Center. In District 3 1A basketball action, the Coupeville boys lost to Cascade Christian 59-36 in Puyallup Saturday and were eliminated from the postseason. The Coupeville girls fell 50-33 to Bellevue Christian Monday, Feb. 16, at Sumner High School and dropped into the consolation bracket.

NWLL holds evaluations North Whidbey Little League will hold evaluations for all baseball players ages 9-12 on Saturday, Feb. 21, at Windjammer Park (Field A) and for all softball players ages 9-16 on Sunday, Feb. 22, at Volunteer Park.

Oak Harbor’s Christian Bertram, top, works for a 6-0 win over Arlington’s Christian Evanger in the second round of the regional tournament. Bertram went on to win the 120-pound class. Coupeville must win two straight to advance to the regional. First, the Wolves return to Sumner to face Seattle Christian at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18. A win will put Coupeville in a winner-to-regional, loser-out game at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb 21, at Tacoma’s Foss High School.

Wrestling Christian Bertram led the Oak Harbor boys by winning the title in the 120-pound

class. The first four finishers in each weight earned state berths. Jeremy Vester (138) and Jackson Constant (285) finished second, Mark Johnston (145) placed third and Tyler Adamson (285) fourth. Amber Cramsey-Behnke (235) finished fourth for the girls. Cramsey-Behnke was third and Vester fourth at state in 2014. This will be Johnston’s fourth state berth and the third for Constant and

Bertram.

Swimming The top three in each race automatically advanced to state. The 200 free relay team of Micah Geist, Eric Jensen, Derek Volk and Joe Gorman placed fifth but posted one of the state’s best times (1:38.56) and received a wildcard slot into the state meet. Oak Harbor had several near misses, placing fourth in three races: Gorman, 200 free; Geist, 100 backstroke;

For the Coupeville High School boys basketball team, its loss to Cascade Christian was the end of the season. The game, however, marked a beginning as well. The Wolves, winners of only three games in the three seasons heading into this one, finished with seven wins and its first district berth in four years. The program is heading in a “positive direction,” coach Anthony Smith said. “I like where it is going,” he added. “Our JV team did well, too. It’s a positive step in the right direction.” Cascade Christian used a hot-shooting night to get by the Wolves. “We’d have a hand in their face and they would still drain them,” Smith said. The Cougars led 18-8, 35-23 and 53-26 at the quarter breaks. A three-point third period by the Wolves allowed the Cougars to pull away. Wiley Hesselgrave finished the season with another strong game, tallying 20

points and grabbing four rebounds. Joel Walstad scored six points, Aaron Trumbull four, C.J. Smith two, Ryan Griggs two and Hunter Smith two.

Girls Basketball Bellevue Christian used a physical defense and a steady offense to stop the Coupeville girls. “Bellevue Christian came to play and had a good game plan,” Coupeville coach David King said. “They ran their offense with precision (and) played a physical defense on us all night that disrupted our offense.” Bellevue Christian zipped to quarter leads of 14-5, 24-9 and 40-19. Makana Stone led Coupeville with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Kailey Kellner scored five points, Maddi Strasburg four, Julia Myers three, Kacie Kiel two, Mia Littlejohn two and Hailey Hammer two. Hammer, who had a strong defensive game, according to King, grabbed four rebounds and recorded two blocks. “All is not lost; we still have some fight and will look to bounce back against Seattle Christian,” King said.

Serving up Southern comfort food Navy veteran and her husband love what they do with their own mobile catering business By RON NEWBERRY Whidbey News-Times

There’s something about a smoky scent that appeals to Barbara Bennett’s senses and soul. Working in the barbecue business, Bennett finds the smell inescapable, sticking to her clothes, hands and hair. But to Bennett, the scent is a sweet reminder of her family’s livelihood, looks of customer satisfaction and her roots growing up in the country of a small town in Florida. “There’s something comforting about it,” she said. Bennett spent 12 years as a mess-management specialist in the U.S. Navy and went to college along with her husband, Fred, to earn two-year culinary arts degrees. Even though they’re both classically trained, the couple has built a mobile catering business in Oak Harbor centered on the Southernstyle foods that were a rich part of their upbringing. Barbara and Fred Bennett are entering their 10th year as owners of ShoNuff Foods, which has served Whidbey Island at farmers markets, festivals, weddings and other catered events since 2006. “From day one, there was just no doubt,” Fred said of the focus on what he calls “authentic Southern goodness.” “Because our passion is soul food, we would rather take the soul food, the barbecue and such, and really — for a lack of a better term — what we say in the South, ‘put our foot up in it’ to make sure you remember it.” The journey has been a long one and at times a test of wills and patience. A food business was the couple’s dream and was the most attractive option to earn a living after Barbara left the Navy in 2006. “As a cook, especially here in the Northwest, unless you get a dream job, not too many people pay you what you’re supposed to be paid, no matter the education,” Fred said. “I got sick and tired of $10 an hour.” Still, it’s only been in recent months that Fred hasn’t had to hold down a second job, some-

Fred and Barbara Bennett, who grew up in the same small town in Florida and have been married for 17 years, tease each other at a space they rent for their ShoNuff Foods business. The Bennetts are celebrating their 10th year in business with ShoNuff Foods, an Oak Harbor-based mobile catering company. They came to Oak Harbor when Barbara Bennett was stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. times even a third, to help provide for the family, which includes two kids, during the slow times of the year. “This is one of the first years where we’ve been gainfully employed in the beginning of the year,” Barbara said. “Believe it or not, the catering has not been barbecue.” ShoNuff Foods is at its busiest during the spring and summer months, peaking in August when the community’s demand for barbecue such as beef brisket, pulled pork sandwiches and ribs is at its highest. Things typically slow down from October through April, causing the business to shift into catering mode, serving to private homes, office parties, weddings and other events. The menu changes dramatically during that time, too, as the Bennetts use their culinary training and past restaurant experience to cook up a variety of dishes. During a stretch last month, they prepared for clients root beer–glazed chicken and braised beef tri-tip to go along with mashed potatoes, gravy and glazed carrots. “We haven’t done barbecue the last few months,” Barbara said. The business operates out of a

tall storage building on Oak Street, not far from Goldie Road, near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. In the summer months, a barbecue pit is rolled outside and Fred lights up oak and mesquite wood to bring out the smoky aroma to draw in the lunch clientele. “We tend to go overboard for the military,” Fred said. “That’s something near and dear to both of us with her being a veteran. I come from a military family.” The process has been one of careful “baby steps,” Barbara said, with an inventory that now includes an 18-foot-long barbecue pit nicknamed the “torpedo” and a mobile kitchen inside a shiny red trailer. The operation started out just selling baked goods, a passion Barbara picked up from her grandmother, then moved onto barbecue cuisine, debuting with a 4-foot smoker at the Kingston Farmers Market in April of 2005. “This is definitely something that you can’t just wake up one day and say you want to do it,” Barbara said. “If you don’t really enjoy it, you can burn out real easily. You’re either designed for it or you’re not.” The Bennett family works

together as a team, including the children, Deandre, 14, and Tamara, 12. Fred and Barbara have been married for 17 years and both grew up in Brooksville, Fla., before the Navy brought them to Oak Harbor. “I can praise God,” Fred said. “We mostly have good days as far as between me and her without arguing or fighting. “For us, having our faith, having our family, that’s the thing that makes it worth it for me personally. I can’t imagine working with anybody else. For as much as I get on her nerves, and for as much as she gets on my nerves, to roll over and always see her, for me personally, it makes it worthwhile. I’m just as happy as can be.” Warmer temperatures and sunshine also tend to bring a smile to Fred’s face. The festival season gets going with a traditional appearance at Holland Happening in late April. Weekly showings at the Oak Harbor Farmers Market start in May. “It has been a privilege to work with and watch this business grow over the last five years,” said Peg Tennant, manager of the Oak Harbor and Coupeville farmers

markets. “Farmers markets are often business incubators — a place to solidify experience, hone skills and refine operations. And when the owners of the business are personable, flexible and have a great sense of humor, it’s a win-win all the way around. “The whole Bennett family continues to be a gift to our local markets and community.” And Barbara and Fred Bennett, who are both in their late-30s, don’t plan to go anywhere any time soon. They want to continue to improve their business and continue to get the word out to the community. “We’ve both had friends who started businesses and you see them lose the business,” Fred said. “That’s something we just don’t want to experience. “A lot of people don’t know we’ve been around for so long. We’ve been here a solid decade. “We’re here to stay. At the same time, we’re very cautious with the moves and steps that we take.” n To learn more about ShoNuff Foods, go to the website at www. shonufffoods.com
