Adam Fawcett leads an early beginning-of-the-day exercise routine at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders in Freeland. The program is mandatory and cut injuries by half.

Nichols workers stretch to better health 10-minute exercise routine cuts injuries in half

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record The crew at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders are tough, grizzled, even burly. With calloused hands and scuffed-up hard hats, these no-nonsense Americans know what it means to show up day after day, work hard and get the

job done. They’re the quintessential shipyard workers, which makes picturing their 10-minute morning exercise routine a bit hard to image. In dirty overalls and leather welding jackets, these rough-and-tumble men and women will be found with hands on their hips and dipping one knee, and

then the other; throwing their hands above their heads and then swinging them back down behind them; reaching forward with one arm while stretching the opposite leg back. Those are just a few of the moves in Adam Fawcett’s SEE NICHOLS, A13

Undersea gardeners take note: Parks to offer oyster farming class By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Kevin Lungren, a Freeland private oyster farmer, holds up his harvest.

Kevin Lungren considers himself similar to Ciscoe Morris or any other gardener, only his garden is underwater most of the time. He and many others are part of a growing group of people

on Whidbey Island and around Western Washington taking up oyster cultivation, commonly called oyster gardening. Kurt Johnson, a biologist who specializes in shellfish, will lead a three-day oyster gardening class through the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District in

May. Already eight spots have been taken in the 15-student crash course in bivalve cultivation. It involves a lot less maintenance than growing green beans and tomatoes. But it also SEE OYSTER, A20

Emily Harris, a student at Haller Middle School in Arlington, spent a week as a page for the Washington State Senate in Olympia, according to a recent news release. Harris was one of 14 students chosen to serve as pages for the ninth week of the 2015 legislative session. Harris was sponsored by 10th Legislative District Sen. Barbara Bailey.

sages and spend time in the senate chamber. They also attend page school where they learn about parliamentary procedure and the legislative process, according to the release. Students also hold a mock legislative session. “It was a pleasure to have Emily work with me in Olympia,” said Bailey, in the release. “She is an inspiration for other young girls to get involved in public service. I hope that she found the time here in the Capitol valuable.” Harris said that she enjoyed learning about the checks and balances of state government, and witnessing all of the action.

South End schools City planners make superintendent resigns Langley eaves drop Editor: Ace Comstock

Editor: Jim Larsen

South Whidbey School District board of directors received letters of resignation from high school principal George Young and superintendent Bill Davis. In the course of the discussions which preceded Young’s resignation, Davis became so irritated as to announce his own departure. The furor broke into the open Monday night at the conclusion of the second executive session held by the board to discuss the superintendent’s recommendation that Young be replaced. Davis declared in his letter that, “When the school board feels it necessary to discuss possible personnel changes in executive session, without the superintendent being present, then it is time for the superintendent to move on.” Davis contended that the board and superintendent must work together on personnel problems, and that there cannot be two superintendents. “When a member of the school staff becomes responsible to the school board, rather than to the superintendent, then it is an intolerable situation,” said Davis.

A divided Langley planning advisory board turned down a request from Linda Morris for a reduction in side yard setbacks, forcing her to cut away the eaves of her new house. Morris is building a new home on Mountain View Avenue and had already placed the eaves. She asked for side setbacks of 3 and one-half feet instead of the 5 feet required by the zoning code. Jack Lynch, city planning advisor, said that Morris’ plans were prepared pursuant to Uniform Building Code requirements, but not Langley zoning code requirements. Morris said the narrowness of the lot would require her to scrap her design if she is required to reduce the width. Morris and Tom Hladky, city services, apparently had a miscommunication regarding a building permit for the construction. Morris told planning board members she had paid a fee and begun construction, thinking that was her building permit. Lynch contends that no building permit was issued. Morris’ neighbor, Margaret Kish, offered to give Morris an easement to meet the setback requirements, but Morris said that would not help. Since the setback must be five feet from property lines, she would have to have a conveyance of property. Morris told the board she would be willing to saw off the eaves of the house that invaded the setback requirements.

Land Trust eyes Monroe Landing for preservation By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The scenic acreage that surrounds Monroe Landing has been a home and refuge to many. Initially one of three Salish villages located on the shores of Penn Cove, the beach made a perfect canoe landing area and temporary encampments cropped up around the cove. Rich in water, prairie and forest habitats, the area was also ideal for fishing, hunting and farming for early settlers. It is this history of farming and aquaculture that the Whidbey Camano Land Trust is attempting to secure by purchasing more than 300 acres of development rights around Monroe Landing. People want to see the area preserved for many different reasons, said Pat Powell, executive director of the Land Trust. “The property means different things to different people,” Powell said. These tend to include wanting to conserve historical farms within Ebey’s Reserve, keeping the land open, ensuring the area around the airport remains undeveloped, maintaining scenic elements and protecting wildlife habitats. The proposed conservation includes the VanderVoet Farm, “a beloved and iconic landscape on Whidbey Island” that is the “scenic

Powell said that while the funding they’ve secured is mainly for conservation efforts — such as for farmland, wildlife and aquifer protection — it can have ancillary benefits as well. Commissioner Rick Hannold, who campaigned on pushing economic development for the county, said conserving the farmlands at

Monroe Landing would provide the buffer for the unused nearby airport. Hannold said the owner hopes to get the airport functioning again, and keeping new development from surrounding it will prevent future “heartburn” about the

noise. “What you’re doing is saying we can save the rural character but it’s a reality that life there has to be jobs for people,” Hannold said. “It’s thinking forward.” Last week, Island County commissioners

agreed at work session to pay out $610,000 from the Conservation Futures Fund to the Land Trust to acquire conservation easements on 267 acres of farmland and 52 acres of forest habitat. A final vote on the funding will be held at a future Tuesday meeting. This money was originally awarded in November. The project protects the 319 acres while keeping it as productive working farms, according to county documents. The purchase of these easements would connect two isolated county-owned properties and provide a trail easement for the future. The Conservation Futures Fund money is being leveraged with up to $850,000 from the National Resources Conservation Service, up to $560,000 from the state Recreation Conservation Office and up to $300,000 from the U.S. Navy. While the process has been moving forward slowly over the last couple of years, there are still more steps to be taken. Powell said the property

owners in question are interested in selling, but an agreement has to be made. “Before we can move forward to protect these properties, we will make a fair market value offer to the owners, based on appraisals, which are, right now, being independently reviewed and approved,” Powell said. “At that point, it is up to the owners to decide to accept the offer or not. This is all about private property rights and willing landowners. It is critical that the proposal works for the private landowners.” Your Real Estate Consultant

GO SHOPPING! Ever notice how you feel good browsing through a full-service department store? Mannequins are impeccably dressed with the layered look. Belt buckles are polished brass and pants are a perfect, tailored fit. Colors are coordinated, and everyone in the “group” has a smile as they sit motionless in a casual setting. The price is usually full retail. Selling a home parallels that department store situation. You can take the discount store approach, offering your home “as-is” at below market prices, or you can merchandise it properly and attract a full retail purchaser. Merchandising begins with a walk-through of your home to uncover needed repairs and other improvements. Your agent, playing the role of the interested buyer, makes a list of items in need of attention, then asks you to complete them before showing the home to prospects. Merchandising involves more than repairs, though. It sets the stage for buyers, making them feel at home. From fresh flowers to the dining table set for a king’s banquet, every room in the house is “staged” for maximum buyer appeal. Your agent will explain details such as proper lighting, furniture arrangement, and the absence of pets. Complete information about the home should be displayed, along with a property profile buyers can take with them. Why not merchandise your home when you sell? It can bring ready buyers, eager to pay for the image you create.

PARKS Dad, daughter ball was a hit The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s Dad and Daughter Ball attracted a record number of partici-

pants this year, prompting talks of potentially relocating the dance to a larger space in 2016. The ball has become a popular event for young women and their guardians. According to Carrie Monforte, program coordinator, 124 male guardians and 159 young women attended this year’s dance, which took place on March 7. The dance was held in the South Whidbey High School Commons. Monforte noted that the space was a bit crowded with the number of dads and daughters as well as tables and chairs. At a regular parks meeting March 18, Monforte discussed possible alternative spaces with the board, but no decision was made.

District agrees to work with others The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District has established a memorandum of understanding with the Port of South Whidbey, Island County and the City of Langley. Doug Coutts, parks director, informed district commissioners that

the document had been approved by all parties and the agreement is now in effect. Commissioners had reviewed a draft of the document at a board meeting in December, and had discussed it further at a second meeting in January. The memorandum of understanding is very general, and states that all groups will cooperate to provide mutual aid, largely a sharing of knowledge and resources. It may include moneysaving tactics such as group purchasing as well.

Board OKs simpler mission statement The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District board of directors voted to simplify the district’s mission statement at a regular business meeting Wednesday, March 18. Commissioner Matt Simms noted that the previous statement, which was several sentences long, couldn’t fit on a T-shirt.

statement was changed to, “parks, facilities and recreation programs for the citizens of South Whidbey Island.”

COUNTY State funds used for critical areas Island County commissioners approved an agreement with Environmental Sciences Associates last week to assist in the completion of the critical areas ordinance, as part of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update. To pay for the assistance, the county is using a Department of Commerce National Estuary Program grant not to exceed $250,000. As part of the Puget Sound Watershed Protection and Restoration program, the funding will allow county staff to review and revise wetland and critical areas protections into a single cohesive polity. ESA will be the lead consultant supported by sub-consultants Pacific Groundwater Group and the Stratum Group.

Waldorf student cultivates improved water quality By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Eighth-grader Connor McDanniel has crafted an end-of-year project to help mitigate the effects of storm water runoff in Maxwelton Creek. McDanniel is a student of the Whidbey Island Waldorf School, which is located at the headwaters of the creek. All eighth graders are required to develop an end-of-year project with the help of a mentor. McDanniel, who was interested in learning more about the environment and marine biology, thought that a rain garden would be a good way to decrease the impacts of brake dust and other runoff from the school’s parking lot and rooftop. Nat Scholz, a researcher for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) studying the impacts of storm water on juvenile and adult salmon, acted as McDanniel’s mentor and taught the student about water pollution. Rob Hallbauer, a natural resource planner for the Whidbey Island Conservation District, helped design and install the garden.

Hallbauer has also designed several rain gardens for the City of Coupeville, and noted in an email to The Record that he thought McDanniel to be a “very bright kid.” McDanniel said that his is one of the most common designs. Water is collected through a swale located by the playground which filters water from the parking lot and rooftop. The water then goes into the rain garden, which is separated into three zones featuring different types of plants. Zone three contains plants which require the least amount of water; zone two plants require about an average amount of water; and zone one contains plants which can be fully submerged for up to a day at a time. McDanniel noted that he isn’t sure he’ll have time to install more rain gardens in the near future, but the experience has inspired a rain garden business concept and a desire to learn more. He began conceptualizing the garden about three weeks ago after doing extensive research which began in October. The garden took about two to three weeks to design and two days to build.

Kate Daniel / The Record

Connor McDanniel, an eighth-grade student at Whidbey Island Waldorf School, created a rain garden to help mitigate the effects of storm water runoff from the school’s parking lot and rooftop. “Pretty much all of the runoff from the school will be clean because of this thing. And, it will teach little guys about rain gardens

because it is kind of an obscure thing,” said McDanniel. “It’s pretty important.”

Viewpoint

A brighter future is ahead for Island Transit By Island Transit board of directors Island Transit is pleased to report it is in the midst of executing a recovery plan after having survived serious financial challenges requiring significant reductions in bus service in July and September 2014. A new Interim Executive Director was hired to implement recovery planning for future financial stability, and a new Board of Directors was appointed. At its first meeting of 2015, Island Transit’s Board adopted a stabilization plan including the following key strategies: 1. Development of a financial stabilization plan. 2. Consideration of new funding sources. 3. Review of overlapping service with other transit districts. 4. Ongoing review of all routes and schedules. 5. Investigation of collaborative transportation solutions with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI), school districts, and other qualifying organizations. 6. Discussion with neighboring public transit districts for ways to improve operating efficiencies. Embracing these goals and strategies, the management team is aggressively monitoring, analyzing, and implementing policies and projects that will contribute to operating efficiencies and improved services. At the same time, budget levels are within approved parameters, and future service reductions must be avoided. Meanwhile, a number of new, constructive activities are underway in 2015 to set the foundation for a more promising future. Some of these efforts include: — A carefully balanced 2015 budget. — Continuation of the Service Enhancement Plan to reinstate and modify most transit services that were eliminated or reduced in 2014. — Continuation of efforts to identify new sources of additional revenue. — Development of an Asset Management Plan and accompanying Asset Replacement Plan. — Continue regional service coordination efforts with Skagit, Whatcom, and Snohomish Counties. As the year progresses, we will continue to plan for added weekday service, the return of discontinued service, and scheduled replacement of aging buses. Improvements and expansion in transit service will be slow in coming, but Island Transit is more encouraged and excited about its future than it was just a few short months ago. Thank you, Island County, for your continued support. Kenneth Graska Rick Almberg Jim Sundberg Jill Johnson Rick Hannold Jackie Henderson

Letters Response

Design doesn’t matter, addressing a need does Editor, It is frustrating to me to keep reading letters to the editor that suggest that people just need to “get fit” so they can go up and down Wharf Street on foot. They totally miss the fact that within our community there are many people who will never be able to become physically fit because they are elderly, they have medical conditions that compromise walking ability, they are injured or recovering from surgery, or they are in wheelchairs. They totally miss the fact that some visitors who come by boat may be relegated to sit on said boat instead of getting up the hill to explore Langley and other South Whidbey areas. Some kind of elevator, funicular, trolley on wheels or vans with wheelchair lifts will be both a commendable community service, as well as addressing the fact that the Wharf Street road access is too steep for many people. Parking doesn’t address the need, as there just isn’t

enough parking down there, and never can be. I agree with the recent letter writer who wrote, “we need to let go of the us versus them dialog.” I hope people come to the meeting with the spirit of listening, remaining friendly and open minded. I really don’t care what choice the City of Langley makes so long as the need for mobility for folks of all levels is addressed. LEANNE FINLAY Freeland

edly improved service to our patients in the emergency department, the operating suite and the hospital in general. She changed the culture from “We’ve always done it this way,” to a Florence Nightingale-based culture of compassionate and expert care of our very special community. She did this by first working alongside the staff in each department, assessing the problems, weeding out the dead wood, and introducing leaders and protocols that greatly improved each department. The work she does is not appreciated by everyone, of course. Those who are hostile to change, those who support cliques and discord, those who love the paycheck more than the patient and those with a political agenda have been obstacles to growth. In spite of this backlash, she has brought forth the change needed to better serve, care for and love our patients. She is a gift to our community; a true nurse who not only has compassion and love for the service, but who has gathered throughout her life the education, experience and courage to make the best leader for our hospital.

the ditch, barely avoiding a head-on collision with a van that had crossed the double yellow line to dodge ruts and potholes created 12 days ago by Whidbey’s County Road Department. Sills Road residents don’t understand why our road crews are “fixing” a road that doesn’t have holes or major cracks. Now as we wait for paving crews, we drive a dangerous obstacle course of rectangular cutouts and excavated pits of open asphalt. “Waiting” is the problem. Northwest rain creates mud in the trenches where vehicle tires dredge out ruts and large holes. If road patching is needed the crews should cut, prep and patch the same day like they do in Seattle and other communities. Island crews can do it in one day but they seldom do. Bigger potholes, those soaked and reamed out by traffic during the wait time, require more fill. Same-day patching would save time, the cost of material, and the expense of bringing in flaggers and heavy equipment twice. The present practice costs more, makes a mess of our vehicles, leaves an unsafe roadbed for cyclists and motorcycles, and creates dangerous conditions

for drivers. The same is true for chip sealing. Bayview and French roads were unfinished for weeks. Gravel was left for drivers to embed into the bitumen over time. Residents along chip-sealed roads have dust and grime in their homes. Drivers with respiratory concerns avoid these routes because dust billows in through their car vents. Vehicle wheel wells are coated with liquid asphalt. Undercarriages and lower portions of doors are pock-marked from kicked-up gravel. I checked with five transpor tation depar tments from Ohio to California. Unlike our county road department, they distribute a layer of hot asphalt (bitumen), spread crushed (not round) rock, and follow up the next day with heavy rollers to embed the rock, then sweep and collect it immediately.

Falcons fend off Tigers in first win

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record

SWHS boys soccer blasts Granite Falls By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Falcon sophomore Connor Antich sprints to first base after bunting against Granite Falls on March 27.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A five-run second inning with two outs gave South Whidbey enough to work with Friday in its first win of the season, 6-3 over Granite Falls. Securing the victory was hardly a given, despite leading much of the game. With one win in the books, Falcon head coach Tom Fallon breathed a little easier. “The first one is always the toughest one, to kind of get the monkey off the back, if you will,” he said. “This was the first game we didn’t face a dominant, overpowering pitcher,” he added. “I think the young guys felt more comfortable in their blocks. Everybody had a more comfortable swing today.” The Falcon baseball team rallied in the second inning, batting through the order and grabbing five runs. South Whidbey held onto the lead behind the arm of sophomore pitcher Will Simms, who threw six innings and allowed three runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out seven. South Whidbey capitalized on its chances, while Granite Falls stranded plenty of its players on base. In the first inning, the Tigers got their first four batters on the field. With the bases loaded and facing a towering hitter Greg Barnett, Simms got the Tiger to hit a grounder to Falcon third baseman Austin Sterba, who threw out the runner at home. Falcon senior catcher Brent Piehler forced out Barnett at first base for the double play. Ricky Muzzy, a Falcon junior, led off with a single through third base and the shortstop. Using his speed, Muzzy stole second and third base on consecu-

tive tries, then scored on a grounder by sophomore Connor Antich. Granite Falls regained the lead in the second inning after getting two runners on base due to an error and a single. The runners reached third and second base on a passed ball, and a sacrifice fly by Alex O’Neill scored Sammy Blacken. Simms got out of the inning with a groundout and a called strikeout. South Whidbey’s second inning set up to be a quick one. Piehler opened with a single through the infield into left field. Sterba took a four-pitch walk to put runners on first and second. Simms laid a sacrifice bunt to third base to move both runners into scoring position. But the second out came from designated hitter Trent Fallon, a senior who recently rejoined the team after missing some of the preseason with a knee injury, on a strikeout. “We were really picking it up and all getting excited, wanting to get up, hit and score a run,” Simms said. Two outs, so what? Falcon senior Campbell Albertsen knocked a two RBI grounder to third base and beat the throw. A passed ball moved Albertsen to second base, then he reached third base after getting caught in a pickle and reaching third on an overthrow. Muzzy walked to first base, and a balk by Barnett scored Albertsen and moved Muzzy along. Antich ripped a double to shallow center, scoring Muzzy from second base. Nobody covered second base as the blooper drew both the shortstop and second baseman into the outfield, leaving an open base for Antich to dive for head-first. Mo Hamsa took three called balls

from Barnett before Granite Falls head coach Doug Engstrom relieved him and brought in Alex O’Neill. Hamsa was walked to first, followed by another walk for junior Charlie Patterson to load the bases. Piehler, up for the second time in the inning, scored Antich after taking the third straight walk. Granite Falls got its final run in the third. Tiger senior Daniel Head ripped a double down the third baseline for a standup double. A sacrifice fly by Chris Gentry moved Head to third base. Barnett knocked a RBI single into shallow center field. The Tigers had a chance to cut the lead even further. A grounder by Tucker Zachry led to a force out at second base. Blacken was hit by a pitch, putting two runners on base. But they were stranded after a grounder by Griffin Chapman went past Sterba’s glove, but was grabbed by Muzzy covering from shortstop for the throw out at second base. Simms hit his stride in the fifth inning. After giving up a leadoff single to Gentry, he struck out three straight batters. His arm again got South Whidbey out of a jam in the sixth inning when he gave up a pair of walks and a single but countered with two strikeouts and a throwout by Piehler to second base. “I just found a rhythm and was having fun throwing with my catcher, letting my team play defense,” Simms said. “It was good that my defense was helping me out, keeping them stuck on the bases,” he added. Muzzy closed out the game in the seventh, striking out the first two batters he faced and getting the third to fly out to deep right field.

The shutouts continued for South Whidbey boys soccer after a 9-0 win over Granite Falls on Friday night. The Falcons scored nine goals for the second time this season and extended their winning streak to four games. South Whidbey has yet to allow a goal on defense, while racking up double digit shots on offense. Focusing on its outside-in attack, the Falcons found success playing the ball down the sidelines. Once Granite Falls adjusted, South Whidbey followed suit and found room in the middle of the field. “I tell the guys we can’t be one-dimensional,” said Falcon co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins. “We have to take advantage of what the defense gives us. But we have very strong outside mids, very good strikers, very good attacking mids, so we’re versatile.” Three Falcons scored two goals each. Falcon senior forward Kai da Rosa got both of his on assists from senior midfielder Andy Zisette. Lucas Fulton, a junior reserve forward, also scored two goals, including one on a cross by Juan Diego Marmolejo. Fulton, in his first season as a full varsity player, has made limited playing time count. On Friday, he played about 20 minutes, said Robbins, and scored a goal on a header. “That’s Lucas,” Robbins said. “He has this penchant for knowing where to be, plus he’s pretty good at heading the ball,” he added. “ South Whidbey’s scoring was opened on a goal by junior midfielder Lucas Leiberman on an assist from senior midfielder Jeff Meier. Leiberman scored later in the game on a da Rosa assist. Meier scored later on a penalty kick. Kameron Donohoe scored on an assist from Fulton. Sophomore Justin Gonzales scored on an assist by junior Jordan Henriot. After rolling through the first four matches, South Whidbey’s toughest test came this week. The Falcons visited the Archbishop Murphy Wildcats, a 2A state-title contender, on Tuesday after The Record went to press and will host King’s, a fellow 1A Cascade Conference school that also reached the 2014 state tournament, on Friday night. “I don’t fear them,” Robbins said, adding that he wasn’t aware of South Whidbey boys soccer ever defeating Archbishop Murphy. “We’re capable of beating them.” “Every team can be beat.”

Obstruction call ends softball game South Whidbey softball trailed most of the game, rallied late, tied and then lost in the seventh inning against Archbishop Murphy. The Falcons fell 6-5 in Everett on March 27 after the umpire called obstruction on senior Chloe Huffman in the top of the seventh, advancing the runner to home for the game-ending score. Falcon head coach Tim Collins said Kacie Hanson deflected a hit at third base and the ball rolled away. Huffman dove for the ball, which interfered with the runner moving from second to third. Falcon freshman Mackenzee Collins pitched seven innings and gave up only one earned run on three hits and six walks. She tallied six strikeouts. The Falcons committed three errors, however, which led to five unearned runs. South Whidbey was led by Hanson, who hit a double with a RBI. Sarah Merrow, a Falcon senior, also had a RBI. The Falcons trailed after the second inning. Their first run came in the fourth to cut the lead to 2-1, and got a boost in the sixth inning with three more scores. Another run in the top of the seventh inning tied the game.

Les Asplund, playing Jerry Hardwick, and Cheryl Lawrence, playing Jean Maitland, rehearse at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island on Monday. The show debuts April 10.

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Jerry Hardwick refuses to be put out to pasture. In Ken Merrell’s new musical comedy, “Pastureized,” Hardwick (played by Les Asplund) is a former Broadway producer who is forced into retirement following a heart attack, prompting him to relocate from New York to Whidbey Island. His son, Chad (Quynn Jackson Stirling), is adamant that his father lead a tranquil life, and suggests that he move into Hazel Brook, an assisted living facility. “I don’t want to live in your pre-casket, no matter how finely it’s decorated,” Hardwick responds. Instead, the determinedly

active Hardwick purchases an old church, converting it into a community theater where romance and comedy ensue. The show is the final installment of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island’s 2014-15 Music Series. An original piece written and directed by Merrell with music composed by Eileen Soskin, the show will premiere at 7:30 p.m. April 10 and will continue with 7:30 p.m. showings April 11, 17 and 18 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island in Freeland. “The play is about people that, for one reason or another, think their lives are over and that turns out not to be true,” said Merrell.

Soskin, who comes from an extensive classical music background, said working on the musical is a dream she didn’t know she had. Though it is her first time composing music for a theatrical production, Soskin said she has not encountered any challenges, and has enjoyed each step of the process thanks largely to the cast. “Music is music. It conveys our life experiences,” said Soskin. The show contains a medley of heartfelt and comedic songs, several of which deal with subjects such as family relations and the unique struggles associated with different life stages. “The songs could stand alongside anything on Broadway,” said Asplund.

He added that the writing is “very smart and witty.” Merrell started conceptualizing the show about a year ago, and began writing the script in October. The script, he said, is largely influenced by the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, iconic dance partners who worked together on 10 films between 1933 and 1949 including “Follow the Fleet” and “Swing Time.” Ginny McMath, a local music teacher played by Gretchen d’Armand, lends her assistance while Chad attempts to sabotage his father’s efforts in order to “save his dad from himself.” Chad changes his tune upon meeting McMath’s daughter, Kat (Callen Barrett). Romance and

Greg Ruby and the Rhythm Runners bring Prohibition-era jazz to WICA Greg Ruby and the Rhythm Runners will be playing a CD release concert featuring tunes evocative of the Prohibition jazz era at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16 at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts.

Annual peace vigil to wrap interfaith service

Whidbey General Hospital celebrates 45th anniversary, ‘Neighbors caring’

The annual South Whidbey ecumenical Good Friday Vigil will begin this year with a one hour traditional service of readings and reflections on the biblical Good Friday narrative. The service is from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, April 3, at Trinity Lutheran Church. A public interfaith silent peace vigil at the corner of Highway 525 and Fish Road will follow. “In this commemoration of the Christian tradition that remembers the violent death suffered by Jesus and recognizes the suffering in this world of those victimized by violence, even as it prepares for its Easter proclamation of hope and renewal, we stand in silent prayer as we remember all the global victims of economic, racial, ethnic and gender violence, and most particularly, for those affected by wars,” said Tom Ewell, a Quaker and one of the organizers of the peace vigil. The Peace Vigil is sponsored by members of the South Whidbey clergy and includes a special invitation to those of all faiths to participate.

Whidbey General Hospital is 45 years old. Staff gathered in front of the entrance March 25 to take a group photo commemorating “45 years of Neighbors Caring for Neighbors.” “As we celebrate our 45th anniversary, I am grateful to the visionaries who were determined to build a hospital on Whidbey Island so many decades ago,” said Anne Tarrant, the hospital’s board president. “From a small country hospital in 1970, we have grown into an extensive healthcare network that includes seven clinics, a nationally recognized award-winning cancer program, specialized services such as hospice care and soon, a state-of-the-art inpatient wing.” Tarrant said the hospital could not have been successful without the support of the island’s residents. “I am also thankful to our community, whose support has always been essential to our growth and success,” Tarrant said. “I look forward to our future with great anticipation.”

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record

WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM

Fawcett ing move is a Chi Gong exercise that I learned years ago in India,” he said. “It’s called the Masters Exercise, but I didn’t tell most of the yard guys that until I had been working with them for over a year.” “The exercise I gave them to keep their shoulder rotator muscles strong and juicy, comes from Prasara Yoga.” All the exercises were specifically selected to combat common shipyard injuries, such as neck and back pain, shoulder, hip and knee problems. To that

Jim Stach (far right) and other Nichols Brothers workers do their morning exercise routine.

NICHOLS CONTINUED FROM A1

“Morning 10” exercise rou-

tine, a custom begin-the-day workout the South Whidbey personal trainer tailored just for yard workers. It focuses on strengthening and training good move-

ment, rather than simple stretching, though Fawcett admits there’s a dash of “ancient Eastern movement arts” sprinkled in. “For example, the open-

effect, it’s been more than successful, said Jonathon Hettlinger, human resources and training director for Nichols Brothers. “We’ve seen strains and sprains basically cut in half,” Hettlinger said. “It’s been a very good partnership,” he added. It fit well with other goodhealth initiatives adopted by management, such as the recent ban of smoking on company property and serving fruit three days a week, Hettlinger said. Fawcett, owner of Vibrant Fitness, approached the yard more than a year ago after hearing the company was interested in improving workforce health. It took a bit of convincing, and a trial run where participation was voluntary, but eventually the benefits became clear and the program mandatory for all yard workers. Jim Stach, a fitter and

welder, said the program’s introduction was met with some hesitation; employees weren’t so sure about exercising in front of their friends. But eventually, minds began to change. “It actually helped out a lot,” Stach said. “It does help.” “And it’s a good way to start your day,” he added. Fawcett said morning exercises like the one at Nichols Brothers are something anyone can do and benefit from. Sitting is the new smoking, he says, and the country’s workforce is filled with sitters. He’s hoping to change that, one routine at a time. “I want to change the way America moves, I want to change the way America ages,” he said.

OYSTER CONTINUED FROM A1

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Kevin Lungren holds an oyster bag at his house on Holmes Harbor

requires someone to own beach property for oyster growth, and not just any beach will do. Johnson said a good beach needs a firm substrate of gravel, cobble, or packed silt/sand uncommon on Whidbey. Suitable beaches also shouldn’t be too exposed, an automatic out for many locations on the island’s west side. “That’s not to say you

can’t garden there,” Johnson said in a phone interview Tuesday morning. “You can garden on sand. It requires a different type of gear and more work.” “This is gardening, it’s just like gardening,” he added. “If you want to grow carrots, not every place is suitable for carrots.” Lungren, who lives on Holmes Harbor, has raised oysters for more than two decades. Today, he has 18 bags across his private beach and tideland. Some years are

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record

great, others are good, and a few were terrible. Just like a traditional garden, an oyster garden has pest concerns. Barnacles can smother an oyster bag, limiting the amount of water flow necessary to deliver food in plankton; this is called fouling. As eelgrass has returned to his side of the Freeland harbor, so have sea stars, the ravenous seafloor predators that would consider themselves blessed to stumble upon a bag of oysters, practically an invertebrate’s buffet. “My nemesis has always been sea stars,” said Lungren, also president of The Fishin’ Club, in a phone interview from his Edward Jones office in Clinton. “With the flourishing of the eelgrass beds, those have brought more and more sea stars closer to where we have our bags.” “I know they have a place and I know they provide a balance,” he added. “I am concerned if they got wiped out, there’d be a huge overpopulation of mussels and other things. I dislike them like gardeners dislike rats.” Checking the bags and placing them on the proper type of beach at the right tide level can help reach seed survival rates near 90 percent, Johnson said. This will be South Whidbey Parks’ first oyster class. Past shellfish lessons about crabbing and clam digging have proven popular. This year’s Clam Digging 101 on April 19 is already full and the oyster class is halfway filled. Parks Program Director Carrie Monforte tapped a district volunteer in Johnson, who has helped with the annual triathlon for years, to lead the oyster class. “It’s definitely an interest here,” she said, adding that this class helps people, “(learn) to appreciate what we have here on South Whidbey and all the great resources we have.” Aquaculture has been a bit of a battleground on Whidbey Island in recent years. Concerns about pollution and invasive species led to the county’s prohibition of net-pen aquaculture for all non-native fish in 2013. A series of guidelines lays out how anyone can raise marine life, either privately or commercially, according to Island County Planning Manager Hiller West. “As far as Island County is concerned, I don’t know if we make a distinction,” he said. He recommended, however, that anyone interested in getting started with shellfish farming check with

the Department of Ecology and Department of Natural Resources. The two agencies may have other requirements that aren’t specified in county rules. Johnson declined to comment on the all the various regulations, saying that’s the realm of shoreline planners and legal counsel. He did note that the small-scale nature of what oyster gardeners do was not creating excessive pollution. “What we’re doing is a very small, benign activity on the beach,” Johnson said. “It’s not commercial, we’re not doing aquaculture. It has very little impact on the beach.” The state Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates only the removal of shellfish, and even then only from public lands. Private tidelands and beaches can have oysters removed by the owners and lessees and immediate family members without daily limits for personal use, according to Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s website. Selling oysters is more heavily regulated. Oysters cost $1 to $3 and up per shell, depending on the type, at restaurants. Ordering a dozen fresh, live Pacific oysters for 24-hour delivery costs $130 and more. Getting seed from Taylor Shellfish costs $30 for about 500 spat for Pacific diploid and triploid and Kumos, Virginicas and Olympias. Taking the parks district class costs $25 which includes a determination of the viability of the students’ beaches, and an additional $170 gets students with suitable beaches 10 oyster bags, 500 oyster seed and the gear needed to secure the bags to the beach. “It’s not a huge investment, only to find out their beach isn’t suitable,” Monforte said. For Lungren and his ilk of oyster growers and, more deliciously, oyster shuckers, the payoff comes at the end of every slurp and bite. He raises several varieties, including Pacific triploids that are good to eat yearround because they do not spawn (which makes the meat watery and limp) and native Olympias and the introduced Kumamotos. If he ends up with between 150 to 250 edible oysters, about 50 percent survival, it was a good harvest. “It’s just so gratifying to put these little dime-size spat into an oyster bag, it’s Jack and the Bean Stalks magic beans, it looks ridiculous,” said Lungren, who added that on good years, he can hardly lift the bag alone.
