teve Layman was no ordinary teenager. Rather than taking an interest in hot rods or baseball, Layman was captivated with studying, observing and befriending birds of prey. His fascination began in childhood when, growing up on the Yakama Indian Reservation, he and his friends
aimed to emulate falcons, hoping to one day become great hunters. “The hawks and eagles were hunters … and so, as hunters and gatherers, we were out there playing the game,” he said during a recent presentation at Greenbank Farm. Little else held his attention, Layman recalled, but watching the birds held him rapt for hours.

Greenbank festival draws draws Renaissance fans By KATE DANIEL
kdaniel@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Amidst the hubbub, Your Ladyship Kathryn Garnett appeared an emblem of serenity as she calmly weaved fibers onto her loom. Dressed in historically accurate attire harkening back to the style of the European Renaissance, Garnett, also known as Kay Rairigh, talked with curious passerby, describing in detail the history of her craft. Rairigh, like several attendees of the Renaissance at the Farm, Greenbank Farm’s first renaissancethemed festival, has frequented similar events for decades. Thirty-five years ago, she attended her first Renaissance Festival while on a date. “I was hooked,” she recalled. Today, she is a member of the international Society for Creative Anachronism, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to the preservation, research and recreation of the crafts, arts and experiences of the European Renaissance and Middle Ages. Within the group, Rairigh has adopted a character, Your Ladyship Kathryn Garnett, in the interest of creating and embodying a piece of history. She and a handful of fellow society members present at Saturday’s event are citizens of the kingdom of An Tir, which encompasses the geographical region of Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho, Alberta and British Colombia. Donning period-representative attire and adopting characters,

Greenbank resident Marcia Muchnic crafts handmade pottery at her booth, Pilgrim Pottery, during the festival. Rairigh said, helps to make history more palpable to those interested. During the course of Saturday’s festivities, attendees had the opportunity to learn from and observe a number of entertaining and educational presenters whose goal was similar to Rairigh’s. Entering the grounds, visitors were greeted by a young Galileo, who stamped hands at the gate. Jesters directed traffic; a pirate emceed and judged a costume contest that included an array of characters from fairies and knights to ladies of the court and a dragon.
There were also indications of the event’s theme: “renaissance then and now,” which set it apart from the more traditional Renaissance festivals. Presenters discussed hot topics of the modern era such as home brewing, slow food, organic farming and nose work for dogs. Artists and entertainers served up laughs and awe with acts such as magic, comedy, music and equestrian performances, as well as a presentation by students of Tiger Martial Arts. Kettle corn was served up from a
cart resembling an old-time wagon, while modern treats like ice cream and warm bites from Orlando’s Fish and Grill were also eagerly gobbled up. Approximately 2,500 people attended the event, according to Judy Feldman, executive director of the nonprofit Greenbank Farm Management Group. Though many were Whidbey residents, some, like Maria Christianson and her daughters, ages 4 and 6, were visiting from Missouri. Christian and her girls were visit-
ing family and had decided to stop by because of their affinity with Renaissance-themed activities. “I like the old-time stuff and seeing handmade items,” Christianson said, as she and her daughters perused a booth selling handmade fairy masks and other fay-themed goods. The tent was operated by Paula Fries and her daughters, Lydia Fries and Savannah Carmack, Whidbey residents. The family members dressed the part, with Savannah dressed as a fairy, Paula as a Renaissance-era woman and Lydia as a “peacock” in a white gown and crown of flowers. Though the event was free, donations were accepted to benefit the farm. Feldman said that approximately $2,300 was raised in addition to the community sponsorship money gathered before the event. Feldman also added that the cafe experienced a 30 percent sales increase over the prior weekend, which had also been quite busy. Feldman said she considered it to be a “fabulous event.” “It was good for the farm, the community and all of those small businesses,” she said, adding that a special thanks was due to organizers Jerry and Connie Lloyd. “It would not have happened without their blood, sweat and tears.” n For more photos, go to www. whidbeynewstimes.com

Boat team brings home gold By RON NEWBERRY
rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com
A Whidbey Island-based dragon boat team wowed its coach Saturday in Seattle. Stayin’ Alive, a team from the North Puget Sound Dragon Boat Club, completed five races in recreational division at the 12th annual Seattle Dragon Boat Festival and took home the gold medal in the Cancer Survivor’s Cup. “I found the team to be outstanding,” said Suzanne Marter, the team’s coach from Coupeville who founded the club in 2006. “They were the best beginner team I’ve ever dealt with.” Marter started the club as a group of mostly cancer survivors; however, membership has expanded to all ablebodied paddlers and split into two teams two years ago. Twenty-four paddlers from Island and Skagit counties represented Stayin’ Alive on South Lake Union, where the team took a silver medal in the 500-meter championship race of Division 3, the slow-

Stayin’ Alive, a dragon boat racing team based on Whidbey Island, competes in the Seattle Dragon Boat Festival July 25. est of the three recreational divisions. But considering that several members were competing in their first race, the feat was impressive, Marter said. “They all took it very seriously,” Marter said, “but they all had a lot of fun. We always say, it’s about food, friends and fun and fitness, not necessarily in that order.” Stayin’ Alive, which trains in Oak Harbor, captured the Cancer Survivor’s Cup for at least the second time, Marter said. The criteria for that race is that a minimum number of participants must be cancer survivors.
Marter, who is a cancer survivor, said the team is made up of both cancer survivors and supporters. “Probably half the boat has been paddling six years or more,” said Norma Lisherness, a cancer survivor from Mount Vernon. “This year, there are also new people who were paddling in their first race.” A large tunnel of participants holding paddles greeted Stayin’ Alive on the shore after it won the Cancer Survivor’s Cup. “It’s really life-affirming, emotional, a very cool thing,” Lisherness said. “It’s very touching.”

Veteran Stand Down on Saturday Veterans and their families are invited to attend a Veterans Stand Down event planned for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the American Legion Post No. 141, on South Whidbey, off State Highway 525 and Bayview.
A “stand down” is traditionally a time for military units to decompress after combat — a rest period to get a hot shower, a good meal and some medical care, said Gene Berg, a volunteer coordinator with the
Whidbey Veterans Resource Center. The event is a way to connect veterans with important resources, including VA enrollment counselors, mental health counseling, legal resources and more.

Bringing peace of mind to bereaved pet owners By DEBRA VAUGHN
dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Tucked behind the regal Wallin Funeral Home and Cremation is another business for the bereaved – but this one is for pets, not people. Gary and Martha Wallin opened their funeral home five years ago in Oak Harbor near Maple Leaf Cemetery. At the same time, they opened a cremation business, Evergreen Pet Cremation, just for animals. It’s the only funeral home offering pet cremations on the island.
Photo provided
Lynette Kessler had many adventures with her horse, Garth, before he died earlier this summer.
PEOPLE COME from as far away as Seattle and the San Juan Islands to have dogs, cats, birds and, in one case, a gerbil cremated. “There’s a huge need for it,” Gary Wallin said. “People treat their animals like family.” Caring for both people and animals is a sensitive matter.
The Wallins make it clear that animals are handled separately. There’s a cottage-like building at the back of the funeral home with an office. In a clean, sparse room is a crematorium exactly like the one used for people in the main funeral home, except smaller. The building is set near a rain garden and a bench for reflection. WALLIN ESTIMATES animal cremations make up about a fifth of total business, and they handle about 250 animals a year. They have contracts with local veterinarians. They also deal directly with pet owners, who sometimes deliver animals. The Wallins will pick up deceased pets too. The cremated remains can be scattered or placed in a vessel. People can have pet remains placed inside glass or incorporated into jewelry. Cost is based on the weight of the animal.

Martha and Gary Wallin operate the only pet cremation business on the island behind their funeral home near Maple Leaf Cemetery in Oak Harbor. If pet owners would prefer to bury animals, they can. State law calls for dead animals to be disposed of within 72 hours of death by “burial, landfilling, incineration, composting, rendering or another method approved by the local health officer.” You may bury a dead pet, but the animals must be covered by at least three feet of soil and at least 100 feet away from water sources or any location that might contaminate ground water, according to state law. THOUGH THE Wallins want it to be clear pets are handled separately from
people, they treat pet owners the same as if they’ve lost a human family member. “Often the emotions are so strong,” Gary Wallin said. “People get attached to animals; sometimes it’s like a child.” “It can be a person’s only companionship.” The crematorium can handle animals up to about 250 pounds. The largest animal they handled was a 252pound Newfoundland-mastiff mix. “It looked like a black bear,” Gary Wallin said. Only a few places in the SEE PETS, A5

people,” she said. For the Wallins, that’s just what they do. “When families have a loss, whether a family member or an animal, that’s a part of the family,” said Martha Wallin. “Sometimes the loss is poignant. It can be very devastating for folks to lose an animal … I’m glad we could assist.”

When asked to describe the emotions associated with caring for a loved one with memory loss, the most common response is: “I feel so guilty.” Caregivers feel guilty for: things that happened in the past; the unusual behavior of their loved one; losing their temper; resenting the caregiving responsibilities; and so much more.

Ask the Expert these guilty feelings are small while others center around critical issues. The trouble with guilt feelings is that, if left unaddressed, they can interfere with healthy, effective decision making. Recognizing the guilt that surrounds caring for a loved one with memory loss can help keep it in perspective, allowing the caregiver to be more objective in their daily interactions with their loved one. Here are some things you can do to help keep your guilt in perspective: • Recognize the feelings for what they are. When the source of guilty feelings are recognized they become manageable. • Identify how the feelings of guilt are affecting your decision-making. • Don’t second guess the decisions that you make. • Don’t expect to be perfect. It is common to feel resentful, angry and lonely at times. Accept these feelings as normal and don’t feel guilty. • Seek help from professionals and support groups. You need outside support and guidance to keep perspective. Above all remember, you are doing the very best job that you can. Give yourself credit for all that you do.

state handle large animals. These businesses have a large crematorium and cranes to lift animals as big as horses, elephants and rhinos. THE WALLINS can’t handle large animals, but they connect people with other businesses in the state that do. Lynette Kessler was so moved by how compassionately the Wallins treated her that she wrote a letter to the editor of the Whidbey NewsTimes. Earlier this summer she lost her horse, Garth. The horse got caught between a water trough and a fence at the farm where he was boarded. In the attempt to

The Oak Harbor woman would take him for rides through the woods and down to the beach. “He was mischievous but well-behaved under the saddle,” she said. “He was a good horse. But he knew how to open gates and escape. He was always a character.” She didn’t want to send him to a rendering plant. “A close friend lost her horse in California and had to send him to the renderer,” she said. “It was a horrible experience for her.” KESSLER SAID she walked into the funeral home expecting to receive contact information.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Election
Campbell took time to hear concerns Editor, It is my hope that the citizens of Oak Harbor will consider carefully who they support for the next mayor of the city. Having dealt with City Council on the wastewater treatment plant, and looking at the history of City Council decisions, in my mind the one candidate who makes sense is Jim Campbell. He is the one council member who was willing to sit with those of us who were raising questions about the plans for the treatment plant and honestly try to answer our questions and look at suggestions we the citizens had. Jim is the one candidate whom I find is truly open to listening to and respecting the citizens of Oak Harbor. He continues to be open minded and receptive and does not automatically dismiss an idea because it would require rethinking some things and might add a small amount to the cost of a project. He is concerned about getting things accomplished but not by running over community members just because their ideas would require a change of thinking. He is willing to listen honestly to anybody and evaluate their ideas on the validity of the idea itself and not on the person who brought the idea. One example of what I am talking about is the treatment plant. When a group of us brought questions to the City Council, we were met with, “Why didn’t you bring those ideas up five years ago?” When the answer was, “We did not live here five years ago.” The attitude of most of the City Council was either, “that’s your problem, not ours,” or, “we know what is best for you so don’t worry about it.” Neither of those in those specific words, but in attitude. Jim was the one person who came to us and asked that we put our questions and suggestions in writing for him to look at. He did and sat down with us and explained why certain things could not be

Drum more than a health care worker Editor, Putting things in perspective is important to those seeking unclouded insight by the Whidbey News-Times editorial regarding candidates for hospital commissioner. “Things at WGH are just fine and under control” according to our CPA Gardner who has a track record of: n Taking credit for the financial well being of the local hospital and having run up $4 million and then $5 million deficits over two successive years. She claims she “loves to count the pennies,” and I wish these were pennies. Then again, of course, “we opponents, Born and Drum, are the confused ones.” Oh, “the hospital is starting to show a profit now” Gardner stated last week at the Old Goats luncheon followed by … “the hospital is a nonprofit hospital and dare not show a profit.” How is it possible to have it both ways? n Neglecting critical union contracts with the Washington State Nursing Association, which filed a complaint with the Department of Health, must not be considered an incumbent oversight. Who is in charge? Certainly, not this commissioner? n Gardner is unaware of the role of the Joint Commission survey of hospitals which certifies the availability of the hospital to receive Medicare reimbursements. Is it possible for a commissioner responsible for the financial well-being of a hospital to be so ill-informed? n Gardner is opposed to affiliation with a major hospital outside
the perimeter of a Critical Access Hospital “as we might lose autonomy.” Our autonomy is more threatened by Obamacare as he dislikes the special subsidies to Critical Access Hospitals. Tomorrow it well might not exist by executive decree. According to the News-Times, Rita Drum is renamed Rita “Born a former healthcare worker” I’d love to consider these mere typos, but error of thoughts often spill over into attempts to discredit a very talented woman of incredible principle, which is sorely needed. Were it not for this very creative woman, about 500 miscarried babies would have been thrown into the New York dumpster as that is a common practice throughout America. Instead they were respectfully buried with parents finding closure. Few could stand up against this barbaric practice, and Rita Drum has set the banner for saying no more discarding babies into the garbage. The laws of our states require that if a baby is less than 20 weeks it is not the property of the parents, but of the hospital and as such becomes bio-waste and can be discarded as trash. In Oregon’s case,

these babies can be put in a furnace to help heat the hospital. This is ethically wrong, and for a mere “former health care worker” to have created a program for baby burials that has been continued for the past five years is a Godsend to be applauded. With a master’s degree in forensic pathology, she knows how to connect the dots, which includes political dots. We are amazed at such shoddy reporting.

Gardner wants WGH to stay independent Editor, Georgia Gardner wants to continue to serve our community as she has in the past. She is a CPA, business owner and served six years as a state legislator. She is a priceless member of the Whidbey General Hospital board of directors. Georgia is the financial expert on the board. When she was growing up in Coupeville, there was no hospital. Some community-minded members
found a way to create one. Now she wants to continue to carry the torch to provide the best medical services to the residents of and visitors to Whidbey Island. In an earlier article, she stated, “I’m an island girl … I was here before Whidbey General Hospital, and I want it to be the best hospital it can be.” Gardner said she sees many financially related challenges evolving for hospitals in coming years and is eager to roll up her sleeves and continue to work, for this organization that is so essential to her hometown. “We are independent. We base all our decisions on the care that best suits the needs of our community. This is what I have worked to achieve and it is what I am committed to continue … the best care and the financial security to ensure our independence.” Georgia is the only candidate that sincerely wants Whidbey General to remain independent. Please cast your vote for and reelect Commissioner Georgia Gardner to Whidbey General Hospital District No. 2, the multiple award winning hospital. Jack and Sue Tingstad Coupeville

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IT
Tournament
Letter writer wrong in many assumptions
Women’s golf association grateful for generosity
Editor, Jeez. I am so tired of having to correct Jim Pace’s wildly incorrect assumptions per his letter to the editor in Wednesday’s Whidbey News-Times. First, my husband and I both retired in 2010. It is standard policy that all employees get unused vacation paid back when they leave and a percentage — depending on their length of service — of their unused sick leave. This is standard practice in most agencies. My husband’s last check, which included his regular pay, was $20,000 because he had 12 years of accumulated unused sick/vacation pay. My last check was $8,000, which included regular pay, due to the fact I had almost no unused sick leave because I’d been flying to California to take care of my mother. My husband did not rake leaves. He is a master diesel mechanic who worked for Seattle Metro, Community Transit and was supervisor for IT’s vehicle maintenance department. Twice since we’ve retired he was hired back as a contract employee to fill in when IT lost its maintenance manager until they could fill that position. Jim’s incorrect statement that my husband “was given” $35,000 in 2010 as a buyout is false. This also included contract pay at the end of 2010 when he was first called back to fill in. The 2009 levy meeting he references was after two years of IT suffering through the recession and because Martha Rose was so frugal with our money, we were the only transit agency that had not yet severely cut service. Even through her herculean effort, there is only so much recession deficit we could absorb. Trying to discredit the hard working employees of Island Transit to use as a diversionary tactic to erase the point I made about Martha Rose being a warrior of the people is boring and ridiculous. So, Jim, I will see your interpretation of our financial reports and raise you with W2 forms and tax statements.
Editor, On behalf of the Whidbey Golf Club’s Ladies Association, I would like to recognize the unbelievable and continued support of these great businesses of Oak Harbor. This is an annual two-day tournament with women coming from throughout the state, California and Canada. With 84 women it could not have been done without these amazing supporters. A huge thank you to Dave and Jane Fikse of Gerald’s Jewelry who continue to give, give and give. Without hesitation they sponsor a hole in one each year and donate jewelry to our popular raffle. Hole sponsors and generous monetary donations from Ron Wallin of P &L General Contractors, Greg Smith of Edward Jones and SaviBank, Heritage Bank, Dr. Gary Berner, Carla’s Shear Inspiration, Ron Coleman of Mountain Mist Water, Diane Geragotelis of Ballet Slipper and Lucas Horrobin of Oak Harbor Motors were huge contributors to our successful tournament. Had it not been for these people and their generous pockets and time, it would be very, very difficult to continue to hold our Whidbey Ladies Invitational each year. Please honor and support these businesses in Oak Harbor because they all truly support our community in more ways than you know. Thank You!

Medicare
Valuable program is turning 50 this week Editor, On July 30 one of our nation’s most valuable and popular social programs turns 50. Signed into law by President Johnson, the program currently covers 55 million
LOOKING BACK: 125 YEARS Americans – people aged 65 and older and those with permanent disabilities. On its golden anniversary, Medicare can celebrate many worthy accomplishments. Among them, it sharply reduced poverty among seniors and reduced health disparities related to race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. While not perfect, Medicare allows enrolled Americans to go to the doctor or hospital of their choice, and they are far happier than those with private insurance. Access to needed healthcare has led to better health outcomes for seniors and contributed to a five-year increase in life expectancy at age 65. Little appreciated is that fact that traditional Medicare spends only 2 percent on overhead/administrative costs compared to private insurance whose costs run anywhere from 12-30 percent. Healthcare costs under Medicare, versus private insurance, have also experienced a slower rate of growth. Given the myriad of shortcomings of the Affordable Care Act – e.g., decreasing employer coverage, increasing out-ofpocket expenses and lack of cost controls – is it not time to seriously consider expanding and improving Medicare for everyone? A national, improved “Medicare for All” could easily be financed with a nominal increase in the federal payroll tax, currently at 1.45 percent, and savings of approximately $400 billion annually that goes for the administrative waste associated with the private insurance industry. Imagine, no more premiums, co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, restricted provider networks, bankruptcies from medical debt, but instead savings from negotiating drug prices, universal, comprehensive coverage, regardless of employment status, the freedom to choose one’s doctors and hospital and more money for discretionary spending outside of healthcare. For the past several years there was legislation in Congress – H.R. 676 – the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act – that would put such a system in place. Since most Americans already support such national health insurance, all that is needed now is the political will and pressure on our elected officials in Washington, D. C. to make it happen.

Cow exceeds butter fat production of competitors Here’s what was happening in the news this week:
100 years ago n I.M. Howell, secretary of state, of Olympia, and F.M. Fretwell, secretary of the Washington Automobile Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the Auto Club of Seattle, visited Whidbey to discuss the ways in which they may direct tourists visiting Western Washington to stop by Whidbey. Their objective was to direct tourists to all “points of interest” in and around Tacoma and Seattle and not allow travelers to drift away into points with no attractions for the “inquiring stranger.” n A committee from the Oak Harbor cannery traveled to Burlington and Seattle to gain information regarding the market for beets and compare the expense account of Whidbey’s cannery with that of Burlington. n The Holstein-Friesan cow, Finderine Pride Johanna Rue No. 121083 was named the new queen of the dairy world, exceeding in yearly butter fat production over all other cows, regardless of age, class, or breed.
75 years ago
n The City of Oak Harbor shut off water for nearly an hour due to an error made by a ditch digger. The digger was working on a sewer project and snagged one of the water mains on Barrington Ave. Most of the block was doused. n In a regular column entitled “We Women,” women of Whidbey were encouraged to consider the calorie content of their food in preparation for bathing suit season. A detailed list of 100-calorie food portions was provided. n Plans were established for the inauguration of the government’s food stamp plan for surplus commodities in Island County. Approximately 450 families in the county, including between 900 and 1,000 individuals, would be eligible to purchase the stamps.
50 years ago
n Members of the Coupeville Garden Club held their annual picnic at the Gibson home. The club was expected to furnish bouquets, plants and hanging baskets for the Coupeville Festival. n Dr. and Mrs. Leslie Chaffee celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. The couple, who moved to Edmonds, had been married in Oak Harbor. Dr. Chaffee had practiced medicine in Coupeville for several years. n Berry picking at Greenbank Farm was underway. Currants were at their peak and John Sinema, farm manager, was experimenting with thornless blackberries.
25 years ago
n Pablo Ruiz Juarez, a Guatemalan refugee briefly held in the Oak Harbor jail after being denied refugee status in Canada, was scheduled to present his case in federal court in Seattle. Groups assisting Central American refugees from Bellingham to South Whidbey worked to help stall the man’s deportation, fearing he would be executed for his political activities without benefit of a trial. The Oak Harbor Police Department and Island County Sheriff’s Department routinely held federal prisoners, most often when for the Border Patrol, when there is space available in the jails.

Youderian
Karen Lee Youderian
Karen Lee Youderian was born Nov. 13, 1934, in Seattle to Roy and Edith (Rowlands) Moore. She passed away May 29 at the home of her daughter in East Wenatchee. She married Edward Youderian on April 13, 1951, in Coupeville, a place they continued to call home for the next 36 years. There, five children joined
their family and enjoyed life on Whidbey Island. Karen was also a foster mom to many others, in addition to being employed by the Coupeville School District for several years. In 1987, they moved to their home and acreage along the beautiful Methow River. Karen enjoyed quilting, gardening and collecting antiques. But most of all, she valued spending time with her family. Karen especially enjoyed gathering everyone together for Sunday dinners, where her home-baked pies were always a favorite part of the meal. Karen loved her family very much and will be dearly missed. Karen leaves behind her husband of 64 years, Edward Youderian of Methow; her sons, Tim (Carlee) Youderian of Brewster and Curt (Tina) Youderian of Coupeville; her daughter, Teresa (Dan) Beardslee of East Wenatchee; her sister, Alice Herbert; and her brothers, Monty Moore and David Moore. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Erik Holcomb, Jodi Dorey, Corynn Youderian, Calvin Youderian and Rachel Beardslee; four step-grandchildren, Shawn Ankney, Sarah Theal, Judd Shepard and Elizabeth Shepard; six great-grandchildren, Cody Holcomb, Alyssa Dorey, Kenzie Dorey, Kylie Holcomb, Kendra Holcomb and Lucy Youderian; and one great-great-grandson, Kael Holcomb. She was preceded in death by two daughters, Sharon Marie in 1963 and Lora Kay in 1987. A celebration of life will be held from 2-4 p.m. July 26 at 145 Old Hwy 97 in Brewster. An additional celebration will be held from 3-5 p.m. Aug. 1 at 188 Percheron Lane in Coupeville.

STORE
FESTIVAL
CONTINUED FROM A1
CONTINUED FROM A1 to find their very favorite vendors. Festival President Mike Dessert said vendors are carefully vetted prior to acceptance. “We really stress quality, hand-made items,” Dessert said. “Items have to be hand-crafted by the person selling them. “It’s a heavily juried process.” Historically, the arts and crafts festival is held the second week in August, but was moved up a week due to a conflict with the Anacortes Arts and Crafts Festival. Dessert said he isn’t sure how much moving the date will effect the festival. Coupeville and Anacortes share 65 vendors that normally attend both festivals. Dessert said there are vendors who attend other events that may or may not conflict with the change. “We’ll see different vendors this year,” he said. “It’s kind of a wash.” There’s a full lineup of entertain-
ment planned over both days. Bayview Sound Quartet, Whidbey Island’s premier Bluegrass/roots band will get things started 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday followed by Brian Butler Blues, a blues guitarist performing 1-2:20 p.m., and Mike Faast and the Fabulous Archtops Rhythm and Jazz will end Saturday, performing from 3-4:30 p.m. Rhythm and Jazz will also kick things off Sunday, performing 11-12:30 p.m., followed by The Roy Kay Trio from 1-2:30 p.m. and Scott Lindenmuth Group from 3-4:30 p.m. bringing the weekend event to a close. All entertainment will be located in the municipal parking lot off Alexander Street, behind the public library. Located near the entertainment stage will be the food court, which will run 9:30 a.m. to closing each day of the festival. Food vendors will include Whidbey Island locals Coupe’s Last Stand, Front Street Grill, Julie’s Lumpia Hut and others.

In order to operate a business inside of a city park, the City Council must approve a vendor agreement. Councilman Bob Severns said that will likely happen in early August. The store would operate year-round but with more hours during peak boating season.
The business partners are liveaboards at the marina. They would be charged the standard fee for renting sheds at the marina — $213 a month for both sheds. During a council work session, Councilwoman Beth Munns suggested the store could stock bus schedules and brochures for visitors.

THE FALCONER CONTINUED FROM A1 It wasn’t long before Layman had trained his first bird, establishing a relationship with the hawk which contained no fear from either party. In order to capture his first raptor, Layman stole the bird’s rabbit. The second time, he took half of the bird’s prey, leaving some behind. It’s a technique he said has been used for some time. It was only a matter of time before the bird began to follow him. “We have an instinctual, intellectual understanding of the process,” he said. Raptors are able to recognize individual people, and come to view him as a dependable and trustworthy source of food. Gleaning inspiration from T.H. White’s book “The Goshawk” and a National Geographic article entitled “The Sport of Kings,” Layman quickly developed an interest in the craft of falconry. Today, Layman is an expert falconer, a raptor biologist and an educator. “It’s a natural history life-
style,” he said. At his home, he has nine raptors, some of which are employed at several Whidbey Island farms, including Mutiny Bay Blues in Freeland. The raptors intimidate the smaller birds who would otherwise steal away with snacks of blueberries or other produce. Layman has also assisted with a project employing raptors in scaring away smaller birds who enjoy swiping food from a five-star restaurant in Georgia. Many of the birds accompany Layman for hunting, or for educational presentations. One of the indicators of a great falconer, he said, is the falconer’s ability to let a bird go free and see that bird return. Often, Layman’s birds soar off in solitude for weeks or months at a time, but always return. It’s a sort of symbiotic relationship, he said. During his presentation, Layman took a moment to feed the bird he had brought
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
with him after noticing the hawk appeared hungry. “He thinks I’m his mom,” Layman explained to a group of attentive children in the front row. Layman said that humans have been hunting with raptors for more than 2,000 years. During the Renaissance, falconry was practiced throughout by both farmers and nobility. Recently, the craft has experienced a boom, he said. “If I were younger I think I would consider getting into (falconry),” said Jerry Lloyd, a friend of Layman’s. “He’s brilliant at this,” Lloyd said of Layman. With the advancement of technology, the knowledge of raptors and their capabilities has also greatly increased. With the use of small GPS tracking devices attached to the bird’s back, researchers have been able to calculate raptors’ speed and height while flying. “It’s a real exciting time for us,” he said. About 10 years ago, Layman and fellow falconers trained birds to fly from helicopters, following the descent of skydivers.

A presentation attendee gently strokes the feathers of Layman’s hawk. The bird is in the later stages of his annual molting process. and pleasure for decades, Layman said he still finds the experience of being in their presence “humbling.” “As a biologist I’ve been interested in the wild, where there are no people. As I have grown and matured, I have realized that the future of wildlife is in close proximity to people,” he said. Particularly on Whidbey Island, wildlife is observable from most residents’ backyards. Osprey take periodically
Through their studies, they found that falcons can reach a speed of 240 miles per hour, though Layman said it is speculated that they may actually reach speeds of up to 300 miles per hour, though that has not yet been quantified. Layman was able to record a female peregrine falcon ascending to approximately 6,000 and 10,000 feet using the radio transmitters. Although he has partnered with raptors for both business

Layman noted that the island has become more biologically diverse ever since he first moved here 25 years ago, and said the amount of predators and scavengers is a good sign of a healthy ecosystem. “We’ve got the leisure to appreciate things like this now, instead of competing with it,” Layman said.

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Sun and sails glistened on the waters of Penn Cove and Saratoga Passage as Whidbey Island Race Week 2015 wrapped up its 33rd regatta Friday, July 24. More than 100 boats competed this summer. Sixty-eight big boats battled in two divisions and nine classes through 11 races June 20-24. Dinghy races were held for the first time, and 38 boats, split over two divisions and five classes, participated
in three races July 18 and 19. Five skippers represented Oak Harbor in the regatta. Among the big boats, Oak Harbor’s Yeah Dogg, skippered by Chad Holcomb, placed fifth in the nine-boat Performance Handicap Racing Fleet No. 9 (Gray) class with 49 points, one spot ahead of Lucky Jim and James McAlpine (60.5 points). Yeah Dogg, which never placed lower than sixth in the 11 races, finished the week strong by earning a third and two fourths over the final four races.

Warm weather requires greater Tansy awareness GUEST COLUMN
By JANET STEIN
It is the time of year—actually a little early, thanks to our warm weather— when roadsides and pastures glow with golden flowers on long stalks. Before admiring, however, take a good look to be sure the flower is not tansy ragwort, a poisonous invasive plant that affects horses, cows, pigs, goats, deer and, yes, humans. Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) is a noxious invasive weed that originated in Eurasia but seems to like the Pacific

Visitors stroll through the lavender labyrinth, peruse artist booths while feasting on woodfired pizza and lavender infused treats during the Lavender Wind Festival this past weekend. Throughout both days live entertainment was offered and guests lounged in the beer and wine garden while listening to local musicians.
Lavender
Love
Annual festival celebrates, the fragrant, functional flower
Above: Maxwell Anderson loads 90 pounds of lavender into a copper kettle used as part of the distilling process to produce essential oil. From that 90 pounds of fresh cut lavender, the farm produces several small jars of the oil they use in various products. Left: Bundles of lavender hang to dry in various areas of the farm.
Northwest a lot. Alkaloids in tansy ragwort accumulate in the liver, so even small quantities ingested by grazing animals or from contaminated hay can cause serious illness, including intestinal bleeding and death. It spoils the taste of milk and honey produced by animals or insects consuming it. The sap can trigger inflammation on exposed skin— even the smoke of burned tansy ragwort can injure skin and lungs. This is a plant that is bad for both agricultural and recreational economies in Island County. The Washington State Weed Control Board has designated it a Class B weed, requiring control by property owners. However, given its toxicity and readiness to spread, all citizens should recognize tansy ragwort and help to control it. How to recognize: First-year tansy ragwort appears as a lacey rosette of leaves close to the ground. In its second year, the plant produces a stalk with deeply cut curly leaves topped with a cluster of small golden, daisy-like flowers. Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) has similar leaves and is sometimes mistaken for tansy ragwort, but its flowers are yellow buttons, like a daisy without petals. What is being done: Mowing of roadsides does not control the weeds and can even spread them. In 2014 the Island County Noxious Weed Board collaborated with the Department of Public Works (PW) to fund a team from the Washington Conservation Corps to help with control efforts; in four days they removed over a ton of tansy ragwort, almost 9,000 plants. Unfortunately, those funds are not available this year. Conscientious property owners and concerned individuals watch for and destroy weeds but many people remain unaware or unconcerned, even as the plants encroach on their property. It is frustrating to try to manage the weeds and see so many blooming freely. What you can do: Notify the Noxious Weed Control Board if you see an infestation that does not appear to be addressed, especially if livestock are grazing there. Control the weeds on your property. Manual control, pulling or digging to remove the entire root, is not very difficult with tansy ragwort and works well to control small quantities. Wear gloves, long pants and sleeves, get the plants before they go to seed and place pulled plants in strong garbage bags. Do not compost or leave beside the road. Place sealed bags in the garbage or take to one of the Island County Transfer stations which will dispose of noxious weeds at no charge. Mechanical controls, such as tilling, can help control larger infestations but may also encourage more seeds to germinate. Tansy ragwort seeds remain viable for up to 10 years, so tilling once won’t solve the problem. Also, if the heads are removed but plants remain in the ground they will re-bloom. Herbicides can be used on large areas, as well, with care to follow instructions on application. Consult the county’s Noxious Weed Board for an evaluation and recommendations. Call 360-678-7992 or email j.stein@co.island.wa.us for information or to volunteer for a tansy ragwort pull. n Janet Stein is the noxious weed program coordinator for Island County.

SLOWIK CONTINUED FROM A1 a text came through that caused Slowik to cut off her husband in mid-sentence. “He got it!” she yelled. Those three words, all in capital letters, were texted to Candy Slowik from Gina Slowik, who was still feeling numb in a crowded conference room at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. She had just got done embracing her husband Tony Slowik after his name was announced, declaring him as the 2015 recipient of the Chief Warrant Officer Michael J. Novosel Award. The national award, presented annually by the Reserve Officers
Association, recognizes the most outstanding chief warrant officer, encompassing all branches of U.S. military service. Slowik, 39, is a U.S. Coast Guard reservist based out of Port Security Unit 313 in Everett who has been activated since October. An Oak Harbor resident and 1994 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, Slowik also is a patrol officer with the Oak Harbor Police Department. He is on a military leave of absence as he prepares for an upcoming deployment with the Coast Guard. Earlier Monday at the Reserve Officers Association’s national convention, Slowik also received a plaque honoring him as the 2014 Coast Guard Reserve Chief Warrant Officer of the Year. He’s been either a reservist or active duty in the Coast Guard for

19 years. His wife was at his side when his name was announced for the Michael J. Novosel Award, named after the former Medal of Honor recipient who served in three wars. Novosel, a bomber pilot, gave up the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve to become a chief warrant officer and helicopter pilot in the Army during the Vietnam War. It is the first time a reservist from the Coast Guard received the award. “It’s an extremely big honor,” Tony Slowik said. “It’s something I never really imagined receiving. “To be selected as the recipient is a very big honor and very humbling.” News traveled fast out of D.C. Candy Slowik said she got goose bumps when she learned her son was awarded the national honor.
She was receiving updates from her daughter-in-law all morning. At 11:16 a.m., she got the big news, which she excitedly shared with her husband Jim Slowik, the former Oak Harbor mayor who was listening on the phone from his workplace. “Tony has always been the kid who is just like the Eveready battery,” Candy Slowik said of her eldest son, one of four children. “He’s broken a number of bones throughout his life and it has never stopped him.” “I knew he could do this. “The whole family is so proud of him.” Tony Slowik was accompanied by his wife and lieutenant commander Nan Silverman-Wise, the executive officer from his command. When Slowik’s name was announced for the Michael J. Novosel Award, he said he was
shocked. “It was very surreal,” he said. “Thankfully, I had my wife next to me. We were able to share the moment together. Slowik, a police officer in Oak Harbor for 12 years, said he is grateful for the city’s understanding in accomodating his military leave. He’s also grateful for his family that includes two daughters. “The balancing act is always difficult,” Slowik said. “You’re always short-changing somebody. Having a career in the Coast Guard and having a career in the police department, the rock for me has always been my wife. She’s been the foundation in the family, extremely supportive and encouraging and my best friend. None of this would be possible without her.”
