Whidbey News-Times, August 04, 2012

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Is it 20 years old or a thousand? Was it carved by Native Americans or white settlers? Perhaps it was made more recently by a local arti-san?

These are all good questions but, so far, the origins and history of a stone face found submerged in Perego’s Lagoon on the west side of Whidbey Island 15 years ago has local, state and tribal experts all scratching their heads.

In fact, the only positive conclu-sion reached so far about the curi-ous piece is what to name it.

“We call him Perego Man,” said a smiling Rick Castellano, execu-

tive director of the Island County Historical Society in Coupeville.

The mysterious face, which was carved into what appears to be one of the head-sized granite boulders that litter Whidbey beaches, was found in 1997 by a family visiting from Seattle.

The boy, whom Castellano could only identify as Anand, was wading through the lagoon at the foot of Ebey’s Bluff when he stepped on something sharp. Looking down, he discovered the barnacle cov-ered face.

“It was looking back at him,” Castellano said.

As the story goes, the family took the object home but brought it back soon after experiencing a

string of bad luck. According to Castellano, the boy’s mother was intent on tossing it back in the lagoon but was persuaded other-wise by a friend, former Coupeville resident John Pawley.

He remained in stewardship of the face for many years but Pawley decided to donate the piece to the museum this past June before mov-ing to Oregon. Castellano said he’s always happy to increase the his-torical society’s collection but this piece has been particularly chal-lenging to identify.

“We can usually figure out where something came from … but this one is a mystery,” Castellano said.

“It’s a very odd, weird and unusual piece,” he said.

Pictures were sent to experts at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington in the hopes of shedding some light on the carving but they also had few answers, according to Castellano. While they thought the piece was interesting, they could not classify or identify it with any particular culture or time period, he said.

Geese poop at Cranberry LakeBy NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter

A group of Canada geese caused the closure of a popular swimming hole on North Whidbey Island.

Island County Public Health announced this week that the west-ern part of Cranberry Lake, locat-ed on the Whidbey Island side of Deception Pass State Park, is closed to swimming until further notice.

Health officials closed the popu-lar swim site because of persistently high levels of E. coli bacteria that has been recorded in that part of the lake, according to the Island County Public Health.

Red advisory signs and caution tape are posted at the swimming area to discourage swimmers from taking a dip.

“We don’t want people to risk even going in there,” said Jack Hartt, manager of Deception Pass State Park.

It appears that a high popula-tion of Canada geese, commonly referred to as Canada honkers, is the cause of the elevated E. coli levels.

Deception Pass Manager Jack Hartt said the population of the honkers has increased in recent years. He estimated that between 50 and 80 geese currently live at Cranberry Lake. The droppings the geese produce has been a prob-lem for park staff since each bird produces between one and three pounds of doo each day. He said staff cleans the manure from the beaches, but they don’t have any way to remove it from the water.

Big piles of the poop remained at the edge of the deserted swimming hole Friday morning.

Honkers close beach to swimmers

See PeReGo, A4

Department is advising peo-ple to avoid swimming, wad-ing or water play where water could be swallowed, get into the mouth nose or eyes.

Contact with fecal contami-nated bacteria can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. The risk is greatest for young chil-dren, the elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system.

Jill Wood, Island County environmental health direc-tor, said Friday morning staff monitors area swim-ming areas in the county on a monthly basis during the summer months. When staff noted the high concentra-tions of E. coli when they took a sample at Cranberry Lake Tuesday, they notified park staff of the situation and took a second sample to confirm the results. After the confirmation test, the closure was announced.

Thursday’s announcement marks the first time health officials have closed a fresh-water swimming area in Island County because of E. coli, Wood said.

“We hope we can get a solution as quickly as pos-sible,” Wood said. She com-plimented the efforts of park

staff to proactively manage the closure.

Health officials will moni-tor the bacteria levels at Cranberry Lake on a weekly basis.

The closure of the west side of Cranberry Lake to swimming comes during the busiest time of the year at one of the busiest state parks in Washington. That swim-ming area is a popular attrac-tion for campers and visitors. Only a narrow sandy beach separates it from the chilly waters of Puget Sound.

“It’s going to be a real frustration to people coming up here expecting to find a swimming beach and not finding one,” Hartt said.

The closure will affect the park system’s revenues and it will also affect the concession stand that operates near the swimming area, Hartt said.

He noted that the lake is still open to boats and fish-ing.

As for finding a solution to the bacteria problem, that could prove to be difficult.

Hartt said staff is looking at options, but doesn’t have a solution yet. One option would be to make loud noise to scatter the geese, but that would disturb visitors.

Gary Piazzon, member of the Whidbey Audubon Society, said the best way to eliminate a goose problem is to get rid of lawns, which are a favorite spot for the honk-

ers because it gives them great visibility to spot poten-tial predators.

Cranberry Lake isn’t the only place on Whidbey Island that has had a goose issue.

Plans were in place at Honeymoon Lake last spring to euthanize four adult geese and three goslings. That incident angered local bird enthusiasts and prompted a petition drive to try and save the geese. Eventually some-one snuck into the area and removed the geese.

Piazzon recommends against forcible relocation. Interacting with the geese could be dangerous and they also may have health problems that could threaten other geese populations.

As for the water quality, Hartt said there isn’t much that can be done right now. The lake does drain toward the south, but the water level is currently low and it won’t drain quickly.

He’s concerned the swim-ming closure on the west side of Cranberry Lake will remain in effect through the summer. Hartt pointed out that the east side of Cranberry Lake can be used for swim-ming; however, it is also a popular fishing spot and it would take some cooperation for both activities. The east side of the lake doesn’t have a designated swimming area; it just has a pier which is popu-lar with local anglers.

Warning signs and yellow tape are visible at the Cranberry Lake swimming area that is to help discourage people from swimming in the water. Island County Health Department officials closed the popular swimming hole at Deception Pass State Park because of high levels of E. coli bacteria caused by goose droppings.

Geese�also�flock�to�Cornet�BayCranberry Lake isn’t the only area on North Whidbey

that is being inundated with large numbers of Canada geese.

Cornet Bay, located in Deception Pass State Park east of Highway 20, is also home to a large number of the honk-ers.

Jack Hartt, manager of Deception Pass State Park, estimated between 90 and 100 geese are living at Cornet Bay year around. The number of birds has prompted com-plaints from visitors. Because Cornet Bay isn’t a swimming area, it doesn’t face the same health department closure for swimmers. However, goose droppings are an issue.

To help combat the problem, park staff are working to eliminate a favorite habitat of the geese, which is the mowed grass.

Hartt said the beach area at Cornet Bay will change to a more natural look in the coming weeks in hopes of discour-aging the geese from staying in the area.

Residents in some recently built homes in Coupeville have been jarred by flyovers by jets from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

The town has been field-ing complaints from residents around Parker Road on the northwest side of town about low-flying jets in the area.

Mayor Nancy Conard said during last Tuesday’s Town Council meeting that the number of flyovers over the town seems to have been

compressed. Navy pilots generally fly

near Coupeville on their way south to Outlying Field where they conduct touch-and-go landings in preparation for deployments on carriers.

Kim Martin, spokeswoman for Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, said the flight opera-tions in and around NAS Whidbey Island and Outlying Field are conducted to ensure squadrons meet training and fleet requirements.

“We understand that local residents living in the area

are affected by jets flying in the authorized flight pattern as well as transiting into and out of those patterns,” Martin said in an email. “Every noise complaint call is tracked, mapped and discussed with command leadership to ensure flights have been con-ducted in accordance with the local air operations guidelines and FAA guidelines.”

Martin added in an inter-view that flight patterns around the training field haven’t changed.

Conard noted during the

meeting that the complaints are coming from families who moved to Coupeville within the last four to eight years. They signed a disclosure statement about the flyovers when they purchased their homes, but apparently hear-ing the planes was a different matter.

“They didn’t realize it was as bad as it was,” Conard said during the meeting. She said the town is loaning sev-eral families decibel meters to help them document noise levels.

Martin said operations at Outlying Field, just a few miles from Coupeville, are extreme-ly important as pilots transi-tion from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler.

“The volume of training at Outlying Field is based on current operations require-ment and is necessary for aircrews to attain and main-tain proficiency to ensure safe operations for upcoming ship-board deployments,” Martin said in the email.

She added Navy officials talk to local officials regularly

about aircraft noise and talk to residents at public events about the issue.

Residents concerned about Navy jets flying over their homes can call the base’s Operations Duty Office at 360-257-2681. That’s where their complaint will be docu-mented along with a time and location, Martin said.

Martin noted that flight operations at Outlying Field will be reduced for a couple of weeks next month when the runway will undergo routine maintenance and repair.

Navy flyovers shake new Coupeville residents

The Oak Harbor police department, City Hall and the ICOM dispatch center were evacuated for about an hour and a half Monday after a man brought a suspected bomb to the police.

Lt. Tim Sterkel, the acting police chief, said a man found an object that looks like a pipe bomb at the Monroe Landing beach. It was a three-inch, double-threaded pipe with the ends screwed on and what appeared to be a fuse attached.

The man picked up the suspected bomb, put it in his car and drove to the police station to report it.

Sterkel said the man had parked his car next to a propane tank, so the police immediately evacuated the nearby buildings. The 911 calls were routed to Skagit dispatch and the police set up a command center in a differ-ent parking lot.

Sterkel said Navy Explosive

Ordnance Detachment was called in to deal with the potential explosive devise. Judging from the EOD’s response, the pipe probably wasn’t a bomb.

“It must not have been a big deal because the guy just

picked it up and brought it with him,” Sterkel said, add-ing that the man wasn’t outfit-ted in any protective gear.

Sterkel said EOD will prob-ably send the police a report explaining what the device was.

The Oak Harbor School District has taken advan-tage of favorable interest rates to refinance its 2006 voter-approved bonds used to build Oak Harbor High School.

The package will save $600,418 over the next 10 years, according to the bond underwriter D.A. Davidson & Company of Seattle.

Whidbey Island Bank was one of the largest buyers of the bonds, investing $3.2 million into the nearly $9 million bond package. Skagit State Bank also purchased a

portion of the bonds. Record low interest rates at the time were at 2.02 percent.

“We’ve been watching fall-ing interest rates for months now, waiting to make a move when the time was right,” said Superintendent Rick Schulte in a press release. “This means $600,000 in savings passed on to the community through lower property taxes collected on these bonds.”

The district’s high “Aa3” underlying rating on the bonds by Moody’s Investors Service also contributed to the success of the sale, David Trageser, senior vice

president of D.A. Davidson and Company, said in a press release. “This is directly attributable to pru-dent financial management of the school district.”

Moody’s financial analy-sis cited manageable debt levels, stable employment, a diverse tax base and com-munity support as positive credit factors supporting the rating. The bonds also car-ried an enhanced rating by Moody’s of “Aa1” because the bonds were sold using the State School District Guarantee Program.

Schulte pointed out that it’s no coincidence that local

banks stepped up to be a part of this refinancing pack-age.

“This illustrates the point about community sup-port,” he said. “We deeply appreciate Whidbey Island Bank being a partner in this transaction, which benefits the schools and the com-munity.”

The school board gave its approval for refinancing the bonds in February, setting a goal of interest rates at 3.5 percent or lower. The favor-able Moody’s report, along with careful timing, made the lower interest rate pos-sible, Trageser said.

Theresa Trebon, tribal archivist for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, has also examined the piece but doesn’t believe it’s from any Northwest tribes or is Native American at all.

She did some work for Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve years ago and actually examined the same carving in 1998 for Pawley. She has examined thousands of other Whidbey artifacts as well and nothing looked even remotely like it, she said.

“There is a real distinc-tive Native American signa-ture and I just don’t see it on this,” she said.

Trebon does have a the-ory, however. She said she recently visited Hawaii and thinks the face better rep-resents the stone-carving styles of Polynesians.

The theory is not as far fetched as it sounds.

Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, some-times referred to in history as “Kanakas,” were often employed on merchant and whaling ships in the 1800s.

They had such a pres-ence in the Northwest that their heritage is still evident today, hence the cities of Kalama and Friday Harbor, both of which are named after Native Hawaiian men.

Given that Port Townsend was an international port, it’s entirely possible the stone was carved by a long ago sailor and then tossed or lost in the lagoon.

Castellano said the jury is still out and hopes addi-tional research will yield more answers about the carving’s mysterious past. However, he said there is small part of him that hopes to never find out just where it came from.

“It’s one of those things; do I really want to have the answer?” he said. “It would take all the romance out of it.”

Four Bothell men were cited and their boat was confiscated when they were found with too many crab in the Baby Island area of Holmes Harbor July 23.

Mike Cenci, deputy chief of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said Thursday that two officers were patrolling the area in the daytime incident.

The officers questioned the men in the boat about how many crab they had, and they answered 22. That in itself would have been a viola-tion, because the Dungeness crab limit is five per person.

Officers checked the men’s credentials and found only three possessed shellfish licenses. A check of three coolers in the vessel showed

they were “jam packed” with crab, Cenci said, obviously far in excess of the limit. The men had parked their gray Humvee in the Holmes Harbor parking area, and it contained 30 crab.

The final tally showed 83 Dungeness crab, including three illegal females and three others smaller than the legal size. But the rest were legal-sized males. “They had some really nice crab in their possession,” Cenci said.

The men were fishing with eight crab pots, two over the limit since one did not have a license. And the buoys were not marked, which is another violation. “It’s a decent strat-egy if you don’t want to be caught poaching crab,” Cenci remarked.

The men now face gross misdemeanor charges of

unlawful recreational fishing in the first degree. The maxi-mum penalty is a $5,000 fine and a year in jail, plus pos-sible forfeiture of their boat and fishing gear. Cenci said names are not released until suspects are found guilty.

Cenci said it’s not known if the men were robbing other

people’s crab pots, which is a frequent complaint during recreational crabbing sea-son.

This may not be a great year for crabbers, but Cenci said the number of violations is up. “The compliance rate in the recreational crab fish-ery seems to be poorer than last year.” Figures are not calculated until the end of the season when the number of contacts is compared to the number of violations.

There are, however, more crab in Holmes Harbor than there would have been had the men gotten away with their crime.

“We got them before they were cooked so we returned them to the water alive,” Cenci said.

Four men cited for exceeding crab limit“it’s a decent strategy�if�you�don’t�want�to�be�caught�poaching�crab.”

Finishes 35th in Grand PrixBy JIM WALLERSports editor

Whidbey Island native Adrienne Lyle finished 35th in the dressage Grand Prix at the London Olympics Friday, Aug. 3.

Lyle, 27, aboard Wizard, finished with a score of 69.468. Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin led the field of 50 with an 83.663.

Lyle, who was born in Coupeville, grew up on South Whidbey and graduated from Bellevue High School, now lives in Ketchum, Idaho, where she trains horses and riders.

Dressage is often called “horse ballet” or the equiva-lent of gymnastic’s floor exer-cise on horseback. The horse and rider execute a series of moves that make the horse look like it is dancing and are rated by a panel of judges on a scale of 0 to 10.

At the Olympics, the top

11 riders and seven teams advance to Grand Prix Special Tuesday, Aug. 7, to decide the team medals. The United States is fifth after the Grand Prix. Team scores are the average of the top three riders from the coun-try. Lyle was fourth out of four Americans. Teammate Steffen Peters (Ravel) was sixth at 77.705, Tina Konyot (Calecto V) 27th at 70.456 and Jan Ebeling (Rafalca)

30th at 70.243.The United States is one

of only five countries which qualified both a team of three and an individual for the Grand Prix.

Lyle, one of three USA Olympic rookies in the dres-sage, said before the games she “is living every little girl’s dream.” She added, in an interview for Dressage-news.com, “I want to be able to just take it all in. This is so much more than just a horse show. No one can ever take away from you this experience that transcends everything else.”

At 27, Lyle is young for an Olympic equestrian where many of her competitors are twice her age. Her teammates are 53, 50 and 47. Peters is the only Olympic veteran, qualifying twice.

As a teenager, Lyle joined a local pony club and com-peted in eventing before changing to dressage. She earned berths on teams that medaled at the 2002 North American Junior Dressage Championships and the 2004 North American Young

Rider’s Championships.Lyle began her horse-

training career seven years ago when her parents, Greg and Ann Lyle of Clinton, purchased a condominium in Ketchum. There she began training with Debbie McDonald, a former world champion and Olympic medal winner, and Wizard in 2006.

She and Wizard first came into prominence when they won the Brentina Cup and National Intermediate I championship in 2008, and then in 2009 they captured the freestyle at the Collecting Gaits/USEF Dressage Fes-tival of Champions.

The pair competed in Europe in 2010 and the Florida circuit in 2011 and at one point won three consecu-tive Grand Prix titles.

“My journey over the past seven years…when I first met Wizard has been incredible,” Lyle told Dressage-news. “The Thomases (owners of Wizard) and McDonalds have given me more than I ever could have hoped for.

Letters to the editor

iN oUr oPiNioNPrimary vote is important

Word is out from the auditor’s office that voter turnout is low this year, as measured by the number of mail-in bal-lots returned to date by Island County voters.

Apparently, many ballots mailed out three weeks ago are still sitting around the house, perhaps on the kitchen table, on the mantle or on top of the refrigerator.

True, this isn’t the time one traditionally thinks of voting in a primary election. The sun is finally shining, the beaches are calling, the ferry lines are interminable. Voting is something we usually associate with the start of school, autumn or when there are still a few pieces of Halloween candy to be found under the couch.

Due to legislative action, meant in part to make it easier for military forces overseas to vote, this is the earliest primary ever held in Washington state. But this doesn’t mean it’s not important.

In Island County, for example, emergency services is depending on voters to continue its levy so the ambu-lances can keep operating as needed, night and day. There are very competitive races for Island County com-missioner in both District 1, covering South and Central Whidbey, and District 2, covering the Oak Harbor area. Only the top two-voters in each district will advance to the general election in November, so it’s important to pick the right ones.

One danger of low voter turnout is that only the “true believers” in each major party take the trouble to vote, tending to support the more extreme candidates on each side. It’s extremely important that everyone vote so the majority in the middle can assure that the choices in November are candidates who are sensible and reason-able, not extreme, regardless of their party affiliation.

People always complain about their elected officials, but often don’t bother to do their part is making sure we have the best elected officials possible. The only way to do that is by participating in the democratic process by casting your ballot.

So regardless of the timing, blow the dust off your pri-mary ballot, open the envelope, mark your choices and make sure it’s postmarked no later than next Tuesday, Aug. 7. If you don’t, you’ll have no right to complain about the outcome.

Ambulance�user�gets�good�care

In the nine years I’ve lived here, I have done the emer-gency run at least four times. It’s high drama, but too real when it’s me! If I’m going to be the star of that show, I want it to be first class.

At a minimum, I want:1. Speedy arrival after I

call 9-1-1.2. To be treated with

dignity, even when I’m in a most undignified position. They don’t laugh, they don’t patronize and at least one woman is on the team.

3. Tender care when I’m in distress. Tough decision-making when the situation is tense.

4. Keep cool, drive safely, team support from emer-gency doctor and the hos-pital ER.

5. Caring attention during

the 30-minute drive from my home to the hospital.

To regularly deliver such basics under stress is normal for our EMTs and paramedics. They are a well-oiled team, long experienced working together — some for 25 years or more. And while they work with me, oth-ers are jockeying to planned locations to give ambulance coverage elsewhere while mine is in action. On our sprawling two-lane island, such synchronization is essential — and we get it 24 hours a day.

In the last “Pulse” hospital report, on page 6, you get a full picture of costs it takes to support the whole sys-tem and a bar chart show-ing increasing demand for services each year for the last 11 years. The number of calls goes up each year, but income from the tax levy remains the same each six

years. It takes careful man-agement to be able to regu-larly pull that off.

I want all of us to continue to have this quality of ser-vice every day.

Please vote yes for the tax levy to continue at the same amount.

Mail-in�ballots� are�just�fine

Why the cynical tone in your opinion (“It’s that time of year again,” July 25).

I happen to prefer the vote-by-mail option. It gives me time to actually sit down and read the full ballot and really consider how I want to vote. I’m a regular Whidbey News-Times reader, but there always seems to be a measure on the ballot that I’m not totally informed about. If I have my ballot

before me and access to valid information (via the Internet, the library, etc.), I can make better informed choices.

What about those people who take long commutes to work, go on short detach-ments for the Navy, or who otherwise find themselves heavily involved on that one voting day? The world is changing; we aren’t all in one place at one time anymore.

Sure, there are kinks that can be worked out (the Oregon model seems like a good idea), but to go back to the old way because it’s always been done that way?

We have enough whining in the world today. What we need are open minds and good ideas to make things better. Fill out your ballot and take it to the ballot box in front of city hall. You’ll save a postage stamp.

By Thomas sTrang

I find myself compelled to respond to two previously pub-lished Sound Off columns, one published July 4 and the other July 18.

Beginning with the July 4 column, the writer was lament-ing the lack of Don Quixotes in government service. Pardon me, but how about our Republican, Tea Party Third District County Commissioner Don Quixote? How well has this Don Quixote served us in Island County?

As for state and federal gov-ernments, for Pete’s sake, if it were not for the numerous Don Quixotes running loose like a herd of cats, our state Legislature and

Congress might pass as function-ing legislative bodies. Just maybe the Don Quixote behavior is the problem rather than the solution.

With regards to the July 18 column, I sense an alarming lack of trust in our political system of electing our public servants. The letter writer suggests that our elected public servants and those running for public office are less intelligent today than in years past. Are they really? The letter writer continues on to suggest that we need people in public office that address our public problems in a realistic manner. How should

someone in public office address problems realistically? Just how does one define what is realistic, or is reality one’s individual percep-tion of reality? If that is true, then whose perception of reality should determine the direction of this great nation? “Catch 22” situation here on the order of what came first, the chicken or the egg?

I have been reminded many times, be careful of what you ask for! I offer the following examples of possible realistic solutions to so-called public difficulties that require attention or solutions that some folks might consider realistic while others may not.

• Public safety — buy a big gun.• Traffic safety — buy a big

truck.

• Lower the price of gasoline — buy about 3 feet of half-inch hose and learn not to swallow.

• Lower taxes — don’t buy unnecessary stuff.

• Improve public education — replace the electronic gadgets with a pencil and open a book while wearing a school uniform.

• Improve medical care — find a 7-year-old playing doctor, but make sure he or she doesn’t have a lem-onade stand as a side business.

Putting humor aside for a moment, if we believe in chasing windmills or that our elected public servant are less than intelligent, please consider the fact that the majority of folks that make the effort to vote place our public ser-vants in office. To paraphrase the

astute philosopher Pogo, I see the problem and the problem is I.

This is a republic of the people, by the people and for the people which suggests solving our nation’s difficulties rests with us, its people, not waiting for some mystical leader to show up and save us from ourselves. If we the people who vote with the majority are the problem, suggests that we should be the solution.

In November we have another chance, then again some folks would say a last chance to get it right or at least get our ships of state headed in a corrected direc-tion. My last question is, will we?

A blight at the Greenbank Farm

In shop class, when I was a kid, we were taught to mea-sure twice before cutting that board. Yes, I had to learn that lesson a couple of times more before it sank in, but now I think about it every time! The same can be said about planning ahead. I do believe in renewable energy and resources, and I am a firm believer in recycling; but everything has its place. Solar panels look fine on rooftops, industrial settings, on school or municipal build-ings. In pastures, on historic farms — not!

I could hardly believe my eyes, as I re-read for the second and third time, the article about Greenbank Farm and its solar project. I remember very well the energy crisis of the 1970s, when everyone and his brother went solar. Solar pan-els, solar boxes, solar rooms, water heaters, swimming pool heaters, etc., etc. So where are they today? Now, I read that the most sophisti-cated system ever, built in the desert where there are over 300 days of sun, may not be as profitable as envisioned. I almost wrote months ago to warn about constructing an untested solar experiment at Greenbank Farm; and then they came, the ugly black panels taking form like a blight on the landscape. Gone for my lifetime is the pleasing, pastoral landscape that was once Greenbank Farm; and why was the farm rescued in the first place, to protect the lands from the ravages of development? OMG! or as

Pogo once said, “The enemy is us.”

For six years, I have driven once or twice a week from the Bayview area to traverse the fields with my dog, much as I did back east in my youth. What a treat to pull in front of the big red barns and walk those wonderful fields. Often we would grab a quick bite for lunch, or sneak in an afternoon piece of pie; or pick up a bottle of wine and some cheese before going home, but the atmosphere has changed and it’s differ-ent. Now, I pass by the main drive and go to the pull-off further up 525, and begin my walk from the other side just to avoid the jolt of those hor-rible black panels.

Now, for the rest of the story. I have had to read carefully the details of the finances of this money-mak-ing enterprise; and when does it break even, and when does it make money, and I missed the stated lifespan of the panels, and who gets the opportunity to buy it at the end of its lifetime. As a wise congressperson said, “We have to pass it to see what’s in it.” The way it looks to me, the private investors get their profits before the “port” gets anything. Does that sound like Solyndra, anyone? As far as I can see, the only people making any money on this deal are the installers, and they will be long gone when the questions are asked years from now. Beware the gov-ernmental business complex! If I could, I would tear out everything right now, and chalk it up as a bad experi-ment; but I know it’s too late and at least I have had my say. Shame on me for not speaking sooner!

So what will I do? Well, I’ll park up the road, put on my blinders, and try to enjoy what’s left of wonderful Greenbank Farm. And when

the weakened winter sun skims the horizon, the rains come, and when the clouds block the sun for days on end, I’ll wonder whose idea was this anyway. I do hope it makes money, but will it all be really worth it in the long run?

Founders left out corporations

As interesting as the concept that corporations (artificial beings) have the same rights as human beings under the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, there is noth-ing in either writing that sup-ports or even infers that cor-porations have equal human rights as those specifically directed to humans (“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”).

At the time these docu-ments were prepared, there were giant corporations in and near the colonies that received royal charters from the kings and queens of the various European countries providing specific freedoms to them above and beyond the freedoms given to the people. The Hudson Bay Company is an example.The founding fathers were ada-mant that these royal charter organizations be excluded from the natural rights of the people.

In other words, regarding human rights and freedom there was to be nothing and no one limiting those human right freedoms. Be assured that corporations and all kinds of “power people,” those driven to use their pow-ers completely independent of all, will of course use the “human rights” concept to achieve their goals.

credit union doors hard on disabled

I am a disabled member of Navy Federal Credit Union. Their building is very difficult for me to enter. I went to NFCU on July 19 to cash a check. I had to go inside the bank to do my business. No employee of NFCU opened the doors for me! The person whose job is to help open the doors only sat at her desk and watched. She neither got up to open when I entered nor when I left. I had to use my feet to push the doors open.

While leaving, my caregiv-er complained to the so-called door opener about the doors. She stated there have been many complaints about the doors, but they are ADA com-pliant. So they’re ADA compli-ant? That doesn’t change the fact the weight of the doors don’t pull me out of my wheel-chair when I try opening the two glass doors! I don’t want to think what could happen if my feet broke through the glass while pushing it open to exit the building!

I had to return later using my electric cart. I could not hold the door to open it while backing up! The door handle kept slipping out of my grip. The previously mentioned employee only sat at her desk and watched. Another member was kind enough to help. No one can guarantee there will always be another member having to enter each time I go there!

There is only one solution to this problem! It is called automatic door openers!

More Mother Mentors needed

The June 20 Mother Mentors Summer Solstice Breakfast was a big suc-

cess. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to all the people who helped us. Many volunteered their time cooking, setting up and serv-ing. Others donated baked goods or provided live music, or brought flowers. The list goes on and on. You are all wonderful, thank you!

Mother Mentors of Whidbey Island is now well established as a local non-profit organization with volun-teers who will regularly visit a family with children ages birth to 5. Volunteer mentors provide in-home practical and emotional support to moth-ers of young children (dads too) once or twice a week for a period of a few months.

Do you know a young fam-ily who could use some extra support? Adding a new baby is a joy but also a challenge. Adding a second or third child may be even more of a chal-lenge. We know that all par-ents with young children need all the support available. And, we know that parents who are well supported are best able to bond with their infants and young children.

Volunteer mentors can visit a family and do the laundry, play with the toddler while mom is with her new baby, hold the baby while mom takes a shower, or share a cup of tea and some adult conver-sation. We can help identify community resources for par-ticular needs. Our role is to offer support to the parents so they can be the best parent possible.

Do you have a few extra hours to help out a family with young children? This is an ideal volunteer activity for those who are gone for parts of the year; we ask for time commitments of only a few months at a time.

All volunteers must attend a three and one-half hour training and have background checks. The next volunteer

training for Mother Mentors will be happening in the fall in Coupeville and Langley.

Attending a training ses-sion is the best way to find out what it means to be a Mother Mentor. Even if you do not want to be a mentor, but want to volunteer with us in other ways, such as PR and outreach, your first step is to attend the training session. We are looking for volunteers to assist us with a website, PR development and community outreach.

Please help us spread the word. Leave a voice mes-sage at 360-321-1484, or email [email protected] to register for training or for information. Information gatherings are offered the sec-ond Monday of each month from 11:30 a.m. to noon in the back room of South Whidbey Commons coffee house; all are welcome.

Not running a business

After attending four can-didates’ forums in the past two weeks, one thing is clear; most of the “challengers” believe the county should be run like a business.

Government is not a busi-ness! It is designed to provide services that “business” is either unable or unwilling to provide. Business has a profit motive. Government has a service motive.

The two county commis-sioners, Homola and Price Johnson, have done the best job possible to balance the budget and provide the ser-vices mandated by law in light of the present fiscal chal-lenges. I’m voting to retain them in office.

Help�shape�Washington�State�Ferries�policy

A three-year plan to study and identify which plants with non-invasive root sys-tems are appropriate for planting on drain fields in Island County will soon be moving from the plan-ning to the planting stage at Greenbank Farm.

A group led by Master Gardener Marcia Nelson will have two test drain fields constructed, each 6 feet wide and 20 feet long, along the entry to the Greenbank Farm, adjacent to the caretaker cottage and the southern end of the Master Gardener Educational Display Garden. One will be an in-ground system, the other a mound system. These will simulate actual drainfield conditions.

Over a three-year period, various plants suitable to the Whidbey Island climate and soil and moisture condi-tions will be tested on the

two mock drain fields that represent the most common types used on the island. At the end of the test period, the plants will be partially dug out in order to measure the depth of their roots. This will determine which plants have infiltrated the distribu-tion system.

Plants to be tested have been selected by Master Gardeners with the advice of Dr. Carol Miles, WSU Northwest Washington Research and Extension Center, from a list of plants already being used by Island County Master Gardeners on their drain fields. The Whidbey Island Garden Tour has donated $1,300 toward the purchase of the selected plants.

A holding tank filled with water and liquid fer-tilizer will stand in for the normal effluent found in a drain field and the sys-

tem flow will be metered by a computerized control-ler. Jerry Stonebridge of Stonebridge Environmental Construction in Freeland is donating his labor and design expertise to the proj-ect. Construction materials have been donated by Krieg Construction, Norwest Concrete and Mailliard’s Landing Nursery, all of Oak Harbor, as well as Orenco Systems, Sutherlin, Ore. and HD Fowler of Bellingham.

The goal at the end of three years is to publish a brochure to be made avail-able on the Island County WSU website and to be cir-culated by the Island County Department of Health and Planning Board, septic sys-tem installers, nurseries and Island County Master Gardeners. The brochure will advocate the best plants for use in drain fields.

Whidbey

By JIM WALLERSports editor

Behind a handful of strong individual performances, the North Whidbey Aquatic Club placed 12th at the 50-team Pacific Northwest Swim Championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way July 26 to 29.

Federal Way’s King Aquatic Club won the team title with 5,356 points; NWAC earned 769 in a meet that fea-tured Western Washington’s top 1,000 swimmers.

NWAC coach Neil Romney said, “We had a great meet; it was very pleasing to see.”

Romney said his Aquajets recorded 80 percent personal records in the finals, the best percentage in the history of the program. He added, “We were lucky if we got 50 per-cent in the past.”

Romney said his team “rose to the level of the com-petition” as the Aquajets also posted their best-ever PR effort (93 percent) in the

relays.In addition, NWAC swam

to 70 percent PRs in the pre-lims.

Romney was particularly pleased that on Sunday night, the last session of the fourth day “when many athletes are tired and lagging,” his team recorded 100 percent person-al records in relays and 91 percent in individual events.

Olivia Tungate, 11, one of youngest swimmers in the 11/12 division, reached the finals in all eight of her swims and clocked PRs in all eight preliminaries and six finals. She finished third in two events and earned national-level times in five. Her times in the two third-place fin-ishes (400 individual medley, 5:35.26; 200 butterfly, 2:36.5) are the eighth and ninth best, respectively, in the nation.

These efforts earned her the NWAC Swimmer of the Meet award.

“Pound for pound,” Romney said, “you are not going to find as strong a

swimmer. It was as strong a meet performance as I have seen.”

Kelly Huffer won the 11/12 1,500 (18:54.38) and swam 100 percent PRs in

eight events.Taliah Black finished sec-

ond in the 50 breaststroke (38.26) with a “dramatic improvement,” according to Romney. She finished ahead of many girls who entered the meet with better qualify-ing times.

Tungate, Huffer and Black joined Jillian Pape to grab four top-eight finishes in relays, including a third in the 400 medley while smashing the team record by 12 seconds (5:05.89). They set three other team records (fourth, 400 free, 4:33.65; fourth, 200 free, 2:04.63; sixth, 200 medley, 2:20.04) and won the NWAC BigRelay honor.

Laura Rosen finished third in the 200 freestyle while reaching the finals in each of her races. Along the way she recorded 100 percent PRs and one national-qualifying time (200 fly, 2:18.74).

Romney said it is difficult for Rosen to PR because “she has been swimming at such a

high level for so long.”NWAC veteran Ciara Hu

placed fifth in the 200 but-terfly.

Other top eight finish-es were scored by Jerrin Concepcion and Kenneth Morrow.

Also scoring team points were Emily Huffer, Price Hu, Josh Jepsen, Marissa Morris, Bruce Vagt, Molly Vagt and Cole Weinstein.

Team records were set by Kelly Huffer, Emily Huffer, Morrow, Rosen and Ciara Hu, as well as the girls 11/12 relay team.

Posting 100 percent PRs in finals were Black, Kelly Huffer, Morris, Rosen, Tungate and Molly Vagt.

In the prelims, 100 percent PRs came from Black, Kelly Huffer, Michael Johnson, Tungate, Brett Vagt, Bruce Vagt and Molly Vagt.

In the relays, Taliah Black, Concepcion, Kelly Huffer, Price Hu, Pape, Tungate, Brett Vagt, Weinstein, Jepsen

and Lawrence Zapanta clocked 100 percent PRs.

In the high-point race, Rosen finished third in her division, Kelly Huffer fourth, Ciara Hu fifth and Tungate sixth.

Other highlights: national top-25 times, Tungate, Kelly Huffer; zone time, Tungate; senior sectionals, Kelly Huffer, Jepsen, Weinstein; scholastic all-America, Ciara Hu; and winter junior nation-als, Rosen.

sports in brief

Ogle celebrates after long life of farming, logging

Wilson Herbert Ogle was born on Aug. 5, 1912 on a homestead at Del Rio, Wash., and will celebrate his 100th birthday tomor-row in Oak Harbor.

Del Rio is now under water behind the Grand Coulee Dam. From there, his family moved to Missouri and then to South

Dakota. In the spring of 1935,

the family moved back to Washington and settled in Buckley where Herb went to work on the Lappenbush farm followed by other farm jobs in Heartline and Wenatchee.

Herb married Mildred Pace, who came out from Missouri. They were wed Oct. 28, 1935 in Wenatchee. They returned to Buckley that same winter and Herb purchased 80 acres of tim-ber west of Buckley on the

old Lake Tappa highway. It was there that Herb

began his career as a log-ger. They logged it with horses, hauling the logs to Ortig and Puyallup on their 1935 Chevy flatbed truck.

After a long career in log-ging, Herb retired in 1980 after 45 years of cutting. Amazingly, Herb retired without any serious acci-

dents. Herb loved the work and

misses it.Herb now resides at

Regency on Whidbey. Herb has received a 100th birth-day greeting from President Obama and looks forward to celebrating his centen-nial birthday with close friends and family.

Wilson Herbert Ogle turns 100 on Sunday

Wilson Herbert Ogle celebrates his 100th birthday Sunday.

A team riding bikes to raise awareness for cancer stopped Wednesday in Oak Harbor on their journey from Baltimore to Seattle.

Lori Shulock hosted the team Aug. 1 to support her niece, Lindsay Shulock, who is taking part in the ride.

The 4K for Cancer is a program of the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. Since 2001, groups of college students have under-taken a 70-day, 4,000-mile summer bike ride across the United States with the goal of offering hope, inspiration and support to communities along the way.

Lindsay Shulock, a soph-

omore at Suffolk County Community College and part of Team Seattle, was deeply affected when a fel-low student died from leuke-mia at age 14.

“You could hear a pin drop in the hallways of school for

a week. It hurt me to see the pain on my friends’ faces,” Shulock said in her bio on the 4K for Cancer website.

When Shulock heard about Relay for Life, which raises funds for cancer research, she immediately joined in, helping to raise money through bake sales and car washes. When a friend participated in the 4K for Cancer last year, Shulock decided to join in.

“It’s about being a positive effect on people’s lives along the way. It’s about support-

ing this cause that is bigger than you. It’s about donat-ing your time and gathering your strength in order to raise $4,500 and then com-mitting yourself physically, mentally and emotionally again for 70 days to go on this life changing journey,” Shulock said. “Cancer is a cause that needs support-ing and I would be proud to spend my time helping those in need.”

This is like no production the Whidbey Playhouse has done before. Cutting edge, lively and witty, “Five Women Wearing the Same Dress” offers a peek into the lives of five very different women.

All wearing the same carrot-colored bridesmaid dresses replete with bows and frills and hats so flowery even their grandmothers would scoff at them, five completely differ-ent bridesmaids discover they may have a thing or two in common as they escape the

wedding reception.The play was written by Alan

Ball, who won an Oscar for his work in the movie “American Beauty.” He also created the TV shows “Six Feet Under” and “True Blood.”

Meredith, played by Keziah Benson, resents her sister’s wedding, complete with her $6 million dress and new husband who follows her around like a puppy. Eager for something — anything — to go wrong at the wedding reception but exhausted by the “bland leading the bland,” she hides in her bedroom and is joined by the four other

bridesmaids as they escape the reception for their own reasons.

From the moment Georgeanne, played by Shealyn Christie, bursts through the bedroom door in tears, it’s constant drama and humor, all drawled in Southern accents.

Sweet, Southern Christian girl Frances, played by Katherine Arguelles, is out of place — but no less amusing — when surrounded by Trisha, played by Tina Mellum, who has enjoyed her share of men, and Georgeanne, whose mar-riage is in shambles, leaving her to pursue the legendary Tommy Valentine, who has expressed interest in every one of the bridesmaids, includ-ing Mindy, played by Tara Hizon, the groom’s lesbian, wise-cracking sister.

As the women talk about everything from lost loves to how marriage fits into the modern world to throwing up, the witticisms and one-liners bring a lightheartedness to the women’s deeper prob-lems, even as darker secrets from their pasts surface.

“It’s a fun show. It pushes the envelope a lot for here,” said Suzanne Maris, director. The show is for mature audi-ences ages 16 and older.

Maris suggested this play because she didn’t want the Playhouse to continue doing the same types of plays. Last year, Maris directed “Talking With,” a series of edgy mono-logues. She has been involved in the Playhouse since age 16 and stage managed her first

show at 17.While “Five Women” isn’t

for everybody, Maris said, “I think it’s going to bring new people in…. Any time we can bring new people in who get excited about live theater is a good thing.”

The cast has been rehears-ing since early June.

“I think he (Alan Ball) writes good people and so I set out to find people who were in some ways very similar to the char-acters,” Maris said, adding that as good as Ball wrote the characters, how that comes across on stage is dependent on the people who play them.

“They are all kind of a little piece of them and it’s exciting to watch them all build them,” Maris said.

ISLAND LIVINGWhidbey

It has been almost six years since my dad passed away from metastasized pancreatic cancer. That fact does not weigh heavily on me as a daughter or us as a family everyday. In fact, there are short stretches of time when

life captures our attention to such a degree that we no longer mentally insert him into our pres-ent story. Life engages us and we press for-ward. We remain active in the here and now.

Most of the time, when Dad comes to mind, we consider what he might say about our present circumstances or ways we believe he would help were he here. We enjoy a laugh about the things he did and said because he was earnest and engaged, smart and generous and delightfully quirky.

There are occasional moments when the longing we have for him and the brutal fact that he is no longer here roll over us like a wave of cold water. This happens to me most often when I observe the people in my life thriving. As I watch them, feeling pride and wonder, I must also accept the fact that he is not beside me, watching with equal amaze-ment and expressing it to me. Today I accept the fact that joy is never untouched by sor-row. They blend. So I smile and refuse to feel embarrassed by my happy tears. I embrace the swell of joy and remind myself to keep breath-ing.

That intense mixture subsides in a few moments, especially when I ask God to draw near. To carry some of the burden loss heaps on me. Then I thank God for the faith that Dad no longer bears the worries of this world and thrives in heaven beyond.

I am able to respond in these ways for three important reasons. First, I mourned effectively when he died. To do so is arduous and pro-found. It requires you to face an onslaught of raw and painful emotions, while demanding that you make changes in your everyday life because your loved one is no longer present.

Second, I said everything I hoped to say to my dad. While some of those conversations were terribly difficult, I forced myself to have them. I also recall very physical responses. My heart raced at moments. I had to stop and collect myself at times. I sometimes felt light-headed. It was stressful.

Most importantly, Dad gifted us with love, demonstrated in a thousand ways. He created a legacy — a bank, so to speak, filled with con-versations and ideas, memories and phrases, that not only bring us comfort but inspire us in our daily lives. That’s what a life well lived does: it fuels the living.

Dad’s last sentence to me was a gift, in the form of a lesson: Your love sustains me. In the years since, his words have powered great lessons about the nature of love. The way love fosters, confirms and preserves; how it feeds, nurtures and validates. In the coming weeks I’ll share what I’m learning about the diverse nature of love and the wonders it works.

The Whidbey Playhouse will teach all you need to know about stagecraft at a workshop Aug. 19 to 25.

About 12 participants will spend five days learn-ing about stagecraft and how it is used in commu-nity theaters. Each day will introduce a new topic with approximately two hours of instruction at the Playhouse

starting at 9 a.m. Four to five hours each day will be spent in hands-on, practical instruction at various ven-ues. The effort from this workshop will help support the 2012-13 Playhouse pro-duction season.

Topics include set design and construction, scenic painting, costuming, lighting and sound, time permitting.

Students who have an interest in the performing arts and would like to learn more about how to stage a production and volunteers at the Playhouse who want

to learn more about what goes on before a produc-tion and behind the scenes during the run of a play are welcome to attend.

There is no charge for this workshop but advanced signup is required by Tuesday, Aug. 7. Class size is limited.

For more information or to sign up, contact the Whidbey Playhouse at [email protected] or 679-2237 or visit whidbey playhouse.com.

Playhouse teaches stagecraft

Rebecca olson / Whidbey News-Times

Meredith, played by Keziah Benson, laments the blandness of her sister’s wedding reception and hopes something — anything — will go wrong at the reception as she reconnects with fellow bridesmaid Trisha, played by Tina Mellum.

The ease with which Benson slipped into the rebellious character of Meredith belied the fact that “she’s the exact opposite of me,” Benson said.

“It’s fun to have an excuse to cuss,” she laughed. What Benson can relate to with Meredith is having a story in her past.

Playing Meredith was “very interesting, very cool. I like that there’s more to her than meets the eye, like what’s in her past,” Benson said.

This is her third show onstage at the Playhouse, but she’s been in love with acting since age 6. Acting is how she met her husband, who is in the Navy, which brought her to Oak Harbor.

“I really think people will love it,” Benson said of the play, adding that people should be open-minded while watching it.

For Christie, playing Georgeanne is liberating.

“She’s not as shy as I am in real life so it’s one place I can be confident,” Christie said. She has been involved in theater since high school.

Hizon also enjoys play-ing a character who she can relate to and also learn from.

“I like that she doesn’t take herself real seriously. I wish I was more like that,” Hizon said with a laugh. Hizon has been active at the Playhouse for 20 years and played a number of roles onstage, as well as produced a show. She is a member of the Oak Harbor City Council.

Melum has been involved at the Playhouse since 1979.

“We’re kinda mother hens but then we’re just crazy and

wild, too,” Melum said of herself and Trisha. “We care for other people but then we’re wild and crazy gals.”

Arguelles moved from Texas to Oak Harbor two years ago. She was involved in theater throughout high school and has done one other play at the Playhouse.

Despite conversations about various men, only one man appears onstage in the play: Tripp, played by Allen Peter, who has served in the Navy for more than 10

years. Both easy-going guys,

Peter said it wasn’t hard to relate to his character. This play was his first time onstage.

“You gotta always try something once,” Peter said.

Hizon said she’s proud of Maris for taking the risk to put on this play.

“I hope people turn out and try something new. Come and enjoy live theater for an evening,” Maris said.

Claud Linn and Bonnie Yadon were married June 9, 2012 at the First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor. They attend The Bridge Christian Fellowship Church in Oak Harbor.

Son of Omer and Lois Linn, Claud Linn was born and raised in Miami, Okla. He has lived in Oak Harbor for 35 years, raised five boys and has six grandchildren. He has been co-owner of King’s Men Construction of Oak Harbor for the past 32 years and is a member of the Oak Harbor Rotary.

Daughter of Leo and Lillian Yadon, Bonnie Yadon was born and raised in Palmer, Alaska. She raised four boys in Alaska and has seven grandchildren, all of whom reside in Alaska. She moved to Oak Harbor in 2001 and has been in bank-ing for 22 years. She is a new employee of Peoples Bank.

Claud and Bonnie start-ed their friendship in 2011 when he picked her up for church every Sunday. After

a wonderful courtship they realized they had fallen in love. Claud proposed to Bonnie at a beach looking at Deception Pass Bridge. Later the couple found out that beach was supposedly called “Gun Point.”

“This makes a good story for our children and grand-children,” the Linns said.

They were married soon after by the assistant pas-tor of The Bridge Christian Fellowship.

Bridges play big part in couple’s weddingCalvary starts new preschool

Calvary Chapel, 15690 SE Ninth Ave., Oak Harbor, is starting a new preschool this fall. The Calvary Chapel Children’s Academy will begin taking reservations Monday, July 30, for next school year. Call 679-6959.

The Oak Harbor Christian School is now accepting applications for the “Little Eagles” preschool program for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Little Eagles offers two-day, three-day and five-day per week programs for children 3 to 5 years old, as well as a literacy enrichment programs on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 4 year olds who are enrolled in the regular M-W-F program.

Contact Preschool Director Michelle McVey, [email protected], 675-2831 or visit www.oakharborchristian.org.

Let’s all chat about pregnancy

“Pregnancy and child-birth” is the topic of the next audio chat held at the Christian Science Reading Room, Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 11 a.m.

In this chat participants will discover how fears and concerns relating to preg-nancy and childbirth can be overcome. Come join us or log on to www.jsh-online.com/chat.

Quakers hold worship service

Whidbey Island Quakers meet every Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525, two miles north of Freeland.

Their hour of silent wor-ship together may include spoken meditations or sharing of personal spiri-tual journeys.

For more information, visit www.whidbeyquakers.org or email Toni Grove at [email protected].

Pirate church is unconventional

Join Vine & Branches, the “pirate church,” as they explore Jesus in an unconventional way. Consider seeing “sinners saved by grace” as noble rogues on swashbuckling adventures.

They meet at 6 p.m. Wednesdays at “Off The Hook” bar and restaurant, 880 S. Pioneer St., Oak Harbor. Look for the One Eyed Jack in the back bil-liards lounge.

Methodist Church goes ‘Overboard’

“Operation Overboard” is the Vacation Bible School title of the First United Methodist Church, 1050 SE Ireland St., Oak Harbor. Children ages 3 to those entering fifth grade are welcome Aug. 13 to Aug. 19, 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., for some action-packed adventure.

Swim with humpback whales and seahorses, scuba through a vibrant coral reef, and take a per-sonal submarine to the ocean floor, where eels and octopi play.

Explore God’s word and learn to depend on God, dare to care, claim Jesus, choose to follow and change the world.

For more information, contact 675-2441 or www.oakharborfumc.org.

If you don’t believe in God

Atheists, agnostics, skeptics, secular human-ists, freethinkers — what-ever term you use to describe yourself, you may be one of the many people on Whidbey Island who don’t believe in God.

Mainland locations such as Seattle and Everett have groups and gather-ings of like-minded secular people.

There’s no lack of churches on Whidbey, but where can people who sup-port separation of church and state, frank and open-minded discussions, and who don’t need to believe in an imaginary man or woman in the sky to live useful and purposeful lives gather and work together for community to collab-orate on interesting and useful projects?

If you are interested in helping launch a secular Whidbey network, visit http:/www.meetup.com/ whidbey-island-secular-ists/ and pitch in, or con-tact Stephen Kan at 730-1467.
