Ten gay couples became some of the first in Island County to take advantage of Wash-ington’s new same-sex marriage laws Sunday when they tied the knot at a private ceremony in Langley.

Officiated by Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, the weddings were held at the home of one of the nation’s most famous gay cou-ples: Grethe Cammermeyer and Diane Divel-bess. They were one of the couples who wed.

Cammermeyer said it was a memorable day to begin with but it was made that much more special thanks to Conard. She prepared for the ceremonies by calling each of the cou-ples in advance to learn a little about them so each service would be a little more personal.

“(She) did such a beautiful job with all them,” Cammermeyer said.

An Uzbeki wedding horn, loaned by Lang-ley resident Fred Lundahl, and drinking glass-es with the date and “Married in Washington” blazoned on the side, also helped to make the day memorable.

Amazingly, all of the ceremonies were conducted over a short two-hour period, from 1 to 3 p.m., and were then followed by Cam-mermeyer’s and Divelbess’ annual Christmas party.

Adherence to a regimented schedule al-lowed everything to go smoothly and on time, said Cammermeyer, who is a retired colonel with the Washington National Guard.

“It was a military operation,” she joked.Coupeville residents Jim Sherman and Mi-

chael Ferri were one of the couple’s who wed on Sunday.

Their relationship began more than 30 years ago in San Francisco, Calif. Sher-man was working for the state and living in a church rectory when he was convinced by a friend to attend a spiritual group for gay men.

There he met Ferri.It wasn’t exactly love at first sight. The two

sat next to each other but in a confusing case of mistaken identity, Ferri thought Sherman was involved with a mutual friend and that he had been cheating on him with an anonymous doctor.

Later, when Ferri was asked if he wanted to give Sherman his number, his impression of the man sunk and he thought, “The nerve.” Of course it was all soon cleared up and the two hit it off.

“That’s how it started and we’ve been to-gether ever since,” Ferri said.

Just not legally.

A community supported grant program is giving one of Central Whidbey’s most rec-ognizable and historic structures a new lease on life.

Workers recently began installing a new metal roof on the Smith Barn at Willowood Farm, which is located about one mile south of town in the heart of Ebey’s Landing Na-tional Historical Reserve.

According to farm owner Georgie Smith, the project was made possible due to grant money received from the Ebey’s Forever Fund. The pot of money is generated from local donations and is awarded to owners of threatened historic structures.

“We would not have been able to afford to do this without it,” Smith said, of the grant program.

The exact age of the Smith Barn is un-known, but Smith says it’s believed to be at least 100 years old. She said she can’t be sure but thinks the barn was constructed some-time in the 1880s.

Ebey grant gives barn new protection“I’ve never been able to find an actual date

but we’re confident it’s before the 1900s,” she said.

Better known is the age of its roof. Bill Smith, Georgie Smith’s father, said he re-members it was installed just after the great Columbus Day Storm of 1962. Shingles from the old roof had just been taken off when the West Coast was hit by the famous blow, a storm that killed dozens of people.

“We had about 100 mph winds,” Bill Smith recalled.

New metal sheeting went up shortly af-terwards but that was 50 years ago this year. Over the years, that shiny new roof turned brown with rust and had begun to leak badly.

According to Georgie Smith, a new roof was expected to run at least $30,000, a hefty bill for a small-town farming family. So they applied for Ebey’s Forever Fund money, a program that has only been around for two years, and was awarded a grant.

“We knew we couldn’t afford it from the get go,” she said.

That money was then leveraged for a Heri-tage Barn Grant, a program administered though the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, which was used to re-place the structure’s old doors.

Altogether, the Smiths’ received about $29,000 from the two funds. Both grants re-

Aunt Thelma would be proud.Brett Rebischke-Smith has tak-

en her old family recipe for bread and is hoping to turn it into some dough.

The recipe is the foundation for his business, Brett’s Breads, which just opened Dec. 1 in Coupeville. Residents who frequent the Coupe-ville Farmers Market may already be familiar with the signature sweet bread, which he has sold there the past several seasons. The attractive, braided loaves went like hotcakes.

“People loved it,” Rebischke-Smith said. “I started by making 16 or 17 batches of dough and they sold out by noon. So the next week I made 18 batches, which sold out by noon. I bumped it up to 20 batches and sold out by 12:30 p.m.”

Busi-ness at the farmers mar-ket grew enough that Re-bischke-Smith expanded his inven-tory to in-clude two loaf sizes, small and large, and a wheat bread va-riety. He said he was happy to stay with the farmers market, but with the state’s

rule changes for cottage kitchens, Rebischke-Smith decided it was time to open up shop.

“It gives us a commercial kitchen and the opportunity to expand beyond the Saturday crowd,” he said.

In addition to his white and wheat bread varieties, Rebischke-Smith added cinna-mon rolls and cookies. During the holiday season, he plans to offer the “Coupeville Cringle,” a stuffed Danish-type pastry in the shape of a wreath. Special orders for dinner rolls are also available, but Rebi-schke-Smith suggests those inter-ested get their orders in early.

Brett’s Breads is definitely a fam-ily affair. Open-ing day found Brett, his wife Gail and their children, Maren-na, 10, and Ricky, 9, all busy running the shop. Ricky

washed dishes, Marenna tended the cash register and Gail, who

works as a nurse in Seattle during the week, helped prepare the cin-namon and sugar mixture for the

rolls. Brett busily rolled dough, shaped loaves, tended the oven and measured in-gredients for the next batch of bread.

The couple is happy the

business thus far has been able to include the whole family.

“I was pleased and surprised with how the farmers market went,” said Gail. “It was something we could do as a family for the week-end. We’ve always involved the kids.”

The couple’s children are enthu-siastic about the new venture.

“I think it will be a big hit,” said Ricky. “It will go very well and we’ll expand.

“This is a big jump from the farmers market,” said Marenna. “But I think Mom and Dad are happy about it. But I like it because of the paycheck.”

The family moved to Coupe-ville in 2008. A stay-at-home dad, Brett said he enjoyed the Coupeville Farmers Market because it gave him something to do that raised a little extra money for his family. Now he’s hoping to offer something back to the community he and his family have come to love.

“We want (Brett’s Breads) to be a community place where people come by to say ‘Hi’ to me and meet with their friends. I’d like to give

that back,” he said. “And if I can make a little money from it, that’s all the better.”

According to Gail, Brett’s Breads makes wonderful French toast and bread pudding. The shop, she said, will continue to slowly expand its products and will also

include products from local produc-ers that go well with bread.

For now, Rebischke-Smith is concentrating on what he knows best, and that’s baking bread from Aunt Thelma’s recipe.

“Who knows what we’ll end up with eventually,” Gail said. “But this is a start.”

A small host of volunteers was honored by Island County elected officials last week for their critical contributions at the treasurer’s of-fice this fall. Island County Com-missioner Helen Price Johnson pre-sented each of the eight volunteers with certificates of appreciation during a special brunch thrown in their honor this past Thursday.

“The whole county is benefiting from what you’re doing so thank you,” Price Johnson said.

Since 2011, low staffing levels have compelled the treasurer’s of-fice to seek assistance from the pub-lic three times to help out during tax season, according to Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñez.

Each time, Good Samaritans stepped forward to help with the time-consuming task of sorting en-velopes and statements from prop-erty owners. This past fall, they put

in about 190 hours of work.“Without them…,” Nuñez said.

“They’re critical.”The office would have had a

much harder, if not impossible, time meeting all its state-required deadlines and objectives without their help, she said.

Coupeville residents Bob and Beulah Whitlow, who attended Thursday’s party, volunteered all three times. While the work did give them a sense of satisfaction of giving back to the community, it wasn’t the only reason they volunteered.

“They are all really nice people to work and so appreciative,” Beu-lah Whitlow said. “It was easy to come back.”

Nuñez, who called the volun-teers “amazing,” expressed similar feelings.

Not only have they continually helped the office out of an ongoing crunch, she said, they’ve also given staffers something much more valu-able – their friendship.

Thank you for giving relationship validityBy Harry Anderson

A subplot in the 1966 Broadway mu-sical “Cabaret” concerns the doomed romance of an elderly Jewish fruit vendor and his non-Jewish landlady in early-1930s Berlin.

Their love was taboo in the anti-Semitic German culture of the day, and their marriage was against the law – even before the Nazis made it a capi-tal crime. At one point, the man sings these words to his forbidden lover:

How the world can change.It can change like that-Due to one little word:“Married.”See a palace riseFrom a two-room flatDue to one little word:“Married.”

And the old despairThat was often thereSuddenly ceases to be.For you wake one day,Look around and say:Somebody wonderful married me.

I have thought about that a lot since Referendum 74 was approved by the voters in Washington, and same-sex marriage became legal in the state this month.

My partner Terry Bible and I have been together for 37 years. We met in 1975. Our relationship was still against the law in many states.

Those old laws were rarely enforced by then, but everybody knew they were on the books.

Even living in a big city like Los An-geles, we were cautious whom we told about having a “roommate.”

Our official status was always checked “single/never married,” our public lives were quite separate, and only those we chose to tell knew who we really were.

Prejudice, if it happened, wasn’t overt. Just whispered.

It has gotten so much better through the years.

The “stigma” that my mother wor-ried so much about has pretty much disappeared. We have lived in diverse communities in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Dallas, and have shared our lives openly with everyone.

It’s amazing how many straight couples these days tell us how much they admire the longevity of our rela-tionship. On our 30th anniversary in 2005, we had a church wedding at Trin-ity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara before 200 friends and family members.

And since we moved to Coupeville in 2009, we have enjoyed a warm recep-tion by this very friendly, close-knit community that we love so much.

This is where we intend to spend the rest of our lives. On Dec. 6, the first day it was possible, we got a “legal” mar-riage license at the Island County Audi-tor’s office in Coupeville.

At least 10 other same-sex couples, most of whom had been together for many years just like us, were lined up, waiting for the office to open.

After the required three-day waiting period, we had a civil marriage ser-vice on Dec. 9, officiated by Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard.

So, after 37 years together, with ev-ery aspect of our lives already enter-twined, and every human being we know already aware of who we are, what difference does “legal” marriage make? A lot. It feels good knowing that Terry has all the legal protections and benefits of any other spouse in Washington.

It feels good knowing that when I am introduced as his spouse, people will automatically know we’re married.

And it feels good knowing that all the young gay men and women who come after us won’t have to share their love in the shadows or pretend to be something they’re not or tell lies about the person they love.

They’ll be able to marry that person, just like anybody else can.

Most of all, it feels complete. Some-body wonderful married me.

Thank you, Washington voters. Thank you very much.

Petitioners need to stop with jet noise grumbling

Try as I may, I can no longer remain si-lent on the issue of the Naval Outlying Field Coupeville petition. Ken Pickard made one comment I concur with — "That is it. It's over." However, he was remiss in not adding it is the grumbling that should be over.

Unless you purchased your home before OLF was activated in the spring of 1968, as we did, you knew what you were getting into and shouldn't be signing any petition.

Am I happy about the noise? Definitely not and I did my fair share of complaining until one day I got a call that the father of one of my first grade students was killed when his plane failed to catch the hook off an aircraft carrier.

I'm ashamed to say I still occasionally whine about the noise then chastise myself for my selfishness. Could those lives have been spared with more practice? I don't know but the guilt of complaining still plagues me.

Jim Slick annoyingly points out the need for OLF to save our economy. OLF is not about saving the island's economy but saving lives. OLF was chosen because flying condi-tions are favorable for flying. How arrogant and selfish of us to insist the training field be moved so that others are inflicted with this noise when they didn't ask for it. Most of you knew what you were getting into.

As to increased noise level. I don't know about that but I do know the resonance of the new planes is different. During Vietnam the flight from the older planes would actually rattle the windows. Needless to say on those days our young daughters didn't get any nap time. My advice is to either tolerate the noise or move.

Ken, I do feel your frustration as you and your family have lived here before OLF was

activated, but I can't agree with your stand on this issue.

Marilyn EngelCoupeville

OLF petition sparks memories of Vietnam

Deja’ vu is the word I would use that best describes the action taken by the petitioners to end the naval flight operations at Outlying Field Coupeville. As a veteran of Vietnam, I experienced being ordered to remove my uni-form before re-entering the continental United States after dark.

As one of many veterans during that dif-ficult time period who experienced that exer-cise on more than one occasion, we were so ordered as to not disturb the protesting vocal native population. At least that was the expla-nation at the time.

Back then the protesters didn’t want to see the military, today it appears they don’t want to hear the military.

Many of these petitioners appear to be of the age today as would those who protested the war in Vietnam. The only difference today is back then they would not serve in uniform, today they cannot serve in uniform due to age.

So much for hiding behind the forest of U.S. flags and “support the troops” bumper stickers. Some folks can only stay in the closet so long before they put their mouth where their beliefs lie. Unfortunately the petitioners have crossed the line, which in turn is gen-erating an “us against them” mentality that neither side has any hope of winning. Choice made. Consequences paid.

A state-required update to a section of Island County’s critical areas ordinances is seven years past due and a South Whidbey-based envi-ronmental watchdog group says that’s too long.

Officials with Whidbey Environmental Action Net-work, or WEAN, have con-firmed that they will be filing a failure to act petition this week with the state’s Growth Management Hearings board for the county’s lack of action to update its policies and reg-ulations for fish and wildlife conservation areas.

Steve Erickson, litiga-tion coordinator for WEAN, said the update has continu-ally shown up on the Island County Planning Commis-sion’s docket as an action item but has yet to be com-pleted.

He believes the existing rules need “extensive chang-es” and, after years of delay, the only way to ensure the county takes action is to seek an enforcement order by the state hearing’s board.

“It’s the only way we can assure the county meets its obligations,” Erickson said.

“It’s just time that hap-pens,” he said.

In 1990, the Legislature passed the Growth Manage-ment Act, which required counties and cities to adopt comprehensive land use plans and development regulations to coordinate and manage growth and development, as well as protect the state’s natural resources and critical areas.

In response, the county adopted its comprehensive plan and its critical areas ordinance, which addresses wetlands and agriculture to geologically hazardous and frequently flooded areas, in 1998.

Those rules are subject to continual review, however, and the state established a Dec. 1, 2005, deadline for Island County. With the ex-ception of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, all have been updated.

WEAN submitted a letter to Island County Planning and Community Develop-ment and the Prosecutor’s Office last month to notify officials of its intent to file the petition with the hearing’s board.

Along with addressing the conservation areas update failure, it alleged that the shoreline master program update, which is currently in the process of being adopted, contained elements of the old rules.

Erickson alleged a lack of consistency would be created between the two sets of regu-lations once the critical areas ordinance is fully updated.

Bob Pederson, the county’s planning chief, did address WEAN’s litigation threat at the commissioner’s work session last week, say-ing the petition and a possible enforcement order by the hearing board will be a hard-ship for the department.

“If they do so, that is going to have a substantial impact on the work program and there will be an econom-ic number associated with that,” Pederson said.

Lacking the “in-house expertise” to accomplish all aspects of the update, he said an outside consultant would likely need to be hired.

Time was scheduled in 2012 to perform some of the work for the update but significant progress wasn’t made as attempts to secure grant funding were unsuc-cessful. Pederson said he is optimistic they will have bet-ter luck with another grant opportunity being sought this January.

Some work was done, however, through the shore-line master program update

as the rules contain a conser-vation areas element. Subse-quently, Pederson does not agree with Erickson’s opinion that the program includes outdated policies.

“Certainly there are provi-sions from the old ordinance that carried forward but there is more than that,” he said.

Island County Commis-sioner Helen Price Johnson said she does hope the next grant application is more suc-cessful but she also made it clear that she believes it’s time to make progress on the over-due update.

“I think it is important that we move forward,” Price Johnson said. “It’s languished a long time.”

This isn’t the first time WEAN has been a thorn in the county’s side. Since its in-ception in 1989, the nonprofit group has challenged the county on various land-use policies, projects and permits on more than 20 separate oc-casions.

Those challenges have taken place in courts, in front of hearings examiners and the GMA hearings board.

It’s been in continuous liti-gation with the county over the agricultural element of the critical areas ordinance

since its original adoption, with the latest court action scheduled for early next year.

The recent letter from WEAN also requested a schedule be mutually agreed upon for when the update would be completed. Er-ickon said this week that he has not yet heard back from county officials and planned to file the petition on Thurs-day.

“We’re going to do what we need to do,” Erickson said. “It’s the only way we can assure the county meets its obligations.”

Late critical areas update prompts action


Steve Erickson, litigation founder for Whidbey Environmental Action Network, addresses the Island County Commissioners during a recent meeting on the shoreline master program up-date. WEAN plans to take legal action this week to ensure the county starts work on an up-date to a section of the critical areas ordinance, which is seven years overdue.

Traffic complaints and disorderly conduct


Arsdel Louvaine Fluesmeier

Arsdel Louvaine Fluesmeier, a long time resident of Coupeville, Washington passed away surrounded by his loving family on Nov. 29, 2012. He was born June 23, 1921 in Defiance, Mo. “Flues” as he was known to fam-ily and friends was the old-est of six children born to Arsdel L. and Nan Elizabeth Lowery Fluesmeier. Flues was preceded in death by his parents, younger brother Luckett (Bub) Fluesmeier and infant daughter Gay Elizabeth. He is survived by his wife of 60 years Eva Zwirnmann Fluesmeier, son John Bruce (Kathy), of Columbia, Mo.; daughter Jean Ann Kurisu (Kord) and his beloved granddaugh-ter Kayla Patricia Kurisu, of Mukilteo and his four remaining siblings; brother Jack Fluesmeier (Doris); sisters Betty Akers (Don), Mary Barnes (Claude) and Pat Koch all of Missouri.

Flues was a veteran of WWII. He was the radio operator on a B-17 in the 8th Air Force, part of the 384th Bomb Group, and flew 29 missions over Germany. After the war Flues finished his studies at the University of Missouri and graduated as a Metallurgical Chemist. He went on to work for the Cerro de Pasco Corporation in Peru where he and Eva met and married. Several years later Flues worked for the Nicaro Nickel and Lead Mining Company in Nicaro, Cuba. He and his young family were evacu-ated in 1958 by the U.S.Navy

to Guantanamo Bay when Castro took over the lead mines. They returned to the United States and set-tled in Miami, Okla. where he worked as a Research Chemist for 25 years with Eagle Picher. After retiring in 1985 he and Eva settled in Coupeville.

Flues was a licensed Ham Radio operator. He built his own transmitter when he was a teenager and had contacts all over the world. He was a member of the Whidbey Island Ham Lunch Bunch. Flues was also an avid and talented photogra-pher publishing one book on backyard birds of Whidbey Island. Birds, wildlife and flowers were his favorite subjects.

Flues was past president of the Miami Oklahoma Rotary Club and a member of the executive board of the United Methodist Church and numerous committees in Miami, Okla. and also vol-unteered in the Boy Scouts with his son.

Per his wishes, there will not be a memorial service. Donations in his memory may be made to: The WAIF animal shelter on Whidbey, 20168 Hwy. 20, Coupeville, WA 98239 or www.waifani-mals.org

It is noon on Whidbey Island.

People are working, run-ning errands, caring for their children, strolling on the beach, grabbing lunch at the drive-through, and doing any number of things that Ameri-cans do in a typical day.

An ocean away, most In-donesians are fast asleep. It is 2 a.m. their time.

But 15 educators from the Southeast Asian nation had their sleep schedule flipped upside down as they visited Washington state, stopping

first in Spokane, then head-ing to Whidbey Island.

The teachers and princi-pals from this Islamic nation were here as “ambassadors” through Friendship Force In-ternational, and the Whidbey Island chapter was excited to host them.

“This was such an enrich-ing experience — words can-not describe,” said Shirley Hauck, exchange director and member of Friendship Force of Whidbey Island. “The Indonesian ambassa-dors are wonderful people.”

During the visit, the group saw the island’s highlights, in-cluding Coupeville, Langley

and Deception Pass.They also took a ferry

ride to visit Port Townsend and toured Boeing’s com-mercial jet assembly plant in Mukilteo.

The Indonesians experi-enced American culture by living in a host home during their visit, and developed friendships to last a lifetime.

“It is a really neat example of local citizens taking small steps to improve U.S. rela-tions with the Muslim world in a time of much strife,” said George Brown, president of Friendship Force Inter-national, headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. The organiza-tion has 371 chapters in 54 countries.

A unique aspect to this exchange was its educational component: a three-day pro-fessional training program on techniques for teaching Eng-lish as a second language.

The class for the Indone-sian teachers and principals was held at the Northwest Language Academy Cultural Center in Langley and was taught by visiting instruc-tor Margaret Hicks. The program was provided by Friendship Force in coopera-tion with the Consortium for Global Education.

After the groups return to Indonesia, they will complete additional online training and receive a certificate.

“The program was great,” said Indonesian teacher Yvonne de Fretes. “There was so much information.”

Friendship Force was established in 1976 when in-ternational travel was not as common as it is today.

The organization was formed to increase knowl-edge and interest among

Americans going overseas as well as to encourage people from other countries to come to the United States to learn about American culture.

In a world divided by the Cold War, the vision was to bring about world peace — one friendship at a time. And while the Soviet Union has since crumbled and the Cold War brought to an end, world peace remains as elusive as it was four decades ago.

However, the Friendship Force vision remains the same, and participants be-lieve that meaningful friend-ships can begin with a foun-dation of just one week.

Friendship Force of Whidbey Island hosted the

Indonesian “ambassadors” with Friendship Force International are bundled against the cold for their ferry ride over to Port Townsend with their American hosts. The Indonesians were on Whid-bey Island for one week for a professional training program and to learn about American culture. From left are Pat Westling, Hendro Sukarni, Nur Sukriawati, Rani Hernowo, Lani Maitimu, Dina Weno, Momo Suria, Lis Hariyono, Dri Sudarina, Wawang, Yvonne de Fretes, Sandie Gitchell, Ad-mar Jamal Junior, Free Hearty, Wiyono, Agatha Endang and Shirley Hauck.

visiting educators from Oct. 7 to Oct. 15.

The club currently has 14 members, with the possibil-ity of six new people joining the ranks.

“We are always looking for new members,” Hauck said. “This is for anyone who has an interest in learning about other cultures.”

Traveling with a Friend-ship Force exchange can be a less expensive way to travel, but this is not always the case as Hauck discovered when staying with a host family in Brazil.

The cultural norm to dine out for meals, rather than prepare a meal at home, ate into the expected savings from not having to pay for a hotel room. But saving mon-ey isn’t the reason to sign up for exchanges with this group. Rather, the goal is to make meaningful connections with people in ways that you can’t

on a typical vacation abroad, Hauck said.

Staying with a host family gives an opportunity to see how people in that nation live and discover both differences and commonalities, she said.

“There are such nice peo-ple here — so polite and help-ful,” said Indonesian teacher Driwiyanti Sudarina, who visited the U.S. for the first time on this exchange.

Sudarina had expected the U.S. to be really crowded, consisting of city after city, and said she was surprised and pleased by Whidbey Island’s natural beauty. She said she really enjoyed seeing the deer and rabbits.

Sudarina’s home city, Ja-karta, swells from 9 million people to 12 million people each day as commuters travel to and from work. Whidbey’s largest city — Oak Harbor — has a population of about 22,200.

Friendship Force welcomes Indonesian educators


Carol Barnes clicked through picture after picture on her desktop looking for one she could share.

Most are too disturbing to be shown, she said.

Finally, she settled on two to explain why she and several others had formed the Whidbey Island Farm Ani-mal Assistance Program, a new organization to help care for farm animals in distress.

The mission of the organi-zation is to provide financial assistance to care for rescued or at-risk farm animals on Whidbey Island.

Barnes is the animal con-trol officer for Island County and her work exposes her to mistreated and neglected animals through-out the county.

“Look at those ribs,” said Barnes, with a shake of her head.

In the first photograph, a brown horse with its rib cage jutting out, the spine and the pelvis all too visible. The animal appears emaciated and mal-nourished.

In the second photograph, after a few weeks of care, the bones no longer stick out. The animal has put on weight.

The county lacks a pro-gram or funding to care for horses or other large animals that have have been taken away from their owners, Barnes said. Private indi-viduals have been stepping forward to provide the assis-tance, she said.

But with need — and ex-penses to meet that need — increasing, Barnes is asking animal lovers to help shoul-

der some of the burden and donate to the fund. The fund helps care for farm animals when the owners are unable or unwill-ing to pro-vide food and medi-cal care.

Money is not the only way to give, she said. M-Bar-C-Ranch in Freeland has chipped in by donating hay, she said.

And while the example Barnes gave shows an ex-treme scenario in which the horse was removed from its home and criminal charges were brought against the owner, not every situation re-sults in legal action.

In some scenarios, own-ers need tempo-rary help with feed or veteri-nary care to bridge a rough patch and the ani-mals can remain on

the farm, said the organiza-tion’s President Pam Price.

The fund is able to help chip in to provide that assis-tance, said Price.

In other cases, the animal needs to be placed in a new home to get proper care, she said.

Price recalled one situ-ation in which a woman’s financial situation changed and she was no longer able to adequately provide for her

three horses. The organization gave

feed assistance and helped place two of the horses in a new home.

The group also helps out when a horse or pony gets loose — and becomes a

traffic hazard. The volunteers help return

the animal to its owner or place it into protective cus-tody when its owner cannot be located.

“We have an awesome foster team,” said Price. “Without the volunteers and donations, we would not be successful at providing these services.”

Beside equines, the orga-nization has helped to place in new homes llamas, alpac-as, goats, pot belly pigs, sheep and chickens — all as pets, Barnes said.

A bank account has been set up at Whidbey Island Bank to accept donations.

Checks can also be mailed to WIFAAP, PO Box 402, Coupeville, WA.

As the Animal Control Officer for Island County, Carol Barnes sees animal abuse and ne-glect. This summer, Barnes seized two emaciated horses from North Whidbey. To help care for the rescued and at risk farm animals on Whidbey Island, Barnes has helped start the Whidbey Island Farm Animal Assistance Program.

Maybe you caught the story in the Seattle Times a few weeks ago about forag-ing for wild foods to supple-ment your Thanksgiving feast. That’s an idea I can get behind during any season of the year. In fact, along with planning your veggie garden for next year, think about adding some incredible edible bedding plants to your flower boarders and do all your for-aging closer to home.

You’re probably well aware the flowers of most of your culinary herbs are not only beautiful in the garden, but also flavorful additions to meals. This is especially true of members of the mint, or Lamiaceae, family. This in-cludes innumerable kinds of sages, rosemary, thyme, hys-sop and even lavender.

With lavender, however, you’ll have better results if you stick with an English lavender variety or Provence, one of the few lavender hy-brids recommended for culi-nary use. The reason for this is the higher amounts of cam-phor found in French (L. x intermedia) varieties. The fla-vor of lavender can be strong for some, so use it sparingly.

You can eat English dai-sies, chrysanthemums, lilacs, marigolds and nasturtiums, sunflower buds, roses, snap-dragons, yuccas and daylil-ies. You can even eat passion flowers, though it seems a sin to devour something so won-drous to look at.

As always, eating things provided by Mother Na-ture comes with a warning. Pesticides formulated for ornamentals are not the same as intended for food crops. Don’t eat your bedding plants if you’re in the habit of chemi-cally treating them for pests. For the same reason, don’t eat flowers you’ve gotten from

a commercial grower or a florist. And don’t eat some-thing that is exposed daily to the toxic miasma emanat-ing from your car. That’s just nasty.

Also, some flower parts can be bitter, while others parts are sweet. Remove the sepals from most flowers and use only the petals. One ex-ception where you can eat the whole flower is when using pansies, Johnny-jump-ups and violas. Remove the bit-ter white portion at the base of the petals of roses, chry-santhemums, dianthus and marigolds. Because pollen can cause allergic reactions in some people, get in the habit of removing the stamen and pistils from flowers before you use them in foods.

Just like you’d do if you were mushroom hunting, be sure you know exactly what plant it is you’ve just picked. There’s been a spate of mush-room poisoning deaths in the national news of late, all because people didn’t know what they were doing. Know your plants. Some flowers are edible, while the rest of the plant is not.

If you can’t tell the dif-ference between a tulip bulb and daffodil bulb, then don’t even think about preparing a quick stir fry with the bulbs that didn’t make it into the garden. Stock up on plant ID books and especially edible flower guides and become an informed forager.

Foraging for flowers is fun

toni grovesowin ’n’ the trowel

By Elisabeth MurrayStaff Writer

Judy Lynn has spent countless hours listening.

With more than 200 oral history interviews conducted on behalf of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve and the Island County His-torical Society under her belt, this Coupeville resident knows a lot about local his-tory.

Lynn’s efforts recently culminated in the book “Im-ages of America: Coupe-ville” published by Arcadia Publishing. The book chron-icles Coupeville’s history as recorded in photographs. Local resident Kay Foss also pitched in.

The Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve recog-nized Lynn for her hard work in preserving local history. She is the recipient of the 2012 Volunteer of the Year award, which she re-ceived at the Ebey’s Forever Annual Community Potluck earlier this month.

“Every year -- we have dozens and dozens of vol-unteers that contribute their time, expertise and passion

Contributed

Al Sherman, member of the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve presents Judy Lynn with the 2012 Volunteer of the Year Award.

Lynn honored for work

on behalf of Ebey’s -- pro-tecting its rural heritage for generations to come,” said Mark Preiss, reserve manag-er. “Judy Lynn -- she’s a shin-ing example, and reflects the level of deep commitment we have here in our commu-nity for preserving the rural heritage and stories of Ebey’s Landing.”

“I think it’s important to save our history, to save those memories,” Lynn said. “I really enjoyed getting to know people and hearing all the stories.”

The wide-ranging stories and first-person perspective compiled from these inter-views is essential to under-

standing the history and people of Central Whidbey, Coupeville and the Reserve, Preiss said.

The behind-the-scenes stories would simply be lost to us, had it not been for Lynn’s dedication and per-sistence, he said.

However, because of her work, the stories and per-sonal histories are “available to all of us and to future generations,” he said.

In addition to conduct-ing and transcribing the interviews, Lynn, a profes-sional organizer, also assem-bled, sorted and scanned a large number of photo-graphs.

Even after putting in countless hours on the proj-ect, Lynn said the award

was unexpected.“It was a total surprise

to me. I had no idea it was coming,” she said. “It’s quite an honor.”

Preiss also recognized the assistance of the Coupe-ville Lions Club and other community volunteers who gave a combined 400 hours as preservation crew mem-bers to help stabilize the En-gle Carriage House as part of the fifth Historic Preser-vation Field School.

In addition, the Central Whidbey Lions donated their time to maintain the Ebey’s Prairie wayside and assist the Island County Historical Society in pre-serving the Alexander Blockhouse, located on the museum grounds, he said.


The stage is built. Lines are memorized. And the roll-drop is ready to go for the Christmas production of FruItCaKes at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor, currently showing.

The mechanism allows for fast scene changes and was built by the Central Whidbey Lions Club.

“Rapid scene changes are a must to hold the audience’s attention,” said Jim Rich, Central Whidbey Lions Club member.

According to Rich, the roll-drop offers the Play-house the ability to add greater diversity and depth to productions. The fabric can be painted and repainted to create “soft scenery” for dif-ferent productions.

When designing the mechanism for scene chang-

es, the Lions focused on cre-ating something safe to oper-ate and affordable.

A manual drop can be dangerous — especially if operated by inexperienced volunteers, Rich said.

The Lions ended up adapting a tube motor to their own design that only moves when the power is ap-plied, solving the safety issue, he said.

The cost per 20 foot roll-drop mechanism was about $550, significantly less than what those manufactured for professional theater cost, he said.

The roll-drop’s light-weight design — as com-pared to heftier professional theater systems — is also an advantage, he said. It will allow for the roll-drop to be more easily repositioned.

The Playhouse’s stage gets reconfigured between pro-ductions, of which there are

Turnovers are a common theme so far this season for the Coupeville High School boys basketball team, and the mistakes undercut strong ef-forts in three recent losses.

The Wolves lost 57-24 at University Prep in Seattle Tuesday, Dec. 4; 74-25 at La Conner Thursday, Dec. 6; and 69-39 at home to Cedar-crest Friday, Dec. 7.

In addition to losing the trio of games, the Wolves also lost leader Gavin O’Keefe to a broken foot in the Universi-ty Prep contest. In that game, the teams played to a 10-10 tie after one quarter, then O’Keefe went down.

Coach Anthony Smith said, “Once Gavin went out we became undisciplined.”

Smith said the Wolves “couldn’t score and couldn’t stop them” and were crippled by turnovers in the second quarter as the Pumas out-scored Coupeville 22-5 to pull away.

The Wolves managed only two points in the third quarter and trailed 41-17 after three periods.

Coupeville struggled from the field, hitting only 30 per-cent of its shots. Meanwhile, UP executed well; “I can’t imagine any other team will execute any better,” Smith said.

Nick Streubel led the Wolves in scoring with 10 points. O’Keefe and Aaron Trumbull had four each; and Caleb Valko, Morgan Payne and Aaron Curtin two apiece.

Coupeville pulled down

32 rebounds and committed 31 turnovers.

La Conner outscored Coupe-ville by double digits in each of the first three quarters to roll to its big win.

The win by the 2B Braves (3-0) was their third straight over a larger school.

Smith said the Braves switched up defenses, start-ing with a full-court press and later going to a half-court trap, and the pres-sure flustered the Wolves. Coupe-ville finished the game with 28 turnovers.

Smith said, “We don’t have a specific ball han-dler; we are still trying to figure it out.”

For the third consecutive game, Coupeville struggled to score, particularly in the second half. The Wolves run a motion offense, and Smith said his players weren’t consistently cutting to the hoop to take advantage of the Braves’ gambling defense.

Smith said Carson Risner topped the Coupeville scorers with six points. Drew Chan, Valko, Streubel and Trum-bull had four each and Cur-tin one.

Cedarcrest’s press forced numerous turnovers early and the Red Wolves sprinted to 20-8 and 38-14 leads in the first two quarters, then led 60-27 after three in the Cas-cade Conference opener for

both schools.Smith said his kids played

hard, but they “have to play together.”

Cedarcrest’s pressure wasn’t the only problem, Smith said. The press picked up the pace of the game and Coupeville didn’t handle the speed well: “They made us go fast and we made mistakes. It was just up and down with no structure.”

Offensively, the Red Wolves “live or die” by the three-point shot, according to Smith. “They don’t have much of an inside presence, so they like to shoot the

three.”Cedarcrest (1-0, 1-4)

knocked down eight treys in the win.

Smith lauded the effort of Streubel, who picked up a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Rinser had six points, Josh Wilsey five, Chan four, Valko four, Trum-bull two and Curtin two.

Smith said, “We’ll keep plugging away. That’s our motto, we will play hard.”

Coupeville (0-1, 0-4) played Lakewood (0-1, 1-3) Tuesday; it hosts South Whidbey (0-1, 1-4) at 7 p.m. tomorrow.

La Conner and Cedarcrest both effectively used full court presses to put away the visiting Coupeville High School girls basketball team last week.

The Braves defeated the Wolves 53-27 Thursday, Dec. 6, and the Red Wolves won 62-24 Friday, Dec. 7, in the conference opener.

La Conner’s pressure helped it zip to a 17-2 first-quarter lead.

Coupeville coach David King said, “What really hurt us all game was not taking care of the ball. In the first half we turned it over 19 times and 35 total for the game. We

are rushing and not being patient. Many of the turnovers were us just not taking care of the ball or trying to fit a pass in when there wasn’t a place to make a pass.”

After the rugged first quarter, the Wolves settled in and played even with the Braves in the middle two periods, trailing 28-10 at the half and 37-20 going into the final period.

Hailey Hammer scored 10 of her team-high 12 points in the sec-ond and third quarters to help the Wolves keep pace.

Lauren Escalle finished with five points, Amanda Fabrizi and Ma-kana Stone three each and Bessie Walstad two.

While the La Conner press hurt the Wolves early, Cedarcrest’s took its toll in the second half when the Red Wolves out scored Coupeville 37-7.

The Wolves handled Cedar-crest’s pressure for the most part in the first half, according to Smith. The Red Wolves went up 14-6 in the first quarter, and the gap remained eight at the break, 25-17.

King said, “Cedarcrest turned up their pressure on the press to start the third, this sped up the game and caused us to play faster than we wanted and caused us to turn the ball over for easy layups for the Red Wolves.”

The turnovers also limited

Coupeville’s shooting opportunities as Cedarcrest outscored the Wolves 17-2 in the period.

Cedarcrest continued to press in the fourth quarter, the Wolves continued to struggle and the Red Wolves out scored Coupeville 21-5 in the final frame.

King said his team played “great help defense” throughout the game, but was stung by the press and Ce-darcrest’s fast break.

He was pleased with the defen-sive effort of Fabrizi and Stone on Susan Kenney, one of the area’s top scorers.

Hammer led Coupeville with eight points and 10 rebounds. Stone finished with six points, seven re-

bounds, three blocks and four steals.Escalle had six points, Jai’Lysa

Hoskins three and Bree Messner one.

King said, “On our offensive end we are starting to get more open shots, we just need to continue shooting and more will fall.”

He added, “Our effort is there from the start of the game until the final buzzer. Once we minimize our turnovers we will get more shots up.”

Coupeville (0-1, 1-3) played at Lakewood (0-1, 2-2) Tuesday and now hosts South Whidbey (0-1, 3-2) at 5:15 p.m. tomorrow.

Thisweek’ssolution

While their relationship has withstood the test of three decades, their commit-ment became official for the first time Sunday when the two men, along with nine other couples, married in a private ceremony in Langley.

Many of those couples, including Sherman and Ferri, were at the Island County Courthouse Thursday morn-ing as some the first gay couples to purchase marriage licenses on Whidbey Island.

Referendum 74, which was passed this November and upheld same-sex mar-riage in Washington, went into effect Thursday.

According to the Seattle Times, more than 200 couples were in line at the Recorder’s Office in King County at midnight to get their mar-riage licenses.

Although Island County was far less busy, Cammer-meyer and Divelbess added to their personal legacy by becoming the county’s first same-sex couple to get a mar-riage license.

Their story has been made famous by a major motion

picture that detailed Cam-mermeyer’s legal challenge of her involuntary discharge from the Washington Nation-al Guard in 1992 for admit-ting she was a lesbian.

Cammermeyer, who went on to fight for years to end to end the military’s controver-sial “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy, is also a Whidbey General Hospital commis-sioner. For them, being legal-ly allowed to get a marriage license after a 25-year rela-tionship was no small thing.

“There is a legitimization of our existence that’s dif-ficult to explain,” Cammer-meyer said. “If I want to hold Diane’s hand walking down the street, I have the right to do that.”

For other couples at the Auditor’s Office Thurs-day, getting their marriage licenses was important but also something of a formality. Many said they’ve been mar-ried in their hearts, and made their commitments before God, a long time ago.

“I feel like the state’s final-ly caught up,” said Harry An-derson, a Coupeville resident.

He and his fiance, Terry Bible, have been together since Halloween night, 1975. They moved to Whidbey a few years ago after Anderson retired from a long career in journalism and public rela-tions.

Bible works at the Whid-bey Island Naval Air Station Commissary/Exchange on the Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor.

Being legally married has some real-life applica-tions that have become more important to the couple as they’ve gotten older, such as being able to establish a will and settle other financial mat-ters to ensure their loved one is taken care of.

Many of those things are much more difficult or im-possible under a civil union or some other type of part-nership classification.

“I think it boils down to equality,” Bible said.

“You want to protect you partner like any married cou-ple would,” Anderson said.

Sherman and Ferri, who are coincidentally neighbors of Anderson and Bible, feel

quired a 50 percent match from the Smiths, bringing the total investment, or reinvest-ment, to about $58,000.

According to reserve manager Mark Preiss, this was an incredibly important project.

Not only is the Smith Barn an old structure that speaks to an important chap-

ter in Central Whidbey’s ag-ricultural history but it’s also a working barn, he said.

It’s an integral part of Willowood Farm’s daily operations and the new roof and doors will allow the Smiths to continue to use it into the future.

The reserve is not a muse-um but a working landscape,

he said.Also, with a breath tak-

ing backdrop of the Olympic Mountain range, it’s one of Central Whidbey most com-monly photographed loca-tions and one of the reserve’s signature structures.

“Clearly, when you look at the Smith Barn, it’s one of those iconic viewsheds,”

Preiss said. “It would be hard to imagine that setting with-out it.”

Georgie Smith said she has been contacted by sev-eral people interested in purchasing the old roofing material.

For more information, email her at [email protected].

much the same way.“Personally, we validated

our relationship years ago,” Ferri said.

They had an impromptu marriage in 1983 during a gay rights march in Washing-ton D.C. Lacking rings, they traded beaded tribal Zulu pins.

“It was exciting getting married on Constitution Av-enue,” Sherman recalled.

Like Anderson and Bible,

getting married again will make settling legal affairs a little easier but this is also about making a statement.

While Sherman has been more reserved and private about his life, Ferri spent years fighting on the front lines of gay-rights activism and he said he wants to make sure the message of outspo-ken critics, such as the late evangelical fundamentalist Jerry Falwell, aren’t passed

on to the next generation.According to Ferri, Fal-

well once preached that being gay meant you were not or could not contribute to the human family. Well, Ferri said he hope’s his life and now legal marriage will pass on another message, one that speaks of love, connection and equality.

“To hell with you, Jerry,” he said.

Family Dermatology, the only full-service dermatology clinic in Coupeville, opened in October 2011.

Physician Assistant and owner, Reese Bliek, has worked in the medical field since 2000, and in the dermatology field since 2008. He is familiar with local patients and their histories, and uses his expertise to make initial evaluations and perform biopsies in the on-site lab.

The practice also employs two medical doctors specializing in dermatology. Dr. Duane Whitaker is a leading specialist in the Mohs skin-sparing procedure for challenging skin cancer surgery, and Dr. Susan Oldenkamp, who has family here on Whidbey Island, has been a practicing dermatologist in Everett since 1989. Whitaker sees surgery patients in Coupeville three days a month, and Oldenkamp visits the practice one day each week. Family Dermatology is currently looking for a third medical doctor to join its growing practice.

In addition to skin cancer treatment and surgery, the clinic offers cryotherapy, phototherapy, treatment for acne, hair and nail disorders and psoriasis. Becky Bliek manages the business, with

help from daughter Ashlee, 20. Daughter Emilee, 19, is a surgical technician and works with her father.

“That’s why we chose the name Family Dermatology,” Becky said with a smile. The Blieks have lived in Oak Harbor since 1991.

Family Dermatology sees patients of all ages, but 70 percent of their clients are people over 65.

“That seems to be when common skin problems catch up with people,” Becky said.

The practice accepts most insurance plans and offers a payment plan for patients who lack coverage.

“We want Whidbey Island patients to get their care here on the Island,” Reese said.

“We’re here to fill the need for a full-service, local, dermatology clinic,” Becky said.

Family Dermatology is located at 205 S. Main St., Bldg. B, in Coupeville. Visit the website at familydermco.com or call 360-682-5024.
