Mark Oppenlander, director of the SPU Center for Applied Learning, said students are tasked with creating a viable business plan with sustainable funding while identifying ways the venture would bene t people or the planet.

“ is reinforces the notion that all good business plans should have a social impact,” he said, adding the concept that businesses can turn a pro t and address a social need is something important to members of Generation Z. “It’s not one or the other.”

Queen Anne & Magnolia News editor

Tickets are still available for purchase to the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce’s popular event and spring fundraiser Vino in the Village.

e spring event will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday starting at Modeles Home Furnishings, 3220 W. McGraw St., in Magnolia Village. is event will feature 16 local wineries that will pour wines and

spirits at di erent businesses in the village. Go to https://discovermagnolia.org/ and click on the Vino in the Village tickets link.

Magnolia Chamber of Commerce

Executive Director Jason ibeaux said the biannual event is an important fundraiser for the Chamber of Commerce because of its popularity.

“It’s, by far, our most consistent fundraiser,” he said, adding the goal is to sell out of tickets at each event.

“Events like this de nitely make us whole at the end of the year.”

e event was especially important during COVID, when the chamber was deeply impacted, ibeaux said. Since then, the chamber is doing well in terms of membership.

“I would say our membership grew slightly during the pandemic, but not

to the tune of making up for events,” he said.

at is why events like Vino in the Village is so important to the chamber, which has a number of campaigns to support businesses in the community, ibeaux said.

e chamber is slowly adding back events to its annual calendar and recently hosted its rst casino night since the pandemic, as well as its rst in-person annual awards dinner, and chamber board members are planning additional events.

None, however, surpass Vino in the Village for the chamber.

ibeaux said the event not only bene ts the chamber; it also is an important event for businesses in the

MAKE LIKE A WATER HYACINTH

Growing up in an apartment building complex in Coney Island, Brooklyn, I could recognize and name dandelions, tulips and roses. Sadly, that was the extent of my floral literacy. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest several decades ago, my recognition and vocabulary of our rich flora has expanded quite a bit. I can now talk about rhodys as well as the next person. Dear reader, you’re likely wondering what does this have to do with aging? Stay with me.

I just read about the water hyacinth. This beautiful flowering water plant starts out barely noticeable, taking up a tiny portion of a pond or other body of water. However, as it grows, its watery roots multiply, and before you know it, the same pond is covered with these beautiful, interconnected flowers. A perfect healthy aging metaphor!

As we age, our world can contract as we retire from the work force, lose neighbors, friends and loved ones as people move on or pass. Without action on our part, the contraction can continue until our pond becomes very small. However, like the water hyacinth, planting oneself in a healthy and enriching

substrate can offer the opportunity for exponential expansion instead.

I have seen it over and over again at Bayview. A new resident moves in, initially a lone flower in a new pond. However, often within weeks or even days, connections start growing until their personal pond is covered with beautiful blooming flowers: multiple friendships and nurturing connections with staff, instructors, musicians and guests of all manner who visit Bayview.

No person is an island, and we are not meant to age alone. Studies have shown people who live at Continuing Care Retirement Communities like Bayview live an average of seven years longer than their peers who stay at home. So, though it doesn’t feel like spring lately, make like a water hyacinth. Find yourself a nourishing substrate that feeds your own personal and spiritual growth and watch as your world expands and inspires others with its newfound beauty. Happy spring everyone.

WHEN OWLS ATTACK

By Joshua Penner Special to the

“Flow” can be defined as the mental state where a person is fully immersed in the balance of challenge and skill required to perform an activity. Complete absorption and deep enjoyment take over, often transforming one’s sense of time.

I’m fortunate to experience flow on my morning running route, as the trail meanders through miles of forest, hills and streams. I’ve seen bears, coyotes, deer, woodpeckers, a bobcat and… owls.

Sometimes I see the owl first and that’s nice. Other times the owl sees me first and decides to attack the back of my head, shocking me out of my “flow” state in a flash. It’s like getting hit in the back of the head with a bat made out of knuckles and wood nails. My toque, what Canadians call the warm, stretchy winter hat, flies off my head, and I narrowly avoid face-planting as I pull up in a painful daze. Instantly ashamed of the shriek that shook the peace of the forest a moment ago, I pick up my toque off the trail and lift my eyes up to the branches overhead. Sure enough, there sits the winged demon, with unblinking eyes locked on his target.

My mind flicks back to my first run-in with a militant owl. After

the initial blow I took up a defensive position behind a tree on the side of the trail. An owl attacked my head? Really? Does it have rabies? Are those bloody goose eggs growing on the back of my skull? All I knew was that my head hurt, and I was still locked in the death stare of a great horned owl 15 yards up the trail who looked like he was just getting warmed up. I needed protection quick! My eyes darted away from the owl to scan my surroundings and immediately spotted a 3-foot stick laying at my feet, as if it had been placed there for this very reason. Like King Arthur, I retrieved the sword and in the nick of time, too, for the owl was instantly upon me in a flurry of wings and talons. I kept him at bay for half a dozen wing beats with a series of vigorous jabs and parries before he passed by and alighted on another branch to regroup. I firmly believe that had it not been for that blessed stick, I would have left half my face in the palm of an owl and would be growing a beard for next year’s Christmas card to hide the carnage. But the owl wasn’t finished with me yet. After spending the next 10 minutes engaging and disengaging in similar fashion, I finally realized that this particular owl was in it to win it, and death was a small price to pay. I needed to seed the ground and live to fight another day. The

problem with this, of course, was the idea of giving my back to a relentless owl who had so recently bloodied my head was not an attractive one. So, I waited for the most recent swoop to take the owl behind me on the trail, then facing the owl with sword at the ready I began my retreat with a brisk, backward shuffle. The picture in my mind was that of an Olympic fencer on the defense, but with even more yelling. If I was wearing a GoPro that day, I would be a star on YouTube for sure.

Being a seasoned owl-attack veteran, I know a few things I didn’t in my rookie season. If you are running through the woods in the Pacific Northwest in the winter, especially at dawn or dusk and you feel like someone hits you in the back of the head with a bat, it’s probably an owl protecting its nest. Pick up your toque or hat and get out of there. If you’re trapped in a multi-swoop situation, a stick is crucial. When it’s all over you can congratulate yourself for surviving the biggest emotional swing on planet earth without having a heart attack. Going from the peaceful serenity of “flow” to the befuddled shock of “OWL ATTACK!?!” in a wingbeat is not for the faint of heart.

Smart meals helps relieve IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition that can make eating challenging. When a person has IBS, certain foods can elicit painful digestion responses. By avoiding certain foods and leaning strongly on others, namely Low-FODMAP ingredients, it is easier to nd relief

and enjoy mealtime. When one person in the family su ers from IBS, it can be easier to adjust cooking accordingly for the entire household. Getting the entire family involved in mealtime can foster bonds and help family members spend time together. is recipe for “Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs” from “ e Complete IBS Diet Plan”

(Rockridge Press) by Amanda Foote, R.D., is one way to have all hands on deck when preparing a satisfying meal that should not trigger discomfort for people with IBS. Increase the recipe accordingly depending on the number of diners.

Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs

Serves 2

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tablespoon dried oregano

Grated zest of 1/2 lemon, plus additional for garnish (optional)

2 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Nonstick cooking spray

½ cup mixed yellow and red bell pepper chunks

½ cup zucchini chunks

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1. Soak two wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, and lemon zest (if using). Add the chicken and stir to coat the cubes. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray. Set aside.

4. Skewer the marinated chicken, bell pepper chunks, and zucchini chunks, and place the skewers on the baking sheet.

5. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the oven to broil and broil the kebabs for 2 minutes on each side, watching them carefully so they don’t burn.

6. Garnish the kebabs with more lemon zest (if using).

COMPETITION, FROM PAGE 1

the . Engineering major Minh Le said he and two other engineering students developed the alarm, which can be installed easily in any car, that will let people know if someone tampers with the catalytic converter on their vehicles through an app on their phone and an actual alarm, itself.

“ is is a serious crisis,” Le said. “We wanted to see what we can do about this.”

During the competition, he and his engineering partner created a functional alarm, including a shield that protects it from burning up while the car is on, while the other three members of the team worked on the business plan.

Le said they went through 12 alarms, 10 sensors and three micro-controllers before perfecting their model.

Other members of the team worked on the business plan, identifying the cost per alarm for regular customers, which was $35, as well as the cost for low-income residents or victims of abuse, which was $17. e total cost to make the alarm is between $10 and $11. e business venture also included job opportunities for low-income residents and felons.

“So, we o er them important skills to learn,” said Tien Nguyen, who worked on the business plan.

Le said the competition has been very educational and fun for him, not only

because his team developed a catalytic converter alarm, but because they have a viable business plan, something he knew nothing about before the process. at is part of the goal for the competition, Oppenlander said. Not only do these projects require coming up with a useful product that will help improve the world, the students also learn about building a business plan, marketing the project, developing a sustainable pro t model and promoting their products.

“You know, these fundamental skills are something that everybody needs,” Oppenlander said.

During the competition process, businesspeople, entrepreneurs and community partners evaluated the students’ plans and business models and provided feedback. Students then pitched their projects to faculty, sta , students and judges at the trade-show display event last week.

Oppenlander said this is the 17th year SPU has hosted the competition, and this year more than 10 teams, including two from other universities, participated. At the end of the competition, the teams with the highest cumulative scores from the two phases won cash prizes.

Legislature adjourns after taking action on housing crisis, education funding, reproductive access and gun safety laws

Gov. Jay Inslee and legislative leaders ended the legislative session last week after achieving many of the goals Inslee laid out including go-big proposals on housing, increased funding for education and policies to address behavioral health, public safety, reproductive freedom and more.

“It’s been an extraordinary session,” Inslee said at a press conference. “Lives are going to get better because of massive housing investments totaling over $1 billion, new gun safety laws, the clean energy jobs we’re creating, and our investments in education.”

Inslee noted that legislators left one important job undone, however. Legislators are up against a July 1 deadline to approve an urgently-needed “Blake fix” that ensures drug possession isn’t decriminalized and also provides options for substance use treatment.

“I hope the successes of this session aren’t overshadowed by the way tonight ended with the failure of the Blake bill in the House. But what happened tonight was unacceptable. Decriminalization is not an option for me and it is not an option for the state of Washington. I expect legislators to deliver a solution.”

Housing: Legislators approved more than $1 billion to support housing and homelessness efforts in the next two years, matching the scale of investment for 2023–25 that Inslee proposed last December. Additionally, legislators passed about a dozen bills that will increase housing density, speed up permitting, reduce construction backlogs, and address historical barriers to

homeownership among people of color.

Behavioral health: Legislators approved a compromise version of the governor’s request legislation to reform the state’s competency restoration system. The state has experienced a surge in demand for competency services, and the legislation will allow the state to provide services in additional locations and increase diversion options for community-based treatment.

Education: The budget includes $2.9 billion in new state spending for K-12 education, the largest investment since the McCleary court decision.

Lawmakers approved continued funding for additional nurses, counselors, and social workers in schools and boosted special education funding by more than $500 million. The budget also includes funding to expand access to free meals for thousands more students.

Public safety: A bill to update the state’s police pursuit laws will expand the instances police can engage in vehicle pursuits. Additional funding for criminal justice training will support recruitment of new police officers across the state.

Gun safety: Legislators accomplished a decade-long effort to ban assault-style weapons. Washington becomes the 10th state with such a ban.

Legislators also approved the governor’s request legislation to require safety training and a 10-day waiting period prior to the purchase or transfer of a firearm, and the governor’s and attorney general’s request legislation to strengthen accountability for manufacturers and retailers.

Reproductive freedom: Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn

Village. “It’s great exposure for the businesses,” he said, adding even the restaurants, which can’t participate because of liquor licensing rules.

Thibeaux said a restaurant owner said even without hosting a wine-serving station, just having so many people in the Village draws attention to the restaurants, with the extra foot traffic generating more business at the restaurants from people hungry for a bite to eat.

“So, it usually ends up being a good night for a lot of people,” Thibeaux said.

The chamber hosts two Vino in the Village events a year, with the last one in December, and the chamber typically sells between 550 to 600 tickets.

“We try to balance the number of tickets to the host sites we have,” Thibeaux said, adding the event usually features 16 wineries.

Some businesses host more than one winery depending on the venue’s size. The upcoming event will include 13 independent businesses and 16 wineries.

“The ideal scenario is to sell out or get super close to a sell out,” Thibeaux said. “If we can do that and give good exposure to all the businesses, then that’s a successful night for us.”

Thibeaux said, beyond Vino in the Village, the

Roe v. Wade, the governor and legislators have taken several actions to protect abortion care rights and access to reproductive care in Washington state. Legislators approved bills to strengthen data privacy for patients, shield providers and patients from legal action by out-of-state entities, and a bill to remove cost-sharing for abortion care services. Legislators also approved funding and legislation to support Inslee’s efforts to purchase and distribute mifepristone in case the U.S. Supreme Court upholds a ruling by a Trump-appointed judge in Texas to repeal FDAapproval of the medication.

Climate implementation and funding: In recent years, the governor and legislators have passed historic, nation-leading policies related to clean energy, clean transportation, clean buildings, and a cap on climate pollution. Legislators approved four Inslee proposed bills focused on implementation to improve coordination of clean energy project siting, improve transmission planning, incorporate climate change planning into the state’s Growth Management Act, and strengthen the state’s clean energy workforce development efforts and establish a Climate Corps.

The state’s new cap-and-invest program launched earlier this year, and the legislature’s 2023–25 budgets invest more than $2.1 billion in program revenues for a range of climate-related investments including charging infrastructure, electric ferries and trucks, community-driven grants to improve air quality in overburdened communities, and assistance for lower-income households to transition to heat pumps.

chamber is working on many other projects and events, some just for members, such as a gardening class at the Magnolia Garden Center, and some for the entire community. He said the Reimagine Magnolia Village beautification project has hit its goal for phases 4 and 5. Now that the committee in charge is close to finishing, attention will be turned to annual maintenance fundraising.

The chamber is also hosting conversations with candidates for the upcoming election, which includes City Council candidates from districts 6 and 7 and the County Council, and the organization will submit questionnaires to candidates with questions from a business perspective.

Thibeaux said the chamber is expanding its organization beyond the business sector. He said people who want to become involved in the community and advocate in a small way can join the Chamber of Commerce as individuals; they don’t have to own a business to be a member anymore.

“A lot of what we do is enhancing our community, like the beautification committee project,” Thibeaux said. “It’s a way to have a little bit of influence in our community.”

Thibeaux also invites residents interested in more information about the chamber and what it does to schedule a conversation with him at jason@discovermagnolia.org.

e right and wrong ways to plant spring bulbs

April is the time when the Skagit valley explodes in rainbows of da odils and tulips (and cars driving to see same) for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. is year there are four public display gardens including a new one – Tulip Valley Farms, which really has two sites, with many new activities. Display gardens require a ticket. Visiting the growers’ elds is free, but please keep your wheels and feet out of the plantings while taking your pix.

It’s a beautiful site, especially on a weekday morning or late afternoon – particularly a drizzly one, when you’ll have some more elbow room. A good cloud cover will add drama and make the colors pop even more. To see what’s in bloom, check out this bloom map https://www. visitskagitvalley.com/ skagit-valley-tulip-festival-bloom-map/.

ese display gardens create new designs every year, from living rivers and organic mosaics to intricate shapes made of spring owers. Oh, to have such a blank slate! Imagine the sublime combinations I could create.

But no, I am decidedly not starting from scratch. Every fall, I’m amazed about how many bulbs I ordered and their inverse relationship to the free space in the garden. I’m shoe-horning crocus and species tulips and small narcissus where I can under existing perennials and shrubs and relegating larger bulbs in pots.

And unlike planting perennials and shrubs, which are typically leafed out and often owering when purchased, you can’t see the plants yet. It’s a bit of a guess as to what it will look like when it emerges.

Sometimes a happy accident creates

beautiful combinations that t right in, and other times, it looks like it was planting by mushroom-addled gnomes.

My favorite uses of bulbs are, in order:

• large drifts, planted like currents of a river (if more than one type, keep currents consistent)

• tufts of the same bulb repeated in strategic spots (a corner, around a tree, under a deciduous shrub). You’ll see this in many parks and arboreta.

• in pots – lets me move them as needed.

I like to make colorthemed ones.

Here’s what I’ve learned about how to place them:

• Plant perennial bulbs in places where their dying foliage can be covered by emerging plants or existing evergreen shrubs, and they won’t be disturbed.

For instance, I have a host of narcissus (da odils) and muscari (grape hyacinths) under our Italian plum tree. ey don’t mind growing among the tree roots and it’s easy to remember they are there and to fertilize with bulb food occasionally, and. I don’t have a groundcover for them, but I look at it as a rustic area, so I don’t mind.

Pro Tips for choosing bulbs, which are on order in a lot of online catalogs already

Smaller narcissus, like N. “Tete a Tete,” make a more graceful exit in a visible spot than larger “Ice Follies” and “February Gold.” For perennial tulips, look for species tulips, which are low growing, or Darwin hybrid tall tulips and give them the sunniest, most well-drained spot you have.

• Plant annual bulbs in open beds with

few players, so it’s easy to remove and replace as needed.

e Skagit display garden growers rip up those displays every year when the bulbs go dormant. In a new spot, you could still do the same if you had, say one evergreen perennial groundcover, like carex or festuca, with spaces in between for tulips followed by a summer annual, like geraniums or dahlias.

Another great spot for them is in your veggie bed – if you have room between your fall and spring veggies, dedicate some space for tulips!

I can’t imagine if I had to nd all the tulips planted in my parking strip, which is why now I’ll have random singles – sole survivors – pop up, like an exclamation point, that don’t match anything else around them. (I usually snip them for bouquets.)

• Plan color echoes with their neighbors. My red species tulip is opening right

next to the emerging burgundy foliage of the Itoh peony.

• Order fewer types, plant as many as can t, close together.

Even a small clump, well-placed, can make a big statement, like 10 purple hyacinths under the mailbox. For some reason I planted both blue and violet anemones in that same parking strip, and while charming, they are all bundled together, which wasn’t quite the idea I had in mind.

• Place taller-growing bulbs in the back or, if viewed from all directions, in the center. Why are my “Gypsy Rose” hyacinth behind the geranium Narcissus?!

• Mark your bulbs

Use labeled markers, a ring of diatomaceous earth or stones, a clump of summer annuals or keep an excellent map. Ask me why….

What are your favorite combinations?
