Fish, Fur & Fowl

by Ed Oldham

WET WEATHER WATERFOWL The abundant rains we have been having over the past month have sure made the waterfowl season a good one so far. ‘Blue’ bird days have just not been very common since the opener in October, and local hunters are reaping the benefits.

It hasn’t been uncommon, the last couple of years, to have some popular areas all dried up waiting on rains to give those areas a little standing water, but this year has been completely different. Driving around, you can see standing water in fields loaded with ducks or geese. The Skagit Flats are no exception.

This is the time of year where you will see giant flocks of snow geese making their way south and the Skagit Basin provides them with a much needed rest area.

The good news is the temps have been pretty mild so they will stay around a bit longer before continuing south.

I’ve had a report from a good friend who said these flocks are loaded with juvenile birds which will pretty much set their wings into most any decoy spread.

Granted, the larger the spread the better your chances of getting the larger flocks to set, but there have been plenty of birds flying around.

In the mix you will also see some Canadian geese.

These birds, however, can be a bit warier than their white cousins, but they are notably bigger and harder to bring down. This is where the larger 3-½ inch magnums, loaded with larger heavy shot, come in handy.

The problem then becomes when small snow geese or even a nice set of ducks come into gun range, these bigger loads can really tear them up.

I like to go out with my pump shotgun loaded with lighter loads for the first two rounds with a heavy one last. This will make it a bit quicker to swap out loads. I do this also because usually by the time I squeeze off the first two rounds, whatever I was shooting at is a bit farther away and will need the extra range a larger magnum round can give you.

moisten the ground and a decent wind to mask your noise is a great combination. Now, if the snow levels would have dramatically dropped, this would have been a perfect opening weekend.

I didn’t hunt with my rifle this year but I know quite a few who did and they reported this was a pretty good season, all things considered. Having no major forest fires this year helped out a lot.

Listening to them talk about the number of small bucks they spotted, coupled with the success for some, would indicate maybe next year will be even better. I won’t go speculating yet but I will keep my eyes open for some numbers, once the WDFW puts them out.

This past weekend marked the opening for Eastern Washington modern firearm elk season, running through November 6. It is a bit early to tell how the opening went but I have seen some nice elk pictures on some of the hunting forums I visit online. I was watching a video of a heard of elk crossing the Yakima River last week and it has me looking forward to the next opportunity I have to get back out that way.

Western Washington hunters will have their opener November 5. Hunting on the west side in these weather conditions can be quite daunting. The foliage is much thicker, and getting soaking wet is just part of the experience. The advantage they have is being able to harvest a larger bull. With a 3-point minimum in most areas, vice spike only for most eastern hunters, you could get a trophy bull.

I really do enjoy seeing animals in the wild. I will admit when I do see those big bulls while hunting in eastern Washington, I get a little jealous of those who hunt on the west side. With a season that runs 11 days, you also get a little longer to hunt as well.

For those of you still out on the water, you are true die hard anglers. I know winter crab is open now through the end of December but I have not heard from anyone about how they are doing.

Ducks, as well, have been showing up in decent numbers. With the heavy rains they sometimes come in quick and low, giving you little to no warning. This is one reason it is so exciting to be a water fowl hunter.

The only advice I can give for this situation is to always scan the horizon.

The winter chinook season, in Marine areas 8-1, 8-2 and 9, opened November 1. With a 22” size limit and a two hatchery daily limit, you will have some opportunities. Also, with these areas, you can expect to get some protection from the weather unless we get some strong southerly winds.

Anyone who knows me knows I love duck dogs, and this is the time of year when all their training pays off. A good dog in action is a great thing to see and having a partner who will always be there to keep you company makes the days more enjoyable. My dog is well past his prime and no longer hunts. I just can not find it in my heart to get another to replace him, so I rely on my friend’s dogs.

No matter if you hunt or fish this time of year, I would love to feature a picture in the paper or just share your story. If you have any reports, pictures, questions or comments please email me at: whidbeyfishfurandfowl@gmail.com. I really enjoy hearing from you. A quick shout out to the Fishing club on the south end.

I really would have liked to come and speak with you again but my work schedule just doesn't afford me the time. Keep on sharing the information. Until next time, be safe and be seen.

This year’s modern firearm deer season looked to be a great opener, even with the threat of a major wind storm which kept some hunters at home. Those who did get out were more than delighted to see the weather reports were just a little off. A nice shower to

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

A recent article by Caitlin Dewey in the Washington Post references a study of a thousand white collar workers' e-mail activities during their work day.

The data report from Adobe indicated those questioned each spent more than four hours a day checking e-mails.

Being a self-employed guy in a one-man show has its advantages. Nobody asks me how many hours a day I check e-mail.

Nobody asks me how many safety violations I have had this month. Nobody asks me anything, except maybe the people using e-mails that go unanswered.

If asked, I might just tell the surveyor of unnecessary statistics that I write one e-mail a week, sent to thousands of people for whom I have no addresses.

Thanks ever so much for reading my weekly e-mail.

This hopefully makes you my weekly reader.

How exciting. Remember Weekly Reader?

My Weekly Reader It began in 1928 as My Weekly Reader, a weekly newspaper for elementary school children published by the American Educaation Press of Columbus, Ohio. Two decades prior to that, in 1902, Charles Palmer Davis, the founder of the publishing company, had started a paper for secondary school kids, called Current Events. Check Wikipedia for their very informative history of how these papers evolved. Suffice it to say, had it not been for the talents of a lady named Martha , Fulton, a graduate of Wells College and a personal friend of the wife of the publisher, this wonderful addition to our childhood may not have been.

Whidbey Weekly According to Wikipedia, “Harrison Sayre, who became president of the American Education Press while remaining managing editor of My Weekly Reader, gave Martha Fulton the major credit for the newspaper's popularity.

In his memoirs, Sayre quoted Gertrude Wolff, another editor who shared an office with Fulton: 'As I had had some editorial experience, she at times sought my advice on minor details, but the conception and execution of those first issues were hers alone. With her imagination, enthusiasm, intuitive understanding of a child's world, she sensed what would appeal to her young readers. Her very personal stamp on the new publication distinguished the succeeding issues during her years as editor.'"

Given my memories of third grade are limited to learning cursive and trying to kiss Donna Robleto in a little red wagon, my certainty of the contents of My Weekly Reader, delivered every Friday afternoon to our class, is suspect.

However, I vividly recall in 1956 when our 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Herbert, led us in a mock election to find our preference for president.

This was part of the “Weekly Reader Student Presidential Election Poll” wherein subscribing teachers held the elections, tabulated results, and then sent them to headquarters to publish the national summary.

This survey of students in grades K through 12 began in 1956, when readers chose Dwight Eisenhower over our family’s 6th cousin, Adlai Stevenson. Dad had cautioned us not to vote for cousin Adlai as we might have to move from Columbus to Washington D.C. if Stevenson were elected. No way was I leaving Columbus. I had four square to play at recess.

Over the years, the Weekly Reader mock poll was conducted fourteen times, most recently in 2008. It is interesting to me those participating students voted for the person who became president thirteen out of fourteen times, with the exception being in 1992, when George H.W. Bush garnered more votes than Bill Clinton. Third-party candidate Ross Perot was not on the Weekly Reader ballot that year. Of course, I voted for Perot back then because his campaign theme song

was Willie Nelson's classic, Crazy, first made famous by Patsy Cline.

Although Weekly Reader has disappeared and evolved into Scholastic News, at this time of year, with our election just a few days away, I am thankful Mrs. Herbert planted those seeds of democracy in my lunch box sixty years ago.

Were it not for Mrs. Herbert and other teachers who helped distribute My Weekly Reader every Friday afternoon of my formative years, I may not have majored in political science in college or had a chance to become a precinct committee officer in Island County.

Kudos At last Saturday's fun-filled poetry slam at the Freeland Cafe lounge, we were honored to be entertained by several long-time local rhymers, movers, and shakers. Among those were Diane Watts of Greenbank who shared an inspiring poem about the pipeline issues in the Dakotas; Larkin and Van Van Horn who always impress with their tongue-in-cheek, read between the lines prose; local poet laureate Peter Lawlor whose quasi-bawdy entry delighted; Patti and John; Laura and Dina; newcomers Wendy and Mary; Coupeville Frank and his Federal Way guest, and our buddy Don who wrote a horrifying Halloween poem about me. Fortunately, he left the poem on the bar so I could self-destruct it later.

Friday Night Fun This Friday night, between 5:30pm and 8:00pm, stop by Comfort Winery on View Road in Langley for the South Whidbey Builders Association Annual Chili Feed and Auction. We have great fun every year raising money for scholarships for South Whidbey High School seniors. We always have great chili, baked potatoes, a super silent auction, a few live items, and a dessert auction. If you missed out on Halloween treats, this is the place!

Speaking of Laura Tarasoff, check out her first nationally published poem in Westward Quarterly Magazine, the issue for October 31. Her poem, entitled “Needlepoint” can be viewed at www.wwquarterly.com. I would reprint her poem here, but I might get Laura in more trouble than I already have. A couple years ago, a fellow poet unintentionally ran into Laura's brand new car after she had attended her first Whidbey Island Arts Council poetry slam event at Anchor Books and Coffee in Clinton. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing.

Fore Another attendee of our poetry fun last Saturday was long-time local Tom Wells. Tom is the real deal. After 40 years in Seattle and Mukilteo, Tom has opened his expert golf

repair shop in Clinton, just a few yards from Cozy's Roadhouse. Tom offers the finest Pro Line golf clubs for the money. He also provides superior golf club repair, and has for forty five years. Whether your clubs are in need of re-shafting, re-gripping, lengthening, replacing iron and wood heads, shortening, swing weighting, or adjusting lie angle, Tom is the man. Both Sam Snead and Fred Couples are among the many PGA pros who have relied on Tom to keep them on course.

For more info, call Tom at 425-493-8606 or via his web site at http://tomwellsgolf.com.

Tom is a star.

Parting thoughts The following e-mail suggestion from one of our Whidbey Weekly readers made me chuckle. Only try this at home, or you won't find it too funny.

“I'm passing this on because it worked for me yesterday. A doctor on TV said in order to have inner peace in our lives during this political campaign, we should always finish the things we start. Since we all could use more calm in our lives, I looked around my house to find the things I had started and had not finished. So, I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Bayley‘s, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Waliuminun scriptins, an a bxo a choclutz. Yuz haz kno idr how fablus I feeeel rite now. Sned this to all ur frenz who need inner piss. An telum u luv em.”

Bits & Pieces As one of the Lead Republican’s in the State Senate Coalition in Olympia, Senator Bailey and her counterparts have fought long hours this past session to prevent Governor Inslee’s proposals to raise taxes. They have defeated his Carbon Tax, they have prevented the Mileage Tax from even coming to a vote, and they will continue to fight the proposed State Income Tax.

Letters to the Editor Editor, Since the beginning of campaign season I have received one disgusting robocall, at least seven mail-outs and seen multiple television ads all touting Ms Bailey. Question to the voters: Who has that kind of money in a local campaign?

Where did it come from? Ms. Bailey can claim her campaign didn’t pay for all this, however that’s just an excuse...she knows the majority of her funding comes from special interests groups (will we be paying these groups back through our tax dollars with a wink and a nod from Ms. Bailey?)

Back in 2012 she did her first smear job against Senator Mary Margaret Haugen when she identified Senator Haugen’s age as a possible impediment to doing the job, gosh, I think that’s a form of discrimination! That, coming from a legislator is unconscionable, and should have made her quest for election disqualifying.

When I think about her accomplishments over the last years I think of education since she is the Chair of one of the education committees. Where is her leadership when it comes to funding K-12? As a tax payer, I resent having to be penalized by the courts because of the legislatures failure to do the right thing.

I believe we have the opportunity to start doing the right thing by doing the only thing a voter can do....vote for Angie Homola. Her involvement in politics began when she discovered a misappropriation of public funds. She felt so strongly about this she formed a grassroots nonprofit advocating for accountable government. It’s time to get special interests out of our government. I know Angie is one of those people who can get the ball rolling. It’s time “we the people” elect our own Senator, and get rid of the special interests group. It has to start now, it can start with Angie Homola.

Barbara Garnett, Camano Island

Editor, I’m a lifelong Republican and I am very disappointed with my party and Barbara Bailey’s smear campaign against Angie Homola. I’ve known Angie personally for over a decade as an outstanding community volunteer, parent and neighbor. She is the most knowledgeable, honest, hard working and dedicated public servant I have ever met. Angie deserves our vote!

Jim Bird (R) retired banker, veteran, and neighbor Oak Harbor

Editor, After another round of negative letters regarding our current State Senator Barbara Bailey, I am compelled to respond on a positive note.

She is none of these things written by these men.

Senator Bailey is a quiet, gentle woman, who only has the interest of her District 10 constituents as her main goal. She is an above average citizen that lives and pays taxes here on Whidbey just like all the other residents. She and her husband give back to the community in which they live all the other days that she is not in session in Olympia. This is better than her opponent, who is a Lobbyist and spends more than her quota in Olympia pandering to her and Democratic personal interest.

We will continue to need this Republican majority in the State Senate to prevent these Democratic Platform initiatives already on the 2017 agenda. Senator Bailey’s opponent supports these policies as she states at every forum.

We as Island County residents, District 10 constituents, and Washingtonians must look at the bigger picture of what is good for all the peoples of Washington State, not just our little neck of the woods. District 10 is a big geographic area, and as State Senator, Senator Bailey has to weigh in on every decision for all of Washington.

There may be negative votes within those Legislative sessions, what each of us as her constituents think may not be right for us, but the choice has to be for everyone involved.

Senator Bailey is working just as hard for us locals as she does for the entire State of Washington. This is a very different job than the State Legislator from District 10 who was promoted and won over the incumbent Democrat, or that of a County Commissioner who was fired and has since only worked as a Lobbyist in Olympia.

There is a gentleman, who refers to “a person (Senator Bailey) who can hardly ever be contacted.” Has he ever tried? Senator Bailey has one of the best Legislative Assistant’s in Olympia, therefore, I would doubt that he ever tried.

Thank you for sharing my letter with all the constituents and residents of District 10.

Joyce H. Amatuzzo, Oak Harbor

Editor, The barely visible periscope of the submersible-in-the-sewer had a clear view of its target when it launched missiles of libel and slime, because it could.

Certain organizations who self-identify to the IRS as “social welfare” entities or “trade organizations” (that includes unions) are exempt from disclosing donors because they are not primarily political groups or PACS. But when they implode into each other, identities become as diluted as the accountability for donations. The result of this nesting, a perversion unlike that of a cute Russian doll collection, is the bastardry known as “gray money”.

After a character assassination is published, how does one identify the dishonest broker; the faceless liar who smears, or the unknowing candidate? Just wait for the disclaimer.

Angie Homola does not need or issue disclaimers. But Barbara Bailey does, and did!

We deserve as State Senator the candidate who has the superior qualities of character, integrity, currency of an advanced devotion to the needs of the community at large as well as to each member. I have witnessed her unscheduled carve-out for a personal intervention with an individual fraying grip on sanity could have been tragic.

The out-of-State PACs and their corporate Fagins have to long held us in siege.

We deserve deliverance. We deserve Angie Homola.

Cyril Greig, Oak Harbor

Editor, Barbara Bailey is the type of politician we need in Olympia.

Remember when Ronald Reagan ran for president so many years ago? His message of hope and of a positive future was just invigorating!

This year it’s so easy to get caught up in the mudslinging, the lying, and the dirty politics.

We would too often rather talk about things that have nothing to do with the issues we face or the person asking for our vote than actually digging into who they are as people and what they’d do for us once they’re in office.

Well, Barbara Bailey is that different type of person that reminds me of the Reagan days.

She’s positive, always has a message of hope, and never stops working for a better Washington State.

Every year since she first ran for the state house of representatives, I’ve been delighted to cast my ballot for Barbara. This year is no exception. Even though I don’t like the choices in our presidential election, I am most definitely going to the polls to make sure Barbara gets re-elected to Olympia.

We need more women and men like her fighting for us and I’m going to do all I can to make sure she gets elected again this year. I encourage you to do the same.

Phil Holdsworth, Freeland

Editor, When Angie Homola was an examiner-inspector in the Island County Planning Department (2001-2004) she had nothing but praise from her boss until she discovered and pointed out that department officials were circumventing standards that protected Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. You would think she would be commended for looking out for the public’s interest, wouldn’t you?

But no. She was reprimanded for insubordination, and for months thereafter she lived with workplace hostility and retaliatory false accusations about her work that were placed in her personal file.

When Angie ran for County Commissioner in 2008, she requested that the public copy of the file be destroyed to prevent her opponent, Mac McDowell, from using the false charges against her. Request denied, and sure enough, McDowell did that.

But she defeated him, and became one of the best county commissioners Island County has ever had, improving the quality of life for all residents, instead of serving only the business community.

That’s a clue to why the grossly misnamed Good Government Leadership Council has flooded the district with ads and flyers trashing Angie on behalf of Barbara Bailey.

The ads say Angie raised county taxes 13 times, but they fail to mention that the taxes were for things like clean water, emergency response, law enforcement, fixing rotting infrastructure, and upgrading county offices.

They don’t tell you that Angie and her fellow commissioners cut the budget by 20 percent and saved the county from insolvency.

Meanwhile, Barbara Bailey, who so far has served business interests such as payday lenders bigtime, voted to raise the gas tax 12-cents a gallon, making Washington’s gas tax the second highest in the nation. Guess how much of that 12 cents is returned to the 10th District to improve our quality of life? Six onehundredths of a penny.

Investors Should Avoid “Great Expectations”

Apart from death and taxes, few events in our world are consistently predictable – and investment returns are definitely not one of them. What can you, as an individual investor, do to cope with the ups and downs of the financial markets and make progress toward your long-term goals?

To begin with, you should be aware that the financial markets have fluctuated greatly – daily, monthly and yearly – over the past three decades.

Overall, though, the financial markets trended upward, as measured by major indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S & P 500.

Of course, as you’ve no doubt heard, past performance can’t guarantee future results.

What was responsible for this long upturn?

Most experts cite several factors: sharp declines in inflation and interest rates, vastly improved worker productivity (largely brought on, for at least a few years, by more advanced and efficient information technology), growth in emerging markets and a long run of strong corporate profits.

Can a generally positive investment environment continue in the years ahead? As mentioned above, it’s pretty hard to forecast the performance of the financial markets. And you can be fairly certain that the market volatility we’ve seen – those large price swings – will not disappear any time soon. So to help position yourself to better withstand these sharp movements, consider the following: Modify your expectations. Don’t count on high or even positive returns throughout all your years of investing. Try to “bake in” reasonable return expectations to your long-term investment strategy.

A financial professional may be able to help you with this.

Don’t make rash moves to “beat the market.” If the market doesn’t consistently yield double-digit returns, you might think that you need to take drastic actions, such as investing much more aggressively than your risk tolerance would normally allow. For example, you might be tempted to pursue some “hot” stocks that you heard about through a friend, co-worker, or one of the so-called experts on the cable television shows devoted to investing. But by the time you hear about these stocks, they may not be so “hot” anymore – and they may never have been so hot for you, given your individual needs, goals and risk tolerance. So, instead of ratcheting up the aggressiveness with which you invest, look for other investment techniques to help yourself advance toward your financial objectives.

Boost your investments in your retirement plans. Contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k), IRA and other retirement accounts. The earlier you start, the more years you’ll be giving your investments to potentially grow.

Be open to working longer. If you like your job, and you’re prepared to be flexible, you could gain some key benefits by working just a few more years than you had planned. Specifically, you can keep contributing to your 401(k) and IRA, and you also might be able to delay taking Social Security, thereby earning bigger monthly payments when you do start collecting your benefits.

Investing would be simple if you could always count on earning big returns. However, that’s not the case. And if the markets are indeed going to be somewhat unpredictable, then you’ll want to take a page out of the Boy Scouts’ handbook and “be prepared.”

friendly dances, so bring the kids and dance the night away, even when it’s cold and dark outside.

“This last phase of work requires us to shut down the only available slip at the Coupeville terminal,” said Assistant Secretary for the Washington State Ferries Division Lynne Griffith. “There’s never a good time to suspend service on a ferry route, but closing it for a weekend allows us to finish the repairs outside of the work week, and in time for Veteran’s Day travel.”

Western Heroes are Michael Licastro, David Licastro, Lorraine Newland, Larry Neubauer and David Malony. South Enders have been lucky to enjoy the music of these five talented, creative musicians in a number of different bands and venues over the years. The group plays danceable, eclectic and original music, featuring elements of rock, country, pop, ballads, and polkas.

Alternate Routes During the closure, Port Townsend/Coupeville customers should use the Edmonds/Kingston, Mukilteo/Clinton and Seattle/Bainbridge ferries as alternate routes. Customers traveling on those routes should expect longer wait times.

WSF will update Twitter and send ferry travel alerts with wait-time information throughout the weekend.

Vehicle Reservations WSF has blocked vehicle reservations for the Port Townsend/Coupeville route Saturday, November 5, and Sunday, November 6. Reservations also are blocked Monday, November 7, in the event unplanned delays require work to extend past Sunday night.

Langley Yearly Membership Meeting

Subirdia: Sharing Neighborhoods with Wildlife

The yearly membership meeting for the Langley Main Street Association (LMSA) will be held on Tuesday, November 15 at 5:30pm at the new Spyhop Public House on Second Street in Langley. Members and Langley residents are welcome to attend this informative meeting.

Welcome to Subirdia is a recent book by well-known researcher John Marzluff of the University of Washington. He and his student assistants have spent many years learning how a great variety of birds and other wildlife have a adapted to and thrived in populated human environments. He tells how human actions affect the birds and animals that live in cities and towns. From this he provides ten specific strategies everyone can use to make human environments friendlier for these natural neighbors.

“By practicing careful stewardship with the biological riches in our cities and towns,” Marzluff explains, “we can foster a new relationship between humans and other living creatures—one that honors and enhances our mutual destiny.”

Whidbey Audubon Society hosts Dr. Marzluff

Guest speakers will include Joe and JoAnn Quintana with information on the Dark Sky topic. Langley residents will soon be asked to vote on the type of street lighting for Langley.

The City is considering replacing all the city’s nearly 100 traditional sodium streetlight bulbs with LEDs, which will reduce power consumption and add longevity over the current bulbs.

Test bulbs were installed at Third Street and Park Avenue. The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board provided Langley a grant that will cover the installation cost for the city.

Come learn about the work LMSA has accomplished this year and give input for future projects.

Setting the Record Straight: Angie Homola works for us!

You may have received the mountain of negative mailers or have seen the negative television ads funded by Barbara Bailey and her corporate backers this election cycle. They are everything that is wrong with today’s politics and I am compelled to set the record straight in regards to my record of service to our community.

The ads by my opponent, which are using 12-year-old unsubstantiated personnel files, blogs, and factually incorrect citations to mislead voters about my exemplary service record, are desperate and contemptible. I offer the following in response to Senator Barbara Bailey’s Campaign of Lies.

We can all agree that political campaigns have reached a toxic level in our country. To date almost $200,000 has been spent from corporate interests including oil companies, Big Pharma, and the insurance industry to smear my record and to get Barbara Bailey reelected. No wonder my opponent objects to campaign finance reform. After connecting the dots to Barbara Bailey’s 14-year “Corporate First” voting record, Homola I decided we need a state senator who will put “People First”.

I hope you will choose truth over lies.

Sincerely, Angie Homola 360-632-3016

ANGIE’S HISTORY OF EXPOSING CORRUPTION: Bosses Don’t Like Whistleblowers: From 2001-2004 I worked in Island County’s Planning Department. While on assignment, I discovered an abuse of public office by a sitting commissioner.

After exposing his hidden agenda I faced four months of harassment and the sabotage of my personnel file to fabricate false evidence for dismissal. I provided legitimate rebuttal documents, negotiated a layoff, and left the job voluntarily.

I Ran For Office Because I Discovered More Corruption: Four years later while working on a grant application to protect a public estuary, I discovered a misappropriation of public funds by the same commissioner. I realized we needed elected officials that serve the public not personal agendas.

I Was Elected Because Voters Saw Through The Lies: Four years later I ran for Island County Commissioner in 2008 against this underhanded commissioner – and won! My opponent tried to use my sabotaged personnel file against me but fortunately voters saw through the corruption and elected me to serve as county commissioner during the great recession.

My Record While In Office: As a Commissioner I cut spending during the recession by 20%, froze elected official salaries, and streamlined departments to maintain vital services for families, veterans, and public safety. I even donated $37,700 of my income to help pay for senior services, parks, 4H and animal shelters.

One last chance to Kitsch ‘n Bitch in Langley

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly It has been a winning recipe for six seasons, but alas, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts in Langley will hold its final Kitsch ‘n Bitch Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m.

The unscripted, live combination talk and cooking show began in 2011 and features host Sue Frause and her guests chatting around a kitchen table for the first half and cooking demonstrations for the last half. There is a house band and celebrity bartenders to help set the mood and it all ends with food samples. The ongoing series has proven to be a popular addition to WICA’s entertainment menu.

“I wish I could take credit for it, but it truly was WICA’s idea when the show started its six-season run in 2011,” Frause told Whidbey Weekly in an email. “According to WICA executive director Stacie Burgua, the idea started to percolate while the staff was planning new programs for the arts center. They knew that food was a hot topic, but thought it would be fun to inoculate it with variety and humor, so that’s where I came in to play.”

While doing the show, Frause has continued her “day job,” which includes traveling and being a contributor to RealFood Traveler and Around the World Travel Radio. She also writes three blogs: EatPlaySleep, Closet Canuck and Married to Martha. She said the unscripted format of Kitsch ‘n Bitch appealed to her from the start.

“I’m really bad at memorization, and have never used cue cards, so I fly by the strings on my apron,” she said. “It’s also fun to have a mixture

Kathy Reed/Whidbey Weekly Paintings and photographs from the collection of works at the Pacific NorthWest Art School in Coupeville line the floors of the classroom as school employees prepare to put them on display for a fundraising auction Saturday.

PNW Art School celebrates 30 years

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly People have literally come from all over the world to visit one of Coupeville’s hidden gems and this Saturday all of Whidbey is invited to help that trend continue and grow.

The Pacific NorthWest Art School will celebrate 30 years of worldwide success at a fundraising gala, Pearls and Prosseco, from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday at its location at 15 NW Birch Street in Coupeville.

One hundred “pearls” from the nonprofit school’s collection are being put up for silent auction. Those attending will have an opportunity to bid on a variety of art, ranging from a collection of aprons produced by instructors each year to photography, paintings of all kinds as well as fiber art.

“We were started in 1986 with a $25,000 grant from the Coupeville Festival Association,” explained Lisa Bernhardt, the school’s executive director. “We were founded on the premise that we should have art all year round.”

The school began by offering classes for fiber arts and soon added photography and painting workshops. Today the school offers about 80 different workshops a year and ends up holding about 55 of those annually.

“We have about 500 students a year and about 85-percent of those students come from off-island,” said Bernhardt. “We get students from all over the U.S. and out of the country.”

The school, which has an operating budget of about $300,000 per year, pays for about 70-percent of its funding through tuition. The remaining 30-percent is raised through various means, such as the upcoming gala.

Because it has earned a stellar reputation in the arts community Pacific NW Art School is able to bring in top notch instructors.

“You bring in extraordinary instructors and extraordinary students follow,” Bernhardt said. “We have had students from Tasmania, Australia, Canada. And people on Whidbey Island don’t even know we’re here.”

It’s a hidden gem on Whidbey that does a fair amount to stimulate the local economy. Bernhardt said the school brings in approximately $300,000 a year to the local economy. But it does more than that, too.

“We offer a scholarship to a graduating high school student each year, we’re a gallery where local artists can show their work, we have

Kathy Reed/Whidbey Weekly Lisa Bernhardt, executive director of the Pacific Northwest Art School, holds up one of the custom designed aprons created over the years by instructors. The aprons will be for sale in a silent auction to be held Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the school in Coupeville.

an art library and we have an in-house art supply store of all donated items that we sell at garage sale prices,” Bernhardt said. “We want to get it back into local hands so they can use it to create their own pieces of art.”

The school caters to mostly adult students, but joins in community events for all ages whenever possible. Most students are over 55, said Bernhardt, and the majority of them are women.

“But we’re always mindful of the next generation,” she said. “The younger generation now is so engaged online in things like YouTube, for instance. We’re looking at creating classes in film editing or other media to engage a new generation of people in the arts.”

Bernhardt believes the school’s location is another thing that appeals to students and instructors alike.

“We have a National Geographic photographer who has been coming here for several years because he loves the community, he loves the sense of place he feels when he’s here,” she said. “Just the beauty of the area is inspiring. The Reserve is a huge factor in our appeal.

Really, it’s like a postcard everywhere you go here.”

The school operates with a regular staff of three, only one of those positions is full-time. There are two classroom spaces that can be used as one large classroom if needed. They often rent space to accommodate their workshops. Bernhardt said her wish list would include one day having a campus where there could be dedicated spaces for fiber arts, painting, mixed media or photography.

In the meantime, Bernhardt said she appreciates what the school has been doing for three decades and hopes the next three decades will continue to inspire people on Whidbey Island and around the world.

The last show will take place Saturday in Langley.

“This is a happy place. People have told me it has changed their lives,” she said. “I feel like we’re a steward of something important. This school is like a living, breathing entity and it’s fun to be a part of that.”

There is no charge to attend Saturday’s event, but there will be a cash bar, so those attending must be 21 and over. More information is available online at www.pacificnorthwestartschool.org.

KITSCH continued from page 7 of personalities, cuisine and music - three things a lot of folks are interested in. You can’t really fail with those ingredients.

“I love the spontaneity of it and not knowing what’s going to unfold during each episode,” Frause continued. “It’s unscripted and live, like working without a net. I also loved that the audiences responded” Frause said the hardest part of doing the show over the years has been helping her guests overcome their shyness.

“Many home cooks and chefs are good at what they do, but cringe at the thought of being on stage,” she said. “I try to make it as comfortable as I can for when we are chatting around the kitchen table, and also the special “cocktail of the evening” served by our guest bartenders seems to loosen things up.”

But, according to Frause, the time has come to close the kitchen.

“I’m pretty savvy at knowing when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em,” she said. “We’ve had a good six-year run with Kitsch ‘n Bitch, and I didn’t want to wait until the seven-year itch attacked (even though it rhymes with kitsch and bitch).”

For the final show, Frause is bringing back two of her favorite guests.

“Langley resident Peter Miller, who owns a Seattle bookstore, is preparing a seasonal dish of cauliflower, chanterelles, pancetta and prunes topped with breadcrumbs and parsley - perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving meals,” she said.

“Cynthia Nims of West Seattle, a culinary consultant and food writer, will prepare an oyster and celery root bisque, also ideal for the holidays.”

The house band for the evening will be Whidbey Island group Secrets, and Nancy Nolan will perform at the Zech Piano Bar before the show and during intermission. Celebrity bartenders for the evening will be Gene Felton (also known for his turns as Julia Child) and his wife Tamar. David Gignac will reprise his role as the announcer.

From the show’s start with just 30 people in the audience six years ago, Kitsch ‘n Bitch continued serving up a winning format and the show caught on with audiences, according to Frause.

She expects the finale will draw a packed house.

“It should be a very fun evening, with some surprises and giveaways,” said Frause.

For more information and to purchase tickets, go to www.wicaonline.org.

Monster Mash 2016 About 80 zombies crawled their way from the Whidbey Playhouse to Traders Village on Midway Blvd. in Oak Harbor last Saturday as they participated in the fourth annual Midway Monster Mash and Zombie Crawl.

Overall more than 300 people, many of them sporting their Halloween costumes, took part in trick or treating, games and activities at Traders Village. The event featured live music by local band Yesterday's Wine, and games sponsored by community groups and Midway Blvd. businesses. Prizes were awarded for "Best Zombie" and also for "Best Scream."

This year's event was put together by community volunteers and some participating merchants.

Life Tributes Andrew Francis Hiblar Our Dad, Andrew Francis “Andy” Hiblar was born November 23, 1921, and passed away peaceably October 22, 2016 at Orchard Park residence with his wife, Billie, at his side.

Dad was a long time Oak Harbor resident, commencing with two earlier billets at NAS Whidbey, and continuously from 1960 until 2013.

Dad, a first generation American, was born in Frederickson, WA and grew up on his parents’ homestead there. His parents, eldest brother, Steve, and eldest sister, Mary, had immigrated from what was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and is now the Slovak Republic. His father and his father’s brother-in-law arrived in this country in 1906, with his mother and elder siblings not being able to come until 1913. Dad grew up bilingual in English and the Slovakian dialect of Czechoslovakian, and commented that he would fall asleep at night listening to his parents’ conversations in Slovakian, fascinated with the beautiful way his father phrased his comments.

Dad graduated from Bellarmine High School in June, 1940, and enlisted in the Navy the following October. During World War II, he saw duty in Alaska, San Diego, Tennessee, Florida, and Majuro in the South Pacific. During the Korean War, he participated in two tours aboard the USS Princeton and one tour aboard the USS Kearsarge. After retiring from the Navy as a Chief Petty Officer, he worked for Civil Service at Ault Field, Whidbey Island, from 1963 until 1982. Dad was an avid bowler and bowled on three teams until he was 88.

Dad was a member of St. Augustine’s Parish from 1960 until he moved to Bellingham in 2013. He was a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus and served as Grand Knight. Dad was preceded in death by first wife, Beverly; by his sisters, Mary, Emily and Elizabeth; and his brothers Steve, Joey, John, and Tony.

He is survived by his wife, Billie; his children Eugene, Linda (Steve King), Drew, Tom (Lynn Hiblar), and Michelle (Tim Thomas); his brother Bill; his six grandchildren, Ryan, Trevor, Nathan, Heather, Chad and Madison; and his three great-grandchildren, Taylor, Connor and Katelynn.

A funeral mass was held October 31 at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Oak Harbor at 10 am, with military honors following the service.

Robert Louis Barnett Robert Louis Barnett died unexpectedly at his home Sunday, October 23, 2016 at the age of 78.

He was born July 24, 1938 in Chicago, IL to Louis and Anne (Slessinger) Barnett. Bob attended Lane–Tech Catholic High School in Chicago for 2 years until his parents re-located to Round Lake, IL where he graduated from Round Lake High School in 1956.

Bob was drafted out of high school into the Army where he served overseas in Germany as a RadioRelay and Carrier Attendant. He was an expert rifle and carbine sharp-shooter. He was awarded the Medal of Good Conduct.

After his honorable discharge from the Army, Bob went to work for National T Co. as Produce Manager.

Bob married Judith Kristoffersen March 30, 1960.

He continued in the grocery business until 1979 when he relocated to Whidbey Island with his second wife, Katheleen Hudson (Durkee). Bob worked at Dakota Creek in Anacortes until 1987 when he went back into the grocery business working for Safeway.

He retired from Safeway in 2008.

Bob is survived by his Children, Catherine (Richard) Fakkema of Oak Harbor, Blane (Laura) Barnett of Richmond, IL, Kimberly (Brian) Dorn of Salem, WI, and Steven (Sarah) Barnett of Oak Harbor. He has 10 grandchildren who were his pride and joy and 1 nephew, Michael (Jessica) Thornton and 1 great nephew and one great niece. Bob was preceded in death by both his parents, Louis and Anne Barnett and his sister Gladys Thornton.

She retired from the Lake Elsinore Unified School District in CA. In 2003, she moved to Whidbey Island in Washington State to be with her son and his family.

During the 90’s she was very active with the Vista Women’s Club where she was chairman of the Environmental Committee whose purpose was to educate young children about protecting our environment. She was given a plaque from the U.S. Forestry Department for her work in this area. She was an honorary member of the Lion’s Club before women were allowed to join.

Carol survived Breast Cancer and took care of her Mother in her final years as her Mother was confined to a wheel chair with Arthritis and also battled Alzheimer’s. In 2004, she survived the terrible death of her only child, Darryl.

By Carey Ross The Accountant: Ben Affleck plays a number cruncher on the autism spectrum who moonlights as a vigilante because I guess he was jealous he didn’t get to solve any math equations in "Good Will Hunting."  (R • 2 hrs. 8 min.)

Boo! A Madea Halloween: Tyler Perry, the most prolific human on the planet, reprises his role as Madea, who must this time keep an eye on a group of teens all the while fending off ghouls, freaks and things that go bump in the night.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 43 min.)

Deepwater Horizon: I was wondering when Hollywood would get around to turning one of the worst man-made environmental disasters of our time into an action thriller, and now I wonder no more. I’m willing to give this one a pass, however, because it was directed by Peter Berg, the man who gave me both "Friday Night Lights" and "The Last Seduction."  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 39 min.)

Doctor Strange: Marvel continues to be the undisputed ruler of comic-book adaptations, and this one, which introduces us to their most New Agey hero, Doctor Strange, will further burnish their crown. All I’ve gotta say is when you can entice four recent Oscar nominees (Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Rachel McAdams) to star in your superhero movie, you’re doing everything right.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 55 min.)

The Girl on the Train: I read this book– billed as the next "Gone Girl"–in one day, not because it was great, but because it was good enough and I had a day to devote to it.

That pretty much sums up how I feel about the film adaptation: probably not great, but it stars Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux and was directed by Tate Taylor ("The Help"), so it’ll be good enough to devote a couple of hours to.  (R • 1 hr. 52 min.)

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

DRINK UP THE WARMTH!

Dishing about food and all the wonderful ways it can be made and enjoyed is what this column is all about, right? But I am remiss in including the very things which help wash down the meals. So this time, I want to discover a few ways we can warm ourselves over the coming months, by way of a steaming cup of something! Coffee is lovely and can be prepared in many ways. Likewise, hot tea, with all the flavors and kinds available, are surely enticing.

I have an affinity for hot tea. I love being able to smell the delightful aroma as I bring the cup up to take a sip. Peppermint, chamomile, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, black tea, green tea, rooibos (red bush) tea – all of these are some of my favorites. There are teas in every flavor imaginable, and some in flavors one can't even imagine! Peach cobbler flavored? Blackberry Acai? Well, these were two flavors I had not heard of, but I’m fairly certain some of you already knew about them. Tea aside, we just have to walk through a grocery store to realize the wide variety we have and how many options there are in order to subdue a chill. There are all kinds of hot chocolate flavors and coffees…I could be here for days talking about coffee. But this just made me wonder what other places in the world like to drink to warm weary bones?

In Holland, Anijsmelk is apparently a classic of sorts, and many might consider it the perfect

www.whidbeyweekly.com

Whidbey Weekly

drink to end the night. It consists of milk infused with the sharp, all-encompassing flavor of anise.

Aniseed is steeped in milk to achieve this, and simmered merrily away on the stove with sugar or honey until all the flavors and goodness of each ingredient have mingled and melded to form a most soothing, flavorful drink indeed!

Api Morado or just api as it’s more colloquially known, is an exceptionally popular Bolivian drink made from purple maize, cinnamon, sugar and water. Its popularity is more common in the Andean highlands and it would stand to reason a piping hot, rich and comforting drink would be best served on a cold morning in the mountains. I imagine the corn lends itself so nicely to the overall feel of the beverage. It would bring about the richness it’s supposedly so well-known for, that’s for certain. While many people love api, there are those who warn the novice api drinker of the drink’s sweetness, and that it might not be for those who don’t have a sweet tooth.

Colada is an Ecuadorian oatmeal based beverage.

From what I understand, the oatmeal base of this tasty drink serves as a foundation upon which to build. Oats and fruit are the two building blocks and in its most ‘rudimentary’ form is comprised of water, oats, cinnamon, brown sugar and a fruit called ‘naranjilla.’ Some people add milk to this drink, while others include completely different fruits instead of naranjilla. Pineapple, passion fruit, or even papaya are used as equally tasty substi-

tutes. Some people will add herbs and spices to theirs. All in all, the fruit is pureed and simmered with water, cinnamon sticks and sugar for a half hour. It is then strained, blended with oats that have been soaking in water, strained again and boiled until it thickens and no longer tastes of raw oats. It sounds so wholesome and hearty. I can’t think of a better beverage to treat oneself to on a very cold morning or evening. This is definitely one I will be trying very soon.

In the United Kingdom, there is hot toddy (or totty or tottie). This is an adult beverage made from liquor (whiskey typically, though other bases such as rum and brandy are used) mixed with honey (or sugar), water, tea and sometimes spices, depending on the recipe, all brewed together to create a fusion that will likely warm you faster than most other hot drinks.

Sungnyung is a Korean beverage made from the crust rice sometimes forms on the bottom of pans.

Water is poured over this crust and simmered away until the liquid is adequately flavored from the leftover rice. Apparently this drink dates all the way back to the 12th century, rendering it one of the most truly tried, tested and obviously well liked beverage there is. If you aren’t partial to sweetness, this warm drink is definitely one to try!

What about butter tea? Anyone up for it? This Tibetan drink is said to be an acquired taste for many visitors to Tibet, though I think the taste is likely one that is easy to enjoy. Its base of boiling hot black tea is mixed with butter (traditionally yak butter in Tibet), milk, and a pinch of salt. It doesn’t stop there though, because it needs to be churned. It's not actually as time consuming an endeavor as it might seem. In fact, you could just use a blender until the entire mixture thickens, or even an electric mixer and achieve almost identical results. What you are left with is a thick, warm, creamy drink that undoubtedly will fill your belly and soul on a chilly day.

Sure we could reach for our go to coffee, or pop over to our favorite café or hangout and order a large cup of hot chocolate. And why not? It’s all up to you how to turn up the heat in your drinks.

Though I suggest if you are going to be leaning towards a hot chocolate, make it yourself. I say this all the time, but I truly believe you can make

magic in your own kitchen when you research your recipes and get creative. Last year I made crock pot hot chocolate, and it went down more than well.

It was requested a few more times thereafter.

There are innumerable warm drinks from all over the world to try, and I highly encourage you to peruse the many ways in which the warmness of a beverage can cheer you, soothe you, comfort, and lift you, put some pep in your step or some serenity in your space. I am including a recipe for gingerbread hot chocolate, in keeping with the flavors available and the time of year. The recipe came from a site called www.abeautifulmess.com.

If you try it, let me know what you think. Please send in all your questions, comments, information and recipes because, as always, I’d love to hear from you so Lets Dish!

Gingerbread Hot Chocolate Gingerbread syrup 1 cup water 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup brown sugar ½ teaspoon nutmeg ½ teaspoon cloves (ground) 1 teaspoon ginger (ground) Hot Chocolate 2 cups of milk 3 Tablespoons gingerbread syrup 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 4 teaspoons sugar Combine syrup ingredients in small saucepan, mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn heat down and simmer on low for 15 minutes.

The mixture should thicken and becoming syrupy.

Remove from heat. In another saucepan warm milk on low, add sugar, cocoa, and syrup. Pour into mugs, top with whipped cream serve and enjoy!

This aura of personal power will make you stand out when insecurity and uncertainty befalls those around you, as may happen in your marriage or committed relationship on and after the 6th. Expect them to look to you for comfort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Avoidance is the probable driving factor behind your actions this week. You may find yourself shunning the undesirables of life instead of pursuing the desirable. Try not to let certainty about what you don’t like and no longer want crowd out positive thinking.

Surrounding yourself with upbeat people is a good tactic for staying on track. There is a bright side to every situation and keeping good company, especially on the 6th, will help you find it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) A number of strategies exist by which you may handle difficulties this week. The most useful of these is to speak up for what you want and approach your negotiations and requests with a positive frame of mind. Believe that your requests will be granted before you make them. By doing so, you won’t come across as defensive and angry. This greatly increases your chances of getting what you want, particularly on the 6th and 7th.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your relationships may undergo brief strain this week. You may feel that you’re not getting your fair share, raising a question not only of what the other person is able to give, but also of how much you are able to receive.

Better communication on the 4th has much light to shed on the matter. Be aware of tendencies to hide your true feelings, a behavior that can turn small problems into big ones.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In terms of setting your own priorities this week, your personal comfort and concerns will rank always behind the needs of the moment. This quick willingness to make sacrifices attracts supporters to you in whatever cause you choose to pursue. In this way you can accomplish more, and more easily, than you would otherwise. Sharing your knowledge on the 5th allows you to feel good about what you know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There are numerous ways of reducing the stress of events that don’t work out exactly as planned this week. Foremost among these is to salvage the good from your failures. Within every failure is the opportunity to become a more skillful player of the game of life, by

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Feelings of uncertainty and lack of clarity about what you really want from life are natural for you this week. It may seem that neither the things you have nor what you feel you can attain are satisfactory. In such weak moments, look around you for helpful people and circumstances to appear, especially around the 6th.

No one can solve your problems except you, but the stabilizing effect of outside support will help you to see things differently.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re in a position of great personal power this week. Use this time to tackle projects and get things done with minimal fuss. Problems are more easily solved now. Even so, there are factors at work making life harder than you’d like. One of these is the necessity of depending on people whom you really can’t trust to deliver for you. Guard your back with contingency plans should unreliable people fail you on the 6th-9th.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Demanding too much from yourself this week can easily create problems. In activities that involve group participation, be wary of convincing yourself that you’re not good enough to participate. In cooperative situations that require input from another, your high standards can make you come across as too demanding. Neither case necessarily reflects your true self. It’s just a phase you’re passing through, on the 6th and 7th in particular.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The quality of your week has much to do with the people around you. If they are in distress, your desires to make their lives better can consume too much of your time. If your efforts to help are unsuccessful, blaming yourself for the failure only brings your own spirits down and further diminishes your ability to do good. To avoid this downward spiral, be wary of making others’ problems your own, particularly on the 3rd.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) This week a more relaxed sense of time than is usual for you is probable, one in which your choices lean toward leisure and comfort. Your normal sense of perspective and detachment is likely to be temporarily absent. Greater than usual optimism is also possible, and you may find yourself planning for things that never happen. Time may also seem to pass quickly, especially on and after the 5th.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your ability to be a team player is this week’s major focus. If you are not at ease when working one on one with others, events could easily force you out of your comfort zone.

Should your ideas be challenged, it is helpful to remember that the matter in question is only the workability of the idea, not your worth as person. Keeping your ego out of the picture in this way makes the 5th and 6th more rewarding. © 2016, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved
