SUMMER SALMON ON THE WAY I consider us pretty lucky to live a stone’s throw or a quick drive away from the beaches of the Puget Sound. And when the odd years arrive, we get a chance to fish for Pink Salmon. These plentiful fish might not be the top eating fish of the five species of salmon that return to the local rivers, but they definitely are the salmon most first time salmon anglers get a chance to catch. The Pink Salmon, or “Humpy” as they are sometimes called, are two-year fish, and Washington State pink salmon return on odd years only. This strict two-year cycle is the main reason we do not see them return on any of the even years like the other four species of salmon. What these fish lack in taste is quickly made up for by their abundance and their willingness to come close to the saltwater shorelines, especially during the tide changes. When I say close to the shore I mean 10 feet from shore at times! The pinks are using the sand and gravel beaches to navigate along and help find the way back to their spawning river. This wonderfully close distance for bank casting eliminates the need for a boat and it gives young and older anglers a much higher than average chance of catching and landing a fresh, chrome bright fish. The pink salmon is also one of the most sought after for smoking. Their oily, delicate flesh takes on the flavors of a salt and brown sugar brine, or your secret recipe very well. I love Humpy years!

The state will give us a chance at all five salmon species this summer, although some of the seasons could be very short, so be prepared and ready when the opportunity comes.

Over the years I’ve had people ask me about the different names the returning salmon are called. Here are the most common names you might encounter when out fishing. The Chinook salmon is also known as a King or Blackmouth, and if the fish is over 30 pounds it can be called a Tyee. The Coho salmon are also known as Silvers.

Next is the primarily plankton/krill eating Sockeye, these fish are also called Reds because of the

bright red color they turn once they enter the rivers, and I have heard them occasionally called Bluebacks while they are still bright in their ocean phase. Many people consider the Sockeye to be the best eating of all the salmon. Pink salmon, like I mentioned above, are also called Humpys.

They get this nickname from the large arch shaped hump the male Pinks get when in the river spawning phase. Last but not least is the Chum salmon.

This big, thick shouldered bruiser of a fish is also known as the Dog salmon mainly due to the males getting large white teeth that protrude outward along the top and bottom of their jaw line during the spawning phase. If you hear the name “Silver bright,” this is also a Chum. I’ve seen fillets of salmon in the seafood display case labeled silver bright. The Chum salmon gets very little praise and recognition compared to his other swimming relatives. I have only caught one of these fish in saltwater and it was very tasty. On the other hand, I’ve caught lots of Chum salmon in the rivers when they were still fairly fresh, and they smoke up wonderful. The flesh is not as oily as some of the other fish, but when done right you would swear you were eating smoked chicken. Chum salmon are the last to arrive to spawn and seem like the first ones to die. I believe this is due to the short life cycle spent in the freshwater, their bodies just don’t get enough time as juveniles to build up a strong tolerance to freshwater so when they leave the salt and return as adults freshwater takes its toll very quickly. Knowing this, get after Chums in the river as quick as possible.

The peak of the Humpy run will be the middle of August, but we could see fish as early as late June.

July is when most of the marine areas will open for salmon so if you have not done so already pick up a few of these proven lures to catch Pinks. The “Buzz Bomb” is a sure thing, and a similar shaped casting lure that has done well in the past few years is called the “rotator.” The rotator is a locally made lure so they are not widely distributed at this time, but Oak Harbor Ace Hardware usually has some on hand. Pink is the go-to color for Humpys although chartreuse has been giving pink a run for the money in recent years. Pink wobbling spoons, pink spinners, and pink hoochies will all catch these hard fighting fish. These fish love to jump when they’re traveling the shoreline so watch for jumpers as an indicator to cast. Blind strikes are also very common, so keep casting and generally when there is one there are many. If you are limited on time to go casting, if at all possible fish one to two hours before and after low and high tide as the water movement gets these fish excited and brings them close to shore.

This is a great year to get the kids out for a salmon hook-up. I’ll be talking salmon all summer, we will discuss spoons,cutplug herring, darts and productive areas in Marine Areas 6 thru 9. I hope everyone had a successful and safe Lingcod season and were able to put some Halibut in the freezer also, because it will be a whole year before we can chase them in our local waters again. Salmon regulations can be confusing so pick up the new 2017-2018 regulations when they hit the street the end of June.

GOOD LUCK! and be safe out there.

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

There is so much on my mind right now, we may as well get going. Hopefully, you are wearing comfortable shoes. If you are texting as you read this, congratulations.

Are you?

Since so many folks seem to be in such a hurry to scream “prejudice” in today's world of assumptions, maybe we can settle this issue with a moment of levity. Thanks to the Wilsons of Sugarloaf Key, Florida for sharing the following political incorrectness: A customer asked, "In what aisle can I find the Polish sausage?"

The clerk asks, "Are you Polish?"

The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes, I am.

But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Or if I asked for some whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?"

The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Polish?"

The clerk replied, "Because you're in Ace Hardware."

Did you know?

QANTAS airline is an acronym for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services. According to the KLM website, QANTAS is the second oldest airline in the world, founded in 1920.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was founded in 1919. In 1920, pilot Jerry Shaw captained the first KLM flight, flying from London to Schiphol in a De Havilland DH-16. The KLM Group, which includes the wholly owned subsidiaries KLM Cityhopper, transavia.com and Martinair, currently employs more than 32,000 people.

The lawyer and the dilemma A lawyer, who had a wife and twelve children, needed to move because his rental agreement was terminated by the owner who wanted to reoccupy the home.

But the lawyer/husband/father was having a lot of difficulty finding a new house. When he said he had twelve children, no one would rent a home to him because they felt the children would destroy the place.

He could not say he had no children, because he could not lie. Of course, we all know lawyers cannot, and do not, lie.

So, the lawyer/husband/father sent his wife for a walk to the cemetery with eleven of their kids. He took the remaining one with him to see rental homes with the real estate agent. He loved one of the homes and the price was right.

The agent asked, "Mr. Vagnier, how many children do you have?"

He answered: "Twelve."

The agent asked, "Where are your other children?"

The lawyer, with his best courtroom sad look, answered, “They're in the cemetery with their mother."

MORAL: It's not necessary to lie, one only has to choose the right words.

Thanks to the Phreeland Fantom for sharing this jurisprudential jocularity.

Quote of the week Yesterday, my sister and I spoke coast-tocoast on our fiber optic devices. She was sharing her glee at not having to prepare a lesson plan, grade papers, or write exams over the weekend for the first time in fortysix years of teaching.

“I will always do nothing on Saturday and Sunday!” she stated in her emphatic southern accent.

For her birthday, I hope to get my sister a box of SOS pads to remind her – SOS-Sedentary on Saturday/Sunday.

Maybe I'll throw in this definition to really make her feel guilty.

“A sedentary lifestyle is a type of lifestyle with no or irregular physical activity. A person who lives a sedentary lifestyle may colloquially be known as a slob or couch potato. It is commonly found in both the developed and developing world.”

SWAM On Sunday, June 25, one can toe-tap and dance until the fiddlers and guitar pickers go home at the South Whidbey Acoustic Music Festival to be held at the Tilth Market, located off highway 525, south of Freeland and north of Bayview on Thompson Road.

At least I think that is the direction. What would I know? I've only lived here half my life.

The festival, now in it's 3rd year, features a potpourri of pleasantries, including “an eclectic mix of styles, from the down-home bluegrass sound of Mike McInerney, to the Americana and country/folk of the Joann Quintana Band and the Muse & eye, to Quinn Fitzpatrick’s expert finger style guitar picking.

Nick Toombs will return to the festival stage this year with his experimental style of guitar work that creates layers of sound and mood.

Festival newcomer Grant Fairbrother writes songs in a style that could be described as introspective pop, poetic and melancholic, with a hushed intensity.

In addition to the music, there are a number of additional attractions this year. Hahna Luna’s Fairy Princess will offer face painting and fun for kids. Madmat and Pernicious Pixie are slated to appear, bringing their colorful costumes and daring performance art that has pleased so many crowds at various events all over the island and elsewhere in the Seattle region. Cordula Hetland will provide felting crafts for kids.”

Deepening the Silence Within: Music for a New Humanity Whidbey Island Bank Helping Good Cheer Food Bank’s Summer Feeding Program South Whidbey, June - August: Want to buy some kids lunch this summer?

Once the final school bell rings in summer, many families begin to feel the extra pinch on their food budgets. There are also many grandparents who take on summer care of their grandchildren while the parents work.

This adds a big burden to families who already struggle to put food on the table.

Thanks to Whidbey Island Bank’s $5,000 Matching Grant, Good Cheer Food Bank will be able provide extra food to families during the summer months when school is out. With community support of the first $5,000, Good Cheer will be able to offer an additional 10 points for families with children under 18 living with them. This is an additional 8 – 14% worth of food!

With your donations being doubled, you can help a family provide extra meals that they usually get at school. Help our community’s children create fun memories of summer instead of only remembering hunger pains.

Open House at Historic Military Fort Seattle Pacific University invites the public to visit the Camp Casey Conference Center on Whidbey Island, a historic military fort built at the turn of the 20th century, during their open house on Friday, June 16, 12:00pm to 4:00pm.

The open house at Camp Casey will feature: Guided tour of the Colonel’s House, which is used predominately as a retreat space for SPU leadership and special groups. The tour begins with a historical talk by SPU Professor of History Bill Woodward, and Fort Casey Volunteer Battalion member Steve Kobylk will lead the tour. Tours are at 1:00pm and 2:30pm.

Tour of the Fort Casey Inn, a row of cottages formerly used as officer’s housing just before World War I. Rooms at the inn are now available for rent.

Admission to the “Sea Lab,” a marine biology teaching facility.

Tours of the barracks and mess hall.

Free admission to the swimming pool during the open house.

The Fort Casey State Park, adjacent to Camp Casey, will offer guided tours of the fort at 1:00pm and 2:30pm. The Admiralty Head Lighthouse located in the park will be open from 11:00am to 5:00pm.

Camp Casey, originally known as Fort Casey, opened in 1890 by the U.S. military.

Fort Casey, along with Fort Worden in Port Townsend and Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, became part of the “triangle of fire” to protect the entrance to Puget Sound. Within 20 years, Fort Casey was the fourth largest military post in Washington state, housing ten officers and 428 enlisted men.

Fort Casey was decommissioned after World War II, and SPU purchased the property in 1956. The buildings have been updated and renovated to house school groups, churches, nonprofit organizations, and outdoor education classes.

“Deep silence...is a necessary requirement for deep thought and self-knowledge which, in turn, are essentially creative in nature and are of vital importance in enhancing both intellectual and artistic pursuits.” ~Jane Dawson, Reflectivity, Creativity, and the Space for Silence; St Francis Xavier University Island Consort is tremendously excited to announce a new annual festival promoting contemporary composition: New Music on the Rock will launch in 2017 on June 18 at Whidbey Institute’s Thomas Berry Hall. This first year will feature an afternoon concert beginning at 2:00pm on the Chinook Lands and leading into the Hall, with works by area composers Neil Welch, Huck Hodge, Kit Mills and Stuart Dempster and will include eurythmy performances exploring eight types of silence

by Maiko Canard. Following the afternoon concert will be a Composers’ Forum (open to the public) in which participants will explore the themes of humanity and the creative spark, the role of silence in the process of creation and in listening, the relevance of new music and more. In the evening Island Consort will present a concert of works by Whidbey Composer Jerry Mader — the Composer-inResidence for this first New Music festival. The 7:00pm program will feature an oboe quintet, a piano quintet and a set of two vocal motets.

Entitled Deepening the Silence Within: Music for a New Humanity this 2017 launch festival examines themes of sourcing the creative flow from within, of honoring the land that sustains us (It is no accident that these concerts are being held on the precious Chinook land and in lovely Thomas Berry Hall!), how silence and stillness holds the center of truth and beauty in the midst of a chaotic world. Further, Island Consort honors the ways in which music—and all the creative arts—can bring us together in our common humanity, especially when conflict rages on the world stage. “We will first come together on the land just outside of Thomas Berry Hall,” said Sheila Weidendorf, founder and Director of Island Consort, “where musicians and movement will call us to the center of ourselves, and to the center of stillness between us. Maiko Canard in her movement exploration of the many kinds of silence will lead us into the hall, deeper inward as we then receive the music that ensues into our consciousness.”

Island Consort is a resident chamber music ensemble on Whidbey Island and is an umbrella program of Whidbey Island Arts Council, a 501C3, not-for-profit organization.

Island Consort regularly performs concerts that feature early music, chamber music of all eras and also produces an annual Women in Music festival in addition to this new annual series.

Admission is $20 for each concert or $35 for both. For more information, visit www. islandconsort.org or contact Sheila Weidendorf at sweidendorf@whidbey.com or (360) 320-2362.

Whidbey Ham Radio Operators To Participate In National Emergency Radio Test Ham radio operators from throughout Whidbey Island will be among thousands nationwide who will switch on their shortwave radios at remote locations to practice their emergency communications capabilities during an annual field radio exercise, June 24-25.

Island County Amateur Radio Club members will pitch tents, set up radio gear and hoist wire transmitting antennas in nearby trees at

Greenbank Farm to participate in the annual exercise known as Field Day, according to club President Jack Prendergast. Whidbey’s only radio club also plans to allow any interested visitors an opportunity to talk across the nation on one of the radios to demonstrate to the public how shortwave radio communications work.

Beginning Saturday morning, June 24, Whidbey hams, ranging from high school students to retired men and women, will take turns manning the club two-way radios around the clock at the emergency powered radio site, located at the south end of the farm’s overflow parking lot. The radio buffs will use voice, Morse code and digital modes to trade information reports with other operators at parks, shopping centers, schools and backyards across the nation.

“It’s easy for anyone to pick up a computer or smartphone, connect to the Internet and communicate,” Prendergast said. “But if there’s an interruption of service, such as might happen after a natural disaster like an earthquake, ham radio may become one of only a few communication links with the outside world. Ham radio can be set up almost anywhere in minutes and is separate from cell phone towers and the Internet.”

Prendergast said the public is invited to visit the radio camp site beginning at 11:00am on Saturday, June 24. Radio activities will continue throughout the night and end at 11:00am on Sunday.

“We’re inviting folks young and old to come see ham radio’s capabilities and learn how to get their own radio license before any disaster strikes,” Prendergast said.

The Whidbey radio club operated from a park near Coupeville last year and successfully contacted over 300 other radio operators around the nation as a means to test its communications capabilities during civil disaster conditions. The club also actively supports local communities and government agencies with communications support during special events such as parades and sports events, Prendergast said.

There are over 725,000 amateur radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world, according to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the hams’ national fraternal organization.Through the ARRL, ham volunteers provide free emergency communications for hundreds of state and local emergency response agencies nationwide.

Financial Gifts Can Help Dad for Years to Come

Father’s Day is almost here. Dad will probably like any gift you give him, of course, but this year, why not go beyond the ordinary?

By presenting your father with an appropriate financial gift, you can bring him some benefits that can keep on giving.

For starters, how about a back-to-school gift for Dad? If you have children, you may already be familiar with 529 plans, which many parents use to help their children pay for college. But 529 plans have no age limits, so there’s nothing stopping you from reversing the usual formula and opening an account for your father. While 529 plans are commonly used to pay for four-year colleges, the money can also go toward most two-year community colleges and trade schools, so if Dad has a future interest in learning about anything from anthropology to auto repair, the 529 plan you’ve established can give him the gift of knowledge and enjoyment.

As the owner of a 529 plan, your earnings can accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses.

(529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax, and a 10% IRS penalty on the earnings.) Furthermore, if you invest in your own state’s 529 plan, you might be able to deduct the contributions from your taxes.

Here’s another suggestion: Help Dad reach a distant goal. For example, if you know your father will be retiring in, say, 10 years, you could give him some type of bond that matures just when he retires. During those 10 years, he will receive regular semiannual interest payments, and when the bond matures, he’ll get the original principal back. He can then use this money to help fulfill a long-held dream – perhaps one of traveling the world or even opening a small business. Whatever he decides to do with the money, it will make a nice retirement gift.

If you’re giving Dad a corporate bond, make sure it’s “investment grade,” which means it has received one of the highest ratings for safety from one of the major bond-rating agencies. Investment-grade bonds are generally the least likely to default. If your father is in one of the upper tax brackets, he might benefit from a municipal bond, whose interest payments are exempt from federal income taxes and possibly state and local taxes, too.

(Some municipal bonds, however, are subject to the alternative minimum tax.)

Finally, you may want to help Dad plan his legacy. Although your father may be interested in what sort of legacy he will leave, he may not yet have taken any steps in this area – in particular, he might not have created a comprehensive estate plan.

You might consider giving your father some resources on estate planning, such as books or online articles. Better yet, though, consider setting him up with a consultation with a legal professional. It will take considerable time and effort to create the necessary documents, such as a will, a living trust, a durable power of attorney, and so on – and since the future is not ours to see, it’s best to take care of these tasks sooner, rather than later.

Father’s Day is just a blip on the calendar.

But by giving Dad some valuable financial gifts, you can help brighten all his days.

Whidbey Playhouse brings “A Few Good Men” to the stage

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly In its final production of the 2016-2017 season, the Whidbey Playhouse is hoping Oak Harbor’s strong military ties will help draw big crowds to see “A Few Good Men,” now playing at the community theater through June 25.

Written by Aaron Sorkin, “A Few Good Men” debuted on stage in 1989. It was adapted to a screenplay in 1992 and became an Academy Award-winning film starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson.

The story is familiar to many: Military lawyers defend two Marines accused of murder, uncovering a high-level conspiracy in the process.

“It’s really about what is morally right,” said director Kevin Wm. Meyer about the overall theme of the play. “It’s about what happens when you see that you have power and authority and how you choose to use it.”

The Playhouse, which is about to begin its 51st season, did this production about 12 years ago. Meyer said he has no qualms about bringing such a well known piece back to the stage.

“We go out of our way to make it different, but it’s different anyway because of the actors,” he said. “The actors infuse their own ideas into their character. They put their own imprint on it.”

But Meyer, who is as comfortable on stage as he is off, admits he enjoys the opportunity to put his own stamp on the production.

“When you’re acting, you’re one of the colors on a palette,” he said. “The director holds the whole palette and decides where to put the colors.”

Well-known story or not, the cast has been happy to delve into their characters.

“This was the role I wanted,” said Dustin Amundson, who plays the role of Lt. j.g. Daniel Kaffee (played by Tom Cruise in the movie version). “I like the fact Kaffee is somewhat flippant – I love his natural arrogance. But in the end he does the right thing.

“It’s a little intimidating to play such a well-known role,” he continued. “It can be hard to find a different way to do it, especially some of the key lines. It’s challenging, but I like it.”

When one thinks about challenging roles, Moriah Sittner, 18, may have the corner on that market. Sittner is a newcomer to the Whidbey Playhouse and her role of Lt. Jacqueline Ross was originally written for a man.

“I’m young, so I have to be able to project confidence,” she said. “I have to have a strong presence and official demeanor.”

Kathy Reed/Whidbey Weekly Judah Tirado, left, and Daniel Gibson play Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey, two Marines accused of murder in “A Few Good Men,” now playing at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor.

who plays PFC Louden Downey. While Gibson has performed in high school productions, this is a new experience for him.

“The biggest difference is that I’m working with adults versus students, so there’s a higher level of maturity,” he said. “Plus, I’m playing a military person and this being a military town, people will notice if something’s off.

“This has been so much fun,” agreed Sittner. “We’ve all become close, there’s a real sense of community and everyone is very supportive.”

“You have to make sure you are representing the military as close as possible,” Gibson continued. “I like that challenge.”

Performances of “A Few Good Men” are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. through June 25. The play does contain adult language, so parents should be aware of that. Information is available online at www.whidbeyplayhouse.com or by calling the box office at 360-679-2237.

While there are technical advisors to oversee the military aspect of this production, many of the cast members are veterans, which helps lend authenticity to their roles.

“This is a good play. A lot of hard work has gone into it,” Amundson said. “There are some good lessons in there. It’s not just entertainment.”

Take Jack McPherson, who plays the role of the judge, Capt.

Julius Alexander Randolph. McPherson spent 29 years in the Navy, retiring as a commander. At 87 years old, he said being in another Playhouse production was item number four on his bucket list.

This is also the first Whidbey Playhouse role for Daniel Gibson,

“Kevin was kind enough to give me a part,” McPherson said, admitting it’s been a little harder for him to get his lines down this time around. “I think I’m the last one off book this time; usually I’m the first. But this is a good play. It’s a lot of fun, the cast is terrific.”

Garden artistry on display on South Whidbey

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly Operating on the adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, people attending the Whidbey Island Garden Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, June 17, will see a plethora of ideas they can try in their own gardens and landscapes.

Participants in the tour can visit the gardens in any order and spend as much time as they choose at each location. With so many visitors expected for these tours, organizers say that is actually the biggest challenge when it comes to putting this annual event together.

“We have no shortage of wonderful gardens on the island, but the biggest challenge is finding gardens that can accommodate up to 1,000 people accessing, parking and safely navigating the garden all in one day,” Dancer said. “We unfortunately have to turn down numerous lovely gardens because they just cannot handle such a volume of visitors.”

Planning and preparing for such an event also plays a huge role for gardeners.

“You can have a small “in-town” garden that could be designed, planted and reach a delightful maturity in just a few years,” Dancer explained. “Whereas, large extravagant gardens can take many more years to complete.”

2017 Featured Gardens Here’s a quick overview of this year’s featured gardens, in no particular order, as described by Whidbey Island Garden Tour Coordinator Mark Dancer:

Diogenes Garden

by Sue Cooper “As you enter the garden, apple and peach trees are on your left. Pink dogwoods grow in a river rock garden along with ornamental grasses and smoke trees,” described Dancer. “Raised beds for vegetables make up the Bunny Garden. A dahlia cutting garden also includes tulips, lilies and iris. Backyard views include Puget Sound and the ferry crossing. Other highlights are the berry garden, roses, a greenhouse and herb garden.”

As many as 1,000 people are expected to turn out for the 22nd annual garden tour.

This year there are five gardens on the tour, ranging from the whimsical to the stately, sometimes within the same garden.

“It is a wonderful way for people to delight in what others have accomplished in their gardens and meet other passionate gardeners,” said Mark Dancer, public relations coordinator for the nonprofit Whidbey Island Garden Tour. “I find there are so many people that are enthusiastic about gardening here in the Northwest, that we are always interested in exploring diverse gardens and getting ideas to incorporate into our own landscapes.”

Photo Courtesy of Whidbey Island Garden Tour Stunning views and beautiful landscapes are sure to please at the garden of Sue Cooper, one of five to be featured Saturday in the Whidbey Island Garden Tour.

While different gardens are featured on the tour each year, it is not uncommon to be featured more than once. Gardens obviously change over time as they grow and mature, which means a garden can look very different after a few years.

The Whidbey Island Garden Tour is a volunteer run organization that gives the money it earns from the tour back to the community, according to Dancer.

“Proceeds from the annual Whidbey Island Garden Tour are donated to selected causes and non-profit organizations that support the improvement, restoration, and maintenance of our common island habitat,” he said. “Projects that emphasize public space enhancement and education are of particular merit in the eyes of the WIGT Board.”

Dancer encourages anyone interested to get involved.

“We would love for more people to get involved in this wonderful organization,” he said. “The Whidbey Island Garden Tour is a totally volunteer operation. We have a net-

work of individuals residing in our community who support the objectives of the tour and are willing to contribute their time and energy to make it a success. The expertise of these dedicated veterans is invaluable.”

Tickets to Saturday’s garden tour can be purchased at Bayview Farm and Garden in Langley, Venture Out Nursery in Clinton, Flowers by the Bay in Freeland and Sally’s Garden and Lavender Wind Garden in Coupeville.

Advance tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for children ages 2 to 12 years. If any tickets are still available on the day of the garden tour, they can be purchased at the above businesses or at each garden location for $25 for adults, $15 for youth.

More information on the tour is also available online at www.wigt.org.

West Wind Haven

by Hilary and Keith Turner: “Three acres of informal beds overlooking the Sound and the Olympics, this garden blends native plants with English cottage beauties,” Dancer said. “Trees, shrubs and vibrant perennials are on two levels with paths wandering around the beds, over water feature bridges. There is a walled garden and patio, greenhouse, potting shed, and food garden.”

Wanderland

by Teri and Gary Schallock “Meander on walking trails, pausing at benches to enjoy different garden rooms,” said Dancer of this garden. “Historical family Whidbey farm implements decorate throughout the grounds. Developed over ten years in sections, the last addition was a vegetable garden beside a greenhouse. Nestled in the woods, you will see unique ways to landscape on less than one acre.”

Froggwell

by Ralph Hastings “Off the beaten path, beyond a grassy drive there is revealed an idyll of earthly delights known as Froggwell,” described Dancer. “Tiers of shrubs and box hedges, continuous beds with creeping shafts of flowers and a variety of trees surround the house.

Douglas and grand fir and western hemlock border the property, inviting the wild animals and birds that are native to this area.”

Fredly

Photo Courtesy of Whidbey Island Garden Tour The whimsy of the Wanderland garden by Teri and Gary Schallock is sure to please many on this year’s Whidbey Island Garden Tour, to be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

by Fran Abel and Ed Anderson “A family collaboration, with son Brad Hankins, the design-builder, the garden of Fran Abel and Ed Anderson includes a pond that is integral to their water management system,” said Dancer. “A garden designer for 30 years, Fran’s philosophy of retaining or restoring natural habitat can be seen throughout. With the use of native plants, year-round garden interest is created using a combination of plants with flowers, fall-coloring leaves and interesting bark.”

LOCALLY OPERATED.

Dieter and Janice were married April 23, 1965 and spent the next 30 of their 44 years traveling the world while serving our great country. In addition to Dieter serving four tours in the Vietnam conflict, they lived in San Diego, CA, Virginia Beach, VA, Sicily, Italy, Corpus Christi, TX, and Oak Harbor, WA. During their travels, they were blessed with a loving family, raising three sons Kenneth, Christopher, and Anthony.

Dieter retired from the U.S. Navy as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 in 1991 after honorably serving for 30 years.

During his distinguished years of service, Dieter received multiple awards and commendations from the U. S. Navy including the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service, Navy Unit Commendation, Four Good Conduct, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Navy & Marine Core Overseas Service Ribbon, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Navy Expeditionary, and the Vietnam Humanitarian Service Medal. He truly had a heart for the military and country. After retirement, he spent seven years in Peyton, CO caring for his elderly parents before returning to Oak Harbor in 2004 where he lived out the rest of his days.

Dieter was a spirited soul with a passion for family, constantly opening his home to many and sharing his words of wisdom to all who were blessed to sit with him. His favorite pastime was working with his hands in the garden. He had a knack for transforming yards, flaunting the greenest lawn and the brightest of blooms. He could make prime rib as good as any restaurant and knew how to pick the perfect ham. For Dieter, anything worth doing was worth doing right.

Dieter was preceded in death by the love of his life, Janice, and survived by their three sons, Kenneth J. Peplinski, Christopher A Peplinski, Anthony J. Peplinski and wife Amy, all living in Oak Harbor. Also surviving are five grandchildren: Brett Fanslow, Joshua Fanslow, Ryan Santiago, Nicholas Peplinski, Andrew, Brook and Lydia Peplinski; three great-grandchildren: Teagan, Andin and Alondra and one sister Monica Ray from California.

A viewing for Dieter will be held Friday, June 16, 2017 from 2-5 pm at Wallin Funeral Home. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, June 17, 10 am at St. Augustine Catholic Church with Rev Paul Pluth, JCL as celebrant. Rite of Committal will follow at Maple Leaf Cemetery.

STARTS FRIDAY:

By Carey Ross 47 Meters Down: This is a horror movie in which innocent vacationers become trapped in a shark cage on the ocean floor with about a million hungry sharks between them and the surface. I would also like to offer it up as an example of why you’ll never find me in a shark cage unless I’ve been kidnapped and forced into one against my will.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 29 min.)

Alien: Covenant: "Alien," Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi masterpiece, is, hands down, the single most terrifying movie I have ever seen.

As such, I could not be happier he’s returned to the universe he created–and shows what he and his long-running franchise are made of.  (R • 2 hrs.)

All Eyez On Me: The short but impactful life of Tupac Shakur gets the biopic treatment– and if you’re wondering how Hollywood found an actor who looks exactly like the deceased rapper, so am I.  (R • 2 hrs. 20 min.)

Baywatch: Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron and hitting theaters with the tagline “Beaches ain’t ready,” this remake looks to be even more terrible than the television show, which was so terrible it was actually kind of wonderful.  (R • 1 hr. 56 min.)

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie: You can see this movie about a principal who is hypnotized into fighting crime in his tighty whiteys or you can see "Wonder Woman," about a warrior goddess who stops a war. Up to you.  (PG • 1 hr. 29 min.)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Like everyone else, I was completely charmed and entertained by the first installment of this unorthodox superhero franchise. Rocket might get all the one-liners and all the press, but long live Baby Groot!  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 17 min.)

It Comes at Night: Outside the cabin in the middle of nowhere is an all-too-realistic, highly contagious, totally lethal plague stalking the planet. Inside, are two families that have escaped it--for now. This is a closequarters psychological horror story, and it’s a good one.  (R • 1 hr. 37 min.)

The Mummy: In the realm of things I do not understand, comes this reboot? remake? retooling? of the inexplicably popular "Mummy" franchise starring Brendan Fraser.

This time, Tom Cruise is the lead, and, much like most of his movies in recent years, this looks like a mess.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs.)

Wonder Woman: With more than $100 million in domestic box office ($223 million worldwide), Patty Jenkins had the highestgrossing opening weekend ever for a film made by a female director.

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

FATHER’S DAY FOOD (BASKETS) FOR THOUGHT

drink, combine well and serve with a smile on Father’s Day!

Father’s Day is just about here, and since this is one of the best causes for celebration, let’s do it with food! Bring something sweet or savory, something spicy or even strange to the taste buds of the men in your life. Let’s show them how cherished they are and how much we love them by feeding them their favorite meal, or perhaps even something new and different.

Perhaps your dad isn’t the outdoors type, (which mine isn’t) and instead prefers to do other things. My father happens to love books and reading, so how does one actually pair books with food and turn it into a gift he’ll love? I get creative. Here’s my idea for a bookworm dad – start with a basket, and into it goes his favorite snacks. This could be anything pertinent to your father figure – Slim Jims, a new coffee mug with his favorite coffee, some cracker jacks, his favorite chips or pretzels (honey mustard and onion ones are a big hit with my dad). I arrange these around a book he might have been wanting for a while, or a gift card if I’m stumped for ideas, and then I put a bow on it! Take note though, the foods I listed are just examples of things that are easy to eat using one hand, and all without dad having to move his eyes off his book for long.

There are a couple ways you can ensure the special men in your lives are adequately filled.

The first way we can gift dad is by making a good basket. Not just any basket though – get creative. I’ve seen some incredibly creative food baskets over the years.

Let’s take into account dad’s personality. What is he like? Is he an outdoorsman? Does he like to hike, fish, hunt, canoe, do all the outdoor adventure type stuff? Well then, let’s put his personality at the forefront of our imagination when we assemble his gift basket. How about filling a backpack with all the essentials needed for his outdoor excursions? A brand new thermos perhaps, and a package or two of beef jerky might be a welcome surprise. Add to this a few of his favorite granola or protein bars (we happen to love the Cliff bars in our house) or even make your own. Mix this up with his favorite trail mix, perhaps his favorite

www.whidbeyweekly.com

Whidbey Weekly

I know a lot of dads who like to cook. This is my favorite gift basket to make because the options are limitless – a new pair of tongs, the avocado slicer gadget we’ve all seen at the store, a new kitchen block knife set, an array of different rubs and spices for him to test out on all kinds of barbecue meat, and the list goes on. All of this packaged in either an enormous cooking pot – a new one of course – or a new

crock pot even, because maybe your dad makes the best crock pot ham and potatoes, or crock pot dip and is therefore well worthy of a new one so he can continue to make the best of what he makes, in style. How about putting the items in the pockets of a brand new, fun apron for him? Perhaps your dad likes to light a fire in the evenings, and maybe he’s in need of fire pit – place the goodies inside of it if you go that route. I would like to mention, if you do something like this, a s’mores bar kit is an obligatory inclusion – not only will it be a great gift for him, a new fire pit and goodies to boot, but it’s a way to enjoy one another and spend time together.

novelty, and if you have little ones, they might enjoy getting their hands in the mix; especially being able to see the fruits of their labor. You could even make these pockets sweet, just adjust the ingredients of course.

There are so many different kinds of dads and each one is special and unique. Take what you know of your dad and apply it to a goodie basket gift for him. From the movie enthusiast to the game night pro, there are always ways in which we can put our creativity to work to devise a food gift to match his niche, likes, and loves!

Dear readers, I hope your father’s day is a great one and you are able to celebrate the father figures in your life in a way that best suits them. I am including a recipe for mini breakfast pockets/cups. If you try them, let me know how you like them or how your dad liked them.

Please send any and all comments, questions, information and definitely recipes you would like to share to letsdish.whidbeyweekly@gmail. com because like always, I’d love to hear from you, so Lets Dish!

I mentioned there are a couple ways in which we can make food the vehicle by which we show our appreciation for the men in our lives.

Well, this next way is almost as fun as the food gift baskets. Prepare his favorite meal, of course, but start or end with something a little different – or both. I like to start with an appetizer, and a new one each year. One of the best ones I’ve ever tried are mini pizza pockets with three different dips. I take the pre-made pizza dough and flatten it out into little circles.

Onto these I spread some pizza sauce, a slice of pepperoni, a small cube of mozzarella cheese, and I either fold them over like a turnover, or I pinch them closed like a dumpling. Bake until golden brown and I serve before dinner. You could try any kind of filling – dad’s favorite pizza toppings as a filling would likely be the best option. A marinara sauce, ranch dip, bleu cheese dip, three cheese sauce, barbecue sauce, alfredo sauce – all of these make wonderful dipping sauces for mini pizza pockets.

You could even do this at breakfast time and use traditional breakfast-type ingredients to recreate these mini pockets! They’re an absolute

Dining Guide

What about a dad who has a sweet tooth? You could follow along these lines and have a family fondue after dinner! Cut up all kinds of fruits such as strawberries, pears, or apples and have them plated all around the fondue. Maybe cut little cubes of angel food cake, or even lay out some crusty bread or short bread cookies to dip in your fondue lake of semi-sweet, milk or white chocolate. Again, not only is this a treat for dad, but it’s one you can all enjoy together!

Mini Breakfast Pockets/cups 1 can pre-made flakey biscuit dough 5 or 6 large eggs 1/8 of a cup chopped green onion ½ cup diced red pepper ¼ cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional) ½ cup cheese Flatten out the biscuit rounds and press each one into a greased muffin pan and up the sides (you can use the mini muffin pans just cut the rounds in half and watch them carefully as they will cook quicker). Beat the eggs and mix together with remaining ingredients. Fill biscuit cups half way with the mix and bake for 15 – 20 minutes at 400° F until eggs and dough are thoroughly cooked. Allow to cool, remove from muffin pan, serve with different dips or gravy and enjoy!

sign in particular. Now is the time to be fully informed about the elements influencing your future. The 18th is sure to produce news you can use.

CHICKEN LITTLE & THE ASTROLOGER

By Wesley Hallock

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Bargain hunting and wealth are major themes of your week. It does not matter how you measure wealth. Whether it be knowledge, friendships or dollars and cents that enriches you, the exacting pursuit of precisely the right thing in the right amount is much more important to you this week than casual and meaningless acquisitions. You will be choosy.

The 18th is an important day in your ongoing search.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Money matters are apt to be a point of intense focus for you this week. Quite likely your first inclination is to impose extreme restraints on the outflow of cash. In looking at ways to conserve, consider that what goes out may matter less than what you get in return. Be cautious of clamping down so severely that you risk harm to your own health and well-being. The 18th may help clarify your perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Fine distinctions and exacting criteria are likely to guide your hand in all pursuits this week.

Your sense of value is the prime consideration. Satisfying your desire for exactly the right thing, whether it be material, mental or emotional in nature, is apt to involve a good bit of search and wandering. Don’t be surprised to discover that the quest is more fulfilling than its attainment. The 18th has elements of both.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) A lot of information is coming at you this week in rapid-fire sequence. Some of this is mere distraction and some could be important to your long-term future. You will know the difference only by allowing yourself ample time to ruminate on and digest the things you learn. Curiosity and willingness to pursue wherever the data trail leads are your best friends here. Be sure to use the 18th to full advantage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The week is likely to see you holding a more mellow attitude toward people and situations that earlier would have aroused your inner tiger. This softening of position comes in light of new understandings that weren’t previously available. A soft demeanor does not lessen your impact on money matters and other situations in which you choose to involve yourself. Your words on the 18th are apt to be disarmingly potent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Events this week are apt to involve a practical review of your assets and what it takes to sustain your lifestyle. The core issue is about balancing your hopes for a brighter future against the realities of the moment. These are timely questions for all at present, and for your

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A hand that is firm and quick is best for accomplishing what you need to do this week.

Money and other resources for meeting your obligations are a prime issue. You’ll want to wield your assets decisively. Where the means to meet your responsibilities are lacking, you’ll want to take sure and positive steps to remedy matters. This is not a week for indecisive dallying. The 18th in particular is custom fit for action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your path is apt to meander this week. The shortest distance to your goal is definitely not a straight line. Chatty courses of action that allow you time to sniff out other’s interests and incorporate them into reaching your own ends reign supreme. You can accomplish much with apparent ease in such fashion. Where you feel you lack the needed charm and wit, you may get an assist from someone possessing those skills on the 18th.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It’s important that you have your feet under you as move through your obstacles this week.

Conversations that yield vital information are likely to play an important part in grounding you for effective action. Speedy execution is effective where money is involved, but only at the right time. The temptation to rush yourself prematurely is probably counterproductive.

Prior planning and spontaneity converge on the 18th.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Money and finances benefit from a disciplined and methodical approach this week. Given enough time and patience, the ways and means of trimming your financial sails to better suit existing conditions are likely to appear. This does not imply inactivity on your part. Open the windows of opportunity by actively working your network of personal contacts.

The 18th is ripe for reestablishing a stable course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) The road to happiness is best traveled not in large strides this week, but in a dance of many small steps. Standing rooted in the comfort of familiar ground works against you here. Be willing to adjust slightly to each small clue that will arise to tell you where you should turn and where to continue forward. These directional voices will be soft and easily missed. Pay them particular attention on the 18th.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Lessons from the past telling you that there are two sides to every story are your great ally at present. Checking your rearview mirror occasionally should be enough to remind you of that fact. Seeing both sides of the story enables you to find the balance point between them.

From that point is where your most effective actions take place this week. It forms a particularly good base of operation on the 18th. © 2017, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved

Kids fitness at THRIVE this Summer…and something for adults too!

Summer is here, school is almost out and that means kids will have more free time on their hands.

What’s a kid to do with all this extra time? Get active! Yes, with the added benefit of making friends and being conditioned for all their sport activities when that time of year rolls around again! Where can they do this? At Thrive Community Fitness, of course! Thrive offers two invaluable fitness, strength and conditioning programs for kids, based on age categories. Thrive has set out to keep kids active, occupied, and engaged during the summer, all at a very affordable price!

For teenagers ages 13 to 18 years old, there’s the Eat The Frog (ETF) group training, a program started by Olympic decathlon gold medalist, Bryan Clay. This is group training at its best, combining personalized fitness instruction based on individual assessments in a group setting that provides accountability for reaching goals. Teens receive the benefit of extremely efficient overall physical conditioning in the areas of cardio endurance, strength, and flexibility that is science-based and prescribed specifically for them. ETF helps teens to build up stamina, increase agility and flexibility, and improve strength with the aid of a heart rate monitoring system – all of which prove to be advantageous for any athlete when school sports are back in full swing. Time slots for the Eat The Frog program are flexible and offered throughout the day to accommodate 3 workouts per week during July and August. Making friends while staying active and increasing fitness is a combo that’s sure to be a win-win for any teen!

And because Thrive Community Fitness stays up to date on the science of health and fitness, they recognize the importance of recovery. Not only is a recovery week built into the Eat The Frog program, but adults also have the option of a brand new recovery aide at Thrive. Two new Hydromassage loungers have made their debut in the fitness center! A benefit you won’t want to miss! When your workout is done, you now have the advantage to speed up your recovery, increase circulation, and relax all at the same time! In just ten minutes a wall of warm water, with adjustable pressure, will massage you head to heal to take your work out from ‘ooh!’ to ‘ahh!’ It’s free each day with a Prime membership! No, you won’t get wet!
