SPECIAL PULLOUT SECTION

By RON NEWBERRYDiane Tompkinson can talk chicken with

the best of the backyard poultry farmers.A retired educator, Tompkinson has

raised chickens for 23 years, partly for what they do for her own well-being and also for her vegetable garden.

The hens that strut around Tompkinson’s Coupeville property produce healthier and tastier eggs than those found in cold stor-age in stores, she contends.

The chickens’ manure also packs a mighty punch to add to her compost piles to perk up her edible garden.

And she finds that chickens like to peck at bugs, proving to be invaluable in control-ling insects as part of her organic gardening practices.

“When I first started raising them I liked being part of the complete cycle of the gar-den,” Tompkinson said. “The chicken pro-duces the eggs. Their fertilizer was thrown into the garden. It went to the vegetables and the excess (vegetables) went back to the chickens. The perfect cycle.”

Tompkinson’s chickens might be among the healthiest and most nutritious broods on Whidbey Island because of their diet. Their feed includes the excess from the organic vegetables in her garden and seven fruit trees.

“Most people can’t afford to give chicken tons of kale, collard, spinach and apples,” Tompkinson said. “I’m still feeding them from last year’s harvest, plus some fresh greens. That puts my chickens at a great advantage in terms of flavor.”

Regarding their eggs, that is.Tompkinson doesn’t raise chickens to eat

them, only for the harmony they bring to her garden and for their eggs.

She sells her eggs for $6 a dozen, which is a couple bucks higher than the going price among poultry raisers on the island.

“I’m still sold out most of the time,” she said.

When you can control the types of fertil-izer that go into your garden and the sort of feed that goes into your chickens, a notice-able difference is found in flavor and nutri-tion of the eggs, Tompkinson contends.

And she’s hardly alone in this belief.Louise Mueller has raised chickens on

her Coupeville property for more than 60 years and likes to let her chickens range freely. She sees them grazing on her grass and knows that the more greens in their diets, the better the eggs.

“The more greens they get, the more orange the yoke,” Mueller said. “The more orange the yoke, the more Vitamin A is in the yoke.”

2015’s VALEDICTORIANS Meet Meaghan de Wolf, Isla Dübendorf

By BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

The two valedictorians for South Whidbey High

School have stood alone, and together, as the top

students in the class of 2015 since their sophomore

year. Isla Dübendorf, 17, and Meaghan de Wolf, 18,

are this year’s top students having maintained

4.0 grade point averages over four years at South

Whidbey High School. Their grades, both girls

said, meant that some nights they stayed in to

study instead of watching a movie or going out

with friends. At other times, it meant a 5 a.m. cram

session to have all the information fresh before a

test.

Atlantic crossing on Viking replica

By KATE DANIEL


When Jonathon Moses set to work repairing a dilapidated

sailing boat in 1984, he had no inkling that he would soon be

a crew member aboard a boat replicated from Viking lore,

retracing the tumultuous path Norse explorer Leif Erikson

had sailed centuries prior.

The Saga Siglar (meaning “sailor of the sagas”) was a

54-foot knarr, a replica of an 11th century Viking boat. Moses

explained that no images of a knarr existed aside from the

descriptions provided in sagas and the remnants of one that

had sunk off the coast of Denmark.

“Nobody had ever rigged one; nobody had ever seen one

before,” said Moses.

Academy seniors look to post grad future

By BEN WATANABE


They came from differ-

ent starts and found a simi-

lar finish at South Whidbey

Academy. A group of 16 students will

receive their diploma covers

and graduate from South

Whidbey’s alternative high

school program Thursday.

It will be the third graduat-

ing class at the school, which

opened in September 2012.

The week prior to graduat-

ing, a handful of the soon-to-

be graduates met with The

Record to reflect on their jour-

neys, struggles, triumphs and

what’s to come.

Asked what word they’d

use to describe the difference

of South Whidbey Academy’s

Pathways Program (grades

nine-12), they said, “persever-

ance,” “change,” “autonomy,”

and “independence.”

One of the common

themes for the small sample

of seniors was feeling unwel-

come and out of place in

other school settings. Some

came from out of state, others
