Recipients of the annu-al Linda Lee Martins Community Health Hero Awards will be honored as a special meeting 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 12.
The Island County Board of Health join with the Community Health Advisory Board at the Pacific Rim Institute, 180 Parker Road in Coupeville for the award ceremony
that is open to the public.Past recipients, who are
selected from a pool nomi-nated by the community, have been Island County residents, organizations and businesses.
The award is named in honor of Linda Lee Martens, who died in 2001 of cancer.
A woman was sent to the hospital Tuesday after a rollover accident on Highway 525.
The crash occurred just before 3 p.m. just south of the traffic light at Ken’s Korner in Clinton.
Sgt. Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said the sole occu-pant was transported to Whidbey General Hospital. It’s unclear whether she suffered injuries in the crash or went as a precau-tionary measure.
The woman, driving a white Nissan pickup truck, was southbound heading toward the ferry when she slammed on her brakes
to avoid hitting backed-up traffic on the highway, according to Price. The driver turned to avoid the vehicles in front of her but began to slide and rolled into a shallow ditch.
Wet roads may have con-tributed to the accident, Price said.
The truck came to rest on its roof, and one or more motorists stopped to help the woman out of the stricken vehicle. The wit-nesses left the scene when emergency responders arrived.
The southbound lane was closed for less than one hour following the accident.

Oak Harbor High School students converged on the scene of a gruesome car crash behind the school Friday morning.
They saw fire engines, ambulances and bloodied classmates being pulled from the wreckage. First responders couldn’t save one girl, ejected through the front windshield of an Oldsmobile.
The gathered students watched as she was pro-nounced dead and covered with a blanket.
It wasn’t real, but orga-nizers hope the mock drunk driving crash is a sobering wake-up call for seniors who might be tempted to party and get behind the wheel after prom tonight.
“We want to make sure everyone’s safe,” said Gary Wallin, a school board member and owner of Wallin Funeral Home and Cremation. “Over the years I’ve seen lots of kids killed because of bad deci-sions involving alcohol and drugs.”
Well-known seniors were chosen to play the parts of a drunk driver and the classmates hurt and killed in the crash. A make-up artist painted on realistic, bloody wounds. A crunched Oldsmobile and Buick were hauled in.
Students were brought to the site as if they’d stumbled on the scene of a car crash. They heard the 911 call and saw first
responders arrive and try to save the passengers. They watched the driver fail a field sobriety test, be handcuffed and taken away.
Afterward, a few people shared personal stories of loss, including Cynthia Allen, a teacher at the high school and the club advis-er of the school’s chap-ter of Students Against Destructive Decisions.
This kind of event is more likely to be effective in the short-term, Allen said. She does think it makes an impression on students, particularly the personal stories that are shared.
Allen talked about the June 1995 crash that killed Oak Harbor gradu-ate Chrissy Priest and severely injured three of her friends. Priest and three of her friends were on a road trip after gradu-
ation to Disneyland. On the way, an impaired driver heading the wrong way on Interstate 5 hit their truck head-on in California.
“It was a long time ago, but it still affects their family, friends and class-mates,” she said. “I know you’ll party but be smart. My brother works as an EMT. I don’t want him to pick you up.”
Senior Trevor Feinberg, 19, played the part of the drunk driver. He does think it helps.
“It’s really emotional seeing people getting cart-ed off,” he said.
Some of his classmates do party, he said. But he doesn’t think it’s as preva-lent as it was in the past.
“It puts things into per-spective,” said junior Mily Larsen. She thought the majority of her classmates took it seriously, but “the one’s who didn’t probably
are the ones who needed it most.”
Oak Harbor Fire Chief Ray Merrill organized the area fire and rescue agen-cies involved. It’s become a perennial event he hopes saves lives, even as he acknowledged that for some kids “it won’t matter one bit.”

In keeping with their father’s vision, the Waterman sisters are offering $50,000 in matching funds to Whidbey General Hospital Foundation.
The Waterman Medical Foundation has provided more than $800,000 in donations to the hospital since its establishment in 1980. Bud Waterman, the founda-tion’s founder, died in 1981.
“He’s always had a very gen-erous spirit,” said his daughter, Debra Waterman.
“Even though he’s been gone for 35 years, his legacy still affects the community.”
While the Waterman Foundation has traditionally given approxi-mately $20,000 twice each year to
the hospital, it decided to up the ante for the fall contribution as a means of giving the hospital an opportunity to raise both money
and awareness.“They’re using it as a challenge
grant,” Waterman said. “It gives them something to go out and talk
about and provide exposure to their foundation. We’re hoping it will pro-vide more attention for the hospital.”
An established Whidbey fam-ily, the Watermans opened the Waterman Mill Co., Inc. in 1950 on South Whidbey.
The mill successfully operated in Langley under the Waterman name for 40 years.
“If you live in a community, you have to support it to the extent that you can,” Bud Waterman was quot-ed as saying in a foundation news release.
Since the announcement of the matching challenge last week, the hospital’s foundation had already gathered $6,500 in individual dona-tions by press time, according to Helen Taylor, Whidbey General Hospital Foundation’s executive director.
“Individual donations make all the difference for great health care on Whidbey Island,” Taylor said.
“Quality health care close to home is a vital resource for our
community. We need to support and build our community hospital.”
All contributions to the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation direct-ly enhance health care on the island, according to a foundation news release.
Bud and Margaret Waterman’s daughters, Debra Waterman and Linda Weiss, are continuing their parents’ tradition of supporting the hospital by making it possible to double the impact of each donation by up to $50,000.
Donations can be made as a one-time gift or as a monthly pledge. The total amount will be matched by the Waterman Medical Foundation in support of Whidbey General Hospital.
“The family still supports hav-ing a local hospital, and we value it highly in our community,” Debra Waterman said. “We’re excited about this challenge.”

Debra Waterman and Linda Weiss carry on their family’s tradition of supporting Whidbey General Hospital through the Waterman Medical Foundation.
Sisters carry on legacy of giving
property in order to build the treatment plant on the back parking lot, which is next to Windjammer Park. The building came with the deal, but leaders had no spe-cific plans for the structure.
The problem Stowell is try-ing to solve is that a neigh-boring business has a park-ing easement that requires the city, as the new property owner, to provide parking spaces. The easement com-prises 90 spaces between the two property owners.
In addition, the plant may also need to up 50 parking spaces.
Councilwoman Tara Hizon noted that the building “isn’t exactly a jewel.”
In fact, it has a long list of problems that could cost the city as much as $2 million to
fix in order to use the building as a public facility.
Instead of investing poten-tially millions into retrofitting an old building, Councilman Joel Servatius said he would prefer to spend money relocating the ballfields in Windjammer Park to a big-ger, better location and expanding the park.
Hizon and a couple of other council members said they were uncomfortable making a decision in such a short timeframe and with some questions unanswered.
Stowell made the demoli-tion proposal during a work-shop the previous week.
Councilman Bob Severns, a candidate for mayor, seemed the least convinced about the demolition proposal, though he admitted he might be per-suaded with more informa-tion. He pressed his idea of moving the sewage treatment plant northward — further out of Windjammer Park —
in order to save as much park property along the water as possible.
“If we could take the build-ing down and move it fur-ther north, I would vote on it tonight,” he said.
Stowell explained that the current design configures the treatment plant building into a “campus” setting in order to make it aesthetically pleas-ing and also for an efficient interconnection between the sewage-treatment build-ings. Moving it north in its current configuration would require the purchase of prop-erty from neighboring Wells Fargo, which would be prob-lematic.
“Communication with Wells Fargo has been difficult at best,” he said.
Severns questioned wheth-er it makes sense to destroy the building after paying so much for it. He pointed out that the city paid $2.6 mil-lion for the building and prop-
erty; the building itself likely amounted to a significant por-tion of that cost.
Severns recused himself from the decision to purchase the property because he was a board member of Whidbey Island Bank, which is now Heritage Bank.
In an interview with the Whidbey News-Times after Tuesday’s meeting, Severns said he wishes he could have been involved in the decision to buy the property so he could have asked questions about a facility with so many problems.
“We’re going to have citi-zens asking why in the world did we pay $2.6 (million) for it in the first place,” he told his fellow council members.
“That’s behind us. I want to make the best decisions going forward.”
The property and building
were appraised by a profes-sional at the purchase price of $2.6 million. The county valued the building at $4.25 million and the land alone at $960,000 in 2014, according to the Island County Assessor’s Office.
Whidbey Island Bank pur-chased the building and prop-erty in 2004 for $828,000.
The building needs a seismic retrofit if it is to be used as a public facility. An engineering firm estimates the cost of the retrofit from $163,000 to $5 million, with a median of $900,000.
If the city keeps the build-ing, a long list of costly improvements would likely be necessary, including roof repairs, replacement of
upstairs windows, replace-ment of the elevator, improve-ment of fire alarm and sprin-kler systems and installation of new carpet.
City officials were aware of those issues before the build-ing was purchased, but the inventory of available prop-erty for the plant in the area was limited.
Stowell urged the council not to delay its decision.
City Administrator Larry Cort said it is perfectly rea-sonable for the council to ask for more information before moving forward. He sug-gested a special meeting to discuss the issue, which was set for 3 p.m. May 19.
The council may make its final decision that night.

The choir director is a quarterfinalist for the Music Educator Award, given to the top music educators in the country and awarded at the Special Merit Awards Ceremony during Grammy Week.
The winner gets to attend the Grammy Awards and receives a $10,000 check as well as $10,000 for his or her school. Nine other finalists take home $1,000 and a matching grant for their schools.
The judges are searching for a teacher who inspires students and uses innovative teaching techniques.
By all accounts, McCoy is a maestro at both.
This is his seventh year at Oak Harbor High, and in that time he’s energized the school’s music program.
“Very few of his students will go on to a professional singing career,” said Oak Harbor High School Principal Dwight Lundstrom. “For many kids, his class is a safe place to be and a happy period in their day.”
The choir director’s accomplishments include getting more boys involved in choir, an activity that tends to draw more girls.
He started Man Choir — a title appar-ently more manly than “men’s choir.”
He gets boys hooked on choir, and,
pretty soon, they’re sight reading music and singing for Harbor Singers, a high-level choir at the high school, Lundstrom said.
McCoy helped bring a part-time accompanist to both middle schools and the high school. He applied for a grant that allowed all the district’s music teach-ers to have access to notation software and workshops on how to use it.
McCoy sings and is also an accom-plished pianist who writes his own music.
His classes are popular because McCoy brings professional passion and energy to every class he teaches, the principal said.
“The main thing that gets kids in his classes are the respect and care he has for kids,” Lundstrom said. “They adore him and love working with him.”
Lundstrom has watched kids walk into McCoy’s classroom and immediately begin to sing as they gather up materials for class.
McCoy said he loves music because it allows people — whatever their back-grounds — to connect. He sees it on a global scale and in his classroom. Kids who would never talk to each other do inside the choir room.
His teaching philosophy is to put his students first.
“I think there’s this phrase, ‘Nobody cares what you know until they know you care,’” he said. “To be a good teacher, your students need to trust you.”
Semifinalists will be announced in September.

North Whidbey Park and Recreation District is search-ing for a new director — again.
The district board is narrow-ing in on a replacement and should begin interviewing top candidates this month. About two dozen people applied for the position, most from the Pacific Northwest, but one can-didate as far away as Texas.
This will be the district’s third executive director in as many years. The board that oversees the district is hoping this time they’ll find the right person to stick around.
“We wanted to make sure we got the word out to as many interested candidates as pos-sible,” said Sean Merrill, chair of the district’s board.
“We didn’t want to rush the process and make a snap deci-sion.”
It’s been a rough couple of years for the park district. The most recent executive director, Gino Wolfe, resigned from the
position Jan. 1 after serving less than a year. He followed Bill Walker, who resigned at the end of 2013 after working the job a year-and-a-half.
The board that oversees the district experienced turnover too. Only Merrill was elected to his position. The other four members were appointed — three in the last year.
North Whidbey Park and Recreation is a special purpose district that stretches outside of city borders, serving the same area as Oak Harbor Public Schools.
The district was originally established in 1977 because more tax dollars were need-ed to run John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.
Although operating the pool is a substantial part of what the district does, it also does more, including managing two com-munity parks and providing aquatic and fitness programs for people of all ages.
Running a special purpose district is no picnic. The district doesn’t have the administrative
support it would if it were part of a larger entity such as the city. The director has to be able to manage a complex budget, handle personnel, understand state law, develop policies and programs, reach out to the community and work under an elected board.
The salary range for the position is $52,000 to $61,000.
Although other factors played into why the last two directors resigned, the lack of administrative support contrib-uted to their departure, Merrill said.
Now the board is ready to get things back on track. Rather than rushing to hire a replacement, they placed the pool’s aquatic director, Erika Miller, in the role of interim director as they spend more time looking for the right per-son to fill the role of executive director.
“They need to let go of the past and move forward,” she said. “That is the only way the district will move forward.”

Treatment plant
Start over and get it right this timeEditor,
I was at the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday, April 21, at which time a number of citizens voiced their objections to the proposed location of the new wastewater treatment plant, or WWTP.
A number of people voiced objec-tions to the plant being located on part of the Windjammer Park and crammed in behind many of the buildings along Pioneer Way. Good objections.
Attorney Chris Skinner spoke against a change in the location, cit-ing the whole program was covered previously and any changes would be “extremely expensive.” I am somewhat confused by this phrase. From the fig-ures I have seen published, the project was priced at $80 million.
The latest figure I see quoted is $116 million, a 45 percent increase over the original figure. To me, $36 million is “extremely expensive.” Maybe Mr. Skinner does not consider $36 mil-lion as expensive if it is just more tax money.
As an attorney, Mr. Skinner, I am sure, has been in many courtrooms
when the jury said, “Guilty.” But that is not the end of the case. Attorneys on both sides start challenging many points of the trial.
Sometimes this goes on for years before a Superior Court rejects the finding of “guilty” and sends it back to the starting point.
The WWTP is like a person on death row — you must get the repeal before the needle is injected. Once injected, there is no correction.
Once WWTP construction starts, there is no correction.
Repeal, start over, get it right and keep the price as agreed. No more busi-ness as usual with a 45 percent price increase before any action has started.

Teachers
Thanks to staff who support childrenEditor,
This past week was National Teacher Appreciation Week, and I want to give a heartfelt “Thank You!” to the Oak Harbor Education Association and the local teachers who rallied to protest the state Legislature’s failure to properly fund our schools last Friday on May Day.
Classroom sizes have reached det-rimental levels. I’m abhorred by the fact that third-grade classrooms at local schools have 27-28 kids in them, especially since research demonstrates learning and classroom behaviors improve drastically with smaller sizes.
When classes get too large, teachers spend more time on behavior manage-ment rather than on teaching. Thank you, teachers, for fighting to reduce classroom sizes.
I’m also relieved that there are local levies to help fund the school and pro-vide supplies.
When we lived in Shoreline last year, I had to spend $75 per child on school supplies, such as scissors, glue, tissues, etc.
The Legislature is proposing to take these levies away and distribute them across the state to help with their bud-get crisis. Is this what other parents want?
Teachers certainly don’t want it because they put themselves on the line. Then again, it is teachers who often bear the burden and purchase school supplies themselves. Is this what we want for our teachers and schools?
And lastly, thank you for fighting for all-day kindergarten.
Personally, I like half-day kindergar-

Jacquelyn Boling
Jacquelyn Jo Ann (Johnson) Boling, 82, went to be with her Lord Thursday, April 30, 2015.
Jacque was born Oct. 4, 1932, in Wenatchee, Wash., to Norris and Marjory Johnson.
She married Charles Ray Boling of Los Angeles Jan 5, 1951, in Yuma, Ariz. They have six children, JoAnn Elaine Fox (Dennis) of Spokane, Wash.; Barbara Lyn Bullis of Boise, Idaho; Charles Anton Boling of Walla Walla, Wash.; Dawna Lea Tillery (Eugene) of Lemoore, Calif.; Kathy Sue Massagee (James) of Atlanta; and Sandra Lu Casimire (Russell) of Oak Harbor, Wash.
She was a dedicated mili-tary spouse who loved the military community. Besides her husband, she also had two children, four sons-in-law and three grandchildren in the Navy. She was proud of her volunteer service as a Grey Lady for the Red Cross at Whidbey Island NAS. She worked for civil service in the supply department as a customer service supervisor.
Jacque was a strong woman of faith who loved the Lord. She served as church sec-retary for both First Baptist Church in Oak Harbor and Foothills Four Square Church in Wenatchee, where she touched many lives. She was also active in Women’s
Aglow. She led Bible stud-ies and prayer groups. She took seriously her calling as a “Watchmen on the Wall” (Isaiah 62:6-7).
Anyone who met her expe-rienced her gentle, loving spirit, and friends enjoyed her sense of humor. She was known for her love of quilt-ing, tea parties and wearing hats. She loved history, espe-cially her family history and the civil war era.
She loved her family more than anything, always show-ing support and uncondi-tional love to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She is survived in death by one aunt, two brothers, six children, 19 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband and one grandchild.

ten because I think we are pushing reading and writ-ing skills ahead of neuro-developmental timelines, but I understand the need for families with two work-ing parents to have full-day kindergarten and not have to pay for it. I have twins, and it would’ve been more $500 a month to send my twins to all-day kindergar-ten.
My husband is a com-mercial fisherman, and we could not afford that luxu-ry, so I opted for half-day. Consequently, my twins’ performances corroborat-ed research that demon-strates half-day kindergar-teners lag behind and enter first grade having to play catch-up to their full-day kindergarten counterparts.
So, I thank our local teachers who are fighting for fully funded, all-day kindergarten because they want the best for our kids.

WalkoutTeachers always tout ‘need more’Editor,
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it with teachers right up to here.
The only word in their vocabulary seems to be “more.” Teachers never seem to specify anything beyond that, just “we need more.”
Well, folks, I hate to tell you, but “more” is throw-ing good money after bad. When you come to me with a plan — establish your goals, define your plan to do those goals, create a budget, show how you will accomplish the plan and how you will test to see if those goals are met, then I will talk to you.
Otherwise, go to your corner and shut up.
You claim to be profes-sionals, I say, “not hardly.” Professionals wouldn’t give
their paycheck, retirement, benefits to demonstrably corrupt unions; profession-als wouldn’t give up their right to vote to the same unions.
Oh, you didn’t give up your right? Who do you think pays for all those misleading political ads, pays for the politicians the unions own, buys the laws the unions pay to get passed? You “voted” with your dues; your ballot is irrelevant …
Professionals wouldn’t turn their classrooms over to incompetent bureaucra-cies hundreds and thou-sands of miles away.
Your strikes are an exam-ple of how low you can go. It is against state law for you to strike, but you did it anyway. You are supposed to set examples for the kids, be a role model. How are you going to explain to the kids that you are a law-breaking criminal?
If any of you would bother to read the pro-posed budgets, you would see the Senate budget — Republican, passed — will raise education spending by 18 percent — plus a bunch of other increases: K-3, kin-dergarten, etc. with no new taxes.
The House budget, Democrat, not passed, doesn’t come close and wants to raise taxes all over the place, typical of the last 30 years of Democratic rule in this state.
You have a job where you can’t get fired, you have no liability for doing a bad job, your benefits are above your salary, which you usually neglect to men-tion when whining about your pay, but in the words of my dad, “there aren’t any hooks in your butt keeping you there.”
Paraphrasing William F. Buckley, I think I would trust the first 400 names in the Oak Harbor phone book more than I would trust union teachers any-more.

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY
By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter
Perched upon a scaffold for the only time in memory, Emily Mulka kept her composure when she noticed a cluster of tiny spiders scur-rying in all directions.
She brushed it off, focusing on the painting job at hand.
“I was a man about it,” Mulka joked, sharing the story with a companion next to her on the scaffold. “I kept on working.”
Mulka joined other volunteers who devoted part of their Wednesday to help paint a new Habitat for Humanity home under construction in Oak Harbor.
She and Barbara Hernandez were among several Peoples Bank employees participating in Habitat’s National Women Build Week initia-tive, which challenges women to devote at least one day to help build affordable housing in their communities.
Other local businesses, including Wells Fargo bank, allowed employees to leave the office and pitch in with the effort.
Developed in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and Lowe’s, the Women Build pro-gram gives women a chance to work together in a construction environment more common-ly associated with men with any intimidation removed.
“You get to experience something you wouldn’t generally do on your own,” Hernandez said. “I consider myself a pretty handy person at home.”
The program is in its eighth year with 62,000 women from all 50 states volunteering in past events.
Habitat for Humanity of Island County has been involved with the program since 2009 with projects generally centered in Oak Harbor.
About 15,000 women nationwide are expected to participate in this year’s national program, including roughly 50 joining the Oak Harbor effort.
The program started May 2 and concludes May 10.
“This is a very welcoming environment, help-ing women come out and shape the lives of other families,” said Sadie Foltz, development director at Habitat for Humanity of Island County.
“It’s not about excluding men. It’s about empowering women to help build lives.”
Men also donned pink Women Build T-shirts and contributed to the project.
The three bedroom house is one of two Habitat homes under construction and located beside each other on Lanteen Street.
The one that was part of Women Build is being built for Scarlett Agee and her two chil-dren. Agee is a medical assistant working with Whidbey General Surgery and Island Women’s
Health Care in Coupeville.Foltz said applicants must have incomes that
fall within 25 to 50 percent of the median income in Island County to be eligible.
“She’s absolutely wonderful,” Foltz said of Agee. “She’s working so hard to get her educa-tion. She has a full-time job and she’s young. She has her entire life ahead of her. She’s so grateful and wonderful to work with. She’s out on the job site trying to meet all the groups that help build.”
Sandy Rankin, a universal banker at Peoples Bank, has never met Agee, but she showed up to the worksite on her day off to help paint.
“It’s helping the community,” Rankin said. “It’s helping someone.”
Damion Lopez, a construction manager for Habitat in his third year of being involved with Women Build, said the program dispels the notion that women can’t keep up with the men on the job site.
He pointed to last year when Women Build fell during the time a house was being framed.
“They were building walls and raising them just like anybody else would,” Lopez said.

The artist for May-June in City Hall, RAINY LIN-DELL, began her lifelong adventure with art after being encouraged by her seventh-grade art teacher. She loves to paint atmo-sphere and wildlife. He lived in Seattle for many years. After moving to Coupe-ville in 1994, she became a member of several co-op galleries on the island. Be-sides Oak Harbor City Hall, you can see her work in Penn Cove Gallery. She is a member of Whidbey Allied Artists.
RAVEN ROCKS GAL-LERY presents “Sanctuary: Trees of Life – new paint-ings by Mary Jo Oxrieder and Windwalker Taibi” May 1-June 4, 2015. A perfect expression of the circle of life is the tree. It takes from the earth what has come before, and with it creates what will be. Mary Jo Oxrie-der will be debuting three new gallery-wrapped acrylic paintings, including “The Moonflowers First Bloom of Spring,” as well as this year’s first pen and ink and water-color work in her renowned Fantasy House series. Wind-walker Taibi will be featuring four watercolors in his new series, “Sanctuary: Eternal,” and will also present two new inspirational figura-tive watercolors, including “Gathering Her Children.” For the art lovers who are in minimalist or “down-size” modes, both artists will also be showing new collections of watercolor and mixed media miniatures.

get their kids to sporting events and play dates, the Nastalis own two vans.
“I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” Bob Nastali said. “Even being a pain in the butt, they’re still good kids.”
There’s no manual for the journey Bob and Beth Nastali have traveled.
Since their marriage 36 years ago, they’ve reached their current desti-nation by following their hearts.
Learning they were unable to have children of their own, they became foster parents.
The initial backdrop was Fallon, Nev., where Bob was stationed in the Navy.
It was in Fallon where the couple learned of a dire need for foster homes in the community and signed up for emergency placement.
“The idea is to place the child temporarily,” Beth said. “The idea behind foster care is to reunify the family whenever possible. Sometimes, it’s just not possible. It depends on the family history.”
The Nastalis took in two brothers, age 6 and 9, for about eight months before they were reunited with the father, who shared joint guardian-ship with his parents.
They then opened their home to a teenage girl who had just delivered a baby on her 14th birthday.
“We took in her and the infant,” Beth said. “We had them until the baby was about a year old.”
Through all this, a plan was start-ing to form. Upon arriving at their
next duty station on Whidbey Island, the Nastalis began pursuing the idea of adopting children.
Their first adopted child was Bobby, who entered the Nastalis’ lives in foster care at 4 days old, was legally adopted on his third birthday and is now 26.
Heather would be next, followed by twins Jasmine and Tamika, all within a few months. All are 14 now.
But at the time, Beth and Bob Nastali had three girls under the age of 1 on their hands.
“I couldn’t do what she did,” said Carmen McFadyen, a longtime fam-ily acquaintance whose granddaugh-ter shares a class in elementary school with the Nastalis’ youngest daughter.
“She knows that I admire her.”When children are placed in fos-
ter care, reunification with their bio-logical parents is the top priority,
but when circumstances don’t allow that, finding a permanent, caring home is considered the next best option, Beth Nastali said.
A caseworker told the Nastalis the twins would only be in their care for a weekend.
Yet they were still in their home when the couple attended a perma-nency hearing after 18 months and a caseworker asked them where they stood in regard to adoption.
“Bob said, ‘There’s no way you’re taking away our twins,’” Beth said. “They had wormed their little ways into our family and hearts.”
Beth Nastali said she’s both sen-sitive and indebted to the biologi-cal mothers of her children. She and her husband have made it a point to remain connected with the extended families of the biological parents and have taken several trips out of state to allow their kids to
know their siblings, aunts and even grandparents.
“We kept that in mind, not hav-ing our own children,” Beth said. “It kind of helped me understand a little better about what the mothers of these children might be feeling like not having them. It was hard for me not to recognize that. They are here because of something that hap-pened that the parent had no control over or didn’t expect to happen.
“They’re all gifts to me. The only way they’re here with me now was because of their birth mothers.”
It was through those sort of rela-tionships that led to the adoption of Allison, 8, who is Heather’s biologi-cal sister.
The Nastalis got a phone call from Heather’s grandfather just to inform them that another sibling was on the way.
The Nastalis offered to bring her into the family as well.
Two years later, Tyler joined the family, too.
“We got him at 8 weeks old,” Beth said. “At that point, he pretty much had already detached himself from his surroundings. He cried continually.”
Now, Tyler is all about hugs, his mom said. And lots of them, as he craves personal contact and, like most kindergartners, seeks atten-tion.
At home in the Nastalis’ five-bed-room house, surrounded by four siblings and two parents, Tyler gets plenty of that and more.
“They’re great parents and they’re great people,” said Mary Johnson, match coordinator at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, who’s
worked with all four of the Nastalis’ daughters to find big sister matches. “Beth has a high empathy level. She strives to get to know each one of their kids as an individual and to pro-vide them with what each of them need to be the best they can be.”
Parenthood wasn’t without bumps in the road and heartache.
Their eldest son, Bobby, faced some of the same struggles as his biological parents.
The family recently celebrated Bobby’s 26th birthday together.
“We can do everything in our power to raise them the best we know how,” Beth said. “Sometimes, nature overcomes nurture.”
None of that diminishes Beth’s concern. She loves all of her kids unconditionally.
That love is returned daily in little ways. There’s usually no big surpris-es on Mother’s Day, her husband said, just a day of relaxing and a little pampering.
“She’s a very good mom,” said Bob, who’s retired from the Navy and works as an Aviation Electronics technician for a con-tractor at NAS Whidbey. “She’s caring. She’s loving. She’s strong. We have plenty of structure in the home, or else it’d be total chaos.”
Beth thinks beyond herself when it comes to Sunday’s holiday.
She thinks about the biological mothers of her six children.
It’s why the Nastalis keep con-nected with their extended families.
“That’s how I pay back the mothers in my heart,” Beth said. “We’ve always kept their first names because we felt that was a mother’s gift.”
