ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

Whidbey Weekly What a great way to celebrate the calm and quiet following a fun four days at the Whidbey Island Fair.

After watching six Randolph Scott westerns in two days, I had a dream I was a blacksmith.

Showcasing at 7 p.m. at The Machine Shop will be the locally produced and locally cast film Harry Monument.

My arms were really, really big, and my hair really, really black.

We gathered the troops 25 years ago, back when grey hair was brown, and belt sizes were unknown, to produce a movie like no other.

That’s how I knew it was a dream.

Sentimental purging This time of year, with the weather nicer, I can set up my Lifetime folding tables for sorting.

Sorting is not purging, but, for me, it is the first step to getting there.

If I discard items as they appear in a stack of items, my mind may as well be on a roundabout in Anacortes.

Where to go next?

So, I sort first, with like things together, like it is supposed to be before one gets started sorting.

In fourth grade, I did not need to sort. I didn’t have enough stuff to get confused. I knew where my Hardy Boys books and my Al Kaline ball glove were. I was a collector, but with an allowance of just two bucks a week, I could only afford Two Buck Chuck, but I was not old enough to drink it.

Finder’s keepers In last weekend’s sorting, between Randolph Scott westerns, I found a copy of a letter to Mom and Dad. It was dated May 29, 1957.

I was nine. A powerful age. The last single digit age of my life. My digital age was ending.

The letter, an end of the school year assignment, was written in cursive, back when my cursive was quite legible.

Dear Mom and Dad, My favorite subject is reading, but not the kind of books we read in the reading groups. I like American History books because they have action and teach me a lot.

The thing I had the most trouble with was talking too much.

And I can improve next year by not doing it.

Sincerely, Jim Freeman I am glad Mom saved that kind of stuff instead of the reports about how many times I faked ill health to go to the nurse’s office. For your information, I was pre-med in elementary school. The advanced class. We were issued light weight stethoscopes, mouth thermometers, and enough bandages for at least a dozen injuries during recess.

More on this next week, but circle your calendar or tag your refrigerator.

Since there is no Other category at the Academy Awards, Harry Monument will only be shown the one time, July 23, for non-Academy consideration.

All donations from the evening benefit Hearts and Hammers of South Whidbey.

Thanks to Harry Monument’s creator, Richard Evans, and The Machine Shop’s Tim Leonard for creating this benefit event. Enjoy the arcade, the best in the Northwest, before and after the show.

Common sense A high school chum was ranting about millennials the other day. His rant reminded me of our parents ranting about us in the 50s.

Generational disgust has rarely been discussed in my lifetime.

Maybe it does not exist except somewhere between my pre-frontal cortex and my carbon footprint.

Surely, I am to blame for my circumstances, but why not blame the millennials, or the perennials, or when possible, the sesquicentennials?

My remote control discovered a re-run of The Talking Heads in their 1984 landmark Jonathan Demme docu-rocker, Stop Making Sense.

This is a film that changes perspectives while one dances. A viewer or listener cannot help but dance, no matter who is looking.

Common sense has always been common, but sometimes it is interrupted by great music like The Talking Heads.

My top three common sense tips were learned in a vacation Bible school while the other kids were making ceramic ash trays for their moms: 1. Treat people the way you want to be treated, unless it involves disrespect, anger, or excessive amounts of flavored Pringles.

2, Read books that have words you know so you do not have to read with a heavy dictionary on your lap.

Okay, so you have a Kindle Fire and the definition appears when your finger points.

Why play dodge ball when you can play doctor?

Recently learned Despite recent rumors on the gossip show TMZ, Angela Lansbury is no relation to Betty Crocker.

Neither are spit balls, 3 by 5 cards, or those machines at the shoe stores that x-rayed our feet while our mothers were trying on sale shoes.

Nor was Martha Stewart a stand-in last year for Candace Bergen on the Murphy Brown series.

3. Take time out for books and music and movies.

If you are too busy, read a book about a movie musical.

Thankfully, our Dad went to college with Jim Davis, the actor who portrayed Matt Clark, railroad detective, on Stories of the Century, in the 50s.

Matt Clark taught all of us TV viewing kids to put our ears to the rails if we wanted to hear the train coming, but to get up before it got real loud.

Come on Time Sir Willie Nelson’s latest CD, Ride Me Back Home, is a must for fans, and a real score for newbies.

My fave song, penned by Willie and his life long friend and producer Buddy Cannon, is available for viewing and listening on You Tube at www. youtube.com/watchv =GQOd_oQeH1w&list=RDGQOd_oQeH1w&start_ radio=1.

Whatever commercial precedes the song is a lot shorter than a ferry line, and, like a ferry line, worth the wait.

At 86, Willie is still a marvel.

The Machine Shop Thanks to Tim Leonard and the fab folks at The Machine Shop on 2nd in Langley for hosting the Hearts and Hammer benefit Tuesday, July 23.

Island County CD Special

I just really want to start a support group for seniors who enjoy diagramming sentences. All we need is a big green blackboard, some chalk, and a whole bunch of erasers.

If you have not heard, diagramming sentences, the joy of all elementary school students, is no longer in vogue.

Amazing, is it not, what some folks try to get away with in the press or on TV?

One of my favorite reference books is Stanley Green’s Hollywood Musicals Year by Year (3rd edition). Every bit and bite of delicious trivia is included.

More than 300 Hollywood musicals since 1927’s The Jazz Singer are showcased. Included in each entry is info about the screenplay writer, producer, director, choreographer, cast list, song list, release date, plot summary, and detailed notes surrounding the production, cast, and spin-offs the movie inspired.

For more information about this book as well as other theater and cinema books, check out https:// rowman.com/Action/Search/_/Hollywood%20 Musicals.

Where else can one learn George Sanders’ only screen musical was the 1953 Irving Berlin infused Call Me Madam, starring Ethel Merman and Donald O’Connor?

I just heard a kid in the back of the room yell, “Who is George Sanders?”

Maybe Bernie’s older brother?

Letters to the Editor Editor, Kudos to the aesthetically-gifted city leaders responsible for siting the massive sewage plant in the middle of downtown Oak Harbor. It contributes as much to the ambiance of the area as a giant octopus swamping a ship.

Now we not only have another eyesore that adds little to the city’s ambiance, but also one that contributes an olfactory bouquet that stuns the senses of townspeople and tourists alike.

Maybe it is too late to undo the sewage plant, but let us hope that something can be done to alleviate the horrible odor penetrating our city before we become known as “The Stinkiest Little City in the West.”

IBrishen Performs at WICA Brishen, Romany for ‘bringer of the storm,’ is what 23-year-old Quinn Bachand and his stellar band, Brishen, serve up with their original western and euro-gypsy swing homage on the Michael Nutt Mainstage at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts Friday at 7:30pm.

With a tight grasp on the music that embraces the swing tradition, Quinn Bachand’s Brishen takes audiences on an inventive quest which, through its technical virtuosity, brings together a spellbinding range of musical history to reinvent the categories of swing jazz, pop and country, celebrating the music of the 30s, up to and including the 60s. Quinn Bachand’s Brishen creates a space where virtuosity meets vibe, leaving you with a sense of jubilance and nostalgia.

The band features Reuben Wier on rhythm guitar and vocals, Noah Gotfrit on upright bass and Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews (from Whidbey Island) on clarinet and saxophone, while Quinn takes the lead on lead guitar, violin, banjo, and vocals.

Quinn Bachand’s Brishen has toured across Canada, the United States and Europe, performing at major folk, jazz and gypsy jazz festivals and at sold out jazz clubs and theatres. They’ve been nominated for an unprecedented five Canadian Folk Music Awards, two Western Canadian Music Awards and in 2018 won an Independent Music Award in the Jazz category for their sophomore album, “Blue Verdun.” Their third, and much anticipated album, “Tunes in a Hotel” was released in Europe earlier this year and had its official Victoria release June 21. Brishen is also a DjangoFest Northwest favorite.

Island Rowers Honor Founder with Boat the “Dave Haworth” The Island Rowing Association is holding a christening ceremony Saturday at 9:30am at Freeland Park in memory of the club’s founder, Dave Haworth. The club recently refurbished one of the quad shells and has renamed it in Haworth’s honor.

Haworth founded the club in 1997, which started with six members. Currently, there are 17 members ranging in age from 28 to 76. The main focus of the club is recreational sculling and teaching the sport to youth and adults. Several members have extensive rowing experience in competitive collegiate and master’s programs. Others learned the sport with the club’s two U.S. Rowing trained coach-rowers, Carl Fjelsted and Bruce Schwager. The club hosts a Learn to Row program for anyone interested in rowing.

Tides and weather permitting, the club practices early Tuesday and Saturday mornings on Holmes Harbor, with Masters and Novice row times. This season, the group is enjoying the dedicated coaching of Roy Dunbar, an island resident who competed internationally, and coached the Seattle Pacific University crew.

For more information about the event, or rowing with the club, contact Carl Fjelsted, fjelsted@whidbey.com, 360-420-7962.

Film Screening to Benefit Hearts & Hammers

www.whidbeyweekly.com LOCALLY OPERATED State Ferry Hyak Sails Into Retirement After nearly 52 years in the Washington State Ferries’ fleet, Hyak was decommissioned late Sunday night, June 30, following its 9:05pm scheduled sailing from Seattle to Bremerton.

With no legislative funding in the 2019-21 state transportation budget to operate the vintage vessel, Hyak was retired after completing the service day Sunday. It is now at WSF’s Eagle Harbor Maintenance Facility on Bainbridge Island where crews will remove all usable equipment and prepare the ferry for sale.

Hyak is the first of WSF’s four Super class ferries. Construction began in 1966 at the National Steel and Shipbuilding Company shipyard in San Diego. Upon completion in 1967, it sailed up the coast to its new home in Seattle, entering state service on the Seattle/ Bremerton route in July of that year. Its name, Hyak, is tribal Chinook jargon meaning, “fast or speedy.”

Over the last half-century, Hyak sailed on almost every WSF route, primarily serving Seattle/Bremerton in recent years. It served the Edmonds/Kingston route for more than a decade, sailed often in the San Juan Islands and even served as a relief vessel for the busy Seattle/Bainbridge Island route many years ago.

Richard Evans’ acclaimed noir feature Harry Monument will screen at The Machine Shop, 630 2nd Street, Langley at 7:00pm, July 23. All proceeds will go to Hearts & Hammers. Donations will be greatly appreciated.

Harry Monument takes a comedic look at private eye movies from the past. This feature length production was filmed locally in 2002 and released in 2004 with over 100 Whidbey Islanders performing as the cast and crew under Evans’ direction. Harry Monument has become a time-capsule by any measure with scenes filmed in the old Dog House, Ebey’s Landing, farmlands and hideaways, and a strip of beachfront property before it was paved with bricks. Starring Dave Draper and Ken Church with Shannon Connell, Jim Scullin and Jim Freeman, the film will bring back many memories for locals as well as Whidbey visitors.

Here’s what the critics have to say about this film: Award Winner Berkeley Film Festival 2004 “… an ineluctable, hilarious journey through a bardo of cine noir, benign schizophrenia, and theatre of the deliciously absurd.”

Lewis John Carlino, The Great Santini, Resurrection “… all the earmarks of a cult classic.”

Judith Walcutt, Live From The Islands, KSER-FM Official Entry San Antonio Film Festival 2004 “Evans is a master of abstract comedy.”

Denne Bart Petitclerc, Then Came Bronson, Islands in the Stream “… snappy dialogue from the noir convention gives the film substance and easily fits the existential bitterness covered by the likes of Raymond Chandler.”

Dennis Schwartz ,Ozus’ World Movie Reviews Filmmaker Evans, a regular on TV’s Peyton Place in the 1960s, has appeared as an actor in films and on television since 1960. He and his wife, Jo, have been Whidbey Island residents for 30 years, during which he produced and directed two dozen plays for local theatre groups including Frost/Nixon at WICA, and writing, producing and directing three features filmed and numerous short subjects filmed on the island. In 2018, Evans published his memoir Fazkils and most recently three volumes poetry, Cryptolips. All are available at Moonraker Books in Langley.

Hyak’s retirement reduces the size of the WSF fleet from 23 to 22 ferries. WSF requires 19 vessels to fully operate the summer schedule, and, with 12 more boats due for retirement in the next 20 years, there is an increased risk of service disruptions due to routine maintenance requirements and unexpected repairs that become more common with old vessels.

While every effort is made to minimize effects on service when ferries need repairs, WSF recently released a 2019 Alternate Service Plan (bit.ly/WSF2019ASP) to help customers understand how decisions are made and plan for potential disruptions in ferry service that could occur during the busy summer season.

Details on the sale of Hyak will be announced in the coming months. As state property, decommissioned ferries must be sold through the state surplus process.

Washington State Ferries, a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation, is the largest ferry system in the U.S. and safely and efficiently carries nearly 25 million people a year through some of the most majestic scenery in the world.

State Proposes to Increase Ferry Fares and Capital Surcharge – Get your comments in Ferry customers and anyone with an interest in Washington State Ferries fares are being asked to weigh in on a new fare proposal that would take effect starting this October.

The Washington State Transportation Commission has released its proposal to increase ferry fares over the next two years. The proposed increase must generate $407 million in fare revenue between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021, as required in the recently passed two-year state transportation budget for Washington State Ferries operations.

The commission’s proposal includes two ferry fare increases over the next two years and an increase in the current capital surcharge paid on each fare, as required by the Legislature to support construction of a new vessel.

The commission proposed these increases after considering input from Washington State Ferries, the Ferry Advisory Committee on Tariffs, and public input gathered through a series of ferry community meetings in April and May 2019.

A summary of the ferry fare and policy proposal is as follows: Proposed fare increase for Oct. 1, 2019 2.5 percent fare increase for vehicles An additional 5 percent fare increase for oversize vehicles on the Anacortes/ Sidney, B.C., route 2 percent fare increase for passengers Reservation no-show fee will be increased

If implemented, the pilot would run for no more than three years.

“Good to Go!” Pilot: This pilot would test the use of the “Good to Go!” system currently used to collect tolls on highways and bridges, to also collect ferry fares. Special fares might be established as part of this pilot, with approval from the commission. If implemented, the pilot would run for up to three years.

The commission will hold its final hearing on the fare proposal from 10:00am to noon, Tuesday, August 6, at the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Board Room, 1011 Western Ave., Suite 500, Seattle. Public comment will be taken and the commission is expected to vote on the final fare and policy changes at this hearing.

Fourth of July brings booming celebrations to Whidbey Island

By Kacie Jo Voeller Whidbey Weekly

Whidbey Island will welcome action-packed, nostalgia-filled events set off by annual Fourth of July festivals and fireworks.

Oak Harbor is set to host its annual Old Fashioned Fourth of July Festival while the 104th Maxwelton Parade will take to the streets at noon on Independence Day.

Photo Courtesy of Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Fireworks will once again soar into the sky to close out the Old Fashioned 4th of July festivities in downtown Oak Harbor Thursday night.

Christine Cribb, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said July 4 will kick off with pancake breakfasts held by the Oak Harbor Rotary Club at 7:30 a.m. at First United Methodist Church and the North Whidbey Firefighters Association at 7 a.m. at the Heller Fire Station.

The pancake breakfasts will be followed by the Grand Parade at 11 a.m., which will return to its customary route this year, Cribb shared.

“I think we are returning to tradition,” she said. “People love bringing parades downtown straight down Pioneer. There are three other parades that go straight down Pioneer and there was no reason to not return to that great tradition everyone loved.”

The event will come with a new twist this year when the fireworks go off, Cribb shared.

“Normally the fireworks are shot off the shore at Windjammer Park,” she said. “This year we wrote a grant to bring a barge in and shoot them off the bay. It literally will be ‘Boom Over the Bay.’” The Old Fashioned Fourth of July Festival features a street fair, beer garden, barbecue, motorcycle show, carnival and more, which all help to attract visitors and locals alike to the event, Cribb said.

Photo Courtesy of Harriet and Tim Arnold The Maxwelton Independence Day parade draws traditional costumes year after year, including a man on stilts.

“Hotels are packed full and we have visitors coming from all over,” she said. “In 2016, 40,000 people watched the fireworks show from Oak Harbor Bay. With only 23,000 residents that tells you how many people just descend on Oak Harbor to watch the fireworks and be part of that festival.”

Choice Awards, Cribb shared. Each year, the event aims to maintain tradition while also improving upon past festivals, Cribb said.

“We are just trying to keep raising the bar on the quality of the event we give this community,” she said.

Cribb said the event is made possible by volunteers, sponsors, and staff who want to help the community celebrate America’s birthday.

“It takes hundreds of volunteers to make community events happen and it gives people who live locally a sense of community and a sense of pride,” she said.

For more information about the event, please visit oakharborchamber.com.

On the south end of the island, Maxwelton will welcome its 104th Independence Day Parade at noon. Harriet Arnold, a former teacher and longtime organizer for the Maxwelton Parade, said the event consistently draws a large crowd.

“We have 3,000 to 5,000 depending on the weather,” she shared.

For those who want to participate in the parade, Arnold said registration starts at 10:30 a.m. at the corner of Maxwelton and Swede Hill Roads. The parade has become a tradition for many local families, she shared.

“There are little kids who keep coming out and their parents who were little kids in the parade at one time - it is just so much fun,” she said.

In 2016, the event was named the seventh ‘Best Fourth of July Festival’ in the country by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’

“One part I have liked over the years is there is usually a guy up on stilts and some of the costumes have gone down through the years so it is kind of fun to see them again,” she said.

The parade receives funding from an annual button contest, for which participants 14 and under submit designs for a button, which is then sold for a dollar to help finance the parade. However, in 2018, the parade was made possible through donations from the community and a GoFundMe effort.

“We have merchants around that keep donating, which helps us out. Last year we almost did not have the parade because we did not have the money to put it on,” she said. “And our chairman’s son, from the younger generation, suggested doing a GoFundMe.” Arnold said the community has continued to support the parade and wants the tradition to be continued.

Photo Courtesy of Harriet and Tim Arnold The Maxwelton Independence Day Parade features more than one hundred entries each year and draws thousands to watch.

“The community came in,” she said. “We have a Facebook page and had people that said, ‘Oh, you cannot stop the parade!’ because they had been participating in it since they were little kids and it just keeps going and going and going.”

Oak Harbor’s Bayshore Chiropractic adds new services

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly Bayshore Chiropractic is making some adjustments to the services it offers by expanding those to include chiropractic and sports medicine care a at local fitness center.

Dr. Dan Klope, who joined Dr. Dawn Keith-Madeiros at Bayshore Chiropractic about 18 months ago, has teamed up with REP Fitness in Oak Harbor.

“Working with athletes, from students, casual to competitive level, we have opened up another area of serving our community,” said Dr. Dawn. “[Dr. Dan] also works with the Whibdey Golf Club, Trevor Reed, trainer at Oak Harbor High School, our little league baseball teams, and now REP Fitness.”

Dr. Dan will be at REP Fitness two days a week to serve a variety of needs.

“Tyson Van Dam and I did this to help bring more variety of services to REP Fitness as well as expand some hours to my existing patient base,” said Dr. Dan. “This also allows me access to the gym which helps me better instruct strengthening and rehabilitation exercises.”

Dr. Dan’s affinity for working in chiropractic care and in the arena of sports therapy goes back a long way, as does his professional relationship with Dr. Dawn. When Dr. Dan was a senior at Oak Harbor High School, he did an internship at Bayshore Chiropractic, setting everything in motion.

“As a high school intern in the Health Careers and Medical Internships class, I saw [in him] drive, self-motivation and great interest in the human body,” said Dr. Dawn, who waited to add another doctor to the staff until Dr. Dan completed his education.

“It’s an eight-year education and life commitment to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. I waited for Dr. Dan knowing his ability, communication skills, and intelligence,” she said. “There was also the extra benefit of him

being local, having deep community roots he even married the girl next door in his first year with us.”

“My interest in sports therapy started with my own athletic history combined with my developing an interest in athletic injuries and how to treat them,” said Dr. Dan. “Athletics is such a huge part of a wide demographic of people ranging from kids to adult club sports, that it is important to be able to help these people to continue to play to the best of their ability.”

The addition of a master’s degree in sports medicine to his doctorate degree made sense for him, Dr. Dan said.

“The sports medicine program was offered in addition to the chiropractic doctorate program because of how well they often work with each other,” he said. “Athletes move and use their bodies in such a way that chiropractic care is often a huge help in keeping their discomfort down and helping them maintain active range of motion and decreased muscular and joint discomfort.”

patients more quickly and, selfishly, someone to adjust me,” she said. “I tell everyone he is much smarter than me, I just have more experience.”

In addition to regular office hours at Bayshore Chiropractic – which has been around for more than 21 years now – you can find Dr. Dan at REP Fitness twice a week.

“Anyone can come and see me, whether they are interested in chiropractic services, sports medicine care, or both,” he said. “I am currently available at REP Fitness Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. I am at our Bayshore Chiropractic office during any other regular business days.”

For more information, contact Dr. Dawn or Dr. Dan at Bayshore Chiropractic or find them online at www.bayshorechiropractors. com.

Photo Courtesy of Bayshore Chiropractic The team at Bayshore Chiropractic in Oak Harbor is Dr. Dawn Keith-Madeiros, office manager Nikki Richardson and Dr. Dan Klope. Dr. Dan joined the team about a year-and-a-half ago and offers knowledge of sports medicine in addition to chiropractic medicine.

This expertise in his field allows Dr. Dan to offer his patients services like facial stretching, sports-specific strengthening and rehabilitation exercises, nutritional and supplemental support and even first aid care when he attends sporting events. Being able to offer all this in the community in which he grew up is a bonus.

“I did always want to return to Whidbey Island,” he said. “This was such a great place to grow up, and I couldn’t imagine having a family and raising kids anywhere else. It also helps that my wife’s family is from here, we have great outdoors activities, and I know lots of great people.”

Dr. Dawn said it’s wonderful to be able to offer even more services to meet their patients’ needs.

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

NOT JUST A MUSICAL FRUIT! Fourth of July is here and that means busting out the grill – if you haven’t done so already – and getting your hotdogs, hamburgers, kebabs, ribs, sausage, corn, veggies - you name it, whatever you usually grill - grilling! One of my favorite sides at any barbecue, be it a large get-together or a simple family meal outdoors, is baked beans.

Where I’m from, baked beans aren’t synonymous with summer. Nor are they a side dish at a backyard barbecue. Baked beans are, instead, a breakfast item served alongside your eggs and sausage, usually on toast. A friend of mine from high school used to put cheese on top of her hot baked beans on toast and she thoroughly enjoyed it that way. An acquired taste for some perhaps, but hey, to each their own. When I think about it, the baked beans I was accustomed to when I first came to the states were very unlike the ones I know and love here now.

They don’t taste anywhere near as sweet, yet they are no less delicious than those we get in the U.S. So, what are the origins of the baked bean?

According to my research, Native Americans had long been making baked beans when the pilgrims came over and learned the recipes for themselves. Several tribes used to cook navy beans that had been soaked slowly in syrup and bear fat inside a deer skin or clay pot over a fire for an extended period. The Puritan Christians who adopted this recipe and a similar method of cooking them found it led to a hearty meal after church on Sunday, given it was prepared and cooked Saturday and left in a warm wood oven until the next day. Their faith did not allow for any kind of work being undertaken on the sabbath day, so baked beans were a solid solution and a filling meal to boot. Win-win, methinks.

Definitely a very interesting, earthy dish and competing with the prototype I imagine has been a tall order to say the least, yet we tinker with the recipe hundreds of years in the hope of creating something tastier than the last.

We have today, thanks to all the tinkering and toying with the baked bean recipe, several iterations of it, but I think the most famous,

www.whidbeyweekly.com

Whidbey Weekly

or at least the most well-known, is Boston Baked Beans. Some historians say it’s the city’s connection to rum and the fact molasses was a by-product during the production of rum which led to it being used as a common sweetener in the versions of baked beans made there. Salt pork and molasses were added to some beans left a-stewing and apparently the Boston Baked Bean recipe was born! Whether or not this is 100 percent accurate is up for debate and though it makes sense, it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day, because we are at least privy to how they are made. Lucky us!

But every culture around the world has its own version of a stewed bean of some sort, so what constitutes a baked bean being just that? Is it the type of bean used? Maybe it’s the seasonings that go into the mix. Or perhaps it’s the length of time needed to cook the beans – I mean, if you think about it, leaving the beans stewing for too long guarantees an extremely soft and mushy mess – no less delicious – but mushy nonetheless. Usually, it’s cannellini or navy beans which, when cooked along with the likes of paprika, onion powder, salt and sugar, renders a most basic, yet undoubtedly delicious version of baked beans. And that’s not all, because in addition to being tasty, beans have a nutritional profile that reads as follows: • Good source of protein • High in fiber • Low in fat • Full of vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, iron and zinc So, if you’re gearing up to make your own baked beans and are going to be using the canned stuff, experts on the matter encourage us to read labels to keep an eye on the sugar content of the beans. If you’re looking for a healthier version, making your own is most assuredly the way to go. You can control the amounts of pretty much everything that goes in to making baked beans.

Your options are broader, in that you could use any kind of bean you like in order to make your version of a classic. The spices and condiments used to give your dish something special is

entirely up to you. You can keep it a secret and note it down in your family recipe book or commit it to memory and never reveal the secret of your scrumptious baked bean success.

However you choose to keep track of your own recipes is up to you, but absolutely do share the meals you come up with, if not the recipes themselves! Now, dear readers, I am including a recipe for a version of Boston baked beans and there are a few tips I have come across over the years for cooking them. The first is to season your water in which the beans will cook. The reason for this is it provides the groundwork for richer, more complex flavors to emerge in the end product. Next, if you want to reduce the amount of time it takes the beans to bake in the oven, then start them on the stove top. Finally, keep in mind a thick and delicious glaze isn’t dependent on the sauce used in the recipe, it’s a result of the bean starch itself.

It is officially National Baked Bean Month and we all know how well baked beans go with barbecued anything! This time of year is the best time to do some backyard grilling and now, to make your own baked beans, too! I am including the recipe for Boston baked beans I’ve used a couple times before and happen to like very much! I do hope you try it!

Homemade Boston Baked Beans 2 cups white beans (I use navy) ½ to ¾ lb of bacon, cut into cubes 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons dried mustard ½ cup molasses (or to taste) 1 teaspoon ground black pepper salt ½ teaspoon paprika (optional) Soak the beans in a large bowl of water for at least six hours, or overnight. Drain the beans and place in a large, ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add a teaspoon of salt and enough water to cover the beans, leaving approximately 2 inches of water covering them. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer slowly, stirring from time to time until the beans are just tender. Drain and remove beans. Return the pot to the stove and cook the bacon over medium/ high heat until browned. Turn off the heat, add the onion and beans. Mix together the molasses, pepper, mustard and paprika and add to the beans. Pour boiling water into the mixture, enough to cover the beans and bake in a preheated 250°F oven for about five hours, checking liquid levels and adding water as needed. After the beans have cooked, stir them, add a little more water and cook in the oven uncovered for an extra 40 minutes for the flavors to deepen.

best reflect your own. Being a team player on the 4th puts you right where you want to be.

CHICKEN LITTLE & THE ASTROLOGER

By Wesley Hallock

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s a busy week shaping up.

Expect your own wants and needs to face a lot of juggling with those of others, most of it for the sake of stabilizing unstable situations. Interactions with family and friends may become a test of patience that demands much give and take from all parties. Emotional maturity or its lack is the key factor that will decide outcomes.

The weak links are felt most keenly on the 4th.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An undercurrent of excitement propels everything this week.

Frequent shifts of focus make it difficult to pinpoint exactly what may be agitating your situation at any given moment, but constant unrest is a given. An eager state of giddy anticipation likely surrounds certain known events to which you’re looking forward. Events may or may not live up to expectations on the 4th, but odds are, you won’t have time to fret the failures.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Getting fixed on the shape of things puts you at risk of a disappointing week. The things you want to happen are likely to assume a form and timing unlike what you’re anticipating.

The more you try to control outcomes, the more you inject your fears into your creations, and the more distorted they become. Do your best in every moment and then let it go.

Letting the 4th be as it is maximizes the joy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Outspoken and opinionated approaches may lead you to feel you are truly deciding outcomes this week. The truth is that key understandings you need to be completely effective remain unavailable. Good results are still possible, but do not deceive yourself. Luck has as much to say about what happens as anything you do. Stack the odds in your favor by acting, not out of fear, but from a place of joy. Joy gets a headstart on the 4th.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A special occasion may be the cause of expenditures beyond your comfortable norm this week. Internal debate over the wisdom of your action is probable. If money worries dominate all your thinking, however, you are missing out on the original reason for the expenditures. The solution is to expand your mindset to include all the wonderful consequences you originally envisioned.

Events on the 4th may help validate you. .

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The path of least resistance this week is also likely to be the most fun and profitable. Since the opposite is so often true, with reward in direct proportion to effort, you’ll want to maximize this time of relative ease. Least resistance in this case means cooperation with those people whose values and goals

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A not-so-subtle push to try new things marks your week.

Hesitation around uncertain outcomes is natural, but in this case, daring the unknown positions you to gain more than you lose. The odds are with you, and they increase in proportion to your ability to put fear of loss out of mind. This means fully accepting as your motto the old adage, “nothing risked, nothing gained.” The 4th is a double or nothing day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Optimism in your primary activities is well-warranted this week, and more so if logic backs your actions. This ability to articulate your thinking and justify your behavior puts you over the top. The challenges of your skeptics are a blessing to the degree that they expose fuzzy thinking. Defending your reasoning forces you to ever greater levels of clarity on the 4th. It’s a day of fireworks, literally and figuratively.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Life this week need not be as complicated as you are probably inclined to make it. Finding yourself corralled by circumstance into the simpler possibilities may trigger vigorous resistance, but try going along. Playing it light and simple for a day won’t kill you, and the new life that your participation injects into a key relationship will gladden your heart.

Simple doesn’t necessarily mean superficial on the 4th.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will need more to be effective this week than just the firm-handed leader persona useful in group activities. Your one-on-one relationships require that you be able to shift smoothly from the role of leader to that of partner and co-creator. Implied in the shift is a change in the balance of power. The distinction is important to note. Knowing when to lead and when to partner is vital at all times, but especially on the 4th.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) Work and play intertwine in a complex weave this week. Your demeanor may be equally complex as a result, making it difficult for others to know how to read you. Some may accuse you of taking serious matters too lightly. Others may object that you make light-hearted affairs too heavy. This period, if used wisely, could be a time of high achievement. Group participation makes an onerous task more agreeable on the 4th.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A satisfying pattern should emerge this week as some troubling loose ends and inexplicable experiences of your recent past knit themselves together. You can dismiss it all as mere happy coincidence, or view it as evidence of a greater plan at work in your life. If it’s answers you seek, this could be quite an enlightening time. Even the most mundane of events on the 4th come loaded with deeper meaning. © 2019, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved

Whidbey’s holiday weekend explodes with art and culture

By Kacie Jo Voeller Whidbey Weekly The weekend following the Fourth of July will be all about art on Whidbey Island.

One of the goals of the guild was to share the work the group has been creating, he said. The guild currently has 23 members, 11 of whom will be sharing their work at the show, La Londe shared. Participating artists include Karen Renz, Morgan Bell, La Londe, and more.

“Early on when we started meeting, people wanted to show what we were doing, to expose people to fused glass and what some of the fused glass artists are doing and their many techniques - sculptural and painted and jewelry,” he said.

Photo Courtesy of Whidbey Island Glass Guild A number of fused glass works, including this piece by Andre Zunino, will be on display during the inaugural show of the Whidbey Island Glass Guild Friday and Saturday in Langley.

GLASS GUILD LAUNCHES FIRST EXHIBITION The newly formed Whidbey Island Glass Guild will hold its first show at Zech Hall, which is part of the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts complex. The show will take place Friday from 1 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with refreshments served Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Richard La Londe, a renowned area glass artist, was one of the founding members of the group. La Londe worked alongside artist Gina Michel and other area glass artists to begin the guild, which serves as a place for members to connect and share ideas, techniques and more. Currently, the group is focused on fused glass, which is a unique form for the medium, he said.

“It (fused glass) is an unusual form of art glass,” he said. “You see a lot of blown glass but you do not see so much kiln-formed glass, and that style of melting glass in a kiln and forming it in a kiln without using a blow pipe or a furnace is more available to people in the public.”

sponsored in part by

La Londe said the group hopes to grow and attract more members in the future.

“We intend to have further meetings,” he shared. “And (we will have) further demonstrations at our guild meetings that members in the community can use, and hopefully we will have some public outreach. We will see how the show goes and hopefully have another exhibition sometime.”

To learn more about the show or the guild, please contact Gina Michel at evolutionaryartisans@gmail.com.

FOLK MUSIC GETS LISTENERS IN TOUCH WITH THEIR ROOTS Folk music will take center stage as part of the 14th Annual American Roots Music Series at Deception Pass State Park. The event will kick off Saturday with a performance by the Meshugga Daddies at 7 p.m.

The shows, which will be held Saturdays in July and August, will take place at the West Beach Amphitheater.

Makaela Kroin, who works as a folklorist for Washington State Parks, said the event has become a favorite among campers and community members in the area, often drawing 300-450 people to the shows.

“I think what is special about it is that all communities have traditions, and we really

Concerts will be held throughout July and August at 7 p.m. each Saturday.

want to be able to show how these grassroots traditions define who we are as people in the Pacific Northwest,” she said.

Kroin said the event has been able to expand from only running through July to also hosting shows in August, thanks to volunteer and other support.

“This is the first summer that we have been able to expand programming through August and that has been exciting,” she said.

“The Deception Pass Foundation has been really good at building grassroots support for the series and they got additional funding from Island County.”

One of the key pieces of the show is drawing high caliber folk musicians to perform for the series, Kroin said.

“I am just always blown away by the quality of the musicians that we have in Washington state that come to play these shows,” she said. “We truly have some talented musicians - and sometimes dancers as well.”

The Meshugga Daddies are a Spokane-based group that will travel to play Klezmer (traditional Jewish celebration) music and some other Yemenite and Middle Eastern songs.

“It (Klezmer) comes out of Balkan and Central European music traditions, but Klezmer music also really changed when it got to the United States, so they have put their own spin on Klezmer and they are a lot of fun,” she said.

The concerts are free, but a Discover Pass is required for parking. Kroin suggests attendees bring their own camp chairs, bug spray, and a blanket for after the sun goes down to best enjoy the show. In addition to the concert series, Deception Pass also offers a number of interpretive activities, including guided hikes and other programming for park visitors.

WHAT’S GOING ON

CAR SHOW PRESERVES TRADITION AND HISTORIC BAYVIEW HALL

who handles the food at the event, to make the event possible year after year.

A family-fun focused car show will wheel its way to Bayview Hall Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Cool Bayview Nights Car Show is free to the public, with hamburgers available for $5.

“Being able to work with my brother on a project that we both love is a neat thing to do,” he shared. “We both are in our 60s - how many times do you get to play cars with your brother when you are 60 years old?”

Brian Grimm said he founded the Cool Bayview Nights Car Show in 2006 as an alternative to more traditional and expensive car shows.

“I wanted to have a car show that you could bring your kids or your grandparents to that was community-oriented, where you could walk in and enjoy yourself whether you had a dime or a dollar or a hundred dollars in your pocket, and that was free to the public,” he said. “And if you wanted to eat, it would be inexpensive.”

For Grimm, the event has always been about family connection and tradition. His grandfather helped build Bayview Hall, and his father swept the floors after dances to make extra money in the 1930s, he said.
