VAQ-135 proves ‘Battle Efficiency’ By Lt.j.g. Robert Hughes, VAQ-135 The Black Ravens of Electronic Attack Squadron 135 (VAQ-135) recently earned the 2012 Navy “E” Ribbon for sustained superior performance in an operational environment. The origins of the Navy “E” date back to 1906 and President Theodore Roosevelt when he ordered a white “E” painted on gun turrets managed by crews with consistent outstanding performance. Over the years the award evolved to include engineering and aviation commands displaying superb readiness and efficiency. The Navy “E” Ribbon, also known as the Battle Efficiency Award, was created in 1976 when the Secretary of the Navy established it to replace all other “E” awards. When selecting a winner for this award, significant emphasis is given to operational proficiency during the squadron’s work-up phase and deployment. In addition to performance during deployment, the unit’s safety record, operational readiness and qualification currency are also taken into account when choosing Battle “E” winners. The Black Ravens, over the period of one year, conducted five work-ups in preparation for their deployment. The operational tempo was high with all five work-up detachments taking place during just a six-month period. In May 2012, VAQ-135 began their first deployment in the EA-18G Growler. Five months were spent in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and one month in support of contingency operations in AFRICOM. Discount Sales• 40,000 to 100,000 Warranty

Traffic Impacts at Seaplane Base Starting July 8, a major military construction project installing a fuel line will impact traffic entering and leaving Torpedo Gate on Seaplane base for the next several months. Anyone exiting Seaplane Base via Torpedo Gate should anticipate potential delays coming on-to or leaving the base as portions of Torpedo Road will be restricted to single-lane two-way traffic throughout the day. People who wish to enter Seaplane Base through Torpedo Gate may do so throughout the day. However, general outbound traffic will be restricted to Maui Gate during normal working hours. Only delivery and oversized loads will be allowed to exit Seaplane Base via Torpedo Gate during those hours. All personnel are highly encouraged to use Maui Gate on Seaplane Base during normal working hours. After 8:00pm Torpedo Road will be available for two way traffic; however, personnel using that road should expect potential delays. As this project progresses, there will be other impacts to traffic on Seaplane Base. Base officials will keep people informed of specific impacts as they arise to allow people to plan accordingly. Signage and traffic flaggers will be on site directing traffic. Personnel should also prepare for the closure of the Torpedo Road spur between Northeast Regatta Drive and Pioneer Way. That Torpedo Road spur will only be open to residents living along that road. All other traffic will need to use different routes to their destinations on Seaplane Base, Crescent Harbor Housing or other nearby locations. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

Letters To The Editor Editor, I was in attendance at the Island County Commissioners meeting June 24, 2013, in which modifications to our current laws and ordinances regarding fireworks were discussed. Many Whidbey residents took the microphone to discuss all the valid reasons why these modifications should be adopted, including veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and animals (both pets and wildlife). The most popular position seemed to be keeping legal fireworks to one day only. Helen Price Johnson was very reasonable and acted with empathy and insight, but I was disgusted to see Kelly Emerson, and even more so, Jill Johnson, treat our concerns with disdain and contempt. The height of arrogance was Jill Johnson saying basically SO WHAT, and that she came from a fireworks-loving town. So does that mean she cares not a jot for America’s war veterans? Does that mean she gives not a thought to our wildlife? And it must also mean she cares not for the pets who go crazy, run into the streets, are hit by cars and if they should survive, fill our shelters? Apparently none of that is important to her. All she claimed to care about was tourists. Listen to me on this: Tourists who come for fireworks can see and hear those fireworks on limited dates. Then they can enjoy what Whidbey really offers: wildlife, peace, rural community. If they wanted constant bangs and explosions, they wouldn’t be coming HERE. So I would say to Ms. Emerson and Ms. Johnson, stop your eye rolling. Open your hearts to those you care so little about and learn more about empathy. And don’t run for office if you care not for the people you represent. Katrina Sussmeier, Freeland
Editor, This is regarding fireworks use on Whidbey and the proposed law changes. First, money spent on fireworks when the economy is so bad makes no sense to us. One of the arguments from Jill Johnson at the June 24 Island County Commissioner meeting was that the sheriff’s department is so thin already. Wouldn’t our money be better spent beefing up the sheriff’s
department and not wasting it on environmentally toxic fireworks?
because responsibility always rests with the senior person.
On top of that, the wildlife is going to be so freaked during that week the tourists won’t be able to enjoy, or even see them. Pigeon Guillemots that nest in the cliffs on Double Bluff have to be really bothered as fireworks are set off right under their nesting area. They’re referred to as the Bird of Whidbey in our Audubon Chapter. It’s on the Whidbey Audubon emblem. And every year garbage from fireworks litter the beaches, requiring a major volunteer clean up.
Military service is done with masses of very young people in their physical prime but at some distance from full maturity and ‘wisdom.’ Their strength, skill, and obedience are essential to accomplish each mission. They are individually and collectively similar to a race horse that has been prepared to perform in an explosion of energy when released, but are infrequently released in a real race. When the race is real it is deadly serious. You have authority over them and responsibility for them and their performance during training and in war.
We have a blind dog who is particularly upset by the noise. We also spoke to a sight impaired gentleman at the June 24 meeting who has similar, horrible issues. The reckless use by private residents is thoughtless and unnecessary, not to mention out and out cruel. And there is NO need for any celebration to last more than the ONE day holiday. We have no rights or peace during the time these fireworks are being discharged. We would like to see a total ban on fireworks; but if that’s not possible, keep it to a few hours on a single day. John and Barbara Schuster, Freeland
Topping this off, doing your job is very annoying to some of the people you work for. You may be subject to exceptional punishment for smoking, drinking, and allowing your youthful sexual energy to follow natural courses that are prohibited in the military. I often wonder, “What did they think would happen?”
Delegation of authority and responsibility is encouraged in the military at all levels, but always at peril to the senior who has delegated

Democracy Celebration
As Independence Day approaches I’ve been thinking about the complaints about aircraft noise at the Navy Outlying Field at Coupeville and at Ault Field on Whidbey Island.
As military individuals advance in seniority there is increasing authority and responsibility restrained by rules intended to keep everyone under control. Uniformity of behavior is desired and expected, but understood to be very difficult to attain. “Family life” is an active contradiction of words in many ways. Participation in civil government is highly regulated and discouraged or prohibited. Civil authority controls your profession and your life. Lots of anniversaries and PTA Meetings are missed. You realize things at home aren’t easy while you are deployed. You may cry when you finally come home each time.
[Submitted by Marshall Goldberg]
That’s what I’ve been thinking about when I listen to complaints about noise coming from aircraft practicing to protect us, and while we prepare to celebrate the 4th of July.
Editor,
Military duty involves managing authority with responsibility. I’m thinking in a very broad sense of the people who volunteer to serve in our military and, for the most part, do a very credible job. Conditions vary, but there is always the recognition that this is a very different line of work that is poorly understood by the majority of people being served and who are paying for your work.

Goosefoot Announces Summer Street Dance Series Now that Island County local governing entities have passed a resolution seeking to overturn the U. S.

When “Jacques Brel” originally opened in 1968 in a Greenwich Village theater, French singersongwriter Brel’s body of theatrically insightful ballads was already obscure. But his work influenced a spate of American musicians including artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, David Bowie (who covered “Amsterdam”), and Frank Sinatra. Brel’s brooding, evocative songs about life, death, love and the consequences of human folly were unleashed on an unsuspecting and wide American audience. It could be said that “Jaques Brel” changed the course of Broadway theater through its popularity and the show’s deep effect on American audiences. The orchestra for the OutCast production will include Richard Hughes (guitar/mandolin), Jonathan Small (bass), Scott Small (percussion) and Sheila Weidendorf (piano/accordian). The show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm from July 19 to August 3 and at 2:00pm Sundays, July 21 and 28. General seating tickets are $14 for students/seniors and $18 for adults.

said the elder Miner never intended his notes to be a book one day, but they jump from the page straight into one’s imagination.
Not everyone jumped with joy at the thought of it – allowing alcohol in city parks – so when the Oak Harbor Park Board asked for public feedback on the proposal, introduced by a city council member in April, the idea sounded so crazy, it just might work.
Howard was a self-taught artist. Between missions of 10 to 12 hours at a time, he drew countless pieces, depicting combat, Navy people and wartime in the South Pacific.
The proposal would be on a permit-only basis within a designated, fenced-in area with IDs checked as you enter. Alcohol would be served by licensed bartenders with police supervision as needed. Even JoAnn Hellmann, director of Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County, felt for a moment all bases were covered, except for a few undisputed facts. She always comes prepared.
Jim Siggens, a PBY member, noted, “The Black Cat squadrons drove the Japanese crazy because they flew with no lights.” Ron added they are a much underappreciated group, passing away at a rate of 600 a day. Ron’s own father died in 2011.

The primary reasons she gave were two-fold. She explained, “Our city has recognized that city parks are special areas that are heavily used by families and youth and alcohol there sends a mixed message it’s needed to ‘add to special events’ as stated in a phrase in a May 2 local news article, by allowing alcohol, the City is permitting the possibility of DUI injury or death. Hellmann said she didn’t feel the board really gave full weight to the concerns, as four park board members voted to make the recommendation to the City that alcohol be allowed. Only one voted against. Another asked for a “trial period,” which the board finally defined after some discussion to be a year. Shaking her head, Hellmann said, “That’s reactive, not proactive,” pointing out most people who drive impaired don’t get caught. (Sad but true.) “They’ll be tracking … fights, beer brawls? Not the issues here!’ At the end of the meeting, Hellmann queried, “Your recommendation includes ALL 60-plus city parks?”’ The board then amended its recommendation to stipulate only the regional parks: Windjammer, Fort Nugent and Catalina parks. Hellmann said people kept bringing up concepts such as “morality, personal accountability, open season on alcohol and prohibition,” sidestepping the two main issues noted. “And believe me, it’s not that I am or IDIPIC is anti-alcohol. But do we really want alcohol to be the attractant to festivals in our parks? There are plenty of establishments and several festivals for that,’ she added. She gave a stunning example of how people should look at the matter, suggesting, “A new September festival has brought crowds galore to Oak Harbor. The beer and revenue are flowing. No under-21 allowed and folks are stamped to show they’ve been allowed their drink limit. Bob has only had a couple of beers. He’s backing his car out of the parking lot and hits the accelerator a bit too hard. In a split-second, he crushes the legs of a festival patron between his car and another. YOUR LEGS!” No alcohol, no injury, no death. Memories of Dad “Sketches of a Black Cat” just might make you a fan of World War II aircraft. The warm-hearted collection of wartime stories deserves to be front and center in local book stores. (Black and white version is $20; color is $40.) I met Ron Miner last week following his talk at the PBY Memorial Foundation about his late father Howard and their unusual collaboration. Ron, who finished the attractive soft-bound book following his father’s death,
Howard Miner flew 500 missions, three fourths of them at night. In 1943, they trained at Kaneohe with about three months to get their feet under them before being relieved by VP-12. Back at Guadalcanal, the mission changed to more of a rescue role. “During their first tour, 225 airmen were rescued out of 13 assists.”
Meet Ron at the Arlington Fly-In, July 11 to 13, one of the most popular sport aviation events in the West with lots of vintage aircraft. Find out where the book is available and more information online at http://ronminerlandscape.com/sketches-of-a-black-cat/ Blackout? So it had been sprinkling all week and the kids were stuck indoors. Whose fault is it they never learned to paint or write a young author best-seller? We’re not talking coloring books here. If you know a child who can read an entire book on summer vacation, you can thank a teacher. Creating a work of art takes time, time we don’t have or the passion ebbs and we cannot stay with it. No, it’s information and entertainment on demand. I’m afraid it will take more than an iPod to burn off that energy, so let’s make believe we are in a world where a shadowy enemy creates a virus that makes all those little screens go dark. What would we do? We might be tongue-tied at the start, but after the initial shyness, folks would have to fall back on using the spoken word. They would have to talk again. To each other. One can almost hear the Kleenex pop up in the doctor’s office waiting room, and while not real conversation, single words pass as small talk. “Co-pay?” “Follow up.” “Reschedule?” Best to go slow in the beginning. Authorities caution the noise level may return to some airport terminals without warning, thereby ruining the chance for napping by long-distance travelers. Some travelers have become hostile and warn of litigation if their personal tablet is violated. How long had the Administration known of the possibility of the great disconnect? And why was the public not warned? Where is the Hare Krishna when you need them? Independence I guess the flip side of Independence would be Dependence. By the same token, many couples who fall in love seem in a hurry to give up their independence, and when the object of their affection becomes overly dependent, independence is yearned for once again. Debbie Soto and David Peterson said their marriage vows on the beach at Rocky Point on July 5, 2008. I am glad I was there to see it. They are well suited to each other and stay best friends. They work at it every day, with open communication and humor. Their children are diving into adulthood with relish. The house is quieter. Go back to the beach and laugh as the tide nips your feet. It remembers you. Please write to me at stilltalking2009@ yahoo.com.

Chicken Little And the Astrologer

Dear Astrologer
This is the column dedicated to your inner Chicken Little. You know, the over-heated fear that crushes you awake at precisely 3:33 AM, the time you are most vulnerable to its worrisome scenarios of looming disaster. Chicken Little, we salute you. Your nightly cries of, “The Sky is Falling!” are truly just calls for knowledge and healing. Here, we bring your cries to light, for the final stage of healing is laughter.
The corporation I work for has just cut my position and I’m wondering what I should do. Do I take a lesser position with the company for less pay, or attend culinary school to become a chef? The thought of accepting a demotion makes me ill. I really want to open a restaurant someday, but I’m afraid to make the leap to cooking. Do you see anything to encourage me? Dec. 12, 19—at 3:23 AM in -----(city and state).
Dear Astrologer
* * *
Just read your column. Are you really a Vedic astrologer? Do you do private readings? I would be curious. I love Jyotish and would love to chat about my chart. Sade sati was a doozer with my moon in the third. Thankfully that’s over. Nov 21, 19-- at 5:30 PM in -----(city and state). Chatty About My Chart Dear Chatty It was bound to happen. You have unmasked me. Although I have never made the claim in this column, I really am a Vedic astrologer. I do private readings from my office at 749 SE Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor. For those who don’t know, the word Vedic refers to the Vedas, a vast collection of ancient knowledge preserved in India that dates back about 3500 years. An auxiliary body of technical lore, called the Vedangas, exists to assure the correct application of the Vedas. The Vedangas, or limbs, of the Vedas are six in number, with the sixth limb being Jyotish, or astrology.* The traditional Jyotish astrology of India differs from Western astrology in the way it calculates planetary positions. Because Jyotish uses a sidereal or star-based zodiac that differs from the Western zodiac by nearly a full sign, Westerners are often dismayed to discover that their planets and houses change signs in the Vedic system. About ten years ago, however, a daring and ingenious Vedic astrologer named Ernst Wilhelm began combining all of the Vedic principles of interpretation with the Western zodiac, with statistically superior results. Today, the followers of Wilhelm’s lead worldwide number several hundred, your columnist among them. An astrological renaissance has begun, including some of the most highly respected names in the field, holding promise of uniting East and West in a single unified astrology. Also for the unknowing, sade sati is a term from Vedic astrology that refers to the muchdreaded seven-and-a half year transit of one’s Moon by Saturn. In sade sati, Saturn crosses first the house preceding the Moon’s house, then the house containing the Moon, and finally, the house after the Moon’s house. Saturn’s transit typically brings divorces, bankruptcies, endings and failures by the drove, leaving the victim feeling lower than the skunk squashed flat by Ghandi’s ’39 Ford Coupe. Getting back to you, Chatty–I see why your sade sati was a ‘doozer.’** It’s because your Moon shares its house with Pluto, an ominous planetary guest whose behavior sometimes approximates Jack Nicholson’s performance in The Shining, or that of Robert Dinero in Angel Heart. As if Pluto permanently sacked out in Moon’s guest room were not a big enough problem, your Moon also has multiple planetary aspects from Scorpio, the sign equivalent of Pluto. A picture begins to emerge: Down in the black cellar of your psyche, things going
Reluctant to Gamble Dear Reluctant I see several encouraging things. First, your primary career planet is Venus, which can indicate many things, but food and food service are high on the list. Next, in order for education to happen for you now, you also need the influence of transiting Jupiter or Mercury on your fifth house. Lucky you: Jupiter is about to enter your fifth house, where it will remain for a year. During the year, Mercury will periodically add its influence, meaning that both of the two planets essential to your success are behind you in your desire to attend culinary school. The natural question–will continued education and the eventual career change prove profitable for you? A fine parsing of your birth chart data into what are called varga, or divisional charts, provides the answer. In your second and the fourth varga charts, which both deal with money and satisfaction from money, Venus as the career planet is in good shape. A flabby Venus in either chart would have signaled dissatisfaction with your cooking career. The fourth varga being in good shape is especially encouraging because it means you will profit in ways beyond just making ends meet. There is a downside to your proposed venture, in that it appears to cause a strain in your personal relationships. You didn’t say whether you are single or married. If married, I would say the changes are going to cause a financial hardship that falls on your spouse to make up. Whatever the reason, the two varga charts that describe your relationships both feature an unhappy Venus, which translates usually to an unhappy spouse. Be aware of that from the start and take extra care not to let little problems fester into major crisis. Venus in your 27th varga is Pisces, its exalted position, a positive indication that you will derive great emotional satisfaction from culinary school. I always check the 40th varga for indications of major setbacks in life. In your 40th, Venus is in a neutral state, meaning that your food career, and incidentally, you relationships, will never be a source of hurt. The other planets in your 40th are neutral or better, making you what I call disaster proof. Into each life some rain must fall, but you will always have an umbrella protecting you from the worst. The bottom line—you have the blessings of the planets to bag your corporate career and follow your heart to culinary school. So go chop and dice. Your sky will not fall. * * * What are you waiting for? No question or comment is too wild or wacky. Include your date and place of birth and, for a very specific answer, the all-important TIME of birth as listed on your birth certificate. Send it to Wesley at whallock@gmail.com. It’s fun and it’s free.

On Track with Jim Freeman
I knew it was going to be a good day when my ferry pass flew out of the truck window. The ferry pass, anxious to be going south toward the ferry to serve its designated purpose, was merely liberating itself, I suppose, since I was headed north toward Texaco Short Stop to pick up the latest copy of the Whidbey Weekly. What a company man I am. Getting my latest copy of our free, locally owned and operated Whidbey Weekly was more important to me than retrieving my ferry pass, somewhere out there on Highway 525. Or, did you pick it up and go to town for free, on me?
Locally operated. 16. It’s not whether you win or lose…but how you place the blame. 17. We have enough “youth”….how about a fountain of “smart”? 18. Money isn’t everything….but it sure keeps the kids in touch. Remember, as some wise soul once said, “Politicians and diapers should be changed often, and for the same reason.” He Passed the English Quiz No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between the two words, complete and finished. In a recently held linguistic competition in London, attended by supposedly the best linguists in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner, receiving a standing ovation which lasted over 5 minutes. The final question was: How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand. Some people say there is no difference in their meanings.
HELGA’S DIARY ON A CRUISE SHIP DEAR DIARY - DAY 1 All packed for the cruise ship – all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, and short sets. Really, really exciting. Our local Red Hat chapter - The Late Bloomers - decided on this “all-girls” trip. It will be my first one - and I can’t wait!
Here is Mr. Balgobin’s response.
DEAR DIARY - DAY 2 Entire day at sea, beautiful. Saw whales and dolphins. Met the Captain today – seems like a very nice man.
Balgobin won a trip to travel the world in style, plus a case of 25 year old rum.
DEAR DIARY - DAY 3 At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off the deck. Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. Felt honored and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive.
Prine Time Last Sunday, for the first time in my life, I went to the zoo by myself. I know, some of you are thinking I should be caged all the time.
DEAR DIARY - DAY 4 Won $800.00 in the ship’s casino. Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband. DEAR DIARY - DAY 5 Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks. Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night. Again I declined. He told me that if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship... I was shocked. DEAR DIARY - DAY 6 Today I saved 2600 lives. Twice. Aphorism Buffet According to my high school English teacher, Miss Margaret Reid of Oil City, Pennsylvania, an aphorism is a short, pointed sentence that expresses unexpected good ideas. Here are some of the best ones I have located since high school: 1. The nicest thing about the future is . . .that it always starts tomorrow. 2. Money will buy a fine dog . . .but only kindness will make him wag his tail. 3. If you don’t have a sense of humor . . .you probably don’t have any sense at all. 4. A good time to keep your mouth shut is . . . when you’re in deep water. 5. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark...to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? 6. Business conventions are important . . .because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without. 7. Why is it that at class reunions . . .you feel younger than everyone else looks? 8. No one has more driving ambition than the teenage boy (or girl) . . .who wants to buy a car .
“When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED, and when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!!”
Sure hope he did not run into Helga.
The Woodland Park Zoo is among the finest in the world. Having been on field trips with my 4th grade class to the Columbus Zoo, on field trips with my college fraternity to the St. Louis Zoo, and on field trips with my law school fraternity to the San Diego Zoo, I feel well versed on all things zooey. I recall our 4th grade trip when Gene Putterbaugh, the tallest kid in our class, got too close to the giraffe, the tallest one in his class. On that hot, humid, Buckeye boiler day, while Gene was looking at Carol Saxton, the giraffe ate Gene’s shirt which had been draped on Putterbaugh’s shoulder. In law school, while enjoying the vastness of the gorilla gathering at the San Diego Zoo, the alpha gorilla hit me in the chest with one of his dough balls. Having just made fun of him in front of my friends, I deserved to be the target, but the gorilla’s accuracy with his fast ball was alarming. Maybe some of the Padre scouts were there that day. Last Sunday, not only was I surprised to see so many wonderful exhibits, I was shocked at the size of the two brown bears and the coupling of two tortoises. Fortunately, there were no 4th graders viewing that awkward shell game. The biggest treat at the zoo, for me, was being able to see John Prine perform. Because I was flying solo, I flew right up to the front row and seated myself on my Seahawks windbreaker on a patch of wet grass. If you have not experienced the BECU ZooTunes summer season, give it a look-see. Now in their 30th year of bringing headliners to a user friendly and fun venue, the joy of concerting outdoors, rain or shine, is still the best. Prine was priceless. His story-style songwriting, tongue and cheek with every fret, kept the sold-out audience singing and laughing along. Prine’s opening song, Spanish Pipedream, set the tone for a wonderful Full Moon experience. She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
9. There are no new sins . . .the old ones just get more publicity.
Well she pressed her chest against me
10. No one ever says “It’s only a game” . . .when their team is winning.
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
11. I’ve reached the age where . . .’happy hour’ is a nap.
Chorus:
About the time the juke box broke And these are the words she spoke
12. The trouble with bucket seats is that . . .not everybody has the same size bucket.
Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper
13. Do you realize that, in about 40 years . . .we’ll have thousands of older women possibly running around with tattoos?
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
14. Always be yourself because the people that matter don’t mind . . .and the ones that mind don’t matter. 15. Life isn’t tied with a bow . . .but it’s still a gift.
Go to the country, build you a home Try and find Jesus on your own And on that note, we are off to get a bowl of peaches. Have a safe and fun 4th, particularly if you blow up your TV.

Mohs ‘genius’ joins Family Dermatology clinic in Coupeville By Eileen Brown Rebecca Bliek, office manager of Family Dermatology in Coupeville, announced, “We are thrilled to have Board-Certified Dermatologist and award-winning Mohs surgeon Dr. Mike Wentzell join the practice.” Particularly interested in skin cancer, Wentzell is a senior Mohs surgeon with 30 years of experience in Mohs surgery and reconstruction. He has performed over 17,000 Mohs operations since 1984. “He is called the most innovative Mohs surgeon in the world,” Rebecca added. Of course, Wentzell has many honors and awards to his credit. In fact, Wentzell just recently returned from Sydney and Auckland where he was invited to be a guest speaker. Wentzell has trained at some of the finest institutions in the United States, including the University of Rochester, Dartmouth and Northwestern University. He has a worldwide reputation as a developer of several reconstructive procedures currently used by surgeons. Some of the world’s top surgeons even call him a ”Genius.” The clinic staff can’t wait to work alongside this highly trained doctor. His expertise is sure to inspire them to learn everything they can to further their skills. “We believe in treating our patients like family.” Rebecca continued, “When they leave our office, we want them to have had a first-class experience.” She describes the list of services they provide as being medical dermatology, Mohs surgery, phototherapy, nail disorders and acne. Warts and moles that look like ink spots are carefully checked and biopsied. There is a sense of expectation at the clinic located at 205 Main Street, Building “B” in Coupeville. New faces are always exciting, and patients also find the change refreshing. “Staff members continue to provide the same solid care,” said Rebecca. “You probably recognize some of them, and we hope you will come in soon and meet the people who vow to give you the quality care you deserve. We want you to feel like family.” Look into the Family Dermatology Co. on the web at www.familydermco or call (360) 682-5024.
