MILITARY MUSTER NAS Whidbey Island, Washington

July 11- July 17, 2013

Personnel assigned to P-3C Orion squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island line up to tour the cabin of the Navy newest land-based, long-range, antisubmarine warfare (ASW) patrol aircraft, the P8A Poseidon. (Official Navy photo by MC2 Justin Rouse).

VP-16 Brings P-8A Poseidon to Whidbey Story by Lt. Pat Fisher, CPRW-10 Public Affairs The Navy’s newest land-based, long-range, antisubmarine warfare (ASW) patrol aircraft, the Boeing P8A Poseidon, came to NAS Whidbey Island June 16 to conduct training and evaluation on new and extensively upgraded capabilities from the older aircraft, the P-3C Orion.

The P-8A is the replacement to the aging, yet still capable, P-3C. During its week-long stay at NAS Whidbey Island it conducted ASW training and also worked with the EA-18G Growlers to evaluate onboard sensors. The detachment aircrew even hosted a static display for those interested in getting a look inside the new

high-tech aircraft.

The Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Fla. based VP-16 is the first operational land-based ASW squadron to transition from the P-3C to the newer and much more modern P-8A. “It was relatively easy for us in the back of the plane, as the changes are just software for the most part,” said LT Ryan Burke, P-8A Tactical Coordinator, Mission Commander and Detachment Officer-in-Charge. “The pilots had the most difficulty due to having to learn a completely new type mission set to include jet propulsion over turbo-prop engines, more electronics in the flight station, and the removal of the flight engineer.”

Maintenance personnel also found themselves adjusting to the new aircraft somewhat easier than expected.

“My instructors told me to forget everything I learned about the P-3!” explained AT2 Brown of VP-16. “While a few parts are quite similar to the P-3, that’s where they end. It’s a completely new aircraft from nose to tail with new systems and complex ways of tying everything together and we’re learning more every single day.”

VP-16 will deploy with the P-8A later this year to the Seventh Fleet area of responsibility. It will mark the P-8A’s first deployment with a squadron.

VAQ-140 ends 5-month combat deployment on USS Eisenhower The Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 140 “Patriots” arrived home on July 1, 2013, following a five-month combat deployment aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).

Since departing on deployment in February 2013, the Patriots supported Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) by flying 90 combat sorties, logging 661.2 flight hours.

The squadron of 200 personnel arrived on two airlifts today and July 1. No EA-6B Prowlers flew back into Whidbey due to VAQ-140’s transfer of jets to the U.S. Marine Corps. VAQ-140 will now transition to the new EA-18G Growler.

“We have a remarkable squadron because our Sailors care about each other, our squadron and our Navy,” said Cmdr. Joe Martinez, VAQ-140’s Commanding Officer. “The bottom line is our entire Patriot family has sacrificed to meet our nation’s calling and I am extremely proud to be a part of this team.”

The Patriots have been operating at the tip of the spear for the past two years.

In June 2011, the squadron embarked on USS Eisenhower in support of Operation Unified Protector in Libya. Soon The family of Ensign Gilbert Garcia runs to greet him on the evening of July 1, 2013 as he returns home to Naval Air thereafter, VAQ-140 went right into Station Whidbey Island after five months deployed with Electronic Attack Squadron 140 Patriots aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).

Eisenhower (CVN 69) with Electronic Attack Squadron 140 Patriots. (Photo by Aviation Structural Mechanic 3rd Class Brittany Burke)

After returning back to NAS Whidbey Island for the holidays, the Patriots received a short-notice schedule change and underwent a six-week maintenance period during the 2012 holidays in preparation for its most recent OEF deployment. While deployed, squadron personnel visited liberty ports in Marseille, France; Manama, Bahrain; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and Lisbon, Portugal.

Also returning were 17 service members from the Sea Operational Detachment from Fleet Readiness Center Northwest who provide technical support to keep the jets in top condition.

Race the Reserve

Comments Sought on Proposed Ferry Fare Increase Across-the-board ferry-fare increases are being proposed by the Washington State Transportation Commission. The increase is necessary to ensure the state meets the ferry-fare-revenue target set by the Legislature in the recently enacted 2013 - 2015 transportation budget.

The commission is seeking public comment on the proposal during the coming weeks and plans to make a final decision during its meeting at 3:00pm Tuesday, July 30, at Union Station in Seattle.

The commission’s proposal is based on recommendations from Washington State Ferries and members of the citizen-based Ferry Advisory Committee on Tariffs. The proposal includes a number of fare and policy changes, which are summarized below. Detailed information on the proposal, including fare tables, is available on the commission’s website: www.wstc.wa.gov.

All proposed changes would take effect on October 1, 2013, unless otherwise noted. Key elements of the proposal are:

Filled with historic farms, forests and awe-inspiring views of the Olympic Mountains, the second annual Race the Reserve Half Marathon, 10K and 5K will be held Saturday, August 10, 2013. Organized by the Coupeville High School Class of 2014 parents, the event is a fundraiser for a safe 2014 graduation party.

The race is set to take runners through the national parkland area known as the Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Runners will start the out-and-back course for the race at Mickey Clark Field next to the Coupeville Elementary School. From there, the course makes two loops around the grounds of Ebey’s Landing, starting off with a roughly three-milelong loop and then a second, longer loop, which unfolds along Terry Road, Fort Casey Road and South Engle Road before heading back toward the school, where runners will cross the finish line on the running track.

Event day registration and check-in at 6:30am.

The scheduled starting time for the race is 8:30am, and runners will have 3 hours to complete the half marathon. Chip timing provided by BuDu Racing, LLC. The 10K and 5K will begin at 9:00am. Register at racethereserve. com. For more information, email racethereservewhidbeyisland@gmail.com.

Interested in Forming a FIRST Lego League (FLL) Robotics Team?

Oak Harbor High School Robotics Club will support you.

FLL is a competition for kids ages 9-14 who want to have fun designing and building Lego

robots in teams of 3-10 people. Kids build a robot, compete, and present projects based on the year’s theme. Oak Harbor Robotics Club ran two FLL teams last fall and the kids had a blast.

In order to reach more students, the team is looking for parents who want to engage their kids in the wonders of science and robotics by leading a FIRST Lego League team.

In return, Oak Harbor Robotics Club will provide participating teams with once weekly practice sessions on their FLL practice fields at OHHS and outsource several high school students (many of whom who have already experienced FLL) to attend FLL team meetings and help mentor.

They will also provide advice and assistance with registration and help to introduce new teams to the FIRST community.

Commitments of an FLL Leader: Registration ends September 30 (or when all slots are filled) so registering and contacting team members before school starts.

Meeting 2-3 times a week from mid-September to the end of November. Most meetings would need to be held at a private residence or public place.

Costs: Teams will need to cover approximately $300 in registration and tournament fees and $435 to buy at least one NXT Robotics kit.

Other costs include team T-shirts and additional Legos if needed. These costs are typically split between team members, so for a large team typically the cost per child is $100 or less.

For more information about FLL, check out http://www.firstwa.org/FLL/FLLOverview.aspx, contact Oak Harbor Robotics Club’s head mentor, Mr. Che Edoga at eedoga@ohsd.net, or contact the student leadership at OHHS2980@ gmail.com. The team will host an FLL kickoff meeting on September 14 at 6:00pm, room B119 at OHHS. Please RSVP using one of the above contacts. However, if you are interested in running or being a part of a team, it is important that get in touch before then, as the FLL “season” officially starts August 27, before the start of school. You can contact the team for information before committing, so get in touch early and learn how you can boost your child’s future with FIRST Lego League robotics.

Castellano Named to State Museum Board Island County Historical Society and Museum Executive Director, Rick Castellano, was recently elected to a 3-year term on the Washington Museum Association (WaMA) Board of Directors. The 10-member board represents museums of all sizes from throughout Washington State. Castellano was elected at WaMA’s 2013 annual conference, held June 12-14 in Ellensburg. WaMA is active in museum advocacy, and hosts “Heritage Day” each year in Olympia, where museum professionals meet with elected officials to discuss political issues concerning museum operations. They also assist memberorganizations by providing technical

New EMT Graduates Join South Whidbey Fire/EMS

During this traditional time of graduation, South Whidbey Fire/EMS is glad to announce that seven local community members recently became certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). Instead of focusing on reading, writing, and arithmetic, their schooling was all about preparing them to treat medical emergencies ranging from allergic reactions to broken zygomatic (cheek) bones.

South Whidbey Fire and EMS now has 56 volunteer emergency medical technicians. The recent graduates and their stations are: Dareld Chittim and Anne Collins, Maxwelton; Brent Davison, Clinton; Kelly Cammermeyer, Will Piepenbrink, and Pamela Uhlig, Langley; and Mark Swenson, Saratoga.

The EMTs completed the extensive training and successfully passed the various examinations as required by the Washington State Department of Health and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. The state of Washington requires students to complete over 150 hours of instruction, and pass both written and practical examinations. These requirements take over three months to complete. Students are evaluated on 17 different skill sets. In addition to the in-class instruction and evaluations, students must have seven patient contacts under the supervision of a paramedic.

Once students have successfully completed all of the above requirements, they must then pass the National EMT Registry written exam. While any individual can choose to complete these requirements, actually becoming a certified EMT requires them to be connected with a sponsoring agency such as South Whidbey Fire/EMS. After completing the initial certification process, the recertification process requires completion of specific ongoing training and evaluation programs every three years. The clear purpose of these requirements is to prepare EMTs for the various emergencies they will respond to, while ensuring continued professional development throughout their years of service.

Castellano has served as Executive Director of Island County Historical Society and Museum since late 2006.

After becoming certified, the volunteer responders carry a pager that alerts them of medical emergencies in the SWFE response area and the EMT responds at all times that they are available. Responders may also sign up for duty shifts where they staff a Medical Emergency Response Vehicle (MERV). During these shifts, EMTs have committed to being immediately available and respond in this fullyequipped vehicle. Community members have probably seen the red and white response vehicles throughout the community. Some of the key advantages of having these staffed MERVs are that they are standing by within our various neighborhoods and community centers rather than only specific stations and the responding EMTs arrive with a wide variety of emergency medical supplies including an AED. As a result, arriving EMTs often begin patient care prior to the arrival of a Whidbey General Hospital ambulance and paramedics. Once the paramedics arrive, SWFE and Whidbey General Hospital responders work together to provide care, and the ambulance can transport the patient to the hospital if needed.

Shields explains that, “Our mutual response with Whidbey General Hospital makes it possible to have responders available from numerous locations, gets help to people quickly before an ambulance arrives, and provides the needed amount of responders for the emergencies we are called to.”

SWFE always welcomes individuals who would like to join their team. While successful participation obviously requires a substantial commitment, the opportunity to serve your community during an emergency is extremely rewarding.

For instance, Kelly Cammermeyer agreed that all of her time and effort toward becoming one of SWFE’s newest EMT’s will be very worthwhile. “The greatest reward of serving as an EMT will be helping people and becoming involved in my community in a new way.”

The next EMT training course in Island County will begin in January. Trainings in 2014 will be held in central or north Whidbey. In 2015, the training will return to South Whidbey. The fire department covers the expenses of completing the course in return for active participation once the individual becomes certified. Those interested in possibly becoming an active member of the SWFE team as an EMT should contact EMS Division Chief Connie Shields at ems@swfe.org.

Activities will happen at 5 locations throughout Bayview Corner:

Underage buyers, working under the supervision of law enforcement, visited local businesses and attempted to purchase alcoholic beverages.

Employees and employers caught selling alcohol to minors were arrested for selling alcohol to minors. These arrests are considered a criminal offense (Gross Misdemeanor). The maximum penalty for the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors in Washington State is $5,000 with up to one year in jail. Compliance checks resulting in sales will be referred to the appropriate agencies for prosecution.

Also of concern of the Oak harbor Youth Commission is the practice of adults allowing alcohol to be served in their homes to youth.

“Youth are able to access alcohol through friends and other adults at an alarming rate.

This fact should be a call to action for the community to reach not just retail businesses but parents and other adults that host parties,” says Ron Lawler, Oak Harbor Youth Commission member. He also says that “Parents Who Host, Lose the Most. Don’t be a PARTY to teenage drinking. It’s against the law.”

Whidbey Audubon Society has awarded scholarships to three Whidbey Island high school graduating seniors who have actively worked to preserve environmental quality and who plan to follow careers in conservation.

OHYC Compliance Check Results

The Oak Harbor Police Department, along with Washington State Liquor Control, conducted alcohol compliance checks on ten businesses in Oak Harbor. The purpose of the checks are to assess the level of availability of alcohol within our community and prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors. Seventy percent of the compliant businesses checked for identification and properly verified the young person’s age. Of the business found non-compliant, 30% of the businesses did not check for identification at all.

The goal of the grant is to support initiatives that deter underage drinking in the Oak Harbor community. Efforts by the Oak Harbor Police Department and Oak Harbor Youth Commission will raise awareness of law enforcement efforts to address underage drinking and reaffirm the community perception that underage drinking is not acceptable.

still talkinG

By Eileen Brown

You’re still out of work and you can’t catch up.

Now you’re sick and need your medicine but you just can’t afford it.

What you need is a safety net.

Ever hear of the Medical Safety Net in Oak Harbor?

This program, born out of compassion to fill a real need, provides immediate temporary assistance with urgent uncovered prescription drug costs to people living in zip codes 98277 and 98278.

The idea was received with enthusiasm in Coupeville where it is called Small Miracles and at the south end of Whidbey Island, they call it Friends of Friends. The North Whidbey Medical Safety Net (MSN) program is now three years old and growing. It is a compliment to all three agencies that they fulfill needs the entire length of the island.

MSN began paying for prescription drugs in 2010. In 2012, they served 141 people and paid for 605 prescriptions. With a dedicated crew and highly-principled leadership, they have served 330 people since they were established.

Liz Turpin, board member, said, “It’s thanks to the individuals, families and businesses on North Whidbey that we have been able to help those with urgent medical expenses and have no means of paying for them.”

Volunteers administer the program with professionalism and confidentiality.

Turpin has a unique gift idea for the person who has everything: a donation in their name to Medical Safety Net. The feeling they get from helping someone they may never meet cannot be compared to a new tie for the man who has dozens of them.

When a family writes “No flowers, please” at the end of a newspaper obituary, making a donation to Medical Safety Net in his or her honor carries with it a message of hope.

Many people who want to contribute on a regular basis budget a certain amount every month. Use your imagination and come up with ideas for a bake sale or special fundraiser. It all adds up.

“We want to continue meeting the needs of as many people as possible,” Turpin said, noting they do set limits on how much assistance is available to any one individual over the course of a year. Payments go directly to the providers and not to individuals. They cannot reimburse for bills already paid.

It makes me proud to live here. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask. Call (360) 929-3328 and leave a message. A volunteer will call you back within 24 hours. Also visit their website at www.msnofnw.org.

Couple spared at bridge The recent bridge collapse over the Skagit River near College Way has been seen countless times as footage on TV news or in person by sightseers. Few, however, got as close to the danger as Irene and David Ruiz of Oak Harbor.

“My husband was driving us to Seattle so we could babysit our grandkids. Our children were taking a brief anniversary trip,” Irene said, the shakiness in her voice still apparent after several weeks had passed.

“It happened in seconds,” she continued. “I had fallen asleep when I heard my husband swear and the car hit a kind of bump. I later learned the ‘bump’ was from our car tires jumping onto the stable part of the bridge.”

Irene said the rims were bent and the strap-

pings to the BMW’s muffler were damaged.

David saw the truck hit the bridge but after regaining his composure, heard the noise made by the tires. Irene and David knew something was wrong with their vehicle’s back wheels, and traveled no more than 5 or 6 mph to the gas station across from Lowe’s.

Irene recalls seeing a pilot truck, the kind that carries a “WIDE LOAD” sign, traveling with the over-sized vehicle that clipped the bridge, sending it crashing.

WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND? This week, Peter Hunt, a former Navy pilot and United Airlines aviator, plus an active member of the Oak Harbor School Board, looks at the best ways to integrate Open Education Resources into the classroom. Hunt is the author of two books: Angles of Attack, An A-6 Intruder Pilot’s War, and Setting the Hook, A Diver’s Return to the Andrea Doria.

Columns run every other week. Would you like to be the next guest columnist? Please e-mail me at publisher@whidbeyweekly.com.

“I saw the driver with her face in her hands.

‘They are going to kill me,’ said the truck driver. I should have told him to stay in the middle.’”

Then came the wait for a return call by the police. They finally talked about a week later and recorded Irene’s statement.

Another couple from Oak Harbor, driving a small pickup truck, actually got dumped in the chilly water but were quickly rescued and taken to the hospital for observation.

“I try not to dwell on it, on what might have happened,” Irene added, “We are OK.” She finds herself silently thanking the Universe for her good life and 72 years.

“If David gets out of sorts, I just remind him that this is a beautiful day.”

Equal as never before Major General Patricia Rose is the highest ranking out member of the gay-lesbian community.

Those who know her from her job in Public Relations at Whidbey General Hospital know her as simply “Trish,” but officially, she is a Major General as promoted May 31 by the U.S. Air Force.

Rose is the first openly-serving lesbian to earn a second star and the highest-ranking member of the gay-lesbian community currently serving in an open capacity.

The promotion ceremony took place at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

Rose’s wife Julie Roth, who served in the Navy for 22 years, pinned on her second star.

Rose is the Mobilization Assistant to the Commander of Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) at Wright-Patterson, where she is responsible for ensuring reservists are trained to the same level of proficiency as their active duty counterparts.

According to General Janet Wolfenbarger, AFMC commander, who served as General Rose’s promoting officer, “We are very careful in choosing individuals who have the right mix of experience, wisdom, character and leadership to fill positions of responsibility. This is absolutely the case today with General Rose.”

Palm Center director Aaron Belkin added “when gay and lesbian service members were forced to conceal their identities, they often paid a high price. And when they told the truth about who they are, the military lost a lot of good people. The community takes great pride in General Rose’s promotion, both for her personally, but also as a milestone of how far the military has come.”

Our end of the road July 4 came and went as it always does, but without Joe down at his end of the road, while down at my end of the road, Patrick and Sally welcomed friends with good food and company. Thanks for continuing the tradition. Hope to see y’all next year.

By Peter Hunt

Moore’s Law famously proposes that the nature of technological innovation dictates that computing power is destined to double every two years, a dictum that has proven to be eerily accurate for the past four decades. Advances in technology permeate every aspect of our lives, and predicting the precise path and proper role of rapidly changing technological tools is an ever present challenge, especially when any particular positive innovation can be quickly adapted to purposes perhaps never envisioned. For example, facial recognition technology spices up social media with such things as “tagging” photos with names for Facebook, but also raises serious concerns when connections are made to personal data, which in turn leads to potential personal privacy and identity theft issues.

Fortunately, in our secondary schools and universities, “Open Education Resources” appear to introduce all positives and so far few negative, at least if carefully considered and integrated into the classroom.

“Open Education Resources” (or OER) is a philosophy and a practical resource.

The philosophy is that there is no advantage to mankind in husbanding knowledge, and in fact, there is a moral imperative in sharing virtually everything at no cost (to a point; WMD technology comes to mind). OER espouses that knowledge is not a zero sum game and it is to everyone’s benefit to share what they have learned. That is why many major universities like MIT share their courses online for free.

Some OER resources, like the well-

known “Khan Academy” (Google it if unfamiliar), can be extremely useful in filling curriculum gaps or can serve as entire courses. Teachers have been augmenting their classes with OER for years, although often without realizing it, with non-copyrighted resources found at the library and now online. OER can be something as simple as a news story or blog for a current events discussion.

But these examples are just the very tip of the iceberg.

OER offer the potential – if properly and carefully incorporated into a school system -- of providing the flexible, adaptable, and updateable tools necessary to accelerate student learning through both innovations in traditional educational materials, for example textbooks, and teaching style as well.

No one knows for certain what the classroom will look like in five, 10 or 20 years, but it is becoming an increasingly safe bet that OER will play a significant role. The Oak Harbor School district, through its T3 program, is at the forefront of investigating the best ways to integrate OER into the classroom. Oak Harbor recently organized a regional workshop with other school districts in Anacortes, a part of which was a two-hour panel discussion by four Oak Harbor teachers and a school board member on our lessons learned and plans for the future, both big and small.

There is much, much more, but for now please remember these three letters: OER. I predict that you will be hearing a lot more about it in the coming years.

chicken little and the astRoloGeR

By Wesley Hallock

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.

Dear Astrologer

* * *

For the last four years (after my Mother’s death) I have been in a holding pattern. Not really jumping into a new career or my home based business or taking up my art again... and no real relationship on the horizon either.

I have studied astrology for 30+ years but not Vedic Astrology. Can you give me any insight and or hope for the future on either or both fronts? My info is: 3/7/45 1:20AM Elgin, ILL. Thank you for any insight you can give me.

P.S. - I enjoy your column. Have started reading about Indian astrology.

Nancy Dear Nancy Indian astrology is the Cracker Jack box of knowledge. The prize at the bottom, the mystery gift that keeps us ever munching and digging, with the occasional pause to lick the sweetness from our fingers, is reunion with our unbounded Self. The Self knows in infinite detail all that was, is or will ever be. So you may skip the last-minute breath mint.

A good way to begin looking at a birth chart using the Vedic techniques of India is to notice which planetary period is active, and in which house. Since July of 1997 you’ve been living the planetary period of Rahu*in the eighth house.

The eighth is nicknamed ‘the flawed house’.

Anything expressed through the eighth is understood to be flawed, just awaiting the excuse to break. Rahu period offers the perfect excuse.

Rahu is to art, business and career what dynamite is to duck ponds. Very upsetting to the tranquility, and it annoys the ducks. Rahu delivers compulsions, discontent and radical change of the uncontrollable kind—the antithesis of the stability required to grow a business or to attract the artist’s muse. Under Rahu, hasty decisions deliver poor outcomes. Crisis management is a term invented for Rahu.

Your eighth is ruled by Moon, whose placement in your first house means that these Rahu-inspired breaks are somehow traceable back to your physical condition and your life path. How? Look to the lunar sign, or nakshatra, of your Moon for clues.

Your Moon sign is Jyestha, whose pervading theme is about aloneness. The Moon is the best single descriptor of a person and this trait of preferring to work alone and succeed through their own efforts is the hallmark of Jyestha people. Betrayal, abandonment and jealousy in love is another theme, which plays out by putting the person where, in the deepest part of themselves, they are happiest— alone.

Jyestha people come wanting to be the doer of great deeds, which implies someone for whom to do those deeds. A karmic battle arises, thus, a push-pull of struggling to overcome self-created isolations.

The good news is that your Rahu period and its attendant stress ends relatively soon, on March 10, 2015. That marks the begin-

*Rahu is a mathematically determined point of interaction between Sun and Moon, granted planetary status in Indian astrology. Granting corporations status as people may or may not be similar. More data is needed on the interactions of corporations. * * * Dear Astrologer Is this the end of my journey? To be capsulated here on the island, never to experience far off lands again? Am I to be tethered to a life of mundane and predictable? Why can’t I be contented in my self-made Shangri-La? Hopes of adventure evade me as I struggle with my husband’s ill health. Plans for the last chapter of my life have gone radically wry.

Shall I throw in the towel and try to have a small but unsatisfying life in one spot or is there hope of world service. Help! Feb. 20, 19--, at 9:48 AM in (city and state).

Heroes for Ghosts Dear Heroes for Ghosts Parts of the above letter from Nancy - specifically, the workings of Rahu - apply also to you.

You, like Nancy, are living a planetary period of Rahu, but in your seventh house, the house of husband and distant travels. The ‘dynamite in the duck pond’ effect of Rahu is impacting you through your spouse, and through ‘radical and uncontrollable changes’ to your plans for travel.

Rahu, as I said, delivers ‘compulsions and discontent.’ Thus, you cannot ‘be contented,’ as you said. Your Rahu period continues until August 15, 2018. No matter what happens between now and then, it will bring you little satisfaction.

I do not think it’s your option to throw in the towel and settle for a small and simple life. Powerful forces of transformation are lining up in your life as the agents of needed changes. Beginning in the final days of this coming December, and lasting through July of 2014, you will experience changes not imaginable now. You have nothing to fear from these. They come in answer to your call for help and they will set you free.

Your feeling of being tethered is a perfect description of the effects of Saturn. Saturn is transiting the same house, your seventh, to the detriment of your husband’s health, as you’ve shared. Saturn changes signs twice during your Rahu period, first in 2015, and then again in 2018 when the Rahu period ends.

The 2015-2018 interval marks the end of your twenty-nine-year Saturn cycle. You will use that three-year time to further the restructuring brought about in 2014. You presently feel that your life is over, when really you are being prepared for a new beginning.

The root of your desire to be of world service is in your Moon sign, Uttara Bhadrapada.

Read about your sign on the Internet to better understand yourself. Filling the needs of others is a basic trait. When the Rahu period of your life ends in 2018, the Moon period begins, and, in line with your Moon’s basic trait, will come the chance to travel and serve as you desire.

Until then, remember: You don’t have to leave home to serve the world. For, as big as the world is, you are bigger. Everywhere you go, there you are. * * * 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

The older I get, the more I appreciate Independence Day as a day of remembrance.

Not only do we celebrate nationally by violating noise ordinances, fireworks bans, and our neighborhood CCRs (covenants, conditions and restrictions, not Creedence Clearwater Revival), but we also force the price drop of hot dog buns by at least 50%.

Last weekend, I too, was a victim of hot dog bun price wars, consuming enough hot dogs myself to feel as if I was entered in a Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest, the Skinless Division, of course.

Maybe it was because I was dog sitting?

This subliminal, subconscious stuff drives me porky.

Got Secret?

After seeing the recent releases, Man of Steel and The Lone Ranger, back-to-back, I am reminded of the significance of secrecy during my childhood.

Not only did our family endorse secrecy by allowing us to view I’ve Got A Secret, What’s My Line?, and To Tell the Truth, we saw Mom and Dad hide their Salem cigarettes and Bourbon Deluxe in the trees, just a few miles outside the city limits, when we went to visit Grandpa in the summer.

What difference did it make that Grandpa was a preacher in a dry county?

Our first social clubs as kids were filled with secrecy.

Secret handshakes, secret hand signals, secret passwords.

Most of those fraternity passwords and secret phrases were in Latin, so, thanks to Mom, who made me take all the dead languages, I knew what we were saying.

If my fraternity brothers had known that labor omnia vincit meant work conquers all, they never would have tolerated Hell Week.

Remember when we had to change that expression to Help Week?

Talk about secrets.

One of the neat things about Ancestry.com is we can research our own secrets.

We discovered real anniversary dates, real last names, real relationships, and real confusion.

There is a fine line between a secret and not knowing the truth.

One of my favorite teachers taught us to “never say the thing that is disruptive.”

Dad always told us to know our audience before we spoke.

Mom always said, “Don’t tell them that; it could hurt their feelings.”

Recently, Paula Deen was honest about a secret and lost.

Ben Franklin’s “honesty is the best policy” may only work in policy matters that are publicly governmental.

Snowden’s secrets, on and off the court, may be secrets forever.

We kept it a secret from Grandpa when our brother, a Presbyterian by default, married a Catholic.

Please don’t post this on Secretbook.

Our great-grandparents kept their secret from everyone.

Why tell the neighbors you are cousins when you can be husband and wife instead?

No wonder they got along.

No wonder we all look alike.

Easy, Freeman, some people may believe this.

Don’t you want to keep all this a secret?

Caution: Adult Humor Below An elderly couple had just learned how to send text messages on their cell phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy.

One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee. She decided to send her husband a romantic text message and she wrote:

11

LoCaLLy opEratEd. “If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.

If you are laughing, send me your smile.

If you are eating, send me a bite.

If you are drinking, send me a sip.

If you are crying, send me your tears.

I love you.”

The husband texted back to her: “I’m on the toilet. Please advise.”

Barista Heaven Not that coffee has anything to do with it, but we do want to thank the five baristas down at the end of Newman Road, in Freeland.

These ladies of the early morning and late afternoon caffeine are boothed at Southern Cross, Too, across from Maple Ridge, home of the best assisted living chow on the south end.

Excuse any misspellings, but we here at the Beta Boys Club, a group of tired, older men with Beta format video machines from the 70s’, do want to tip our baseball caps, some covering less hair than others, to sister baristas, Amy and Megan Hull, Heather Saxton, Kathi Wikum, and Chelsea McHugh.

Put all those letters together and you will have one of the best looking eye charts you have ever seen.

Understanding Engineers In honor and praise of our many talented engineers here in the maritime rain shadow, the following pieces of sarcasm are offered for analysis: • Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?” The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.” The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”

• To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

• The graduate with a science degree asks, “Why does it work?” The graduate with an engineering degree asks, “How does it work?”

The graduate with an accounting degree asks, “How much will it cost?” The graduate with an arts degree asks, “Do you want fries with that?”

• Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed the human body. One said, “It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints.” Another said, “No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections.” The last one said, “No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?”

• Normal people believe if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

• An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.”

He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn back into a beautiful princess and stay with you for one week.”

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you for one week and do anything you want.” Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess and that I’ll stay with you for one week and do anything you want.

Why won’t you kiss me?” The engineer said, “Look, I’m an engineer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog - now that’s cool.”

Good Advice Once we folks are old enough to qualify for Medicare, it seems our stock goes up on the advice front. Never have I been asked for so much advice from the younger set as I have this summer.

Nonetheless, I heard a good one last week from a high school buddy who, after many years of intense arguing during his marriage, offered this gem to Jim: “Twenty years ago I decided I could either be happy or be right. I decided to be happy.”

Let the silence remain, boys!

ShoNuff Foods

Authentic Southern Goodness

By Helen Bates Riddle me this: When is a restaurant not a restaurant?

Possible answer: When it has four wheels and serves a moveable feast like ShoNuff Foods.

This portable eatery is Whidbey Island’s contribution to the growing trend of mobile kitchens. Hot dog vendors and taco trucks have been around for quite awhile. Today creative cooks are venturing into a wider variety of cuisines.

Nearby Seattle has over forty of these moveable eateries serving everything from sandwiches to soups - from vegan to Vietnamese. And new food trucks are appearing every day.

In New York we heard about truck vendors selling varieties of mac and cheese, while others specialize in various kinds of peanut butter sandwiches. We’re lucky on Whidbey Island! ShoNuff Foods serves up a variety of good, old Southern foods.

Owners Fred and Barbara Bennett, both of whom hale from Florida, say they learned to cook from the best - their own mothers and grandmothers. But their culinary training did not stop there.

Fred has cooked in kitchens throughout the South. He has also earned his AA from the Culinary Arts Institute in Seattle. We are fortunate that his love of cooking is richly complemented by his wife’s love of baking.

Barbara is no newcomer to the art of cooking and baking. She received her formal training as a Culinary Specialist (CS) while in the U.S. Navy, then went on to earn college credits in that field.

prima bistro The patio is open.

The umbrellas are up.

Mondays are restaurant industry day (20% off) Every day is teacher discount day (10% off) Thursdays are live music night!

Prima Bistro...so magical that ferries take you there Óä£Ê£ÉÓÊ ÀÃÌÊ-ÌÀiiÌÊUÊ > } iÞ

www.primabistro.com

360-221-4060

The Bennetts have put their talents to good use. As their menu states, “ShoNuff Foods was started in 2005 in Bremerton, WA. After years of catering for friends and weddings all over Whidbey Island and Bremerton…” They moved to Oak Harbor about eight years ago.

Their menu is not wide, but it does not have to be to satisfy a craving for savory food of the South. Barbecued sandwiches and sides such as red beans and rice, collard greens and macaroni and cheese are standbys. At $8, their sandwich combos come with a choice of meat (pulled pork, brisket or chicken), along with one side item and a drink.

For the heartier eater, three different meat combo platters are offered. All come with a choice of meats mentioned above plus ribs. Beans and rice and a choice of mac and cheese or collard greens, along with a serving of cornbread and a soda finish out the combo. Prices for the meat combos range from $9 to $15, depending upon how many meats you order. A half rack of ribs is $16, a full rack $25.

Mrs. Barbara, as she is fondly called, serves up a variety of mouth-watering desserts made from recipes handed down in her family, along with some original ones of her own. A few of these that might be available include sweet potato pie, chocolate cake, pound cake, German chocolate cake, coconut cake, apple pie, red velvet cake, chocolate chip cookies, or peanut butter cookies - just to name a few.

Desserts vary with the day, and prices vary with the dessert. Most are available by the slice or whole cake or pie. Please check with Mrs. Barbara for the desserts of the day. There is usually more than one.

The Bennetts still offer their catering services for dinners and special events. Mrs. Barbara says their list of offerings is “endless,” and vary according to the wishes of the client. Besides all the foods listed above, a menu could include fried chicken, turkey (fried or smoked), sausages, pork loin, tri-tip beef, steaks, salmon, and much more. For that reason, prices vary according to the menu and number being served.

For current information regarding their services and food, please contact the Bennetts at (360)473-7399 or (360)4717780. Their website address is www.shonufffoods.com. They are also listed on Facebook.

Remember when your taste buds are craving savory Southern food, head for ShoNuff Foods! Their big red mobile kitchen can be found off Goldie Road in an industrial park at 618A Oak Street. But don’t expect a fancy restaurant.

Just park your car and step up to order your food. Or, if you prefer, call ahead to place your order for pick-up. Their hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday, 11:00am to 3:00pm.

On Thursdays you will find their barbecue stand at the Oak Harbor Farmers’ Market from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. On Saturdays, they are located at the Coupeville Farmers’ Market from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

That’s where my husband and I first tasted some of their delicious barbecue. We both ordered a sandwich combo with brisket sandwiches and red beans and a soda. We also took an apple pie and a sweet potato pie home with us. We enjoyed every morsel!

The Bennetts say their goal is “to show the great Northwest how good Southern food is done.” This reviewer believes they have met their goal. To paraphrase their slogan, they, truly, are the good people who feed good people good food.
