Casting for Pinks at Tilth, plus Timothy Hull Live

Recently information listing Whidbey Audubon Society and our Pigeon Guillemot Research Survey was posted on signs that were used to close a portion of beach on the south end of Mutiny Bay in Freeland. We would like the public to know that Whidbey Audubon Society never gave its permission for the use of its name and research project for this purpose. Neither Audubon nor our research group has any need, interest in or advocacy for closing beaches. Our Guillemot Research Group has been active for nine years studying over 25 nesting colony sites around Whidbey Island. For decades these charismatic seabirds have coexisted with local shoreline residents and beach walkers. We are grateful for the many volunteer citizen scientists and private beach owners who have aided us in this research and we look forward to continuing this important work. Ann Casey President, Whidbey Audubon Society

Whidbey Island Triathlon Seeks 100+ Volunteers South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District (SWPRD) proudly announces the 17th Annual Whidbey Island Triathlon set for Saturday, August 3. SWPRD is seeking volunteers in all areas, from trail marshals to clean-up crew. Over the course of 2 days, they will need to fill over 100 volunteer positions. Approximately 300 athletes will be looking to volunteers for encouragement, assistance and support. Volunteers are the heart of this event, and the SWPRD couldn’t do it without them. The spectacular course that sets the stage for the annual Whidbey Island Triathlon endurance event starts off with a half mile swim in Goss Lake, followed by a 19.5 mile bike course along the scenic island roads offering views of Saratoga Passage and the North Cascades. This popular annual physical challenge culminates with a 3.8 mile run through serene forest trails at Community Park. The Whidbey Triathlon, staged in the heart of breathtaking Whidbey Island, attracts all ages and abilities and is open to individual participants as well as team competitions. It is very popular in the Northwest as a first-time challenge for novice and rookie triathletes.

Learn precision casting techniques from Kevin Lungren of the Fishin’ Club at the South Whidbey Tilth Farmers’ Market during its hours 11:00Am to 2:00pm on Sunday, July 28. Lungren will have hoola-hoop targets set up on the grounds for visitors to practice casting from boat or beach for the big Humpback Salmon run this summer. This salmon species, also known as Pink or Humpy, runs every other year and this is the year. Lungren advises novice fishermen and fisherwomen to practice casting, “so we all get along.” He’ll have lots of other information about fishing.

support to complete the project. This celebration will include a first-hand look of the new site and the work completed to date with fun activities planned for visitors of all ages. WAIF operates the largest island-wide “lifesaving” shelter where healthy, adoptable cats and dogs are cared for until they are placed into permanent suitable homes. The current facility operates out of a temporary building located on the Island County Solid Waste Complex. A new shelter is necessary to enhance the quality care and services in a compassionate, safe and hygienic environment. The new facility will also increase educational and pet care opportunities, along with creating a shelter that all Whidbey residents can be proud to call their own. Early fall 2014, construction for the new shelter will begin for a much-improved modern building that will include six acres of dog walking trails. WAIF has resisted borrowing money for the project, preferring to “remain in the black” with donations from private donors. Come join WAIF and celebrate the progress to date with a scavenger hunt, fun door prizes, and other activities throughout the day. Food and refreshments will be provided, and participants may bring their leashed dogs. For more information about this event, please visit www. waifanimals.org/new, or email newshelter@ waifanimals.org. [Submitted by Cinnamon O’Brien, WAIF]

Island Shakespeare Festival Presents “Much Ado About Nothing”

[Submitted by Susan Prescott]

This first season in its new digs is appropriate for director Rose Woods’ version of the play, which she has set with a Victorian era circus theme. “I have always loved the circus,” Woods said. “I have wanted to run away with the circus since my earliest memories - quite especially the European circuses that toured throughout Europe in the 19th century, when the world still believed in magic and the improbable. Without the ability to time travel, running away to that era of circus was impossible other than through the magic and illusion of theatre. And so, my concept for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ was born,” she added. As the title of the play suggests, there’s a lot of brouhaha over nothing in this story, but Shakespeare still has plenty of witty fun along the way. The basic plot concerns Claudio and Hero, who fall in love and plan to get married. But the villainous Don John slanders Hero with false evidence. The wedding is ruined and Hero faints. Her family eventually suspects slander and sets up their own con, pretending that Hero died from shock in order to reveal Don John’s evil plan. Claudio mourns Hero’s death, but of course, Hero is revealed to be alive and the marriage goes ahead as planned. In the play’s closing moments, it is reported that Don John has been captured for his crime. Meanwhile, during the course of all this, another love match is brewing between the feisty Beatrice and her mental boxing partner, Benedick, who are some of Shakespeare’s wittiest lovers and the couple who make the play so memorable. Shakespeare develops their relationship with exquisite timing, taking them from antagonism to sincere love and affection with excellent humor and a satisfying dose of compassion. Woods describes her take on the play in her program notes: “Much Ado About Nothing” is perhaps one of Shakespeare’s most splendid explorations of love. Through the trials and tribulations of a quartet of lovers and those around them, we see love in all its absurdity and glory, in all its tragedy and stupidity. The plot is nearly perfect combining high drama, great jokes and fabulous poetry in a dizzy sequence of scenes that leaves the audience torn between tears and laughter. Launching this fourth season in a circus tent is not a small thing, Woods said, and she is inspired even more by the efforts of the community. The tent was acquired through a recent Kickstarter campaign, boosted by the generous support of a major donor, and will give the theater company the autonomy that comes with having a stage of its own for performances and as a training facility, and also to rent to the public for weddings and other events. “I could not be more proud of this fearless and passionate company as we lift the flaps of our new home and invite you to step right up and enjoy “Much Ado About Nothing,” the director said.

WAIF Invites the Public to an Open House on the New Shelter Site On Saturday, August 3, at 12:00pm, Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation (WAIF) invites the public to celebrate the initial phase of construction with its recently completed Annex building located on the new shelter site. WAIF has accomplished a great deal, having raised enough money to thoughtfully prepare the site, complete building plans and have the momentum in place to set the target build date for the main shelter building for early fall 2014. With enough money raised to begin construction, WAIF is now unveiling its bid for public

Submitted by The Fishin’ Club, written by Bob Crouch, Jr.

It all started one hot summer night in 1968 in Southern Oregon. Mom and Dad had sent us to bed early because we were going fishing with Dad and Grandpa at Diamond Lake. I couldn’t sleep because I was too excited. The next morning I slept all the way to the lake. I don’t remember whether or not my dad, grandpa, brother, sisters or myself caught any fish, but it was a trip that stuck in my memory. Many trips have happened since. Camping at East Lake and Paulina Lake in Eastern Oregon and living in Roseburg and Myrtle Creek, and having the South Umpqua River in my back yard. So the Oregon saga ends and the Washington saga begins. We moved from Roseburg to Whidbey Island in 1973. We had Cultus Bay in our back yard at Sandy Hook and three lakes on the south end of the island. Deer Lake was the first lake I fished, with Lone and Goss Lake to follow. I finally got my first time out in a boat in saltwater and caught my first pink salmon (or humpy). It weighed seven and a half pounds. This was also the start of my beach fishing days. Pink Salmon season again on Whidbey Island, what can I say? It doesn’t get much better. Remember the kings and silvers, too. The first thing to do is get your gear together. There are several lures that get most of the attention. The Hot Pink Buzz Bomb is the old tried and true. They have 2”, 2-1/2”, and 3L which are used on the beach. Also, there are Pink Holographs and PInk Glows. Next is the Rotator. It comes in 2” and 2-1/2”. They are a lot like the Buzz Bomb but come with or without hooks and bumpers.

Remember, always pinch your barb on your single hook. Also, if you use these lures, remember to use the right combination of bumpers and beads to protect your knot. Rods and reels are the next part of the journey. The most used reel for beach fishing is the Spinning Reel. There are many brands of reels and most can be switched from left to right hand retrieve. Spinning rods also come anywhere from 6’6” to 8’6”, 8’ being the most common. Medium and medium heavy being most commonly used. Then you have your Levelwind Reels. These reels come right and left hand retrieve. They take more time to learn to use. It took me a couple of years of practice to learn, but now I don’t use anything else. The line used in beach fishing is critical. You have line made for spinning reels that is soft, limp line and stiffer line if for levelwinds. Most common line size is between 12 and 20 lbs. The next thing to talk about is respect for peoples’ property. Don’t trespass on private property. That’s the kind of thing that ruins fishing for everyone else. Pack out what you pack in. In other words, the garbage you bring take home with you. When you get a tangle or back lash in your line, don’t leave it on the beach, take it home. If you see garbage that has been discarded on the beach, pick it up. It only takes a couple of minutes and it will make things better for us and our kids for the future. There’s quite a bit more to it. Come on down and see me at Sebo’s Do It Center and I’ll help you all I can. It’s going to be a fun summer so let’s go fishing!

still talkinG By Eileen Brown

I imagine the Royals are staying close to home, probably ordering take-out and trying to relax before the new arrival – well, arrives. Whether named Alexandria or George, the Royal Baby (RB) will be the first greatgrandchild of Queen Elizabeth and one day will be Queen or King of England. Oh, it’s good to be a baby born with not a care in the world. The English have had two boys to watch grow up. It’s time for a girl. Pink Mylar balloons and pink bubble gum cigars with plenty of floral arrangements greet girl babies in our part of the world. Not so for RB. She must have a royal salute of 41 guns, although she will probably sleep through it. I suppose she will have a nanny, maybe several servants, and we can hope she is a pretty thing. Collectors will not want to turn their decorative bone China tea sets to the wall. Let’s hope the baby has Kate’s good looks and not grandfather Charles’ polo face. Come to think of it, Prince Charles also has rather prominent ears, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call him “horsey.” Girls raised in castles aren’t supposed to know how to make a pie crust or hem a dress. Pity. And she will be a stranger to the kitchen where her inexperience could lead to harm. Have the Royal Doctor standing by while RB opens a package of microwaved popcorn. “Ouch!” Footman, alert the infirmary. If they are wise, as they seem to be, parents Kate and William will instill in their child a respect for even the least of us and for whom no cure can come fast enough. Perhaps the now-famous photo of Lady Diana holding an HIV-infected African baby will help light the spark of hope for the wretched and forgotten. If only Mother Teresa were still living. She would take the future Queen from village to village, asking for blessings, soothing little ones to sleep. One by one, it would be the duty of the persistent paparazzi to take photos of the beautiful Monarch and then dispatch the film to their publisher. Buses would deliver the cameramen to waiting commercial aircraft and when they return to work in Paris or Amsterdam, they pick up their equipment and receive a numbered ticket that assigns them to their next job. Never again will hysterical photographers ambush or crowd the Royals. RB will live to a ripe old age and her six future children will support the works of the late Lady Diana Spencer by operating dozens of respectable homes for abandoned children, where education and family life are available to every boy and girl forced to sleep under a bridge. With thanks to my wonderful neighbor and research partner-friend Brenda Ackley, we learn that the RB may be closer to us real folk, the commoners, than we think. Consider Royal Baby’s lineage as described in Kate Middleton’s Family Tree from Middleton and Glassborrow, Goldsmith and Harrison. “They have quite an interesting past,” Brenda reported. “One was a jailed messenger back in 1898, one mother was born in France, and the cast of characters features many labourers, miners, plasterers, a baker, servants and carpenters as well as airline pilots and educators. “So this child may be more than just a prince or princess, and like William’s mum Diana, be closer to the common folk and not just the Royalty. After all, it’s in the blood.”

Prospective Daddy Prince William was born in the Lindo Wing of Saint Mary’s Hospital in West London June 21, 1982. That August, he was christened William Arthur Philip Louis, although he became known as “Wombat” to those close to him...also known formally as His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales. He had become, by the simple fact of his birth, second in line to the Throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In other words, a king-in-waiting! Back to Kate, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born January 9, 1982 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading. Shortly afterward, the dark-haired infant, dressed in a long white gown, was christened at the family’s local church in Bradfield, Saint Andrew’s. A sister born in September 1983, Philippa Charlotte Middleton, is known as Pippa. Theirs was a rural idyll of Middle England: a happy family life, fresh air, healthy country walks, playing dress-up games, musical statues. A favorite was dressing as a clown and dancing with girlfriends, while mum cooked something delicious in the kitchen. Of note, my own maternal grandmother was named Catherine Rice at birth, but like thousands of other young Englishwomen of their day, chose to be called Kate. I happened to find a woman in Leeds who had done research on the Rice family. Not being familiar with trends among young English women, I had completely ignored “Kate” when I skimmed over marriage licenses and so forth. It was the key to more discovery. Will and Kate met as friends, became lovers and are now the most celebrated royal couple on earth, invested with the magic of monarchy and surrounded by the goodwill of the people. Catherine once said that William was lucky to have her. Given her faultless display on the biggest day of her life, her wedding day, the same might be said of the monarchy. By now you are thinking this is all silliness – a fairy tale. Well, if one doesn’t sprinkle a little fairy dust every now and then, the seriousness of the world condition could break one’s spirit. I don’t ever want that for me, for you or for the world’s next RB.

Can we talk? Parents who have had “the talk” with their kids know you don’t want to scare them but tell it like it is. All well and good, but it’s time we had a talk about business in Old Downtown Oak Harbor. I am acting as a concerned, loving parent. I could be wrong, but summer is here, isn’t it? We can thank the Almighty for tourists but businesses cannot exist on tourists alone. “We need the locals to come and shop,” said Brenda Pike of Wild Magnolia, just one of the merchants with a classy shop women love and where men find sensational gifts without driving to Burlington. “There are lots of places to eat and shops to discover,” Pike continued. She’s right. I’m no psychic, but it’s possible some locals bypass Pioneer Way as a habit learned when streets were torn up and emotions ran high contemplating one-way travel. They, and you, should see what you are missing. A woman from Anacortes drives here to shop once a week, sometimes twice. She can’t get enough of Old Pioneer Way. Grab an ice cream at Popsie’s. Meander. Stick your head in the door and say, “Howdy!” Walk on the north side, then the south side. Merchants are waiting to welcome you downtown. Now listen to your mother.

chicken little and the astRoloGeR

What is it that makes the homeless person homeless? After a conversation I recently overheard between a bus driver and a poorly-clothed man of marginal grooming and great vocabulary who was living in his friend’s woodshed, I have concluded it is NOT lack of intelligence. I lacked the courage to walk over to this man and say, “What is your birthday and why are you homeless?” I just sat and listened as he expounded on politics and finance and failed political strategies with an eloquence I could never muster, while wondering, what put him out on the street, and could the same thing ever happen to me? What do you think? February 19, 19--, at 3:43 PM in (city and state)

By Wesley Hallock

Fond of the Roof Over My Head

Dear Astrologer

Dear Fond

My girl friends used to call me the old maid, because they all married in their twenties and I stayed single into my thirties. I watched them as several caught the “seven year itch” and eventually divorced. Now, I’m nearing the seven year mark following my own marriage, and very afraid of the same happening to me. So, what is the seven year itch, astrologically? Is there something to the idea of married people growing restless and beginning to stray after seven years? Or is that more poppsychology baloney?

There are some basic conditions that appear in the charts of people who are or have been homeless* at some time in their lives. Primary among those is a powerfully placed Ketu, as the agent by which people may find themselves stripped of everything in their life, home and the means to a home included. In looking at your chart, I see (long drumroll)…nothing to indicate homelessness in your future. Neither the powerful Ketu nor any of the many exacerbating planetary placements necessary to become homeless are in place for you.

June 2, 19--, at 12:59 PM in (city and state)

*Brace yourselves Sanskrit phobes! Any commentary on the homeless condition necessarily leads like bees to honey toward Rahu and Ketu. Simply picture reality as being like the Interstate Highway: everything on it gets there via the on-ramp, Rahu, and everything that exits goes via the off-ramp, Ketu. Piece of cake.

Not Itchy, Just Curious Dear Not Itchy The preeminent authority on the seven year itch continues to be, not Parashara, not Jaimini, but the Coasters. From their 1959 hit, Poison Ivy: “…you’re gonna need an ocean, Of calamine lotion, You’ll be scratchin’ like a hound, The minute you start to mess around…” The dreaded ‘minute’ the song refers to occurs most often in the seventh year of matrimony because of its relationship to the twenty-nine year Saturn cycle. Saturn is the agent by which any structure is deconstructed, marriages included. The quarter-point of that cycle—seven years—is an automatic crisis point at which weak marriages break. From an unpublished stanza of ‘Poison Ivy’: “…if you are not devout, If your love you do not tout, Old Man Sa-turn, he will take you out!” Golden oldies aside, Jaimini has a lot to say on which marriages survive the itch, and he likes your chances. Expect to be known by your girl friends as the old maid who made her marriage stick. * * * Dear Astrologer I’m a normal, healthy woman who is also very tactile. I don’t consider myself needy, but I do like to be cuddled, snuggled and smooched, every day. My husband is also very affectionate, so this should not be a problem. The trouble is that, lately, all my husband’s affections are being lavished, not on me, but on Candy, our toy poodle. He cradles the dog when he should be holding me, drives to the store with her riding in his lap and, in general, gives her the attentions I should be getting. When I make moves to get my share, my husband feels distant, like it’s an effort for him to be close to me. Am I making too much of this? Do you see serious problems for my marriage? January 18, 19--, at 4:18 PM in (city and state) Competing with a Dog Dear Competing So much can be foretold by one’s Moon sign alone. Your Moon is Jyestha, so no surprise that you feel in competition for your husband’s attentions. In the mythology, Jyestha was in competition for the love of the Moon deity, Chandra, and losing badly to the ever-charming Rohini. Thus, your marriage as you describe it exhibits the predictable patterns of the myth, with its classic themes of betrayal, jealousy and abandonment, but you need not be defeated by them. Nothing in your birth chart suggests that your marriage is ending. If your husband’s heart leads him to the dog more than to you, it’s because there is

* * * Confidential to Troubled Mother Your astrologer knew, upon reading your letter and even without calculating a chart, what the individual’s chart would show. The calculated chart confirmed it: the individual under discussion has serious issues involving his Moon, Rahu and Ketu. Moon is exactly at right angles to the Rahu/Ketu axis, meaning that, at any given time, this person is torn between coming into physical reality and moving away from it into the non-material Cosmic realms. Makes it kind of hard to plan the day. Rahu and Ketu are both crazy-makers, in that they produce obsessions, compulsions, discontents and wildly uncontrollable changes in the lives of people whom they strongly affect. Compounding this is the sign of the individuals Moon, Vishakha. There is a lightning and fire side of the Vishakha personality that can only flare brighter under the Rahu/Ketu influence. Add the fact of the individual’s Moon sharing its house with Uranus, the wild-card of planets, whose only predictable quality is that it is unpredictable, and you have a person whose map of reality is unique and unfathomable to the rest of us. There is no fix for this condition, astrologically, because nothing is broken. This is not a medical column, nor is this intended as medical advice, please understand. It is only an offered opinion. The tendency of some authorities to ascribe genetic causes or worse, to blame early environmental factors for the condition tend to raise guilt in the parents. I hope this is not the case for you. There is too much synchronicity in this individual’s chart, too many corroborating conditions that I haven’t the space to elaborate on here, to think that we are witness to anything less than a purposeful design of spirit at work. Watch and learn from the unfolding process and garner what you can from it. There is genius in the design, if we can only find it. Nine out of ten people can’t answer the question, “Are your sleepless nights sleepless because the sky is falling, or because Saturn is doing the Watusi with your Moon, again?” Don’t be one of them. Send your questions, along with your date, TIME and place of birth (as listed on your birth certificate) to Wesley at whallock@gmail.com. It’s fun and it’s free. You’ll also sleep better. * * * 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

After viewing the new Lone Ranger movie at our extremely comfortable Oak Harbor Cinemas, I drove home anxiously, anticipating the joy of playing my vinyl recording of Rossini’s Guillaume Tell Overture. It had been since 1965‘s Music Appreciation 101 class, during my first and final year at Ohio Wesleyan University, that I had last listened to the entire eleven minutes, seven seconds of the William Tell Overture. After listening to the first thirty seconds of the overture, my thoughts turned to deep, dark places, as if I were experiencing the side effects of Chantix on a bad day. So, I took off William Tell and put on Willie Nelson singing The Red Headed Stranger. From Billy to Willie. Not a bad segue. Speaking of another Billy, Reverend Billy Graham, I found this quote on page 187 of his 1991 book, Hope for the Troubled Heart. “A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable.” How uncanny. How unpredictable. How now, brown cow. Armie Hammer must have a keen sense of humor. Not only does he play the new Lone Ranger, next to Johnny Depp’s old Tonto, Armie starred as the young Billy Graham, in the 2010 movie, Billy, The Early Years of Billy Graham. What a resume for Armie. Hi Yo, Silver Chalice, away! Musings of the Unknown Amuser The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved. When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra. Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. This is so true. Don’t you love to hear folks say, “You sure don’t look that old.”

LocaLLy opEratEd. Would an Idaho spud be stamped ‘Made In Japan’ Can we sink a bit of some foreign aid to the farmer over here Or the ‘Amber Waves Of Grain’ may disappear While listening to the above Merle Haggard/Freddie Powers tune, I found myself standing taller and feeling stronger. Nothing like a great song to wake us up, now and then.

The book is a collection of stories about famous writers and behind-the-scenes trivia. Given the news of late regarding all things politically and racially incorrect, I was pleased to see a chapter in the book entitled Parental Guidance Suggested, and the information shared on page 98: “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn…American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” Ernest Hemingway Joyce and Janssen continue, pointing out that Huckleberry Finn still holds “the record for longest running on the banned/challenged books list”, largely because of the ‘N’ word being used 212 times. Connecticut schools used that quantity argument specifically in 2007 litigation. As the dual authors point out, “Let’s just hope that they (Connecticut school administrators) didn’t make a student do the counting.” Metaphysical Musings The more I explore the seemingly infinite information available on the Internet, the more I am thankful that I did not have this tool of immediate access while trading baseball cards with Glenn Ferraro on the sidewalks of Upper Arlington, Ohio in the 50s’. What if I had been able to run back in the house, go on-line, and see that my Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig cards were worth way more than the Jackie Robinson card I would be receiving in return? All that time, I thought Glenn was the fool. I should have known better. He was a jock, and a very smart one.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative (and creation). There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

We would laugh, and then go back outside to play.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,1749-1812 We are not certain how Gerry acquired this information, as he is of tender years. Quite possibly the Goethe quote was obtained by the Simpson family sometime after the death of Goethe, but before the 1812 Overture was recorded and available on vinyl. Merle in 1985 If the ‘Amber Waves Of Grain’ should disappear And there were no wheat or barley anywhere Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man Would an Idaho spud be stamped ‘Made In Japan’ The farm just won’t get tended, if the farmer isn’t here And the ‘Amber Waves Of Grain’ may disappear There’s a railroad train that’s on it’s way to no where Never to return again this way Will the future farmer board this train to no where Is there nothin’ we can do to help him stay Can we get rid of that foreign aid to the farmer over here Or the ‘Amber Waves Of Grain’ may disappear If the ‘Amber Waves Of Grain’ should disappear And there were no wheat or barley anywhere Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man

And thanks to the ease of the Sno-Isle Library computer system, I requested the book last Friday, and received it at the Freeland branch the following day.

Oh well.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.

Check out our newly redesigned website! www.whidbeyweekly.com

Learning at the Library Thanks to Greenbank Wayne Flaaten for suggesting the 2012 Reader’s Digest I Used to Know That Literature by C. Alan Joyce and Sarah Janssen. Column fodder of the finest kind, he assured me.

Got Goethe? Thanks to Whidbey Weekly reader Gerry Simpson of Greenbank for his entry into this week’s readers’ recommended reading:

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

Like Grandma used to say, whenever we kids would pause with the word well, “that sure is a very deep subject”. Well, I certainly found an interesting one-hundred, ninety-seven pages of reading on-line, over the weekend, at a website entitled www.scienceofmindarchives.org. In fact, there was so much to read, I just bought the captivating text for ten bucks. Now I can take my time with gems like this from Ernest Holmes, speaking to a roomful of students Tuesday night, February 28, 1933. “The universe must be a thing of JOY, but we will have to stop talking about other people unless we can say something good about them, if we want to be scientific thinkers. We shall have to stop criticizing other people and finding fault with them. Puzzle 1 (Very hard, difficulty rating 0.75)

With a good natured flexibility we shall be able to say, ‘If you think that, it is all right, but it isn’t my idea, I don’t feel I have to do everything everybody tells me to do.’

There must be a flexibility in the contact of life, which bends a little before it but refuses to break or snap. It is rooted in the other thing. If a person comes to me and lies, I know he is lying, but I can say to myself: ‘Now he is lying, but that is all right. Let him lie.’ But I think there again we have to have that flexibility that we can contact the thing without being confused by it. It is an attempt to think straight and we must persist in the attempt.” Bunny Droppings The Bunny Budget Committee recently met to determine that rabbit pellets would now be supplementing the bunnies formerly exclusive carrots and whatever else is in the yard diet. Because of the announcement, sighs of despair were heard throughout the produce sections of The Star Store, Food Mart, Red Apple, The Goose, and PayLess, while cheers were beyond audible in the critter section at The Country Store.

CAMERONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CAFĂ&#x2030;Â A PLACE OF FINE CASUAL DINING By Helen Bates Our island has its share of eating places.Â Now it has an elegant restaurant replete with linen-coveredÂ tables tastefully set amidst antique dĂŠcor. Opening last September, Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ has already made itsÂ mark in Oak Harbor. Located in the Harbor Side Shops Arcade on Pioneer Way, the gourmet restaurant advertises as casual dining,Â but it feels more like a fine dining establishment. With walls opened onto the arcade and sporting a FrenchÂ Provincial ambiance, a diner just might feel she is sitting in a European courtyard. But however youÂ describe it, a person feels special just walking into the place.Â Owners, Cameron Morris and his partner, David Burdette, are not novices to the restaurant business. They formerly owned two eating establishments in Anacortes. Both have extensive backgrounds andÂ training in the hospitality business. We islanders are the beneficiaries of their wide experience, asÂ Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ is a culmination of their combined efforts. While most restaurateurs concentrate on their menu, Cameron and David know that the publicÂ looks not only at the menu, but also at the ambiance of a place, as well as the service. It seems that theÂ owners know they can serve wonderful food, so time has been spent setting the right atmosphere, as well asÂ providing excellent service to their diners. Today the restaurant sports its summer finery. Yellow linen table cloths set a cheery palette, while pots ofÂ greenery add a fresh touch. White napkins and chinaware make for a welcoming summer setting. EarlierÂ this year, the place was decorated in the more formal black and white with a display of outsized blue andÂ white china. The walls are painted a pleasing green, while black metal chairs add just enough of a contrastÂ to tie it all together.

Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe CASUAL DINING

5.00 Discount on Wine Purchase

Every Tuesday and Wednesday Purchase two entrees at regular menu price and Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will give you a $5.00 discount on your wine purchase. Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offers Full Service Catering. Call or come in. We would like to meet you and have our staff serve you.

Like us on:

At its inception, the cafĂŠ did not offer an extensive menu. Items offered were popular gourmet versionsÂ of down-home favorites. Meatloaf topped with onion straws and crab filled mac and cheese wereÂ immediate favorites. Crepes were another immediate hit with the public. These are still featured on theÂ menu, along with a much wider variety of starters, flat breads, homemade soups, salads, burgers,Â sandwiches, entrees, sides and desserts. When people ask me what my favorite foods are at Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, it is difficult to respond. It always seemsÂ to be what I had the last time we ate there. My first favorites were the savory mushroom soup paired withÂ an Apple, Walnut and Gorgonzola Salad. This was followed by a shared White Chocolate Bread Pudding. While I still crave those foods, every time we go there, I try to have something different. Once while eatingÂ lunch with a friend, we both had spicy crepes filled with seafood cooked in a spicy Creole sauce. ThisÂ was paired with asparagus spears and a mixed fruit salad. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure a new favorite is a CafĂŠ Steak SaladÂ I had last week. This consisted of Korean BBQ Flank Steak, Avocado, Mango, Tomato, and Field GreensÂ dressed with a GingerLime-Peanut Dressing. I started off that meal with a bowl of chilled Gazpacho.Â These are just a few lunches I have had there with a friend or my husband. Did I mention the cafĂŠ was not large? It only holds around eighty diners, but by planning ahead, it isÂ able to accommodate groups. Once I went to a luncheon at Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a group of twenty-four women.Â We had a pre-set menu of a large plate mixed green salad, chicken crepes, rolls and butter, and a dessertÂ of the bread pudding mentioned above, along with a beverage. The service and seating were excellent andÂ the women left happy.

Large dinners can be a little more difficult to arrange. After a group reaches a certain number, aroundÂ sixteen or so, a party of dinners may be limited to a smaller number of entrĂŠe choices than those reflectedÂ on the menu. Due to the smaller kitchen, this is necessary in order to guarantee a successful diningÂ experience; however, some diners are not always able to get the entrĂŠe of their choice. As much as possible,Â Cameron will try to accommodate his dinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wishes. Be sure to discuss the choices before making a largeÂ group reservation. Earlier in this review, I mentioned the importance of service. This is the third leg of the triad and inÂ Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, it is not forgotten. No matter when we have eaten there, the service has been excellent.Â The wait staff are immaculate in their black shirt and pants and they always make a diner feel that theyÂ are there just for them. But this review would be remiss not to offer special kudos to one person who has been there sinceÂ Day One. That is Kayleigh Smith, who serves as the unofficial hostess, bus person, and wait person. IfÂ sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not smiling and greeting a diner, she can be seen pouring water or coffee, cleaning a table or taking anÂ order. She is unfailingly courteous and sometimes helps me select my meal. She adds much to theÂ ambiance of Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ. On very special occasions, such as Easter or Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offers elaborate brunch buffetsÂ that take over the outside of the cafĂŠ. On those occasions, there will be a large center table going down the length of the arcade. This will be covered with all sorts of gourmet entrees and side dishes. There isÂ usually a carving station arranged against one wall, while a dessert table is set up on the stair landing.Â Usually there will be a performer entertaining the diners, while the wait staff keeps busy pouring coffee,Â water and breakfast drinks. These brunch buffets do not happen often, but watch out for the next one andÂ you will be glad you did. During the summer, the cafĂŠ does not offer a Sunday breakfast or brunch, as it did earlier this year.Â Cameron says they will probably begin again this Fall, so keep an eye out for the opening date. Have I convinced you that Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is pretty special?Â It is! But all this â&#x20AC;&#x153;specialnessâ&#x20AC;? comes with aÂ price. Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is not inexpensive. If you want a quick nosh, you can go to a fast food eatery. Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ is more suited for a leisurely enjoyed meal, whether it be lunch or dinner or a Sunday brunch, when they areÂ available. Everything is ordered ala carte and a lunch for two could easily run to fifty dollars, including taxÂ and gratuity. A dinner would be more. But, after eating there, you will probably agree that Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s isÂ well worth the price.Â Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also offers full service catering Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ is located at 830 SE Pioneer Way, Suite 106 in Oak Harbor and is openÂ Monday thruÂ Saturday from 11:30am to 9:00pm.Â Reservations are suggested. For currentÂ information or to make a reservation, call (360)240-1222.Â Our Rating: *****Â Â $$$
