Letters to the Editor Editor, Last Saturday, I was able to attend the 5:00pm mass at our parish in St. Augustine Church Catholic Church in Oak Harbor, where 21 young students from the University of Texas in Austin, Texas arrived in their 50th day of pedaling from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. They passed by our island because one of the students, Ver Andrew Madeja Starr, the son of the late SCPO Elza Elwood Starr, USN and Vicki Madeja Starr, both of Oak Harbor, is one of them and he decided to map the route to go home to Oak Harbor. Ver Andrew Madeja Starr and his teammates rode 40 miles up Whidbey Island from Clinton. This 40 miles is part of the 4,500 miles they ride up to Anchorage, Alaska. Upon arrival, the first group of four, including Starr, got to St. Augustine’s Catholic Church Parish at 5:30pm and attended the latter part of the mass. Then a dinner and presentation followed. All 21 riders of the Texas 4000 Sierra route, were fed more than well with the delicious donations of Filipino foods hosted by Vicki Madeja Starr, Peggy Smith and Debbie Gallo. The program team presented a program about Texas 4000, Cancer Awareness, as well as Cancer Prevention tips. Cancer is a disease that affects many people both directly and indirectly. The interesting part of this fact is not everyone knows about it. Texas 4000 is a Cancer fighting organization riding across the continent from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska to spread awareness in the communities like Oak Harbor they visit. Texas 4000 is dedicated to spreading Hope, Knowledge, and Charity with 17 days left in the 70-day trip, the team has come along way with a lot to go. All three routes, Sierra, Rockies and Ozarks will meet in Canada and cycle the last 10 days together. May they have a safe and blessed trip. Luz M. Stanalonis, Oak Harbor
Editor, Greenbank Farm is a community-founded nonprofit organization, in partnership with the Port of Coupeville. Yesterday I attended the Loganberry Festival, the Greenbank Farm’s yearly funfest. Just from wandering around, taking in the sights, I could see first hand how a wide diversity of folks truly enjoy this community event and location. Medieval royalty on horses, Zumba dancers, hot dogs from the Lions, pulled pork sandwiches from the Whidbey Pies Cafe -it was all good. And especially noteworthy -- so much community information was available from farmers, from winemakers, from artists, from falconers, from 4-H, from WSU, from Master Gardeners, from firefighters. Many of our Central Whidbey movers and shakers and community professionals volunteered their time and resources to connect with you -- the engaged public, the residents and visitors who make up our special place -- Whidbey Island. The Greenbank Farm is evolving into the community gathering place that local residents envisioned that it could be back in the early 1990s. As we move forward with intensified farming, solar power, event hosting and a growing variety of community interests and projects, I hope that you will check out their excellent website, http://greenbankfarm.biz/, walk your dog on the grounds, talk to the farm-

Runway Closures at NAS Whidbey Island From August 5 through September 20, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island will have one operational runway for all flight operations. During this period, runway 14/32 at Ault Field will close for the installation of a new arresting gear system, restricting aircraft to Northeast or Southwest take off and landing headings. These approaches and departures will poten-
tially cause aircraft using Ault Field to operate more frequently than normal over western Skagit County/Mount Vernon/La Conner area, northern Island County and Lopez Island. Additionally, last month the Navy decided to temporarily suspend Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) operations at OLF Coupeville until the end of the calendar year. FCLPs will still be conducted at Ault Field which could impact other aircraft landing and takeoff evolutions. Scheduled maintenance dates may shift due to early completion or work stoppage due to weather. As a reminder, NAS Whidbey Island established a new comment line and email address where community members can express their thoughts, concerns, and issues. The new phone number for this service, including noise complaints or concerns, is (360)257-6665. Alternatively you may email your comments to comments.NASWI@navy.mil.

Island Beach Access is Throwing a Beach Party On Sunday, August 11, at 12:00pm, come and celebrate the extremely generous donation of beach property by the Frank Robinson family, which will become Island County’s newest beach park. Bring your own food or a dish to pass, and eating utensils. Everybody welcome. Any musicians who would like to play in this great location are welcome to attend. Go to the Freeland traffic light, turn south onto Fish Road, at the end turn left onto Mutiny Bay Road. Then turn right onto Robinson Road, at the end of which is the Mutiny Bay boat launch ramp. The new park is on the left, south of the ramp. Island Beach Access (IBA), formerly known as Island Citizens for Public Beach Access (ICFPBA), is also celebrating its four years of existence and the progress that has been made so far.
IBA is an expanding network of people who are dedicated to identifying, mapping, signing and preserving access to the public shorelines of Island County, for the legal and rightful use of its citizens, so that future generations can enjoy the unique beauty and the natural privileges of access. The shorelines of our county’s islands, like most of Washington State, are a complex of jurisdictional layers and conflicts, which have created a tangled web of laws. Too often, neither the public, nor even the landowners, understand the precise legal standing of a particular stretch of coast, or a particular road or access area. Determined to improve transparency around these places, IBA has set out to comprehensively research and document our aggregate county beaches, shorelines and access points. For more information, visit www.islandcountypublicbeaches.org or come to the party and talk with IBA members. [Submitted by Chris Williams]
Update for North Cascades National Park Fires North Cascades National Park Complex had two fires reported from thunderstorms on Tuesday, July 17, 2013. Personnel have been managing these fires since the last update. The Sourdough Chute fire, estimated at 0.5 acres, is located on the south side of Sourdough Mountain, below the lookout. A helicopter dropped water on the fire to suppress it on Tuesday, July 23 and Thursday, July 25, 2013. The Arctic Dan fire, from the same thunderstorm, has become more active due to lower humidity and higher temperatures. It is located on the south side of the Arctic Creek Drainage, west of Ross Lake. Smoke is visible from Hozomeen, Ross Lake, and Highway 20. Aerial reconnaissance on Thursday, July 25, 2013 indicated that the fire has grown to approximately 15-30 acres in size. These wilderness fires will continue to be managed by National Park Service staff. North Cascades National Park has no closures in effect at this time, although smoke will be noticeable from these fires. As temperatures continue to warm up and humidity drops, please be aware of local burning bans and campfire restrictions. For more information, please contact Joe Anderson, Fire Information Officer, (360)8547356 or email Jamie_Hart@nps.gov. [Submitted by Ken Hires, North Cascades National Park Complex]

Forest City Gives Olympic View Elementary a Make-Over
Nearly 60 employees of the property management company Forest City turned Olympic View Elementary into a landscaping, grounds-cleaning festival of bright yellows, blues, and greens recently during its annual one-day school makeover. Forest City employees from the Everett, Bangor, and Oak Harbor areas converged on the school to give the grounds a fresh clean look, including a facelift of the ball fields, parking lot, and playgrounds. Forest City is a management company that contracts for residential services, construction, and maintenance of Navy housing. Every year, Forest City conducts a one day makeover of a school in their region, rotating between the three communities they serve. Three years ago, they made a big difference at Crescent Harbor Elementary. This year they are putting the shine on Olympic View, which has about 80 percent of its students from military families, many of whom live in Forest City housing. This is an event they all look forward to every year, said Scott Corley, maintenance supervisor for Forest City. The crew includes everyone from carpenters to secretaries, he said. They had a dozen jobs going on at once all around the school. One crew built a new recy-
LocALLy opErAtEd. cling bin. Another roto-tilled a softball and kickball field, creating new base paths that were previously overgrown with grass. One man fixed the fencing that served as the backstop.
The free exhibition will run August 31 through September 2, from 12:00pm to 5:00pm daily, and will kick-off with a reception on Friday, August 30, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
Painting was going on everywhere, with crews putting a new shine on the railings, benches, curbs, and handicap parking spaces. In the back of the school, a huge faded map of the United States, painted onto the asphalt, got a new coat with each state painted in bright blues, yellows, and greens. Sherwin Williams donated the paint for the entire Olympic View project.
The Guild seeks to support professional woodworkers as well as inspire and educate the budding amateur and provide awareness to the general public of the skills available locally from its talented members. In 2001 the Whidbey Island Woodworkers Guild was formed to bring together the woodworking community of Whidbey. Now in its twelfth year, the Guild includes makers of furniture, cabinetry, architectural woodwork, turners, clock makers, sawyers, carvers, restorers, musical instrument makers, boat builders and refinishers. For more information, visit www.woodpalooza.com.
Another large crew was busy weeding and sprucing up all the landscaped areas. A fresh layer of bark over the landscaping was donated by Brickman, a landscaping company that works with Forest City on many projects. Oak Harbor School District Superintendent Lance Gibbon stopped by the school to thank the crew for their hard work. “A makeover like this goes a long way toward making students proud of their school and feel comfortable going to school,” Gibbon said. “It’s another part of the big picture leading to student success.” [Submitted by Joe Hunt, OHSD]

sTill TalkinG By Eileen Brown
You may have heard the expression “watch out for the quiet ones.” They are those who take care of business without calling attention to themselves but later surprise everyone with their accomplishments. Sean Magorrian is one such man. I had to practically beg him to tell his story here. He’s more shy than boastful, a nice quality in a man. Who is he? For starters, he was an Oak Harbor police officer for 30 years, retiring in November 2010. Ace Hardware took a chance and hired Sean part-time. Good move both times. “Store Manager, Cheryl Wieldraayer, and others on staff taught me the hardware business,” he said, adding he loves seeing friends from his school days or social contacts. From 2006 to 2008, he worked for Kenmore Air Express at the Oak Harbor Station. “My wonderful wife Anita knew I had always dreamed of obtaining my Private Pilot rating, so I put my wages toward flight lessons,” he said. “In July 2008, I earned my Private Pilot rating. Since that time, I have made a number of flights at the controls of a Cessna 172.” His interest in aviation led him to join the PBY Memorial Foundation (PBYMF), a group dedicated to preserving naval and military aviation history. The group purchased a PBY-5A Catalina, or “Cat.” It was aweinspiring to see the PBY being moved from Bayview Airport in Skagit County to its current location, next to the historic center, while slung beneath a Chinook helicopter. “I was Gift Shop Manager for awhile,” he said. “Our modest gift shop stocked books, models, T-shirts, ball caps and other items for sale. All profit gained from the merchandise sales are returned to the PBYMF to keep the lights on and for on-going aircraft restoration. “I’d invite anyone interested in aviation and military history, particularly the history of our Seaplane Base and of Ault Field, to visit the Naval History Center in Building 12. They need financial and volunteer help to keep the organization growing.” He joined the Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona (CAF), with its mission to protect rare flying monuments for future generations, through preservation, education, exhibition and air shows. Airbase Arizona has seven aircraft available for public flights, including a B-17G Flying Fortress, B-25J Mitchell, SNJ, L-16, C-45, C-47 aka DC-3, and Stearman. “After completing Ground School Training, I volunteered to go on tour with the B-17. I had the luck to visit San Antonio, San Angelo and Midland, Texas,” he recalled. “During our visit to San Antonio, our crew was invited to visit with members of the 8th Army Air Force there for a reunion. It was a humbling experience to hear stories told by men who flew missions in B-17 Flying Fortresses over Europe.” Late this June into early July, he once again went on tour with the B-17, traveling with his crew to Muskegon, MI , St. Thomas and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This trip gave them an opportunity to fly their first Canadian passenger flights. He was thrilled to actually fly the B-17 over Lake Erie. “Our crew was made welcome in both Canadian cities,” he recalled. “Our visitors and passengers gave only positive reviews on the aircraft and respect for the men who flew missions in the B-17 during World War II.”
Magorrian admits the B-17 Flying Fortress has always been his favorite aircraft, very well built for WWII missions. Many B-17s were lost in battle, and over 70,000 air crew perished. Nevertheless, the B-17 had a tremendous impact on the outcome of the war. Mission after successful mission ultimately led to an Allied victory. Many B-17’s sustained damage, some to the point where some doubted they’d return to their base after a mission, but they did. Thanks to the design of the B-17, its well-trained flight and maintenance crews, many men completed their missions and returned home to family and friends. The CAF conducts yearly tours throughout the USA and Canada. The B-17G named “Sentimental Journey” and B-25 named “Maid in the Shade” are literally flying museums. Each year, the B-17 and B-25 visit communities to give future generations a closer look at a piece of history. Magorrian cannot say enough about the caliber of people he works with at Ace. He knows you will recognize their names and come to rely on them for great service and products. With a grateful heart, he wishes to thank Ed and Marv in the nuts and bolts aisle; Pat, The Secret Garden; Brian and Gary, electrical and tools; Bill and Chris, paint; Marilee and Colleen, plumbing; Bill and Ian, Stihl; John, Mike or Kevin, sporting goods; Kim, marine and automotive; Jeanette and Irina, office and paperwork; Mark, James and John, screens, keys, carry-out and more; and, of course, Tammy, Sahra, Elyssa and Ashley, all at the front registers. “Finally, thank you to Anita who has supported my interests in aviation, especially when we visit airfields and museums. She does her part to support the local economy and hopefully she will retire soon so we can continue our odyssey across this great land.” Birthdays A boy who has a “cool” birthday party is seldom alone. It starts when they are toddlers. A breeze, but messy. Just spread a tarp under the table and invite a couple of little terrors. My son put in a special request one year. He wanted a birthday party at a local burger joint. The Guest of Honor got a cardboard mask of a king wearing a crown. Don’t know about the other boys, but mine wore his around the house on those occasions I needed to be reminded of his imperial greatness. The centerpiece for many birthdays was an unappetizing sheet cake with entirely too much camouflage green icing. Rambo would love it. Pipe on some frosting Jeeps and army men and ring the party bell. I cannot recall with clarity what his birthdays were like from age 13 through 17. Maybe I need to seek professional help to reclaim those missing years, but maybe it’s best that I never know. My son’s official birthday was 7-27-72 at Oaknoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, Calif. The hour was 27 minutes after 7. He was loud and I cried and the delivery room nurse got so busy she missed recording his exact birth hour: 7:27PM. Thank you, son, for the best birthday of my life. Bridge anyone? Quiet, please. Bridge being played. It happens each Wednesday at the Oak Harbor Senior Center where three to five tables, each seating four players, pick up the action. Party bridge starts at 12:30 and concludes at 3:30. It costs .50 cents. Group spokeswoman Edna Schultz recommends signing up Monday for Wednesday’s game. Oh, yes. A different snack is provided by one member each week. (I am too well-mannered to help myself, but that pizza smelled great!) Write to me at stilltalking2009@yahoo.com

LocALLy opErAtEd. may make more sense to you, in light of your own circumstance. * * * Dear Astrologer I am giving you my husband Harvey’s birth data. A year ago, Harvey dropped a loaded tool box on his foot and fractured his big toe, and we’ve been regulars at the ER ever since.
chicken liTTle and The asTrOlOGer By Wesley Hallock Dear Astrologer I just saw on a website that the full moon in Aquarius is called the Thunder Moon. It’s said to be the most emotionally charged full Moon of the year. Any truth to that? I was born under an Aquarian Moon, and I’m actually a rather placid woman. I relate to the humanitarian qualities that other astrologers have ascribed to my Moon, but the thunder part confuses me. I just don’t seem to have it. Comments? September 14, 19--, at 4:20 PM in (city and state) Looking for My Thunder Dear Looking A bodybuilder friend of mine had to look no farther than the mirror. We nicknamed him, “Thunder Thighs.” I’ve never heard the term ‘Thunder Moon,’ but I can follow the logic. The Moon signifies emotions. Aquarius charges those emotions with a variety of bubbling psychological complexes, all waiting to pop. The mix comes to its peak of power in the time of the Moon’s fullness opposite the Leo, King of Beasts, Sun, and—boom! Emotional thunder. I can follow the logic, but do I like it? No. It’s too simplistic, and you are a case in point. What is thunder, but a lot of noise? You have something more valuable: in the much richer zodiac used in ancient times, your Aquarius Moon falls in the sign of Shravana. This gives you the power to balance any out-of-balance situation, restoring its lost order. You do this using your ability to connect things in ways that reveal their commonality, rather than their differences, allowing them to work together. It’s fair to call this talent of yours, “silent thunder.” So stop looking, and be glad. * * * Dear Astrologer
A few highlights: The toe had barely healed before Harvey fractured his left leg in a motorcycle accident. He was laid up for weeks with a cast (and guess who ran herself ragged waiting on him?). The day after the doctor removed the cast, Harvey lopped off his little finger with a band saw. We spent our twenty-fifth anniversary in surgery, getting it reattached. In the past year, Harvey has had forty-six stitches, three fractures and been severely burned twice. Last week, he cracked three ribs in a fall. Tell me, please, where does Harvey’s run of bad luck end? April 11, 19--, at 4:23 AM in (city and state) His Long-suffering Wife Dear Long-suffering The term “train wreck in slow motion” perfectly describes Harvey’s accident-prone state. Mars is the key planet in the wreck, because Mars is the ruling planet in charge of Harvey’s Aries rising sign. Whatever befalls Mars, in terms of its condition and placement in the zodiac, will similarly befall Harvey. A year ago, Harvey had his first accident as his Mars progressed to the eighth house cusp. Think of the eighth cusp as a major pothole in the road of life. As such, it is a prime point of manifestation for accidents and breakdowns of innumerable sorts. Since Mars describes his body, as I said, the accidents are impacting him physically. The worst of the accidents should already be behind you, but Harvey should be very cautious for another year.

I’m in such a FUNK! I don’t know what’s wrong with me! I snap, I snarl, I’m meaner than a rabid dog, and I don’t know how people can stand me. I need a vacation from myself, but there’s no getting away. Everywhere I go, there I am. I sob. I cry. I hate my job, I hate my car, I hate my hovel (I can’t call this box a house) and I hate astrologers who smile primly and say, “You’re learning Saturn lessons, dear….” So, I hope you can do better than that. I used to be a nice person. Is that person ever coming back? September 10, 19--, at 7:41 PM in (city and state) Crotchety Dear Crotchety
I recently had a tarot reading, in which my cards indicated a move. This took me by surprise. I’m perfectly happy where I’m at, but the cards say that is going to change. The timing was unclear, and I’m wondering if you can see in my astrology the move that showed up in the cards, and if so, can you give me a better sense of when it will happen? I would like to be closer to my grandchildren, but that is the only thing I can think of that might make me want to move. March 3, 19--, at 1:33 PM in (city and state) Watching and Waiting Dear Watching You sound anxious. Please don’t be. I do see indicators that point to a move, but in your chart they do NOT have the capacity to do you harm. I repeat, you have nothing to fear. The planets are divided into categories, gentle and cruel, and deliver their results accordingly. The cruel planets, Saturn and Mars, are not a part of your impending move. This means something is coming that you will value more than your current home life. You will move naturally and happily to the new situation, on or around November 1. Moving always involves expense. In your case, the move results in a net gain, not a loss. If you now have the necessary money, you will somehow recover the expense of the move. If you don’t have the money, then the means for the move will appear as part of the move. That is what I see, without knowing your means. It
Sorry. No. The nice person you were is never coming back. A new and even nicer person is being birthed in place of the old one. Your self-description of the present you is a perfect description of your labor pains. Your mid-wife in this birth is not Saturn. The delivery of the new you is being presided over by Pluto. Pluto is an evolutionary force, and it’s working hard on the very deepest levels of you, through your Moon. The nice person you remember as your old self was less genuine than the person you will be by 2016. You will be less of a people pleaser, and more in tune with your own wants and needs. Caution: Do not think I’m describing the new you as selfish. Only after building a personal foundation by attending to your own selffulfillment can you relate effectively to other people. The things you don’t like about your life are but reflections of the facades you’ve lived behind. As they begin to crumble, embrace the process and let it all go. * * * 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.

On Track with Jim Freeman
When Mom encouraged us to take Latin to satisfy our high school language requirement, we three kids of Ozark origin were perplexed.
yelling “Veni, Vidi, Vici?”
How would we survive on the playground pretending to be The Cisco Kid while
Last week I learned a bit more Latin. Did you know the word education is derived from the Latin verb, educare, meaning “to draw out from within”? Neither did I, but with the help of long time hometown hero, Don Zontine, founder and co-creator of The Flying Zontines, I learned what “drawing it out from within” really means. What an education it has been. Follow with me now as we journey to 1979 when a little red caboose was placed on a hillside in Freeland. Enter the water heater. Now, fast forward to 2013, a mere thirty-four years later, when Mr. Zontine has stopped by to help me change the heating elements in the old water heater. It had been some eight or nine years since the water was really hot. It was my way of being green. Luke warm showers and not doing any dishes but coffee cups just meant less water for me and more for the next generation. When Don took off the protective panels of the water heater, he looked up at me, “Your water temperature is pretty low. You sure you need a new element?” “Oh sure, a friend of mine told me I did about seven or eight years ago.” “Well, we may as well replace both of them.” After several attempts to “lefty loosey” the extremely rusted “righty tighty” of the element, Don looked up at me saying, “We better go to NAPA and get a tool for this. Maybe something that will loosen that old timer.” Jump cut about fifteen minutes, after Don has successfully removed the lower heating element, with the type of brute force one sees in the Chuck Norris movies. “Jim, this top element needs some time. Let’s go to Ace and get the new ones while that Deep Creep does its magic loosening.” While at Ace, we saw several neighbors, complete with their gardening smiles, enjoying the sunshine, inside and out. As two tan, non-local looking young men approached us, I was surprised to see Don’s wife, Anne Zontine, by their side.
Locally operated. At least Don let me hold the flashlight, until the second time that I walked away with it. Several dialogue exchanges later, Don looked around the bathroom and walls of the caboose. “Looks like you have a bathtub falling thru the floor and roof leaks all down the side where you work and sleep.” “Yea, it’s been that way for about 30 years. I work around it. That’s why I have so many yogurt cups. Great for window sills. Trouble is, on a real, rainy stretch, I have to stay here all day and night to empty them” “Jim, I’ll get back here next week. We can look at some of this other stuff then.” Later that night, I remembered. It had been since 2004 that the hot water in the caboose shower and kitchen sink had last seemed hot. I had just returned from several weeks of being away for the winter. As the saying says, “Good things come to those who wait.” Now, in 2013, I finally have hot water, after forgetting that in 2004 I had called my neighbor to ask him to turn down the temperature on the water heater since I would be gone so long. Were Dad alive he would suggest that I am still “a few fries short of a happy meal.” Well, at least the fries are hot now.
Stories around the Table Sitting around a dining room table, dishes cleared, talking with friends who have already raised their kids, brings out those stories that are not so laughable when experienced, but certainly humorous upon reflection. The winner of last week’s best story at the table was from a mom who had just finished taking care of her older boy’s horse. Mom shared several classics from her time spent working in the local middle school cafeteria for twelve years, several of those while her two boys were attending. If you know of someone who has raised two boys or more, you know the possible scenarios a parent faces. From broken limbs to broken spirits, from ripped jeans to ripped hearts, from getting picked on to getting picked up. Our story Mom, one of the dedicated who faces the daily combat of the a la cart line at her middle school cafeteria in Oregon, tired of watching the local 8th grade thugs pick on her 6th grade son every day after school.
Looking up at these two tall leaning towers of testosterone, I extended my hand nervously to each. Was this my only shot at foreign diplomacy?
“Well, do you know that is my son you are picking on?”
“Guillermo and Marco? Hi, I’m Jim. So nice to meet you.”
Mom leaned over, car engine still running, to whisper in the boy’s ear:
“No, Alessandro, and yes, Marco.”
“From now on, if you stop picking on my kid, I’ll give you extra French fries every time you come thru the lunch hall line.”
Now, even more nervous, I grabbed my cell phone to call my girlfriend to get some info about her father’s homeland. “Pal, is Dad Sicilian or Calabresian?” “Neither, Dad is Calabrese.” Comforted by having this information, I tried to explain to our across-the-water guests that despite my unnecessary banter, because of my girlfriend’s heritage, I felt secondary Italian. They seemed as unimpressed as their hosts. Nice try, Jim. Back to the water heating elements. Purchases made, we returned to the caboose for the next episode of Jim and Don’s Water Heater Talk. “Write this down, Jim, for the electrical. Bottom element, black on top, red on bottom. Top element is blue on top, yellow on bottom.” “Okay, Don, red on bottom of the top one, and blue on the top of the top one. Both bottoms are red, right?” “No, the bottom element is red on bottom and top element is yellow on bottom.” “Blue on top and red…” “That’s okay, Jim, I’ve got it.”
Life as we know it ended on July 21st 2013 with the death of Julia L. “Julie” Hodson. An avid supporter of the performing arts and inveterate traveler, Julie visited 49 states, more than 30 countries and all 7 continents. Julie was born in Seattle, the elder daughter of the Honorable James W. Hodson and Grace Hess Hodson. She was educated in Seattle schools, Forest Ridge Convent and graduated from Bellevue High School. Following high school she attended Colorado College and graduated from the University of Washington. She completed her legal education through a work/study program. For the last 20+ years her passion was her service as a Certified Professional Guardian to persons with impairment, providing for their needs while respecting and protecting their individual rights. She was also a self-described “community servant”, serving in numerous organizations. Julie was a founding board member of Habitat for Humanity of Island County – serving 14 years. She served on the Washington State Ferries Advisory Committee for 18 years. She was an active member of Soroptimist International since 1984. She was also active in the American Association of University Women, the Deception Pass Power Squadron, the NW Tulip Trekkers Volksport Club and other community organizations. At the time of her death, she was a current Commissioner of the Housing Authority of Island County and served
on the Board of Small Miracles, Coupeville’s Emergency Medical Support fund. In her work with the FIUTS organization at the University of Washington she hosted international students for 42 years. Julie worked with Harry Wilbert in organizing “Save the Trees” on Whidbey Island to preserve the old growth forest adjacent to South Whidbey State Park – part of which has now been added to the park, including “The Ancient Cedar” on the Wilbert Trail. Public Service was her lifetime work. Julie was preceded in death by both parents, and by her youngest son, Carl Mathew Pankau. She is survived by sons Gregory A. Pankau (and wife Mariana) of Bothell, WA., and Keith A. Pankau of Langley WA. , daughters Laura K. Crook (and husband Dan) of Wellston, OK, and Judith L. DeValdez of Freeland WA. Eleven grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, a sister, Elizabeth “Betsy” Dare in England and a niece, Elizabeth “Zeb” Dare also in England. And her loyal companion – her cat Lucie. A Christian Vigil service will be held at Wallin Funeral Home in Oak Harbor on Thursday, August 1st at 7:00 PM. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Mary’s Church in Coupeville on Friday, August 2nd at 2:00 PM. Burial will follow at Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville, followed by a reception in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Habitat for Humanity of Island County, PO Box 2279, Oak Harbor, WA 98277 or Small Miracles (Coupeville Emergency Medical Support Fund) PO Box 912, Coupeville, WA 98239. Care was entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories and offer condolences using the Memory Book found atwww.wallinfuneralhome.com.
Driving home from school, Mom sees her son getting picked on by the corner bullies. She slams on the breaks, hops out of the car, and marches up to the alpha bully. “Do you know who I am?”
As I am taking my first breath, Alessandro suggests, “Slow down, please. You are talking too fast. We understand English, but slower please.”
JULIA L. HODSON (PANKAU)
While other parents offered veiled and idle threats to the 8th grade club of hooligans, our story Mom took it one step further.
“ Jim, I’d like you to meet Alessandro and Marco, our good friends who came to visit us, all the way from Italy.”
“Sorry, Alessandro, and Marco. Well, Buena Sera and Zooma Zooma to you both. That’s the only Italian I know. Louis Prima style. Hey Marco, did you know that we Americans have a kids game we play in the swimming pool called Marco Polo?”
11
“Yes”, says the bully.
“No ma’am, I didn’t know.”
That, ladies and gentlemen, is old school diplomacy in a middle school setting. It worked.
French Flies Last July 25th was the 104th anniversary of Louis Bieriot of France crossing the English Channel in a 28-horsepower monoplane, with a wingspan of just twenty-three feet. It was the first time that trick had been accomplished, making it the world’s first international overseas flight with or without a pillow.

Moon Pies The dark spots on the moon that create the benevolent “man in the moon” image are actually basins filled three to eight kilometers deep with basalt, a dense mineral, which causes immense gravitation variations. Take that element of info to your next bored meeting.
Food Tip Overheard a man in the airport security line talking about a recipe posted on his Facebook page for Pan Seared Parmesan Scallops. We tried to see the picture of the seared scallops on his iPhone while he was showing the deliciousness to his friend on her iPad, but my eyes weren’t good enough. Maybe next time, when I’m eyes-dropping.
Willie on Lance “I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved, winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs. When I was on drugs, I couldn’t even find my bike.” –Willie Nelson Have a great week!

The Wallins have experience you can trust By Eileen Brown Why aren’t you telling your family what you want? For example, do you want your ashes scattered at sea to signify your maritime service? Or do you want to spend eternity in a plot above Ebey’s Landing. What about music? Is Linda Ronstadt’s “Goodbye, My Friend” suited to your memorial or is your family going to choose for you –perhaps the solid old hymn “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.” The fact is, without pre-planning, your last tribute will bear your family’s idea of what suits you, but not necessarily your last wishes. “People place their trust in us,” said Gary Wallin. “It comes from years of treating everyone as a special friend, even if we haven’t met before.” Wallin Funeral Home located in Oak Harbor remains independent and locally owned. Most funeral homes and cemeteries in our region have been sold to multi-national conglomerates. “Our service mission is never compromised by accountability to far-off stockholders,” said Gary. “We are longtime residents of the community. The reputation we have for serving residents of the local community is our greatest asset.” If you are confused by the variety of funeral services offered through the mail, be aware that these packages might contain items you don’t want or need. Such groupings can artificially inflate advertised savings. ”Our staff members will listen carefully to your wishes and be respectful of your emotional and financial needs,” added Martha Wallin, Gary’s wife and indispensable partner. Both Gary and Martha are committed to respecting your right to make a decision without undue influence. Whether your needs are simple or elaborate, Wallin prices stay reasonable. There is something only you know. No one else knows the details of your life that make you who you are. What experiences shaped you? There are no rules for how to have the talk, only that you do it. “Every time someone places their trust in Wallin Funeral Home, we have an obligation to prove we are worthy,” said Gary. “As a policy of our firm, if you or your family experience dissatisfaction with any of our professional services or facilities, we will reduce or eliminate the charge for that item.” Have “the talk.” Send it to everyone in the family address book. Have someone in the family help you share your story, or write it yourself. Let your ancestors read about your favorite summer, the best advice you ever got from grandpa or your parents and what was the most difficult thing to endure. Put down on paper how you would you like your family and friends to commemorate you when you die? “At Wallin Funeral Home, we are here to prove we are worthy. We take our obligation seriously,” Gary concluded. Stop by and get to know the staff at Wallin Funeral Home and Cremation, at the edge of Maple Leaf Cemetery, 1811 NE 16th Avenue, Oak Harbor, or call (360) 675-3447.
