Island Shakespeare Festival Presents: Much Ado About Nothing Island Shakespeare Festival has kicked off its fourth season with “Much Ado About Nothing.” The company is performing the show in a custom-made circus tent, which was made especially for the community theater

by Armbruster Tent Company, and has been erected in a field behind Langley Middle School near downtown Langley.

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.

The cast includes Matthew Bell, Morgan Bondelid, Laurel Livezey, Damien Cortez, Ahna DunnWilder, Cameron Gray, Miles Harrison, Gabe Harshman, Olena Hodges, Valerie Huntington, Kent Junge, Melanie Lowey, David Mayer, Andrew Pearce and Cedar Stephens. Michelle Durr is the stage manager.

The design team includes Michelle Durr, stage manager; Aaron Simpson, music design/ composer; Nathan Simpson, musician; Aloria Lanshaw, costume design; Jody Harrison, prop design; Val Johnson, puppet design; tech and set design, Roderick Stewart; and Frank Laurie, set construction.

Admission to Island Shakespeare Festival is free.

Shows start at 5:00pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, through September 15. The field is located behind Langley Middle School at 723 Camano Ave. next to the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds in Langley.

Coupeville Celebrates the Art of the Boat Whidbey Island artist Claire Acord and a circle of boat and art enthusiasts are announcing the first annual “Coupeville celebrates the Art of the Boat”, which will be spread throughout Coupeville on Saturday, September 14.

This event is being created to celebrate the beauty of boats, which are the perfect fusion

of art and science. It will showcase the various talents—artists, writers, musicians, and boat builders—who find inspiration in watercraft. And it embraces the spirit and history of Whidbey Island, a place naturally dependent on boats.

Whidbey boat builders and owners will bring a number of small watercraft to display throughout Coupeville for the day, including sailboats, rowboats, kayaks and canoes. Although the emphasis is on handcrafted boats, there are no restrictions. Anyone

Johnsons Debut DVD About Local Birds and How to Enjoy Them

NAS Whidbey Island SAR Rescues Hiker Near Lena Lake NAS Whidbey Island’s Search and Rescue (SAR) unit responded to a rescue call from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office after a 19-year-old woman injured her back while hiking with a group in the Olympic Mountains on August 28, 2013.

According to Lt. Cmdr. Shane Jones, the MH-60S Knighthawk Helicopter Aircraft Commander, a tree had fallen on the young woman near Lena Lake, south of Brothers Mountain. Her potential spine injuries necessitated an emergency airlift.

“She was located up around the 1,800 foot level,” said Jones, who brought the helicopter down to a clear zone 200 yards from the woman and dropped off Naval Aircrewmen Helicopter 2nd Class (AWS2) Timothy Hawk and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Brent McIntyre to assist getting the injured hiker aboard the aircraft.

A civilian ground rescue crew had already been on scene and had placed a cervical collar on the injured woman’s neck and placed her on a back board.

Chicken Little And the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

Dear Astrologer I’m a vegetarian. This guy I know (I’ll call him Fred—not his real name) is on the paleo diet— heavy on the meat. I’m a bicyclist and environmental activist. Fred drives a mud-caked 4X4.

I read literature and browse on the web. Fred reads American Rifleman and browses on beef jerky. You get the picture. It’s Granola Girl meets caveman. Fred and I have NOTHING in common. And yet, I am attracted to him! Fred doesn’t know it, but there’s something about this caveman that almost makes me willing to give up tofu to be his Wilma Flintstone for a week!

I casually acquired his data: June 18, 1987 in Tacoma, Washington (time unknown).

What’s between Fred and me that has me thinking such crazy thoughts? Is there something beneath the surface mismatch to make sense of my attraction to him? April 8, 1985 at 2:32 AM in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Not a Leopard Print Princess Dear Princess Prince Paleo and you score high in your astrological relationship analysis. Normally, that would bode well for your prospects as a couple, but in your case it worries me.

Are you and Fred operating at the same level of emotional maturity? Are you more or less equal in your spiritual development?

Too often, couples realize only after years of marriage that the answer is no. Then, the very planetary compatibility that drew them together becomes a tether preventing their separation. It’s very possible to love someone that you cannot possibly live with. Few things are harder on the heart than being bound within an unworkable marriage.

I suggest you think twice before giving up your tofu.

Dear Astrologer Thank you for explaining my life to me.

Sometimes seeing it in words helps me understand what is going on. This lets me know that everything is not my fault, that I’m not too broken or that good things are just for other people. I know I’m strong or I wouldn’t have made it this far! It’s just not my time.

I understand that I need to hibernate. Other than walking the beach and watching the deer in my yard and finding ways to feed my soul on my own, is there something I should be working on/focusing on to prepare for 2017?

Writing? Art? Sewing? I’m having such a hard time doing anything at this point. Help.

Still Trying Dear Trying Focus on learning how to carry the essence of hibernation—the peace that beach walks and deer in your yard gives you—out into the world. You have nearly mastered the art of being comfortable with yourself. Only one thing is lacking now, and that is to be at ease and comfortable with your personality in a group of unlike people.

Detach yourself from concerns about what others think of you. Those others exist only to reflect to you what you think about yourself.

You are learning to stop playing roles for the purpose of pleasing people, and to be your authentic self. You are also learning to allow and accept the many feelings and emotions that you so rigidly control.

Feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are

This woman says she’s a Libra Monkey, looking for an Aquarian Dragon. Can you tell me what she means by that? Also, can you tell me something astrological to tell her about myself, just in case she asks? I’m an Aquarian, but I don’t know about the Dragon part. I’m hoping that’s what I am. I’d hate to mess up my approach by not knowing these things. She’s so good looking and all. I haven’t written to her yet, but I’m going to, just as soon as I get clear on the Dragon thing. February 1, 1989 at 1:34 PM in Oakland, California.

Hoping I’m a Dragon Dear Hoping The woman you pursue is seeking a man born in the Chinese Year of the Dragon. She obviously desires to match her Year of the Monkey cleverness and intelligence with the power, mysticism and good fortune that are the major attributes of the Dragon. Dragon and Monkey are one of the ideal pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

You are an Earth Dragon, one of five possible varieties. Earth lends stability and patience to the ambitious Dragon personality.

You may impress this woman by telling her you have Gemini rising, imparting to you a curiosity and an experimental approach to life that will appeal to her Monkey nature. Also mention your Sagittarius Moon. Its placement in your seventh house is ideal for finding happiness and contentment within a relationship.

Dear Astrologer My family is a mess, sorry to say. My oldest daughter, who has a way of walking off a job just in time to prevent her being fired, just quit her second job in as many weeks. She is separated from her husband and really needed that job. My youngest daughter just became a single parent following a bad divorce. My son is engaged to be married, and it is really for him that I’m writing you.

Would an auspicious wedding date for my son save him the relationship grief my two daughters are experiencing? I have read that marriages in India are timed carefully to insure the marriage endures. And if so, whose birth time do you use, the man’s or the woman’s?

I feel like I’m grasping at straws, but I would try anything to bring my dysfunctional family to order.

Meddling Mother Dear Meddling Timing of marriages using astrology is an Indian tradition dating back to antiquity. The bride’s birth data are used to select a favorable date. The technique can be quite successful, given the patience to await a favorable day, but there is one problem: The consummation of the marriage is what is being timed. The pattern by which the marriage will unfold is set by the first sexual union of the two people involved. If your son has already been to bed with his fiancé, it means that, by Eastern astrological standards, his “wedding” date is already history. If he can recall the day and time of that precious moment, he may gain insight into what was set in motion, but nothing can undo it.

Your intentions are commendable, Mom, but there is little you can do to spare your family pain.

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.

They left Ireland and traveled back to Whidbey Island via ship around Cape Horn, a fiveto six-month journey back then.

Just how did those young immigrants who came to our area to make history know where to start? The call to create farms, lumber mills and granaries went out for young men arriving as passengers on steam ferries docking at Oak Harbor. Sea captains in their sailing ships brought young men from Holland and Ireland, often with little or no money on them. Strapping young men were needed for construction and forestry jobs. Besides, women already outnumbered men (prospective suitors) and it seemed a good trade-off for young men to become part of the community by doing what they would have had they stayed at home – first, find a job, then find a bride, and then start a family.

He brought Mary’s headstone back to Whidbey Island with him and had it erected on her grave on Maylor’s Point.

Late in the day on Aug. 16, taking a break from the Irish Music Camp Concert at Fort Casey, the Cascadia Irish Music Camp, a group from Seattle’s Irish Heritage Club led

by John Keane, sang to the memory of Mary Barrett Maylor, whose particular headstone, chiseled in old Gaelic script during the 18th century, reminded visitors that pioneer life was especially hard on women. That they died before their time is reflected, for example, on pioneer-era headstones in Sunnyside Cemetery, overlooking Ebey’s Prairie.

Mary died at age 31, a long way from her birthplace of Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.

JR noted they saw more State Troopers on the road when they hit Washington State than on any other leg of the trip.

By Eileen Brown

You will not be able to decipher Mary’s headstone unless you are a student of old Gaelic. Nevertheless, here is the headstone as inscribed: Fúr / Máire Barrot / bás ann so Ap 9 AD 1861 / do bhí / aon bhlighian dheug air fhíchid / daos aici / rugadh ann Níneath Eirínn / bean meacáinte Sam’l Maylor / phóiseadh íad ann LIVERPOOL / ann sa Teampall Padair 21 d 1856 / bhí trí mic aca / Paul Tamás B agus Mairion S / Do bhí a hathair Oin Barrot / Trailíghe / A mathair Clara Page / Luimneach / Rís Now try that in English: Máire Barrett died here April 9, AD 1861.

She was 31 years of age. She was born in Nenagh Ireland, beloved wife of Samuel Maylor. They were married in Liverpool in St. Peter’s Church 21 December 1856. They had three sons, Paul, Thomas B and Mairion S. Her father was Eoin Barrett, Tralee. Her mother Clara Page, Limerick. Arise. Inscribed on the back of the headstone in English is “Mary, we love one another still.”

A more complete story of the headstone’s history reports that in 1853, two Irish-born brothers, Thomas and Samuel Maylor, staked their claims in present-day Oak Harbor on the peninsula which is still called Maylor’s Point on Whidbey Island in Washington State near Seattle. When Sam’s wife Mary died in 1861, Sam returned to Ireland with their three children where he had a headstone sculpted and inscribed in old-style Irish Gaelic for Mary’s grave.

Samuel took his three little ones to Victoria, BC to live until he could secure passage on a ship bound for Liverpool. He obtained a nurse to care for the children. Near the close of a year a ship arrived and on March 25, 1862, he sailed with his three boys to London on the Princess Royal, arriving there the last of July.

On Oct. 23, 1862, in St. Paul’s Episcopal Parish Church, he married Margaret Corcoran, a cousin to his deceased wife. Two more sons, Thomas and Samuel, were born to the Maylors.

In early 1941, the Maylor family sold Maylor’s Point to the Navy to build what became the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, but the family brought the headstone from their grandmother’s grave with them. In 1973, the headstone was given to the local historical society which erected it in the Pioneer section of Sunnyside Cemetery beside a wooden blockhouse that dates from the 1800s.

‘This vehicle is backing up!’

After traveling 3,000 miles without incident, JR and Sarah Russell of Oak Harbor pulled into their driveway to find two flat tires on the van they left at home. All it took was a call to Les Schwab and the tires were repaired in no time for free! Good thing, as the Russells were tired after a long and interesting trip.

Also of note, “I found most western drivers to be ego-centric and oblivious to the rules of the road, compared to Midwest drivers who know exactly what the rules are and New Englanders who drive like they are in a dog fight.

The trip allowed them to run up thousands of miles coast to coast so they could visit their three children, family and dear friends.

Sarah attended the Alleluia Music Conference in Waco, Texas at Baylor University and stayed with daughter, Jessica. At the conference, Sarah learned about using hand chimes and plans on starting a hand chime choir at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church this fall.

Next it was off to Boston to see daughter Kelsey and her husband. JR and Sarah rented a car and drove to Connecticut to see JR’s mother and good friend John Doyle who suffered a massive stroke a year ago and is paralyzed with virtually no speech ability. JR has no problem though and video chats with him often.

After they flew to Pigeon Forge, Tenn., to attend a magic convention, they visited their son Jimmy and celebrated his one-year anniversary since brain surgery. JR reported Jimmy, now 24, is thrilled to finally get his license and a car of his own. “That’s independence!”

From there it was on to Oklahoma. Sarah’s folks, Jesse and Tillie, live in Oklahoma and own a 2003 Chevy Explorer van and as one would expect from a retired Air Force chief master sergeant, they keep their van fastidiously clean. Little used, JR gave it a look and Jesse said to his son-in-law, “If you can get it out of the driveway, you can have it!”

That did it! The ‘Cascade Cruiser’ was going home with the Russells. There’s one feature, however, that cannot be disabled and could irritate their neighbors. When backing up, a stern female voice announces, “Attention, please. This vehicle is backing up!” Not once, but over and over. JR is like a kid with a new toy.

JR was elected Northwest Region President of the Society of American Magicians, and met a number of his colleagues while on the road. “We shared all sorts of ideas and I learned how to be a better family entertainer,” JR said. The former Navy squadron commanding officer hopes to share his magic with schools and retirement homes.

He has been working with two of his magician friends as “Three Magic Guys” with an October show at the Whidbey Playhouse.

Thanks to my retired accountant, Butch Freybot, C.P.A., O.D.U., L.S.M.F.T., for recommending the above non-Suduko exercise.

Fatherly Support Our senior year in high school, my class presented the play Take Her, She’s Mine. The role in which I was cast called for scene brevity, and just a few lines of memorization.

My big moment was on a park bench, center stage, trying to hustle my fellow classmate, Jane Skinner, who was much too smart in real life to put up with my approach to romance on stage. Our lack of chemistry must have even showed in biology class.

After the play, which was the first and only time my dad ever stepped into our school auditorium, the keeper of the checkbook approached: “Well, son, I can’t say much for your acting, but at least I could hear you.”

Thank goodness I have never been asked to speak up, just shut up.

Old Man Greene Old man Greene is dying in the hospital, surrounded by his two sons, his only daughter, his wife and a nurse. Rising up in his bed, the father speaks quietly to each child: “To you, Jeffrey, I leave the houses in Beverly Hills and Bel-Air. To you, my dear daughter, I leave the apartments in Malibu.

To you, Henry, being my youngest son with a large future, I leave all of the City Center offices.

And to you, my dear wife, I leave the three residential towers in downtown.”

The nurse, impressed, says to the wife: “Mrs. Greene, I had no idea your family was so wealthy. You are all so fortunate!”

The wife retorts– “Wealthy? Lucky? My husband is a Milkman. Those are his routes.”

Shopping List A wife asks her husband, “Could you go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and, if they have avocados, get six.”

A short time later, the husband comes back with six cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, “Why did you buy six cartons of milk?”

He replied, “They had avocados.”

Water in the Carburetor WIFE: “There is trouble with the car. It has water in the carburetor.”

HUSBAND: “Water in the carburetor? That’s ridiculous” WIFE: “I tell you, the car has water in the carburetor.”

HUSBAND: “I bet you don’t even know what a carburetor is! I will check it out. Where is the car?

WIFE: “You didn’t set the brake. It’s in the pool.”

He Must Pay Husband and wife had a tiff. Wife called up her mom and said, “He shouted at me again, Mom, so I am coming to live with you.”

Quickly, her mother replied: “No darling, he

Today’s Trivia Lesson We just overheard Queen Zorro, the fastest kindergartner at James Monroe Elementary in South Bend, Indiana, tell her oldest sister Linna on her cell phone that she had a charley horse.

Being ever so curious when eavesdropping, I checked the origin of that expression with the Stuart Berg Flexner words and phrases book, Listening to America.

Podcasts

kwparadio.org

From page 39, of my 1982 copy: “Charley horse, a severe stiffness in a leg or arm muscle due to over exercise, strain, or a blow, first entered the language as a baseball term in 1888. It is almost certainly from some baseball player who walked or limped like an old horse, because the player’s name was Charley or the old, limping horse was named Charley.

Old horses were used by early groundskeepers (1903) to drag the infield and some of the baseball horses were well loved by players and fans.”

SERENITY Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, ‘How old was your husband?’ ‘98,’ she replied...’Two years older than me.’

‘So you’re 96,’ the undertaker commented.

She responded, ‘Hardly worth going home, is it?’

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: ‘And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?’ the reporter asked.

‘No peer pressure.’

The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs and have fun finding them.

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.

‘Wal-Mart?’ the preacher exclaimed. ‘Why Wal-Mart?’

‘Then I’ll be sure my daughters will be visiting me twice a week.’

The Senility Prayer Grant me the senility to forget the people that I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Alden Victor Hoffman Alden Victor Hoffman was born July 7, 1929 and died on July 17, 2013 in Vero Beach, Florida at the age of 84. Our father was born and raised in Oak Harbor, Washington. He had a tremendous love of Whidbey Island and the people that lived in this great northwestern community. He graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1947 and met his lifelong partner, Ella Mae Kirkpatrick. They were married in 1948 and enjoyed their long journey together until her death in May, 2007.

Al was a carpenter for NAS (Naval Air Station) Whidbey Island, retiring at the age of 55 with 37 years of service. Other than his wife and family, his great love was sports. He played football, basketball, and baseball in high school. After high school he played some football but primarily played basketball for the Oak Harbor town team that traveled the Northwest playing other town teams. His favorite was probably the Oak Harbor Oaks, the town’s semipro baseball team. When his serious ball playing days were over he turned to coaching baseball for the Oak Harbor Little League Association for approximately 10 years, while continuing to play church league basketball.

Al was an Elks charter member of Lodge #2362 for 58 years and was a member of the Oak Harbor Methodist Church. He was an avid golfer and became a charter member of the Whidbey Golf & Country Club in 1961. Besides golfing, Al enjoyed having season tickets to the Seattle Seahawks beginning in their first year of 1976 and season tickets to the UW Huskies. He finally discovered a better team in the WSU Cougars and was a loyal supporter for the rest of his life.

Al and Ella’s retirement was spent wintering for 23 years in Southern California, Lake Havasu, Arizona, and finally settling in the Sun City Grand community of Phoenix, Arizona. Golfing, traveling throughout the U.S. to visit family and friends, and entertaining themselves at various casinos was their great joy.

Cocktail time with all their dear friends was always a special treat. Dad and Mom relocated to Kennewick, Washington in 2003 and after our mother’s passing in 2007, Al moved with his son and daughterin-law to Vero Beach, Florida in July 2011.

Al leaves behind his many dear friends in Oak Harbor. He never stopped telling stories and reliving memories he had and his friends were always in his heart. He also made many new friends in all his travels and his final home of Vero Beach, Florida.

Alden is survived by his son Keith Hoffman (Linda) of Vero Beach, Florida, daughters Karen Byrd of Alexander, Arkansas and Carol Hoffman of Lawton, Oklahoma; 4 grandsons, David Hoffman of Marietta, Georgia, Daniel Hoffman (Nicole) of Puyallup, Washington, Kyle Byrd of North Little Rock, Arkansas, and Shaun Hernandez (Jennifer) of Lawton, Oklahoma; 1 granddaughter, Heather Price (Jeff) of El Paso, Texas; 2 great grandsons; Jacob Hoffman of Puyallup, WA, and Preston Mehan of El Paso, TX; 7 great granddaughters, Jada Hoffman of Puyallup, WA, Lindsey Hoffman, Christina Chastain, and Kristin Kuettel of Marietta, GA, Emma Price and Zoe Price of El Paso, TX, and Isabella Hernandez of Lawton, OK. A family grave side service at Maple Leaf Cemetery in Oak Harbor, Washington will be held at 1:00 PM on September 7th with a reception following at 2:00 PM at Wallin Funeral Home.

Memorials can be made to the Oak Harbor Little League Association or the American Heart Association.

Friends and family are encouraged to share memories and condolences in the Book of Memories at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.

Perry W. “Duke” Dushek On August 11, Perry passed away at Whidbey General Hospital of natural causes. He was 91.

Perry was born April 19th, 1922 to Harry and Della Dushek at the farm home in Viola, Minnesota. He was fourth of seven children.

When WWII started, he was put on a farm deferment and could not enlist in the service. After most of his running mates had left for the service, he told the draft board he no longer worked on the farm and was soon inducted. He selected the U.S. Navy, and was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Station for recruit training, followed by continued training to Fort Pierce, FL. Duke’s Navy career spanned 20 years, including serving in WWII and the Korean War as a Gunner’s Mate. Following the Korean War, his assignments included Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Virginia and in 1959, came to NAS Whidbey in the new EOD unit as an underwater demolitions expert. Achieving the rank of chief, he retired out of Concord, CA and returned to Oak Harbor to make it his permanent home.

In 1964, he bought the 76 Union Station with Oscar Carter. 1968, he sold his half to his partner and started Dushek Appliance Repair, which he operated until 1985 when he changed careers. He then became secretary for the Elk’s Lodge for the next 10 years. Not content to retire, he began working at Wal-Mart in 1999. In February 2007, at the age of 86, he decided to retire for good.

Duke was a charter and life member of the OH Elk’s Lodge #2362, serving in all positions to include two terms as Exalted Ruler and District Deputy for the state. He was also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Whitehead-Muzzall Post 3037, Fleet Reserve Branch 97 and American Legion George Morris Post 129. He was an avid bowler and fisherman. In 2000, he fulfilled a lifelong desire to become a beekeeper and supplied his family and friends with jars of his “Old Duke’s Honey.” In his final years, he kept busy with his gardening.

Duke is survived by his wife of 60+ years, June, sons Lawrence of Sheridan, Wyoming, James of Oak Harbor, daughters Joan (Bruce) Rohm of Oak Harbor, Judy [James} Paradiso of Kent, Washington, and

granddaughter Bethany [Robert] Wright of Oak Harbor. He is also survived by his brother Paul Dushek of Backus, Minnesota. He is preceded in death by his parents, four sisters and one brother.

Memorial contributions may be made to UW Medicine Advancement, ATTN; Gift Processing, Box 358045, Seattle Washington 98195-8045. Checks should be made payable to UW Foundation. Please indicate in memory of Perry Dushek and choose either Scholarships (code: UWMEDS) or Research (code MDNOVT) at UW Medicine. Contributions can also be made to the Tall Elks Organization.

Memorial services for Duke Dushek will be held at a later date. Friends and family are encouraged to share condolences and memories utilizing the Memory Book hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www. wallinfuneralhome.com.

Joseph B. “Joe” Lewin Joseph “Joe” Bruce Lewin went to be with the Lord on August 20, 2013, after a brief illness. Joe was born in Forest Park, Illinois, to Doran Lewin and Emma (Whetzel) Lewin of Iowa.

Joe lived as a youngster in South Dakota and his family eventually moved to Seattle. At the age of 17, he joined the United States Marine Corp. While a Marine, Joe was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Service Medal, a UN Service Medal and a Good Conduct Medal. After serving in both Japan and Korea, Joe ended his military career at NAS Whidbey.

In 1956, Joe married island native, Nancy Olson. The couple had 2 children, Carol and Doug. Joe was a family man who worked hard to provide for those he loved. He was a commercial fisherman and crabber. He also worked residential and commercial construction. Nancy passed away in 2005 after a short illness.

In 2009, Joe married a local pharmacist, Dorothy Nelson. The two have enjoyed spending time completing lots of DIY projects on their home, working in their yard, traveling, and drinking coffee while watching the sun rise from their front porch.

Joe is survived by his wife, Dorothy Lewin, of Oak Harbor and his two children and their spouses: Carol and James Booth of Oak Harbor and Doug and Debbie Lewin of Wenatchee. He is survived by four grandchildren: Susan Booth of Oak Harbor, Megan, Hannah and Joseph Lewin of Wenatchee, and five great-grandchildren: Blake, Rebecca and Austin Booth of Oak Harbor and Aiden and Liam Strampher of Wenatchee. He is also survived by one sister, Ann Miller of Barstow, California.

Joe requested no formal funeral services be conducted. Friends and family are encouraged to offer condolences and share memories utilizing the Book of Memories hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.

Monty Lee Madsen Beatty Monty Lee Madsen Beatty passed away on Monday morning August 26, 2013 at the age of 73. She was an amazing woman, friend to all, always reaching out to serve others. She leaves an enormous void in the lives of all who knew her.

Monty was born in Salt Lake City, UT on May 21, 1940 to James Carl and Sarah Lorraine Bateman Madsen. Her father died when she was 9 years old and she determined then that she would “grow up to be a nurse and care for her daddy, while her mother remained at home to care for her sisters who would never grow up.” At the age of 8, she showed a talent for the piano and took lessons until she graduated from high school. She studied briefly with the mother of Grant Johannesen. Much to the consternation of her mom and dad, she opted to enroll in the College of Nursing at Brigham Young University rather than accept a scholarship to Julliard. She excelled at nursing and worked most of her career as a Medical-Surgical nurse.

In 1968, she ran into an aspiring medical student who swept her off her feet. He departed for Jacksonville FL to serve an internship, and she followed soon after. She married Hugh T. Beatty on December 21, 1968 in Orange Park, FL and thereafter went with him about the country as he pursued a naval career.

Together they retired in Oak Harbor in 1985 and enjoyed second careers with the Whidbey Playhouse where their considerable musical talents were put to good use in many productions.

She was a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, serving many years with the Young Women’s program and for 17 years as an ordinance worker in the Seattle Temple. She taught Seminary for 4 years and, for many years, taught regularly in Relief Society. For 40 years she was the organist in church.

Monty is survived by her husband of 45 years, Terry; four children, D’Le Aunne Beatty-Tobias of Jocotopec, Mexico, Todd Dean Beatty (Donna) of Afton, WY, Tyrrell Van Beatty (Tiffany) of Kirkland, WA and Michelle Rivers (Rich) of Gricignano, Italy. Also surviving are 10 grandchildren, one great-granddaughter (born on Monty’s birthday in 2013) and two sisters, Michal Chapman and Dalene Loder, both of Spokane. She was preceded in death by her parents and by one sister, Lynne Marie Lybbert.

Services for Monty were held on Saturday, August 31 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Oak Harbor with visitation from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm. Bishop Reed Hopper officiated. Burial followed at Maple Leaf Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, Monty suggests donations to the Arthritis Foundation Washington, 115 NE 100th Street, Suite 350, Seattle, WA 98125.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. Family and friends are encouraged to offer condolences and share stories in the Book of Memories hosted on their website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.
