LoCaLLy opERatED. Thanks for the direction and the confirmation of me getting closer to myself without masks. Still Trying Dear Trying The old saying, “Life is what you make it,” is so very true. By your example of meeting your woes with awareness and intent to rise above them, you open the door for many to do likewise. Thank you, and many blessings on your way.
CHICKEN LITTLE AND THE ASTROLOGER By Wesley Hallock
Dear Astrologer I have three siblings ages 65, 63 and 61—and I just turned 40. It doesn’t take a mathematician to see that my mother planned her children and I was not in the plan.
My sister and brothers grew up and left home before I was born, so I often feel like an only child. This is especially true now that dementia has set in and Mom can no longer care for herself. I get lots of long-distance advice and “atta girl” encouragement from those three and little else. To top it off, Mom in her demented state often no longer remembers me. On my last visit with her in the adult care home, I had to show her my driver’s license to convince her I was her daughter. This is destroying me. What am I supposed to be getting out of this? July 26, 1973, at 5:14 AM in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Whoops Baby Dear Whoops Baby You are not being destroyed. You are being rebuilt from the inside out. You live an emotionally isolated life because of Saturn’s effect on your Moon. Feeling like an only child is one effect. Living in fear is another. At this time in your life, you are isolated like a fog-bound ship. It’s just you and your mother, and for good reason. She is making you feel emotions you have not wanted to feel, as a way to end your fear and draw you out of your isolation. You have unsurpassed problem solving abilities and strength of character, thanks to a superb Sun and Mars. The process you are living is making those qualities even stronger. Study your mother closely. She is your compass in the fog. Even in her demented state, she is reflecting precious truths to you about yourself that you could gain in no other way. Not a pleasant process, but neither is it the voyage of the Titanic. Hang in there. You will survive to thrive. Astrologer’s Note: A woman known as Still Trying appeared recently on these pages. She is a woman seeking direction amid a painful period of her life. The best I could offer her was a far-away hope for better times ahead, combined with a mix of soft humor and metaphor to explain that, despite appearances to the contrary, she was on track and living a life filled with meaningful purpose. In a second column, I gave Still Trying more insight into herself and a suggestion on how best to utilize her time. I’m sharing her reply below for those who do not yet understand the power of astrology as a tool for emotional healing through self-understanding. Dear Astrologer I have re-read your response several times, wishing the people around me understood me as well as you do, without you knowing me. I will try to bring that peace [of self-acceptance] out and about with me.
In my life, I have had to control my emotions as best I could and as a result they have occasionally come out sideways down the road. Anger has gone inward causing depression. Pain and grief has been held until I get so teary that I don’t even know where it is coming from (later after the fact.)
Dear Astrologer My problems began with unwise decisions made years ago. To name a few, I chose a church wedding, which was what my mother wanted, instead of the outdoor gazebo wedding I really wanted. I chose to live in a house with a terrible kitchen layout because it has a garage that my husband loves. I chose over my better judgment to let my children have their choice of pets, and they chose to breed long-haired guinea pigs.
It took me a while, but I realized denying myself to make other people happy was not good for me or them. I talked less and less with my mother. I replaced cooking with microwave meals. I nagged the kids constantly over the guinea pig smell in their room. When the kids began calling me a witch, I took an honest look at the mess that was my life and didn’t like what I saw. I realized it was my own fault for being such a squishy people pleaser. I don’t know what came over me, but something did. I drew up plans to remodel the kitchen. I set a date with my husband to renew our wedding vows in the gazebo. I closed down the guinea pig menagerie. And most important of all, I quit putting others first and began taking care of myself. Now, with the hidden resentments out of the way, I can talk to my mother again, cook healthy meals and love my children. As I said, after years of being unable to speak up for myself, something came over me that helped me to find my voice, and it was the best thing to happen to me. Any idea what it was? October 18, 1953, at 3:13 PM in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Squishy No More Dear Squishy No More Bravo! You are an example of what I mean when I write of a collective transformation sweeping the world. People everywhere are opening their eyes to see in new ways and taking needed action to fix the things needing to be fixed. The planets involved are Uranus and Pluto, and they will continue to dominate the news into 2016. Thank you for sharing! Dear Astrologer I’m a brat and I admit it. Totally spoiled. It’s all about me, like every day is my birthday. I tell my friends if they want to be my friend, they better get used to it. So you’ve probably guessed I’m a Leo. Tell me something new. I want something really juicy about myself. Like, why am I such a brat? August 9, 1986, at 10:42 AM in New York, New York
Loving Myself
Puzzle 1 (Easy, difficulty rating 0.40)
Dear Loving It’s that Moon-Venus-Ketu combination of yours, gift wrapped in your rising sign of Libra. Ketu is all about obsessions, and here it only deepens your fascination with your favorite subject–you. You want juicy, try this—Your focus in this lifetime is supposed to relationships. The juicy part is that you’ve redefined the word relationship to mean someone telling you how great you are! Go for it, girl. It’s healthy to be at peace with who you are. 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 planetbiz4u2@gmail.com. It’s fun and it’s free. You’ll also sleep better.

“Bidder 70” media is not doing genuine journalism seeking public records – from say Island County Government – and doing through research in the mold of our state’s Eric Nalder, Suzannah Frame and Heather “Newsbrooke” Brooke?
Letters to the Editor Editor, The 100 Deadly Days of Summer that began Memorial Day Friday ended Labor Day. It is one of the most dangerous and deadliest times of the year on our nation’s roads. Sadly it seems Island County was not left unscathed. We lost at least one person to a driver suspected of being under the influence during this time while others were injured in suspected DUI crashes. Together we must do what we can to reduce the threat of DUI because it is a threat to each and every one of us. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank those businesses and organizations that supported our Keep It a Safe Summer campaign: Thank you to sponsors Farmers Insurance/Voit Agency, Harada Physical Therapy, HomePlace Special Care Center, Martin’s Auto Electric, Munros’ Driving Insurance, Oak Harbor Les Schwab Tire Center, Oak Harbor Elks, State Farm Insurance/Landry Agency, Tradewinds Insurance and Whidbey Weekly and to the many businesses that donated items for our auction in May or placed a KISS collection container in their store. All funds raised are to be matched by long-time Partner in Prevention Island Thrift up to $5,000 for IDIPIC’s mission to deter driving under the influence and underage drinking in our communities through education and awareness.
Going through these public documents I have found out why Outlying Field Coupeville (OLF Coupeville) is worth fighting for. First, the US Navy recently produced a brochure that explained OLF Coupeville is used for Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP): “In order to properly prepare crews for the dynamic nature of shipboard flying, it is imperative to replicate carrier landing experience as much as possible.” OLF Coupeville provides that training and if the paid media would earn their pay, they’d interview retired naval aviators – easily found via Facebook VAQ squadron groups’ pages – exactly how vital OLF Coupeville is, not just the anti-OLF Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve folks. In another public document I found that when local officials asked about an OLF Coupeville alternative, a US Navy Rear Admiral said, “The Coupeville OLF is one of the best in the Navyclose distance to the main base and relatively low density around the airfield. He also stated that it would be exceptionally challenging to acquire a new OLF both financially and environmentally.” I also learned sadly the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve want to close OLF Coupeville, even threatening to file an injunction without an OLF replacement, therefore callously disregarding our sailors’ lives. They also have a President in Ken Pickard that has said, “the NAS base keeps the island dysfunctional”, “close the base” and has referred to our troops’ pay as “the federal pork it delivers here on pay days”. Sad to say the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve is anti-Navy as long as Ken Pickard is in their group, despite their protestations to the contrary.
Mike Diamanti, Vice-President Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County
Finally, I applaud the US Navy for doing an Environmental Impact Study so we can find genuine cost-effective solutions to whatever genuine problems OLF Coupeville creates. I hope we can find the truths of the OLF Coupeville Crisis, with or without the mainstream media’s help and cooperation.
Editor,
Joe Kunzler, Sedro-Woolley, WA
I’m Joe Kunzler and I sincerely appreciate NAS Whidbey Island and the national security from external tampering the base provides; not just the lovely flying at OLF Coupeville I photograph when able. Sadly there are some who want to stop OLF Coupeville and not even wait until a US Navy EIS is complete and find cost-effective alternatives, hence me muckraking.

The 11th Tour de Whidbey, a bicycle ride benefiting the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation, will be held Saturday, September 21, 2013. This ride, which has grown in size each year, is expected to have over 500 riders, and will be supported by over 100 local volunteers. Riders have their choice of 30, 40, 50 and 100 mile routes which run North and South out of the Greenbank Farm, or a 10 mile beginner and family-friendly ride out of the Coupeville Middle/High School. The routes have been selected to showcase the beauty and varied
terrain of Whidbey Island, with routes passing through all of the communities on the island from Oak Harbor to Langley. Signs will be placed along the roads advising motorists that bicyclists will be out in unusually high numbers and asking that motorists pay particular attention to bicyclists this day. The Tour de Whidbey 100 mile Century route has become well known in cycling circles as being one of the more challenging rides in the state. Cyclists love the beauty of the island as well as the friendliness of the Tour volunteers and the local inhabitants. Registration fees cover route directions & maps, rider bibs, a pancake breakfast, well-supported rest stops every 15-20 miles, and an after-ride chili feed. The Island County Amateur Radio Club and the local Island Wings motorcycle club provide roving route support and radio communication at key locations. Through registration fees and the generous support of sponsors, the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation is raising funds this year toward the purchase of a state-of-the-art Breast MRI scan system to ensure Island women have the full spectrum of cancer diagnostic tools available to them here at home. For those wishing to register for any of the rides, registration forms can be downloaded from the Whidbey General Hospital website or you can register on-line at www.active.com. Registration forms are also available in the Hospital lobby kiosk, Bicycles Northwest in Oak Harbor, Half Link Bicycles in Bayview, Dean’s Sports Plus in Oak Harbor, as well as at all Whidbey Island Bank branches.

You are invited to join the Greening Congregations of Whidbey Island for the showing of an award-winning documentary called “Bidder 70” on September 27 at 7:00pm at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island. The film features the efforts and trial of University of Utah student Tim DeChristopher who puts his liberty on the line to challenge an illegal sale of public land for gas and petroleum exploitation by bidding on these lands himself, without monetary backing, at an auction. You will follow Tim’s odyssey as he faces down the federal government on ethical grounds and inspires a movement of civil disobedience called “Peaceful Uprising”. Tim was released from jail on April 21, 2013, after serving two years in federal prison. The film will be followed by a panel discussion. Bidder 70 is the first film in a series presented by Whidbey Island’s Greening Congregations entitled, “Moral Ground: Our Earth in Crisis”. Other films in this series include “Do the Math”, “Carbon Nation” and “Gasland Part 2”. They will be shown in the fall. For more information, contact Dianna Piazzon at (360)678-5131.

OutCast Productions Presents “Play On!” OutCast Productions presents “Play On!” September 20 to October 5 at the Black Box Theater in Langley. Rick Abbot’s behind-the-scenes comedy takes on the tradition of the great, door-slamming plays like “Noises Off” and literally lifts the curtain and lays bare the hilarious inner workings of the ‘Last Chance Players.’ Here is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theater during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their own share of laughter. Tickets are now on sale either through http:// www.brownpapertickets.com/event/313101 for credit card purchases, or by reserving tickets via email to be picked up and paid for at the door by cash or check at: ocp@whidbey.com. Tickets are $12 student/senior (62+) and $16 adults. The Black Box Theater is located at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds, 819 Camano Ave. in Langley. [Submitted by Patricia Duff]

Last night, those little sparklers far, far away were so brilliant I thought I was smart. For a moment. Then I remembered being kicked out of college my freshman year for drinking beer in my dorm room, while I was readying for the subsequent F which I received on my Chemistry final. Another proud moment with Dad when the postcard with my grade arrived, revealing to my father and the postal crew of the south side post office of Oil City, Pennsylvania, that the younger son of an oil executive knew very little about the periodic chart of elements. Except for Krypton. Thanks to DC Comics and Superboy, I was all over Krypton. In fact, during the Science Fair our senior year in high school, I wore a plastic rubber bald wig while dressed like Lex Luthor, Superboy’s Smallville nemesis. I passed out fake Krypton, actually green Dots candy, to those who passed by our exhibit. For this, I received a C in my Chemistry class, and a trip to the guidance counselor’s office to determine if I would rather walk in the woods, read a book, or move into an assisted thinking facility.
Scouting Opportunities Abound
Four score and three weeks ago
Back to school time means the start of a new year for Cub Scouts. The Cub Scout program is a family-oriented program designed for boys in Grade 1 (or 7-years-old) through Grade 5 (10-years-old). Although anytime is a great time to join scouts, Fall is when Packs really begin their program year. With 10 Packs on Whidbey Island, Cub Scouting is available almost every day of the week.
For the last fifteen years, the Greater Freeland Chamber of Commerce has hosted golf tournaments at Useless Bay Country Club, usually the last Sunday of August.
Boy Scouts is a program designed for boys between the ages of 11 and 18. The program achieves the Boy Scouts of America’s objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness. Boy Scouts have opportunities to experience the outdoors while learning skills, leadership, and teamwork. Although not as familiar as Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, the Venturing program is designed to provide a positive experience to help young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21 to mature and become responsible and caring adults. Venturing crews work together to plan activities such as hiking, mountain climbing, white water rafting, and manage the operations of the Venturing Crew.
These films are made possible through a grant from the Puget Sound Partnership/EcoNet program.
Families interested in joining any of these programs of the Boy Scouts of America should contact the Island District Membership Chair, TJ Pierzchala, islandbsamembership@gmail.com or Island District Executive, David Read, dread@ mountbakerbsa.org, (360)320-9991.
Admission is a suggested donation of $5

Last month, I had the pleasure of serving as auctioneer during the evening festivities following the day’s fun on the links. The combination of gorgeous weather, fun people, and the homespun hosting of the quality crew at Useless Bay Country Club made for an incredible day and evening. While it would be inappropriate for me to tell you the names of the heavy hitters who helped raise thousands of dollars, I can say bidder numbers 202 and 213 need to contact me so I can give you the ferry passes I promised you for this weekend’s Seahawks game against Jacksonville. Thanks also to the inexhaustible energy team of Chet Ross, Lyn Gaustad, Angela Vosburg, Gretchen Mills, Virginia Bloom, Chris Michalopoulos, Louis Muniz, Ryan Porter, Tara Long, and Kim Winjum for coordinating another superb and fun, fundraising effort. As Grandpa used to say, “The good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we’ll see you again next year.”
A Night with a Legend Thanks much to Katrina MacGregor of Tartan Talent, located right here on Whidbey Island, for bringing the legendary Jimmie Rodgers to Coupeville last Thursday night for a magical, musical memory tour. The smiles on the faces of folks seated about the Coupeville Performing Arts Center were as wide as Deception Pass Bridge is narrow. I think that last sentence makes more sense if you work with it awhile. Jimmie Rodgers, who turns 80 years young the 18th of September, has worked in, through, for and by just about anything and everything during his rise to stardom. Growing up in Camas, Washington during the Depression years of the 30s’ and the war years of the 40s‘, it is hard to imagine a young boy with that background having so much joy in his heart and in his singing voice. Check out his web site at www.jimmie-rodgers. com to learn more. In fact, do yourself a favor and buy Jimmie’s autobiography Dancing on the Moon. Like many of you wonderful readers, Mr. Rodgers’ story is one of trials, tribulations, talents and treasures. Jimmie’s self-penned 2010 bio reveals many
great stories that will captivate any fan of music and the musical history of the 50s’ and 60s’. Did I tell you that Mr. Rodgers was nice enough to autograph my first ever box of Post Honeycomb cereal? Who cares if I prefer Cheerios? The Lone Ranger was not singing in Coupeville last week.
Willow Weep for Me When I first heard Chad and Jeremy sing in the 60s’, I thought the Everly Brothers might have met their harmonious match. Little did I know almost 50 years later, the lyrics to “Willow Weep for Me” would come to life, and death, right here in my Freeland driveway. Thanks much to Scott, Lance, Miles and Brian of the Island County Road Shop, the Fire District #3 Fire Department, Whidbey Tel, and a host of others who stopped by with chainsaws, orange traffic cones, and caffeine-infused refreshments while our neighborhood cleaned up the mess of a downed 100-year-old willow tree. For you song-buffs, I checked on Wikipedia to discover that “Willow Weep for Me” was a popular song composed back in 1932 by Ann Ronell, who also wrote the lyrics. “The song form is AABA and it is written in 4/4 time. It is mostly known as a jazz standard, having been recorded first by Ted Fio Rito (with vocal by Muzzy Marcellino) in October 1932, and by Paul Whiteman (with vocal by Irene Taylor), the following month. Both were hits in December 1932. One account of the inspiration for the song is that, during her time at Radcliffe College, Ronell ‘had been struck by the loveliness of the willow trees on campus, and this simple observation became the subject of an intricate song’. ‘Willow weep for me, willow weep for me, bend your branches green, along the stream that runs to sea; Listen to my plea, listen willow, and weep for me.’ The song was not initially accepted by publishers, for several reasons. First, the song is dedicated to George Gershwin; a dedication to another writer was disapproved of at the time, so the first person presented with the song for publication, Saul Bornstein, passed it to Irving Berlin, who chose to accept it. Other reasons stated for its slow acceptance are that it was written by a woman and its construction was unusually complex for a composition that was targeted at a commercial audience (i.e. radio broadcast, record sales and sheet music sales). An implied tempo change in the fifth bar, a result of a switch from the two quavers and a quaver triplet opening in each of the first four bars to just four quavers opening the fifth, then back to two quavers and a quaver triplet opening the sixth bar, which then has a more offset longer note than any of the previous bars, was one cause of Bornstein’s concern. Notable recordings continued from the early 1950s, following the success of Stan Kenton’s 1950 release (with vocal by June Christy) of the song.” How was that for too much information? What is a quaver and where can we buy a case?
To Cell or Not to Cell After three years of trying, I finally have decided that having a cell phone is as unnecessary for me as being on Facebook. While I was on Facebook, at the insistence of my niece Tama, I was the only friend I had in my circle of friends. In fact, my circle of friends was so small, it was a straight line. I checked the call history on my cell phone. The last ten missed calls were from me. I might have wanted to talk to myself, but I was really just calling my cell phone to find out where it was. The text feature on my cell has backfired as well. When our daughter Crystal sends a text to me, she will count to ten and then call right away to find out why my return text is taking so long. Have you learned how to type with thumbs? I thought God gave us thumbs to suck when kids and to use for hitchhiking as teenagers. Gotta go. Either my cell phone is vibrating or my right leg has started to spasm. News at 11.

I drive by WAIF Thrift Shop on Midway Blvd., and see a truck from Oak Harbor Sign Company and Jeff Rossi in a bucket inching closer to get to the awning sign. I notice a woman backing out of the straight-in parking slips. She doesn’t see the traffic cones set nearby her car and knocks one over. It rolls into the road and stops. She pulls out all the way and leaves. I, meanwhile, hit the cone which became wedged under my front bumper. Great! How am I going to get that thing from under my car? Just about a long city block from the WAIF Thrift Shop is the office of Whidbey Weekly. I kept going, avoiding other cars. Publisher Eric Marshall interrupted his meeting and reported to the parking lot. “Please help me,” I said, sounding very much like the science project fly in the scary movie of the same name, “The Fly.” Eric is surprised to remove the cone so easily and I set it in the hatchback of my car – time to return to the scene of the coning. In a matter of minutes from start to finish, Rossi gently wiped some oil from the cone, now badly scuffed up. He said he knew I could not have avoided hitting it and thanked me for bringing it back. I learned a little more about him and his father Lee, a sign maker since 1959. His grandfather began making signs in California in 1930. The family business of today has been serving Whidbey Island customers since 1994. How’s business? “We do 85 percent of the sign making in Oak Harbor,” Rossi said,”and that includes the recent music festival signs, political signs and even “Jets = Jobs.” Dad Lee and son Jeff both enjoy the work and I was surprised to see such sincere gratitude from a man who lost a DayGlo cone and got it back. They cost money, after all, and Jeff has to support a $200,000 printer at the shop. Their biggest local sign? Zorba’s Restaurant, at 6 ft. x 20 ft. The smallest are numerals used as house numbers. Surveying the scene from inside his bucket, cleaning and repairing the awning sign at WAIF Thrift Shop, Jeff muses that his two daughters (8 and 10) are becoming familiar with the business which one day will be theirs if they so choose. Maybe they’ll need a part-timer to keep track of the DayGlo cones. Visit Oak Harbor Signs at www.ohsigns.com on the web, or e-mail oakharborsign@gmail. com. Call (360) 675-3918. The Year of Vern First, it was Wallie Funk. Then Helen ChatfieldWeeks. Who is waiting in the wings this year? On October 19, an evening of praise and platitudes shines the hot light of celebrity on Vern Olsen, special guest of honor at the Oak Harbor Elks and star of the annual autumn auction to support the work of the Island County Historical Society. The event runs from 6-9 PM. Olsen will be joined by his wife Martha and a league of supporters in saluting 20 years of the Shifty Sailors. How many of you knew the “Shiftys” came together in 1993 to help launch the ICHS exhibit and book “Sails, Steamships and Sea Captains”? As if they needed a reason to celebrate, auction paddles and a table can be reserved in your name by calling (360) 678-3310 or stopping by the Museum at 908 NW Alexander in Coupeville. Tickets, for $60
each, include a great dinner and a beverage ticket. Auction items cover goodies to delight every age and remember, all proceeds benefit the programs and operations of your ICHS Museum. Director Rick Castellano likes to describe our historical society as a jewel in the crown that is Whidbey Island. I encourage you to support Island County History for the sake of those now living and those yet to be born. If that sounds far-fetched, consider the pioneers who were here with the Native Americans and the importance of the history they preserved because they knew it would be important to us, in 2013 and beyond. I myself have made a commitment to volunteer a number of hours each month. I couldn’t just stand there, hands in my pockets, and do nothing. This fine institution, more valuable than anything wrapped in ribbons and fancy paper, is a living gift from our ancestors. Just think. Someday, people will read about the need for volunteers at the Island County Historical Society. I want my name to be among those who came forward. Let’s all make a difference. Twosome finds RV heaven Just about every year after Labor Day, Pat and Sally McKinney hook up their air conditioned RV and head east. But this time it was different. Credit goes to their choice of RV parks and the Wenatchee County Park they call “an excellent facility.” In the past they haven’t stayed near the city center. This time, it was a five-minute walk or quick drive. And they offer so much more. Sally said, “It’s a tree-filled, nice facility with a lot of amenities you appreciate when you travel, such as exercise equipment and TV, rental DVDs to watch in your RV or in the rec room, bathing and shower facility, park-wide WiFi, propane fill-ups, $30 covers water, electric and sewer hookups and there is a clean-out station in the park.” Having capable, informed managers helps a lot, too. They said managers Mike and Mary Lee made their stay successful. The facility is open from April 1 to Oct. 31. They were actually in Monitor, WA, about 10 minutes from Cashmere. Cashmere made all the difference this time out and they had no trouble staying a full eight days. “It’s home to the largest antique stores on the West Coast,” Apple Annie’s with almost three acres of knick-knacks, furniture and good stuff. Sally said one could actually furnish an early Victorian house without a problem. I’m sure she thought “This must be heaven.” Sally is a garage sale diva with a sharp eye who can tell the real deal from a fake at 10 paces. “I got each of us a Look magazine for the month and year we were born, gold edged salt and pepper shakers, a cast-iron Dutch oven with lid and several long hat pins.” She already has a collection of vintage hats. They were 15 miles from Leavenworth and met the locals at the 59er Diner; a walk back to the 50’s and 60’s, with Formica top tables, a real 50’s kitchen, attached to Apple Annie’s. Everyone was friendly and in good spirits. Sally recommends looking up the Wenatchee County Park Facebook page. There’s so much to see. Be bored at home, but on the road, go where there is so much to see you can hardly take it all in. That, say the McKinneys, made all the difference this year. How about it? Why don’t you write to me at stilltalking2009@yahoo.com and share your summer adventure story? Thanks, Russells and McKinneys. Next?
