Farm Management Group, a private entity, not elected by taxpayers. They receive all the revenues from the Farm’s operation, negotiate the leases and pay some of the expenses. Yet the Port receives almost NO money from the operation of the Farm!”

We truly appreciate all those involved for their support of United Way of Island County and this community event.

Letters To The Editor Editor, Thanks to the many donors and attendees that made our Instant Wine Cellar event, held on September 20, 2013, a huge success. The event raised $9,528 through admission, raffle tickets and a generous matching gift from the Island Thrift Board of Directors.

The community overwhelmed us with their generosity for the event. We were able to get all the wine and beer for the “Instant Wine Cellar” and “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” raffle donated by United Way Board Members, Flyers Restaurant and Brewery, Whidbey Beer Works, Bayleaf, and a few generous supporters of United Way. A Wine Refrigerator was donated by Mark Brown and Kathi Phillips and three Wine Tours for Eight were donated by Spoiled Dog Winery, Holmes Harbor, and Whidbey Island Winery. Seven restaurants participated as our “BITES”. They were Cameron’s Café, Elk’s Lodge, Fraser’s, Flyers Restaurant and Brewery, Louie-G’s, Whidbey General Hospital, and Yummies’ Eat and Treats. Our “SIPS” donated their wine and beer. They were Flyers Restaurant and Brewery, Greenbank Cellars, Holmes Harbor Cellars, and the Terrace Wine Bar and Bistro. The band MoJo Filter played for the dancing pleasure of our guests and was sponsored by Whidbey Island Bank.

We had the honor of having many “Celebrity Servers”. They were: Mark Brown-Island County Sheriff, Linda Gipson-Whidbey General Hospital Chief Nursing Officer, Jackie Henderson-Island County Human Services Director & Coupeville Town Council, Jill Johnson-PfeifferIsland County Commissioner, Jeff McMahanWal Mart Manager, Joe Mosolino-Windermere Real Estate Freeland, Kathi Phillips-RE/Max Acorn Properties, Joel Servatius-Oak Harbor City Council, Jim Slowik-Navy League President and People’s Bank, and Tom Tomasino-Whidbey General Hospital CEO. Stephanie Smith, Wells Fargo Bank, added her humor as our “Mistress of Ceremony”. Wonderful background music during the first hour of the event was provided

by Lowell Sipes-North Whidbey Middle School.

Much planning went into the event and could not have happened without Jim Cloore, Michelle Curry, Michele McKenna, Bill Weinsheimer, Kathi Phillips, and the United Way of Island County Board of Directors. The event was such a success as a friend and fund raiser that we are already planning for next year!

Dick Bowen Running for Port of Coupeville Commissioner, Dist. 3 Dick Bowen of Coupeville is seeking election as Port of Coupeville Commissioner, District 3.

Bowen and his wife Kathy moved from Bainbridge Island to Coupeville in 1996. He served Bainbridge as a Councilman from 1988 through 1991. Upon his departure, the City passed a Resolution honoring his exemplary service.

Dick’s personal message to voters is clear: “Voting for a Port Commissioner is very important. Many people don’t understand ‘what they do,’ but it has a direct impact on your wallet.

Port Districts are independent taxing authorities with no higher governmental oversight. They only answer to you, the taxpayers. Unfortunately, with little or no taxpayer input, the three Commissioners often meet and make financial decisions with little knowledge or consent of the taxpayers. This needs to change. The Port should take responsibility for managing assets that taxpayers have entrusted to them.”

The Port owns two major assets, the Coupeville Wharf and the Greenbank Farm. “They do a fine job of managing the Wharf, receiving revenues and paying expenses,” Bowen said, “but the Farm is under the control of the Greenbank

The Greenbank Farm Management Group, or a similar group, should act in only an advisory capacity. Major decisions involved in operating the farm should be made by the Port Commissioners.”

Dick adds, “I am appearing in several local forums and look forward to meeting you. If you’d like to discuss any of the issues, call me at (360)678-1167. And, please vote for me, Dick Bowen, for Coupeville Port Commissioner, District 3.”

Bowen is retired, has a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering and an MBA in Finance from Cornell University. He has an outstanding record in management in large corporations, including John Deere, Ford Motor Company, Boeing, Lear-Siegler, Fenwick Products, and SeattleFirst National Bank. Dick has owned his own company since 1979.

OHHS Shipmates-of-the-Month Oak Harbor High School’s 9th grade transition program is called the Island Program. Each island is comprised of an English teacher, a math teacher and a science teacher. They share a total of 90 students who rotate together in classes of thirty for three periods each day. The vision of the Island Program is to have all 9th grade students ready for 10th grade and on track to a 4-year graduation.

A student recognition program, called the Shipmates-of-the-Month, recognizes one student per month based on demonstrable gains in the areas of academic or behavioral growth, community contribution(s), and/or acts of altruism. The following students have earned this recognition:

Castle Island - Evan Ehlert: Evan has been doing quality work, both individually and working as part of a group. He is a positive addition to our classes. Evan pays close attention to detail when completing his assignments and does an excellent job following directions. He is willing to answer and ask the difficult questions.

Battleship Island - Jacob Paul: When you enter Oak Harbor High School as a freshman the world becomes a little overwhelming. Jacob Paul has started the year out well on Battleship Island. Jacob is impressively focused, intensely delightful, and willing and skilled at working with others. Furthermore, Jacob has demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile to take advantage of the redo policy and come in after school. We, Battleship Island teachers and support staff, are excited to have Jacob as part of our team!

As well as hosting monthly guest speakers, SWRW also sponsored a July Whidbey Naval Island Air Station tour organized by Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson. The tour was open to the public. SWRW also shared a booth with the Republicans of Island County in August at the Whidbey Island Area Fair.

Skull Island - Zack Aketch: Zack is a bright, polite, and hardworking young man who contributes to class every day. He is a deep thinker who has great ideas and helps other students. Zack considers material carefully. His strong critical thinking skills show in his work and interaction with others.

If you would like more information about SWRW or would like a membership brochure sent to you, please call President Janet Backe at (360)579-3614.

She has done this by asking clarifying questions and by working hard to complete and understand her work.

Justice Island - JJ Mitchell: JJ is a pleasure to have in class. Among many of his positive academic attributes, he’s always smiling, attentive and polite. He has already proven great ability to both help other students and work diligently independently. In English, he has proven dedication to writing excellence, homework reliability, and small group leadership. He is such a positive influence to the classroom environment that all of JJ’s core teachers look forward to the successes he will achieve the rest of this school year.

OCTOBER 21 • 6:00PM MUSICAL GUEST Classical & Spanish Guitarist MARTY MALLOY SPONSORED BY WHIDBEY WEEKLY GENE KELLY BARNER-EDWARD JONES BEST FRIEND’S VETERINARY CLINIC ISLAND DRUG

Yellow leaves are squashed under your wiper blades and purple and gold streamers are everywhere you look. Pom-poms are shaking, school bands play their rahrah fight songs and cheerleaders have their pick of adoring young men. How else would you know that homecoming is here?

Homecoming for Coupeville and Oak Harbor High Schools features the big games next Friday night and dances Saturday.

I have fond memories of attending the fine institution on the western edge of Chicago named Proviso Township High School, designed by the architectural firm of Perkins and Will. If allowed to do so, one could spend time enjoying the well-kept grounds and architecture’s yellow bricks reminiscent of a softly fading sunset. I was usually one of a party of five.

Girlfriends then didn’t know the term “Sistas,” but that’s what we were.

I went to school and then went straight home.

There was precious little time for extra-curricular activities when one had to care for uncle Ray’s four children, doing laundry and lots of cleaning. I wasn’t happy there, but I had nowhere else to go when my mother died.

Then one morning while waiting for the city bus to take me to school, I met Judy Stewart.

Same age. Same grade. Life as I knew it was about to change.

years and afterward go to Flyers, owned by OHHS alumni Jason Tritt (1987).”

She keeps in touch with alumni through Facebook, a handy tool in planning mini reunions and big class reunions.

“As a matter of fact, Debbie, Laura and I, plus many others, are currently planning our 30-year high school reunion for July 2014,” Besaw said.

These friends are unique in that they remained where they spent their high school days, and where their kids will one day have the homecoming experience.

So, go, Wildcats! And go, Wolves! Here’s to a memorable bonfire and memories to keep you warm for years to come.

Par le vouz Francais?

If it’s any consolation, it’s also raining in Paris.

The seasons soften the mood a bit as coats come out of closets and corner tables near the fireplace are most sought after. The outdoor cafe is empty as colder weather drives patrons indoors. The same thing happens here in Oak Harbor.

Clare Christiansen is one of an informal group who get together every Friday morning at 9AM at Angelo’s Caffe on old Pioneer Way for coffee and French conversation.

“The group has been in existence for years,” she said, “and it changes over time with people moving in and out. Right now, we have a couple of native French speakers. The rest of the group varies from those who are completely fluent to those like me, who have studied the language for years but still struggle to understand it and speak it beyond the intermediate level.”

You’re In The Game...with Sound Sports Net!

To this day I think of Judy as life support. She refills my oxygen tank with a simple phone call from her Arizona home. Somewhere between the affirmations and the laughter, the reminders of how great it was “before the revolution,” I am young again and nothing can pull me down.

Judy was musical. A pianist and singer. I, well, I mostly listened. She dragged me with her to tryouts for school assemblies and while I sat waiting for her to audition for the chorale in “Kismet,” I was asked if I danced. You do?

With feeling, I gave my best modern dance moves as the phonograph played “Baubles, Bangles and Beads.” Next thing you know, I was on stage in harem pants while my little cousins waited for me at home. The experience showed me I could have time to pursue my own interests if I showed my guardian everything else got done.

Fleeting and fickle. That’s fame for you. It was more fun than work, or was it more work than fun? Ask two former Proviso students, Dennis Franz of Hill Street Blues and singer/actress Carol Lawrence, “Maria” as part of the original West Side Story cast. And I cannot forget big, bad Ed O’Bradovich who stayed with Da Bears his entire career as an NFL defensive end.

Of course, we are all grown up now (most of us) and I am fortunate to work with three of Oak Harbor High School’s most devoted alumni: Teresa “TJ” (Jones) Pierzchala, Class of 1983; Eric Marshall, Class of 1992; and Teresa (Michel) Besaw, Class of 1984.

They have vivid homecoming memories of snake dances through town, bonfires, hootenanny, the big game and the dance.

“Back in the day for TJ and me, we had a lot of school spirit,” said Besaw. “Our classes would battle it out for that award each year.”

(Besaw’s class won twice, TJ’s, once.)

Each year, the class holding its 25-year reunion is invited back to the school for their time capsule, a tour and to attend the homecoming game.

It’s a tradition for TJ, Laura (Jeffries) Ulam (Class of 1984), Robin (Johnson) Stanek (1982); Debbie (Cullen) Peterson (1984); David Peterson (1987) and Besaw to attend the homecoming game together. “We wear our alumni sweatshirts and rekindle our school spirit,” Besaw said. “We sit with alumni from various

Some weeks there may be just two or three people, and others as many as eight or 10.

There is no format or formality. Anyone may bring up any subject he’d like to discuss and the topics range from American politics to old music.

Christiansen said a complete beginner would be lost in the group as they tend not to speak any English at all.

“The others are very patient with someone like me and if I ask them something, they will repeat a word or phrase slowly,” she added.

“If I did that every couple of minutes, however, I feel they would soon get bored with me and I’d begin to feel unwelcome.

Christiansen studied French in high school and spent a summer at the University of Lausanne about 45 years ago but has visited France many times.

“I have taken two or three short courses in Paris, but I’m still not fluent,” she sighed.

“I think I’m hopeless, but I keep trying!”

Next year she will go to France with another member of the group and take a three-week immersion course.

“Last summer, we asked someone at the next table in Angelo’s if we could borrow a chair.

It turned out they were from French-speaking Canada,” she said. Who knows where you will bump into a Frenchman next.

“Anyone who speaks French or would like to improve his or her French conversation is invited to join us on Friday mornings,” she added. Merci, Clare!

By my count, it’s 77 days until Christmas. I am fortunate to have a roof over my head and soup in the cupboard, but some of our friends who are federal employees will have a hard time feeling festive. The government shutdown will hit them hard and they will not be paid at all or have to wait weeks for back pay. Why not think of them when buying books, toys and games for your family and pick up an ageappropriate item or two for their children? The kids don’t have to know where the presents came from and isn’t that the best part of giving?

chicken liTTle and The asTrOlOGer

By Wesley Hallock

Astrologer’s Note: You are never too old to dream. Case in point is Dreaming, a regular writer (of hand-printed letters delivered via snail mail) who turns 79 today. Her latest appears below. Happy birthday, dear one!!!

Dear Astrologer You answered my question about going to Arizona [for the winter--my answer was, not likely]. What about at this Christmas time for a vacation?

I want to know more about this man I have been seeing. Is he going to stay in my life and does he want to be more than just a close friend? Or are we going to part? When do you see me quitting work? October 10, 1934, at 12:41 AM in Seattle, Washington Dreaming for a Partner (PS I read your column every week.)

Dear Dreaming Your planets show you have a track record of being attracted to men who disappoint you. Things start out OK, but as you get closer and reach the bonding point, the time at which you must agree on goals to work toward together, things fall apart and you wind up disappointed again. Am I right? This is because of your own distrust in the journey that is life, and it sounds like you are at that point now.

The man you have been seeing is already delivering the best that he can for you. If you want more from him, there is something you must do. If you make a daily practice of seeing the inner perfection that exists within all life, you will eventually discover you are radiating that same perfection. This feels very good, and is its own reward, but you will find something else. You will discover that your man, in turn, is responding in kind. You will have become the couple that you hold in your dream.

On to Arizona—do I see you there in time for Christmas? You can get there, but the planets put the expense of the trip onto the spouse you don’t have. Darn. That probably means another Christmas in the good old Northwest.

About work—some people never retire, nor should they. Work is useful for them and they are happier than if not working. You are one of those. You may retire when you wish, but I see no reason you can’t work into at least November of 2015.

Now, thank you for writing, and go enjoy your cake and ice cream.

Dear Astrologer I just found my old BUNS OF STEEL poster from my college years. The picture—a toosh to die for! That was my inspiration to stagger out of bed early each morning to face my Stairmaster. Alas, the buns never happened for me. My pancake patootie remained pancakes. I’m older now. My pancakes have become cream-filled blintzes. Hooray. And in case you’re wondering, I’m perfectly proportioned. Meaning, I got nothing up top.

Now, with the rain streaking down my window panes, and the gray streaking my hair, I’m hoping there’s something good to say about me in my astrology. Wow me.

Please. November 19, 1968, at 7:10 AM in Tampa, Florida Feeling Flat Dear Feeling Flat Like most of us, you’re singing the Saturn-inScorpio blues. Old man Saturn is breathing

Your planets say you have a phenomenal talent for crisis management. You are beyond superb at clearly recognizing the problem, devising a solution, and taking the needed action to solve it. Want proof? You were depressed (the problem) you saw a cheerful solution (write that wacky astrologer) and you acted (thank you very much!)

Reinforcing your great talent as a fixer, you have the strength to endure as long as it takes to see results. My proof? Who else in their depression would wait a week or two to be cheered up? It’s you who wows me.

Dear Astrologer I have been practicing Transcendental Meditation for 38 years. I‘ve become quite intuitive, and lately I’ve been getting ‘vibes’ to invent a couple of things. Next year, my partner and I plan to travel around the U.S. in our motor home for a couple years. With some contact work, I can sell my invention ‘on the road’ quite easily. I would give talks about it at genealogy conventions and then sell it afterwards.

Is this fall a good time to produce my invention and try to sell it or would next year be better? Will I be OK having a business and handling the money aspect?

Thank you very much! I so enjoy reading your column and am glad you have joined the newspaper! June 19, 1948, at 4:27 PM in Snohomish, Washington Chomping at the Bit Dear Chomping Begin now and build your business slowly and methodically. Your solar return charts show your knowledge about your undertaking to be weak this year, and much improved in the years following your next two birthdays. As an entrepreneur, your mind is your greatest asset; and education, your best investment.

The Rahu planetary period, in which we learn by doing, is active in your seventh house of spouse, travel and business until 2028, so you have lots of time.

Ketu in your first house shows you are selfsufficient by nature. The karmic need is to develop your inter-personal abilities through Rahu, and your plan sounds perfect for that.

Rahu is the element by which we feel our way into the unknown, implying that your venture will involve much trial and error. That’s normal and expected.

You will be fine with the money end of the business, provided you don’t try to go it alone.

Professional help in setting up a basic accounting system will save you loads of worry. You are asking all the right questions, which is the best indication that you will succeed.

Dear Astrologer I’m in my Saturn period. Does Saturn dance anything but the Watusi? I’m more of a Roy Orbison girl.

Love the Falsetto Dear Love the Falsetto You’re in luck. Orbison’s “Only the Lonely” is a favorite Saturn theme song. Saturn’s favorite beat is actually “The Monster Mash,” but he also rocks out to “The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald,” “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha!” and Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, popularly known as “The Funeral March.” So take your pick. In the nineteen years that is the Saturn period of life, you’ll eventually dance to all. Cheerio!

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.

On Track with Jim Freeman

A duck walks into a bar and asks, “Got any grapes?” The bartender, confused, tells the duck no. The duck thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns and asks, “Got any grapes?” Again, the bartender tells him, “No – the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes and, furthermore, will never serve grapes.”

The duck thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender yells, “Listen, duck!

This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!”

The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, “Got any nails?”

Confused, the bartender says no.

“Good!” says the duck. “Got any grapes?”

Thanks to WW reader Wayne Flatten for sharing his Greenbank wit with us.

Word Game Which four letter words end in ork, and which one of these four letter words is pronounced differently than all of the others?

Talk amongst yourselves while we go through the alphabet.

Cork, dork, fork, Mork, pork, york and work.

The Ides of October Most everyone who has read or listened to the reading of Shakespeare knows March 15 is the Ides of March. Thanks to Barton Cole, The Crowit Laureat of Whidbey Island, for pointing out on his unique web site, www.geniusweirdo.org, that the Ides only falls on the 15th of the month one-third of the time.

According to Mr. Cole, “The Ides was one of three dates each month by which the Roman calendar was calculated. The Kalends always falls on the first of the month. The Nones falls on the fifth of the month, except in March, July, October, and May when the Nones falls on the 7th day. The Ides falls eight days after the Nones, on the 15th of March, May, July and October.”

It was during explanations such as these that most of us high school kids fell asleep during Shakespeare, or at least started eating our lunch.

The Some Men Are A Better Man Seminar Last week, I began taking a community class on how to be a better man. Having been the best man at several marriages which ended in divorce, I felt the opportunity to learn how to become a better man might be of worth.

Our first class included instruction on how to use a splitting maul. We were encouraged by the professor to bring in our mauls for analysis. It was not unlike an episode of Antiques Roadshow with a bunch of guys in plaid shirts.

Apparently, my maul was the correct weight for me to lift, but, I found out later from one of the guys at our break, that I have been using a woman’s training maul. The mauls the other fellows brought in were either too big for me to swing or, in one case, too heavy to lift.

It was a bit uncomfortable for me when I noticed the other guys chuckling near the water cooler.

One guy said something about using a woman’s maul being worse than driving off of the ladies’ tee at a golf course.

Next week, when I get my Social Security check, I’m dropping the class and buying a splitter.

Great Unused Sentences Earlier today I found a file marked Sentences Yet To Be Used. It seems logical to me that the great writers would have sentences they thought of using, but never did use.

Like the unwritten collection of The Unused Poems of Emily Dickinson. What a classic it was not.

Here is one of my favorite unused sentences, for a possible short story or maybe for use in a Christmas card to an old friend.

Disgusted by the extremeness of his possessions, Bob bought a dump truck and filled it with new stuff.

Other unused sentences were found last week on the floor of an abandoned Congress.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Cursers Countdown According to recent research outsourced to a company called Marchex, Washingtonians are the lowest users of profanity in the country, cursing once every 301 telephone calls.

Other cursing statistics include once in every 257 calls for residents of Maine, one in 228 calls for Arizonians, one in 227 calls for Texans, one in 172 calls for Illinoisans, one in 157 calls for New Jerseyians, and the highest rated cursers, the Buckeyes of Ohio, coming in as cursers in one of every 147 phone calls.

You know what I think?

That whole study is a bunch of %^&*!

Fouled Off When I was living in San Diego in the 70s’, much of our summertime amusement was garnered by listening to former New York Yankee infielder Jerry Coleman announce San Diego Padre baseball games on the radio.

Colemanisms became archived by those of us with dual cassette players. In honor of the playoffs and the World Series, some of Jerry’s classics follow: “Here’s the first pitch, down the middle, ball one.”

“Next up is Fernando Gonzalez, who is not playing tonight.”

“Jesus Alou is in the on-deck circus.”

“Whenever you get an inflamed tendon, you’ve got problems. OK, here’s the next pitch to Gene Tendon.”

“There’s someone warming up in the bullpen but he’s obscured by his number.”

“D’Aquisto has a blister on the index hand of his pitching finger.”

“We now pause ten stations for a minute identification.”

“From the way Denny is shaking his head, he’s either got an injured shoulder or a gnat in his eye.”

“He slides into second with a stand-up double.”

“So, the Padres take a three-game series from the Giants, three games to two.”

“And Kansas City is in Chicago tonight, or is that Chicago at Kansas City? Well, no matter, Kansas City leads in the eighth, 4-4.”

Phone Booth Facts The first public pay phone was developed in 1889

by William Gray, also the inventor of the first inflatable baseball chest protector.

The first phone booths that were installed in U.S. National Parks were frequently destroyed by amorous moose who mistook their reflection in the glass for another moose.

The first “drive-up” pay phone was tested in Mobile, Alabama, in 1957.

Best Voice Mail of the Month Thanks to Kenneth Gunther of Clinton for his fun phone call message he left me upon his return from another adventure in Mazatlan.

This gem was part of his message–I would rather fish than mow.

I bring up Ken’s preference because last month I put our mower up for the winter.

Then, yesterday I got the mower back out for our two day return to Fall.

Maybe I should just leave the Honda idling through October?

Ponderings on the Ponderosa My hearing is getting to the point that I am considering developing big print, audio books, on tape and CD. I am not sure yet how this will play out, but I know I am on to something unique.

Submitted by The Fishin’ Club, written by William Haroldson

History of the Resorts, Salmon, and Fishing Derbies of South Whidbey Island The South Whidbey Historical Society has released its newest book on local history “The Resorts of South Whidbey Island.” This is the story of those who experienced the middle years of the twentieth century. Fishing resorts provided an economical getaway for families. People came for the beauty of Whidbey Island. Salmon were plentiful. It was an escape from the humdrum of everyday life.

Several years ago, Warren Farmer told the story of growing up on Bush Point at the family resort. Many of the people listening were amazed to know that salmon fishing was that good. It was then that the South Whidbey Historical Society decided to research and tell the story of the “Resorts of South Whidbey Island.” Bill Haroldson, the author, grew up in Seattle and spent much of his leisure time on Whidbey Island.

He learned to fish at a very young age and understood this part of Whidbey history.

The process of gathering the stories and pictures began. Many family members of the resort owners are still on the island and provided much of the content. These include Don Allen, Barbara Chase, Jim Cooper, Don Goodfellow, Betty Robinson Maddeford, and Pete Thelen Jr. Several presentations were made to various audiences. After each presentation more material was added by individuals who either worked or were customers at the resorts.

When the automobile became popular to own in the 1920’s, people traveled more.

With the automobile came a need for car ferry service and more roads on the island.

City people from Seattle discovered the natural beauty of Whidbey Island.

Salmon traps were outlawed in the early 1930’s, and some of the local islanders saw an economic opportunity in these visitors.

Thus, the resort industry was started on South Whidbey. They began building snug little one room cabins with a wood stove and maybe running water and electricity. People came with their sleeping bags and 25 lbs of ice for the ice box. They came for a weekend or even a week. What was the main drawing card to these primitive resorts? They came to fish for salmon.

Salmon were abundant and all you needed was an outboard motor and fishing tackle.

You could rent a sturdy 16 foot boat and fish close to the resort. During the 1930’s, the depression years, many individuals had little to spend on a weekend. They came to fish and much of it was a form of subsistence, fishing to feed their families. As an added attraction, the resort owners started having fishing derbies to see who could catch the largest fish. Prizes including money, boats and motors attracted additional fishermen.

Following World War II, the resorts flourished as veterans returned and sought family getaways that would not break the pocketbook. During the 1950’s people began to buy their own boats and even bought land on Whidbey for their own cabins. From the late 1960’s to the present, salmon fishing declined and more regulations were placed on the sport fisherman, which meant an end to the fishing resort. Many of the resort owners began selling their property to former customers, and today the resorts are gone.

After several generations, the descendants of those early resort goers still come to the island. They talk about their grandparents who first brought them to the island and now they are bringing their grandchildren.

The beauty and serenity of Whidbey remains today. Gone are the primitive cabins where you brought your own sleeping bag and a block of ice for an ice box. No more is the boathouse with the clacking rail car to launch and retrieve rental boats. With salmon fishing greatly reduced, it is left to the old timers to tell stories of the big fish of years ago.

FISHERMEN - BOATERS Good beer is available in cans.

We have a selection of premium, microbrews in cans. xää³Ê VÀ LÀiÜÃÊUÊ À Ü iÀÃÊv i`

Like Grandpa Freeman used to tell me when we went fishing, “Jimmy, see the need and fill it.”

Well, maybe if the words read on tape were larger, I could hear them better.

Poetry Slam returns to Anchor Books If you are in Clinton, next Wednesday, October 16, stop by Anchor Books and Coffee for a fun two hours of poetry slamming. We will be hosting the event from 6PM until 8PM. Cash prizes will be awarded to the victorious. Fun prizes will be awarded to the courageous. Call for details or directions at 360-331-2617.

Call and say “Home, James”

By Eileen Brown James Johnson, General Manager of the Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle and Charter Service, says because airlines have changed their schedules to include more flight choices at 6 AM, starting Nov. 3, their Early Bird run will arrive at SeaTac International Airport at 4:30AM instead of 5AM. This means you need to be at your pick-up point a little earlier.

Also, to cover the coming holiday season, Johnson was pleased to announce a Non Stop Express from Oak Harbor to SeaTac. Departure time from Oak Harbor is 9:15AM arriving at SeaTac at 11:05AM. This will be in effect from Nov. 18 through Jan. 5, but not on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve. The return express leaves SeaTac at 1:45PM and arrives at 7-11 Oak Harbor at 3:35PM. No time to waste? This is made for you.

“We are coming up on our Tenth Year Anniversary on Dec. 17,” said Johnson. At their inception, they had only two nine-passenger vans making four trips a day to SeaTac. “We move more people in one day than we did the first month,” he continued, proud of the number of motor vehicles their service removes from the roads each day. Recipients of Whidbey Green, a government agency that promotes and rewards lowering CO2 footprints, Johnson said each person generates 19 pounds of CO2 per person riding the shuttle. A normal car generates 190 pounds of CO2.

Johnson says SeaTac runs are never boring and he should know. An employee of eight years, he has made countless SeaTac runs himself. “You meet so many interesting people,” Johnson said.

“We take an average of 75 cars off the road each day to the airport, and we consistently work to improve on the Whidbey Green standards”.

“We are glad to see on the charter side that weddings are up, with wedding parties giving our shuttle increased use,” he said. “Looks like Whidbey is becoming a premier wedding destination.”

Wintry weather is on its way and Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle wants to keep an eye on you.

Johnson recommends booking with your airline first and then calling Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle to book your reservation.

By having Dispatch constantly checking road conditions, if they see a problem on I-5, they will divert the shuttle to an open road away from the gridlock. And if you should be on the ground in Chicago’s O’Hare where your flight is delayed, the dispatcher will call and move you to the next avaible shuttle. All 10 shuttles leave SeaTac at 45 minutes past the hour.

“Christmas shoppers like to take the regular shuttle to the airport, take a five minute taxi ride to South Center Mall for shopping and get back to the airport in time to take the shuttle home,” Johnson said. If you can’t find what you want here in town, try South Center until it’s time for the quiet ride home.
