Chicken Little And the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

Dear Astrologer, I am a caregiver to my mom. I dearly love her, but I also get frustrated way too much with her. Is it just me? Or is it a combination of us together? I am good with this; it is the best for both of us that she is not alone in her home anymore. And she is very thankful of both my hubby and I. And I of her! What can I do to stop feeling so frustrated? Born May 19, 1949 at 10:30 AM in Seattle, Washington

Grrrrr!

P.S. I love your column! Thanks for being here!

Dear Grrrrr!

You give us no clue regarding the form your frustration takes. (Ordinary people, talk amongst yourselves. Astrology buffs, aatmakaraka Saturn conjuncts Pluto in the first and opposes the Shatabisha Moon, squared by Mars as mother.

Think famous collisions. Think Titanic meets iceberg. Think the Hindenberg blimp in flames.

Discount Sales• 40,000 to 100,000 Warranty

Your frustration is no laughing matter. Caring for a family member erodes, and will eventually destroy, the best of preexisting relationships. The emotional and physical toll of being constantly on-call is high, so high that, in many cases, studies show the caregiver dies before the one needing care.

For these reasons and more, you urgently need to ensure that you have plenty of time away from the responsibility of your mother’s well-being. Get outside help, enlist other family members, resort to close friends if need be, but make sure you have ample time to recharge yourself in whatever way is best for you.

You and Mom have teamed up to advance each other’s karma. When you reconvene in the afterlife at your favorite cosmic night spot, you’ll have many happy tales to tell of these days.

Until then, when Mom gets your goat, think sit-com. Think laugh track. We humans are a comedy watched throughout the Universe.

Sunshine to you, dear.

Dear Astrologer, I hit a short lucky streak in a Las Vegas, Nevada, casino this summer, and I’m hoping you can tell me what happened so I can repeat it.

I was playing my favorite numbers in keno, while also feeding coins into a slot machine, because keno can be a little slow. The streak started when I pulled the lever and the old onearm bandit coughed up a four-figure jackpot. I almost forgot my keno card in the excitement, but I remembered in time to see I’d won big there, also, hitting six numbers out of eight in a game of 2-4-1-8, which paid me $180 on a $2 bet. And there the streak ended. I didn’t hit anything worth talking about the rest of the night.

Is there a way of timing my next lucky streak?

Born March 24, 1968 at 5:52 AM in Henderson, Nevada The Gambler Dear Gambler Predicting casino wins is theoretically possible, but very difficult in practice. The winning moments, as your story shows, are difficult to spot because they are so fleeting. The slower the game, therefore, the broader is your window of opportunity, so you are wise to favor keno.

Without knowing the time and date of the win, I can’t tell you much about what happened to trigger your winning streak. However, Uranus was certainly involved, since it has been transiting your rising degree on and off for a year. With Uranus, one can always expect the unexpected.

You do have a lucky aspect between Jupiter and Mars, on the same degree as your fifth house cusp, the house of luck. That is the root of your winning streak, I’ll wager.

Dear Astrologer, I’m a Baby Boomer, born in 1951, and I have to say, I’m not where I thought I would be, this late in my life. I grew up watching the Flintstones and the Jetsons and thinking my future would be something like the Jetsons. Now I feel America took the Flintstones path. I work two jobs to support myself and have less to show for it than my father, who, on his salary alone (he was middle management in a department store) supported our whole family of four, including vacations and a retirement fund.

I’m not alone in this. In my home state of Montana, the state has begun licensing people who scavenge road kills for the table. I’m not kidding.

I suppose you will tell me I have Saturn riding my wazoo, or something, but is there hope for me? I’m dreading the day I have to eat road kill.

Born February 12, 1951, at 4:39 PM in Billings, Montana Squeamish

Dear Astrologer, I know a little astrology, just enough to be dangerous. On that note, I think I’m the victim of a very expensive Uranus transit, involving my clumsy cat Boots, my out-of-warranty laptop Mr. Jeeves, and a cup of tea.

Dear Squeamish, Actually, it’s not Saturn on anything that’s got you down. It’s Pluto on your Saturn, forcing you to face your deepest fears. You’ve already shared one—sitting down to a steaming meal of road kill stew.

You see where this is going. Boots (aptly named) leaped onto the kitchen table, which upset the teacup, which spilled onto Mr. Jeeves, which so offended his inner workings that the he will no longer talk to me. (Word from the repairman is pending—I’m praying Mr. Jeeves isn’t a goner.)

Pluto is the agent of unstoppable change, so the more you cling to your fear, the more likely you are to face it in reality. Pluto is also a generational force, meaning all the Baby Boomers are now forced to face down some deep inner fear.

On the same day, the battery in my car died, permanently, R.I.P. That’s two major electrical incidents, whambam, back to back. As I said, I know enough astrology to know this is viewable. I’m dying to know—correction—I’m ELECTRIFIED to know your thoughts.

Twice Shorted Out Dear Shorted Out, You are correct. Uranus is the planet associated with electricity, as well as unpredictable accidents. High technology, meaning your computer, is associated with Rahu, north node of the Moon. Rahu’s degree in your birth chart is at the same degree as Uranus in the sky, at present. You may have a few more jolting incidents before this transit of Uranus ends for you. But they may not be all bad. Read on below.

I agree that, compared to where we could be, we are living an advanced Stone Age reality.

Our cars are smooth and fast, but they burn the same fuel as Henry Ford’s Model A. With the exception of computer technology, we’ve had lots of refinement and very little true advancement in our lives. If you want to take your mind off road kill, ask yourself why.

Brontosaurus burger, anyone?

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.

Letters to the Editor Editor, The Disabled American Veterans of Whidbey Island, Local Chapter 47, will be conducting its annual “Forget-Me- Not” drive in Oak Harbor on Saturday November 9 in honor of Veterans Day. The drive will be from 10:00am to 3:00pm at various local businesses throughout the community. The financial support we receive through the donations of our local population, both military and civilian, is vital to sustain the work of our local Chapter which operates as an all-volunteer organization. The first time the DAV members ever sold the little blue ForgetMe-Not flowers to the public was February 24, 1926. The drive was held to raise funds to support Disabled American Veteran services and provide assistance desperately needed by veterans disabled in World War I. Our mission has not wavered; our duty is to support veterans of all conflicts and wars. Locally, we help veterans who have served this country since World War II through the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every penny, 100% of your donation will go directly to our Transportation Program and the purchase of a new van which supports our local Veterans in their transportation needs to the Seattle VA hospital. Currently our van that we use to transport veterans to their medical appointments in Seattle has 180,000 miles on it. The Veteran’s Administration Regulations dictate the safe usable service life of the van to be 200,000 miles. With the Island County Veterans Assistance Fund declining to provide a grant as they have in the past; your donations are more crucial than ever. In the past local support has been so great that we have been able to maintain the transportation needs for Veterans who may suffer physically or emotionally rendering them incapable of getting themselves to Seattle for medical appointments.

Come on out and support us as we continue to support our local Veterans for the sacrifices they made defending our freedoms and our way of life.

Michelle McClain, Chapter Adjutant

Editor, Sandi Peterson has been a friend of my family’s since 2001 when we first moved to Oak Harbor.

I was stationed at CVWP with her husband, Brian Peterson, while I was still on active duty. In 2008, we became closer friends when I became sick and I had few people available to help me.

Sandi has always been there for my family and myself whenever we needed her without question. This same determination to help when

needed is something I totally see her bringing to our community at a time when we need healing. There has been so much turmoil over the years that I was thrilled when Sandi told me she was going to run for councilmen.

As my children have grown into productive adults as well as voters, they have always gone to Sandi for clarification of something on the ballot that was not clear. The best thing about Sandi is she researches the subject matter becoming well informed on both sides. She does not pick one side over the other because of her political views. She keeps a level head and an open mind. My children have always felt better educated on the issue at hand after talking with Sandi.

Sandi has always been willing to help those who truly need a hand, as well as gone out of her way to provide assistance to those who have problems in their life. When life has handed me more than I thought I could handle, I have always had Sandi there to help me calm down and see things with a clear head.

On Election Day, please support my dear friend!

I believe she will offer us the best representation.

Justina (Tina) Baldwin, Oak Harbor

Sandi Peterson for Oak Harbor City Council, Pos. 5 “As an Oak Harbor citizen, rate payer or member of our business community you deserve council members who will act in your best interest,” Peterson says.

Sandi goes on to say, “I realize that the money in the city’s bank account was first earned by your hard work. It must be thoughtfully stewarded, with focus on needs – not wants. YOU should keep as much of the money you earn as possible. My sense of fiscal responsibility will benefit everyone.

“As a district property manager I was responsible for developing, implementing and successfully administering budgets for several multi-million dollar investment properties. I understand budgets and living within your means.”

Sandi and her husband Brian first moved to Oak Harbor in 1995. Brian is a retired Navy Senior Chief employed at NAS Whidbey. Although Sandi’s career took them off island in ‘96, Brian continued his work at NAS Whidbey. They returned to Oak Harbor in 2007.

Known as a strong business advocate, Sandi believes ordinances should be clear, concise and business friendly; they should be as least restrictive as possible, allowing business the best opportunity to thrive.

If elected, Peterson says, “I will represent you with objectivity and an independent mindset.

I am skilled in looking at all sides of an issue, finding the facts, and asking pertinent questions that lead to making responsible decisions.

I believe in doing the research to be sure I have the best possible information.”

Sandi’s professional background includes: paralegal for a national franchisor, a Washington Real Estate Brokers’ License, Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI), member of King County Realtors Ethics Board, Accredited Residential Manager (ARM), District Property Manager. Sandi attended Anne Arundel Community College (MD) and Edmonds CC (WA). She is also a member of the Oak Harbor Economic Development Council and a Planning Commissioner.

As a business owner, the teams Peterson mentored received local, state and national recognition as a matter of course. As a trainer, she developed and delivered success-oriented training material at local, regional and state conference events.

Sandi adds, “I have been to all local candidate forums. If you have not been able to attend and speak with me, or if you have further questions, please contact me at (360)441-1415 or by email at electsandi@comcast.net. You may also visit my web site at www.sandipeterson.com. And please remember, vote for me!”

Island County Sheriff Office Taking Back Unwanted Prescription Drugs On October 26 from 10:00am to 2:00pm the Island County Sheriff Office, The Coupeville Marshal’s Office, the Oak Harbor PD and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its seventh opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring your medications for disposal to any of the above listed locations. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last April, Americans turned in 371 tons (over 742,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at over 5,800 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners. In its six previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in over 2.8 million pounds—more than 1,400 tons—of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines— flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

DEA is in the process of approving new regulations that implement the Safe and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” (that is, a patient or pet or their family member or owner) of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances.

Tilth’s Last Market is a Halloween Party and Bazaar South Whidbey Tilth’s last outdoor farmers’ market will be a Halloween Harvest Party on Sunday, October 27. The event begins at the usual time of 11:00am, but the closing time has been extended to 3:00pm. It is also the very last of Whidbey’s seasonal outdoor markets. Farmers from every market are invited to come sell the last of their produce. Crafters, artists and makers of value-added goods from each market are also invited to vend and get a jump start on holiday gift sales. Guest vendors are charged a space fee of $10; South Whidbey Tilth members are free. All vendors will pay a 10 percent sales commission. For a special application contact market manager Jo Stephens at market@southwhidbeytilth.org or download a Halloween agreement and the policy at www.southwhidbeytilth.org/market.

Special activities include a pumpkin pie-filling taste off, music by We Three and others, puppeteer Dawn Collins and young Molly Quade on the tight rope. Bob Effertz will provide activities for children. Expect to see costumed ghosts, witches, vegetables and may pirates. Vendors and customers in costume will be recognized for creativity and originality. Bring jack-o’-lanterns, please. Donations of bake goods are welcome for a benefit bake sale for South Whidbey Tilth projects. Please contact Linda Good for more information at llgood@ langleywa.com.

The transition of fall to winter is marked by Halloween, traditionally a time that straddles life and death, plenty and paucity. Visitors are encouraged to think about something you want to change as you finish the harvest season and prepare for the dormancy of winter — a time to incubate new plans. Tilth’s tradition is to invite all to jot down intentions and tuck them into a wreath to be ceremonially burned at 2:00pm.

Kristi, who has been a Doris Day fan since she was a girl, takes great care in doing everything she can to embody Day through her appearance, dress and even the recognizable vibrato of Day’s voice. That has led to some playful confusion at her shows when some audience members actually thought she was Doris Day. “To me, the most special thing about Doris Day is her giving heart and her kindness to animals,” King said. “She’s just an amazing, beautiful human being to this day.”

The public hasn’t heard much from Day since the 1970s, except for a few TV specials in the 1980s, but at nearly 90 years old, she’s still going strong and very active in animal welfare projects.

Que Sera! donates a portion of ticket and CD proceeds to DDAF (the Doris Day Animal Foundation), for which Ms. Day has personally expressed her gratitude.

The Violet Richardson Award is targeted to young women who make the community and world a better place by their volunteer efforts.

This award honors young women, between the ages of 14 and 17, for volunteer action in their community and/or school. The program begins at the local Soroptimist club level, where the recipient will receive $500 plus a $500 award to the volunteer organization or charity she supports. Club-level winners then become eligible for one of 28 $1,000 awards plus $1,000 to their volunteer or charitable organization.

One finalist will be chosen from among the 28 winners for an additional award, including a contribution of $2,500 to the finalist’s volunteer or charitable organization.

The Women’s Opportunity Award is a financial award for women who are the primary wage earners for their family and need financial assistance to further their education or gain additional skills to better support their family. The award may be used for tuition, books, childcare, carfare or any other education related expense. The South Whidbey Club will provide a $1,000 grant to its award recipient, who will then advance to the Soroptimist Northwestern Region level, where one recipient will receive $5,000. This program culminates with three finalists each receiving $10,000 awards.

Applications for both awards are due by December 1, 2013. Applications may be obtained on the Soroptimist of South Whidbey Island website www.sisouthwhidbyisland.

ture Mexican food in addition to traditional deli offerings. Owner and chef Sheila Streicek has been vending her homemade tamales, tacos, and enchiladas through a location at Ken’s Korner and through the Bayview Farmer’s Market. She moved from Los Angeles in 2008 to raise her daughter in a smaller community and to start a business using her culinary arts degree from Le Cordon Bleu and her L.A. catering background.

“I opened Tres Gringos to create beautiful food at affordable prices on the Island. I started with tamales because no one was doing them here and it grew into tacos and other fresh Mexican fusion food,” states Sheila. Mexican food aficionados should note that her specialties are freshly made, from her hand made corn tortillas to the black beans that soak overnight. A few tables will be available for customers on a self-serve basis, and all food will be available for lunch and dinner take out.

Supporting all things local is a mission for Vicky Brown, owner of Little Brown Farm.

She, her husband Tom, and 30 working goats produce small batch cheeses and yogurts at their micro-creamery, which they sell primarily at local farmers markets. She believes so strongly in supporting her fellow food producers that when the space became available at the Cash Store, her thoughts went immediately to how this could benefit local businesses—and Handcrafted on Whidbey was born.

Handcrafted on Whidbey will sell locally produced foods such as cheese, meat, salt, jam, and honey. Also featured will be artwork and clothing by local artists, note cards, and jewelry.

Vicky will also offer gift-wrapping and shipping services to make holiday gift giving as easy as possible. Handcrafted will be open through the end of December.

“I am so excited to have this opportunity at the Bayview Cash Store,” says Vicky Brown. “We’ll be working closely with our fellow merchants here at the Corner to make this a very merry holiday destination!” Adds Sheila, “I’m looking forward to sharing good food and good times with more of the South Whidbey community.”

Lou Mahler, well known in our community as a leader in the real estate business, is naturally proud of her granddaughter Sara Jackets who reportedly decided to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro on her birthday. An Oak Harbor High School Class of 2000 graduate, now a Contract Specialist with the Army Corps of Engineers in Afghanistan, Sara took the challenge and can now scratch that item off her Bucket List.

In her reports to Mahler, Sara said her trip to Africa was even more wonderful than she expected. “They work 6 ½ days a week, 10-12 hours a day” said Mahler, “with only Friday afternoons off, so it was a welcome break for Sara.

Mount Kilimanjaro, at 19,000 feet, is the tallest mountain on the African continent and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.”

Nearly every climber who has summitted Uhuru Peak, the highest summit on Kibo’s crater rim, has recorded his or her thoughts about the accomplishment in a book stored in a wooden box at the top.

The mountain’s snow caps are diminishing, having lost more than 80 percent of their mass since 1912. In fact, they may be completely ice free within the next 20 years, according to scientists.

Over four million indigenous trees will be planted around the base of the mountain, helping prevent soil erosion and protect water sources.

Sara called her family when she got back to her base in Kabul. She took many pictures on her individualized safari which everyone is anxious to see. Proud mother, Jennifer Jackets, set up the IPad so the family could enjoy talking and seeing Sara recount her R&R. Sara received her MBA from Seattle University. After her tour in Afghanistan, she will return to Galveston, Texas.

Sara, at the tender age of 32, has reached a GS-13 level in government employment.

Mahler said Sara’s tour of duty had been extended another 5 ½ months.

Lou Mahler is now retired from 35 years of real estate. She was also appointed as a real estate commissioner for six years.

It just makes sense Youthful ambition and a creative mind led Kevin Haynes to develop an ingenious method of cleaning roofs without water and destroying the asphalt shingles you just paid thousands of dollars to have installed. “I call it ‘H2 Flow’ surface cleaning and clearing,” Haynes said. He said the bristles are just large enough to sweep away the moss but not the asphalt granules.

“The idea came to me when I saw someone cleaning a roof with a push broom and thought there must be an easier way.”

To get his new business off the ground, Haynes developed a machine that looks like a hand-held street sweeper and is actually used to make AstroTurf stand up again. The damage-free process takes about a half a day.

Truly Trudy remembered Good news has arrived from Marshall Goldberg, a close friend of the late Trudy Sundberg, who passed away the end of June.

To keep her memory alive in a way that befits her life and legacy, Marshall partnered with Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation in August to set up an endowment in Trudy’s name that would sponsor an eminent speaker for an annual Memorial Lecture Series on Whidbey Island. The response to the request for donations in just six short weeks has been overwhelming.

Anyone wishing to make a donation in Trudy’s honor should go to the Sno-Isle Libraries website at http://www.sno-isle. org and check out the “giving” tab under the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation section. With such growing community support, readers should look for the first memorial lecture to take place in late 2014.

Levi’s home Not long ago, my friend Megan Johnson went through what I will call the worst weekend of her life. Her dad Mark Forbes had taken the family dogs out for a walk, with her dog Levi in the mix. Levi, a fancy breed long-coated neutered male chihuahua, weighs only 6 pounds and is the attractive type of pet collectors would love to take home and pass off as their own. Was he really lost? Had someone returned him to the place they found him?

Megan plastered the Internet and Facebook with photos and pleas for his return. She personally called or visited every vet’s office in a wide radius of Oak Harbor until there was no one else to call. Finally, she picked up the phone and spoke to the kind soul who found Levi just wandering.

When the world needs heroes, they just somehow show up. Thank you to Brian and others who gave Levi a safe place until his people could be found and the little rascal returned to his adoring family.

On Track with Jim Freeman

Our local bunny whisperer dropped by the other day to listen to my little hoppers, Buddy and Benny. Both bunnies are wild, and reluctant to express to me their desires beyond daily carrot feedings, supplemented with the cheapest rabbit pellets known to bunnies.

Recently, both bunny buddies have seemed somewhat lethargic, or at least more comfortable around me, even if I am splitting Doug fir or unloading groceries from the truck.

Wondering if I might not be giving the bunamic duo enough attention as the days become cooler, I summoned our whisperer to converse with Benny and Buddy.

The whisperer’s confidential rabbit report follows: At the request of the person to remain nameless, I was summoned to investigate the lethargic nature of two non-domesticated rabbits within Zip code 98249.

After some preliminary questioning, I was able to determine the following: 1. Both bunnies appreciate the attention and positive encouragement they have received thus far.

2. Both bunnies appreciate the free carrots, but prefer thinner and longer sizes over thick and short ones. Apparently, the thinner and longer carrots are easier to carry at high hopping speeds.

3. Both bunnies appreciate the recent influx of Lay’s potato chips as a snack, but prefer fresh to stale, and regular flavored over salt and vinegar.

Herein completes the major issues covered in our seven minute conversation on the 22nd of October, notwithstanding the extreme appreciation of both Benny and Buddy that they can leave their multitudinous greetings anywhere they want.

Yours in four-legged whispers, The Bunny Whisperer Thanks to Minnie Dexter for her recent inquiry as to the safety and well-being of Benny and Buddy. We had the bunny whisperer ask the boys if they would like to join Minnie and the other celebrities who frequent the elegant dining room at Maple Ridge for lunch. Apparently, both bunnies were most excited to attend until they learned of Minnie’s requirement that everyone seated at her table use ketchup on their Bunny ice cream.

Best Ever Wedding Reception at a Drive-In Movie Theatre Were there such a device as a Wow Meter, last Saturday night’s wedding reception for Mr. and Mrs. Nicolas Craig Bratt would have registered Wowser.

First of all, imagine being able to get into a drive-in movie theatre for free, without hiding your buddies in the trunk of your 1963 Corvair.

Secondly, imagine being six years old, with a free reign of popcorn, candy and unlimited amounts of Toppins of Oak Harbor’s award winning yogurt.

Thirdly, imagine walking into a video arcade converted to a chandelier infested palace while being videoed by a national television show.

Enough imagining. We were there. Highlights will be aired next spring on TLC’s Four Weddings reality TV show.

Given the number of personal appearance releases which I saw being signed by bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents and grandparents, there could be a great collage of footage of many familiar faces from Whidbey Island.

Given the geographics, with new groom Nick being the son of Oak Harbor’s Blue Fox Drive-In owners Lori and Darrell Bratt, and new bride Kelsey Jo Ann Greene being the daughter of South Whidbey parents Linda Lampkin and Terry Greene, the imaginary dividing line between North and South Whidbey has been removed.

Most assuredly, last weekend’s union of folks from all areas of Whidbey proved once again the connections of humanity trump the disconnects.

Smiling faces, dancing children, tuxedoed go-kart drivers, and free popcorn. Can it get any better?

Congratulations to all of the families and friends involved for being able to share in the love and laughter of life.

We’ll keep you posted on the air date of THE EPISODE of Four Weddings, featuring Kelsey and Nick. My prediction is that no matter which of the

Priceless preciousness.

No wonder this planet is filled with so many wonderful children.

Someday they will all grow up to be wonderful grandparents.

The Pilot and the Priest A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who is dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, a leather jacket, and worn blue jeans.

Saint Peter addresses this cool guy, “Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?”

The guy replies casually, “I’m Jack, retired airline pilot from Houston.”

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the pilot, “Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.”

The pilot then enters through the gates, proudly carrying his robe and staff.

Next, it is the priest’s turn to introduce himself to Saint Peter. Standing erect, the priest booms out, “Saint Peter, I am Father Bob, pastor of Saint Mary’s Church for the last forty-three years.”

Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest, “Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and joyfully enter the Kingdom.”

“Just a moment,” says the good Father. “That man was a pilot and he gets a silken robe and a golden staff and I get only cotton and wood. How can this be?”

“Up here, we go by results,” says Saint Peter.

“When you preached, Father, people slept. When Pilot Jack flew, people prayed.”

To Clinton or Not to Clinton?

Thursday, October 24, which could be today if you time it right on your reading, the citizens of Clinton, Washington, 98236, will gather in the historic Clinton Community Hall to address the issues on many 98236 minds–where is everybody?

Like many of our communities, Clinton’s economics have suffered during the last several years. Businesses have gone. Businesses have come. People have done the same, coming and going, but mostly going, as Clinton is the Gateway to Whidbey.

Not unlike a newbie approaching the pearly gates of Heaven, typically when one arrives in Clinton from the Mukilteo Ferry run, he or she or they seem anxious to move on to other island destinations.

For me, Clinton is not unlike the Woodland Park Zoo. Unless one is a zoo member, most folks go to the zoo but once, maybe twice a year. Being a resident of Freeland, I must admit that my drives to Clinton are usually limited to meetings with friends at Anchor Books and Coffee, wedding receptions at the historic Clinton Hall, pizza at Cozy’s, grilled chicken sandwiches at Shirley’s or getting gifts of thrift at All Ms. Charlotte’s in the old Nick’s Furniture building, across from Clinton Food Market, another frequent destination for food and drink.

Sure, we go to Dairy Queen for the peanut buster parfait, or the Clinton Post Office for new stamps, or the wonderful Clinton Library for the first crack at the DVDs and CDs, but mostly, we go to Clinton because it is not noisy or nosey.

Years ago, Langley, our self-proclaimed Village by the Sea, had an ad campaign that spouted–“Do Nothing in Langley.”

Maybe Clinton could print up bumper stickers that say, “Get Quiet in Clinton” or “Be Quiet in Clinton”.

In fact, most of the time I am in Clinton, it seems even quieter than the library.

Is this good? Is this bad? Is this economic progress?

Tonight, from 6:30 PM on, along with Commissioner Helen Price-Johnson, Carol Flax, Bob Craven, Curt Gordon, Jack Lynch and Sherryl ChristieBierschenk, we shall hear what the locals think as the Clinton Community Council, a vibrant group of big-picture thinkers, gather with the concerned to discuss the what-ifs and what-fors.

Hope to see you there, even if you just listen to the quiet.

Of course, with me near the microphone, the quiet may not last too long.

Helen Marie-Loraine Hartman Helen Hartman, age 83, died suddenly at Island Hospital on Saturday, October 5, 2013. She was born March 20, 1930 in El Cerrito, CA to Fred Noble Lease and Mary Lillian Schonhard Lease. Helen was raised in Richmond, CA where she graduated from high school. On July 3, 1954 she married Richard Dean Hartman in Hernando, Mississippi.

Dick was a career Navy man. Helen and the family followed Dick to his various duty stations.

The U.S. Navy took the family to Kodiak, Tennessee, Florida, California and Whidbey Island. Oak Harbor became home in 1960. When her children were older, Helen attended Skagit Valley College where she obtained her degree and certification as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Helen worked as an LPN for Island Hospital, Naval Hospital Oak Harbor, and finally Whidbey Island Manor in Oak Harbor.

Helen was a member of St Augustine Catholic Church and the Catholic Daughters of America. She also was a member of the Oak Harbor Emblem Club #450 for nearly 30 years. Helen was a faithful volunteer for St Augustine Catholic Church Agape dinner for the homeless.

Following retirement, Dick and Helen traveled the U.S. for two years and then began spending their winters in Arizona. Mesa was home for five years and then Yuma for the next ten.

Helen is survived by five children; Penelope (Eric) Geisler, Teresa (Tom) Schmalz, George (Vicki) Hartman, Cynthia (Ralph) Sandlin and Joseph (Lilas) Hartman. Also surviving are 12 grandchildren, Neil Geisler, Karl Geisler (Josi Barinaga), Joseph and Daniel Schmalz, Lara and Joel Sisel, Kaci Sisel (Ronald Heidstra), Nicolas Hartman and Ryan (Herlinda) Shawaluk, and Emma, Luke, and Lucy Hartman, and three great-grandchildren; Isabella, Ryan, and Jeremiah Shawaluk Preceding her in death were one sister Mary Edith Baumann and brothers Thomas Lease and Frederick Lease.

Funeral mass for Helen was celebrated on Friday, October 11, 2013 at 10:00am at St Augustine Catholic Church with Rev. Paul Pluth, JCL, Celebrant. Rites of Committal were held at Maple Leaf Cemetery with a reception for family and friends following at Wallin Funeral Home. A Vigil Service was held on Thursday, Oct. 10, at St. Augustine at 7:00pm.

In lieu of flowers, you can remember Helen by making a donation to the Agape Dinner Fund C/O St Augustine Catholic Church. Helen truly loved volunteering at the Monday night dinners.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories and offer condolences on their website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com

Harvey Broadbent Harvey Broadbent was born in Clinton, MA on October 5, 1918 to Harvey and Blanche (Usher) Broadbent. He was raised in Hudson, MA. Following high school, Harvey attended Norwich University in Vermont and then Tufts College. He completed his post graduate work in Monterey, California.

In 1941, Harvey enlisted in the United States Navy as an Aviation Machinist Second Class. In 1943, he was commissioned as a Naval Officer at Corpus Christi, Texas. He became an Aviation Specialist, flying every prop plane the Navy had. During World War II, he was assigned to the USS Yorktown, the “Flying Lady” out of Charleston.

He served aboard six of the Navy’s carriers.

Harvey was transferred to the Pentagon as Plans Officer for the staff. Following his tour at the Pentagon, he was sent around the world aboard the nuclear carrier the USS Enterprise. From the Enterprise, he was sent to Alameda as Operations Officer. He retired on September 1, 1969 as a Captain (O-6) with over 29 years of service. During the 24 years of his commissioned service, Harvey and his family moved 27 times with three children.

Harvey built a retirement home in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains on 40 acres. He eventually sold that property and in 1975, moved to Oak Harbor. On October 2, 1986 he was married to Shirley (Hoffman) Crozer Gregory. They became full-time RV’ers for eight years. They traveled the U.S. three times, including a trip across Canada. They also purchased a park model home in Apache Junction, AZ, spending several winters there.

Harvey enjoyed wood carving and rebuilding Model-A Fords and other auto repairs and playing the Spider Game on his computer. Harvey was a member of the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge #2362 VFWWhitehead Muzzall Post 7392, and Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).

Harvey is survived by his wife Shirley; two children James (Renee) Broadbent of Livermore, CA and Georgina Ann Broadbent (Larry Olsen) of Hayward, CA. Also surviving are seven grandchildren; Ellen and Jon Broadbent, Corina and Amanda Beczner, Sara & Kyle Baldi, and Hanna Smith; and three great-grandchildren; Hayden & Lillie Smith and Connor Broadbent. He was preceded in death by a daughter and her spouse Jane & David Baldi and two sisters, Myrtle and Ruth.

Harvey requested no formal funeral services be conducted. Cremation was held with burial at sea to follow under the auspices of the United States Navy.

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