Whidbey General Renews its Diabetes Education Accreditation

this team effort. This was the most successful Drug Take Back Day on record.

Mark Brown, Island County Sheriff

Letters to the Editor Editor, Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey thanks everyone who attended or bought tickets to our October 21, 2013 FIESTA. We were grateful for a beautiful evening with Marty Malloy playing Spanish style guitar while Scott Fraser and his team at Frasers Gourmet served up a delicious Spanish themed four-course meal for our guests.

We are appreciative of the Oak Harbor businesses and organizations that support our mission to temporarily help those less fortunate at this time in their lives with prescription medications and emergency dental care. We are especially thankful for our sponsors Best Friends Veterinary, Island Drug and Gene Kelly Barner at Edward Jones at the Plata level and Whidbey Vision Care, Saar’s Market Place Food & Drug, and Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle at the Bronce level.

It is heart warming to be a part of a community who takes care of each other. We received in kind donations from Island Trollers, Whidbey Weekly, Dill Design and Gary Berner DDS. Also each of our board members made a contribution in creating a gorgeous gift basket of “all our favorite things” awarded to a lucky raffle winner!

As a member of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce we also were able to get the word out to many others who may partner with us in the future.

The entire board of directors thanks all that made this annual event happen and hope you continue to help us help others during these difficult economic times. We look forward to next year’s Fiesta!

Cynthia Mason President, Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey

To all Citizens, I am pleased to announce we just completed another successful “Drug Take Back Day” on Saturday, October 26, 2013. My sincere thanks to the Coupeville Marshal’s Office and the Oak Harbor Police Department who assisted me in collecting the unwanted drugs in their respective jurisdictions. We teamed up with the DEA to collect over 430 pounds of unused prescription medication and other drugs from local citizens throughout Whidbey Island. A lot of narcotics with highly addictive potential were taken out of medicine cabinets in our community and will subsequently be destroyed in accordance with federal regulations thanks to

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Director Rusty Hendrix and Musical Director Darren McCoy are pleased to announce November’s musical hit at the Whidbey Playhouse.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, is the story told in song of Jacob and his sons, Joseph being the favorite. The brothers sell Joe off to slavery in Egypt and convince their father that he is dead.

Done to the comedic Western style song and dance “There’s One More Angel in Heaven”.

Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel.

Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubblegum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless. Joseph’s coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat runs through Sunday, November 24 with performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday matinees at 2:30pm. Tickets are available at the theatre box office located at 730 SE Midway Blvd in Oak Harbor, or call (360)679-2237.

Hearts & Hammers Looking for Homes Hearts & Hammers is looking for homes on South Whidbey to repair for the May 3, 2014 work day. Since 1984 this volunteer organization has repaired over 600 homes, helping homeowners who physically or financially are unable to do the work alone. The mission is neighbors helping neighbors stay in their homes.

Volunteers do whatever repairs and renovations possible within the scope of a one-day work party, including carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, painting, plastering, weatherization, heavy cleaning, roofing, yard cleanup and trash removal. Priority is given to health and safety concerns. There is no cost to the homeowner due to grants and donations from foundations, service organizations, churches, and fund raising efforts. This is also possible because of donations of labor and materials from many local businesses and the efforts of hundreds of local volunteers.

If you are a homeowner and would like to be

considered, visit www.heartsandhammers.com or call (360)221-6063. The deadline is January 31, 2014. A Hearts and Hammers board member will be in touch. For emergency needs that can’t wait for the annual workday, call right away. Financial donations to help continue this work can be made through the web site or mailed to PO Box 694, Langley WA 98260.

The Whidbey General Hospital Diabetes Education Program recently renewed its status as an accredited diabetes education program by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). This accreditation allows residents on and around Whidbey Island increased access to critical diabetes education services.

Diabetes education is a collaborative process through which people with, or at risk for, diabetes gain the knowledge and skills needed to modify behavior and successfully self-manage the disease and its related conditions.

The Whidbey General Hospital Diabetes Education Program offers instruction through the Medical Ambulatory Care clinic at the hospital in Coupeville.

“Diabetes prevention and care are growing concerns on Whidbey Island,” says Line Goulet, RN, BScN, Med, CDE, coordinator of the Diabetes Education Program. “Education empowers a patient to take control of their health and to improve the outcome of diabetes treatment.”

In addition to the Diabetes Education Program, Whidbey General offers free diabetes prevention classes several times per year. Goulet will present the next such program Saturday, November 9, from 10:00am to noon at the hospital. “November is Diabetes Awareness Month,” she notes. “It’s an excellent time to become more informed about how to prevent and treat diabetes.”

The AADE is approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to accredit Diabetes Self-Management Education/Training Programs. Programs accredited by AADE are eligible for reimbursement from CMS.

Local Business News Peoples Bank Hires Jes WalkerWyse as Manager at Oak Harbor Financial Center

NAS Whidbey Island’s SAR team received the call due to low cloud ceilings that prevented local civilian medical airlift services from flying.

“We got the page at about 10:20am, and launched for Lopez Island about an hour later,” said Lt. Maggie Champlin, the MH-60S Knighthawk Helicopter Aircraft Commander. “We were asked to take the patient to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle due to the nature of his injuries.”

According to NAS Operations’ SAR report, a San Juan paramedic was on scene when SAR arrived, and assisted the Navy rescue crew in getting the victim aboard the aircraft. Despite the low visibility due to fog, Champlin said there was great crew coordination both on the ground and in the air.

Assisting in the MedEvac were Lt. Matt Mangaran; Co-pilot; Naval Aircrewman Helicopter (AWS) 2nd Class Tim Hawk; Crew Chief; AWS2 Jon Hampton, Helicopter Inland Rescue Aircrewman; and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (HM2) Alex Nguyen and HM2 Wayne Papalski, both SAR Medical Technicians.

Thus far this year, SAR has performed five MedEvacs, eight rescues and three searches.

sTill Talking

By Eileen Brown

When the invitation comes to “take tea,” one thinks of cucumber sandwiches and small cakes served sometime between 4 and 6 pm. Actually, “Tea” can refer to several different meals or mealtimes, depending on local customs.

Tea as a meal can be small or large, and the one served on a recent Saturday afternoon at Cameron’s Cafe Casual Dining in Oak Harbor was perfect in every respect.

Wrapping my new scarf around my neck (thanks, Wild Magnolia), I headed out to meet friends on a crisp afternoon, ready for a new gustatory experience.

Actually, Cam’s Harvest Tea featured the usual array of tasty treats plus something for the men to sink their teeth into: fire-grilled sausage cut on the diagonal served right next to fine-cut sweet and sour red cabbage, lest one not get the hint. More on the food in a minute. Let’s talk about people.

Circling our table were guests Karen and Ben Bunnell, Karen and Ralph Thornton, Jerry and Brenda Pike, Charlanne Bodach, and, visiting from Dallas, Debra Smith and Karen Smith, Brenda’s two sisters.

Other guests drawn in by the music and heavenly aromas sat in their comfortable booths as numbers were drawn for door prizes from Pioneer Way merchants, including matted art prints from Garry Oak Gallery across the mall courtyard. Leave it to Cameron Morris, proprietor, and partner Chef David Burdette to think of such personal touches.

Other delicious offerings included bruschette on a heavenly light yeast crust, brownie cookies and pale cupcakes with paler, fluffy frosting swirled on top.

As we visited, I learned Brenda’s sister Karen once sang back-up for Burt Bacharach. It is a musical family indeed. Brenda entertained during the tea, her honeyed voice taking us back to a time when such songs as “My Funny Valentine” and the melancholy “Autumn Leaves” meant something in our lives.

Folks scurrying about outside missed a cordial, relaxing break from the routine for the modest cost of $25 per person. “Tea” filled our tummies and laughter made us appreciate how rich we are in friendships and conversation.

Do it again, Cameron. We can’t wait to return. And may I suggest to those reading this, pick up some gift certificates to have ready when the next tea is announced. Take the neighbors, your son and daughter in law, your hairdresser – anyone who blesses your world by just being in it.

Cameron’s phone number is (360) 2401222.

The Mane Event Veterans’ Day reminds me of the first red poppy I bought years ago, and hearing my coins clink to the bottom of a donation can.

We may not have had an actual veteran seated at our kitchen table, recalling wartime horrors and victories, but we probably read about the Western Front during WWI, as American soldiers inched forward on their bellies to confront the enemy; and to Pork Chop Hill in Korea and the jungles of Vietnam.

The red poppy symbolized the sacrifice of two Whidbey boys after their Navy aircraft was shot down over Baghdad on Jan. 20, 1991. Lts. Charlie Turner and Tom Costen stood for them then and its meaning is still evolving. Maybe one day the red poppy will

be raised from a symbol of war to one of reconciliation.

If you are on top of all things football then you know that Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety Troy Polamalu, who insured his hair for $1 million, will have it cut at the VFW Mane Event on Veterans Day. Polamalu says he wants to honor those who have served our country. The event will raise money for struggling veterans. “I am honored to join the Veterans of Foreign Wars Mane Event, encouraging the nation to unite for veterans for a second year,” said Polamalu. “By getting my hair cut on Veterans Day, I am showing my commitment to the men and women who serve our country…the real heroes.” So far Polamalu hasn’t said how much hair he will cut, but it is rumored he may cut up to 10 inches off his mane.

Anyone can take part. Local Post No. 7392 Commander Cecil Pierce and others will line up for their hair cuts Nov. 11. Go to the website – VFW Mane Event – and donate what you can. So far, more than $30,000 has been raised. While Polamalu is certainly the most popular person who plans to cut his hair for the VFW, anyone can participate.

Pierce says the local VFW Group calls itself the Whidbey Maniacs. One may donate direct to them as well.

Nationally, VFW and Ladies Auxiliary members raise about $15 million each year to benefit disabled and needy veterans and the widows and orphans of deceased veterans.

In 1923, VFW became the first veterans’ organization to promote a nationally organized campaign for the annual distribution of poppies, which are assembled by disabled or hospitalized veterans.

Stop by the post at 3037 N. Goldie Road, Oak Harbor or call 675-4048.

Words that hurt When I was a little girl, I’d hear other kids in a sing-song fashion say, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names (or words) can never hurt me.” Sorry, but words hurt as much and cut as deep as any knife. If the taunting came from someone you thought was a friend, the pain was devastating.

Some victims think the only way out is to stop living. Escape the pain. Again, that is wrong.

Almost all children experience bullying at some point during their school careers and 10 to 15 percent may be either chronic victims or bullies themselves. Teachers are learning how to deal with this growing public concern, what bullying is and how to intervene.

Home movies extraordinaire Come to a local movie premiere at the Clyde Theatre in Langley at noon or 2PM Sunday, Nov. 10. Watch native birds and mammals forage, birds nest and young birds being fed by their parents.

The film, “Birds, Backyards and Beyond,” is a production of Craig and Joy Johnson of Whidbey Island. Admission is free, but one may wish to donate to help pay for the increasing costs associated with Craig’s medical needs.

Craig and Joy will take questions following each show.

To view short promo video on vimeo, type in: https://vimeo.com/75837848; or look for it on their Facebook page: Puget Sound Backyard Birds Craig and Joy are co-authors of several Puget Sound area photographic bird books and an illustrated children’s book, The Amazing Hummingbird Story of Red Rufous.

Think of Jupiter as being the first cock to crow at dawn. Venus as the one who sets out the scones for breakfast. The result is that your letter sounds like sunshine and food for hope, topics of great interest to our readers. You are invited to tell us more.

Dear Astrologer,

chicken liTTle and The asTrOlOger

By Wesley Hallock Dear Astrologer, I’m 60 and single, and thinking about my retirement. I lost half my planned retirement funds in the 2008 crash, which means Social Security income is going to figure much more importantly to me than I thought. Now I’m seeing recommendations that the retirement age for Social Security be raised to 70, with severe payout limits for those unable to work to that age.

Bottom line for me is, if I’m ever to stop working at all, it appears it will be in a foreign country where money goes much farther. I’m seriously considering Costa Rica. I’m told I could live handsomely there on a budget that would have me dumpster diving to survive in the U.S. My question is, do you see me living in a foreign country?

Worried About My Future Born April 18, 1953 at 6:44 P.M. in Dallas, Texas Dear Worried, If it’s a foreign land you want, you will likely get it. Mercury, Venus and the Sun in your horoscope strongly suggest a long-term stay in a distant land, away from your family and birth place. Since they give their effects in the years 2000-2048, it’s realistic to think you will live outside the U.S. in your retirement years.

Just as importantly, the planets I mentioned are in reasonably strong and healthy condition. This means you will retain the option of leaving whatever country you retire to, and not become stuck in a place you do not want to be.

Before you depart for Costa Rica, a couple of highly recommended book titles that may influence your decision: Dumpster Diving for Fun and Profit, by Les Bucks and Moe Dettes, and The Pan-handler’s Bible – Tips for Staying Afloat While Navigating America’s Economic Recovery, by I.M. Poore.

I have never slept well under the full moon.

Cloudy skies to block the light do not help, and neither do window curtains. When the moon is full, I can pretty well plan on finding myself wide awake in the middle of the night. I don’t like the after effects of sleeping pills, so I took up painting with watercolors to give me something to do. I paint at other times, too, and have noticed that my art is less grounded on full moon nights, tending toward airy or watery themes.

Why am I so Moon-sensitive?

Painting By Moonlight Born July 12, 1971 at 7:23 P.M. in Shreveport, Louisana Dear Painting By Moonlight, Your horoscope is marvelous for picking up Moon vibes. You wear the Moon the way fat babies wear dimples. They become you.

Why? Your Moon antenna begins with Jupiter and Neptune sitting hand in hand on your rising degree. This is like Optimism and Beauty having you on speed dial. When they feel lonely, the phone rings in your bedroom, calling you to paint.

That alone is enough to give you feelings of oneness with the universe and set your watercolors to flowing. But the frosting on your cupcake comes from your Sun and Moon. They form a grand trine with your rising degree, linking it to the superbly sensitive signs of Cancer and Pisces. An ounce of stardust settling on the Moon thus registers as an itch in your paintbrush hand.

Enjoy your lunar insomnias. Moon is clearly your muse and you his favorite contact.

Dear Astrologer, My birthday is coming up and I’m wondering what changes will come with it? Anything good in store for me?

I guess you could say I’m having a second childhood, filling in the gaps with things that didn’t happen the first time around. For example, I never got to own a horse, something this girl wanted badly. Maybe this is my year?

I really look forward to your column each Thursday. Thank you!

A Teen at Heart

Adios amiga!

Born November 14, 1975, at 5:13 P.M. in Yuma, Arizona

Dear Astrologer, I’ve always run at the back of the pack in life. I didn’t reach puberty until 17. I was a virgin until my senior year of college. I didn’t marry until 36. I never had a child of my own, although we finally adopted when I was 40. I consoled myself with the attitude, “Better a late bloomer than a blooming idiot!”

Next year, our son will be headed for college (he was 7 when we adopted) and, with career success and child-rearing behind me, I feel like I’ve not only caught the pack, but in some ways I am surging ahead of them. My age group seems disoriented and slowing down, at a time when I see potentials and great opportunities.

Do you see this strong second half of life for me?

Why has my life path been so atypical?

Getting My Second Wind Born July 19, 1962, at 8:44 P.M. in Hilo, Hawaii Dear Second Wind, Your formative years were largely Saturn-ruled, and Saturn, above all else, is S-L-O-W. Slower than Elmer Fudd’s Winnebago. On a hill. But Saturn is also persistent, and once Saturn gets going, there is no stopping. Opossums and weak bladders, take note.

You are now in the Venus period of your life. With Saturn’s delays behind you, and his unstoppable momentum to carry you, your Venus is tapping you into an optimism others don’t see. The source

Dear Teen at Heart, As your letter hints, birthdays are like a personal New Year. Each has its own horoscope, called a solar return chart, or a varshaphala chart in the East, that is valid until the next birthday.

The horse is possible, but don’t wait for it to fall in your lap. Your most important actions this year come with a price tag, and whatever you get, you will pay the price. Purchases made simply for the joy of having them rank high on the list of possibilities.

Long patience shows up in your birth chart as your great ally in getting the things you have long desired. A horse doesn’t seem too much to ask.

The year ahead promises a wild ride as the effects of Uranus on your natal Moon play out. I’m seeing that it grants a daring edge to your character, inspiring you to take leaps in life you have not taken. I’m betting one of those will be onto the back of horse and into the saddle, satisfying that girlhood need. The planets are with you.

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.

Locally owned.

On Track with Jim Freeman

Now that I have apparently reached the age of forgetting names with familiar faces, I am less apt to go outside my limited radius of influence, lest I be caught again with my mind down.

Blaine for Siri Bardarson.

Today, at the Freeland Library, I mistook Karin

How can one mistake identical twins?

Pretty easily, I can say, with much guilt and astonishment.

Apologies to Karin for hugging you while thinking you were your twin sister.

Locally operated. ball games, I bet their cheers of “Don’t Cross the Borderites!” send a message to any fan without a green card.

While the Camas Papermakers sounds better than the Mossyrock Magazine Publishers (actually, they are the very respected, and very large, Mossyrock Vikings), I cannot say much coming from Oil City, Pennsylvania, where we were the Oilers, with a yearbook named The Oil Can, and a hometown newspaper known as The Derrick.

Other classic Washington high school mascots include the Deer Park Stags, the Davenport Gorillas, and the Oakville Acorns.

Roll on, Acorns, roll on!

While it seems logical for me to want a Freeman Scotties t-shirt, I am not sure how well it would be received at our next Freeman family reunion.

Our Ozark and Texas kin might just think I am talking about the tissue.

Did I mention the Taholah Chitwins?

How could I do such a thing having shared stages and microphones with each of these incredibly fine and legendary Northwest entertainers?

I wonder if I could use that mascot name in a Scrabble game.

Karin will be performing at Ott and Murphy’s in Langley, Friday, December 6. Stop in for some fine food, liquid refreshment, and a chance to lift your spirits with one of our local singersongwriter gurus. Siri teaches cello, and performs at Bloom’s Winery with Siri and Steve, and with the Saratoga Orchestra, to just mention a few of her skills.

Neil’s Clover Patch--30 years of Comfort Food Three decades ago, when I moved to Whidbey, I was a newbie in pursuit of a good chow hall for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Give me a locally owned restaurant, with a good burger and a corn starch free gravy, and this boy is ready to tip.

Additionally, stop by Avi Rostov’s Click Music in Oak Harbor to thank Avi for sharing Siri and Karin’s musical and teaching skills with the community.

Avi, if you are reading this, I am coming up soon to look at used ukuleles and to sign up for lessons.

I wonder.

Are the Blaine sisters like Haley Mills in “Parent Trap”, or Patty Duke playing both sisters in “The Patty Duke Show”? Do all twins play tricks on people?

What if I hire Karin to teach me how to play ukulele and to sound like Arthur Godfrey, but Siri shows up for my lesson?

Maybe only one of them knows the real story on Mr. Godfrey firing Julius LaRosa on the air.

Seeing a sign that said Clover Patch was all I needed for the good luck which was to follow as I approached Neil’s to eat my first ever meal on Whidbey.

Thirty years later, we are still enjoying Neil’s burgers, mashed potatoes with gravy, eggs Benedict, NY Steak and prawns, Peggy’s timeless wit, Margaret’s sarcasm and the sound of Candace’s carpet cleaning low-rider roller machine.

Whether you enjoy local color with your locally grown food, or you just want the joy of choosing entrees like broiled lobster tail, roasted leg of lamb, fresh wild salmon, prime rib au jus, or local, grass-fed Filet Mignon, give Neil and Candace a pat on the shoulder for supporting our community and our guests since 1983.

Congratulations, Candace and Neil, and their Marine son Willie, still standing tall everywhere he goes.

Howaya, howaya, howaya.

Chortle, Guffaw, and Giggle Fest If laughter is the best medicine, grab your stethoscope and get on down to Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, this Saturday, November 9, for the Seattle International Comedy Competition.

Something else I learned last week The best way for me to remember when it is time to wash clothes is to do it the same week I get my teeth cleaned.

Now in its 35th year, the contest attracts many of the nation’s finest aspiring comics. Showtime is at 7pm, with twenty comics scheduled to perform on stage, not counting the wannabes like me who will be in the audience.

My hygienist Lori recommends I have my teeth cleaned at least four times a year. Given the number of times I have had to buy clean clothes at the local thrift stores, I now have enough combinations of items to go three months between trips to Midway Coin Laundry in Oak Harbor.

60th High School Reunion He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years being high school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past without fail.

Come to think of it, Siri and Karin are probably too young to even know who Arthur Godfrey was, or how he spoke Hawaiian.

Located within walking distance of Dollar Tree and the comic book store, I recommend adding a few quarters to the Midway dryers so you can browse both stores without haste while your Sponge Bob Square Pants are tumbling.

There is so much joy to be had in a laundromat, and, at Midway Coin-Op, free popcorn and coffee for patrons to comfort you if the white noise is not enough.

Mascot Madness The recent news headlines regarding the inappropriate nature of the Washington Redskins football team name caused me to check a web site compiled by Marc Sheehan in July 2012, which summarized college and high school mascots in the Evergreen State of Washington.

Some of my eye openers included the original name of the Washington Huskies–the Sun Dodgers.

I bet that helped recruiting.

The Grays Harbor Chokers of Aberdeen must have had some great headlines over the years.

The Shoreline Dolphins used to be the Shoreline Samurai. Maybe hold off on trick or treating that cul de sac.

Back in the day, the Yakima Valley Indians became the Yakima Valley Yaks.

I wonder how many times the Marching Yaks band has had to play that old Coasters hit, Yakety Yak, at halftime.

The Blaine Borderites certainly have the edge on having a more practically named mascot. Even if the Blaine High cheerleaders and yell squad do not wear border-crossing uniforms for their foot-

This 60th anniversary of their class, the widower and the widow made a foursome with two other singles. They had a wonderful evening, their spirits high.

The widower throwing admiring glances across the table. The widow smiling coyly back at him.

Finally, he picked up the courage to ask her, “Will you marry me?”

After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, “Yes, yes I will!”

Rodger Earl Clevish

Mark J. Albright

Rodger Clevish completed his life journey here on Earth on Wednesday, October 2, 2013. He was 70 years of age.

Rodger was born in Everett, WA on November 6, 1942 to Earl and Ruth Marion Clevish. He grew up in the Everett area.

Mark J. Albright, age 54, died October 17, 2013 at Whidbey General Hospital from injuries sustained in an accident between a deer and his motorcycle on his way home from second shift at Boeing. He was born June 19, 1959 in Beeville, Texas to Lyman and Doris Albright.

As a young boy Rodger’s first job was delivering newspapers for the Everett Herald. He later worked for Simpson Lee Mill and went on to retire from Rubantino Waste Management. He then became a convenience store owner/operator managing Machias Grocery in Snohomish and then Bailey’s Corner Market on Whidbey Island. He once again retired, only to return to work for McBride Fencing Company and became a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity.

Rodger recently received a certificate from President Obama for his dedicated service to Habitat for Humanity. He also spent many years as an Everett Jaycees Clown as well as a Radio 123 Clown touring and performing in numerous parades and benefits supporting children. He was a member of the Teamsters Union, The Degree of Honor Hall, Rod & Gun Club, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Rodger is survived by three daughters; Michelle Clevish of Stanwood, WA, Melinda (Ron) Smith of Sedro Woolley, WA, and Deann (Tony) Posey of Stanwood, WA and a stepdaughter Gidget (Shane) Green of Lake Stevens, WA. Also surviving is his partner in life, Christl Barnett and her family, daughter Charise Mellow and partner James Nekala from Clinton and son Jim Woodard of Valejo, CA. In addition, Rodger is survived by 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and a granddaughter Bobbie-Jo Parrish.

In keeping with Rodger’s wishes he was cremated with his remains being placed next to his parents at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park, Everett, WA. In remembrance of their selfless, sincere, and dedicated care, memorials may be sent to Whidbey General Hospital CCU/Cancer Care, 101 N. Main Street, Coupeville, WA or Enso House 6339 Wahl Road, Freeland, WA 98249.

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

Mark’s father was a career Navy man and in 1961, the Albright family was sent to Oak Harbor and NAS Whidbey. From here, they traveled to Ohio, Illinois and on to Racine, Wisconsin, where Mark attended Junior and Senior High School. After graduating from high school, Mark began dating Roberta “Robin” Hedding and on January 12, 1980, Mark and Robin were married in Racine, Wisconsin.

Mark came from a long line of career military men and he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and received the rate of AME, Aviation Structural Mechanic, tasked with the safety and maintenance of his aircraft.

After completing boot camp, he was transferred to Millington, TN, where son Mark, Jr. was born and then to California, where daughter Sarah joined the family. Oak Harbor became home in 1984.

Mark retired from the Navy in January 2000. He received his ASC certification as an auto mechanic and spent the next six years working for Matt’s Import Haven, Clinton. Mark left the auto shop and returned to NAS Whidbey, this time as a civilian contractor. In 2011 he was assigned to a carrier deployment and was one of ten individuals injured in an engine explosion. Mark decided he was through with the military life and accepted a position as a Quality Inspector for the Dreamliner project with Boeing.

Mark’s life was centered on his family. Being a good husband and father was first and foremost in his life. He was a member and elder of the Concordia Lutheran Church of Oak Harbor for many years. Mark loved owning, riding and maintaining a large collection of motorcycles, including his current Harley Davidson, his Yamaha touring bike and numerous dirt bikes. He enjoyed repairing cars and fixing anything. He was a mechanic at heart.

He also had a very soft spot in his heart for his dogs and the Green Bay Packers.

Mark is survived by his loving family, wife Robin of Oak Harbor, son Mark Jr. of Spokane and daughter Sarah of Oak Harbor and by one sister Diane Albright of Racine, WI and one brother Doug Albright and his wife Robin of Winnebago, IL. Funeral services for Mark Albright will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 10:00am at Wallin Funeral Home with Pastor Mark Hanson of the Concordia Lutheran Church officiating. Military honors will follow under the auspices of the NAS Whidbey Island Honor Guard. Cremation will follow with private family interment. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories and condolences at the Book of Memories hosted by Wallin Funeral Home at www.wallinfuneralhome.com

Puzzle 1 (Easy, difficulty rating 0.41)

The evening ended on a happy note for the widower. But the next morning he was troubled.

1

Did she say Yes or did she say No? He could not remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank.

He remembered asking the question but for the life of him could not recall her response. With fear and trepidation, he picked up the phone and called her.

First, he explained that he could not remember as well as he used to.

Then he reviewed the past evening.

As he gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her.

“When I asked if you would marry me, did you say Yes or did you say No?” “Why you silly man, I said Yes. Yes, I will. And I meant it with all my heart.”

The widower was delighted. He felt his heart skip a beat.

Then she continued. “And I am so glad you called because I couldn’t remember who asked me!”
