Virginia (Crewes) Schaub

THOMAS H. ASMUS Thomas Henry Asmus, age 71, was called home to the Lord on December 28, 2013, surrounded by his family. He was born September 11, 1942 in Wyandotte, Michigan to Henry and Ruth Asmus. He was raised in Wyandotte, graduating from high school in 1960. Following graduation, Tom enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age 17 and began a 30 year military career.

Tom was sent to Beeville, TX and on to Memphis. His first duty station was aboard NAS Whidbey. On his time off, Tom visited Cranberry Lake, where he met a young, single life guard, Sherry Halbert. Romance blossomed, and one year later, Tom and Sherry were married.

Tom was transferred to Corpus Christi. Tom took advantage of the GI Bill and began flying lessons. He received his Private Pilot’s license and instrument rating, as well as his instrument and flight instructor rating.

Flying became Tom’s passion.

After a brief transition to Indianola, MS, Tom was assigned to the USS Inchon, where he was selected as Sailor of the Year. Tom went on the NAS Kingsville, TX and in 1977, returned to NAS Whidbey, which become home for the Asmus family. Tom had completed tours in Vietnam and was selected as a Limited Duty Officer.

This would have meant a move to the East Coast and uprooting his family, which he did not wish to do, so he turned down the commission.

Tom retired in 1991 as an Aviation Technician Command Master Chief (E-9). Tom was not one to sit idly in retirement, so he soon began work for Alaska USA Credit Union, working in telephone services and then property management.

Tom then accepted the one job he dreamed of, working for Seattle Pacific University, first as Property Manager and then as Manager of the Conference Center, at Camp Casey, a position he held until his eventual retirement.

Tom was a longtime member of the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, serving as Treasurer of the Wealth and Endowment Stewardship Committee. He was former President of the NAS Whidbey Flying Club. He loved outdoor activities, including boating, water skiing, hunting and fishing, gardening and working as a silversmith.

Tom’s greatest love was his family.

Tom is survived by his wife Sherry, at the family home, by his mother Ruth Asmus of Oak Harbor and by five children and their spouses: Dana Chambers (Richard) of Gig Harbor, Tanya Asmus of Mercer Island, Eric Asmus of Seattle, Susan Mays (Adrian) of Seattle, and Chad Asmus (Kristen) of Charlotte, NC. Eight grandchildren also survive: Ashleigh Curdy (Bryant) of Pensacola, FL, Kaitlin Chambers-Mills (Joshua) of Beale AFB, Nicholas Chambers and Madeline Chambers, both of Gig Harbor, Isabella, Fletcher and Sophia Stribling, all of Mercer Island, and Indigo Mays of Seattle and one sister Judy Western (Phillip) Port Charlotte, FL. Memorial services for Tom Asmus were held at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, Oak Harbor on Saturday, January 4, 2014 at 11:00am with Pastor Hallack Greider officiating.

EILEEN M. SEVERNS Eileen M. Severns passed away with her family by her side on December 28, 2013. She will be deeply missed by her son Bob Severns, sister Elizabeth Plant, and many family members and wonderful friends who were there until the end.

Eileen was born August 5, 1921. She met and married Tom, the love of her life, who preceded her in death as did their daughter Janet at the age of 15.

Eileen believed in the efforts of hard work, she retired as a Claims Adjuster for Safeco Insurance Company while also raising her family and working the small family farm.

WILLIAM “SKIP” AUGLE William Joseph “Skip” Augle, age 67, died suddenly at his home in Oak Harbor on January 1, 2014. Skip was born June 6, 1946 in Chicago, Illinois to William and Mary Augle. He grew up in Honey Creek, WI, attending elementary school and completed high school in Burlington, WI. During the summer months, he worked on many of the area farms. Following graduation from high school, Skip enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving more than 30 years and retiring as a Master Chief Avionics Technician (E-9).

The Navy sent him to Great Lakes Training Center and then school at Pensacola and Memphis. In 1967, he arrived at NAS Whidbey. He returned to B School in Memphis in 1970 and 1971. Then it was back to Whidbey, where he spent the next 21 years. Skip retired on October 1, 1995.

Following retirement, Skip went to work for the Oak Harbor School District as a maintenance worker and then began work as a Security Officer at the Texaco Refinery in Anacortes, a position he held until retirement in June of 2013.

Skip had a passion for playing golf. He also enjoyed working in his yard, caring for his two cats and feeding the wild birds. The most important thing in Skip’s life was his wife Colleen. He loved spending time with her, taking weekend trips and going to the movies. His heart was broken when Colleen died, also on January 1, two years ago.

Skip is survived by two sisters, Sharon Augle and Roberta Augle, both of Honey Creek, Wisconsin and by two brothers, Pat Augle of Elkhorn, WI and Michael Augle and wife Sherry of Clairmont, FL. He was preceded in death by one sister Terry Bobula.

MARIE PAULE COMBETTES Marie Paule Combettes died January 4, 2014 at Careage of Whidbey at the age of 91. She was born November 13, 1922 in Bayonne, France to Alexander and Clemence Pinsolle. She was married to renowned Chef Jean Paul Combettes in Montpellier, France on March 4, 1948.

The first daughter, Muriel was born with a critical heart condition, which the French doctors were unable to care for, so Jean Paul sold everything and brought his family to the United States and the Cleveland Clinic. Two years and two heart surgeries later, Muriel was on the road to recovery.

In 1954, the family moved to San Francisco, where Jean Paul served as a chef at the Saint Francis Hotel. Marie was a stay-at-home mother, caring for her family. In 1960, the family took up residence in Reno, Nevada. In 1976, the family arrived in Oak Harbor, where Jean Paul served as Chef for Kasteel Franssen. Jean Paul died in 2007. With failing health, Marie moved to Careage of Whidbey.

Marie is survived by three children, Muriel O’Brien of Tacoma, Audrey Combettes of Mount Vernon and John Combettes of Cape Coral, Florida and by two siblings Simone Pinsolle of Bayonne, France and Jean Pinsolle of Marson, France.

Funeral Mass for Marie Combettes was celebrated at St. Augustine Catholic Church, Oak Harbor with Rev. Paul Pluth, JCL as Celebrant on Saturday, January 11, 2014.

Rites of Committal followed at Maple Leaf Cemetery with a reception in the Parish Hall.

Loving mother and grandmother Virginia Ann (Crewes) Schaub passed away suddenly at home in Oak Harbor on Sunday, January 5, 2014, from heart failure. She was born Virginia Ann Sutherland in Ettersburg, California, on January 13, 1925, the youngest of nine children of Dora and Robert Sutherland. Her parents operated a shake mill in the Redwoods of Northern California, and Virginia graduated from high school in Rio Dell, and then moved to San Francisco during World War II to work as a telephone operator. She met Jim Crewes at a USO dance there and they were married soon after, just prior to Jim, a Navy CPO, being sent back out to war.

Together, they raised four daughters throughout being stationed at Seattle, WA, Honolulu, HI, Alameda, CA, and Oak Harbor, WA. Virginia was a long-time member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and the North Whidbey Riding Club, spending many hours helping at the North Whidbey Stampede, helping her husband with his business, Jim’s Garage, and being a devoted mother to four daughters, all of whom graduated from Oak Harbor High School. In 1970, the winning Whidbey News Times’ Mother’s Day letter contest for “My Mom is the Greatest” was penned by youngest daughter Bonnie in honor of her mother, then Virginia Crewes, which noted her vitality, her smile, and her love of life. That same year, the Seattle Times included their newly finished log home on Swantown Road in a Sunday pictorial spread, of which Virginia was very proud. Virginia worked at the Whidbey Naval Air Station as a civil servant until her retirement in 1982.

After Virginia and Jim divorced, Virginia remarried Bob Schaub, a retired Navy Commander. They spent many years traveling and boating around the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and even overseas, until ill health prevented Bob from further travel. Virginia learned how to scuba dive after retiring and loved to dive in Baja and Florida. Although dementia had dimmed her memory over the past few years, she was able to spend her last weeks of life visiting her beloved daughters and their families in both Oregon and Washington, and watching the Space Needle firework display on TV with her daughter Jamie, who cared for her along with granddaughter Tia Casimire in Oak Harbor.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents and all eight siblings – brothers Robert, Ben, and Ray, and sisters Helen, Dorothy, Florence, Frances, and Barbara, her daughter Nance Dawn Jordan, and recently by her husband Bob Schaub. She is survived by her daughters Joyce (Hal) Pawson of Portland, OR, Jamie (Gary) Boyer of Oak Harbor, WA, and Bonnie (Peter) Rice of Maple Valley, WA, 9 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren, as well as step-daughter Sandy Maurinas and her family in New York State. A combined burial service for Virginia and Bob Schaub will be performed at the Tahoma National Cemetery in Covington, WA, at a later date.

VIOLET ROXANN DUNNTERRY Violet Roxann Dunn-Terry passed away at Providence Hospital in Everett, WA, on Jan. 8, 2014. Roxann, as she preferred to be called, was born July 17, 1953, at the Navy Dispensary at the Sea Plane Base in Oak Harbor, the first child of Lawrence “Wess” Dunn and Reta M. Elwess.

Her childhood was full of medical challenges and on June 13, 1967, she had open heart surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center to correct a congenital heart defect. She attended Showalter Elementary School and Tyee High School in SeaTac. In July 1969, Roxann’s family moved back to Oak Harbor. She graduated from Oak Harbor High School June 7, 1971, and was a four-year Seminary student.

Later, she attended the Salt Lake City College of Dental Assistants. After graduation on May 31, 1972, she worked for Daniel Estlery in Oak Harbor for the next two years.

Roxann met her future husband Jim Terry (AKA Tim Clarke), an enlisted man at NAS Whidbey Island, at a church picnic at Deception Pass Park in the summer 1972. He proposed to her at Cap Sante Park in Anacortes on Sept. 26, 1973. They were married in the Oakland Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints on Feb. 23, 1974. They would have been married 40 years next month.

To them were born four children Daniel Lyall Clarke (1974), Amanda Catherine Clarke (1977), Anna Elizabeth Terry (1978) and Julia Mae Clarke (1990). Two daughters, Amanda Catherine and Julia Mae died at birth.

Married life took Roxann to Provo, UT (1975-1978); Great Lakes and Waukegan, IL (1979-1985); and back to Oak Harbor in 1985. Roxann was proud of her 14 years as a Seminary teacher and loved the scriptures.

One of her favorite sayings was “If you’re too busy to read the scriptures, then you’re just too busy.”

In 1991, Roxann’s husband legally changed his name from Timothy Clarke to James Terry (his birth name).

Following his lead, she changed her last name to the hyphenated Dunn-Terry to honor her father who had no sons.

Roxann was the Program Coordinator for the Oak Harbor Senior Center, where she has worked since 1989. Roxann’s favorite things include her children Danny Clarke and Beth Terry and granddaughter Valerie (the Princess), friends, church, arts and crafts of almost every kind, reading, writing, concerts, theater, travel (she was especially fond of Hawaii, New England and Nova Scotia), moose, crab cruises and chocolate.

Roxann is survived by her husband James Terry, son Daniel Clarke and daughter-in-law Stephanie Clarke, daughter Anna “Beth” Terry, Sister Myrna Jensen (Mrs. Bob Jensen), Weslene Mulks (Mrs. Mike Mulks), Michele Hill (Mrs. Gary Hill), a granddaughter Valerie Gerdes and numerous nephews and nieces.

She was predeceased by her mother Reta Sweeney, father Wess Dunn, step-father Chuck Sweeney, daughter Amanda Catherine Clarke, and daughter Julia Mae Clarke.

The family is asking that memorials be made to the O. H. Senior Center, one of Roxann’s favorite causes.

Checks should be made out to The Oak Harbor Senior Center Foundation and mailed to 51 SE Jerome Street, Oak Harbor, WA 98277. For more information call the Center at 360-279-4580.

The holidays, I am glad to report, were surprisingly calm and presented a welcome break.

According to the Wrapping Paper Rule, the more paper you use, the more it costs you.

That yardstick may need to be revised, considering the popularity of must-have wallet-sized electronics. I was just glad to see so many glowing faces as we took time for a cup of fellowship coffee after church services.

Every nationality seems to have quaint traditions for the darkest time of the year. They have been observed for years and will go on long after we are dead. I have observed the Dutch, an industrious and proud group, to find that they are especially faithful, as though protecting a legacy in danger of vanishing. I’ll get back to the Dutch in just a minute.

Names of new officers for WICMOAA are President Peter Fleming (LtCol USAF Ret); first VP Jim Patton (Capt USN Ret); second VP Jim Cloore (Col USA Ret); secretary David Cohick (LtCmdr USNR Ret); Lieutenant Roger Weber (Lt USN Former). Among directors are Trish Rose, JR Russell, David Sullivan, Ashton Haynes, Dan Wright and Larry Moses, immediate past president.

Their evening of camaraderie ended but the coming days will find members bird-dogging the legislature to oppose military benefit changes that are inconsistent with service career sacrifices, unpopular cuts to COLA and holding retirement pay until age 65, among other issues. Simply put, such measures are unacceptable. If you would like more information onWICMOAA membership, please call Cloore at 321-5420.

Make room for olie bollen Now let’s go back to the Dutch around us.

Did anyone spend the New Year as the Dutch volks do? Did you hang up your voorschoot (apron) to serve olie-bollen (golf ball-size doughnuts)?

These are some of the nicest people who ever came ashore down by the Secret Spring on the north side of the Seaplane Base, and you’ve probably wondered about all those Dutch names, many of them on street signs.

There are the van Slagerens, the pioneer Van Wieringens, Vanden Haaks and Spoelstras.

“Stra” and “ma” are found on the ending of such names as Boonstra, Fakkema, Zylstra and Reipma, all from the province of Friesan.

Peter Fleming of Anacortes was introduced as new president of the local WICMOAA. I heard his soft voice mention such key words as “challenges,” “ethics” and “high standards,” perhaps intending to excite the mind and focus on bringing in new members by inviting

The group does not meet in November or December, where there is already too much to do. They meet at San Remo Restaurant on Midway Blvd. and will have their first meeting of 2014 there on Jan. 23, the fourth Thursday,

The importance of tradition and continuity was clear at an installation dinner meeting for the Whidbey Island Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America. Members and their guests met in the NAS Whidbey Island Officers’ Club on Thursday, Jan. 9. Even there, some who have been part of the group practically since its beginning contemplate spending more time on other interests and travel, moving over to let younger members bring their vitality and fresh ideas to work.

Letters to the Editor Editor, There is a lot of confusion about the arctic blast that has caused so much trouble in the eastern US lately. Some who don’t differentiate weather and climate see it as rationale to dispute global warming. So to clarify. Definitions: “weather”a local, short term (days) event. “Climate”global and long term (decades). Now, while pipes froze in Tennessee, bats were falling from the tress and kangaroos collapsing in the outback as the temperature hit 123 degrees in Australia. In Brazil it was 120 degrees forcing Zoo keepers to feed their charges popsicles. Russia and Alaska are warmer then usual as well. So, is this a trend? You decide. I grew up in Michigan. These polar vortexes (we called them blizzards) used to occur every 5 to 10 years. Since 1990 they have become rare. The last one occurred almost 30 years ago. Consider that prior to 2000, there were an equal number of high and low temperature records set. In the first decade of this century that ratio went to 2:1 in favor of high temperatures. Since 2010, the ratio has climbed to 10:1. Recall that 2012 was the hottest year on record for the US. 2013 was a record hot year for Australia. Planting zones are moving north and new colors added to weather maps to reflect the warming globe.

Typhoon Haiyan set a record for meteorological violence. So, why should we care?

While the climate denial machine continues to sew the seeds of doubt and reassure us that all is well, there is no denying that our polar ice cap is shrinking. In fact, it is shrinking so fast that we will likely see an ice free arctic by 2016. Trouble will follow because it is our planet’s sunshade. As it shrinks the heating of the ocean is accelerating. A University of Alaska study recently reported that global warming is causing methane to be released from the arctic twice as fast as anticipated. There is a lot of methane frozen as hydrates in the shallow Arctic Ocean and locked in the permafrost.

This is deeply concerning because methane is 30 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than CO2 but, 86 times more potent over a 20 year period. The Arctic Methane Emergency Group fears that we are headed for a methane eruption similar to the one that triggered the Permian mass extinction 252 million years ago. That eruption led to an astounding increase in global temperature of 5 degrees C in just 13 years.

This could happen by mid-century. At that time 96% of marine life and 70% of land animals went extinct. Ponder that for a moment then consider who to trust for scientific information, Donald Trump and the folks at Fox News or the IPCC and National Academy of Sciences, established by Abe Lincoln to advise the country on scientific matters, 10% being Nobel laureates?

Hmmm? Clearly we are roaring toward a precipice but, too willing to be convinced that there is no need to put on the brakes.

Sound Waters – All Things Puget Sound and Those Who Love Them On Saturday, February 1, the 19th annual Sound Waters event will bring together over 500 curious and passionate folks. From all age groups and walks of life, the unifying draw is a love for Puget Sound and the desire to pass it on for future generations to enjoy. Sound Waters began almost 20 years ago, after the first Beach Watchers organization was started on Whidbey Island, with WSU Extension Service drawing together volunteers passionate about keeping the waters of Puget Sound vibrant.

The 2014 Sound Waters keynote address will be given by William Steele, a 20 year veteran of the University of Washington Seismology

Lab, who will talk about the Cascadia Fault Zone, earthquake hazards and efforts to build an effective early warning system. You may recall last March, Whidbey Island made the news when a large slide moved a house down the bluff and several front yards 500 feet wide disappeared into the sea. That occurred without an earthquake. What will result all around the shores of Puget Sound when an 8 or 9 scale earthquake releases the tension that has been building in the Cascadia Fault Zone?

The keynote begins the day and is followed by three sessions featuring a choice of 65 classes on every topic related to life in and near the Sound: ocean acidification and sea level rise; local history; Native culture and traditions; basic fishing techniques; the plants, animals and insects that share our environment; and efforts to monitor and maintain healthy watersheds and coastal marine waters. The topics range from baleen whales to dragonflies. In response to the Ledgewood slide last March, there are classes on coastal geology (bluffs and beaches), an intermediate class on Whidbey landslide hazards, and a class on emergency preparedness. Birders can enjoy classes on “feathered architecture” or bald eagle ecology, plus a class just on The Grebes. Practical skills can be learned in crabbing, salmon fishing, septic tank care, and gardening. Classes average 20-30 students. Past attendees have been enthusiastic in their praise for the classes and the wealth of information offered.

Sound Waters will take place at the Oak Harbor High School on February 1, 2014. Registration cost is $40 per person, with a discounted rate of $25 for students and active military.

Certified teachers may earn 5 clock hours of continuing education credit through Washington State University. To see the full class listing, lunch options, schedule and registration information, please go to the Sound Waters website, www.beachwatchers.net/soundwaters. Online registration opened January 4, 2014. You may request a registration form by telephoning (360)678-7837.

“Blessed Are the Peace Makers” Celebrate the Witness of Martin Luther King, Jr. On Monday, January 20, the day set aside to honor the nonviolent witness of Martin Luther King, Jr., the St. Augustine’s Episcopal Peace Fellowship will sponsor the ninth annual Whidbey Island “Blessed be the Peace Makers” Martin Luther King community event. The service will be held at St. Augustine’s commencing at 1:00pm, preceded by salads and beverages served from 12:00pm to 12:45pm in the church parish hall.

The service will feature an interactive dialog with readings from the pews by St. Augustine’s Episcopal Peace Fellowship members and Whidbey youth. This year’s topic will be the “Children’s March” or as a historian of the Civil Rights Movement has referred to it, the “Children’s Miracle.” The Children’s March occurred in May 1963 as part of the campaign to remove discriminatory segregation laws and practices in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham was the key to ending legal segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Birmingham was the most rigidly segregated city in the country.

A racist Safety Commissioner, “Bull” Conner, a police force filled with active KKK members, and numerous bombings - black residents called the city “Bombingham” - maintained the system of racial segregation.

The campaign, led by Dr. King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, used the weapons of nonviolent marches, civil disobedience and economic boycotts to ultimately bring an end to this brutal racist system. The goal was to fill the jails with nonviolent protestors. The campaign nearly failed because of the reluctance of adults to go to jail. Adults were the family breadwinners and being jailed would mean the loss of employment and other reprisals. However, youth were not employed and they could fill jails. High school age and younger had a job - to fill the jails. This was

“Children’s Miracle.” Marching out of the 16th Street Baptist Church, the youth, maintaining a nonviolent discipline, faced with dignity fire hoses and police dogs. Through television the nation observed both their courage and the rightness of the cause. Birmingham was eventually forced to end segregation and the Kennedy administration was pressured into introducing to Congress what became the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

At the “Blessed Are the Peacemakers” celebration, Karl Olsen, the Trinity Lutheran Music Minister, will again lead the singing of Civil Rights anthems and Afro American spirituals.

ICTHUS Trinity Lutheran youth choir will also perform.

Childcare will be provided. Families and youth are encouraged to attend.

with Jim Freeman

After several days of feeling cold, it finally dawned on me why.

Every time I speak, all my hot air is being released.

While such actions may not affect global warming, it is quite possible those within listening distance will be forced to scatter.

Spacing Out in the Space Museum Last Friday’s standing room only opening reception of the event listed on the cover of last week’s Whidbey Weekly was more proof positive of why we live here.

We all really like and respect one another, no matter how we vote, where we church, or why we easement.

Richard Evans, star of stage, screen, and, most recently, the walls of the Bayview Cash Store on South Whidbey, brought out the well-read and wellbred for two hours of fun, frolic and fantasy.

With Bloom’s Wines, Tres Gringos, Basil Café, Fine Balance Imaging Studios and the Queen’s Buns all within indoor walking distance of the Evans art exhibit, we were all fishing a stocked pond of delightful and delectable foods, beverages and art.

While Michael J. Pollard of Bonnie and Clyde fame, and Corey Allen of Rebel Without a Cause fame were not seen in attendance, both were mentioned in passing as Evans moseyed through the crowd autographing biscotti for the paparazzi.

Evans’ show continues through the 2nd of February.

Hollywood Squares Revisited One of the greatest TV shows of my youth was Hollywood Squares. If you do not remember the show, imagine celebrities seated in individual cubicles, stacked like building blocks, in three rows of three.

Peter Marshall was the host who asked the questions of the celebrities who were trying to fool the contestants and entertain the audience with their responses.

As I recall, the show aired about nine in the morning, but the humor may have been better served afterhours. Thanks to Whidbey Weekly reader Jo Evans, no relation to Richard, but she is his wife, for sharing these past moments of side-splitting splendor.

Q. Do female frogs croak?

A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.

Celebrities we spotted in attendance included Hollywood casting director Jo Evans, fiber optic entrepreneurs Tonya and George Henny, actress/comedienne Lynn Hayes, Hometown Hero and humanitarian Nancy Nordoff, actor/teacher/writer Shelley Hartle, artist/lobbyist Mike McVay, humorist arborist Elliott Menashe, undercover preacher Pat McVay, recording artist Freddie Butterworth, actor and benefactors Jim and Gay Scullin, spiritual healers Sophie and Tom Churchill, space explorer Ken Church, dancing violinist Talia Toni Marcus, Ivan the Poet, stone sculptor Hank Nelson, internationally known bronze guru Georgia Gerber and Rural Character singer/ songwriter/musician/artist Randy Hudson, Hollywood wardrobe supervisor Sharon Jangaard and spider expert, Dr. Robert Jangaard, Professor Andy Gilbert of the South Whidbey Science Fund, aerialists Anne and Don Zontine, movement instructor and gardening goddess Christine Tasseff, fabric artist Larkin Van Horn, wordsmith and Keeper of the Didactic, G.

STILL TALKING

Roxann’s husband Jim Terry (AKA Tim Clarke) proposed to her at Cap Sante Park in Anacortes. They would have been married 40 years next month. She is survived by four children. Two daughters died at birth.

from 3-5PM. Those who wish to may stay for the Thursday Pasta/Pizza Night and continue the gezelligheid (companionship).

Jan Ellis says there are usually about a dozen koffie drinkers who spice things up with stories about their heritage and where they or parents came from. Points are marked on the map of the Netherlands to show locations.

Local news and events are discussed and right now, the suggestion is on the floor to name the City of Oak Harbor as a sister city. This and en alsomeer (everything else) are also discussed.

Remembering Roxann She was only 61. We never expected she would leave so soon.

Those who worked with and knew Roxann Dunn-Terry were stunned with the news of her passing on Jan. 8. As program coordinator of the Senior Center in Oak Harbor, she loved helping customers with their requests and they loved her service with a smile.

Roxann edited the monthly insert in Whidbey Weekly called “Second Wind,” a supplement with content centered on retirees to help them put more zing into their senior years.

She loved writing her column and seeing the finished product each month.

She was born Violet Roxann on July 17, 1953 at the old Navy Dispensary at the Navy’s Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor. Her parents were Lawrence “Wess” Dunn and Reta M. Elwess.

Early on she had health challenges and in 1967, had open heart surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center to correct a congenital heart defect.

In July 1969, Roxann’s family moved back to Oak Harbor where she graduated from Oak Harbor High School Class of 1971. Roxann was a four-year Seminary student. She attended the Salt Lake City College of Dental Assistants and after graduation, worked for Daniel Estlery in Oak Harbor.

A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.

Q. True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years.

A. George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes.

Q. You’ve been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a woman?

A. Don Knotts: That’s what’s been keeping me awake.

Q. According to Cosmopolitan, if you meet a stranger at a party and you think he is attractive, is it okay to come out and ask him if he’s married?

Some of her favorite things were travel, theater and chocolate. The family asks that memorials be made to the O. H. Senior Center, one of Roxann’s favorite causes.

Checks should be made out to The Oak Harbor Senior Center Foundation and mailed to 51 SE Jerome Street, Oak Harbor, WA 98277. For more information, call the Center at 360-279-4580.

The mouse that roared It has been a long time since I banished David Kreig from my living room. Those Sunday afternoons, watching interceptions thrown with such style, made my stomach acid boil. It had to stop. Besides, I ruined all the TV Guides within reach and that was a waste of good trees.

Puzzle 1 (Medium, difficulty rating 0.48)

Seriously, I have not been this excited about football since Steve Largent reached for (and caught) impossible passes lesser players would have fumbled. Not Steve.

With the win Saturday over New Orleans’ Saints, Seattle football is at the brink again. I think they can do it, don’t you? At least I have a No. 12 jersey to show for a stellar year.

A favorite moment was the unbelievable 31-yard touchdown by running back Marshawn Lynch (24). The guy’s got class. Give him all the Skittles he wants.

I’d love to have your feedback on how this column fits into your life. If it doesn’t, I need to know that, too. Tell me what you like and what you don’t. Once in awhile it’s good to ask the people you serve, “How’d we do?”

I hear from those who say I must have read their minds, the subject matter was right on.

Preventing Salt Damage It’s 5pm on a sunny afternoon in late august and it’s a pink year! You and your 3 buddies have just put the last fish in the boat to limit out everyone on board! A couple of you even got lucky and pulled off the trifecta of Northwest Salmon fishing with a Chinook and a Coho in your 4 fish bag limits! You’ve had a great day of fishing but now the work begins.

In addition to cleaning all those beautiful fish, we have to clean up our boat and gear. If done properly this is no little task.

OK, first of all, we’re not going to get into motor flushing, or washing down your boat and trailer. We really hope that you have been doing that at a minimum to this point. Instead let’s talk about the things that aren’t really part of the boat but make a fishing boat what it is, the things we often forget, such as rods, reels, tools, flashers or dodgers, and even your lures and hooks. Most of the components on fishing rods, reels and gear are designed to be resistant to salt water corrosion, however there are always exceptions and even the heartiest metals that are made to deal with the rigors of salt water will incur some damage over prolonged exposure and use if not maintained properly. Shooting it with the hose isn’t always good enough if you want your equipment to last.

The two basic things we are going to use are cleaners and lubes. There are a lot of products on the market that do a great job at cleaning out and even, to some extent, preventing salt crystals from attaching themselves to surfaces of your equipment. For the purpose of this article we will refer to these as “Blue Juice” as most are some shade of blue. There are a lot of “lubes” and oils out there, with this in mind make sure that whatever you use on your reel to lube it is not in fact a solvent. Although some products used to break up and prevent rust deposits on ferrous metals are considered lubricants, many of them are in fact solvents.

Most reels have washers, seals, gaskets, and often other parts made of plastics that can deteriorate when solvents are applied. Not to mention monofilament and fluorocarbon lines.

One type of lubricants often overlooked in the fishing world are the CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, Preservative or Protector) lubes. CLP lubes, such as Break Free or Frog Lube, are common place in the firearms industry, formulated to clean off carbon, mineral, rust, and corrosion deposits and bond to the surface of the metals providing a protective barrier making it more difficult for minerals like salt to adhere to surfaces.

When cleaning your gear - i.e. rods, reels, tools, tackle, etc. - a fresh water rinse doesn’t get all of the salt off, even if you are using “Blue Juice”. Use 3 to 4 gallons of water with 1 tsp. of dish soap or ¼ cup of “Blue Juice” as a cleaning solution. With a small rag or towel, gently wipe down any metal surface and rinse it. If you are not going to use a CLP product, wipe it down with cleaning solution again and don’t rinse it. Leaving the cleaning solution on will let it coat the surface to help protect it.

Gently wiping the surface will knock loose any salt crystals that have managed to bond to it.

It doesn’t take much to free salt from the surface. For rods wipe any metal including guide frames. Tools and tackle can be submerged and washed in a bucket of cleaning solution.

Washing your tackle also removes scents.

Some scent gels and jellies can spoil and sour over time and this insures that you have fresh scent on the next time. You don’t have to rinse the cleaning solution off of your tools and tackle unless you are going to apply CLP. Remember CLP is a lube, soap attacks oil and grease, so they don’t really get along.

Most reels, with exception of a few such as reels with electronic line counters, can safely be submerged in the washing solution or clean fresh water, sloshed around and operated while submerged so the salt water is flushed from anyplace it could have reached. Yes, the soaps in the cleaning solutions can clean out some of the grease and oils on internal operating surfaces of reels, but that’s why you should use a very diluted mix. It is also why you should service your reel frequently using a CLP product. Leaving salt to lay on the bearing and bushing surfaces of your reel will ruin it faster than removing some of the oils and all of salt.

We recommend placing a few drops of CLP between all moving surfaces of your reel after washing. Make sure you clean and lube all your gear especially when you are putting the gear away for a few months between seasons.

The author admits, this article was written because he learned the hard way what NOT to do before learning what TO do. Hopefully it will save some of you a lot of heart ache and money.

I know that you probably had an unhappy childhood, but… When you get everything out in the open, it’s not as bad as you imagine it. You will also discover people treat you differently, and the constant bullying will end.

ChiCken little And the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

Dear Astrologer, My coworkers and I have this supervisor we have nicknamed Little Hitler. He is a total dictator. I am wondering what makes creepy people like him enjoy pushing the rest of us around? Some of the things this guy does are so unnecessary. I wish I could give you details, but it might come back on me. It also seems I get bullied more than others, and not just by him. What makes me a target for creeps?

Dear Astrologer, Because I work with children, it has occurred to me to ask whether a birth chart of a child can show the parent whether the child will have a propensity towards addictions, or crimes etc. If it did show these things inherent in a child, it seems the parent would want to know ahead of time so they could guide the child even more towards being a good person and adjusted adult, perhaps even seeking therapy when needed.

What can you tell us, your readers, about this that might be enlightening to the parents? And help the children to be the best they can be and become healthy adults.

Thank you, I really enjoy reading your column.

Picked On Born December 12, 1988, at 6:45 P.M. in Portland, Oregon Dear Picked On, Life paints some people with a bulls-eye, it is true. Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline. Are you surprised to learn that the hand doing the painting is your own?

Planets aligned in certain patterns predict human behavior so reliably, they’ve been given names.

One common pattern, present in your own birth chart, is called “Deceit.” It means that you bury your negative thoughts and emotions, deceiving yourself into believing you don’t have them.

In so doing, you are painting yourself with a bulls-eye.

The problem occurs when you encounter another deceiver who is also an aggressor.

Goose-stepping Little Adolphs can sense the buried emotions within you, because they have

Dear Just Curious, Well-trained astrologers recognize the red flags of extreme behavior, yes. No behavior or condition exists that was not mapped out astrologically thousands of years ago. Crime, dementia, poverty, rage, adultery and addiction are all cataloged by planetary pattern, as well as wealth, prosperity, abundance, happiness and many more.

Can an existing pattern be changed by early awareness of its existence?

Curiously, the simple answer is no. Like a night light in a dark room, astrology illuminates the path, but it does not change it. The table in the room on which one might have stubbed a toe becomes a welcome handhold for balance, but it remains a table.

If the astrology says Billy is prone to substance abuse, accept that he will be drawn to experiment and don’t wait for him to stub his toe

on street-sources. Get him high on life. Show him early that the goal of substances—altered consciousness—is freely available in legal, lifesupporting and healthy forms.

Conscious parenting is largely uncharted territory. Thank you for putting it on the chart.

Dear Astrologer, Back in my day, the only thing we knew about the Moon was it could “hit your eye like a big-a pizza pie.” That was before I started reading the Weekly!

Now I understand I have my very own Moon sign. But I don’t know what it is. Tell me about my Moon please.

Astro Newbie Born August 27, 1947, at 5:14 P.M. in Poughkeepsie, New York Dear Astro Newbie, I remember those days! That’s Amore!

Your Moon in the original zodiac is Uttara Ashada, meaning, “The Victory.” This is comparable to modern day Capricorn. It bestows on you all the skill, will power and desire of Capricorn, producing people who are often successful when very young.

Most important to you are deep and meaningful social networks, with emphasis on the quality of the connections. Yours is the Moon of group achievement. Your sign naturally knows the rules of virtue, which include gratitude and the returning of favors when received. In that way you acquire many loyal friends.

Your Moon is in your first house, adding emphasis to the basic traits listed above. You also have a powerful group of ninth house planets giving inspiration to your action.

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that’s-a you!

Dear Astrologer, I think I finally figured out who Chicken Little is, and it’s each one of us, right?

I figured it out when you told someone they would have to defend themselves against their inner Chicken Little, who was going to nip little pieces out of them. Wow, does that

describe me. No matter what I do, I get pecked by thoughts of needing to hurry up, because I should be doing something else. Some days I’d like to find my inner Chicken and tape her beak shut!

I don’t think I was always this way. Twenty years ago, I was much more laid back. Do you see me ever returning to that more placid state?

Heckled by the Chicken Born July 27, 1963, at 1:24 P.M. in Erie, Pennsylvania Dear Heckled by the Chicken, You are exactly right. It’s the inner Chicken of which I write, whose fear in your case comes from a sense of never having enough time.

Causing that is what I call a “hamster wheel” in your horoscope. No matter how fast you run, it is never fast enough, and you never seem to get anywhere.

A hamster wheel is four planets, one each in the four angles of your birth chart. Each planet is responsible for a different area of life, and the fact that each one is on an angle makes it want priority for your attention. I’ve never been the mother of quadruplets at feeding time, but that must be similar. Everywhere you turn, you’re wanted somewhere else.

I think the more placid life you remember was prior to your Saturn period, which has been running for eighteen years. Saturn changes our relationship to time by making it seem there is never enough of it. The good news is Mercury in 2016 takes the baton from Saturn, marking the start of a new and slower period for you.

Oh. How to silence the inner heckler? Use psychology. Tape Colonel Sander’s face on your daily planner.

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.
