MILITARY MUSTER NAS Whidbey Island, Washington

August 21 - August 27, 2014

VP-40 starts overseas deployment

By Lt.j.g. M. J. Cacciapuoti VP-40 Public Affairs

By terryl Lacey A visit to the DEERS/RAPIDS Office at Personnel Support Detachment (PSD), Whidbey Island on Friday, Aug. 1 turned into a frightening situation for a Navy family.

The team of officers, chief petty officers and Sailors of Patrol Squadron 40(VP-40) recently left NAS Whidbey Island for deployment to U.S. 7th Fleet.

Following an exceptional 13-month Inter-Deployment Readiness Cycle, VP-40’s P-3C Orion anti-submarine aircraft and squadron personnel embarked to Kadena Air Base on the island of Okinawa, and Misawa Air Base on the main island of Honshu, Japan. Upon arrival in 7th Fleet, VP-40 assumed responsibilities from VP-46. The Grey Knights returned to NAS Whidbey Island having ended a successful seven-month deployment with Commanding Officer Cmdr. David S. Brinson at the helm.

With recent political and military escalation in Southeast Asia VP-40 will assume a critical role in providing surveillance, reconnaissance and security in the 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR) under Commander Task Force 72.

(Photo by Lt.j.g. John Dever) A U.S. Navy P-3C Orion maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft arrives in Kadena Air Base, piloted by VP-40 Commanding Officer Cmdr.

Erik C. Estenson.

“The entire Fighting Marlin Team is excited for the opportunity to operate forward and excel in the various mission areas that exist in this AOR,� said Cmdr. Erik Estenson, VP-40 Commanding Officer. “We look forward to working closely with the Mad Foxes of VP-5 to create a dominant ASW (anti-submarine warfare) force.�

VP-5, a P-8 Poseidon squadron out of Jacksonville, Fla., will soon be joining the Fighting Marlins in Kadena.

VP-40’s leadership includes Cmdr. Timothy Thompson as the Executive Officer and Command Master Chief Carlos J. Alamo as the squadron’s senior enlisted advisor.

Navy Awards Contract for Aircraft Hangar Modifications Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest awarded a construction contract to Korte Construction for major aircraft hangar modifications needed to accommodate maritime patrol and reconnaissance at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island. “This contact award is another important mile-

stone in the transition to the P8-A for the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Community,� said Capt. Mike Nortier, NAS Whidbey Island’s commanding officer. “This is another indication of the value NAS Whidbey Island has for the Navy’s strategic laydown and bodes well for the installations future.�

The $48,276,440 firm-fixed-price contract will cover the design, modernization and construction of one hangar for the new P-8A Poseidon Multi-Missioned Maritime aircraft as well as an extension to another that will provide an enclosure for the P-3C Orion. Design will begin in summer 2014 and contract completion is set summer 2017.

At about 12:10 p.m., an active duty service-member, his wife and 3-year-old son came to the base for assistance at PSD. While the PSD Site Security Manager.

Olivia Gabamonte was talking to the wife, the wife gave the child a hard piece of peppermint candy.

The child placed the candy in his mouth and a few moments later the candy was stuck in the child’s airway causing the child to start choking.

The mother said, “Help, he is choking. “ The dad lifted the child up and starting shaking the child, but the candy wouldn’t dislodge, and the child was gasping for air and turning colors.

Gabamonte took immediate action by using her palm to hit the child’s back several times and was able to dislodge the candy. After the candy was dislodged, the child appeared to be normal but emergency medical services was still requested.

Paramedics from Whidbey General Hospital arrived and determined that the child did not appear to have any medical issues from the choking and was in good condition. If not for Gabmontes’ calm quick actions this situation could have had a different ending. The Naval Air Station Security Staff, Fire Department and the Whidbey General Hospital paramedics acknowledged that this child was saved due to the quick actions by the father and Gabamonte.

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

In light of all the news lately, we devote this column to laughter and the sharing thereof.

Thanks to whoever thought of all these funny stories, and to whoever was thoughtful enough to take the time to share them.

We are much appreciative of that famous intersection in the fiber optic clouds, where the Internet meets the Public Domain.

The Dutiful Wife A man calls home to his wife and says, “Honey, I have been asked to fly to Cairns with my boss and several of his friends for fishing. We’ll be gone for a long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I’ve been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a 3-day weekend? And, also, would you get out my rod and tackle box from the shed? We’re leaving at 4:30 pm from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! And please pack my new navy blue silk pajamas.�

The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd, but, being the good wife, she does exactly what her husband asked.

Following the long weekend, he comes home a little tired, but, otherwise, looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish.

He says, “Yes! Lots of Coral Trout, some Bara, and a few Sweetlip, but why didn’t you pack my new blue silk pajamas, like I asked you to do?�

The wife replies, “I did, they’re in your tackle box.�

Burial Plans A man and woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, “When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!�

Neighbors feared him. The old man liked the fact that he was feared. Then one evening, he died when he was 98. After the burial, her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, “Aren’t you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?�

The wife said, “Let him dig. I had him buried upside down...and I know he won’t ask for directions.�

Two Nuns Two nuns were shopping at a 7-Eleven. As the duo passed by the cold beer cooler, one sister said to the other, “Wouldn’t a nice cold beer or two taste wonderful on a hot summer evening?�

The second nun answered, “Indeed it would, Sister, but I would not feel comfortable buying beer, since I am certain it would cause a scene at the checkout stand.� “I can handle that without a problem,� the other nun replied, as she picked up a six-pack and headed for the checkout.

LocaLLy operated. than most of the store watches, you went to the train station! Sound a bit funny?

Well, for about 500 towns across the northern United States, that’s where the best watches were found.

Why were the best watches found at the train station? The railroad company wasn’t selling the watches, not at all. The telegraph operator was. Most of the time the telegraph operator was located in the railroad station because the telegraph lines followed the railroad tracks from town to town. It was usually the shortest distance and the right-of-ways had already been secured for the rail line.

Most of the station agents were also skilled telegraph operators and that was the primary way they communicated with the railroad.

They would know when trains left the previous station and when they were due at their next station. And it was the telegraph operator who had the watches.

This was all arranged by “Richard�, who was a telegraph operator himself. He was on duty in the North Redwood, Minnesota train station one day when a load of watches arrived from the East. It was a huge crate of pocket watches. No one ever came to claim them. So Richard sent a telegram to the manufacturer and asked them what they wanted to do with the watches. The manufacturer didn’t want to pay the freight back, so they wired Richard to see if he could sell them. So Richard did.

It didn’t take long for the word to spread and, before long, people other than travelers came to the train station to buy watches.

Richard became so busy he had to hire a professional watch maker to help him with the orders.

That was Alvah. And the rest is history, as they say.

Don’t let your stuff end up here.

Go Green. Support Habitat.

The business took off and soon expanded to many other lines of dry goods. Richard and Alvah left the train station and moved their company to Chicago – and it’s still there.

Yes, it is a little known fact that for a while in the 1880’s, the biggest watch retailer in the country was at the train station. It all started with a telegraph operator, Richard Sears, and his partner, Alvah Roebuck!

Sylvia-Hi, Wanda!

Across from Payless • Hours: Wed - Sat 10-5, Sun 12 noon-4

Wanda-Hi, Sylvia. How’d you die?

Sylvia-I froze to death.

Wanda-How horrible!

Wanda-I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.

Well, of course you could do that, but if you wanted one that was cheaper and a bit better

Saturday, August 23rd

He ordered more watches from the watch company and encouraged the telegraph operators to set up a display case in the station offering high quality watches for a cheap price to all the travelers.

“We use beer for washing our hair,� the nun said. “Back at our nunnery, we call it Catholic shampoo.�

Watch This If you were in the market for a watch in 1880, would you know where to get one? You would go to a store, right?

IN THE GARDENS

He sent a wire to every agent in the system asking them if they wanted a cheap, but good, pocket watch. He sold the entire case in less than two days and at a handsome profit.

That started it all.

Sylvia-It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said, “The curlers are on the house!�

BLUEGRASS

As a matter of fact, they sold more of them than almost all the stores combined for a period of about nine years.

The cashier had a surprised look on his face when the two nuns arrived with a six-pack of beer.

Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, and placed them in the bag with the beer.

Sylvia-So, what happened?

Wanda-I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking.

I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds.

I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

Sylvia-Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer– we’d both still be alive.

Letters to the Editor Editor, I want to express my most sincere appreciation for the numerous volunteers who made the 2014 Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival a success. The Coupeville Festival Association has promoted and hosted the annual Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival for 50 years. The CFA is a non-profit, all volunteer organization consisting of 25 standing committees and 250 plus volunteers. There is no paid staff. All non-operational proceeds go into the 98239 Coupeville area in the form of project grants and scholarships. In December 2013, those annual grants and scholarships totaled $774,000.

The CFA has partner agreements with various Coupeville organizations to help run various areas of the festival. Those partners include: Pacific NorthWest Art School – hosts of the juried art gallery in the Coupeville Recreation Hall; Coupeville Chamber of Commerce – operators of the beer and wine garden in front of the museum; The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club – providers of volunteers to run two parking lots; Coupeville Schools History Day students and Wilbur Purdue whom managed trash and recycle pick-up; The Coupeville Lions Club helped with set-up on Friday and Saturday morning and then tear-down and loadout on Sunday evening; The Coupeville Lions did the set-up and tear-down of nine customer rest stations throughout the festival grounds; The US Navy provided volunteers who helped at many areas of the festival throughout festival weekend.

This festival would not be possible without the continued support of individuals and sponsors from Coupeville. Special thanks and appreciation go to: The City of Coupeville and its employees; Mark Mouw and tellers from People’s Bank (sponsor) for the Sunday evening check-out; Doug Kroon of Knead and Feed (sponsor); Eric Mitten, Windermere Real Estate (sponsor); Whidbey Telcom (sponsor); Walt Blackford at Puget Sound Energy (sponsor); Nathan Corey at Corey Oil; John Tharp at Whidbey Sea-Tac Shuttle for the free shuttle buses between the parking lots; Derek Franzen from Central Electric which kept the electricity running in the food court; Carol Moliter, Big Rock Designs, who managed all production and ads; Dawn Hesselgrave, Branch Business Services, who coordinated multiple committee’s printing needs, Kimberly Hoctor of Handbag Consignment Shop, our Marketing and Social Media Chair; Eric Marshall, publisher of Whidbey Weekly, our festival program, and event coverage in the Whidbey Weekly.

The Coupeville Festival is truly a community event. In some cases, there are third generation volunteers who come “home” to Coupeville to help at the festival. Other volunteers come from Island County communities, the mainland and even as far away as Texas.

I personally want to thank all of the Committee Chairs and their dedicated volunteer teams for their countless hours of work throughout the year that make this great event happen. If I have not mentioned some person or organization, let me apologize now for the oversight. To become a part of this wonderful organization go to our web site www.coupevillefestival.com and click on the Volunteer button.

STILL TALKING

By Eileen Brown

When the late Robin Williams hung out with fellow comedian Jonathan Winters, they entertained each other as much as they did their audience. Winters also suffered the private hell that is depression. Watching them pour it on, I couldn’t decide if it was real or if they just acted crazy.

They were real alright. Williams, found dead last week at just 63, and Winters, who lived to an amazing 89, made us laugh until tears rolled down our cheeks.

Behind their “What’s it to ya?� persona, both men suffered with depression. Before anyone casts a callous remark about their money, lifestyle and other trappings of the rich and famous, remember we can never know how deep another man’s agony goes.

Williams desperately wanted to run away from his darker side. He could no longer feed his jailer, Depression, and to connect it with addiction is like playing tennis with hand grenades. There is a reason for the broken transmission.

Most geniuses have the illness of depression. It’s almost natural in a comedian’s brain, wired as it is. Depression is a way of saying “You cannot see how much I hurt and you never will.� Williams used his personal sadness to add depth to his roles.

He openly discussed his battles with cocaine and alcohol. Interviewed by People magazine in 1988, he said cocaine was a place to hide. He relapsed in 2004 after his friend Christopher Reeves died and Williams checked into an addiction facility in 2009. Williams was greatly affected by his heart surgery and earlier this year, went into treatment to fine tune his sobriety. For all his attempts to hide them, his demons were right there, and even multiplied with a recent diagnosis of early Parkinson’s Disease.

Once again, a star burns out. Too sensitive, too stewed, too depressed. High-powered business people and other creative types seem to attract depression. Perhaps you’ve seen a movie starring Robin Williams and thought scenes were scripted from his own life. An especially haunting film is “What Dreams May Come.� There, beyond that pool of black, steaming goo was a way to sweep his love up into his arms and get to the ever-after land of Heaven, though it’s not called that. Problem arises when his lover throws ice water on the proposal, yet Williams will hear none of it. He is saving her and reclaiming the love lost by neglect and overwhelming sadness.

Other Williams movies are chosen to showcase his amazing talents, movies such as The World According to Garp, Mrs. Doubtfire, Goodwill Hunting and Dead Poets Society.

He starred opposite Robert DeNiro in Awakenings, a story adapted from Oliver Sacks’ set of case histories that begged to be turned into a feature film.

I already know the endings but there are a few special Robin Williams movies I want to see again. When an autumn storm blows, leaving tear stains on my windows, it will be time to say goodbye. He felt every bump in the road of this life. Now he can finally rest.

Here comes the mail!

Sue and Jack Tingstad of Coupeville check their mail box every day. If they didn’t, they might not have noticed a credit card statement didn’t come in as usual.

Sue opened the envelope and saw the interest charge was higher than they are accustomed to paying. Where, she won-

They were just glad to have the original statement in their hands. If it could talk, we might learn where it was on its tour of Whidbey Island.

Postal offenses are taken very seriously, with a minimum fine of several thousand dollars. If it’s not your mail, drop it like a hot potato and let the Postal Service take it from there.

Where’s my Yorkie?

Speaking of mail as we just were, I am embarrassed to say I fell almost 100 percent for a Yorkie puppy scam. If you Google Yorkie scam, it’s all there in its tawdry glory. The background: pastor of a small church is doing mission work in Africa. Before going to their station, puppies were born and naturally, they went along on the soul-saving excursion.

A problem arose when the dogs couldn’t take the weather, and it was decided to return them to the states and make it snappy. They apparently had sensitive bowels which made what puppies do every hour and a half more like every 15 minutes.

I bit. Something told me it was a scam, but I was determined to follow it through to the finish. “Dear Missus, You who wish to adopt one of the charming Yorkie puppies. God bless you for caring for them. All I will need is your telephone number, street address, email address and whatever dollar amount the delivery company indicates will cover the shipment of two very small doggies.�

My eyes searched for script that asked for currency, and for elaborate shipping connections. I was more certain with every slick sentence that this scam had a few miles on it. Exhausted, I quit counting Google’s pages with references to “two darling doggies who cannot stay in Africa, poor babies are losing their health.�

If you are a dog lover, just be cautious in what you think about buying. A simple request for references would have blown the man’s disguise. He didn’t know I require 10 forms of ID and a credit check. I am not easily hoodwinked.

Remember to read the “pastor’s� letter when you Google. It reminds me of mail that winds up in the Manhattan dead letter file. One dusty envelope is addressed “To the Station To Which You Are Now Listening.�

LocaLLy owned.

LocaLLy operated. certain pop music artist whose song you may have sung in karaoke and whose voice you no doubt have on your Golden Oldie CD, to lead us in another experiment related to time travel.

Consider it my tribute to Madeleine L’Engle’s popular children’s book and the forthcoming movie, A Wrinkle In Time.

CHICKEN LITTLE AND THE ASTROLOGER

By Wesley Hallock

O Captain! My Captain!

It may be as you said, once, that the worst thing in life is not ending up alone; it is ending up with people who make you feel alone.

Earth is a funny place. Some are lonely while yet living in a city of a million people. Others know not loneliness though without neighbor or friend. How is that?

Before we start the music, recall carefully that empty can being wrung in Joe’s strong hands.

Remember the folding and pleating of the sides, the wrinkle and twist as he wrung it, and especially how the twist made the ends of the can draw closer together? If time were a beer can, we said, with its two ends a century apart, we may wring the can so tightly that, lo and behold, the two ends meet, thereby achieving time travel. Upon learning this, some readers may even have rushed out to purchase a sixpack of time.

Make no mistake, there is a whole science behind wringing a beer can. There is magic and mystery as well. L’Engle knew this intuitively.

The science is the science of torsion, which is only another word for twist. Please note that in twisting the beer can, the two ends rotate in opposite directions. In the science of time travel this is called counter rotation. This is crucial, for therein lies the magic.

Loneliness is a matter of the heart. A single laugh, felt deeply enough, eases the pain of a thousand tears. A man who we never will meet becomes the friend we will always know.

Who besides L’Engle knew this in 1960?

For millions of us, the lonely and the not so lonely alike, you were such a man. The brilliance of your humor touched us deeply; its happy warmth will endure forever.

The Twist! A dance in which the hips and shoulders twist in opposite directions! Counter rotation. Shades of Joe Sixpack’s beer can.

Good bye, dear friend. Ever will we remember you.

Na-Nu! Na-Nu! In Memory of Robin Williams 1951-2014 Last week we asked Joe Sixpack (did anyone guess the name?) to model the mechanics of time travel for us by wringing his empty beer can like a dishrag. This week, we will ask a

7

Someone apparently did. He was shouting it out for the world: “Come on baby, let’s do the Twist! Come on ba-by, let’s do the Twist!”

And with that fact we arrive at the mystery. Is it mere coincidence that the Chubby Checker and the Twist achieved enormous popularity in 1960, the same year L’Engle completed A Wrinkle In Time? Is it also coincidence that when L’Engle had trouble securing a publisher, and as a result did not see print until 1962, Chubby Checker and the Twist had a revival and topped the charts again, also in 1962? A very interesting wrinkle, indeed. Was someone or something trying to tell us Earth humans something?

In 1962, while singing what we may now

consider to be a time travel song, Chubby was urging us to connect the dots: “Come on let’s Twist again, like we did last summer! Yeaaah, let’s Twist again, like we did last year!” But Chubby, what are we supposed to see?

Chubby’s clue is in the lyrics, “….round and round and up and down we go again!”

‘Up and down we go?’ Say what?

Then Chubby spells it out: “Who’s that flyin’ up there? Is it a bird? (Nooo!) Is it a plane? (Nooo!)

Is it the Twister? (YEAHHH!)” There you have it. Twist and fly. The magic of torsion physics is such that counter-rotating forces cancel out not only time differences, but gravity, as well. Incredibly, the mechanics of time travel and anti-gravity—flying saucers, anyone?–were acted out for us by Mr. Chubby Checker in 1962.

So the original tribute to Madeleine L’Engle and A Wrinkle In Time was the Twist. And it came the first time before the book was even printed.

Tell that to your friends while you’re waiting in line to see the movie.

Dear Astrologer, I feel like I have a guardian angel who keeps me out of trouble. Little things just happen that turn out to be big things in hindsight. For instance, I might change my schedule up or drive a different route for no reason that I can think of at the time, and find out later I avoided an accident. To me that is my angel whispering in my ear. Can you see my angel in the astrology?

Watched Over

for Jupiter. From there he energizes the fifth and ninth houses, both of which have to do with luck and good fortune.

The fact that your angel need only whisper is a sign you are a good listener. My own angel uses a bullhorn.

Dear Astrologer, When I shuffled my tarot deck this morning a card flew out of my hand and landed on the floor. I noted which card it was and returned it to the deck. When I did my card spread, the same card appeared.

Without going into the subject of my inquiry (it’s personal) can you tell me what my planets are showing? I understand it from the perspective of the cards, but I would like an outside opinion from the astrological perspective. And in case you are wondering, the card was the Fool.

Doubly Cautious January 16, 1968, at 5:16 A.M. in Houston, Texas Dear Doubly Cautious, A cycle is ending for you involving something to which you have been deeply devoted. With regard to that thing, it is time to move on now.

This will be a good move. Do not fear it, for it will not bring hurt or disappointment. Something in your ancestry is working to support you in this move. You will gain as a result.

There is a lesson in the Fool card that applies to all. My angel says to tell you I will say more about this next week.

Born March 29, 1951 at 5:19 A.M. in Coral Gables, Florida Dear Watched Over, We all have our angels. I’m sure I force mine to work overtime!

In your case, a strong Jupiter in his own house of Pisces, which happens also to be your rising sign, tells us there are powerful forces directing your life in a good way. The first house, which is to say your rising sign, is the best possible place

MARCIA SPEHAR HALLIGAN Marcia was born August 29, 1947 in Detroit, Michigan. In 1950, her parents sold their grocery store and moved the family to warm Southern California, where her father began a successful career in commercial real estate. Marcia loved California, and always considered it her true home. She spent her formative years in Anaheim and Fullerton, and was a member of the first freshman class at Cornelia Connelly High School in Anaheim, which her father helped to build.

She graduated from Connelly in 1965, and attended Mount St. Mary’s College in Brentwood through her sophomore year. She then married her high school sweetheart, James “Pat” Halligan April 1, 1967, and completed her education at University of California-Santa Barbara, receiving her BA in History in 1972. During her time in Santa Barbara, she was an active member of St. Rafael Catholic Church, where she worked with the youth group and religious education.

In 1973, her husband moved the family to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a visiting professorship at the University of Nebraska. It was in Lincoln where Marcia really began her lifelong journey of ministering in the Catholic Church.

At Blessed Sacrament, she helped run the religious education program and actively participated in various ministrations for the church while holding down a full time job at the Lincoln

Learning Center - one of the first alternative high schools in America. She made many wonderful, lifelong friends in Lincoln.

In 1980, the family moved to beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington, where Pat set up a dental practice in Freeland, and Marcia began what would be nearly 34 years of service to St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley. Beginning as a volunteer for the religious education program in 1980, she was hired by the Parish to be the religious education administrator for the church in 1986. By 1992, she was working full time as the pastoral administrator for the parish, a position she held until her illness in March. In 1998, she earned a Masters in Pastoral Administration from Seattle University and, during her program, did her internship at St. James Cathedral in Seattle, where she met many new friends and colleagues who would enrich her life and profession for years to come.

After the death of her father in 2003, Marcia took over the administration of her parent’s California interests in commercial real estate, managing her family’s properties until her illness. In 2010, she created and funded a professorship in her parent’s name at Seattle University that was dedicated to Interdenominational Studies. This fellowship brought her great joy and pride, and was something she hoped would be a lasting legacy after she was gone.

Marcia loved to travel. She was particularly moved by her trips to Italy, Ireland, Israel, and South Africa - places she always hoped to go back to some day.

She loved to drive, near and far, roadtripping through a better part of this country in her lifetime, and could be frequently seen tearing around the island with the top down in her latest sports car. She loved to read, and had several books going at all times. She loved her cats, who loved her just as much. She loved her family, her friends, and, especially, her God, whom she dedicated her life to unquestionably.

Marcia leaves behind her husband, Pat, her three children, Denisia, Christopher, and Victoria, and a vast community of wonderful friends she valued and loved dearly. Her light will shine brightly in the hearts of the many lives she affected and ministered to for many years to come.

Viewing for family and friends was held at St. Hubert’s Tuesday, August 19 from 9:30 to 11am. A funeral celebration of Marcia’s life was held at St. Hubert Catholic Church, 804 3rd St., Langley, WA. 98260, Tuesday, August 19, at 11 a.m., with Rev. Rick Spicer, Celebrant, followed by a luncheon social in the adjacent church annex, where friends were encouraged to tell their favorite “Marcia” story.

Please visit Marcia’s page in the Book of Memories at www.wallinfuneralhome.com to share memories and condolences. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC, Oak Harbor, WA.

El Cazador: born out of love

By Eileen Brown The entire staff of El Cazador, including Jose Rodriguez and his wife Natasha, representing the second generation of restaurateurs, announce the restaurant’s 32nd birthday this month.

Long a favorite of locals around North Whidbey, it is comforting to be greeted by a friendly staff and giant murals depicting people arriving by carriage and on foot, as in art imitating life.

As your local Dignity MemorialÂŽ provider with over 65 years of combined experience, we are able to offer unmatched services and benefits when it matters most.

Burley Funeral Chapel 4& &MZ 4U t 0BL )BSCPS 360.675.3192 www.burleyfuneralchapel.com

WOODWARD’S TAEKWONDO ACADEMY

Around the corner is yet another mural of a lovely young maiden resting while filling a clay water jug. True she is only a painting, but like El Cazador’s menu, she is familiar but never tiresome.

Say you want 10 friends to enjoy a special meal together. That’s easy. The Ultimate Fiesta Platter includes chimichangas, flautas, nachos, taquitos, sour cream and guacamole. Other platters combine different ingredients to build your special meal for five, eight or 10 hungry friends.

Customers reach a state of relaxation before leaving El Cazador. In just about two hours, they are transported to another time and place to savor authentic Mexican cuisine. Heaven is as close as the first bite and lasts through your last sip from a frosted glass.

Happy Hour menu items are available from 3 to 6PM and 9PM to closing daily. The Cantina’s seven high def TVs are popular through football season and another large screen TV has been added.

Brunch buffet is served Sundays from 9AM to 2PM; Monday, it’s all you can eat tacos, it’s Wings on Wednesday and Tortas on Thursday. In addition, El Cazador can prepare fresh guacamole tableside.
