ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

While accidentally deleting my computer hard drive and its operating system during Labor Day weekend, I recalled Dad’s advice many years ago, back in 11th grade, when I asked him if I should take typing or study hall. “Take study hall, son. You’ll pay people to do your typing.” How right he was. At fifty cents a page, my cash flow in college was always suspect when it came to term paper time. There was a girl named Tex Sherman, from Denton, Texas, who assisted me in deciphering my handwriting, as well as my ibids and op. cits., by typing my college papers. The fact that a mistake free page of Political Science musings cost me as much as a quart of Budweiser was always an emotional challenge. Remembering how Mom could type 120 words a minute, with arthritic fingers, on a manual Royal typewriter, was a reminder last weekend that I need to take a typing class. After thirty plus years of typing newspaper columns with two fingers, I am ready to make the leap. Any typing teachers out there? Maybe nowadays typing is no longer being taught. Maybe today’s kids take classes in thumbing so they can text, tweet, and hitchhike, at will. Having mailed my manual typewriter to my high school buddy, Sam Lukasiak, so he could write his never-to-be-written-novel, I bought a Smith-Corona electric for college. The sound of that electric was enough to make me want to turn up the ringing in my ears. There was something about the hum of the electric typewriter that irritated me. When I was not typing, because I was trying to think of the next word or series of words to type, all I could think about was the Smith-Corona hum I was hearing. It might not have been so bad if the humming sound was in the key of C. Not so. That audio irritation of idle electricity was more the sound of words-in-waiting, or words-in-captivity.

As a cure-all to the non-white-noise of that electric typewriter, I would put a record on my Hi-Fi, or drop a cassette into my portable Radio Shack tape player. If I was depressed, I would put on Dvorak’s New World Symphony to cover up the sound of non-activity. If I was happy, I would put on Benny Goodman. If I was confused, I would listen to Tiny Tim sing “Tiptoe through the tulips”.

The sound of an idle electric typewriter drove me back to three-by-five cards and ball point pens. With less space, and faster writing skills than typing, I was able to knock out a dozen or more three-by-five cards every five minutes. Once I wrote a paper on Trofim Denisovich Lysenko, the great Soviet biologist who got his thrill studying wheat seeds. My term paper was over four hundred, threeby-five cards long. I remember the face on my professor when I brought him my term paper in a shoe box. “What is this, Mr. Freeman?” “Sir, this is my term paper. The power went out at our fraternity house because we did not have enough money to pay the power bill. Being unable to use my electric typewriter, I thought it would be best to finish the assignment in a timely fashion by using the three-by-five cards I had left over from my research.” “Looks like you failed to read the first paragraph of the assignment wherein I indicated that your paper was to be typed, twenty-eight lines per page, double spaced. Three-by-five cards will not be acceptable.”

“Sir, in that case, could I read my term paper cards to you later today, maybe while you eat lunch?” Odds and Ends When one writes non-professionally, for a nonliving, it is imperative to surround oneself with tidbits of local trivia. The following excerpts are from a yet-to-be-written book entitled, Stuff I Just Found That I Thought I Had Put Somewhere Else. Thanks to Wes and his wife Sharon at Snoqualmie Falls Candy Factory & Café for the delicious bacon cheeseburger and chocolate shake I enjoyed last spring, on my way to see Don Williams at the Snoqualmie Casino. Nothing like a good meal to line one’s stomach before an evening of secondary smoke. Wes and his wife are certainly no strangers to Whidbey Island as Wes and his barbershop quartet CHEERS have performed many times over the years, at the Island County Fair, Loganberry Festival, the Eagles, Holmes Harbor Rod n’ Gun, and Frannie Johnson’s Langley living room. Stop by for some fun next time you are headed up, or down, I-90. Snoqualmie Falls Candy Factory & Cafe is a lot cheaper than the casino up the road and offers a much sweeter smell! Thanks to Mark Klug and beagle buddy Benji for the visit this summer at Double Bluff. You were walking one way while I was sitting to the other. It is always a pleasure to put a face with the name of a person whose face I do not recognize until it is too late. Thanks to Billy, owner and founder of Island Concierge in Freeland, for the double pair of work gloves (gants de travail.) Where else can one get bilingual brown jersey work gloves with dotted palms for easy grip for only $2.95 a pair (paire)? It amazes me that Billy can offer such a low price on these gloves, made in China (fabrique en Chine) and imported by a Canadian company by way of Chesapeake, Virginia. At $2.95 a pair, that costs less than thirty cents a finger for protection while lifting, pulling, pushing, or picking. All part of the delightful digital world in which we live, eh? While reading Parade magazine recently, I noticed these tidbits of advice from Parade readers who shared their secrets to a happy marriage. Nothing like a shared secret to get my attention. From Anton and Phyllis Grosz, of San Francisco, married 50 years, “Mutual goals are far more important than mutual interests. It’s not where you come from that matters, but where you’re going.” That could explain my short-lived success at matrimony. Not only did we not know where we were going, we did not know how to get there. From Randy and Adrian Grimes, of Summerville, South Carolina, married 22 years, “Respect each other as individuals. We’re different people with different preferences who happen to be in love.” That reminder gives me pause. It escapes me which preferences are preferable. In fact, when asked in a restaurant, “Which table would you prefer”, I go into a brief panic. I know sooner or later, someone is going to ask me what I want to eat. And, if push comes to shove, I will just ask our wait person what he or she recommends. Remember, one man’s preference is just another man’s bucket list. From David and Yukie Melville, of Salt Lake City, married twenty years, “Listen twice as much as you talk, and before you speak, consider: Is this true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?” The Melvilles sound like they may be Rotarians as the Four Way Test is similar. Noticing each of us is typically gifted with two ears and one mouth, it makes sense to me that we try to listen twice as much as we talk. However, when we speak with a forked tongue, out of both sides of our mouth, are we speaking quadraphonically, parenthetically, or reluctantly? And, on that note, who is left to read this final sentence but our editor?

STILL TALKING By Eileen Brown

Dear Readers, Just to let you know before we start that I will be on leave for a few weeks. I asked publisher Eric Marshall not to give my column away but to let me go without deadlines for a month or so. He agreed. Just as tired brakes squeal on a car, I believe in paying attention to one’s physical and mental health before they send out distress signals. As one who wrote this weekly column for five years without a single squeal, I will be happy to experience the health benefits of less stress as well. Thank you, faithful readers. You are my inspiration. Got pizza? If you asked the late character on Dragnet, Detective Joe Friday, to describe what makes Hot Rock Pizza different, he would probably start with the sauce. “It has plenty of garlic in it. Then there’s the cheese, Grande, and the way they work the mozzarella. Pizza dough is freshly made, no cardboard-box taste here. “But the real change is the oven. In the old process, your pizza would go in and bam! It sits there. With the new system, the pizza is turned ever so slightly at quarter pizza increments, and at 600 to 650 degrees, you know it’s cooked and delicately browned,” said the imaginary LA detective. He points out the company had to install a 10-inch vent through the ceiling of the restaurant, contained in Pioneer Way Mall, one of the oldest buildings in Oak Harbor. Jes, daughter of owner Reid Schwartz, is an ace on the job and makes an excellent good will ambassador. She points out they may be new, but have been open and doing brisk business that includes catering to Holland Happening, July Fourth, the Music Festival and Farmer’s Market. “People come in and compare our pizza to what they’ve had in Italy,” said Jes. Asked what is my favorite “flavor” of pizza, and I described the kind with black olives and Parmesan on top, featured at a bake-at-home take out place. Reid smiled, “I know exactly what that is. We call ours the John Wayne pizza.” Quicker than a cowboy can reach for his 6-gun up on Cemetery Hill, the steaming pizza was placed before me. As it cooled, we talked about how important it is for locals to support community economic health by having a regular dinner date at places like Hot Rock. Customers spell success. To that end, they are open daily from 11AM to 8PM, they have specials featured on their Facebook page and Reid figures a family of four can enjoy their Sunday evening and save about $20 by ordering two 12-inch pizzas, four bottomless sodas and an order of garlic or cinnamon knots.

Need Help With Your Honey-Do List?

As Sgt. Joe Friday would say, “Those are the facts, ma’am. If you don’t come in and give Reid’s gang a chance, I’ll have to cuff ‘em.” Get ready for the Hot Rock Pizza lineup (they also do salads, appetizers and desserts.) My pizza was terrific. Have them make one for you. Call 720-2077. Did you say “sale” You may want to save a little mad money on the side for the Terrific Treasures and Classy Collectibles Sale Saturday, Oct. 4, 8am to 3pm at Grace Community Church on the main highway just south of Oak Harbor (29470 Highway 20.) This is another popular fundraiser held by the AAUW featuring a great line-up of quality housewares, furnishings, decor, holiday items, gifts and a high end accessories section with purses, scarves and jewelry, all at bargain prices. You’ll be helping out a great cause as the sale supports a scholarship fund for Whidbey Island’s young women. For more information, call Christina Moats, Vice President of the Whidbey Island Chapter of the American Association of University Women, (360) 632-4132 or christinas.island. real.estate@gmail.com.

Happy birthday, dear base In about two weeks, a friend of ours turns 72. This friend has mastered ways to build, maintain and train, and is a beacon to those smart enough to be part of naval aviation today. Care to guess? Yes, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, commissioned Sept. 21, 1942 is still a heavy hitter in the Pacific Northwest. And to think the base was considered for closure about the time of the Korean War. Those early decision-makers saw an excellent training area for seaplanes, which we know as PBY Catalinas, and squadrons made regular flights to and from the Aleutian chain of islands, spotting enemy shipping and navigators in distress. They literally saved hundreds of aviators who, if they were lucky, still had a wing to hang onto. The era is fascinating, fraught with danger and deserves a closer look. More than a few PBYs flew into the sides of mountains during whiteout conditions, their remains are still being recovered. May I encourage you to pay a visit to the new PBY Naval Aviation Museum on Pioneer Way? You will be inspired and your admission fee will help this wonderful organization secure for future generations the history of early Naval Air Station Whidbey, all the way through to today. Sections are devoted to the aircraft and era in the spotlight, and it won’t take long before you are a fan of real history in real time. Items displayed are one of a kind and we have Richard Rezabek and Onee Hedeen to thank for cataloging countless pieces, from logbooks to a dynamite DVD “In Service to their Country.” It’s my favorite. Call 240-9500.

Letters to the Editor Editor, On behalf of the 2014 National Night Out Planning Committee we are proud to announce that over 1,000 community members attended the 31st annual event on Tuesday, August 6th at Windjammer City Park. The event was hosted by the Oak Harbor Police Department and sponsored for the first time by the Oak Harbor Lions Club. Food vendors supplied barbecued hot dogs and hamburgers, lumpia, pancit, snow cones, ice cream bars, kettle corn, plus cups and skewers of blueberries & marshmallows, and plenty of beverages for all who attended. Despite the nearby construction, from all indications there was plenty of room and the event was well received. This event would not be possible without the participation of service organizations and businesses from Whidbey Island and beyond. We appreciate the people who donated time and energy in support of this important community outreach. The goal of Oak Harbor’s National Night Out is to promote crime prevention awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in keeping the people of Whidbey Island safe and send the message that crime will not be tolerated in our towns. We thank all the vendors who provided fun and interesting crafts and activities including face painting, balloon animals & hats, trivia games, Japanese art, raffles, and freebies to the children and families who came. The summer temperature did not deter various mascots from dancing, hugging and entertaining children of all ages. Making appearances were Smokey the Bear by Oak Harbor Fire Department and Sparky the Dalmatian, sponsored by North Whidbey Fire Department, Crime Pup by Oak Harbor Police Department, and the Dancing Lion by Oak Harbor Lions Club. Congratulations to both the Oak Harbor Police and Fire Departments for raising over 1400 pounds of food. An added bonus was the special appearance of Odie, the miniature donkey, provided by Officer Jennifer Gravel with the Oak Harbor Police Department. A special thanks to the law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station for providing demonstrations, up-close viewing of their working vehicles and equipment. There were many service booths providing support information on nutrition, family preparedness, youth substance prevention, academic education, anti-bullying, and vehicle safety. Also, thanks to: the Oak Harbor Public Schools’ representatives who provided registration information and tours of their new ‘green’ school bus; to the Whidbey Island Bicycle Club who provided Safe Bike Routes to School; to the North Whidbey Lions Club who sponsored the free Health Screening Mobile Unit; and to the Whidbey Cruzers. A special thank you to our wonderful community volunteers, Oak Harbor Police explorers and the City of Oak Harbor employees who lent their time and energy before, during and after the event. This annual event is a night for our community to stand together to promote drug and alcohol awareness, safety and unity against all forms of crime. National Night Out showcases the fundamental importance of police partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer community. We look forward to bringing the 32nd fun-filled and exciting event in 2015; we hope to see you there! National Night Out Coordinators - Police Chief

Ed Green, Captain Teri Gardner, Officers Jennifer Yzaguirre, and Reserves Officer Kristal Kania, Oak Harbor Police Department. Oak Harbor Lions Club Members, Christy Green, Bill Cheaqui and Sharon Ryan

Editor, When did we vs. them become more important than choosing the best candidate for a position? Disappointed in the District #3 County Commissioners race is an understatement! There was a candidate with the most diverse business background, who lives on Camano Island and was selected to serve as interim commissioner by the existing two commissioners. In a very short time he had a command of the issues and was making a positive difference in his representation on the council as an advocate for District #3. Mr. Vaughn was infused with enthusiasm and fresh approaches, bringing District #3 to an equity standing on the commission for the residents. Now faced with not much of a choice; a candidate that admitted “not knowing much about Camano Island” or a candidate that has more community involvement than successful business experience, I will be “writing in” or “X-ing out” for this race on my Nov. ballot. I will vote my conscience. Thank you Mr. Vaughn for your service and dedication. Hopefully, Island County Government will recognize the assistance lost here and his talents will be utilized elsewhere in our community. E. Rike, Camano Island

The 60-year-old Mukilteo Ferry Terminal is one step closer to replacement. On Friday, August 22 the Federal Transit Administration signed a record of decision allowing the Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Division to design and construct a new ferry terminal in Mukilteo, WA. The Mukilteo terminal is one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest terminals, serving nearly 4 million passengers last year. However, the terminal is vulnerable to earthquakes and in need of major repairs to continue safe, reliable ferry service between Mukilteo and Clinton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a decade of environmental review and collaboration with federal, state, and local officials, tribes, and the public weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to building a safe and efficient new terminal that opens the Mukilteo waterfront and improves access to transit,â&#x20AC;? said Capt. George Capacci, interim assistant secretary for WSF. The selected alternative, known as a modified Elliot Point 2, relocates the ferry terminal one-third of a mile east of the existing terminal along Mukilteoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront. The new terminal location is adjacent to the Mukilteo Tank Farm, an abandoned U.S. Air Force Fuel Depot site. The project increases efficiency and capacity, featuring separated and safer loading for pedestrians, and improves connections to commuter rail and transit services. The cost to relocate the ferry terminal is approximately $129 million. WSF recently secured $16.8 million in federal grants and plans to begin the first phase of construction in spring 2015. This work will include removing an old pier on the Mukilteo Tank Farm site to make room for the new ferry terminal. The new terminal is expected to open in 2019. The record of decision and other documents are available for review on the project website www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/ferries/mukilteoterminal/multimodal/ [Submitted by Marta Coursey, WSF Director of Communications]

Chicken Little And the Astrologer By Wesley Hallock

Last week we cast a suspicious eye on the cancellation of the Apollo Moon Project in 1972. We also puzzled over the disappearance of the original video showing humanity’s first walk on the Moon. The reason for these two actions we said was connected to salt and pepper and a shopping trip lasting 24 years. Master chefs, astute historians and Jeopardy fans may all have immediately seized on the clue, crying out in unison, “Marco Polo! The Italian merchant who traveled the breadth of Asia in quest of spices!” It is true. Without Marco Polo, the return leg of whose journey is called the Spice Route, there may have been no Colonel Sanders with his eleven herbs and spices. No spicy Italian sausage. Old Spice aftershave might never have joined AARP. When his home town of Venice bid Marco Polo arrivederci and buon viaggio in 1271, Marco’s journey took him eastward. Regarding the caravans’ official brand of aftershave, the record is silent. History does tell us, however, that owing to a close connection between the Polo family and the papacy, letters were being carried from Pope Gregory V to Kublai Kahn of Mongolia. This implies Marco Polo was more than a Middles Ages Trader Joe. Today we would call him an intelligence agent on mission. The same missionary Christian spirit, the same politics and the same financing that later would envelope the voyage of Christopher Columbus surrounded the Marco Polo expedition. Some in fact compare it to a land-locked form of the Columbus voyage. The caravan passed through astrology’s ancient homeland in Persia, stopping to have their birth charts read, perhaps. Much of today’s Vedic astrology came to India from the Middle Eastern country of Tajikstan. A Tajika astrologer confronting Marco Polo’s nativity might have narrowed his eyes as he perused that year’s list of sahams, the three-planet calculations used to forecast life events. From the dozens possible, a few would have stood out. Trade. Distant travels. Monetary gain. Fame. Surmising the expedition’s eventual outcome--notoriety for Marco as the merchant who shopped for 24 years to give Europe a taste of the Far East—the astrologer might have been referring to Marco’s shopping list when he said, “Got milk?” Continuing eastward after trading secret dispatches with Kublai Khan, Marco Polo came inevitably to the western shore of the Pacific Ocean. What happened from there was in his time much disputed. In his own time Marco was called the man of a million lies. The first edition of his book was suppressed, eventually to be replaced by a volume edited by a Dominican monk from Bologna. The Dominicans, Trivial Pursuit fans will quickly point out, were of the Saint Dominic order associated with the Inquisition— stern men with ways of helping a person to find truth. Make no wisecracks about that truth being sourced in baloney! The truth is that Marco’s story of his travels was a geographical heresy. He told of sailing a year eastward from China, crossing 1500 miles of high seas to arrive at what the Monk from Bologna tells us is the island of Japan. But Japan is barely more than 500 miles from China. Marco also says that in this land were endless quantities of gold, of which Japan has little. He described the people as a mix

Hear More. Anytime. Anywhere.

Even the Bologna edition of the Polo story points to Marco having reached the Americas, some 200 years before Columbus. Was Polo a liar? Then why go to the trouble of editing the lie? Or was the lie in the editing itself? To decide, we need something to which to connect our merchant Marco. Call it the Marco dot. After the time of Marco Polo, but well before Christopher Columbus, another sea voyage took place in 1380. It was made by the brothers Zeno, two members of an aristocratic Venetian ruling family. The Zenos must have had trade routes in mind when they departed from Marco Polo’s old home town of Venice, for Venice was all about trade. But unlike Marco, who went east, the Zenos were bound for points west. How far west? The Venice city council in 1881 erected a commemorative plaque at the Zeno palace honoring the Zenos for having reached America in 1390! The ordinary Venetian poling his gondola in Venice canals in 1390 knew nothing of this. The story of the Zeno voyage was kept hushhush, remaining unpublished until 140 years later. And oddly, when it was published, the geographic knowledge it contained was far, far in advance of what was publicly known in the 14th Century. It shows the Zenos must have known beforehand of the place we now call North America. Their voyage was a voyage of confirmation. But how did they know?

The Turkish Admiral Piri Reis in the 16th Century lifted the veil of secrecy shrouding these and similar voyages of the Middle Ages when he published his Book of Sea Lore and an astonishing map. His was a detailed and accurate world map showing North and South America, as well as Antarctica, some 300 years before its “discovery” in the 19th Century. (A bottle of water, please, for the woman who just fainted….) How did the Turkish Admiral and the Zeno brothers know so much? The imperial archives in Constantinople, to which Venetian aristocrats and their sea captains would have had access, acted as a Secret Map of the Month Club. Its jealously guarded charts and world maps ranged back at least to the time of Alexander the Great around 350 BC. Here we may have our Marco dot: Everything said thus far points to Marco Polo having been sent, not for spices, but to confirm the existence of America. The Marco dot also points to rain on the Columbus Day parade. By the time of Columbus, America had been discovered and rehidden more times than a recycled Easter egg. And Chris was in on the game. The Turkish Admiral states clearly that Columbus made two voyages to America, the first one in1485. His 1492 voyage of “discovery” was only the carefully planned disclosure of what had been known privately for many centuries: the existence of a New World.
