That is not all. The degree of precision within the coffer is so fine that changes of humidity or temperature would ruin it. This means the coffer must have been machined in place, deep within the Pyramid, under the exact temperature and humidity that would house it.

American all-girl pop rock band Egyptian mysteries departure point All of the above The correct answer is “all of the above.” Readers who missed last week’s column may be puzzled. What they missed is that this savvy girl band is perfect for answering the question, “Who knows the way of a universe that gave us Weiner dogs, giraffes and belly-dancing?” To which the girls replied: “The Chinese know (ohway-oh!) They walk a line like Egyptian.”

Ancient Chinese texts contain nothing to suggest that either Confucius or Lao Tzu, although both knew the way of the universe, ever walked with knees high and arms bent at right angles, one up and one down, head jerking with each step. We cannot even be sure the Egyptians walked this way. Wall paintings are not the same as music videos. What the ancient Chinese texts do contain is reference to (oh-way-oh!) a horrific super weapon called a yin-yang mirror. Alice in “Through the Looking Glass,” and the wicked queen in Snow White who chants, “Magic Mirror on the wall…”–the most fascinating tales begin with mirrors.

Egypt’s Great Pyramid, under analysis by engineers and the laws of torsion physics, reveals its potential as a machine for power generation. The logical mind may connect this fact to the Chinese yin-yang mirror. It will remember the ancient Sanskrit and Hindu texts with their stories of interplanetary war, flying machines called vimanas and (oh-way-oh!) a super weapon, “Charged with all the power of the universe.” From there it is but a short step (with one knee high and a jerk of the head) to connect to the Sumerian texts that refer to the Great Pyramid as, “The Great Weapon” and “The Great Affliction.” Coincidence theorists (unable to coordinate their knee lifts with their head jerks) dismiss the connections. They classify the Chinese and Sanskrit texts as “mythology” and cling to idea of the Great Pyramid as the burial tomb of a mummified pharaoh. Never mind that the Great Pyramid was never found to contain a mummy (or a daddy). Coincidence theorists just lack rhythm.

The case for the Great Pyramid as a machine begins with its interior. Engineers who have studied the inner passages of the Pyramid are astonished by its puzzling and impeccable precision. Slave labor dragging granite blocks up ramps with ropes could not have achieved the fine-tuned, optical-quality standards of the Pyramid’s inner dimensions, not even with aid of Charlton Heston and Cecil B. DeMille. Central to the puzzle is the coffer made from a single block of granite that rests inside the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid. Tool marks on the inside of the coffer show it was hollowed as we would today, using high-speed machine drilling. However, the groove pattern shows a feed rate of the drill bit into the granite five hundred times faster than modern drills. Also, the grooves are deeper in the quartz portions of the granite than in the softer feldspar, the reverse of what might be expected. This was not a remodel job on This

The conclusion from its design and engineering is that the coffer performed as the optical cavity of a maser, a device which in modern usage produces coherent electromagnetic waves. Such waves under the principles of torsion physics have weapon potential. What sort of weapon? Torsion weapons are essentially mirrors. They read the energy wave signature of an object, amplifying that wave prior to feeding it back into the object. Amplified feedback, known in the music business as audio feedback, produces an ear-splitting screech. What might result of feedback from an amplifier the size of the Great Pyramid? The same question put to the girls elicited this cryptic response: “All the bazaar men by the Nile, they got the money on a bet.”

The famous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys resulted in 12 deaths, untold blood and violence, one historical novel, one short story, the Family Feud TV game show, two screen plays, two screen songs, a three-part TV mini-series, a reality TV show, four cartoons, a direct to DVD movie, 500 miles of off-road vehicle trail, an annual Reunion Festival and Marathon Run and a live comedy dinner show. The McCoys were also the alleged ancestors of Star Trek’s Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy. All of which proves that we people of Earth take our feuding very seriously. We are also not above having some fun with it and making a little money along the way.

With the savvy girl band getting Spandex© tight with their information, a sudden burst of logic turns us to another reliable source. The mirror. (In sonorous Charlton Heston as Moses authoritative tone): “Magic Mirror within the Pyramid’s walls, who is—wait! Let’s cut to the chase, Mirror. Let’s stop beating around the burning bush. Who is the ‘Great Affliction,’ the Chinese yin-yang mirror, the horrific (way-oh-way-ohhh!) super weapon, ‘Charged with all the power of the universe?’ Is it you?” To which the Mirror replied: “Suppose for a moment that Plato’s “Music of the Spheres” is more than just elegant metaphor. Suppose the flowing dance of the orbiting planets truly is music on a cosmic scale. Might some ancient high clan of Hatfields or McCoys, gazing on the endless dance, possessed of a dazzling science and realizing the power of feedback, vowed to use their knowledge to settle once and for all their ongoing feud? Might they have designed the Great Pyramid as the Ella Fitzgerald of granite architecture, shattering not just their adversary’s wine glass, but their whole freaking planet? This was a feud! How could they resist?” We’ll take that as a “yes.” Between Mars and Jupiter, in the orbital lane where the elegant mathematics of the Music of the Spheres says there should be a planet, we find none. We find only asteroids, the millions of orbiting pieces of what might once have been a planet. This is not easy news to tuck into a Hallmark card...“Remembering the Giza Death Machine and thinking of you?” Maybe not. But nothing in the dot puzzle of Earth makes sense without it. Next week: The skunk in the Lockheed Skunk Works. Or why NASA’s boomerang won’t come back.

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

According to Seattle Times book editor Mary Ann Gwinn, the winner of the 2014 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Award for the best bad opening to an imaginary novel was the entry by Betsy Dorfman of Bainbridge Island: When the dead moose floated into view the famished crew cheeredâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;this had to mean land!â&#x20AC;&#x201C;but Captain Walgrove, flinty-eyed and clear headed thanks to the starvation cleanse in progress, gave fateful orders to remain on the original course and await the appearance of a second and confirming moose. Had I known there was a contest, I surely would have submitted one of my weekly column introductions, often considered bad openings, as well as imaginary, in a novel sort of way. Caboose Musings Why I continue to be amazed at the speed of our days and nights amazes me. It is as if I am in a state of constant perplexity, as I view the days clicking off my calendar. How this can be, I say to myself, is beyond me. More time speeds by as I await my reply. As I am waiting, I realize that as more time has elapsed, I seem to be waiting longer. It is as if I am waiting in my own line, but no one is there to answer my question. Could everyone be out to lunch but me? The more I think about the passage of time, the faster it seems to pass. Ever feel this way, or are you like most of my family, secure in each and every detail of their lives, but what to watch next on cable TV? Tech Talk In the last two weeks, I have accidentally deleted the operating systems on my office computer and my borrowed laptop. Typing this at the local library, I notice that this high speed machine also keeps track of how slow I am. It is like having a teacher stand over your shoulder constantly reminding me how many words I write in a minute. No wonder I like my old computer. It was courteous. It did not tell me how slowly I was writing or how long it took me to think of the next word. So far, according to this library machine, I have written 377 words in 137 minutes. At two-and-a-half words a minute, you may as well go have lunch while I think of something to say. Hear Here Given the increased volume of the white noise in my ears, I am starting a support group for people like me who are hearing things unwanted. Our mission statement will be to promote secondary hearing, as we primary listeners have heard enough. We have heard enough buzzing, enough shrieking, and enough whining. Tentatively, we will call this group the Near Ear Institute, located somewhere near here. Our mantras will be HUH (hearing unnecessary hearing) and HOH (hearing othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearing.) I am finding now that the ringing in my ears is so great that even the white noise of a Mariner game will not cover it. I asked my Pal Jennifer if she would lean over near my ears to determine if she could hear what I was hearing. Upon her confirmation of not wanting to be anywhere near my ears, I knew we had a name for our support team, The Near Earâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers. Our monthly newsletter will be called HA, representing Hearers Anonymous internationally, as well as here in our cul-desac.

LocaLLy opEratEd. The Buck Starts Here One of the advantages of not having a very good memory is that there is so much more to learn. As I age, I feel a wisdom coming on. Let me know when it gets here.

FALL & WINTER ARE COMING!

While studying for my homeschooling final exam in B Movie Western Heroes and Their Horses, a class I offer myself every three years, I found out an interesting story on Buck Jones. Should you be too young to know of Buck Jones (real name, Charles Gebhart, of Vincennes, Indiana), Jones was a rodeo and western movie star in the 1920sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, 30sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and 40sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, starring in film classics like The Last Straw, his first film in 1920, The Lone Rider (1930), The Fighting Sheriff (1931), Hello Trouble (1932), and Unmarried (1939). Like most of the Silver Screen heroes of that time, Buck had his own horse to showcase, in each and every film. Along with Tom Mixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tony, and William S. Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fritz, Buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse, Silver, was equally as famous.

Silver, purchased for $100 by Jones during the filming of Roughshod in 1922, was a beautiful gray, and no relation to the Silver ridden years later by the Lone Ranger. Silverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is told by Robert Mitchumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Petrine, in a wonderful book entitled Hollywood Hoofbeats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although Buck preferred action to cute antics, Silver got to perform enough tricks to satisfy audience anticipation while also providing thrilling images as he and Buck streaked across the Western terrain. Silver was so intelligent that he learned to perform stunts, such as leaping through fire, with only one rehearsal. His skill as a one-take actor became legendary.â&#x20AC;? B-Western Cowboy historian Bobby Copeland wrote in his well-documented and extensively researched book, Silent Hoofbeats, quoting Western movie and TV director William Witney: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maxine, Buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, told a wonderful true story. When she was about five years old, her father bought out a Wild West show and took it on the road. Her mother worked in it as a trick rider, and she rode in the grand parade; the rains came that summer, and the people stayed home rather than face the mud.

The Wild West show went broke when it hit the Midwest and went into bankruptcy. Everything in the show had to be sold off by the sheriff to pay the creditors. Silver, Buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous horse, was included with the items to go under the auctioneerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hammer.

Customer Tanks

Buck hired a local attorney who told him that there was an old law still on the books that said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;when a man goes into bankruptcy, the sheriff must leave him a horse and a gun.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Buck checked with the sheriff who confirmed it. Buck knew that a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would never include Silver, who was as famous with the fans as Buck. The night before that auction they painted the real Silver black and substituted another white horse in his stall. Early the next morning the sheriff came and Buck asked if it was alright to leave. With the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission, he strapped on his gun belt, threw daughter Maxine up on the painted Silver, and with Maxineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother leading Silver, they headed for another state.â&#x20AC;? After many more films, including the Rough Rider series, with Tim McCoy and Raymond Hatton, Buck met his death tragically, and heroically, while trying to rescue guests during a fire at a party being held at his honor in Boston. Several months later, Buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse Silver began to fail. According to Buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widow Dell Jones, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seemed he missed Buck and stopped eating. He would bow his beautiful head and grieve. He was very old for a horseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;34 years.â&#x20AC;? Excuse me. I have to go pet my wild bunnies now.

she was summarily fired by Ms. Nunez for daring to step forward as a candidate and hurting Ms. Nunez’ feelings.

Letters to the Editor Editor, With summer on Whidbey Island a fading memory, it’s time to pay attention to the candidates who are running for elected office and the ballot measures that will be before us in the general election on November 4th. Once again, the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island (LWVWI) will give the voting public a chance to meet the candidates, hear their positions and listen to their answers to challenging questions. The LWVWI takes great pride in presenting forums with an objective, non-partisan format and considers it one of the most important services that we provide to our members and the community at large. The LWVWI and the Sno-Isle Libraries will co-sponsor two forums this upcoming general election season: The first one will be held on Wednesday, October 8th starting at 6:00pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Freeland, and will feature the candidates running for Legislative District 10 Representative, Position 2, Island County Commissioner, District 3, and Island County Treasurer. Panels representing ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ on I-594 and one on I-591 are also planned. The second one will be held on Thursday, October 16th, starting at 6:00pm, at the Elks Club in Oak Harbor, and will highlight the candidates running for U.S. Representative for the 2nd Congressional District, 10th Legislative District Representative, Position 1 and 2, Island County Commissioner, District 3, Island County Auditor and Island County Treasurer. Although written questions for the candidates will come from League members, the general public is invited to submit questions for our consideration through the contact page of our website: lwvwhidbey.org, no later than Monday, October 6th. Since there are so few opportunities to see both candidates vying for a position in person, we strongly urge Island County voters to take attend one or both of these forums. Joyce Peterson and Marshall Goldberg, Co-Presidents, League of Women Voters, Whidbey Island, WA

Editor, A few months ago, I saw an article quoting the current Island County Treasurer, Ana Maria d Nunez, describing her thoughts and actions when she learned that Wanda Grone, Chief Deputy Treasurer in the office, had filed to run for the Treasurer’s position. According to the article, Ms. Nunez said she “deliberated, cried and prayed over what to do.” Apparently Ms. Grone had not let her boss know that she planned to run against her. I’m curious. Assuming that Ms. Nunez prayed to God, I wonder if God told her to fire Ms. Grone? If so, how? Did He agree that Ms. Grone had no right to run against her? Was she visited by a supernatural being? Did she experience a vision? “Crying and praying” sounds like hysteria driven by emotion. If Ms. Grone was not doing her job, that’s one thing. And she certainly might deserve to lose her job. But to deprive her of free speech, the right to work and to pursue happiness because Ms. Grone seeks to improve the efficiency and work ethics in the office, is quite another matter. Especially based on emotional reaction. Wanda Grone held the position of Chief Deputy Treasurer since February 2011. During that time, she received no negative comments about her work ethic or the quality of her work. Clearly,

Sometimes people who are elected to office have the opinion that they “own” the elected position. Feeling comfortable, they no longer worry about impressing co-workers with their dedication to duty. Only when the job becomes threatened, do they hike up their pants and put their noses to the proverbial grindstone. The Treasurer of Island County has a great deal of power and responsibility. Ana Maria d Nunez fired a valuable Island County employee only because she became fearful for her own chair. If Wanda Grone was not doing her job, it should have been previously noted and attended to. This was clearly a personal issue with Ms. Nunez and, if she’s allowed to remain as head of the department, will only feed her self-aggrandizement. Not good for her and not good for Island County. Mary Jane Olson, Clinton

Editor, Fix the Problem; Don’t Just Throw State Grant Money at IT! On August 22nd I attended the Island Transit Board of Directors meeting to learn more about why Island Transit found itself with $0.00 dollars in the bank and had to borrow $850,000.00 dollars to pay its employees and $1.3 million to pay off their remaining cost share of the new IT facility. As I walked from the parking lot to the lobby of the IT facility to the Rose conference room where the meeting was held, I viewed nothing but outrageous decadence for a transit maintenance facility. Outside the facility I viewed very “artsy” clearly pricey benches, gazebos, atrium workout facility, and fancy concrete sidewalk. Inside I viewed extravagant woodwork, floor to ceiling artwork and the state of the art Rose conference room where the meeting was held. As I waited for the meeting to begin, it all became instantly clear to me how IT management managed to spend over $410.00 per square foot for this facility. What a shameful betrayal of the public trust and waste of $23.2 million hard earned tax payer dollars. During the meeting, I was shocked by: 1. Island Transits Executive Director and Board of Directors casual “business as usual” attitude while discussing applying for millions of dollars in state grants to cover 4 years of gross mismanagement of the Island Transit facility. 2. The Board of Directors request to the Executive Director to provide them financials they could understand (What in the world have they been doing for the past 4 years?) 3. Island Transit’s 6 Year Plan which is centered on spending more money than their tax revenue will produce to the tune of $1 million dollars a year. Island Transit is a necessary and important service that must be saved, BUT, in my opinion, not one additional dime of state grant money should be awarded to Island Transit until it has gotten its managerial and financial house in order. A national search should be conducted effective immediately to replace the current management with an experienced, proven executive whose philosophy is to provide effective service within Island County’s needs and means. Julie Lauderdale, Coupeville

Editor, A meeting about Para Transit service cuts was arranged by Lynae Slinden, Director of the South Whidbey Senior Services, on Thursday, 11 September. About 30 citizens and 4 members of the Operation staff of Island Transit attended. It was an informative meeting for folks who find themselves in a bind resulting from service cuts that have resulted from mismanagement of Island Transit. Solutions for the problems must come from the Administrative end of Island Transit and its Board of Directors. Sadly, that is where the problems were created. Transit users and other attendees voiced their concerns and

offered suggestions to help. Several Para Transit users wondered why they have not been allowed to pay for, or toward, their needed transportation. The Board of Directors of Island Transit called an Emergency meeting of that Board on Friday morning, 12 September to deal with the serious money shortage. Emergency procedures have been instituted and Route Schedule reevaluations are underway but will take three months to be implemented. Several special meetings of the Board of Directors and for Transit users are being scheduled to explain, understand, and fix the problems. It will take many months to fully address the money shortage. The issues of management evaluation and Board oversight are in progress by management and the Board. They discussed hiring another Consultant at their Special meeting Friday. That will take months and thousands of dollars. What they need is new Administration and more responsible and decisive Board direction, now. Both the Executive Director and the Board of Directors share responsibility for the problems with our Transit System. They are all scrambling to correct problems that should have been prevented by much closer attention to the details of providing the several necessary and very useful transportation services to the citizens of Island County. When our previous State Senator was unelected, a couple of years ago, Island Transit lost a powerful champion in Olympia. That champion had facilitated years of financial grant assistance to Island Transit that faded with her defeat. Island Transit must now deal with the reality of finding ways to generate enough money to provide transportation services that had been proudly, but unrealistically, “Fare Free” for years. It had been concluded by management and the Board of Directors that asking Transit Bus and Para Transit users to pay any part of the cost of their transportation was “Confrontational.” It had also been concluded that allowing advertising on Transit vehicles was offensive to our ‘Rural Character.’ Island Transit Administration and its Board of Directors need to cause changes to our Transit system that will provide practicable and dependable public transportation services. Transit users must be allowed to pay something for Transit services. Rufus Rose, Clinton

“Global Friendships” Community Art Installation In Langley This September, visitors to Langley will notice strings of colorful flags decorating the area around town hall and the public library. The art installation, created by children and families from the Puget sound region, is meant to carry a simple but important message in these turbulent global times: That we are one world and one planet, and by appreciating our cultural differences, learning to communicate and get along, a peaceful and harmonious global society is possible. Throughout the summer of 2014, school age children from South Whidbey and the Seattle area have been making “peace and friendship” flags as part of the Northwest Language and Cultural Center’s latest endeavor. NWLA’s Global Friendship Flags project engages young people in creating a special art installation that will help bring awareness to the importance of intercultural understanding. At the Seattle Center’s Chinese Festival, South Whidbey Arts Festival, Farmer’s Markets, and other cultural fairs and events, children and their families have been invited to decorate muslin flags with artwork that they feel expresses global friendship, and write the word “friend” in many languages. The colorful flags have now been collected and strung on a cord, and will be hung in the City of Langley throughout the month of September, before traveling to other locations around Puget Sound this fall. “It’s been truly amazing to see the response

from everyone, especially the kids,” says NWLA Director Josette Hendrix. “We say come and draw something that tells people around the world that we should get along, and there’s an immediate recognition that comes over their faces, and a kind of determination.” Watching the children at work, Hendrix says, “I really see that for all of us, the desire to live in peace and harmony is right there, just under the surface.” One elementary school age boy, NWLA program director Maria Ellis said, decorated his flag with the Chinese characters for “friend,” because, he said, a friend of his was in Singapore and he missed him. A teenager at Choochokum, meanwhile, started out by making a flag in Russian for his Russian dad, but then went on to make five more flags in other languages, saying that it was good for people from different backgrounds to feel like friends, as it makes the world a friendlier place. For more information on the project, please contact Josette Hendrix at NWLA, at (360) 321-2101. [Submitted by Northwest Language and Cultural Center]

‘Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me’ Opens at OutCast OutCast Productions delves into a play that couldn’t be more relevant to our time. “Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me” opens September 19 at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds in Langley. Considering the recent news headlines of the heinous cavalier beheadings of American reporters, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, by the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS) and their countless other victims, it seems as if the play might have been written last week. The play, written by award-winning Irish playwright Frank McGuinness, is inspired somewhat by the traumatic experience of Brian Keenan, who was captured in Beirut in 1986, along with John McCarthy and Terry Anderson, and held hostage for four years. It was first performed at the Hampstead Theatre, London in 1992, but as terrorism and hostage taking seem to be regular occurrences in a world still ripe with psychopaths posing under symbol of god and country, the play is as prescient as it was 22 years ago. Director K. Sandy O’Brien had been poised to direct the play years ago, but missed that chance, so she’s had plenty of time to think about it. “The three characters of this story had always intrigued me,” O’Brien said. “To think this play is only about a hostage situation doesn’t do it justice. It does make you wonder if you put any three people in a room, could they work out their differences and survive if their captors let them.” When the play was first produced, McGuinness spoke of an image of “three men chained to the wall, talking” and also about his obsession with the ongoing hostile relationship between England and Ireland. The play reveals all these kinds of wounds, while working toward an admittance of them, followed by a healing. “Our finest human nature is what this play is about, and the ability to rise above when put to the task,” O’Brien added. “With different backgrounds and histories... can we be united? In this play we can. If only our captors would enter the room and join us there would be no play to be written.” The cast includes Jim Carroll, Brian Plebanek and Tim O’Brien. Lighting is by Alex Wren, set construction by Lars Larson, sound and light techs are Ned Farley and Doug Kolb. The play shows at 7:30pm on September 19, 20, 26, 27 and October 2, 3, 4; and at 2:00pm on Sunday, September 28. OutCast performs at the Black Box Theater, which is located at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds, 819 Camano Ave. in Langley Tickets are on sale at Brown Paper Tickets or can be reserved and paid for at the door by cash or check by emailing ocp@whidbey.com. Tickets cost $18 for adults, $14 for students and seniors. Visit the OutCast website for more information about this play, as well for the upcoming 2015 season at www.outcastproductions.net.

Auditions for Monty Pythonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spamalot

Washington State with medical evacuations and search and rescue activities.

The Whidbey Playhouse will hold auditions for its production of Monty Pythonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spamalot on Saturday and Sunday, October 4 and 5, in the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s STAR Studio located at 730 SE Midway Boulevard in Oak Harbor.

Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, Monty Pythonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spamalot is a musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, and featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls - not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people - Monty Pythonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spamalot raises silliness to an art form. Like the film, it is a highly irreverent, but it differs from the film in many ways, beginning with women slapping men in the face with fish. Jim and Sue Riney will be co-directing this production that is looking for 13 men and 7 women from age 18 to 60 to play such roles as King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, the Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls, Sir Not Appearing in This Show, and more. All auditioning must attend the dance portion of the audition on either Saturday, October 4, from 10:00am to 12:00pm or on Sunday, October 5, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm where a brief dance section will be taught. Be dressed comfortably to move. Vocal and reading auditions are by appointment on Saturday, October 4, 12:00pm to 6:00pm and Sunday, October 5, 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Please call (360) 679-2237 or email office@whidbeyplayhouse.com to reserve your 10 minute spot. Walk-in auditions are welcome, but will only be accommodated as scheduling permits. Prepare approximately 32 bars, memorized, of a song that demonstrates your singing ability and allows you to play a character; a comic song is preferred. Bring sheet music or a CD accompaniment track. An accompanist is provided, or you may bring your own. No unaccompanied singing. Those auditioning will be provided with a short section from the script to read, and should also be prepared to tell a joke of their own choosing. For more information on the auditions or the production itself, visit www.whidbeyplayhouse. com. Monty Pythonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spamalot will be performed February 6 - March 1, 2015.

NAS Whidbey Island SAR Rescues 2 in 2 days in the Cascade Mountains A Search and Rescue (SAR) team from Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island rescued a 46-yearold woman off Mount Stuart in the Cascades Sunday afternoon, September 7. The woman fell about 300 feet while hiking in the snow, breaking her wrist and suffering numerous cuts and bruises. On the heels of that rescue, SAR was called out to Tower Rock, near Randle, Wash. last week after a base jumper sustained serious injuries to his legs and chest. The man was hoisted in a litter and flown aboard the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MH-60S Knighthawk to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. NAS Whidbey Island SAR has launched on 21 search and rescue missions and three medical evacuations this year, resulting in 36 lives saved. The Navy SAR unit is specifically based at NAS Whidbey Island for search and rescue missions for the EA-18G aircraft as well as other squadrons and personnel assigned to the installation.

SEPTEMBER 20

SOUTH WHIDBEY VS. CEDAR PARK at Cedar Park Christian HS, 7pm

Sequim receiver to punch the ball out of his hands at the one-yard line and repeatedly planting foes face-down with booming tackles.

Bouncing back from a rough, error-filled loss in week one, the Oak Harbor High School football squad drilled host Ferndale 42-23 Friday, Sept. 12 to even its season record at 1-1.

The Wolves, trailing 20-3, had a shot at slicing the lead right before the half, only to have it blow up in their face.

Playing a near-precision game this time out (no turnovers and just two penalties) the ‘Cats used a second-half surge to turn a 16-14 halftime deficit into a romp. Key to the turnaround was a change in attitude on defense. After being blitzed for 142 yards on the ground by Ferndale’s Marcus Nightingale in the opening half, Oak Harbor stiffened, holding the fullback to just 62 after halftime. Even that number was deceptive, as 30 of the yards came on a breakaway run long after the game had been decided and the ‘Cat first-string defense had retreated to the sideline. Oak Harbor’s Princeton Lollar (32) carried the ball 19 times in the Cats’ 42-23 win over Ferndale.

COUPEVILLE VS. CHIMACUM at Coupeville HS, 5:30pm

OAK HARBOR VS. FERNDALE The Wildcats found their mojo.

Slowing down the run game, forcing Ferndale to repeatedly punt, Oak Harbor’s defense set up things and the ‘Cat offense answered the call.

After the first two punts of the night from the host team, the Wildcats drove for touchdowns, tearing up big chunks of yardage in relatively few plays. Oak Harbor went 64 yards on four plays, then piled up a 72-yard, five-play scoring drive to blow things open. The one-two combo of Princeton Lollar (147 yards on 19 carries) and Dejon Devroe (16-116) powered the offense, while ‘Cat quarterback Clay Doughty was 7 of 16 for 121 yards, hitting Dyllan Harris on 42 and 13-yard scoring strikes. Devroe hit pay dirt on touchdown runs of 23 and 13 yards, Lollar punched in a 2-yard scoring run and Zach Jones busted out a 48-yard run to the end zone. Oak Harbor rolled up 459 yards of total offense and its lone mistake on the night was a minor one. The Wildcats gave up two points on a safety when its punter, backed up deep on his end of the field, had to snag a snap that went too high. As he did, his foot brushed the end line for just a moment, long enough for a ref to notice.

But penalties, again and again, ate away at Coupeville’s ability to make a big defensive stand, and the visitors used a 20-0 second quarter to bust open a close game.

Facing a short fourth down at the Sequim 21, Walstad made his only true mistake of the game. His receiver went one way, his pass another and a Sequim defender had a gift-wrapped interception, which he took back for a 79-yard touchdown with just eight seconds to play in the half. Coupeville opened the game with a 27-yard field goal off of the toe of Walstad, with their touchdowns coming in the second half. Kelley bolted in from six yards out after Walstad and Bayne hooked up. The Wolves inadvertently picked up two points after Kelley’s score. A bad snap on the extra point attempt was plucked out of the grass by the holder, Bayne, who flipped it to Walstad, who cut his foot swing in mid-stride, whirled to the left and lobbed it to Smith, who rumbled home for the conversion.

SOUTH WHIDBEY VS. ANACORTES

The Chris Tormey era at South Whidbey has gotten off to a slow start. The former NCAA Division 1 coach now sits at 0-2 after the Falcons were bounced 32-17 by visiting 2A Anacortes Friday, Sept. 12 in a non-conference game. Coming on the heels of an opening-week loss to Coupeville, South Whidbey fell behind early and never recovered. Two touchdowns and a two-point conversion surrendered in the first quarter left the 1A Falcons in a 15-0 hole that they could never erase. Anacortes, which evened its record at 1-1, rolled up most of its yards on the ground, but most of its scores through the air. The Seahawks racked up 243 rushing yards, with senior Jullien Collins accounting for 140 of those. With three different players throwing passes, Anacortes only picked up 89 yards, but got three of its four touchdowns via the air game. Ty Johnson hauled in all three scoring strikes, while Collins tacked on a TD run. Zack Bowman knocked a short field goal through the uprights and was a flawless three-of-three on PAT attempts to round out the scoring for Anacortes. The game was a relatively clean one, with just four total penalties called all night. South Whidbey stats were not available.

The team will have two weeks to work on things like that, as a possible non-conference game against a Canadian school fell through, leaving Oak Harbor with a bye week. The Wildcats face Everett Sept. 26.

COUPEVILLE VS. SEQUIM

A fan of the penalty flag? This was the game for you. With two, three and sometimes four flags being thrown on nearly every other play Friday, Sept. 12, the battle of the Wolves – with Coupeville High School playing host to 2A Sequim – went three hours before the visitors escaped back to the bus with a 40-18 non-conference win. The loss dropped CHS to 1-1 as it heads into its first-ever 1A Olympic League game Sept. 19. The Wolves host Chimacum (0-2) in that one, with a 5:30 kickoff. In the rare moments when yellow flags weren’t flying in unison, Coupeville senior quarterback Joel Walstad lit the sky up, throwing for his second 200+ yard game in as many weeks. He completed 21 of 45 passes for a career-high 272 yards (he has 524 yards through two games), hitting Josh Bayne on a 15-yard scoring strike. His targets were many, as he spread the wealth among five receivers. CJ Smith snagged five for 96 yards, followed by Bayne (5-86), Ryan Griggs (4-56), Lathom Kelley (4-21) and Jacob Martin (3-13). Bayne was a force all game, picking off a pass while backpedaling, chasing down a runaway

By Eileen Brown â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know we moved,â&#x20AC;? said Jamie Woodward. Indeed, Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tae Kwon Do Academy moved back into the log building at 390 Midway Blvd., in mid-January, where things have been humming the past nine months. Space is critical in instructing any martial art and the new studio has plenty of room for its students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been in business for about 16 years,â&#x20AC;? Jamie continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impressive endurance record, considering martial arts businesses have a high turnover. Jamie takes students through the activity that will teach them self-discipline, respect and self-confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can take three or four years and lots of hard work to get those belts,â&#x20AC;&#x153; she said.

The move back into the log building where they began seemed the smartest plan, as students needed more room for proper stances and kicks. There are several different belt ranks for ages 6 to 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey to black belt, there are 10 levels of belts, starting with a white belt. We all begin as a white belt, no matter what the age,â&#x20AC;? Jamie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have about 24 to 30 4-to-6-year-olds in two of our most popular classes. For ages 6-to-12-year-old, there are several different belt ranks. A child can get a yellow belt, a step up from white, and advance to green, blue, red and, finally, black belt,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Jamie pointed out the Academy is not a school about fighting, and while they teach self-defense, they begin each session by saying aloud, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Courtesy. Integrity. Perseverance. Self-Control. Indomitable Spirit.â&#x20AC;? Even the 4-year-olds say the words to remind everyone this is serious stuff.

Jamie said if she has a student who is in trouble in school and he or she is the cause of the trouble, she wants to hear his or her side of the story. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t train a student who is on the wrong track. Kids enjoy sparing, akin to playing tag with a hand or foot. This is used more in practice but they can also go on to earn a medal or trophy at tournaments hosted by their organization, HWA-RANG Taekwondo Federation.

Parents should see their children advance in self-discipline, respect and self-confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times just having the knowledge of being able to defend oneself is enough of a deterrent to get out of a sticky situation. Every child is different and every situation will be different,â&#x20AC;? Jamie continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I teach the kids to talk to their parents. I teach my children to avoid the situation as much as possible, so if you know someone is going to be a bully, try to avoid the situation.â&#x20AC;? They train people of every age. Tae kwon do is for adults. You work at your own ability level. There is some jumping and a lot of kicks. (No flipping, however. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judo.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are just learning we moved, stop in and see our new spaces,â&#x20AC;? Jamie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, we are back where we started, topside, across the courtyard from Whidbey Weekly,â&#x20AC;? Jamie said in closing.
