In Loving Memory of Eileen Brown ing music as an accomplishment guitarist. She loved you dearly! Eileen was an institution in Oak Harbor and NAS Whidbey Island. Your hard work will live on in the Crosswind and Northwest Navigator pages forever....

"By Eileen Brown" Tony Popp

"Although the passing of Eileen Brown gives me a heavy heart, it's her humor and love that make me smile having known her for 29 years. I literally owe my being on Whidbey Island to Eileen and the quality of life I continue to enjoy today. In early 1985 I was applying for civil service jobs in the areas of journalism and Public Affairs throughout Western Washington to move my family closer to the in-laws so our kids could have a better life than what was offered in California. When my resume had reached the NAS Whidbey Island Public Affairs, the editor of that time threw it in the trash. Eileen, knowing she would soon become editor, pulled my resume out of the trash so she could find an assistant editor. She worked with the command to get me up here on a Navy airlift from Alameda, Calif., and the rest is history. We worked at a team to make the base newspaper "Crosswind" the best in the fleet. With squadrons of A-6 Intruders and EA-6B Prowlers, we were inundated with news stories and photos every week. She strived to make it the Sailor's newspaper, telling their stories. She had a knack for writing features and headlines at the drop of a hat. She helped me grow professionally as a writer and a photographer. And she had a passion for history -- NAS Whidbey Island history particularly. I still remember the day when Win and Donna Stites came to our office in Bldg. 12 (Simard Hall) from their former home in Yakima, and how we all worked together to promote the PBY history at air station and watch the birth of the PBY Memorial Foundation. She passed that history torch to me, encouraging me to share stories of visitors who came to the base like relatives of the late Cmdr. William Ault and Cmdr. Charles Porter. She has been a part of my family, sharing meals and holidays together. We send her son Marcus our prayers. She was proud of Marcus in his accomplishments, having shared his school projects and artwork with me over his school years and to playing his amaz-

Red-headed and feisty, she was a voice to be reckoned with when I met her in 1985 when our family moved to the island and she was the editor of award-winning base newspaper called "Crosswind" (later Northwest Navigator). Eileen's commentaries and news articles (well researched and articulate) were always entertaining and spot on, reflecting the ambience of the Navy and the local workforce balanced with world events.

Through her efforts, weekly issues of the paper laid down the unique history of the base, providing everyone in the local area - and later world wide an honest and open look into the importance and value of the Navy's mission on Whidbey and the brave men and women who serve here. Her support, dedication and loyalty for the air station, the Whidbey community, the Public Affairs staff and me, personally, were unparalleled.

Eileen was well known in the community, was a plank owner of and primary historian for the establishment of the PBY Memorial Foundation and was the voice of Whidbey with her column "Still Talking" in the Whidbey Weekly. Eileen was a dear, close friend to many; sharing advice, love and wisdom. She will be missed by many, especially me.

Rest in Peace, Eileen.

After working many years with Eileen I learned to appreciate her humor and wit. I will forever remember how she was able to laugh at herself and in the process make us all laugh with her. Our office is just not the same knowing she will not walk through the door at any moment with a story to share. I was blessed to have had her as a part of my life and am comforted knowing we will one day meet again.

Teresa Pierzchala

I've known Eileen almost half my life. I met her in 1991 when I started working at the Whidbey NewsTimes. I was 25, and my first born was 7 weeks old. I had lost my mom just a few months prior and some of the ladies I met at this time like Eileen Brown became very important to me.

In December of that year I was putting an ad together In memory of my mom and Eileen saw it and said "I knew that pretty lady!" I said "You did? That's my mom!" Eileen told me how she had worked for my mother many years ago. My kinship with Eileen was formed that day.

Every Thursday Eileen and Tony Popp would come to the WNT to put together the Crosswind. We'd put oldies on the radio in production and a newspaper would get put together and to press in a day. We had a lot of good times back then.

When the Crosswind went away and became the Navigator and the production went elsewhere, and Eileen retired, I cried like a big baby like I was never going see her again.

She had a column with us at the WNT for a while, so I still got to see her, and eventually she went to work for the Whidbey Marketplace & News and I would pick that paper up every chance I got, just to read Eileen's column.

A year after she had been at that paper, I left the WNT and joined her.

I have enjoyed working with her again, at the Whidbey Weekly for almost 4 years now.

She has been a dear friend and a member of my family for 23 years and will be missed at our monthly coffee dates.

My heart goes out to her son Marcus, who she loved so dearly. I see their photo every day, as it hangs above my monitor at the office.

Work won't be the same for Eric, TJ and I. Our community won't be the same, our paper won't be the same, it'll be missing a column from a wonderful woman.

Teresa Besaw

I loved her sense of humor, enlightened or slightly in the gutterit made working with her such a fun and memorable experience! Parkinson's may have slowed her down physically but it couldn't harness her ball of fire personality. I'll sorely miss her way with words, fashionable style, sage advice, and love of people and animals. Eileen was a true original in everything she set her mind to.

The legacy she leaves will live on through others she touched throughout her life and I hope we can do her proud in not taking life too seriously by fully living each moment.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a very special part of the Whidbey Weekly family. Our dear friend and long-time columnist, Eileen Brown, passed away at her home this weekend. Eileen had been with the Whidbey Weekly since we published our first issue under the name Whidbey Marketplace & News in April 2009. For 283 consecutive weeks she graced our pages with her eloquent writing about the people, places and events of Whidbey Island, her home that she loved so much. For the past 5+ years, countless people have told me that Eileen’s column is the first thing they read when picking up our paper.

She touched so many lives, not only through her words, but through the strength, humor, compassion and selflessness she exuded daily.

Although she recently took a hiatus to mend her broken arm Eileen always had a home here at the Weekly.

While we are all deeply saddened by her loss, we are choosing to honor Eileen by remembering the love she had for her family, friends and community. Eileen is survived by her son Marcus and his family, along with many, many friends, who I am honored to be able to say I was one. Feel free to share your thoughts and memories of Eileen on our Facebook page and watch for special tributes to Eileen in upcoming issues of the Whidbey Weekly.

Four Spine-Tingling Mystery Authors Head for Coupeville Library It would It be a crime for mystery lovers to miss Monday afternoons at the Coupeville Library in October. The library will host a different author each week.

The Great Bear Rainforest is the featured program of the Whidbey Audubon Society on Thursday, October 9. Valerie Langer of ForestEthics Solutions explores the richness of forest life and the efforts to conserve it in her illustrated talk at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 NW Alexander Street, Coupeville.

The Great Bear Rainforest in the coastal region of British Columbia holds the largest tracts of ancient temperate rainforest in the world within its 15 million acres of fjords, mountains and valleys. It is home to grizzlies, rainforest wolves, five species of salmon, convocations of bald eagles, humpback whales, towering trees; and to the unique white-coated spirit bear, also known as the Kermode bear.

Valerie Langer is a cofounder of ForestEthics (www.forestethics.org) and is the Director of British Columbia Forest Campaigns for ForestEthics Solutions in Canada. She has been engaged in forest conservation campaigns for twenty-five years, working first with a grassroots group, Friends of Clayoquot Sound, for 18 years. She pioneered the market campaign strategy of influencing the practices of logging companies by engaging their commercial customer base. Since 2006 she has been working to implement the globally unique model of conservation promised through the Great Bear Rainforest agreements.

Langer holds a degree in Semiotics from University of Toronto. Her work has contributed to the conservation of over a million hectares (2.4 million acres) of biologically rich forestlands.

The meeting is free and the public is welcome to attend. The doors open at 7:00pm for socializing and refreshments, followed by a brief meeting, and the program begins at 7:30pm.

Last week South Whidbey Fire/EMS successfully passed a federal single audit, something required when an entity receives over $500,000 in federal grants in one year. The audit is to ensure the recipients are in compliance with local, state and federal laws and financial statements are scrutinized to ensure that funds are spent appropriately.

The grants which were reviewed totaled approximately $800,000 with $400,000 spent to improve dispatch radio system (in partnership with Camano Fire); and $356,000 for the new 32-foot emergency response vessel, plus a few smaller projects. This is the second successful audit for South Whidbey Fire/EMS in two years.

The state routinely audits fire departments every two years.

“These federal grant funds have been vital to our community. They allow our department to make capital improvements so we may provide a higher level of service to our citizens and visitors,” said Chief H.L. “Rusty” Palmer. “Not only are we successful in competing for and receiving federal grants, we have proven through our accountability that we manage the federal funds correctly.”

Whidbey Playhouse Announces Cast of “Run for Your Wife” The Whidbey Playhouse and director Bob Hendrix are pleased to announce the cast of “Run for Your Wife”. This superb example of the British farce will have audiences rolling in the aisles. A taxi driver gets away with having two wives in different areas of London because of his irregular working schedule. Complication is piled upon complication as the cabby tries to keep his double life from exploding.

Taxi driver John Smith (Jim Otruba), is the happiest man in the world - until one night, while saving an old lady from muggers; he’s knocked on the head and taken to the hospital. When he doesn’t come home; his wife in Wimbledon, Mary (Krista Ross), calls the police - and so does his wife in Streatham, Barbara (Shealyn Christie). Soon John is out of the hospital, racing to stop the police finding out he’s a bigamist and to stop his two wives finding out their cab driver husband has been taking them both for a ride. With best friend Stanley (Sean Hall) trying - and hilariously failing - to help, John ducks and dives to keep out of jail - and to save his marriages to the two women he truly loves.

This Amish Hummingbird Quilt Square can now be seen hanging on the side of the Periwinkle Barn at Hummingbird Farm in Oak Harbor.

The Barn Quilt Trail is a self-guided driving tour of the decorated barns with a map to locate and reference the known history of the barn, significance of the quilt block and the Barn Quilt sponsor.

Barn Quilts were first created in 2001 in Adams County, Ohio. Donna Sue Groves wanted to honor her mother, a celebrated quilter in the area, with a long promised quilt block painted on her barn. With the help of friends and volunteers, the Barn Quilt blocks spread to 20 the following year. That small art project planted the seeds for a continental movement. At last count there are now 42 states with over 4,000 Barn Quilts.

Some of the barns are on private property and must be viewed or photographed a respectful distance away.

There is a highly recognizable periwinkle barn on North Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, WA that now proudly displays its version of a barn quilt block. Hummingbird Farm, Nursery and Garden, located at the corner of Fort Nugent Road and Zylstra Road in Oak Harbor, regularly hosts crafters, gardeners and other merchants to the barn for fun and learning.

The cast is rounded out by Bobby the upstairs neighbor (Lance Garon), two Police Sergeants, Porterhouse (Thomas Clatterbuck) and Troughton (Ron Wilhelm), and a newspaper reporter (Ashley Sanders).

Barn and business owners Lee and Lorijean Spear have classes, sales and all the free advice you can carry. As a regular shopper, I recommend you shop first and then rest up a bit by working your way through the perennial garden inside the wooden fence. For all its tumble down charm, this garden pleases even without much fuss and is worth trying at home, a few plants at a time.

Tickets for “Run for Your Wife” are now available for purchase at the Whidbey Playhouse

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

May as well get the bad news out of the way.

That way, we can get on to the good.

The bad news – For the next six months, our Northwest nights will be longer than our Northwest days.

The good news is that during our hiatus from squinting, our libraries in the Sno-Isle system will never run out of books, music, or movies, no matter where the sun went.

Pop Corn In an effort to relive the childhood I never lived, my recent unnecessary Amazon purchases have included Buck Jones westerns on DVD, from 1935 (Outlawed Guns), 1936 (Sunset of Power), 1941 (Arizona Bound), and 1942 (Ghost Town Law).

LOcaLLy OpEratEd. Another member of the round table took a sip of his fifty cent cup of Whidbey Coffee before adding, “Hey Freeman, I bet you’d want to come back as a brownie. I know they wouldn’t let you join the Girl Scouts.�

As I grabbed my cart, I heard Pay-Less manager Tom Brown dialing 9-1-1, as he muttered under his breath, “I think Freeman may have had too much sugar.�

I loved watching the black and white western movies, before those vivid VistaVision and Technicolor color versions showed us more than we 4th graders could handle.

I slowly sank in my seat as the sun sank over Ivar’s.

At nine years old, I did not need a musical soundtrack that added nothing but multiple stimulation to my already over stimulated stimulations.

“I guess some guy is tired of his family. KIN DONE. What a statement.�

The look from the KIND ONE seated next to me was a bit out of character for her.

Travel Phobia We are coming up to that time of the year when I will be reluctant to drive outside our zip code.

I know the weather will be changing.

I know the moisture and the coolness and the slipperiness will begin to surface on our side roads.

The older I get, the less I want to load my pick-up with wood to weight it down for our climb up the driveway, when Mother Nature challenges Father Time.

When that dusty cinema sound consisted of nothing but horses galloping, I could, and still can, really notice how close John Wayne’s boots were to the ground while he was riding across the screen.

Mom Nature always wins.

Most assuredly, it is a good thing John Wayne’s cinema horse Duke never had to deal with speed bumps and road signs until The High and the Mighty.

Over Town When our Mississippi or Missouri grandmothers would suggest they had been “over town�, we always, as single-digit aged kids, considered their effort quite amazing.

To go “over town� actually meant leaving the safety of the front and back yards.

To go “over town� meant there might possibly be an acquisition on our behalf which would remind us why it was always more fun to visit our grandparents than it was to live with our parents.

Maybe we would have been more appreciative children had we just visited our parents. “Hi Mom, thought I would stop by for a Vienna sausage sandwich and some Fritos. I happened to be in the neighborhood seeing other kids’ parents to see where I might be able to sleep tonight.�

I wonder if our folks ever snuck out of the house.

Where can one go if in one sneaks out of the house to go “over town�? Everything is closed but the bars Grandpa used to go in.

Pastry Thoughts The other morning at the Pay-Less bakery, I was asking a gathering of retired joggers and weightlifters what pastry they would be if they could be the pastry of their choice in their next life.

The question, of course, threw them off because they were eating their answers at the time.

One gentleman offered that he would like to come back as a glazed donut. “Just like you, with those sticky fingers of yours.

When is the last time you ever bought me a maple bar?�

One of the fellows, wearing a baseball hat, but carrying no glove, remarked that he would like to come back as a cheesecake, or, in the alternative, a Key lime pie. “That makes sense. You’ve always liked Hemingway.�

Why do I think I am in a Dodge Ram commercial every time I drive up my slippery driveway in my sixbanger, rear wheel-drive Chevy, where persistence and lunacy grip the road?

A Mad Ad. The vision of an angry rear wheel drive truck owner slamming his door before carrying his sacks of groceries up a snow-filled hill.

Community Pot Luck

As the laughter began to rise amongst those gathered, I picked up a chair, smashed it into a row of Êclairs, Bismarck’s, and cake donuts with sprinkles, and went about my shopping.

While the technology of sound on celluloid, within the art form of western cinema, galloped along fairly swiftly during those seven years, Buck, and his horse Silver, were able to maintain a predictable consistency of presenting good over evil, with black and white blood.

Instead, let me homestead those prior thoughts of ineptitude as we move on to a paragraph filled with opportunity.

After Life, After Hours As many of us have discovered, the Internet world offers many the chance to espouse greatness or wisdom in areas of unchartedness. The printed word, whether on paper, or transmitted digitally to devices, offers instant credibility to the unknowing, as well as the known. If seeing is believing, we can, and will, believe just about anything.

A recent search of question and answer based Internet know-it-alls offered the below italicized answer to the question of whether or not we will recognize our families and our friends when we join them in the afterlife. “There is no question that each of us, upon arrival, will be welcomed by energetic and appreciative loved ones who will manifest recognizable attributes. Because time does not exist in any form, or in the form or substance to which we are accustomed, no one will be in a hurry to go anywhere, thereby giving each and every new arrival time to finish all previously forgotten conversations.�

Sure hope my high school principal, Mr. Kauffman, is not one of the greeters.

We left a lot unsaid.

CHICKEN LITTLE AND THE ASTROLOGER

By Wesley Hallock

Maybe it was the herbs in last night’s herbal ale. Maybe it was your new organic shampoo.

Whatever the reason, you’re feeling especially lucid this morning. So lucid, you are still on your first cup of coffee when you discover a mistaken equation in a university science book.

You quickly jot the correction on the back of an envelope before it slips your mind.

“Whirrr...computing…Illogical! That is $6.8 billion to accomplish low priority tasks. As a high priority the 3-D printer should have been delivered more than a decade earlier.

Spock: On-site 3-D printing of needed objects was a quantum leap forward in Earth’s early space exploration, making it a high priority.

The inevitable conclusion is that a second space program with superior funding and technology existed beneath the surface NASA program.

Over a second cup of coffee, you start a Santa Claus list of things science can do with this new equation: End pollution. End poverty. End hunger. Green the deserts. Render oil, coal and gas as obsolete as vinyl 45s. Bring the troops home. Sure. Why not? You’ve just ended scarcity and lack—what is left to fight about?

Kirk: “Computer, you just said that with the 2014 delivery of the 3-D printer someone made a lot of money doing publicly what had already been done secretly. Analyze and explain.”

Now what? Do you copy this equation into the body of an email, address it to every science lab and think tank on Earth and hit send? Or do you slide the envelope with its equation across the table with a low whisper to your Mafia don? (“Godfather, a good business man could make some real money with this….as a family secret, of course.”)

Spock: “Early 21st Century Earth was notably greedy, Captain. I believe the vernacular was, ‘Money talks, sentiment walks.’”

World peace or big bucks? It’s a no-brainer.

You’re very fond of your precious 45s. You also have a motto: “Money talks, sentiment walks.”

You go for the bucks.

Blame it on the ale.

* iÊ­ÎÈä®ÈnÓ ÓÎ{£ÊUÊ >ÝÊ­ÎÈä®ÈnÓ ÓÎ{{Ê

Captain Kirk: “Computer, note that SpaceX delivered the 3-D printer to the Space Station under a new contract with NASA that included an award of $2.6 billion. Note also that NASA granted Boeing a similar transport contract with an award of $4.2 billion. Analyze and report.”

Last week, in the course of sniffing out the skunk in the Lockheed Skunk Works, the world’s PLEASE CHECK ONE foremost science research lab, we quoted former Works ¯ Yes, readySkunk to go as is head Ben Rich: “We already have thewith means to travel among the stars, but these ¯ Ready to go corrections technologies are locked up in black projects and ¯ Need to see corrected proof it would take an act of God to get them out to benefit humanity….Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.”

How do they know? “We found an error in the equations,” Rich reputedly said, “and now we can take ET home.”

We can take ET home, but we haven’t solved rush hour gridlock.

More ale, anyone?

‘Black projects,’ also known as secret access programs, are equivalent to the deepest of mafia family secrets. (“You don’t tell nobody nuttin’, see; you talk, you die.”) Buried within the Department of Defense are an estimated 150 of these secret access programs. The black budget for black projects in 2009, as estimated by the New York Times, was $50 billion. That’s a lot of black.

Black budget money results occasionally in a technology dribbled out to the public, 3-D printing being a recent example. But the lag time between creation of a technology and its unveiling is long. 3-D printers had been in existence for 21 years before the public got them.

The lag time for NASA to benefit from secret technology is apparently even longer. The first 3-D printer to reach the International Space Station is being delivered by a SpaceX cargo ship as these lines are written on September 23. The printer will print out a few test parts that will be sent immediately down to Earth. Researchers want to know how the quality of items made in microgravity compares to items made on Earth.

Wait! Stop the 3-D printer! Let’s build a timeline: First 3-D printer made - 1984. Space Station fully staffed and under continuous occupation - November of 2000 to present. First affordable 3-D printers in home use - 2005. First arrival of

“Whirrr…computing… Public awareness was raised only after positioning the right people to maximize profits from 3-D printing technology.”

In the epic big-screen comedy, “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” the last words of a dying man reveal the location of a fortune in buried cash. Hearing this, a small group of onlookers each has the same immediate reaction: pretended non-interest, while secretly planning to lose the others and grab the cash. Sound familiar? The powers that be have been pretending non-interest in the Moon since 1972.

The big-screen group can’t escape each other, and so must agree on a fair way to divide the money they have yet to find. Again, sound familiar? The asteroids have been ranked for dollar value and haggling has begun over rights to mine them.

Mutual suspicion and crooked accounting kills negotiations among the big-screen group and civil behavior is quickly abandoned. A mad (mad, mad, mad) cross country race ensues, winner take all. By twos and threes they arrive at the site of the buried loot carrying picks and shovels.

Secrecy prevails amid much hiding in the bushes.

Sound familiar? It should. China arrived quietly on the Moon, recently--and promptly turned off their landing craft’s TV camera.

With twenty furtive people skulking in the bushes looking for the cash, one among the bigscreen group awakens to reality. Ethel Merman as the battle-ax mother-in-law with a belting voice and a bludgeoning oversized handbag, finally yells, “Come on out, all of you, this is ridiculous. Come on out, we all know we’re here and nobody’s fooling anybody.

“Look, why are we wasting so much time? We all know that we’re all here and we all know that if anybody finds the money, nobody’s gonna get away with it unless everybody gets a share.

So why don’t we get sensible and get this thing organized?”

Good question. How about it, skunk workers?

Anyone up for the perfect peace plan?

Next week: How the plan worked out for Ethel.

OAK HARBOR VS. ARLINGTON at Oak Harbor HS, 7:00pm COUPEVILLE VS. KLAHOWYA at Klahowya HS, 7:00pm

Story by David Svien coupevillesports.com Photos John Fisken oakharborsports.blogspot.com Steve Smith www.photosbysteve.com But the Redhawks hopes died a sudden death when Bayne stepped in front of a pass and picked it off with under two minutes on the game clock.

In the biggest performance of his stellar high school career, Kelley, a junior, rambled for 189 yards on 14 carries.

Bayne, who entered the game as the leading rusher in 1A, tacked on 144 more on 18 carries, while Wiley Hesselgrave (25), CJ Smith (9), Jacob Martin (7) and Walstad (2) all chipped in to a 376-yard team effort.

Walstad (82 yards) and his backup, Smith (12), accounted for 94 passing yards, with junior Ryan Griggs hauling in six passes for a team-high 60 yards.

Smith (2-18), Bayne (2-12) and Hesselgrave (1-4) also made sweet targets.

Photo by Steve Smith South Whidbey’s offensive line was key in the Falcons’ win against Granite Falls Friday night.

SOUTH WHIDBEY VS. GRANITE FALLS They finally got to the promised land.

After dropping their first three games under new coach Chris Tormey, the South Whidbey High School football squad found the winning touch Friday, Sept.

26, drilling visiting Granite Falls 43-21.

Klahowya (1-3, 1-1) which nipped Chimacum (0-4, 0-2) 36-26 Friday.

The Wolves, who opened with four straight home games, will now take their electric big-yardage show on the road.

The Wolf defense stepped up multiple times, picking off four passes. Bayne hauled in two, while both Smith brothers (CJ and Hunter) snared one as well.

Senior two-way lineman Shank was a rampaging beast, knocking down a pass and collecting the safety on a QB sack, while Walstad recovered a fumble on a kickoff.

They play four of their final five games away from Whidbey, starting with a first-ever meeting with Klahowya next Friday, Oct. 3.

Bayne paced the Wolf ‘d’ with eight tackles, followed

by Hesselgrave (6), Oscar Liquidano (4), Kelley (3), Shank (2), Brenden Gilbert (1), Aaron Wright (1) and Isaac Vargas (1).

The win lifted the Falcons to 1-3 overall, 1-1 in the 1A/2A Cascade Conference. Granite Falls dropped to 1-3, 0-2.

Facing a Redhawk squad that had won two straight and was being touted as a Top-Ten team in the polls, Coupeville came out on fire.

Along with the win, Coupeville also got welcome news when senior lineman Carson Risner returned to the lineup.

Things will get tougher for South Whidbey, as it travels to Everett Oct. 3 to face a high-flying 3-1 Archbishop Thomas Murphy squad.

Using a pounding ground game (and a few trick plays), the Wolves rolled to a 29-7 lead midway through the second quarter, then withstood a late Port Townsend rally to nail down the win.

A team captain and vocal leader, he had missed the team’s first three games with knee problems, with Shank covering for him at center.

In their continuing quest to get as little coverage as possible, no stats or game info was made available by the Falcon coaching staff.

Kelley crashed in from six yards out to open the scoring less than five minutes into the game.

COUPEVILLE VS. PORT TOWNSEND

Port Townsend responded quickly, tying things up with their own 14-yard scoring run three minutes later, but the Wolves never flinched.

The experts were wrong. Every single one of them.

Wolf quarterback Joel Walstad, who left the game in the third quarter with a hip pointer (he’s expected to be OK), plunged in from the two-yard line on a sneak, before Coupeville blew the game open with a bit of treachery.

Every newspaper reporter who predicts winners and losers for football games. Every computer.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

The Port Townsend High School football team arrived on Whidbey Friday, Sept. 26 already anointed as the champion in waiting of the 1A Olympic League.

Then, Lathom Kelley and Josh Bayne punched the Redhawks in the face and claimed first place for Cow Town.

By the time the Coupeville duo were done, rolling up a combined 333 yards on the ground, the Wolves had captured a thrilling 29-21 victory and staked a claim to sole possession of first place in the league.

With the win, CHS improved to 3-1 overall, 2-0 in league play.

Port Townsend (2-2, 1-1) dropped into a tie with

Clinging to a 14-7 lead, CHS coach Tony Maggio called for a fake punt and Kelley broke through the defense on a 46-yard scoring jaunt, leaving the Redhawks with their jaws scraping the turf.

Not done there, the Wolves tacked on a safety by Matt Shank and a third TD run from Kelley — this one went eight yards.

About the only miscue Coupeville had was a failure to tack on a two-point conversion after the final TD run.

Port Townsend rallied the troops in the second half, scoring twice to get within a touchdown and twopoint conversion of forcing overtime.

SOUTH WHIDBEY VS. ARCH. MURPHY at Archbishop Murphy HS, 7:00pm long, the ‘Cats punched in another score on a fouryard run from Princeton Lollar.

Everett, for a moment or two, seemed to find a rhythm, and suddenly looked like it would mount a challenge. A long drive took the Seagulls to a first and goal on the OH nine-yard line, only to stall out just as quickly.

After a run took them to the three, a botched handoff, a batted pass and a fade to the end zone that was snagged out of bounds forced Everett to turn the ball over with nothing to show for the drive.

Full of confidence, Oak Harbor then cracked the game wide open with four touchdowns in a seven minute stretch.

Devroe hauled in a 21-yard scoring strike from ‘Cat QB Clay Doughty, before Mike Laningham took a pick-six back 33 yards to thoroughly break Everett’s already-fragile psyche.

With the game getting out of hand, Devroe decided to get most of his yardage on one play, cracking off a 72-yard scoring run where he had a five-yard lead on the nearest would-be tackler as he flew down the sideline.

Oak Harbor capped things off with a 25-yard touchdown run from Zach Jones right before the halftime buzzer.

Mark Johnston cranked his sixth straight successful PAT through the uprights to send the ‘Cats into the locker room up 42-0, and, after that, it was a chance for the Oak Harbor subs to play the second half, with a running clock and a driving rain as their companions.

OAK HARBOR VS. EVERETT No rust on these guys.

Not having played in two weeks, the Oak Harbor High School football team came out of a bye week rested, healthy and ready to crack heads.

And that’s what they did, crushing host Everett 42-0 Friday, Sept. 26 in a game that could have been called at halftime without altering the final score.

Sparked by the running of Dejon Devroe, who cruised to 136 yards on just seven carries, the Wildcats scored twice in the opening quarter, then blew the hinges off the door with a 28-point second quarter.

The victory lifted Oak Harbor to 2-1 overall, 1-0 in 3A Wesco play.

Devroe opened the scoring with the first of his three touchdowns on the night, a short 14-yard jaunt to the end zone less than three minutes into the game.

The seven-play, 68-yard drive was aided by a crucial 15-yard penalty called on Everett, which already looked like it was ready to call it quits, go home and watch a little Netflix.

Not content to let a modest 7-0 lead sit out there for

MILITARY MUSTER NAS Whidbey Island, Washington

October 2 - October 8, 2014

VP-40 flies from Philippines for CARAT exercise Lt.j.g. M.J. Cacciapuoti VP-40 Public Affairs Combat Air Crew Nine (CAC-9) from Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40) recently participated in the 20th Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT), an annual exercise between the United States and the Philippine Navy. Accompanying them was one of VP-40’s P-3C antisubmarine aircraft and a talented and dedicated maintenance crew. VP-40 is currently on deployment in the 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR).

Led by Mission Commander, Lt. Cmdr. Matthew McKerring, CAC-9 provided support and training to several elements of both U.S. and Philippine forces. On the ground, CAC-9 met with pilots of a Philippine twin-engine BN-2 Islander aircraft and AW-109 helicopters, providing briefs and training on subjects ranging from crew resource management skills to search and rescue (SAR) tactics. In the air, the crew provided real world training on maritime surveillance for the Islander crew and SAR training to the AW-109 crew.

Later on in the detachment, CAC-9 trained with the USS John S. McCain (DDG-56), participating in detect to engage training, along with testing the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer’s weapons and radar systems.

McKerring expressed gratitude on behalf of his crew for the opportunity to operate and train with the Philippine Navy and the USS John S. McCain.

“It was an honor and a privilege to work with such dedicated professionals on this detachment, especially with a valued ally of our nation,” said McKerring. “We all had a fabulous time and really enjoyed swapping stories

with our counterparts.”

CAC-9 also met with the local community, providing a tour of their aircraft to a company of local Subic Bay firefighters. They also gave a tour and interviews to several Philippine media

outlets, including reporters Lorenzo Ongkiko of the nationwide TV5 network and Ernesto Esconde of The Manila Times, further strengthening the communal ties between the U.S. and one of its strongest allies in the Pacific.

Detachment reunites VP-40 Navy officer with family after 20 years Emergency call

By Lt.j.g. M.J. Cacciapuoti sends NAS VP-40 Public Affairs Whidbey Island SAR to Orcas Island A small, crowded bus pulls up to the entrance of the all but abandoned Subic Bay International Airport. A group of 26 members of the Urbina family exit the crowded bus one by one as they are escorted through an empty terminal and onto the flight line.

A Search and Rescue (SAR) team from Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island flew an emergency medical evacuation early Saturday afternoon on Sept. 27, 2014 for a 76-year-old man from Orcas Island. The initial call was he was suffering from a cardiac arrest, but was found to be suffering from a herniating hemorrhagic stroke. With no civilian emergency medical airlift available, the MH-60S Knighthawk aircrew of six personnel including two Navy corpsmen got the man to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham, WA.

Awaiting them is a lone P-3C anti-submarine aircraft. Escorting them is

After a two-hour bus trip from their hometown of Manila, the Urbina family is invited on board the P-3C Orion and given a grand tour of the anti-submarine and reconnaissance aircraft, led by the officers and Aircrew Warfare Specialists of CAC-9. Among the relatives of the Urbina family is her 82-year-old grandfather Pascasio and grandmother Elena.

This provided a unique opportunity for Yoshimura’s birth family to meet with her Navy family, all while learning about the amazing work their granddaughter does on a daily basis.

“My Filipino family has always been very supportive of me as an American service member,” said Yoshimura. “I am very blessed to have their support despite the distance and time apart. They are the hardest working people I know, and have inspired me throughout my naval career through their devotion to family, community and God. This short visit has given me the opportunity to be a part of their everyday life and share in their culture as well as show them what I do in the United States Navy.”

NAS Whidbey Island SAR has launched on 22 search and rescue missions and four medical evacuations this year, resulting in 37 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. The base also has an agreement to assist Washington State with medical evacuations and search and rescue activities.

Naval Flight Officer Lt. Elena Yoshimura, whom the Urbina family hasn’t seen since she was 7 years old. Yoshimura, Tactical Coordinator (TACCO) of Combat Air Crew Nine (CAC-9) of Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40), is meeting her mother’s extended family for the first time in over 20 years during her crew’s detachment to the Philippine Islands. VP-40 is currently on deployment in the 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility, based in Kadena and Misawa, Japan.

Yoshimura is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and currently serves VP-40 as one of its senior instructor TACCOs. As a Naval Flight Officer she has served five years in the Navy, over half that time with VP-40. Her father is a retired Japanese-American Sailor, STS1 Frank Yoshimura.

A meeting with Eileen

Whidbey Island Since 1961

By Jason Leman

I met Eileen Brown for the first and last time September 26, 2014. My condolences go out to everyone who was close to and knew her. What a great woman. In our meeting, I saw what true strength really is and I am humbled to say that everyone else’s needs came first in her life. We only met for an hour and that’s all it took for me to see her greatness and the power of Jesus Christ at work in our lives. The energy she brought into our meeting was enlightening and joyous. I only knew her for an hour but what a great hour.

Thank You Eileen Brown and the Whidbey Weekly Team for everything you have done for me and my company.

FALL IS HERE & WINTER IS COMING!

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.
