Story by David Svien coupevillesports.com Photos John Fisken oakharborsports.blogspot.com Steve Smith www.photosbysteve.com Coupeville travels to Port Townsend (3-2) next Friday, Oct. 10, visits Chimacum (0-5) the following week, then hosts Klahowya Oct. 24 for Homecoming. The Wolves wrap the regular season with a non-conference game at Concrete, reigniting an old-school rivalry, on Halloween night. Playing their first road game of the season after opening with four straight at home, the Wolves had their chances Friday night. Klahowya, which dropped down from 2A before this season and is one of the three biggest 1A schools in the state, fumbled the ball away on its first two possessions.

Photo by John Fisken Senior Dejon Devroe (21) finds an opening around the right side for a big gain in the 2nd quarter of Fridays’s 41-27 Homecoming win over Arlington. Devroe finished the game with 145 yards of rushing and 2 touchdowns on 13 carries.

OAK HARBOR VS. Arlington Dejon Devroe got Homecoming started off with a bang. The Oak Harbor High School star blasted through Arlington’s defense Friday, Oct. 3, tearing up his home turf for 145 yards and a pair of touchdown runs. By the time he was done, the Wildcats had a tidy 41-27 win and were ready to move on to the dance. Devroe put up on some nifty moves, scoring on a six-yard run to open the scoring, then tacking on a game-busting 77-yard sprint to the end zone shortly after the teams returned from the locker rooms at halftime. Oak Harbor put the game away fairly early, bolting out to a 27-14 lead at the half.

The Eagles packaged a nine-yard TD run and an 11-yard TD pass around Oak Harbor’s first, and only, punt of the game, which didn’t come until the 3:10 mark of the fourth quarter.

While the offense was clicking all night long, the defense had its moments as well.

For the game, the Eagle duo combined for 332 yards, with Langholff garnering 193 yards on 18 carries and Sargent rambling for 139 on just five carries.

First on the spotlight was Savion Passmore, who recovered two fumbles. He got to keep one, but had to give the second one back when an Oak Harbor teammate was flagged on the play.

COUPEVILLE VS. KLAHOWYA Good news first.

The ‘Cats tacked on a 21-yard touchdown toss from Clay Doughty to Dyllan Harris, before beating the clock to punch in a touchdown on a run by Princeton Lollar with a single second left on the first-half clock.

Bad news?

Arlington made the final score look a little more reasonable with a pair of touchdowns in garbage time.

Konner Langholff was Mr. Untouchable, strolling past the Wolf ‘d’ three times on scoring runs of seven, six and 13 yards. The sudden assault was punctuated when Klahowya senior Austin Sargent blew up the CHS line en route to an 89-yard scoring run of his own.

The Coupeville High School gridiron squad is in a three-way tie for first place in the 1A Olympic League at the halfway point of the season.

Devroe went ballistic, then ripped off another 23-yard stroll through the defense to set up a second TD pass from Doughty to Harris. This one went 10 yards.

Klahowya then broke things open with a fury in the second quarter, rolling up five straight touchdown drives to take a 35-0 lead into the half.

The win, which lifted Oak Harbor to 3-1 overall, 2-0 in the 3A Wesco, was a well-played affair on both sides of the ball for the ‘Cats.

After Devroe’s opener, Quinn Karney plunged in from the two-yard line to stretch the lead to 13-0 (the PAT was blocked).

Any hopes of a second-half comeback for Arlington were promptly squashed as Oak Harbor scored on its first two possessions after the break.

Unfortunately for Coupeville, the state’s smallest 1A school (with injuries they only suited 22 for the game) Eagles stiffened their own defense, shutting the Wolves down both times as well.

The Wolves are there because they played their worst game of the season — by far — falling 49-6 at Klahowya Friday, Oct. 3. The loss, combined with Port Townsend lighting up Chimacum 56-0, left Coupeville, Klahowya and Port Townsend at 2-1 in league play, with Chimacum bringing up the rear at 0-3. It’s a true tie, as well, with each of the three schools in first having beaten one of the others while losing to one of the others. Things will shake out over the next three weeks, as the Wolves (3-2 overall) pursue a playoff berth and get their second crack at their three new league rivals.

The hosts capped their incredible second quarter run with a 34-yard scoring pass from George Harris to Nate Hough, who tipped the ball to himself and snagged it over a Wolf defender who went to the ground. After Klahowya tacked on two more rushing TD’s in the second half, Coupeville avoided the shutout when backup quarterback CJ Smith hit Ryan Griggs on a nine-yard scoring strike late in the fourth. The junior shared QB duties with starter Joel Walstad, who was at less than 100% after suffering a hip pointer in last week’s win over Port Townsend. Smith hit on 7 of 10 passes for 87 yards, while Walstad struggled for the first time this season. The senior, who entered the game in the top five for 1A passers, completed just four passes for 32 yards. Josh Bayne hauled in three passes for 47 yards, while Griggs (3-28), Mitchell Carroll (2-15), Smith (2-12) and Jacob Martin (1-17) all chipped in. The Wolves, coming off of a game in which they rushed for 350+ yards, were held to 150 on the ground. Bayne got the majority of those, carrying the ball

OCTOBER 10

Oak Harbor VS. MARYSVILLE-GETCHELL at Marysville-Getchell HS, 7:00pm Coupeville vs. Port Townsend at Port Townsend HS, 5:00pm South Whidbey vs. Shorewood at South Whidbey HS, 7:00pm 14 times for 91 hard-earned yards. Wiley Hesselgrave (4-36), Martin (4-15), Walstad (1-4), Smith (1-3) and Mitchell Losey (1-1) rounded out the ball carriers. Coupeville was missing its second-leading rusher, junior Lathom Kelley, who was sidelined with a shin injury. The defense, which was missing senior captain Aaron Wright, also out with an injury, spread out the tackles. Bayne led the way with six, while Hesselgrave, Griggs and Oscar Liquidano each had four. Matt Shank (3), Isaac Vargas (3), Gabe Wynn (2), Dominic Dausey (2), Martin (1), CJ Smith (1), Jake Lord (1), Josh Lord (1) and Hunter Smith (1) all tracked down runaway Eagles and wrapped them up. Hesselgrave blew through the Klahowya line to haul down Harris for a six-yard loss on a sack and recovered a fumble to cap a strong all-around performance. Dausey and Hunter Smith also snagged fumble recoveries.

SOUTH WHIDBEY VS. ARCHBISHOP MURPHY ATM loves to see the scoreboard numbers change. That much is clear after Archbishop Thomas Murphy cleared the 40-point barrier for the fourth time in five games this season by blasting visiting South Whidbey 48-12 Friday Oct. 3. The win, which lifted ATM to 4-1 overall, 2-1 in 1A/2A Cascade Conference play was more of the same old, same old for the football factory. The only time the Wildcats have failed to top 40 this season was when they lost an 18-17 thriller to Lakewood. South Whidbey, which fell to 1-4, 1-2 under firstyear head coach Chris Tormey, who is transitioning to the high school game after a successful college coaching career, is having a little more trouble. Things won’t necessarily get any easier in the coming week, as King’s rolls onto Whidbey Oct. 10. The Knights, who sit atop the league standings at 3-0, have not racked up the same scoring numbers as ATM, but they can pile up the digits when needed, having scored 52 against Sultan. That doesn’t bode well for the Falcons, who have surrendered nearly 30 points a game this season, allowing opponents to score 143 points in five games.

OctOber 9 - OctOber 15, 2014

LocaLLy owned.

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

If horror writer Stephen King had married Rodney King, would they have gotten along? If Tuesday Weld had married Ted Knight, would she have changed her name to Tuesday Knight, or stayed with Tuesday is Welding Knight? When I asked Dennis Hopper once back stage if he was really the son of Hedda Hopper, do you think he wanted to spend anymore time with me?

LocaLLy operated. Eileen was a real columnist. She wrote about tough stuff, sharing her opinions, her wisdom, and her wit with anyone who cared to join her on her life-filled, weekly journeys.

Eileen was, and will continue to be, real. To read Eileen was to know Eileen. To know her was to love her. Wasn’t there a song called To Know Him Is To Love Him, by the Teddy Bears? 1958? Strike the word him and substitute Eileen.

When I look back at some of my Marine Corps pictures evidencing a lack of follicles and their corresponding hairs, I am reminded of today’s small wind storm that passed through my hairline. Nothing really happened.

I even got my own Coke.

You know you are bald when your shadow has no hair.

Eileen Brown was like the big sister I never had.

Clayton Moore, before becoming The Lone Ranger, was a production favorite at the Republic Pictures. In the 1940s’, Republic specialized in B western movies, as well as cliffhanger serials featuring heroes like Flash Gordon, Zorro, and The Cisco Kid.

We joked, we laughed, we commiserated, even if we had to look up the word in the dictionary. Eileen was as playful as a puppy, and as cute as a bug’s ear. Our dad always used that expression about the bug’s ear. Actually, I cannot say that I have ever seen one, but the expression works for Eileen. When our graphics editor Teresa told me about Eileen’s passing, my first thought was denial.

Moore portrays Jesse James in a kinder, gentler way. Moore’s fictional Jesse is a good guy who wears a three piece suit and black hat, and who is smitten on Linda Stirling (star of Republic’s Black Whip serials).

Insanity may be a better word.

Since The Lone Ranger never kissed Tonto, at least on the screen, it is not easy watching Moore clinch a woman. Were I watching this in a movie theater, I would have left my seat to go get popcorn.

Not really knowing what to do, I began reading some of Eileen’s most recent e-mails to me.

However, with a 12-16 minute serial cliffhanger, with a different episode featured every Saturday, the kissing does not last long enough to get candy at the counter. The Jesse James serial I am watching is quite exciting. After viewing the first episode, where The Black Raiders are terrorizing the local ranchers, I started to watch the second episode right away, but then realized I was cheating. These cliffhangers were made for kids when our moms let us spend our Saturdays in the local movie house, watching fifteen cartoons, a Republic serial, a newsreel, a double feature, and maybe a stage show. Twenty five cents and seven hours later we were outside playing in our front yards. Cheating? Well, it seems like I should not binge watch Jesse James Rides Again. While I could sit still to watch all the episodes at once, in three hours and three minutes, by doing so would I not be violating the intention of the producers? How can I hang off the cliff for a week if I start the next episode right away? I’ll let you know the week of January 11, 2015, if Jesse gets the girl, saves the ranchers’ land, acquires a fatherin-law, or opens a Chevron station on the oil-producing properties sought by The Black Raiders. For now, Jesse and The Black Whip are fighting for their lives on The Dixie Belle paddle boat while the bad guys are lighting the fuse for the kegs of dynamite on board. With twelve episodes to go, something tells me that both the leading man and the leading lady will survive the explosion just in time, or the rest of the serial will be about water safety. Goodnight Eileen This is the first time, in my forty plus years of writing columns to experience the tragic loss of a fellow columnist. Never have I worked for a newspaper when one of our staff family has died. Columnists are not known for being speechless. Losing a dear friend and work associate like Eileen Brown is tough duty. It is tough, and weird. When Eileen and I last spoke, among other things, we talked about our Whidbey Weekly readers, the joys of writing, the agony of deadlines, the multitude of misrepresentations by elected officials, our kids, my bunnies, her speed bumps, her grocery sacks, her broken wrist, our hearing losses, and her day with Bob Hope. Eileen spent a day with Bob Hope some days back, when she was a young girl in Chicago. What a great storyteller, Eileen was, and continues to be, with her Still Talking columns archived on line at www. whidbeyweekly.com in our digital library.

Fall has arrived ~ so has our good witch Lavendula bringing Folgate plants too!

As we read Eileen’s columns over the years, in this paper, as well as many others, we knew that we knew her.

My Sister Eileen was a funny little movie Mom took me to see for my birthday back in 1955. At the age of eight, there was nothing more glorious than enjoying a Cinemascope Technicolor movie on the big screen with Mom.

Jesse James Rides Again Last week, I began watching my latest DVD purchase, Jesse James Rides Again, a 13 episode Republic serial from 1947.

Or absurdity. Or unacceptable.

From July 2nd, with the subject line, What the Heck?

Re-Elect Sheilah Crider, Auditor

No wonder she ‘what the hecked’ me. From July 3rd, after I had asked her a question about something I forget, Eileen came back with Anthony Machado’s quote: Traveler, there is no path...the path is made by walking. When I replied to her e-mail quote above, I asked Eileen where she had heard that quote. She responded, as always, thoroughly, and swiftly: I found the quote on the wall of Swedish Medical Center (don’t ask which building) as my son and I waited for the shuttle between buildings. It was after 5 and our appointment with the head of neurosurgery ran late. The short quote was helpful in clearing my mind and helped me put the appointment behind me, for a while at least. In our last phone call, Eileen advised me to stand-up for myself regarding a personal matter, for which I sought her quick analysis. Her follow-up e-mail offered this: Glad you stood your ground. You don’t need anyone wiping their boots on you. Just once, I’d like to keep a straight face, not raise my voice and, with hands on my hips, head thrown back with attitude, say something Leonard Cohen once said: “Ring the bells that still can ring ; Forget your perfect offering; There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” Friends-r-us, EHB I know one thing. Never again will I sing Goodnight Irene. From now on, I shall sing Goodnight Eileen. We love you, Eileen, and we know that no matter in which area of Heaven you have arrived, you are, Still Talking! Guess what, Eileen. We are still reading. We are still listening. We are still knowing that you are now pain free for eternity. Knowing you, Eileen, has made each of us better people. As your buddy, Bob Hope, used to sing, “Thanks for the memories.” Onward and upward. Keep ‘em honest, up there.

It is an honor to serve the citizens of Island County as Auditor. I ask for your vote so that I can continue to do so. I bring: Strong Leadership Proven Accountability Experience in all divisions Trust & Reliability

Letters to the Editor Editor, I was extremely saddened when I opened my newspaper this morning to read that Eileen Brown had passed away. Whidbey Island has lost a great voice, one that provided comfort and humor to readers of her column in the Whidbey Weekly. Although I have been reading Eileen’s columns since our first visit to Whidbey Island many years ago, I only recently met this wonderful, warm woman in person. We talked about her columns with WAIF stories and the exploits of her dog Dilly. I told her how much I enjoyed her tales about local people and their lives. We talked about Parkinson’s and I complimented her on her determination to get out in public and stay involved with those who loved her. She ignored any personal discomfort and conducted herself with dignity as she spoke to me with warmth; I felt as though I had known her all my life. Eileen, know that you touched many people with your writings and brought comfort to your readers. Thank you for giving so much of yourself in “Still Talking.” You will be very missed. Wanda Grone, Coupeville

To all citizens, Once again I am pleased to announce the completion of another successful “DRUG TAKE BACK DAY” on Saturday, September 27, 2014. The Island County Sheriff’s Office, the Coupeville Marshal, and the Oak Harbor Police Department teamed up with DEA to collect over 270 pounds of unused prescription medication and other drugs from local citizens throughout Whidbey Island. A lot of narcotics with highly addictive potential were taken out of medicine cabinets in our community and will subsequently be destroyed in accordance with federal regulations thanks to this effort. I would like to also acknowledge the advertising assistance we received from social media in the area (Whidbey Weekly, Whidbey News Times, South Whidbey Record, Drew’s List, local government employees, local businesses and “word of mouth” amongst prior participants) spreading the message out about this program resulting in a very successful collaborative event that not only brings awareness to the inherent danger of “unused” prescription medication, but helps protect the environment of our Island as well. Finally my sincere thanks to the Oak Harbor Police Department who now provides a dropbox in their lobby which can be used for prescription drug disposal during the interim time between regularly scheduled Drug Take Back Events. Sincerely, Mark Brown, Island County Sheriff

Orcas are Coming to Puget Sound

Des Rock and crew are preparing a feast of smoked German sausages with black lager mustard and smoked Chicken drums in Reisling and cider sauce with sides of smoky bacon potato salad and sauerkraut slaw. Perfect fair to go with that stein of beer and Bavarian accordion music by David Locke. The evening promises great food and fun and will help fund future projects for Langley.

After spending most of the summer in the San Juan Islands, Southern Resident orca pods are likely to show up any day now venturing south into Puget Sound for the fall and early winter months. They typically travel down Admiralty Inlet to south of Vashon Island chasing chum salmon runs, often beginning around October 1. The mammal-eating Transient-type orcas are also often seen year around in Puget Sound. Orca Network has added a new map of north and central Puget Sound for volunteers and citizens to use to observe the whales from landbased viewpoints around the Sound, with descriptions of over 100 public viewing locations and directions to help find them. The new map is based on a Google map that can be zoomed in to each location, and can be accessed from this web page: www.orcanetwork.org/Viewpoints.html. Since the Federal listing of the Southern Resident Orcas under the Endangered Species Act, Orca Network has been assisting NOAA Fisheries and the Center for Whale Research to help track the winter travels of the Southern Residents both in Puget Sound and along the outer coast. Observers can help by calling in whale sightings immediately, so land-based observers can get out to see and photograph whales while they are in Puget Sound. Whale reports may be called in to Orca Network’s toll-free number: 1-866-ORCANET, emailed to info@orcanetwork. org, or posted on the Orca Network Facebook page: www.facebook.com/OrcaNetwork. Whale sightings from the public provide critical information about the travels of whales, and timely reports enable Orca Network to alert researchers who can then obtain photo identification and prey and fecal samples from the whales during their visits into Puget Sound. Please include species, location, time, direction of travel, approximate number of whales, and if there are any adult males (with large five - six foot dorsal fins). Also include any behaviors you may observe (breaching, spy-hops, feeding, etc). If you are able to obtain photographs, please send those to the email address above. All sightings are in turn shared with researchers, agencies, and the public through Orca Network’s Whale Sightings Email list, website and Facebook and Twitter pages. This time of year offers wonderful opportunities to observe the orcas from the many miles of shoreline on Whidbey Island, the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas, and the inland waters of Puget Sound. For fifteen years, Orca Network’s Whale Sighting Network has encouraged whale watching from shore, or from Washington State Ferries in the inland waters. The Orca Network website shows recent whale sightings as well as archives back to 2001, and now includes the new Sighting Viewpoints map.

Commercial Kitchen Open to Hobbyists and Entrepreneurs Finding a food processing facility open to smaller-scale businesses or even hobby cooks and bakers is essential for preparing and selling foods legally or to pursue large projects, but can be challenging. As an approved commercial kitchen, the South Whidbey Commercial Kitchen (SWIK) creates opportunity for area food entrepreneurs and hobby chefs by providing access to state-of-the art equipment for rent by-the-hour: a 6-burner stove, gas and convection ovens, refrigerator, freezer and stainless cooling racks, and stainless steel prep tables. The facility also features storage lockers for kitchen tools, small appliances and non-perishable dry goods. Created by Island County to provide kitchen space for new or existing food businesses, the facility is managed by the Northwest Agriculture Business Center, a local non-profit organization offering technical business assistance to northwest Washington farms and food businesses. Launched in 2006, NABC provides business development services to farm clients, connects farms to markets, and identifies and creates regional agriculture infrastructure through support of projects like SWIK. New to the program is a convenient online reservation system where users can check availability, make their own reservations, and even pre-pay. The webpage also provides information on requirements for use, and a simple application to mail in with payment and proof of insurance. The rate is $15 for the first hour, and $10 for each additional hour; lockers are available for $15 per month. To make a reservation or learn more, please visit the SWIK website at www.agbizcenter. org/SWIK.

Wanda Grone, Candidate (R) for Island County Treasurer Wanda Grone, CPA, is the Republican candidate for Island County Treasurer. She was the Chief Deputy Treasurer for Island County 2011 – 2014, fired by the incumbent after filing for election. Administration of the Treasurer’s responsibilities requires an individual with financial knowledge and successful work experience. Ms. Grone has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, is a CPA licensed in Washington, and a Certified Fraud Examiner. In addition to three years as chief deputy, she has more than 30 years of senior level accounting and financial analysis experience in private industry. Areas of expertise particularly relevant to the office of county treasurer are investment valuation, financial accounting, and fraud examination. Ms. Grone believes the Treasurer’s Office should be responsive and serve the public. She believes the Treasurer must be present during working hours – the public expects answers and action when calling the county, not excuses and delays. Phone calls, letters, and emails deserve prompt responses. This office has to produce accurate financial and property tax information on a timely basis while securing the county’s financial assets. The current Treasurer has not produced these results; change is needed. Ms. Grone believes that good leadership sets an example by showing the benefit and importance of hard work. The Treasurer must consistently assume part of the department’s workload. Ms. Grone has a strong work ethic, and the experience and personal characteristics necessary for the optimal performance of this office. She is the best qualified candidate for Island County Treasurer. Additional details can be found at www.wandagrone.com.

Open Enrollment: A Great Time to Review Your Retirement Plan You won’t see it on the calendar, and it doesn’t If you work for a medium-to-large company, you may now be entering the “open enrollment” period — that time of year when you get to make changes to your employee benefits. Your benefit package can be a big piece of your overall financial picture, so you’ll want to make the right moves — especially in regard to your employer-sponsored retirement plan. Take a close look at your 401(k) or similar plan, such as a 403(b), if you work for a school or a nonprofit group, or a 457(b), if you work for a state or local government. And keep these possible moves in mind: • Boost your contributions. If your salary has gone up over the past year, or if you just think you have a reasonable “cushion” in your disposable income, boost your contributions to your employer-sponsored retirement plan. Even if you can’t afford to contribute the maximum amount — which, in 2014, is $17,500, or $23,000 if you’re 50 or older — to your 401(k) or similar plan, try to put in as much as you can afford. Remember the key benefits of these plans: Your money can grow tax deferred and your contributions can lower your annual taxable income. (Keep in mind, though, that you will eventually be taxed on your withdrawals, and any withdrawals you take before you reach 59½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.) • Don’t miss the match. Try to take full advantage of your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. Your employer may match 50% of employee contributions, up to the first 6% of your salary. So if you’re only deferring 3% of your income, you are missing half the match — or leaving money “on the table,” so to speak. • Rebalance, if necessary. You may be able to change the investment mix of your employersponsored retirement plan throughout the year, but you might find that the best time to review your holdings and rebalance your portfolio is during open enrollment, when you’re reviewing all your benefit options. Try to determine if your investment allocation is still appropriate for your needs or if you own some investments that are chronically underperforming. And always keep in mind the need to diversify. Try to spread your money around a variety of investments within your plan, with the exact percentages of each investment depending on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. As you near retirement, you may need to lower your overall risk level, but even at this stage of your career, you’ll benefit from a diversified portfolio. While diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings. • Review your beneficiary designations. Your retirement plan’s beneficiary designations are important and, in fact, can even supersede the wishes you express in your will. So if you experience changes in your life — marriage, remarriage, a birth or an adoption, etc. — you’ll need to update the beneficiary designations on your 401(k) or similar plan. It won’t take much time today — and it can help prevent a lot of trouble tomorrow. You work hard for the money that goes into your retirement plan —so make sure your plan is working hard for you.

Locally owned.

Locally operated. In October 2004, she began working for Sound Publishing as a copy editor for the Whidbey edition of the Northwest Navigator, the regional newspaper that replaced the Crosswind. She also became a plank owner of the PBY Memorial Association in 1998 as she became a tireless worker for the PBY project.

EILEEN MARIE HILL BROWN Eileen Hill Brown was 73, when she died in Oak Harbor September 27, 2014. Anyone who picked up a newspaper on Whidbey Island over the last 30 years is familiar with her name as editor of the original base newspaper Crosswind for over 20 years, as “Life on Whidbey” weekly columnist in the Whidbey News Times’ Wednesday edition and “Still Talking” columnist in the Whidbey Weekly. Eileen was born in Chicago Feb. 16, 1941 to Marcus Stow Hill and Eileen Marie MacAvoy. As a young child, Eileen was placed in an orphanage and then lived with an abusive uncle. In spite of her difficult early life, Eileen became a very loving, responsible and extremely talented person. As a young lady, Eileen worked for several companies in product promotion. She quickly moved on to graphic art companies as a freelance writer. Soon her copy was found on the back of cereal boxes, direct mail and print ads. She worked for a time for Weyerhaeuser, for several Chicago businesses and the Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1960, Eileen moved to Washington State and began writing for KBRO Radio Bremerton. She was near her terminally ill father and stepmother who lived in Seattle. In 1971, Eileen married a Navy man Gene L. Cushway of Seattle. Their son Marcus Gene was born in Oakland, CA in 1972. The family came to Whidbey Island in 1974, settled in into their Penn Cove home. Eileen worked as visual merchandising supervisor for the Navy Exchange at the Seaplane Base, and was one of a large team of associates behind the conversion and opening in 1976 of the modern store in what had once been a WWII PBY Catalina seaplane hanger. On the advice of a neighbor, Eileen took the civil service exam and was hired as a clerk typist for public works. She quickly moved on to Public Affairs, but realized she wanted to be with the Crosswind newspaper office. Eileen joined the Crosswind in 1979 where she worked side-by-side with Editor Lee Brainard for six years. When Lee retired, Eileen applied for the job of editor and was promoted in 1985. The Crosswind received best Navy newspaper in 1980 and 1981 and picked up the coveted Thomas Jefferson Award for Best Armed Services Newspaper in 1980. One of her most treasured moments came in 2001 when she was named NAS Whidbey Island Civilian of the Year. When she retired in 2004, she received a Meritorious Civilian Service Award.

Eric Marshall, editor of the Whidbey Weekly, knew she was highly regarded in the community and persuaded her to once more tackle a weekly column called “Still Talking.” He was right. Readers loved her. Eileen is survived by her son Marcus G. Cushway and wife Nadine of Oak Harbor and by several cousins. She was preceded in death by her brother Mark Hill. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, October 12, 2014 at 2:00pm at Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, with Gary Wallin as Life Celebrant. A reception will follow.

LocaLLy owned.

LocaLLy operated. Astronauts shall be the envoys of mankind. OST is thus but a more dignified wording of MTP. The good behavior we should have learned in kindergarten is how we agreed we would conduct ourselves in space. The signatories were the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation and the treaty went into effect in October of 1967.

CHICKEN LITTLE AND THE ASTROLOGER by wesley Hallock

Ours is a world blessed with a plethora of piesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; humble pie, easy as pie, nice as pie, the not so nice cow pie and the rude pie in the face. For the cook there are fruit pies and meat pies and, yes, you in the dreadlocks, there are pot pies, but when grandma made them it was not what you think. For the diversified, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a finger in every pie, and for the over-diversified, a finger in too many pies. There is American Pie, the song, and American Pie, the movie, both of them American as apple pie. There is apple-pie order, pleasing to the efficiency expert. There is pie a la mode, pleasing to most everyone. Then there is pieeyed, pie-faced and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pie-O-Myâ&#x20AC;? the race horse. There is that Southern confection, the Moonpie. And for dreamers there is always pie in the sky. In pies we are blessed, but with the blessing comes a dilemma: how to cut the pie? The cutting of the pie is delicate business, for nothing arouses greed quicker. With the cutting of the pie comes the age-old question, who gets the biggest piece? The one rule of pie-cutting is guaranteed to keep everyone honest. The rule is both foolproof and simple: You cut, I choose.

Last week we compared the shadowy world of black projects to the comedy movie classic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.â&#x20AC;? We ended at the scene in which twenty people are slipping in and out of the bushes with picks and shovels, busily hiding from each other as they compete to see who will be first to find the buried cash. Ethel Merman as the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle-ax motherin-law with a belting voice and a bludgeoning oversized handbag outlines what is arguably a perfect plan for world peace. Her words should be shouted down the hole of every black project skunk works and secret underground laboratory on this planet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on out, all of you, this is ridiculous. Come on out, we all know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here and nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fooling anybody.â&#x20AC;? So began what we will hereafter call the Merman Truce Plan. MTP for short. The planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple logic: End the greedy secrecy and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work together. Everyone will get their fair share. Because there is magic in cooperation, MTP in the movie quickly leads Merman and company to the recovery of the pie--a suitcase full of cash. But before they can apply the one rule of pie-cutting, greed resurfaces in the form of a cop who scoops up the whole pie withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;here comes that word again--secret intent steal it. Before you know it the chase for the money is on again, and it does not end well. Proving once more that crimeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and secrecyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay.

In July of 2014, a bill called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ASTEROIDS Actâ&#x20AC;? (caps in the original) was introduced into congress. The BBC News outlined the reason for the bill: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Experts say mining asteroidsâ&#x20AC;Śfalls into a legal grey area unconceived of by legislators four decades ago.â&#x20AC;? But in truth itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the cutting of the pie: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entrepreneurs argue they should be able to own what they find. The costs are simply too great to risk having their discoveries taken from them by governments or competitors.â&#x20AC;? Say what? One can almost see Spockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyebrow rising in surprise. A check of the entrepreneursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arguments against the data base of the Enterprise computer produced this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;whirrrâ&#x20AC;Ś computingâ&#x20AC;ŚAmong the named entrepreneurial companies are SpaceX and Boeing, operating in 2014 under a $6.8 billion award from NASAâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recall your Earth history, Captain. NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money was government money. This means it represented all the American people. To privatize the gains made from such moneyâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Means bye, bye, Miss American Pie.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me, Captain?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was called having your piece of the pie and the other guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, too, Mr. Spock. Most unscrupulous.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most. It was a barbarous time in Earth history.â&#x20AC;?

Confronted with pie thieves determined to do an end run around MTP, OTS and the one rule of pie cutting by making off with the whole pieâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;baked in part using her moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;what is a mother-in-law to do? Belt the offender over the head with her baby-elephant sized handbag? Tempting as that may be, such unseemly aggression is neither kindergarten appropriate nor in the spirit of the Outer Space Treaty. Mother-in-law Mermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loud assignment of blame for everyone losing the cash was cut short, and quite rightly so, when she landed on her rump, victim of a careless step on a well-placed banana peel. So what is the solution to devious theft from the people? Mr. Spock? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vulcan history involved a similar problem, Captain. Our solution was obvious. It was even more obvious and simple than Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;you cut, I chooseâ&#x20AC;? rule of pie-cutting.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;More laws, more police?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unnecessary, Captain. The Vulcan solution was mass awareness. Theft ends where mass awareness begins. Mass awareness is bad news on thieveryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doorstep. Mass awareness is a banana peel under the heel of secrecy. Mass awareness is the spotlight shining into the skunk works that says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come on out, all of you, this is ridiculous. Come on out, we all know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here and nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fooling anybody.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It arose out of mass ignorance, Captain. Once we counteracted the cause with mass awareness, ending duplicitous behavior was logistically simple.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easy as pie.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe I said that.â&#x20AC;?

MILITARY MUSTER NAS Whidbey Island, Washington

October 9 - October 15, 2014

VP-40 plays role in SEACAT multinational exercise By Lt.j.g. M.J. Cacciapuoti VP-40 Public Affairs Combat Aircrew 4 (CAC-4) and Combat Aircrew 11 (CAC-11) of Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40) recently participated in the Southeast Asia Cooperation and Training (SEACAT) Exercise. Led by Mission Commanders Lt. Cmdr. Christine Felice (CAC-4) and Lt. Kevin Snyder (CAC-11), the crews’ four-day detachments were part of a large-scale multinational counter-piracy and antiterrorism exercise with liaison officers from the United States, Brunei, Indonesia, Republic of the Philippines (RP), Singapore and Thailand. VP-40 is currently deployed in the 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR).

By Lt. Dan Wood VAQ-142 Public Affairs Officer Electronic Attack Squadron 142 (VAQ-142) observed a formal change of command Oct. 1, 2014 at NAS Whidbey Island. Cmdr. David J. Rueter relieved Cmdr. Carlos A. Medina as the Commanding Officer of the Gray Wolves.

CAC-4 operated out of Clark Air Base in the RP. During SEACAT, CAC-4 provided aerial surveillance and support for the Vertical Boarding Search and Seizure (VBSS) phase of the exercise. The crew performed operations off the Philippine coasts of Puerto Princesa and Subic Bay, working with the USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG-108), two Philippine Navy ships, a Philippine islander patrol aircraft and an RP helicopter.

Medina reported to VAQ-142 as Executive Officer in April 2012, and assumed duties as Commanding Officer in June 2013. He led the squadron during a nine-month extended combat deployment onboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68) that included support of Operation Enduring Freedom and response to the Syrian chemical weapons crisis. Following this deployment, he led the squadron transition from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler.

“It was an excellent opportunity to show one of our allies how we support VBSS operations in the region,” said Felice. “It enabled us a chance to continue strengthening our relationship with the Philippine Armed Forces.” Hosted by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) out of Subang, Selangor, CAC-11 flew operational flights to the Strait of Malacca for collaborative training in maritime interdiction operations. The P-3C crew executed an intelligence surveillance reconnaissance mission on the USNS Rappahannock (T-AO-204) serving as the suspect vessel with joint interception and turnover coordination from a Singapore Fokker-50, operating out of Thailand. RMAF Capt Morgan was CAC-11’s gracious de facto crew liaison officer at Subang Airport and was presented with a VP-40 lithograph as a token of appreciation. Meanwhile, CAC-4 was accompanied by three members of the Philippine Army and Navy on board their P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft, and also presented them with a squadron lithograph. Snyder expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with the represen-

tatives of several participating nations, resulting in enhanced relationships and increased mission readiness. “We were granted a rare opportunity to operate out of Malaysia in the combined SEACAT effort which was a wonderful chance to better develop our foreign interoperability and build international relationships to keep our AOR safe and give our deployed crews the tools necessary for success moving forward,” said Snyder.

3195 or $1995

Under his watch, the Gray Wolves earned the 2013 Commander, Naval Air Force, Pacific Battle “E” and Squadron Blue “M” Awards, Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Safety “S” Award, Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet Retention Excellence Award, Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist pennant and were the Pacific Fleet recipients of the Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy. Medina will next report to USS Nimitz as the carrier’s navigator. USS Nimitz is currently stationed at Naval Station Everett.
