OCTOBER 24

Oak Harbor VS. MARYSVILLE-PILCHUCK at Oak Harbor HS, 7:00pm

Story by David Svien coupevillesports.com Photos John Fisken oakharborsports.blogspot.com Steve Smith www.photosbysteve.com

COUPEVILLE VS. CHIMACUM Running wild in the daytime Friday, Oct. 17 (kickoff was a painfully early 3 PM), Josh Bayne amassed 400 total yards and six touchdowns, powering the Coupeville High School football team to a 57-14 decimation of host Chimacum.

It also guaranteed them a straight-up battle for a playoff spot seven days later.

With Port Townsend shredding host Klahowya 27-9 in a late game Friday, the Redhawks clinched at least a tie for the league title.

OAK HARBOR VS. STANWOOD Destiny.

After rolling hapless Stanwood 56-13 Friday, Oct. 17, the Oak Harbor High School football squad is headed towards the showdown game everyone expected from the first play of the season.

The Wildcats (5-1 overall, 4-0 in the 3A Wesco North) will host Marysville-Pilchuck (6-1, 4-0) Oct. 24, as the two teams will face off for the division title for the third consecutive season.

Now the only trick is to change its fate, as Oak Harbor has lost those last two meetings.

The ‘Cats took care of business along the way, refusing to look past Stanwood and instead opting to merely bury them.

Quickly and efficiently. After forcing a punt on the opening possession, holding Stanwood to five yards on three plays, Oak Harbor drove 57 yards for a touchdown in just three short, brutal plays.

Princeton Lollar grabbed the final 39 yards himself, bolting to the end zone for the first of many Wildcat scores on the evening.

Then, for one brief, fleeting moment the hosts seemed to think they had a shot to upend their powerful Whidbey rivals.

After setting the ‘Cat defense on its heels with a long pass, Stanwood used a 21-yard run to potentially even things up.

The moment was gone in a flash, however, as the extra point was short, leaving Oak Harbor clinging to a 7-6 lead.

Bolstered, perhaps, by the whim of fate, the Wildcats rolled off seven consecutive first-half touchdowns to thoroughly destroy the will of the Spartans.

The rout was so bad, it was 42-6 before the FIRST QUARTER ended.

Stanwood wouldn’t see the end zone again until the first play of the fourth quarter, when they punched the ball in from three yards out against an Oak Harbor defense that was playing its scrubs at that point.

The Wildcats, who had a lot more chances to celebrate touchdowns than Stanwood, spread out the scoring load.

Lollar added a 30-yard scoring strike from Clay Doughty for his second TD, while Dejon Devroe matched Lollar with two scores. He hauled in a 35-yard pass from Doughty for one and ran 42 yards for the other.

Dyllan Harris (69-yard kickoff return), Zach Jones (29-yard run), Chris Humphries (23-yard fumble return) and Quinn Karney (1-yard run) also scored for Oak Harbor.

After that, it was all Wolves, all the time, as they poured it on with a 36-point second half that included a fourth-quarter safety from JR Pendergrass.

The CHS defense was lights-out for much of the game, with Pendergrass, Matt Shank and Aaron Wright recording sacks and CJ Smith picking off a pass.

The win snapped a two-game skid for the Wolves, lifting them to 4-3 overall, 3-2 in Olympic League play.

Dyllan Harris (22) stretches for an extra yard near the goal line late in the 2nd quarter of Oak Harbor’s 56-13 win over Stanwood. Harris was marked down at the 1 yard line. Teammate Quinn Karney carried the ball in for the score.

South Whidbey vs. Lakewood at South Whidbey HS, 7:00pm Coupeville up 21-6 at the break.

There were no Friday Night Lights, just one bright shining star to light up the sky.

Coupeville vs. KLAHOWYA at Coupeville HS, 7:00pm

Port Townsend (5-2, 4-1) will close out league play with a rivalry game against Chimacum (0-7, 0-5) Oct. 24. Coupeville will host Klahowya (3-4, 3-2) the same night, as the Wolves celebrate Homecoming.

Hesselgrave was a beast on the defensive side, collecting 10 tackles and three assists, while Bayne snagged eight tackles.

Shank (5), Wright (5), Hunter Smith (5), Jacob Martin (4), Dominic Dausey (3) and Mitchell Carroll (3) all stepped up as well.

With top receiver Ryan Griggs slowed by an injury, Walstad picked up a few new targets.

Carroll and Cameron Toomey-Stout both hauled in 12-yard passes to back up Bayne (3-64) and Hesselgrave (1-23).

With the running game clicking at all times, Coupeville almost had three backs hit 100 yards.

Barring an epic upset by Chimacum (bigger than David smiting Goliath with his stone or the US Olympic hockey squad giving Russia a wedgie during the Cold War), the Coupeville/Klahowya grudge match will be for the league’s #2 playoff berth.

Sophomore Jacob Martin cruised to 80 yards on seven carries to back up Bayne and Hesselgrave.

Walstad (1-15), Kleinfelter (1-14) and Mitchell Losey (3-2) chipped in.

The Wolves put themselves into position to play for a playoff berth by reigniting their running attack.

All total Coupeville rolled up 705 all-purpose yards (528 run, 111 pass, 66 return).

After being shut down a week earlier by Port Townsend, they shredded every last bit of resistance Chimacum could muster, rolling up 528 yards on the ground.

SOUTH WHIDBEY VS. CEDARCREST

Bayne went for 306 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, while Wiley Hesselgrave pounded off tackle for another 111.

It was close, at least.

With the rushing attack working so well, Wolf quarterback Joel Walstad, still a bit gimpy as he recovers from a hip pointer, wasn’t asked to carry a huge burden.

After being rolled by Cascade Conference heavy hitters Archbishop Thomas Murphy and Kings the previous two weeks, South Whidbey High School played fairly evenly with host Cedarcrest Friday, Oct. 17.

Down by just two at the half, the Falcons rallied for a fourth-quarter touchdown but came up short on a game-tying two-point conversion, falling 22-20 to the Red Wolves.

When he did throw, though, he did it with precision, completing six passes for 111 yards.

Half of Walstad’s completions went for touchdowns, with Bayne hauling in all three scoring strikes, with the longest a 33-yard catch-and-run.

With 306 yards on the ground, 64 through the air and 30 on a kickoff return, Bayne hit the magic 400-yard mark right on the head.

Hesselgrave and sophomore Chance Kleinfelter joined Bayne in reaching the end zone, with Kleinfelter turning his first varsity rushing attempt into a 14-yard TD run.

The game was relatively close in the first half, with

The loss dropped South Whidbey to 1-6 overall, 0-4 in the 1A/2A league.

The Falcons travel to Lakewood Oct. 24 to play one of the bigger 2A schools in the conference.

The Cougars are 4-3, 4-1 and are tied with ATM, a game off of Kings’ in the league standings.

No stats were made available for the South Whidbey/Cedarcrest game.

OctOber 23 - OctOber 29, 2014

LocaLLy owned.

On TRACk with Jim Freeman

LocaLLy operated.

Our moms taught us to appreciate a job well done: “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.”

Shall we begin with the best joke of the week?

Our moms taught us about religion: “You better pray that will come out of the carpet.”

Thanks to PayLess Patricia for arousing our mental acumen with this family inquiry– What do you call a cow after she has given birth?

Our dads taught us about time travel: “If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week!”

Our dads taught us about logic: “ Because I said so, that’s why.”

Decalfinated.

Our moms taught us about more logic: “If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you’re not going to the store with me.”

I can almost hear the laughter now by the PayLess bakery cash register, right next to the double fudge brownies.

Our moms taught us foresight: “Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you’re in an accident.”

Grin down the Bear During the past week, the wild bunnies and I have enjoyed watching the Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier episodes that Walt Disney produced in 1954, back when we watched as a family, on our black and white, 10 inch, RCA TV.

Our dads taught us about irony: “Keep crying, and I’ll give you something to cry about.”

Sixty years later, we can enjoy the compilation of the three episodes in full color, on DVD. Such pleasurable viewing has reminded me of the acting skills which Fess Parker brought to his interpretation of Davy Crockett.

Remember the scene when Davy finds out that President Jackson has lied to him about the legislation pending regarding Native Americans?

Thanks to the Internet, some Davy fan crazier than me took the time to transcribe the scene for our enjoyment.

“Mr. Speaker: Fellow members of the Congress of these United States; I’ve stood before you a good many times in fights and fun. And we’ve had a laugh or two for the good of the country and our own digestion. But you can fold up your grins and put ‘em away, for you’ll hear no jokes from Davy Crockett today. You have before you something called an Indian bill. I don’t aim to keep you here much longer arguing about it; you’ve had enough of that already.

But before it comes to a vote, I just want to remind you of something. Expansion is a mighty fine thing. Sure, we gotta grow. But not at the expense of the things this country was founded to protect. The government’s promises set down in the Indian treaties is as sacred as your own word. Expansion ain’t no excuse for persecuting a whole part of our people because their skins is red and they’re uneducated to our ways. You wouldn’t be doing the settlers no good voting for this bill! You’d only be making rich men out of the land grabbers and speculators that have been trying to get it passed.

Now, just who are those scalawags? Well, one of ‘em could be the President himself, using this Congress for his own purpose. But I’ve known General Jackson for half of my born life, and I’m sure he’s got nothing but the good of the country at heart. No, it’s just a few thieving varmints hanging on by giving dinners and fancy parties, reaching for whatever they can get a hold of. But they’re a no account lot, about as natural as flies around a molasses barrel. The real scalawags in this here capital of the brave and free, is us, you and me. And I’m the worst of the lot. Reckon I’ve missed as many sessions as any of you, out shooting my mouth off when I should’ve been here attending to business. It’s nobody’s fault but our own if a bill like this gets passed. We got a responsibility to this strapping, fun-loving young bear cub of a country.

We’ve got a responsibility to help it grow into the kind of nation the good Lord meant it to be. If we stood up and showed we were the kind of men our friends and neighbors figured we was, when they sent us here, a bill like this would never live long enough to even get on our desks. Let along come to a vote!” (tears up Indian bill and walks out) Maybe Congressman Crockett would grin and bear it a little more today if he knew how much wampum is dropped in our area casinos every twenty-four hours.

Homeschooling Thanks to Langley’s Frannie Johnson, a retired go-go dancer for American Bandstand, for sharing the following observations about homeschooling, back in her day. Can you relate?

Most of our generation was homeschooled in many ways.

3

Our moms taught us about the science of Osmosis: “Shut your mouth and eat your supper.”

Our moms taught us contortionism: “Just you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!”

Our moms taught us about stamina: “You’ll sit there until all that spinach is gone.”

Our moms taught us about the weather: “This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it.”

Our moms taught us about hypocrisy: “If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times. Don’t exaggerate!”

Our moms taught us about medical science: “If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they are going to get stuck that way.”

Our moms taught us about ESP: “Put your sweater on; don’t you think I know when you are cold?”

Our dads taught us about humor: “When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”

Our moms taught us how to become an adult: “If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.”

Our moms taught us about genetics: “You’re just like your father.”

Our moms taught us about our roots: “Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?”

Our moms taught us about wisdom: “When you get to be my age, you’ll understand.

Finally, our moms taught us about justice: “One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!”

Did we miss any?

Walk across America Thanks to Mom Nancy Thielen for her update that her son Cameron Coupe and his traveling companion Zan Roman have arrived safely in Times Square after walking almost five months, from Whidbey Island to New York City.

Check out www.walkforseattlechildrens.com to see incredible pictures and humorous blog entries. Amazing stuff.

Had I wanted to walk across the USA as a kid, my dad would have been less supportive. Dad nixed my trip to see The Beatles in Cincinnati in 1962. He also nixed my trips to Woodstock, New Orleans, and Ft. Lauderdale.

When the Marine Corps decided they needed a few more skinny boys to make into slender men, Dad was okay with that.

At least Dad knew I would get a haircut that he might like.

2nd Annual Midway Monster Mash Street Bash and Zombie Crawl

Editor, We at Whidbey Environmental Action Network want to thank all who participated and contributed to a very successful, fun for all WEANFEST: Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversity. We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meeting and pot luck, donated to the silent auction, bought the items donated, as well as the Farm’s fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark and the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music: Whidbey’s own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band; Bellingham’s soulful, mischievous baritone Dana Lyons; Orcas Island’s banjo playing, folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling partner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver BC. I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards.

The dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor city council for the callous cutting down of an Oak Harbor icon, the Post Office Oak. The second award went to ex- Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office. Though the competition was stiff, in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners.

One reason WEANFEST was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution. When Ste Michele Winery decided to sell it in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting. 80 concerned persons crammed the Green Bank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan. The rest is history and typical of what we do. It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region.

With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable, verdant and healthy future.

Gary Piazzon President, Whidbey Environmental Action Network

Editor, I want to thank Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan for the courage of his convictions and for his willingness to act on them. His endorsement of Karla Jacks reflects well on him, Karla Jacks and Island County. It is time for all Islanders to move toward unity in an effort to build and sustain our community. Karla deserves his endorsement and our vote. She is a well respected community member with the proven ability to lead,

A raffle drawing for the Leonard Good designed chicken tractor is at 1:00pm. Tickets are $2 or three tickets for $5. Funds benefit the Calyx Community Arts School. The chicken tractor is a mobile home for a small flock of chickens. It is enclosed to protect the flock from predators, but it is mounted on wheels so the chicken manure can fertilize a garden area as it is moved. And the chickens are assured of varied, fresh greens as the unit is moved from area to area.

Dean Petrich, aka Deano the Clown, visits from 11:30am to 1:30pm to conduct children’s games with the giant parachute, teach juggling to older children and adults, and maybe folk dancing and other games. He has fifty pianos to giveaway before the rain damages them.

Expect to see vendors in costume. There will be complimentary popcorn and apple drinks.

Gather around the fire pit to keep warm and enjoy the last lazy outdoor market before Daylight Savings Time changes.

The market is located on the South Whidbey Tilth campus at 2812 Thompson Road, off Highway 525, between Bayview and Freeland.

The market is a member of the Washington State Farmers’ Markets Association. It accepts SNAP cards and FMNP coupons. For information about vending, contact the market manager at market@southwhidbeytilth.org or call (360) 395-8842.

Whidbey Priest to Discuss Her New Book on Religious Icons The Rev. Mary E. Green, a retired Episcopal priest and Clinton resident, will discuss and sign copies of her new book, “Eyes to See: The Redemptive Purpose of Icons� (Church Publishing Inc.: 1914), on Sunday, October 26, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, at St. Augustine’s-in-the-Woods Episcopal Church, 5217 Honeymoon Bay Road in Freeland. The public is invited and refreshments will be served.

Eyes to See is a deeply personal perspective on the often little-understood subject of religious icons. It was written especially for those whose religious traditions have not typically included icons. The book includes eight fullcolor icons created by the author herself, along with commentary, historical notes, explanation of symbolism and related scripture. Its accessible style makes the book particularly appropriate for study groups and others who seek a deeper appreciation of these ancient holy images.

Mary E. Green has had several careers: registered nurse, full-time wife and mother, and Episcopal priest serving in college, parish and hospital ministries in Texas. Since retiring to Whidbey Island several years ago with her husband Bob, she has focused on her long-time interest in creating icons and teaching about their power as tools for meditation and spiritual formation.

Avoid These Scary Investment Moves

Whether you have young children or not, you’re probably well aware that Halloween is almost here.

However, despite the plethora of skeletons and ghosts you might see floating around this week, you probably don’t have much to fear (except, possibly, running out of candy). But in real life, some things genuinely are frightening — such as “scary� investment moves.

Of course, investing, by its very nature, is not a risk-free endeavor. Ideally, though, these risks are also accompanied by the possibility of reward.

Nonetheless, some investment moves carry very little in the way of “upsideâ€? potential and should be avoided. Here are a few to consider: • Not investing — The scariest investment move you can make is to not invest at all — because if you don’t invest, you are highly unlikely to achieve a comfortable retirement or meet any other important financial goals. In a recent survey conducted by the National Council on Aging and other groups, 45% of the respondents who were 60 or older said they wished they had saved more money, and almost one-third said they wished they had made better investments. So make investing a priority — and choose some investments that have the potential to provide you with the growth you’ll need to meet your objectives. • Overreacting to “scaryâ€? headlines — The financial markets like stability, not uncertainty. So the next time you see some news about domestic political squabbles or unsettling geopolitical events, such as conflicts in foreign lands, don’t be surprised if you see a drop, perhaps a sizable one, in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other market indices.

But these declines are usually short-lived. Of course, the markets do not exist in isolation — they can and will be affected by what’s happening in the world. Yet, over the longer term, market movements are mostly governed by mundane, non-headline-grabbing factors, such as corporate earnings, interest rate movements, personal income levels, and so on. Here’s the point: Don’t overreact to those scary headlines, or even to short-term market drops. Instead, focus on the fundamentals driving your investments — and maintain a long-term perspective. • Chasing hot investments— You can receive tips on “hotâ€? investments from multiple sources: television, the Internet, your friends, your relatives — the list goes on and on. But by the time you get to these investments, they may already have cooled off — and, in any case, may not be appropriate for your needs. Stick with investments that offer good prospects and are suitable for your risk tolerance. • Failing to diversify — When it comes to investing, “too much of a good thingâ€? is a relevant term. If your portfolio is dominated by one type of asset class, such as aggressive growth stocks, and we experience a downturn that is particularly hard on those stocks, you could face sizable losses. But if you spread your investment dollars among growth stocks, international stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit (CDs), you can lessen the impact of a market drop. Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or prevent losses.

Halloween is over quickly. But scary investment moves can have a lasting effect — so stay away from them.

How come?”

“No, that’s bad.”

“That’s bad, you say? How come?

“Since the Moon rules Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer is also ruled by the Moon, and the Moon in the US chart is weakly placed in Gemini in the twelfth house.

A weakened Moon in turn weakens Jupiter.”

“We, the people, with lots of backing in a fight? What’s bad about that?”

“Mercury as the symbol of helpful people is in Jupiter’s house, which is not a place Mercury likes to be. Mercury finds Jupiter annoying, so a powerful Jupiter means America is powerfully annoying people who would like to be America’s friend.”

“A weakly placed Moon. That does sound bad.”

“No, that’s good.”

Chicken Little And the Astrologer

“That’s good? How come?”

By Wesley Hallock

“A weakened Jupiter will limit the power of the Sun, since Jupiter happens to be lord and ruler of the Sun in the US chart. Well, sir, it just so happens the Sun represents the president.”

Overheard in the Hee Haw barber shop– Archie Campbell explains what makes America great:

“Oh, I see. There’s nothing wrong with limiting the power of the president.

That’s good.”

“I guess you heard the news.”

“No, that’s bad.”

“No, Archie, what’s that?”

“That’s bad, Arch? How come?”

“You haven’t heard the news about the Sun, Moon and rising sign of the USA?”

“The same weak Moon that weakened Jupiter who in turned weakened the Sun, which weakened the president— that weak Moon happens also to symbolize ‘We, the people….’”

“No, Arch, is it bad?”

“Why, in the astrology chart of the United States, Cancer is rising.”

“No, in the US chart that’s good.”

“I get it. The citizens of the country are its foundation, and if that foundation is weakened by a weak Moon, that’s bad.”

“Cancer is good? How come, Arch?”

“No, that’s good.”

“Cancer in astrology is not a disease; it’s the sign of the Crab and ruled by the Moon. Cancer in the US chart also holds Jupiter, which is Jupiter’s exalted position.”

“That’s good? How come?”

“Cancer! Oh, that’s bad. My uncle had cancer. That’s real bad.”

“No, that’s bad.”

“A deeper look at the Moon in the US chart through the ninth divisional chart shows the people to be strong fighters and practical problem solvers. They are also in position to get lots of backing in their fights.”

“Jupiter exalted in the US chart is bad?

“I like the sound of that. That’s good.”

“Exalted Jupiter. That must be good.”

“The backing comes from Saturn and Mars as the government and the police and military, but in the ninth divisional chart of the US they are both asleep.

That leaves only the Sun helping the Moon.”

“Helpers who are asleep aren’t much help. That’s bad.”

“That’s bad.”

“No, that’s good.”

“No, that’s good.”

“That’s good? How come?”

“That’s good? How can that be good?”

“Mercury shines in the fourth divisional chart, where it is wide awake in its own house. That says there are prosperous times in store for America, once she gets her house in order.

“Jupiter comes to the rescue by being a backer of Mars and Saturn. The same Jupiter that is weakened by being in the house of a weak Moon in the birth chart is in his own house in the ninth divisional chart. That makes him strong.”

“Well, I’m glad to hear that. That’s good.”

“No, that’s bad.”

“That’s good, Archie.”

“Yer dad burn right that’s good. It’s just a little off the top of what makes America great. It’s all right there in her astrology, you see.”

“That’s bad? How come?”

“Jupiter in his own house is strong, but in this case he’s also in a late degree, which means he’s so near the end of his life, you might as well say he’s dead.”

“A dead Jupiter…. That’s bad.”

“No, that’s good.”

“A dead Jupiter can be good? How come?”

“The same degree that makes Jupiter nearly dead in the ninth divisional chart has him much younger fortieth division, which happens to be the chart of good and ill effects. Being young gives Jupiter a lot of power.”

“That’s good.”

“No, that’s bad.”

Wesley Hallock is a professional astrologer, navigating the sea of consciousness since 1982, and an avid connecter of dots. Chicken Little in the 1943 Disney version of the folk tale was the gullible dupe in Foxy Loxy’s scheme to raid the hen house. Connecting dots and dupes and reporting on the result is Wesley’s special delight. He calls this “the dot nitty gritty.” Send your nitty gritty questions and comments to Wesley at planetbiz4u2@gmail.com.
