NOVEMBER 7 Oak Harbor VS. Kennedy Catholic at Oak Harbor HS, 7:00pm Coupeville vs.

Bellevue Christian at Coupeville HS, 7:00pm

COUPEVILLE VS. Concrete The Bayne Train was running. Otherwise, Coupeville got derailed.

Unable to stop a red-hot Concrete gridiron squad that rolled to its eighth straight victory in the fog Friday, Oct. 31, the Wolves fell victim to Halloween horror and were shredded 52-22.

The non-conference road loss to one of its old rivals dropped CHS to 4-5.

The Wolves will have a chance to get a fifth win — the most in any season under third-year coach Tony Maggio — when they host a crossover game next week against a team from the Nisqually League.

It’s expected to be Bellevue Christian (1-7 entering a Saturday game against undefeated Cascade Christian), but date and kickoff time haven’t been confirmed by school officials yet.

Facing off with Concrete, one of its toughest rivals from the old days in the Northwest League, Coupeville got a mix of air attack (Joel Walstad threw for 172 yards) and ground pound (Bayne rolled to 136 yards and two TD’s, giving him 18 on the season).

But the Wolves also were unable to stop the Lions, who scored at will.

Two touchdowns in the first and two more in the second allowed Concrete to take a 28-14 lead in at the half, before four scores in the third blew the game wide open.

Wiley Hesselgrave snagged a touchdown reception — his seventh score of the season — to go with Bayne’s pair on the ground, while CJ Smith and Bayne caught two-point conversion passes from Walstad.

Princeton Lollar breaks away from two would-be Hawk defenders and ran on for anther 15 yards at part of his 45-yard run late in the first quarter of Friday’s game.

The senior flinger had some success through the air, converting 12 of 26 passes. Hesselgrave (six receptions for 77 yards), Smith (4-52) and Ryan Griggs (3-43) were his primary targets.

OAK HARBOR Vs. Mountlake Terrace

Griggs had the catch of the night, hauling in a bomb along the sidelines that rivaled anything you’ll see this Sunday in the NFL.

After a week of white-hot media attention, Oak Harbor got back to doing what it does best – winning.

The Wildcat gridiron squad, which drew national attention for its role in the ongoing story of the school shooting and community bonding in Marysville-Pilchuck, drilled visiting Mountlake Terrace 49-9 Friday, Oct. 31.

The game, which earned the ‘Cats the third seed out of the 3A Western Conference and a home playoff game against Kennedy Catholic, was the first for Oak Harbor in two weeks.

While OHHS hasn’t played as many games as expected this season – having a non-conference game fall through and forfeiting to Marysville so the Tomahawks would have time to deal with the aftermath of the shooting – it has handily won when it has hit the field.

The demolition of Terrace lifted the Wildcats to 6-1 on the season.

The Halloween night game looked like it might be an even battle, as the visitors drained much of the first quarter clock before opening the scoring on a three-yard run with 4:54 on the clock.

Oak Harbor blocked the extra point kick and responded with a quick score of its own (Princeton Lollar rumbled for a 55-yard score in which he dragged two tacklers into the end zone with him), only to have Terrace reclaim the lead on a beautiful 46-yard field goal from Ivan Melchor.

Walstad laid the ball up high in the stratosphere and his receiver climbed the ladder and outreached a Lion defender, before dragging his toes just inside the line for a moment before falling out of bounds. “It was a thing of beauty,� said CHS fan Shawn Walstad. “The defender tried to argue the call to the ref, but you can’t overturn perfection.�

Bayne busted out his yardage on just 12 carries, with Jacob Martin (seven carries for 30 yards), Hesselgrave (3-23) and Lathom Kelley (2-3) chipping in to pepper the Lion defense.

Continuing to be a two-way terror, Bayne recorded a team-high 10 tackles from his position in the defensive backfield, while Oscar Liquidano, Matt Shank and Hesselgrave had three stops apiece.

Aaron Wright (two tackles and two assists), Mitchell Carroll (1), Martin (1), Hunter Smith (1), Kelley (1), Brenden Gilbert (1) and Gabe Wynn (1) were also credited with putting at least a temporary hold on Concrete’s potent attack.

Hesselgrave recovered a fumble, as well, while also taking back four kickoff returns for 87 yards.

After that, however, it was all Wildcats.

Coupeville averaged a crisp 20 yards per return (eight returns for 160 yards) with Bayne ripping off a 28-yard return and Wright, a lineman with slicker-than-expected moves, crashing through the defense for 26 yards on his lone return.

Terrace managed only three first downs after their scores, and amassed just 26 second-half yards while being abused by a fired-up ‘Cat defense.

SOUTH WHIDBEY Vs. Sultan

On offense, Lollar went off, ripping off three more touchdown runs (seven, two and one yards) on his way to collecting 163 yards on 17 carries.

Everything clicked in the fourth quarter.

Dejon Devroe was hot on his heels, compiling another 103 yards on the ground, with scoring runs of 10 and seven yards.

He would have had a 30-yard TD, but had that one called back when a teammate was flagged for a penalty.

When Oak Harbor did go to the air, it was brutally efficient.

Clay Doughty hit on nine of 11 passes for 213 yards, with Dyllan Harris snatching all but one of the completions. He brought down receptions that resulted in 42 and 51-yard gains and tacked on a touchdown for good measure.

Mark Johnston was dead-on with PATs after all seven ‘Cat touchdowns, while Koby Cosper and Mike Lanningham netted sacks for the Oak Harbor defense.

Playing the day before Halloween, the South Whidbey High School football squad found treats waiting for them in the final 12 minutes of the regular season.

After struggling for much of the game, and the season, the Falcons suddenly rolled to three touchdowns in the final quarter Thursday, Oct. 30, snatching away a 27-13 win from visiting Sultan.

The victory catapulted South Whidbey (2-7 overall, 2-5 in the Cascade Conference) out of the league basement, allowing the Falcons to finish in a fifth-place tie with Cedar Park Christian in the eight-team league.

Granite Falls and Sultan brought up the rear of the league this season at 1-6, while King’s rolled to another title with a crisp 7-0 mark.

Continuing a season-long trend, South Whidbey coaches did little to provide the media with any stats.

On Track with Jim Freeman

Having recently received a text on my cell phone that read, “Holy Molybdenum�, I thought it best to check the dictionary before replying.

No wonder we no longer have spelling bees. Apparently, some of these fancy phones, or “smart phones� as they are termed, anticipate the words that people are trying to write or text to another.

My pal Jen was attempting to respond to me regarding a gift certificate that she had received from Southern Cross, Too, via my wallet.

Her attempt in texting “Holy Moly� was transfigured to “Holy Molybdenum�, a reference to the polyvalent metallic element that resembles chromium and tungsten and is used in strengthening and hardening steel.

Fortunately, by the time I got to PayLess Grocers in Freeland, the deli was closed. They were probably already out of molybdenum, seldom found in the cheese section, anyway.

Holy Molybdenum, Batman, you just misspelled another word in the Gotham Spelling Bee. Mutt Strutin’ Congratulations to the winners of the Best Trick, Best Dog Costume, Best Owner/Dog Costume, Best Celebrity Dog, Best Child Costume, and Best Dog Imitation at the 9th Annual Mutt Strut Parade and Costume Contest, held annually the last Saturday of October.

Thanks to Goosefoot, Bayview Farm and Garden, and the Bayview Farmers Market for supporting such a zany, fun event. Celebrity judges this year included Damien Cortez, actor, and innovator responsible for bringing good beer and a nightlife to the Bayview Cash Store with the Taproom @ Bayview Corner; Chris Hurley, former executive director of Goosefoot, rogue consultant, and world traveler; Kayla Johnson, a Grade A student, amazing dancer, imaginative writer, and glorious actor; Laura Price, a most excellent Sargent with the Island County Sheriff’s office, a WOW (Woman of Whidbey honoree), and a former pig farmer; and, Leigh Bloom, Goosefoot board member, who is no relation to Ken Bloom, local entrepreneur, and stand-up, wine tasting comedian.

journey alone. We will honor them, we never disrespect them nor forget their loving guidance!

As time goes by, other people will board the train, and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed we won’t realize they vacated their seats.

This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.

Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring us to give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life. Honor those who have given you the ride, before their seat is empty.

I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

Lexophiles, Unite! “Lexophile� is a word used to describe those who have a love for words. Creative lexophilians write phrases for fun, like “you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish�, or “to write with a broken pencil is pointless.�

A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year in an undisclosed location. This year’s winning submission is at the very end of the other entries shared with us by a Whidbey Weekly reader.

When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

A will is a dead giveaway.

He very quickly concluded the cause: When crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.

A bird pathologist reportedly examined the remains of all of the crows. Much to the relief of many, these deaths were not attributable to the Avian Flu, but because of deaths caused by vehicular impacts.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made Gandhi a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Whidbey Children’s Theater is proud to present The Wind in the Willows, its first production of the season.

Join Mole, Ratty, Badger, Mr Toad, and a host of woodland characters as they forge friendships, brave snowstorms, go on a wild car ride, and save Toad Hall from scheming weasels & ferrets.

Letters to the Editor Editor, I am probably one of a few Island Transit users speaking up and very much concerned both as a taxpayer and an Island Transit user with Island Transit’s future. As such, I stand with Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley in his efforts to at the least get Island Transit an advertising contract and get new Island Transit Board Members who will take their responsibilities seriously.

Quoting the State Auditor’s Office (hereafter SAO) audit, “The Board and management did not effectively monitor the financial activity of the Transit to ensure revenues were adequate to cover increased operational and capital expenditures.” Yet the Board chairman Bob Clay launched an ignoble attack on SAO Team Bellingham former director’s Sadie Armijo’s integrity during the October 24 SAO Exit Conference. At least Mrs. Armijo was able to explain back in 2012, Island Transit had over $2 million in reserves and should have been able to fiscally stabilize had proper procedure been followed. The fact we had to wait until October 2014 for a SAO audit of Island Transit’s 2013 books is of some concern, but just the nature of things.

Then there’s the Martha Rose severance package. As I cannot trust the judgment of any Island Transit board member who agreed to reward an employee who according to the SAO could not report their own leave accurately and yet give severance with banked leave to an Executive Director who failed to adequately safeguard Island Transit from fiscal harm; this has made me publicly support Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley’s efforts for a new Island Transit Board.

At the very least Bob Clay must go. Clay certainly knew before the 24 October SAO Exit Conference from the SAO about the former Executive Director’s inability to report leave correctly yet agreed to pay over $80,000 to a former Executive Director who according to the SAO shares the blame for many of Island Transit’s problems. A severance agreement also arguably fiscally irresponsible while Island Transit struggles to remain solvent.

The ultimate issue is if the Island Transit Board can be trusted to make Island Transit fiscally sustainable. I hold the view it is impossible for most of Island Transit’s current Board to continue due to multiple negative surprises destroying trust; the revelations in the SAO Audit; profligate spending policies such as the tractor, gazebo and golf carts of Island Transit’s headquarters just gathering dust; and the Island Transit 2014-2019 Transit Development Plan being so deficient it is unclear to me when or if Saturday service will ever restart.

Furthermore as a transit-using taxpayer whose federal, state and local taxes Island Transit draws upon, I also submit Mayor Dudley’s growling for taxpayers and transit users alike is ideal to the point of inspiring our fellow Republicans to embrace transit.

Woodpeckers of the Northwest The woodpecker is the quintessential bird of the forest. Because the five woodpeckers species on Whidbey Island don’t migrate much, they can be seen in the forests year around. The woodpecker’s role is vital for a healthy and diverse forest environment.

Whidbey Audubon Society hosts wildlife photographer Paul Bannick on Thursday, November 13 to explore the value that a diverse forest provides woodpeckers and

how animals benefit from their work. Through compelling images, sounds and stories, Bannick describes each species and its effect on the trees and habitats they favor, as well as, specific birds that benefit from their work.

The public is welcome to Whidbey Audubon’s monthly general meeting and program, free of charge. This month the meeting is at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation on Highway 525 north of Freeland. Socializing begins at 7:00pm followed by the meeting at 7:15pm.

The program starts at 7:30pm.

Paul Bannick is an international award-winning wildlife photographer whose work has been published by everything from National Geographic and Smithsonian to the New York Times and Audubon Magazine. His first book, The Owl and the Woodpecker remains one of the best-selling bird books in North America. He will bring a copy of his second book, Woodpeckers of North America November 13.

Documentary Film Captures Vietnam Veterans Reconciling with Former Enemies, Wins 2014 American Movie Awards On Saturday, November 8 at 1:00pm, the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center (WVRC) invites to the public to join them at the Clyde Theater in Langley for a free screening of the nationally-acclaimed documentary film Soldiers’ Sanctuary.

A first-of-its-kind documentary, Soldiers’ Sanctuary focuses on veterans of all wars and their struggle, and varying degrees of desire, to reconcile with former enemies. It provides a touching tale of how both sides of war benefit from making interpersonal connections by reaching across former enemy lines to find healing, understanding, and common ground.

A film about combat veterans healing the wounds of war, Soldiers’ Sanctuary follows a diverse group of U.S. war veterans as they travel to the infamous battlefield at Khe Sanh, Vietnam in hopes of finding reconciliation with former enemies of war. Uniquely, the group includes young veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as Vietnam veterans.

Among veterans featured in the film is Dave Hansen of southern Utah who was stationed at Khe Sanh.

Side-by-side in planting avocado trees as a symbol of giving new life to peaceful relationships, this historic event is the foundation of the Khe Sanh Peace Garden, a world sanctuary dedicated to honoring the memory of fallen soldiers from all sides of armed conflict and providing opportunity for peaceful face-to-face reconciliation of former enemies. PeaceTrees Vietnam, founded and based in Seattle, is part of this reconciliation effort.

“My hope is that this film will help many who are interested in moving though personal struggle by way of reconciliation within themselves and forgiveness towards their enemies,” Executive Producer Luke Hansen said.

Donations to help support Whidbey Veterans Resource Center (WVRC) will be appreciated.

A trailer of the film can be viewed at www. soldierssanctuary.com. For more information, call (360) 331-8081.

Dr. Brenden Hansen, medical director of the Whidbey General Hospital Emergency Department, was honored as Medical Director of the Year at the TEAMHealth Emergency Medicine Leadership Conference held in Seattle October 1.

The award recognizes exceptional leadership, management and clinical performance among medical directors of emergency departments of TEAMHealth hospitals in the Northwest.

Hansen, who is also the hospital’s chief-ofstaff elect, was one of more than 100 medical directors under consideration for the award.

“Dr. Hansen has met and successfully managed a number of challenging circumstances this past year,” said award presenter Dr. Clark Morres, TEAMHealth Northwest Chief Medical Officer. These included surging volumes of patients following the closure of urgent care at Naval Hospital Oak Harbor; changes related to the Affordable Care Act; and implementation of a new electronic medical record system.

Whidbey General’s 13-bed Emergency Department has approximately 21,000 visits per year.

“Dr. Hansen leads by example,” said Tana Snyder, RN, vice president of Client Services at TEAMHealth. “We believe this year’s Medical Director of the Year award could not have gone to a more deserving physician leader.”

Prepare Far Ahead for Long-Term Care Costs

November is Long-Term Care Awareness Month – a month dedicated to educating the public about the need to prepare for the potentially devastating costs of long-term care. And the more you know about these expenses, the better prepared you will be to deal with them.

To begin with, just how expensive is long-term care? Consider this: The average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per year, according to the 2014 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial-services company.

And the average cost of an assisted living facility, which provides a level of care that is not as extensive as that offered by a nursing home, is $42,000 per year, according to the same Genworth study. All long-term care costs have risen steadily over the past several years, with no indication that they will level off.

Many people, when they think about long-term care at all, believe that Medicare will pay these costs — but that’s just not the case. Typically, Medicare only covers a small percentage of long-term care expenses, which means you will have to take responsibility. Of course, if you are fortunate, you may go through life without ever needing to enter a nursing home or an assisted living facility, or even needing help from a home health-care aide. But given the costs involved, can you afford to jeopardize your financial independence — or, even worse, impose a potential burden on your grown children?

To prevent these events, you will need to create a strategy to pay for long-term care expenses — even if you never incur them. Basically, you have two options: You could self-insure or you could “transfer the risk� to an insurer.

If you were going to self-insure, you would need to set aside a considerable sum of money, as indicated by the costs mentioned above. And you would likely need to invest a reasonably high percentage of this money in growth-oriented investments. If you chose this self-insurance route, but you never really needed a significant amount of long-term care, you could simply use the bulk of the money for your normal living expenses during retirement and earmark the remainder for your estate. However, if did need many years of nursing home care, you could end up going through all your money.

As an alternative, you could transfer the risk of paying for long-term care to an insurance company. Many plans are available these days, so, to find the choice that is appropriate for your needs, you will want to consult with a professional financial advisor. Here’s a word of caution, though: The premiums for this type of protection rise pretty rapidly as you get older, so, if you are considering adding this coverage, you may be better off by acting sooner, rather than later.

None of us can know with certainty what the future holds for us. Ideally, you will always remain in good shape, both mentally and physically, with the ability to take care of yourself.

But, as you’ve heard, it’s best to “hope for the best, but plan for the worst.� So, take the lessons of Long-Term Care Awareness Month to heart and start preparing yourself for every scenario.

Better Hearing Means Better Overall Wellness COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY. Your hearing enables you to understand and communicate complex ideas, passing thoughts, and jokes every day.

BE (AND STAY) HAPPY! Those who participate in a hearing screening and improve hearing health increase their quality of life.

HEAR EVERYTHING.

We have our teeth and eyes checked regularly, but what about our ears?

Some forms of hearing loss are subtle or only occur in certain situations; make sure you can hear all the sounds of your life.

Everyone over the age of 55 should have their hearing checked as part of an overall wellness program.

Think about all you gain when you have your hearing checked.

REMAIN STEADY ON YOUR FEET. Beyond hearing, our ears are a key contributor to our balance — when they are affected negatively incidents of falling can increase.

BETTER COGNITIVE AWARENESS. Your ears can identify frequency, pitch, location, and many other details instantly — the better they work, the sharper your mind is likely to be.

JOAN R. WYATT, R.N. Joan R. Wyatt, R.N. died peacefully at her home in Coupeville October 24, 2014 at the age of 92. She was born in Plummer, Idaho to Fred and Gladys (Muzzall) Robertson. Joan grew up in Plummer, graduating from Plummer High School and then went on to Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing in Spokane. She played basketball as a young student.

Joan graduated with a Registered Nurse degree. She accepted her first nursing position in Colorado Springs, CO and then went on to Indianapolis, IN. She decided to return to the Northwest and settled in Seattle, where she worked at Harborview Medical Center, Virginia Mason and Firland T.B. Sanatorium in North Seattle. She reconnected with a friend from Plummer and soon she and John Wyatt were married.

Joan and John had a plan to become a commercial fishing team. They lived on a houseboat on Lake Union and fished the area of LaPush to Port Angeles in their trawler. In 1956, they decided they wanted to begin their family and Seattle was not the place to have their children grow up. They visited several locations before deciding on Whidbey Island.

They really liked the idea of having their family grow up in such a beautiful area. Joan and John purchased property near the Captain Whidbey Inn and 57 years later, it is still home. For a time, she served as camp nurse at Camp Casey during the summer camping events.

Joan was hired by Whidbey General Hospital as the Surgical Nursing Director for the hospital shortly after it opened in 1970 and spent the next seventeen years in that position.

She became a pioneer in advanced health care on Whidbey Island. John died suddenly in 1975 and Joan was left to raise five children as a single parent.

Joan retired from nursing in 1986. She had a passion and over the years, developed a huge garden complex at home.

She also grew fuchsias and became an expert on them.

She received certification as a Master Gardner and was a member of the North Cascade Fuchsia Society. She was a pioneer in organic gardening, experimented with plant grafting, was a beekeeper, an excellent cook and believed you should eat what you grow. She was always canning goods from her garden.

Joan loved following baseball, and especially her beloved Mariners. She would gather her own scoring sheets and record every moment of each game she listened to or watched. Joan’s passion was the out-of-doors. She loved being out in the fresh air. She also developed a love of hunting that had been instilled in her by her father as a young child.

Joan requested no formal funeral services be conducted.

Cremation was held with private family inurnment to follow at a later date. Please visit Joan’s page in the Book of Memories hosted at www.wallinfuneralhome.com to share memories and condolences.

HILDA BURTON Hildegard Burton died October 25, 2014 peacefully at Careage of Whidbey at the age of 81.

She was born August 29, 1933 in the Bronx, New York to William and Dora, the second of two children. At the age of 3 Hilda went to Germany to visit relatives and while there, the war broke out. She experienced her childhood in the midst of war time and bombing and did not return to the United States until the age of 13.

She had been educated in Germany. She did not speak English when she returned. She lived in an orphanage until her sister and husband returned to the United States and took her in.

Hilda married and had 2 girls, Carole and Elaine. On June 27, 1971 she married Dusty Burton and inherited his family and they remained married for 43 years.

Hilda loved being around people, taking walks and just being outside enjoying family, friends, animals and nature.

Her passion for the music of Glenn Miller kept her jitterbugging.

Although she was a loving person she could surely cuss you out in two different languages, accompanied by hugs and kisses!

A private family service will be held at a later date.

Our eternal thanks to the staff and workers from Careage of Whidbey.

Family suggests donations can be made to Careage of Whidbey Memorial Fund, 311 Northeast 3rd Street, Coupeville, WA 98239

Chicken Little & the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

This week we go on site with the crew of “This Old Horoscope.” We’ll meet master astrologer Nick O’Time. We’ll listen in as Nick and dedicated do-it-yourselfer Sally Forth take us on a tour of Sally’s second house. Sally is a public health nurse who will tell us why she has spent much of her life trying unsuccessfully to remodel her second house.

“Hi, Nick! I am more than ready. My second house is something I’ve fumbled with for a long time and have never mastered.”

“Right, and it sooo underperforms. There’s never enough money.”

“Almost always when a second house underperforms, the house is not the problem, and yours is no exception. Your real problem, and the reason there is never enough money, is in how you think about the house.”

“But Nick, I’ve done prosperity affirmations trying to change my thinking. I have filled entire notebooks with lines such as, ‘I am a money magnet’ and ‘I create prosperity easily and effortlessly.’ I’ve done visualizations until I can crank out images of $100 bills in my sleep. I have sticky notes reminding me to think rich pasted on my refrigerator, my bathroom mirror and the dashboard of my car. And every month, it’s the same story: The money goes out faster than it comes in.”

“You just proved my point. Your thinking is way, way, way too limited. You are trying to create a designer reality using pre-manufactured ideas anyone can find online or in magazines. Can you see how this might present a problem?”

“Put that way, I guess I can. That’s why I’m looking to you for ideas.”

“We could go with a more contemporary feel.

Open up your second house to be more light and airy, more spacious and flowing.”

“More room for money.”

“You can have that, but you are going about it all wrong. Your approach is perfectly described in an old Henny Youngman joke: ‘A doctor gave a woman six months to live. She couldn’t pay her bill, so he gave her another six months.’”

“That’s very funny, but–I don’t understand.”

“You are living someone else’s reality, Sally.

That is why your second house under performs.

Somewhere back in time, you picked a life from among the options you were given and began pretending it was yours. But it’s not yours. Part of that Some One Else’s Reality you bought is the idea that more money will fix everything. Well, guess what—that is the most unoriginal idea ever. I’ll say it again: No attempt to remodel your second house to its full potential will succeed using readymade ideas from a box. Sorry. Won’t work.”

“Ouch.”

“Now, you won’t like it, but I can tell you what will work.”

“Hi Nick. Lots to report. I picked an exercise from the list you gave me and worked with it every day, just like you said. At first I felt stupid, like I was really wasting my time, but after a while I got it into it and it began to be fun.”

“Which exercise?”

“I chose to write a fictitious story about one day in the life of my mother. Wow. In the story my mother was a famous actress. She and I lived the life of the rich and famous on this beautiful ranch in California with vineyards and a pool and an equestrian course. I was twelve and Mother spent the whole day just with me. We started with a breakfast of fresh-squeezed orange juice and cinnamon raisin toast outside by the pool, followed by riding lessons on a gorgeous pair of Andalusian horses.”

“And how does your actual childhood compare?”

“I never knew my mother. She died while I was an infant.”

“So this is much more than just a story. It fills an empty space in your life.”

“And the best part is, after I wrote that, I felt reinvigorated—I almost said reinvented-- like I’d just come home from a long vacation.”

“It’s still early in your remodel, Sally. ‘Reinvented’ may turn out to be the better word.”

Previously on “This Old Horoscope”: Remember Sally Forth? A year ago, Sally bravely plunged into her underperforming second house and discovered the door to an unexpected world. She’s back now with an update.

“Hi Sally! Wow, look at you. What a difference a year can make.”

Hi Nick. I’ve lost forty pounds since we last met.

I’ve also quit my nursing job, sold my house—my wood and shingles house!—and I’m relocating to, guess where, a horse ranch in Argentina!”

“Good-by, underperforming second house! Tell us how you did it.”

“It happened like magic. I realized from the fictional stories I continued to write that I was on a wrong path. It wasn’t my path. All the important pieces were missing; all the things that were uniquely me. When I realized that, I quit trying to fix my life by rearranging the furniture and set out to find those missing pieces.”

“And you found them in Argentina?”

“A friend of my brother invited my brother and me to an open house in a gated community in Cafayate, in the heart of Argentina’s wine country. I fell in love with it immediately. It’s also horse country. I saw a pair of Andalusians ridden in a polo match that were so like the images that came when I was writing about the mother I never had, it’s eerie.”

“Great! You found the door in your second house that everyone has and very few know is there.”

“All the good things behind it that have only been waiting for me to find them have begun to come through. You don’t know how good that feels to this aging Baby Boomer.”

Next week: Sally reveals how this very special door opened ‘just in the nick of time.’”
