OAK HARBOR VS. PENNINSULA The best quick-strike offense in all the land ran smack dab into its mirror image. Falling behind and into a huge hole for almost the first time this season, the Oak Harbor High School football squad never quite got going Friday, Nov. 14, falling 42-14 at Peninsula in a state playoff game. With the win, the Seahawks (10-1) advance to play the state’s #1 ranked 3A team, Bellevue, in the state quarterfinals. Oak Harbor finishes its season at 7-2. The Wildcats dominated for much of the year by scoring early and often. This time around, they discovered what that must have felt like for their opponents, as Peninsula stormed out to a 28-0 lead and never looked back. Major Ali stormed into the end zone three times during the opening burst, the first on a three-yard run to pay dirt. After Kyle Olson-Urban took a fake punt 77 yards for another score, Ali tacked on TD runs of 20 and one yards.

Oak Harbor finally broke through when sophomore running back Princeton Lollar popped in from the one-yard line in the third quarter. It was his 15th and final touchdown of the season. Peninsula immediately answered with a 76-yard scoring strike from quarterback Robert Kvinsland to Matt Shirley, then rubbed salt in the wound with a 26-yard TD run from Jared Boerner. The ‘Cats closed the season with a 13-yard scoring pass from Clay Doughty to Dyllan Harris. The game marked a return to the big dance for Oak Harbor. A former state champ at the 4A level, the Wildcats hadn’t advanced to state in seven seasons.
COUPEVILLE HONORS It took almost a decade in the last league, but just one semester in the new one. Coming on the heels of Ben Etzell being named the baseball MVP of the 1A/2A Cascade Conference in the spring — the only time a Coupeville High School player took home that league’s top honor in any sport — Josh Bayne reached the top of the mountain in his new home. Bayne, who led all 1A players in the state in rushing yards (1,528), touchdowns (25) and interceptions (6), was selected as the first football MVP in the new 1A Olympic League. While Port Townsend (5-1 in conference) claimed the league title, there was little doubt that Coupeville’s twoway terror would claim top individual honors. Any other choice might have incited a riot. In addition to the numbers above, Bayne also caught 31 passes for 460 yards, made 11 kickoff/punt returns for 224 yards and compiled 2,281 all-purpose yards. The one time he took a pitch and dropped back to pass, he completed a 43-yard bomb.
Photo by John Fisken RB Josh Bayne, seen here in the game against Klahowya, earned league MVP honors this year.
On defense he racked up 91 tackles (77 solo, 14 assists), which put him #3 in 1A, while recovering four fumbles and garnering two sacks to go with his picks. Bayne wasn’t the only Wolf to be honored when coaches met, with four other CHS gridiron giants being tabbed for First-Team honors. Senior Aaron Wright was honored for his work on the offensive line, while seniors Matt Shank and Oscar Liquidano were picked as defensive lineman. Junior Wiley Hesselgrave earned his spot as a linebacker. Senior quarterback Joel Walstad and freshman defensive back Hunter Smith earned Honorable Mention status. Smith was the only 9th grader in the league to be honored.

On Track with Jim Freeman
After several years of ringing in my ears, I have finally figured out what it is I am actually hearing.
The ringing, when sped up, or slowed down, has the distinct similarity of sounding like the opening theme to the 1950s’ TV blockbuster hit, The Adventures of Spin & Marty.
All together now: “Way up there on the Triple R, Yippee Yay, Yippee Yi, Yippee Yo�.
I knew you would want to know.
Hear ye, Hear me Tomorrow, I will be meeting with Whidbey Weekly advertiser and community interactor Dr. Peter Keating at the Island Family Hearing Clinic.
With his expert guidance, I will be able to make some decisions regarding my health care.
With Dr. Keating’s assistance, I will be able to decide if I want to hear all the notes on the piano, or just the ones I like the best.
As the old expression says, The eyes have it!, but what if your ears don’t?
I remember when Uncle Johnny would start a joke during the cocktail hour, right before supper. Our grandma Tama, seated on some low-to-the-ground lady’s chair that looked like it was delivered by Ethan Allen himself, would look over at me, saying as she was turning down her hearing aid, “James, I’ve heard this one before.�
Apparently, my present hearing skills do not require my having to turn anything down. I am already in the parking garage. Like Dr. Keating said, “Jim, imagine a piano with 88 keys. You can hear 66 of them.�
My first question was a sensitive one.
“Will I still like Willie Nelson after I get my new devices?�
The other day, while having lunch with my lady, we were seated across from one another, enjoying our 50s’ style burgers and shakes at Main Street Dairy Freeze in Sumner.
Behind us were seated four guys in baseball hats. It felt just like home.
While focusing my attention on my pal Jen’s sweet, soft enunciations of her utmost clarity, I noticed it was easier for me to hear the four guys, bellowing behind me while French frying.
I used to eavesdrop in the halls of the LA courts, but never could I hear such sounds as well as I could hear the fishing stories in the booth behind us, without even trying.
My friend Jack Eskenazi got his hearing aid devices from the VA. One day at coffee, Jack came in just wearing one hearing aid.
I could tell, because Jack was leaning to the left.
Of course, there are those who say Jack always leans to the left.
“Jack, what happened to your hearing aid? Did you forget it, or give it to Andy to hear what she was thinking?�
“No, Jim, the cat ate it. My hearing aid fell into the bowl when I gave the cat his food. Funny thing is, my hearing aid looks just like his cat food.�
“How long were you able to hear the cat digest your hearing aid?�
“I don’t know. All I got was feedback.�
You have to love the humor of our WWII vets. Couple humor with courage and determination, and we have the basic ingredients of their DNA.
Showtime @ WICA As a performer, there is no greater thrill than sharing the stage in front of a live audience. Rehearsals, both technical and dress, can never reflect the energy created by a full circle of faces staring up or down.
This Sunday, November 23, the curtain will go up and sideways at the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, promptly at 5:30PM, to showcase the South Whidbey Schools Foundation Talent Extravaganza. This once-in-a-lifetime production by South Whidbey Hometown Heroes Jean Shaw and Tom Walker will feature a variety of local musicians, singers, dancers, and comedy skits.

the creative kind. Worm of the Day The nematode “Caenorhabditis elegans� ages the equivalent of five human years for everyday they live, usually expiring after 14 days. However, when stressed, the worm goes into a state of suspended animation that can last for two months or more. The human equivalent would be to sleep for about 200 years. Sounds like me when I was a teenager. I even slept through the big LA earthquake in 1971. Tough night in the slopshoot.

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He’s 20, much like your IQ. ATTORNEY: She had three children, right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death.

ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM. ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law. To read past columns of On Track in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www.whidbeyweekly.com.

Share Your “Bounty” With Your Loved Ones
It’s almost Thanksgiving, a holiday that once celebrated the harvest season. Although many of us today may not be directly connected to agriculture, we still gather on Thanksgiving with our loved ones to share whatever “bounty” we may have. But this practice doesn’t have to begin and end with food. Why not incorporate the spirit of sharing into your overall financial strategy? Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: • Make financial gifts. You could give shares of stock to your loved ones, or perhaps give them money to help fund their IRAs. (They must have earned income, however, to be eligible to contribute to an IRA.) You can give up to $14,000 per year, per recipient. If you are married, you and your spouse can each give up to the $14,000 yearly limit. • Invest in your children’s future. To help your children meet the high costs of higher education, you might want to invest in a college savings vehicle. One option to consider is a 529 plan. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings are subject to tax-free growth potential and distributions are free of federal taxes, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that Section 529 plan distributions not used for these qualified expenses may be subject to income tax and a 10% penalty.) Furthermore, if you invest in your home state’s 529 plan, you may receive state tax incentives. Tax issues for 529 plans can be complex, though, so you’ll need to consult with your tax advisor about your situation. Another benefit of 529 plans: You control the assets right up to the point at which they are actually used. So, if you have been putting away money for a particular child (or grandchild) and he or she decides against college, you can easily switch to another beneficiary. • Review your insurance policies. If something were to happen to you, is your life insurance sufficient to take care of your family? In other words, would there be enough money available to pay off your mortgage, send your children to college and help your surviving spouse meet at least some of his or her retirement expenses? A financial professional can help you determine if your life insurance is sufficient for your needs. • Consider involving your family with your estate plans. To help ensure your wishes get carried out the way you intended, con- sider keeping family members informed of your estate strategy, which could in- volve your will, living trust, power of attorney and other legal documents. And don’t forget to keep your beneficiary designations up to date on your retirement accounts and your life insurance policy. So if you’ve gone through changes in your family situation, such as a divorce or remarriage, work with your professional team, including your financial advisor and your tax and legal advisors, to make ensure your investment strategy aligns with your estate goals. Once the turkey is eaten and the foot- ball games have ended, Thanksgiving will draw to a close. But consider these strategies sharing your “bounty” with your loved ones all year long — and throughout your lifetime.

and interesting people and the right man may be among them. “Hi! I’m Nick O’Time here on “This Old Horoscope.” “I’m Penny Hassel and the lump asleep on the couch is my husband, Bill.”
Chicken Little & the Astrologer By Wesley Hallock
It’s a busy week, so be on your toes! We’re back on the set of “This Old Horoscope” as host Nick O’Time lays out a remodeling plan for Penny Hassel’s poorly performing Jupiter. Nick, ever the optimist, thinks Penny can do better than the horizontal spouse-on-the-couch train wreck that is currently her marriage. In a separate segment Nick has a surprise in store for us. We’ll let Nick unfold the details. But first, something from the reader mail bag. (Yes, snail mail lives!) Mr. Chicken Little: Can you look into the future? How does it look for me? To the point, I am interested in a neat guy, but I feel it is a one way road. Are we a couple or not? I want him to stick around but he is on one day and distant the next. I am confused. Born 10/10/1934 at 12:41 AM in Seattle, WA (Me) and 4/1/? ? ?(Him) Dear Confused: No, sorry, you are not a couple. Listen to your feelings; they are always your best guide. Your problem is that you are trying too hard. The best relationships happen when you aren’t looking. A suggestion: Interest yourself in a new hobby (computers come to mind!). You will meet new
“Penny, I’m going to give you a tool to get ‘the lump’ up and moving. Stand facing this wall with your elbows bent so you can see your palms. Good. Now look and imagine you see the word ‘Joy’ written on both palms. When you can see it, lean forward and press the word and the concept of joy into the wall with both hands. Push using your heart energy, letting joy run out your arms and into your hands. That’s great.” “Great? This wall is about as responsive as Bill.” “The wall is just a catcher’s mitt, Penny. Jupiter in the form of your heart energy is your pitching arm. We’re working on getting it into shape. Keep your palms against the wall and keep pushing joy.” “Isn’t this the stance of people under arrest just before they get handcuffed by police?” “Take a break, Penny. We need to work on your mental imagery.” “Nick O’Time, back with you. While Penny Hassle works on her mental imagery, let’s shift gears. As promised, I have a surprise in store for you. “Take a listen… recognize this voice? ‘…We’re broadcasting this week from the Department of Imagination and Weird Stuff. My brother has the weird idea that he can make some extra cash by running a Psychic Hotline from his basement using an automated 800 number and a picture of himself wearing a swami’s red turban on his head. If that doesn’t scare you away, you can also give us a call about your car problems at 1-800-CAR-TALK.’ “You guessed right. I’m about to go live…”

I just put a bucket under it?” “Don’t listen to my brother, Nick, Tom’s leaky faucet is between his ears and it’s been dripping since third grade.” “Don’t listen to my brother, either, Nick. I figure that by fixing the drip, I’ll become an ex-spurt, which is a former drip under pressure, ha ha! The pressure is coming from our producers. They want us to give our callers more reliable advice, but the trouble is, they don’t say more reliable than what. We’re already more reliable than politicians, Wall Street bankers and my brother’s imitation Rolex— what more can they ask?” “Nick, what can we do for you?” “I have a man with an embarrassing problem. He can’t get his truck in gear.” “Can’t get his truck in gear… that is embarrassing.” “Is his name Warren Clutch?”

producers already have someone on the line who may be able to give you a second opinion on your guy’s Venus. He writes a column called ‘Chicken Little and the Astrologer.’” “We were hoping to get Chicken Little for you, Nick, but we can only reach the astrologer. Should we tell the guy no thanks or would you like us to put him on?” “Sure, put him on.” “Hello, Nick! This is Wesley. I’ve been listening and you are spot on with the Venus-vehicle connection. Have you looked at Venus in the shodamsa chart?” “Yes, Wesley, in the shodamsa Venus in debilitation is ruling the 4th house, but in the navamsa it’s in exaltation in the lagna. That should mitigate the debilitation, but I’m worried about the shad bala total in the rasi. It’s only 89% of required. That’s where I decided to call Car Talk.”
“Yes! How did you know?”
“So this is how astrologers talk to one another. Fascinating!”
“Lucky guess, Nick. Once in a while my brother’s dripping faucet hits the bucket. He can also read our producers notes.”
“I have no idea what they’re saying. Is this how we sound when we talk car repair?”
“Don’t listen to him, Nick. That wasn’t luck; that was pure professionalism. Not only am I an aspiring expert, I’m an aspiring psychic.” “An expired psychic, you mean.

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.

PAUL BIRKELAND Paul Birkeland, age 96, went home to be with his Lord and Saviour Friday, November 7, 2014. Paul Maldal Birkeland was born September 4, 1918 in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway to Carl and Sophie Birkeland (nee Lassen). His father was a U.S. Foreign Service Officer. Paul spent his early childhood and teens living with his parents at his father’s assignments to many European countries. He attended local schools and learned to speak six foreign languages: Norwegian, Danish, German, French, Polish and Swedish. Paul graduated from the Lycee Francais de Varsovie, a French high school in Warsaw, Poland and in 1938 traveled to the U.S. to attend the University of Illinois, majoring in Political Science. He was a member of the ROTC and in 1942 earned his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. Shortly after his assignment to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, he was transferred to the newly established Military Intelligence Training Center (MITC) at Camp Ritchie, Maryland, where he was in the first class to graduate. In early 1943, he was selected for overseas service as Assistant Military Attaché at the American Embassy to the Allied Governments in exile in London: Norway, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland and Belgium. Because of his previous residence in Poland and near native fluency in Polish, he was assigned to work with the Polish General Staff Intelligence Service in the procurement of intelligence in support of the war in Europe. For this he was awarded the Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal by the United States and the Polish Gold Cross of Merit and Order of Polonia Restituta by Poland. After VE Day, the U.S. government reopened its embassies in the previously enemy-occupied countries. Paul, now Major Birkeland, was assigned as Assistant Military Attaché to Belgrade, Yugoslavia where he met his wife-to-be Harriet Jane Downs. Jane was Chief of the U.S. Embassy Code Room. They were married September 1, 1945. In 1947, at the conclusion of his tour of duty in Belgrade, he returned to the U.S. where he was assigned to duty in G-2 (Intelligence) in the Pentagon. In 1949, he was contacted by the CIA with an offer to work with the agency. He accepted

and spent the next 25 years as a career officer in the clandestine service of the Operations Directorate in both domestic and foreign assignments. He was a 1958 graduate of the Army War College. He took retirement in 1973 and moved to Oak Harbor, but agreed to contract employment with the CIA as a recruiter in the Pacific NW for ten years. He loved to play golf and was a member of the Whidbey Golf and Country Club. He was also interested in boating and was a 25 year active member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary working with the Coast Guard in operations and promoting boat safety. He was a life member of the Fraternal Order Sons of Norway and a member of the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. Since 2009, Paul has been a resident of Harbor Tower Village Assisted Living in Oak Harbor, WA. Paul was preceded in death by Jane, his wife of 55 years, and his daughter Janet. He leaves behind daughters Lesley Reifsnyder of Woodbridge, VA (husband Jim Reifsnyder), Carla Birkeland of Everett, WA and Ann Garton (husband Keith Garton) of Port Orchard, WA, as well as son Paul R. Birkeland of Bozeman, MT. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren: Heather (husband Matt Compy), Eric, Michael, Andrea (husband Josh Nelson), Brian, Yvonne and Joel. In addition, Paul leaves behind four great-grandchildren: Jakob, Jackson, Easton and Lila Jane. Paul also is survived by longtime friend Faye Konopick of Oak Harbor, WA. A memorial service celebrating Paul’s life will be held Sunday, November 23 at the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church at 2:30pm. The family has requested donations be made in Paul’s name to the American Heart Association, or a charity of your choice.
COLLEEN MOYNAHAN McLEAN Colleen Moynahan McLean completed her rich creative life Saturday, November 8, 2014. Born in Ketchikan, Alaska December 28, 1929 to Agnes Moynahan and Lt Commander J. Phillip Moynahan USCC, Colleen and her family spent her early years moving from base to base across the United States returning to Everett Washington in 1943. She attended Holy Angels Academy where her artistic talents were recognized by Sr. Edwina who recommended her to Cornish Academy of Art after her graduation in 1947. Colleen was accepted to Cornish and completed a year of study. Discouraged from returning for her second year by a faculty member who suggested that although she showed great promise she would “most likely get married, have a family and quit painting,” Colleen discontinued her formal art studies but continued to paint. She married Donald A. “Mac” McLean in August 1950 at Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle. They had 9 children, although 2 died in infancy, between 1951 and 1962. Throughout this very busy time Colleen continued to paint and draw, taking workshops and seminars as time and children allowed. She returned to Cornish in 1969 and renewed her focus on art and over the next 35 years she developed as a strong painter and portrait artist. She and Mac moved to the Oregon Coast in 1980 when Mac retired and Colleen became a founding member of the Casbah Artist Group participating in group shows and exhibits as recently as August 2014. During her 25 years on the Oregon Coast Colleen was also active in the Newport Arts community designing and building costumes for many theatre and dance productions and completed 2 artist in residence positions at the Sitka Art and Ecology Institute in Neskowin, Oregon. The Casbah Art group presented a 50-year Retrospective Art exhibition of Colleen’s work in 1996 at The Newport Fine Arts Center. Just prior to this event Colleen was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration and although her vision gradually declined she continued to paint until her move in 2009. She settled on Whidbey Island with her daughter and completed her life at Fairhaven Adult Family home where she passed away peacefully November 8, 2014. Colleen loved being surrounded by family and cherished the creative process. She was happiest creating art in the company of those she loved. Colleen is survived by her 7 children Mendy McLean-Stone, Bruce McLean, Martin McLean, Molly McLean, Kate Vasquez, Jenny Macc, Megan Hyde, 11 grandchildren, and 4 great- grandchildren. She is pre-deceased by her children Andrew and Shebonne McLean, husband “Mac” McLean and brother Pat Moynahan. Colleen requested no formal funeral services be conducted Cremation was held with private family inurnment to follow. Please visit Colleen’s page in the Book of Memories at www.wallinfuneralhome. com to share memories and condolences. Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC. Oak Harbor, WA.

Military Muster NAS Whidbey Island, Washington
November 20-26, 2014
Master Sgt. Ken Owens with the Center for Naval Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Whidbey Island, cuts a cake in honor of the Corps’ 239th birthday on November 10.
Whidbey Marines celebrate Corps 239th birthday By Naval Aircrewman Operator 1st Class (NAC/AW) Ted J Mansikka CNATTU reporter Every year on November 10, the Marines pause to celebrate the anniversary of the Corps. With a small contingent of Marines working at the Center for Naval Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Whidbey Island, they upheld this tradition by celebrating the Marines’ 239th birthday with a cake cutting ceremony. Master Sgt. Ken Owens, along with the oldest Marine present Tom Tomfohr, who was commis-
sioned in the Marine Corps in January 1968, and the youngest Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Jennings, who enlisted in the Marine Corps September 2013, led the ceremony. This ceremony reminds Marines of their commitment to the Corps and the Corps’ commitment to the nation’s quest for peace and freedom worldwide. The cutting of the cake is performed using the Mameluke Sword, the traditional sword carried by the Marine Corps which dates back to the assault of Derna, Tripoli in 1805. Once the cake is cut each of the honored members enjoyed a bite which symbolizes the passing down of knowledge from the most senior to the most junior.

NAS Whidbey Island What if it snows? Workers from University Mechanical place a new high efficiency cooling tower onto the roof of Fleet Readiness Center Northwest (FRCNW) on Nov. 4 as part of a larger $1.5 million energy project with the Bonneville Power Administration. These mission critical towers provide cooling calibration labs and to keep electronics test benches from overheating, directly supporting all flight line aircraft. FRCNW is the largest single energy consumer at NAS Whidbey Island, consuming over $810,000 a year and 5 million kilowatt hours or enough power to run about 500 homes for a year. Savings from these towers alone will pay for themselves in just five years and reduce the base energy bill by more than $40,000 per year for 10-15 years after that. Rebates from Puget Sound Energy are projected to be worth over $100,000. (U.S. Navy photo)
If it snows on Whidbey Island, you need to have some basic information readily available at home, in your wallet or in your car, not at the office or in the work center, to find out what’s going on before you head out to work. • Your Duty Office phone number • The NAS Whidbey Island Information Line: (360) 257-1080
• Internet: www.facebook.com/naswhidbeyisland or www.cnic.navy.mil/whidbey Also watch TV KOMO 4, KING 5, KIRO 7, KCPQ 13; or tune to KWLE 1340 (Anacortes); KAPS 660, KBRC 1340 (Mount Vernon); KAFE 104.1, KISM 92.9 FM (Bellingham); and KOMO 1000, KIRO 97.3 (Seattle). Be prepared when Mother Nature strikes.
