“Let me see if I have it right. Men are a luxury described by Venus, and women are logical problem solvers described by Mars.”

Join us on Black Friday for savings throughout the store!

“That would mean if we exited the planet tomorrow, our wives would fair just fine without us.”

“Which is an absurd thing to say. Better to say that Mars and Venus are both essential expressions of a well-rounded person, regardless of their gender.

Gender matters not.”

“So my brother’s inability to tie his shoes is not because he’s stupid. It’s because his Mars and his Venus agreed smarts is a luxury he cannot afford.”

Chicken Little & the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

You are just in time! We are returning from a commercial break on NPR. Turn up your radio, settle back in your chair and listen in: “You’re back with us, Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, on the third half of Car Talk. Actually, this is astrology talk, because we have on line with us two astrologers who seem to speak a language of their own, leaving us two ordinary car mechanics befuddled. In the case of my brother, that’s normal; he’s been befuddled since he didn’t learn to tie his shoes–” “Is that ‘right string over left’ or ‘left string over right’? I can never remember!”

“—which is the reason he has shuffled through life wearing slip-ons. Before the break we were about to ask Nick O’Time of This Old Horoscope and Wesley Hallock of Chicken Little and the Astrologer to explain away our confusion about manly Mars and girly Venus, using language that even my brother can understand.”

“Thank you, I appreciate that!”

“According to our two astrologers, Venus is the planet of cars and trucks, not Mars as we would have thought. Is that right, Nick?”

“That’s exactly right. Here on This Old Horoscope it’s common to investigate a dilapidated fourth house only to discover the astrological equivalent of a leaky roof, foundation rot and faulty wiring. In every case the cause is a weak Venus.”

“But how can that be? Everybody knows women are from Venus and men are from Mars. It just goes against common sense to associate a 4X4 Ford Ranger with tow package, front bumper winch and lighted roll bar with Venus instead of Mars.”

“Yeah, even I know that.”

“Wesley, maybe you can shine light on the subject.”

“I’m happy to. Whoever started the idea that women are from Venus and men are from Mars was not an astrologer. Venus is about luxurious things, for men and for women alike, and what is more luxurious to a man than the truck you just described? Any car is a luxury when compared to the alternative, which is foot travel; even the most decrepit jalopy.”

“Something like that.”

“I can live with that. I enjoy my slip-ons.”

“OK, let’s take this a little farther. Nick, you called us about your guy, Warren Clutch, who can’t get his truck in gear, and we suggested a new clutch plate. But you also said Warren’s clutch problem is rooted in his debilitated Venus. Is there a solution for a debilitated Venus? If there is, we’d like to know about it. We might actually be able to get my brother into a real pair of lace-up shoes that he can tie himself.”

“Traditional solutions are limited to praying to the proper deity of the planet and wearing the right gemstone to change the person’s vibratory frequency. Our Western culture doesn’t get good vibes off either of those options.”

“All over America, men are shooing their wives away from the radio so they won’t hear this.”

“The planet of logic describes the female parent….

This is ground shaking.”

“You have utterly and completely destroyed the world as we knew it.”

“I’m thankful to have lived when I did. But if our wives are so smart, what are they doing married to the likes of us?”

“Exactly. A mental tune-up.”

“My brother might need an overhaul, but go ahead.

What are you recommending for Warren?”

380 SE Barrington Drive Oak Harbor • 360.675.2235 1690 Main Street Ste 103 Freeland • 360.331.8424

“I’m going to recommend that Warren start a notebook of waking dreams and write as much as he feels to every day. I’ll give him some helpful starting lines, such as, ‘I dreamed my father and I were first graders together and our teacher was Superman.’”

“Wow! And of course Superman taught them to fly–“ “And this is going to help Warren with his gear problem….”

“Sure. Venus is vehicles and the male parent, remember, and a problem with one is a problem with the other. I want Warren to pour his thoughts onto the page in a context where anything is possible. His subconscious will deliver miraculous insights, including whatever he needs to go forward with his life. He will ‘get his truck in gear,’ so to speak, both figuratively and literally.”

Send it here!

The Freeland Habitat Store has repurposed over 1.25 Million lbs. of usable furniture, appliances & building supplies.

“Fascinating!”

“Maybe he can. Give yourselves a mental tune-up.

Those are both excellent first lines to start your own notebook of waking dreams.”

“Well, whether you are a man or a woman, and whether you dream of driving a freshly waxed Subaru or jalopy like my brother’s, it’s happened again. You’ve wasted another perfectly good hour listening to Car Talk….”

Next week: Test driving Penny Hassle’s mental tune-up.

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.

Don’t let your stuff end up here.

“So my brother’s love affair with his rusted out Dodge Dart is really his love of dear old Dad.”

“Or better yet, a first-generation Maserati Quattroporte with a five-speed manual transmission and a top speed of 140 miles per hour.”

“Astrology actually says the reverse. The male parent in a person’s horoscope is described by Venus, and the female parent by Mars.

Age is not just a state of mind... it’s a matter of savings!

“A mental tune-up.”

“So where does Mars come into the picture? Are you going to tell us hair dryers and nail polish are from Mars?”

“Wesley, did you just say men are smarter than women? Because if you are, all over America right now, men are dragging their wives over to the radio to hear this.”

£În£Ê-7Ê >À ÜÊ-ÌÊUÊ"> Ê >ÀL À ÎÈä ÈÇx È{ÈÊUÊÜÜÜ° à > `«iÌVi ÌiÀ°V

“I recommend something different in every case, but it is always a simple exercise to stimulate new thoughts and attitudes in the person.”

“Why couldn’t our father be a Rolls-Royce with a chauffeur to open my door and hand me my morning newspaper?”

“Wait a minute! If Mars represents men, and is also the planet of logic and problem solving--Did he just say what I think he said?”

Island Pet Center

“And how. My brother looks ready to run out of the room. So what do you recommend, Nick? You better come up with something else, fast.”

“Now you’re talking about my brother’s Dodge Dart. It’s so decrepit, he’s lucky to get to the store and back.”

“Those are luxuries for women, represented by Venus, again. Mars is actually the planet of logic and problem solving. ”

Celebrate the Holidays with a Festival of Russian Culture The NWLA Cultural Center in Langley announces the next installment of their popular Language of Food Series on Saturday, December 6, with Yolka, a celebration of Russian culture. This unique event series explores cuisines and cultures from around the world, and the ways in which they maintain an unbroken relationship with traditions of the past.

For $35, guests are invited to join a cooking class from 2:00pm to 5:00pm to learn the secrets of Russian cuisine. A team of Russian cooks will focus on traditional holiday recipes.

Participants will receive a unique cookbook with recipes from the instructors. Pre-registration required.

Then, from 5:30pm to 9:30pm NWLA will hold the Language of Food event Yolka. The evening begins with a Russian bazaar, where guests can shop a selection of Russian handicrafts – including matryoshka dolls, khokhloma cups, laquer boxes, and icons - just in time for the holidays. Following the bazaar, guests will enjoy a banquet of delicious winter specialties, prepared by native Russian cooks. The buffet meal will include such traditional holiday dishes as borsht, kotlety (cutlets), vareniki with cottage cheese, pelmeni, buckwheat kasha, rasstegai, pirozhki, and napoleon—incorporating Lenten choices in recognition of the Orthodox observance of the Feast of Nativity.

The evening’s performances will begin with the Kovalsky Youth Group, which will perform a Vertep, the traditional holiday pageant. Following this, NWLA is thrilled to welcome Juliana & PAVA. This vocal ensemble, founded by singer and ethnomusicologist Juliana Svetlitchnaia in 2000, performs ancient Russian folksongs that have been part of the fabric of rural life for centuries, accompanied by traditional folk instruments like the Russian hurdy-gurdy, balalaika, and various flutes. Some of the authentic village costumes worn by the singers are over 200 years old. The evening will conclude with a performance by the fantastic dance group Ivan da Marya.

Seating is limited; advance reservation is recommended, as the event is certain to sell out fast. Cost is $65. NWLA also welcomes work exchange and volunteers in various capacities.

The event will be held at the NWLA Cultural Center in Langley. RSVP at (360) 321-2101 or info@nwlanguageacademy.com. To learn more about NWLA and upcoming programs or classes, visit www.nwlanguageacademy.com.

The total amount to be paid to PSE customers will be $59.2 million, which includes interest that has accrued. PSE provides electricity to more than 1.1 million customers in eight counties: Island, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Thurston, and Whatcom.

How the Credits Will Work: Every current PSE electric customer, residential and business, will receive the credit.

Customers will not need to request the credit; it will automatically appear on their billing statements.

Because of varying billing cycles, most customers will see a portion of the credit on their December statement, and the remainder on their January bill.

The credits will be based on electricity used during the month of December.

In October, the state Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) approved the distribution to customers of $52.7 million, plus interest, from the proceeds of PSE’s sale of its Jefferson County infrastructure.

The UTC approved PSE’s request to distribute the credit through a one-time payout during winter, since it will be a benefit to customers when electric bills are typically higher due to colder weather and shorter daylight hours.

Puget Sound Energy is Washington state’s oldest local energy company. They serve 1.1 million electric customers and more than 770,000 natural gas customers in 10 counties.

For more information, visit www.pse.com.

WIHHA Presents: Adjusting for Peak Performance Tuesday, December 2, 6:30pm Freeland Library The nervous system is constantly scanning the body and the environment to keep us adapting to life. Powerful nerve centers in the brain stem operate as our “auto-pilot,” managing most basic life functions from heart rate and blood pressure to moods, sleep and even our balance with gravity. Research and clinical experience reveals how critical this area of the spine is in relation to overall health.

Correcting dysfunction in the brain stem optimizes our body’s ability to pursue peak performance in work and at play. Join Nate Steele, DC a NUCCA chiropractor for this informative talk. For more information about Whidbey Island Holistic Health Association visit www. wihha.com.

Actually, this is the second part first, as my borrowed laptop, just out of repair, stopped working after I had finished the first part of this two-part column effort.

Too much information,

you say? Ditto here.

So, what else is new? Let us get going before I forget where we were.

Jasmine Lines My soon-to-be-five-years young (December 8), sweet and darling, and way too full-of-cuteness cousin, Jasmine, had these remarks of noteworthiness during our most recent time together while coloring.

Hear in There Now that I am in my second week of HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (hearing aids), I must offer these observations: 1. Dr. Keating really knows Audiology. I am now learning, hoping to be a better listening ear to others than I have been. Now I know what folks are saying.

-PDBMMZ 0XOFE 0QFSBUFE t #FTU 1SPQBOF 7BMVF JO UIF /8

t 7*4*5 64 "5 XXX BQQQSPQBOF DPN

2. No longer do I need to speak so loudly. No longer will I speak louder than chainsaw artist Mike McVay. My neighbor Kevin said I have been talking too loud for at least half of our thirty-plus years of friendly neighborliness. Of course, there was the reciprocal sound of Kevin and Suzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dalmatian Woody. Woody would (I have always wanted to type that) imitate a pack of hyenas-in-heat, almost every time Kevin and Suzy went to the store.

3. The ringing in my ears, partially caused by my brain trying to hear the missing notes on the piano, completely ceases while wearing my HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It is as if I have gone from the tin can to the concert hall, without even having to dress up or be subjected to valet parking.

4. No, this is not a commercial for Dr. Keating. We are blessed to have two superb audiologists on Whidbey.

Dr. Kristine Jarrell, Au.D, in Coupeville, at 360-6394282, and Dr. Peter Keating, Au.D., with offices in Freeland (360-331-1415) and Oak Harbor (360-2791229), both keep us Whidbeyites dialed in to the sweet sounds of the Puget Sound.

5. Never have I enjoyed more the Ray Manzarek piano solo on Riders in the Storm, by the Doors.

Amazing what hearing the high notes can do. And all this time I thought my girlfriend Jennifer was whispering.

6. Hearing tests are free, no matter where you go get your hearing checked. Rather than drive to the V.A. in Mount Vernon, for a free pair of HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, I decided to let one of the 600,000 Vets already waiting in line for more important assistance, have my space. After all, I can buy my HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with my SSA. I can buy many HA, HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

7. Thanks to my HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, last weekend I was able to hear my nephew Matt refer to his interpretation of watching NASCAR, even over the over-amped and over-rpmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ed sound of the Sprint series finale on the 60â&#x20AC;? TV directly in front of us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watching NASCAR is like watching tennis in one direction.â&#x20AC;?

8. Having heard others bad-mouth their hearing devices, I was a bit concerned if I might be like many before me, putting my HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the drawer. Au contrare for me as I have tried several demo pairs before settling on Dr. Keatingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation.

I have tried, without much success, The Amazing Kreskin hearing aids. The Kreskin model enables one to hear what others are thinking. I tried these Kreskin models for two days around my friends before I realized I was actually in the wrong room.

Surely none of these friends would have thought such thoughts.

The Beyond Say model I tried enabled me to hear the voices from the other side. After a weekend with this model, which I thought was to be a Beyonceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; model, I returned the Beyond Say model. Hearing voices from the other side in all those languages was really confusing. It was like being on a party line to nowhere, but without the border crossings.

The Seriously Amen model I tried one Sunday allowed me to hear religious programming, but without commercials. I found I preferred hearing the commercials so I would wake up between sermons.

Other models I did not try include the Back to the Future model, where one can hear himself going and coming, and the HUH Model, which is cheapest because it does not do anything but cause you to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huh?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;What?â&#x20AC;?

9. When I first combed my hair while wearing my HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, I thought the neighbor was cutting hay. Unfortunately, my hair is not that tall, and it is not July.

10. Dr. Keating advised me not to wear my HA HAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at night as there is no reason to hear myself sleeping.

If you are like me, and maybe a tad too proud to stick a computer in your ear, let your hair grow, and do it anyway.

The sounds of silence never sounded so good.

Tee Time A golfer, now into his golden years, had a lifelong ambition to play the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedre, Florida, exactly the way the pros do it.

The pros drive the ball out over the water onto the small green on a small spit of land. It was something the golfer had tried hundreds of times, without success. His ball had always fallen short, into the water.

Because of this, he never used a new ball on this particular hole. He always picked out one that had a cut or a nick, as did many other â&#x20AC;&#x153;averageâ&#x20AC;? golfers when negotiating very challenging holes.

Recently he went to Sawgrass to try again. When he came to the fateful hole, he teed up an old, cut ball as usual, and said a silent prayer. However, before he could hit the ball, a powerful voice from above seemed to be booming out from the clouds, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait! Replace that old ball with a brand new one...a Titleist ProV1 if you have it.â&#x20AC;?

The golfer complied, with some slight misgivings, despite the fact that this same force seemed to be implying he was going to finally achieve his lifelong ambition. As he stepped up to the tee once more, the voice came down again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait. Step back. Take a practice swing.â&#x20AC;?

So he stepped back and took a practice swing, certain now that this heavenly force was going to make his dream come true.

The voice boomed out again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take another practice swing.â&#x20AC;?

Dutifully, he did. He stopped expectantly and waited...a long silence followed....

Then, the voice again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK ... Use the old ball.â&#x20AC;?

E-Mail Boundaries After being gone for several days, I returned to several hundred e-mails. Rather than read them all, I have developed a new approach to deciding which e-mails to read.

If the e-mail is a Forward, with all the addresses of the other recipients preceding the text to be read, I now hit delete. If folks do not have the courtesy to delete all that unneeded info before sending, forget it.

When in doubt, I just forward everything to Edward Snowden.

In addition, I am no longer texting with letters on the dial. With a flip phone, it is tedious to find the letters ABC on #2, JKL on #5, TUV on #8, and so forth.

Now, if I get a text, I respond with pen and paper.

I write down my info and then take a picture of it to send back as my reply to the texting sender. It is way fun to do. Cheap, thin, white paper plates are perfect to write on. Good backlighting for the text.

That pretty much ends the discussion. Senior Citizen Texting rocks. Take a picture of what you want to say. Send them your info. Shock your friends and family. Have fun doing it your way. Use dipthongs.

I do not mean to be forward, but, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all folks, until next week, when the Sarcasm Bus leaves the station for another run up and down the island.

Happy Thanksgiving, every day!

JUNE J. CRAWFORD June J. Crawford, age 98, died November 18, 2014 at HomePlace Memory Care, Oak Harbor.

She was born June 8, 1916 in Capper, Oklahoma, one of nine children. She traveled by horse and wagon with her parents at the age of two to Colorado, where her family homesteaded. Her father was a skilled carpenter and he built a rock house for the family.

The family left Colorado and returned to Oklahoma and then Arkansas. June, as a young woman, met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Crawford. Bob was not able to find work in Arkansas and traveled to Washington and Grays Harbor, where he had an Aunt and Uncle. He was hired as a logger and later as a truck driver building logging roads for Weyerhaeuser.

He returned to Arkansas where he and June were married November 1, 1937.

June and Bob moved to Brooklyn, WA, (Pacific Co) where they settled on a 40 acre farm in the North River area. Bob worked in the Saganau logging camp in Brooklyn. Soon, daughters Edith and Linda joined the family. June remained at home, working the farm, she was mother, hunter, fisherman, carpenter, gardener, skilled seamstress, horticulturist and rock WHAT’S GOING ON

hound. June was one of the few women in the North River valley who could drive and soon became the neighborhood shuttle driver for her daughters, as well as her friends. June and Bob spent fifty-five years in Grays Harbor. She is probably best known for her fishing skills.

Family Dermatology expands its family

WOODWARDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TAEKWONDO ACADEMY

By Kathy Reed There are two new faces at the Whidbey Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Dermatology Co. offices in Coupeville and Freeland. Mary Kay Graves joined the team in August, followed closely by Skagit County native Robert Mizen. The two nurse practitioners join Dr. Susan Oldenkamp and physician assistant Reese Bliek.

Courtesy Integrity Perseverance Self-Control Indomitable Spirit

Graves was licensed as a registered nurse in 1977 and as a family nurse practitioner in 1981, where she worked in emergency and internal medicine. In 1991, she added dermatology to her license, working in California for several years before coming to Washington State.

Graves practices general dermatology and medical dermatology, but also provides cosmetic treatments such as Botox, chemical peels and fillers.

Teaching Life Skills & Self-Defense

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Kay does some things we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to provide for the past couple of years.

That is something we can once again offer,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca Bliek, office manager.

Call Today to schedule your free introductory lesson!

Mizen took a slightly different route to his current position in dermatology. He was a mechanical engineer for 15 years, albeit with a passion for healthcare. He earned his nursing degree in 2010 and went on to graduate with honors as a family nurse practitioner from Seattle Pacific University. Originally from Skagit County, he is happy to be working on Whidbey Island.

Both Mizen and Graves are great additions to the team, said Bliek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having them here on staff also opens the door for us to grow and take on new patients.â&#x20AC;?

As always, Family Dermatology Co. is the only full-service dermatology clinic on Whidbey Island, with offices in Coupeville and Freeland. Staff focus on providing high quality care and customer satisfaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like our name says, we believe in treating our patients like family,â&#x20AC;? said Bliek.

The clinic treats ailments ranging from common skin conditions and medical dermatology to general dermatology surgery and Mohs (skin cancer) surgery. It might be surprising to learn that an average day at Family Dermatology includes seeing as many as 45 patients and conducting up to five Mohs surgeries. Countless warts and moles are examined and biopsies are performed, while treatment regimens are set up for those patients who may be dealing with acne or other common skin problems. It may also be surprising to discover that the majority of the clinicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients are senior citizens.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just tired of pesky blemishes or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about a moleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance, give Family Dermatology a call. The Freeland clinic is open Monday and Tuesday and is located at 1804 Scott Road, Suite 106 (on the lower level of China City). The Coupeville office is open Monday through Friday. It is located at 205 S. Main Street, Building B. You may reach them at 360-682-5024.
