AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (PG-13) CINDERELLA (PG)

www.whidbeyweekly.com

By Carey Ross Adult Beginners: Nick Kroll, suffering personal and professional defeat, returns home to become a manny for his sister and her husband in this movie that has no reason to exist yet somehow still does.  (R • 1 hr. 30 min.) The Age of Adeline: Blake Lively, a preternaturally beautiful woman who never seems to age, plays Adeline, a preternaturally beautiful woman who never seems to age.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 49 min.) Avengers: Age of Ultron: The Marvel gang is back together once again, and on a mission to earn all the money on earth one movie ticket at a time. Summer blockbuster season, meet your new ruler.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 21 min.) Child 44: I read a synopsis and watched a preview and I honestly (sort of) tried to discern what this movie was all about, but I was too distracted by human charisma bomb Tom Hardy to actually pay attention to things like plot and quality. Frankly, I would watch two hours of a movie in which Hardy tries to cancel his Comcast while sitting in a room full of crying babies, so I'm probably not the best judge here.  (R • 2 hrs. 17 min.)

It Follows: This is a movie in which the thing that goes bump in the night is transmitted sexually, making it a horror flick for the time we live in–and a smart, stylish movie to boot.  (R • 1 hr. 40 min.)

Little Boy: Emotionally manipulative faithbased WWII parable about a son trying to will his father home from the front. Even though the cast is decent (Emily Watson, Tom Wilkinson, and Michael Rapaport among them), they are overdirected within an inch of their lives, which makes one wonder if helmer Alejandro Monteverde would've been better off if he'd just let go and let God.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 46 min.) The Longest Ride: Dear Nicholas Sparks, I'm still not over the emotionally abusive relationship you somehow disguised as a love story in "The Notebook," and I probably won't forgive you for the many sins this adaptation commits, despite the fact that it is unlikely that I will ever watch it unless it's rebroadcast on the Lifetime Movie Network and I'm drawn in by my desire to hate something between commercial breaks.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 8 min.)

Cinderella: Cinderella, her glass slipper, her fairy godmother, her prince and that dastardly wicked stepmother get a live-action reboot, courtesy of director Kenneth Branagh  (PG • 1 hr. 45 min.) The Divergent Series: Insurgent: Current Hollywood can-do-no-wrong girl Shailene Woodley proves even she is not immune to the dreaded sophomore slump in this tepid second installment of the "Divergent" series. Good thing she'll have a couple of chances to redeem herself.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 58 min.)

Monkey Kingdom: The House of Mouse sends a bunch of cameras to southern Asia to follow a monkey mother and her baby. You can have your by-the-numbers princesses. This is the Disney movie I've been waiting for my whole life.  (G • 85 min.)

Ex Machina: Alex Garland ("28 Days Later, Sunshine") crafts for us a prescient story about a future in which machines become sentient and robots are our sexy new gods.  (R • 1 hr. 48 min.) Furious 7: Seven movies in, and this series remains high-speed Hollywood entertainment at its most implausibly pleasurable. Although this movie will always bear the distinction of being Paul Walker’s cinematic swan song, it serves his memory well.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 9 min.) Get Hard: This movie is Hollywood gambling on the notion that the general public thinks homophobia is the funniest thing ever, and, judging by the film's opening weekend box office performance, Hollywood was right and society still kind of sucks.  (R • 1 hr. 39 min.) Home: An animated adventure in which an alien teams up with a little girl on a quest to find her mother. At some point, the alien eats a urine cake, which pretty much lets you know the level of humor you can expect here.  (PG • 1 hr. 33 min.)

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2: I would watch "Modern Times Forever", an experimental Danish film with a running time of "10 days", sans bathroom breaks, before I would watch 10 minutes of this brain-cell killer. Suck on that, Blart.  (PG • 1 hr. 34 min.) True Story: When Christian Longo (played by James Franco) was arrested in Mexico where he'd fled after killing his family in Oregon, he told authorities he was Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill), a "New York Times" reporter who was disgraced after fabricating characters for a story. So, Finkel, lacking anything better to do with his life, decides to meet up with Longo–and that's when shit gets so weird it must be true.  (R • 1 hr. 40 min.) Unfriended: A sincerely scary movie in which victims are stalked via social media that takes issues like bullying, shaming and teen suicide to their most illogically frightening extremes. As if Facebook wasn't terrifying enough already.  (R • 82 min.) The Water Diviner: Russell Crow tries his hand at directing in this tale of a man who travels to Turkey following the Battle of Gallipoli in an attempt to find this three missing sons.  (R • 1 hr. 51 min.)

On Track with Jim Freeman

After many moments of research, I have discovered, as of this writing, I am 24,774 days old. By the time you read this, I will be even older.

Given I am at least 3,540 weeks old, if I were still getting my two buck weekly allowance for being my dad's son, and occasionally mowing or killing weeds with those Ortho poison stick tubes, I would have, sans interest, almost seven thousand dollars in my Christmas club account. That would buy a lot lof comic books.

Free Comic Book Day, now in it's 14th year, will take place all around the world Saturday, May 2, as over 5.6 million comic books will be given away by participating stores.Â

The Book Rack, in Oak Harbor, down from the Dollar Tree, across from the car wash, down the street from the Whidbey Weekly headquarters, where we just celebrated our sixth year under Eric's leadership and Seahawks fanaticism, will be part of the world-wide fun.

Stop in to see owner Matt Daniel of the Book Rack to receive your free comic book.

If Matt happens to run out, let me know as I have several hundred Superman, Superboy, Action, and assorted other comics in my six decade collection.

While some of my comics smell like locker rooms in York, Pennsylvania, the comics are still tolerable if reading outdoors.

Given I am almost 814 months old, maybe I should consider tossing some of these older comics. Imagine being twelve years young and being forced to pay a minimum of ten cents for all those exciting color pages.

Remember the letters to the editor in your comics? Ever write one?

Me neither. I always thought you had to live in Metropolis to get your name in the letters to the editor. At the time, I was living in Smallville.

Internet Humor for Seniors The biggest lie we tell ourselves is,"I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, come out wrinkle-free, and be three sizes smaller?Â

We don't trip over things, we do random gravity checks.

We do not have white hair. We have wisdom highlights.

Teach our daughters how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.

If God wanted us to touch our toes, He would have put them on our knees.

The kids text us "plz,� which is shorter than please. We text back "no" which is shorter than "yes.�

We're going to retire and live off of our savings. Not sure what we'll do the second week.

Of course, we talk to ourselves. Sometimes we need expert advice.

At our age, "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what we went in there for.

Up on the Farm What a pleasure it was to attend the recent Port of Coupeville Commissioners' meeting, held at the historic Greenbank Farm.

Port of Coupeville Commissioner Marshall Bronson stated, at the beginning of the discussion, an interesting observation.

“In Island County, we have four iconic structures: the Deception Pass Bridge, the Lighthouse, the Greenbank Farm, and the Coupeville Wharf. The Port of Coupeville manages two of the four.�

No easy task.

Kristi O’Donnell, a long time cheerleader of

8IJECFZ 8FFLMZ truth, justice, and the American way, was one of several key volunteers who helped lead the Save the Greenbank Farm initiative, way back in 1995. Kristi added her comments during the public discussion: “As Commissioner Bronson has identified the four iconic places on Whidbey Island, I want to add that I also see the Deception Pass Bridge as our connector, as the Lighthouse lights the way, while the Coupeville Wharf provides it's safe harbor and safe mooring, and our Greenbank Farm, located in the heart of Whidbey Island, nurtures our health, our spirits and our community.� Thanks to the many folks who attended the community gathering in support of their opinions and observations. We love watching our island communities speak their pieces, peacefully. No wonder we live here. Gossip Tips My most recent trip to Senior Thrift in Freeland garnered a must read for most—Gossipten pathways to eliminate it from your life and transform your soul. For a buck twentyfive, how could I go wrong?

My Pal, aka Queen Zorro, taught me that in reviewing any book, start at the last chapter. So, here we are, already on page 145, with the appendix, listing the ten pathways of positive speech according to authors Lori Palatnik and Bob Burg. Are you interested? We are almost there. As Otto von Bismarck advised his little Bismarcks, “Better pointed bullets than pointed speech.�

1. Speak No Evil. Say only positive statements. Let words of kindness be on your tongue. (There go all the coffee chats)

2. Hear No Evil. Refuse to listen to gossip, slander and other negative forms of speech. (There go all the book clubs) 3. Don't Rationalize Destructive Speech. Excuses like “But it's true� or “I'm only joking� or “I can tell my spouse anything� just don't cut it. (There go the Facebook entries) 4. See No Evil. Judge people favorably, the way you would want them to judge you. (There go the family reunions) 5. Beware of Speaking Evil without saying an evil word. Body language and even positive speech can bring tremendous destruction. (There go the next fair board meetings) 6. Be Humble: Avoid Arrogance. These will be your greatest weapons against destructive speech. (There go class reunions) 7. Beware of Repeating Information. Loose lips sink ships. Even positive information needs permission before being repeated. (There go the ferries) 8. Honesty Really is the Best Policy—Most of the Time. Be careful to always tell the truth, unless it will hurt others, break your own privacy or publicize your accomplishments. (There go numbers one thru seven above) 9. Learn to Say “I'm Sorry.� Everyone makes mistakes. If you've spoken badly about someone, clear it up immediately. (There goes my memory) 10. Forgive. If you have been wronged, let it go. (There go my woes) Remember. Yesterday ended last night, and so has this paragraph. One More Time We sure hope to see you at 7:30 P.M., tomorrow night, Friday, May 1, at South Whidbey High School auditorium, for our annual all-island jazz concert. Brush off your May pole and dance in the aisles to the rhythmic interludes of the jazz bands from Oak Harbor, Coupeville, and Langley. Tickets will be available at the door. These kids will once again, rock the Rock. To read past columns of On Track in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www.whidbeyweekly.com.

Pruning Workshop & Luncheon with Japanese Master Gardener Masa Mizuno On Saturday, May 2, from 10:00am to 1:30pm, NWLA is honored to welcome back revered Japanese Master Gardener Masa Mizuno for a pruning workshop at a private residence in the Headlands, on Whidbey Island.

This is a great opportunity to view an outstanding private garden and residence, and to meet and speak with one of the living masters of Japanese gardening in the company of other avid gardeners. Learn to recognize the inherent shape within the structure of a tree or shrub, to understand the balance of positive

The Japanese have been creating gardens since the first century A.D., designing miniaturized ideal landscapes based on symbolic, spiritual, and exacting aesthetic principles. In Japanese pleasure gardens, a series of view points are laid out to create specific corridors of sight; concealment and the slow reveal of disparate elements is of great importance, as is the principle of asymmetry, offering, as landscape gardener Seyemon Kusumoto once wrote, “the best of nature’s handiwork in a limited space.” Seating is limited; advance reservations are strongly recommended, as the event is certain to sell out. The cost for the workshop and luncheon is $75 per person, the balance of which will benefit NWLA’s summer camp scholarship program. NWLA is committed to providing its summer camps and language classes to all children regardless of ability to pay, and attendance at events such as these helps make this commitment possible. Reservations can be made on line via NWLA’s website, or by calling (360) 321-2101 or info@ nwlanguageacademy.com.

AAUW Whidbey Branch Scholars Recognition and Scholarship Awards An enthusiastic and supportive audience of parents, friends and members of American Association of University Women honored young women and girls from schools all over Whidbey Island at their April 14 meeting. AAUW works all year to raise funds to give a $2,000 scholarship to each of the three public high schools and to give stipends to junior girls selected by their teachers as outstanding students in math, science and technology. Also, a program called Tech Trek was begun last year to send middle school girls to have a camp experience immersed in the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math. The purpose of these scholarships and awards is to support girls with an interest and strong motivation for higher education to be able to attend colleges and especially to foster those who show a talent with STEM subjects.

7th graders/TECH Trek, from left to right: Anna Dion (Coupeville Middle School), Emma Smith (Home Connection), Hannah Samuels (North Whidbey Middle School), Arianna Marshall (Langley Middle School), Ayla Randolph (Oak Harbor Middle School).

Carol Rice, chair of this event, shared the passion which the Whidbey Branch of AAUW has for supporting girls and their education. Jessica Koeberle, who worked hard to start the Tech Trek program, introduced the following middle school awardees: Hannah Samuels from North Whidbey Middle School; Ayla Randolph from Oak Harbor Middle School; Emma Smith from Home Connection; Anna Dion from Coupeville Middle School; and Arianna Marshall from Langley Middle School. Hannah was described by teachers as a creative student who hoped to change the world with her love of math and science. Ayla hoped that the Tech Trek experience would help her reach her dream of medical research. Emma thought Tech Trek might fire her imagination in new directions for math and science and is interested in green alternatives for the world. Anna would like to be a pediatrician and sees Tech Trek as helping her on her path. Arianna would use her skills in observation to help make the world better through science. An impressive group of girls for the world’s future.

Senior Students/Academic Scholarships, from left to right: Angie Homola (AAUW), Eri Horikawa (Oak Harbor High School), Isla Dubendorf (South Whidbey High School), and Amanda HoesmanFoley (Coupeville High School)

The highlight of the evening was the awarding of the $2,000 scholarships to three outstanding young women. Amanda Hoesman-Foley of Coupeville High School would like to be an elementary school teacher. She is eligible for the Presidential Scholarship Award which shows her love of academics. She has been a student body officer throughout high school. She has participated in People to People programs learning about other cultures. Isla Dubendorf of South Whidbey High School is also a Washington Scholars Award winner. She has an interest in veterinary medicine and has been admitted as one of the select group of Honors research students in Washington. Eri Horikawa of Oak Harbor High School was introduced by Angie Homola who chaired the selection committee for all three scholarships winners. Angie spoke of the high caliber of entrants this year and the difficulty in narrowing the choices to only three finalists. Eri showed her high commitment to others volunteering at Whidbey General Hospital and hopes to be a speech therapist after attending the University of Washington. The evening closed with a round of applause for all these outstanding girls and a special applause for the teachers and parents of these girls. An opportunity to get acquainted was enjoyed with varied good refreshments. [Submitted by John Stanton]

Get Fit Your Way By Sam Erickson Exercise can seem like such a chore, particularly if you haven’t been physically active for a while. For many, starting an exercise program means getting new workout clothes and heading out to some new facility, whether a gym or a yoga studio. Really, exercise can be pretty simple. There are opportunities around you at every turn. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer some flexible recommendations for exercising. At the very least, adults should engage in moderate aerobic activity for 150 minutes each week or vigorous physical activity for 75 minutes each week. Activities that strengthen muscles are also recommended at least two days per week. The easiest, cheapest option is to walk. For walking to count as exercise, the heart rate must be elevated and you’ll have to break a sweat, but all you will really need is a decent pair of shoes and a little bit of sidewalk to start on your way. Even if you can only manage a 15-minute walk, you’ll get the minimum recommended. If you feel good at a brisk walk, you can try jogging at a slow pace and gradually increase the pace as you get fit. Kids are a great source of energy, and you can tap into that to help you in your exercise

Rosario Skin Clinic Your Dermatology Specialists s Board Certified s Mohs Surgery

s Medical s Surgical s Cosmetic

regime. If you have kids, you can join them in a game of tag, a swim in the pool or just running around for a few minutes to get a modicum of exercise. If you’ve got a newborn at home and can’t get away, try using the baby as a medicine ball of sorts, using its weight to your advantage. Joining a gym is a good option for some. Most gyms offer personal training, which can provide a lot of knowledge about diet and exercise. Trainers can also give you individual attention and establish a program that will help you be successful. Most gyms have multiple trainers, so if your personalities conflict, you can always seek out another. Gyms also often have classes like aerobics, yoga and pilates, allowing you to vary your exercise routine. Before joining, find out about the membership requirements and cancellation options. Paying for a gym membership you never use can be very discouraging. Some people prefer solitary activities and some prefer activities that require larger groups. If you are generally an outgoing person or looking to develop your social life, team sports can be a great way to meet people and exercise at the same time. If you are looking for some alone time, riding a bike or hiking can provide you with that. The key element is to make your exercise work for your life, not to make your life work for your exercise. If you don’t find something you enjoy doing, then you won’t continue to do it. It’s great if you love to rock climb or go windsurfing or train for long runs, but that’s not what is required for you to be physically fit and lead a healthy, robust life. A few minutes a day a few days a week will keep you in good shape for years to come.

Charline Wilson Charline Wilson passed away peacefully at home in Oak Harbor April 9, 2015, just four days after her 86th birthday celebration Easter Sunday with most of her children, granddaughters, and great-grandchildren attending. Her health declined in recent months while she was surrounded by loving family members and dedicated caregivers. She was born in Chicago and spent her early years in Pelham Manor, NY. During her teens, Charline lived with her indulging mother and pampering grandmother in Ronan, Mont. and in Palm Springs and Pasadena, Calif. Charline filled her days with mostly adult companions by creating plays and acting them out in neighborhood back yards. She also began her life-long interest in religion – ending at Whidbey Presbyterian Church in Oak Harbor. In 1946, she graduated from high school in the Pasadena Rose Bowl, and then attended Stanford University where she wrapped up a MRS degree by successfully landing her husband, Doug Wilson, a fellow student and Naval Aviator veteran. Moving with Doug’s oil exploration career path, they raised four children – Bruce, Marc, Cheri, and Kevin – in Bakersfield, CA, Roswell, NM, Midland, TX, Manhattan Beach and Corona del Mar, CA. Though her studies were postponed in 1949 after beginning her family, in typical fashion she persevered and in 1970 completed her bachelor’s degree in History from the University of California, Irvine and received a teaching credential. She loved being a teacher and librarian in Corona del Mar and later in Kauai. She and Doug retired to Kauai in 1978 and jointly started a successful real estate brokerage. She was involved in many organizations – Hospice, Hawaiian cultural endeavors, church, cruise ship greeting, Outdoor Circle, and condominium governance. She was at home with people of all cultures. They enjoyed traveling to unusual places such as remote South Pacific islands, Eastern Europe behind the iron curtain, and northern Alaska. She said she would like to live permanently on a cruise ship. They moved to a cottage at Oak Harbor’s Regency on Whidbey after Charline’s 80th birthday celebration in the owner’s suite of a cruise ship circling the Hawaiian Islands. Charline is survived by Doug, beloved husband for 66 years, as well as by their 4 children, 6 granddaughters, and 4 great-grandchildren. She was devoted to them as they were to her.

Charline loved to throw parties and celebrate events throughout her life. She faced life with happiness and zest. She asked that any celebration of her life be a party so we will have a remembrance party for Charline Saturday, June 20, 2015, from 2-4:30 PM at the Whidbey Cottages Club House, 161 W. Whidbey Avenue in Oak Harbor. Check www.whidbeymemorial.com for more details, and you are encouraged to share memories and condolences at that site. Charline, we love you with all our hearts and will miss you forever.

Robert "Bob" Gordon Warnock Robert “Bob” Gordon Warnock passed away April 18, 2015, at Home Place in Oak Harbor, WA, after a long, active life. He was born June 5, 1935 in Seattle, WA, the only child of Robert L. and Marion Warnock. Bob graduated from Oroville High School in 1953 and attended the University of Washington where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. He married his first wife, Lynn, in the early 1960s. After serving for a short time in the U.S. Air Force, he had a successful 31-year career with the United States Postal Service in both the Seattle area and later Clinton, where he retired as the Post Master in September 1992. After a ”whirl wind” courtship, Bob married Noreen Furman in October of 1980. They made their home in Langley where he was active in the South Whidbey Lion’s Club, St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, and several community bands and choirs. He enjoyed both singing and playing the saxophone, clarinet, and organ. After retiring, Bob and Noreen traveled throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe in search of history, culture, and adventure. Their favorite place in the world was Rockaway Beach in Oregon where they traveled several times each year to hear the sound of the ocean. They moved to Oak Harbor in 2004 where Bob continued his participation in community bands and was active in the Whidbey Presbyterian Church.

Bob was known for his sense of humor and passion for sports, especially rooting for the Huskies and Mariners. Above all, his family was his greatest treasure. He is survived by his wife of almost 35 years, Noreen; his son, Robert G. Warnock ll; his step children, Lorena Gabelein (Albert) and J. Christopher Burns; his beloved three grandchildren, Julie Bianchi (John), Jennifer Gabelein, and Steven Gabelein. He was particularly excited about the recent arrival of his great granddaughter, Aila Bianchi. A memorial service will be held May 8, 1pm at the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, 1148 SE 8th Avenue, Oak Harbor, WA. Donations may be made to the Whidbey Presbyterian Church, in his name.

Family Fest is Coming to Oak Harbor May 16 - Vendors Wanted A holiday that highlights many aspects of Mexican culture, in all its vibrancy, color, spirit and of course cuisine is Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) which serves to commemorate Mexico’s victory in the battle of Puebla, against the French in 1862 during the six year Franco-Mexican war (1861-1867). It is celebrated full force all over the United States but particularly in areas where there are large Mexican-American communities. Just as a quick note, it seems that sometimes people tend to confuse Mexican Independence day with Cinco de Mayo. The Mexican Independence day is observed September 16 and was actually declared half a century prior to the battle of Puebla. While this holiday is observed all over the United States, and celebrated on a rather large scale, in Mexico it seems celebrations are more prevalent in Puebla where the battle against the French was won. It’s common for there to be military parades, recreations of the battle, street vendors, and so on, but in the rest of Mexico it’s apparently lower key. As it isn’t a federal holiday, shops and government buildings stay open May 5. In America some of the largest Cinco de Mayo festivities can be found in cities like Los Angeles, Houston and Chicago. Everyone partakes and there is so much fun to be had. Mariachi music, traditional Mexican folk dancing, parades, food, drink, you name it, if it epitomizes Mexican culture, it most certainly will be celebrated in a big way, this day. Mexican food is fantastic. I love it, though some of it is a bit spicy for my palate and I keep a glass of milk handy to cool off the burn when it gets a bit too much for me to handle. Now since Puebla is the place where Cinco de Mayo was ‘born’ I wanted to find foods that are authentically from this area. I came across Mole poblano, which some say came about as the result of a group of 16th century nuns who, in a bid to ensure they made a dish fitting for an Archbishop who was visiting (although some people say it was the viceroy of Spain), emptied out their entire pantry basically, to create it. This dish supposedly took hours upon hours to simmer and ready itself, and contained approximately 30 ingredients, including nuts, spices, chilies, chocolate, bread, and the list goes on much longer. When this sauce was ready it was a thick, sweet, stewed pot of delicious, which was served over the only meat the nuns were able to acquire – Turkey. Nowadays Mole is more often than not, served over chicken. I became aware through my research of this festive day that Spanish nuns were major contributors in the culinary scene, in Puebla particularly, as they created a conglomerate between their old world traditional dishes with the ingredients available in the ‘new world’. They were the responsible parties for many of the food items eaten to this day. Mole isn’t just served over turkey however. In fact, it can be used in another traditional Cinco de Mayo platter called chilaquiles. This mouth-watering dish is made by cutting corn tortillas into quarters or triangles and very lightly frying them in oil. It is then topped with red salsa, green salsa or mole and garnished with crema (cream), queso fresco, onion and avocado, though some people will add egg and/or shredded chicken to their version of chilaquiles. The contents and ingredients of this are also highly regionally influenced and differs according to family tradition as well. In central Mexico, chilaquiles are served with crispier tortillas, and in

Sinaloa, they are prepared with a white sauce sometimes. I’m sure this dish is fantastic regardless of the way it is made and served. Another favorite of mine, and a relatively ‘traditional’ item found on any Cinco de Mayo menu, is the chalupa. There are two versions of the origins of this particular Mexican staple. One, it was named after ancient Aztec boats which were called chalupas, and the other, they were named after the washing baskets used by Spanish settler women. These baskets were a hold-all for the necessities of laundering clothes at the river and were also called chalupas. Now whether the names came about because the food was reminiscent of the item they were supposedly depicting is not certain, but both theories are pretty sound to me. So a chalupa is a thick tortilla fried in oil or lard and then stuffed with shredded pork or chicken, onion, salsa and cheese. How can anyone celebrate Cinco de Mayo without eating one of these?! No celebration would be complete without a sweet treat or a dessert, right? It’s also relatively common to find tres leches cake and pan Dulce (but the former is more popular) at any given Cinco de Mayo festivity or party. I have never had the pleasure of tasting pan Dulce so it is definitely on my ‘to do’ list, however it must be said I can never ever get enough of tres leches cake. It’s one of my favorites actually. The origins of it aren’t exact but many people seem to think it originated in Central America, though variations of this dessert can be found EVERYWHERE. With all the celebratory preparations for Cinco de Mayo, I hope some of you at least will partake in the merriment, especially the culinary sort. I live vicariously through people’s gastronomic endeavors and undertakings so please do let me know what, if any, delicious Mexican dishes you try during the celebrations over this period, since there are so many and I only barely scratched the surface of the plethora of food made and consumed on this day. I am including a recipe for chilaquiles for you to try, so feel free to let me know how they turn out at letsdish@ whidbeyweekly.com because, as always, I’d love to hear from you so let’s dish! Chilaquiles 6-8 corn tortillas, cut into quarter or smaller triangles 5 eggs beaten Vegetable oil for frying 1 can of El pato sauce (which is like a hot tomato sauce) Shredded cheese Optional Items: Avocado Chopped onion Shredded chicken crema Heat the oil in a pan and add the tortilla quarters/triangles. Cook these on medium to high heat until the tortillas are a little crispy. Add the eggs to the tortillas in the pan and stir until cooked through. Add the El pato sauce and stir around until the egg and tortillas are coated with it. Remove from heat and add the amount of cheese you would like and serve. Remember you can top this with avocado, onions, crema and even shredded chicken! www.instructables.com www.smithsonian.com www.history.com To read past columns of Let's Dish in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www.whidbeyweekly.com.

svamsa in Scorpio: “The person is learning to transmute material and emotional needs into spiritual happiness. Under good influences from other planets, there is much progress. Adverse influences only increase the pain. Aspects to debilitated planets hurt most.”

Chicken Little & the Astrologer By Wesley Hallock

As all writers know, and as would-be writers quickly discover, the art of saying much in a few words demands a trade-off. Benjamin Franklin knew it. Mark Twain knew it. The Roman orator Cicero knew it. The Roman said it best: “Cicero apologizes for having written a long letter, by saying he had not time to make it shorter.” The trade-off, as Cicero so artfully conveyed, is time. The more clear and concise is the writing, the greater is the investment of time. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way to say much with few words and say it even while pressed for time? In fact, there is a way. It’s called astrology. A snippet of conversation between two astrologers of old reveals it: “Jaimini, tell me about the man you met today.” “Gladly, Parashara. Enough to say, ‘svamsa in Scorpio.’” “Ouch! And aspecting planets?” “Only debilitated Mars, Parashara, and debilitated Jupiter.” (Parashara sighs heavily, with a sad shake of his head.) Our conversation is hypothetical, but it describes the birth chart of a real man. The man is Philip K. Dick, deceased author of innumerable short and long sci-fi works, including the novel, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? Movie goers may better remember the film that book inspired, Kubrik’s Blade Runner. As the conversation about Dick suggests, a birth chart is dense with compressed ideas, like a computer .ZIP file. The art of unpacking the file is the astrologer’s art.

What were our two astrologers of old saying about Dick? Why was ‘ouch!’ the response to ‘svamsa in Scorpio’? Because a prediction is compressed within those three words. It is obviously not good. A quote from this astrologer’s generic notes on svamsa in Scorpio, based on the writings of Jaimini, spells out the prediction: “Svamsa means, ‘soul indicator.’ In Scorpio, it indicates a person who suffers the pain of an inner void, an emptiness that arose early in life due to a severe lack of nurturing, combined with emotional loss and abandonment.” Dick’s life was patterned on the prediction. On December 16, 1928, his mother gave birth six weeks prematurely to him and a twin sister. Neither baby thrived. The mother was ill with chronic kidney disease and unable to adequately nurse the twins. Within little more than a month of birth both babies were rushed to the hospital, severely dehydrated and malnourished. Dick’s sister died enroute, and baby Phil was put in a hospital incubator. All of his life Dick mourned the loss of his twin and the consequent inner void her death left within him. He wrote of his loss: “She fights for her life and I for hers, eternally. . . .My sister is everything to me. I am damned always to be separated from her/& with her, in an oscillation.” Ouch, indeed. But, as Parashara’s sigh implied, loss and abandonment was not the end of the bad news. What do debilitated Mars and Jupiter imply that rendered Parashara speechless? To continue the generic prediction of pain from

Debilitated planets hurt most, and Dick had two. In this we understand the reason Parashara could only sigh and shake his head. Dick was all but guaranteed the worst potentials of svamsa in Scorpio. To further unzip the compressed meaning, debilitated Jupiter warns that a person will lack the Jupiterian qualities of tolerance, patience and understanding—the very qualities needed to cope with svamsa in Scorpio. Such was the prediction. What were the facts? Did lack of tolerance and understanding magnify Dick’s pain? Dick’s advice to his daughter about school is telling: “In a sense,” he wrote, “the better you adapt to school the less your chances of adapting to the real world. So I figure, the worse you adapt to school, the better you will be able to handle reality when you finally manage to get loose at last from school, if that ever happens. But I guess I have what in the military they call a ‘poor attitude,’ which means ‘shape up or ship out.’ I always elected to ship out.” Dick wrote this in 1974 at the age of 46. Patience, tolerance, understanding? The years plainly had done little to instill any of these qualities in Dick, and not for lack of help. From his earliest school years, Dick was in and out of counseling and therapy offices, with nothing but contempt to show for any of it. Predictions of ill from his debilitated Jupiter affirmed. Unzipping some more, debilitated Mars warns that a person will lack Mars-given logic and problem-solving ability. And the facts of Dick’s life? Dick’s long-time mentor, Anthony Boucher, left an unpublished biography of Dick: “... Married, has two daughters and a young, pretty nervous wife...Spends most of his time listening to first Scarlatti and then Jefferson Airplane, then Götterdämmerung, in an attempt to fit them all together. Has many phobias...Owes creditors a fortune, which he does not have. Warning: don’t lend him any money. In addition, he will steal your pills.” In Dick’s own words from a letter: “We all take speed and we are all going to die, but we will have a few more years...and while we live we will live it as we are: stupid, blind, loving, talking, being together, kidding, propping one another up.” Logic and problemsolving ability? Dick’s see-saw life of failed marriages between spates of communal living, excessive drug use (both prescription psych meds and illegal street drugs), money woes, suicide attempts and revolving-door familiarity with various rehab centers clearly say logic and problem-solving as it pertained to himself escaped Dick. Predictions of ill from his debilitated Mars affirmed. ‘Svamsa in Scorpio, aspected only by debilitated Mars and debilitated Jupiter.’ How much information Jaimini compressed into those few words, and all of it understood by Parashara. Such is the astrologer’s art. Yet every birth chart contains its shining rays of good. Where were Dick’s? Next week: Concluding with look at the bright side of Philip K. Dick.
