On Track with Jim Freeman

This is the first time I have ever typed a column while seated in a purple chair. In fact, this is my first time ever sitting in a purple chair. I heard from a feng shui advocate that purple attracts money.

I am still waiting.

Some of my friends are in the Red Hat Club. I hope to be in the Purple Hat Club someday. May as well get used to the color purple since I see the chair staring at me as I look down at the computer keyboard to type with my two forefingers.

I know.

This is way too much info about something obviously boring to anyone who does not like the color purple, or Oprah.

On to our reenactment question and answer session, supposedly from a recent Canadian Association of Retired People Forum:

Q and A Q: Where can single men over the age of 70 find younger women who are interested in them? A: Try a bookstore, under Fiction.

Q: How can I increase the heart rate of my 70 year old husband? A: Tell him you are pregnant with twins.

Q: How can I avoid the terrible curse of the elderly, wrinkles? A: Take off your glasses.

Q: Why should 70 plus year old people use valet parking? A: Valets don't forget where they park your car.

Q: Is it common for a 70 plus year old to have problems with short term memory storage? A: Storing memory is not a problem. Retrieving it is the problem.

Q: As people age, do they sleep more soundly? A: Yes, but usually in the afternoon.

Q: Where should a 70 plus year old look for eye glasses? A: On their foreheads.

Q: What is the most common remark made by a 70 plus year old when entering an antique store? A: "Gosh, I remember these!"

Live to 100 Wine is not the only drink that is good for you, as noted in the following interview with 101year-old Hattie Mae MacDonald.

Reporter: "Can you give us some health tips for reaching the age of 101?"

Hattie: "For better digestion, I drink beer. In the case of appetite loss, I drink white wine. For low blood pressure, I drink red wine. In the case of high blood pressure, I drink scotch. And when I have a cold, I drink Schnapps."

Reporter:"When do you drink water?"

Hattie: "I've never been that sick."

Trash Talk Growing up in the Midwest, we learned most of our new terminology at recess, some at detention, and some while on summer vacation. In Ohio, we occasionally heard the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;white trashâ&#x20AC;? in reference to certain neighborhoods. In Tennessee, we heard the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;trailer trashâ&#x20AC;? with regard to those folks who had a different approach to back porch bar-b-que than the folks in the suburbs.

In Arizona, we heard the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;desert trashâ&#x20AC;? for the folks who might be in recluse mode in search of a gold strike.

The Internet paints a less-politically correct pictureâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trailer Trash: A derogatory description for a person who seems well suited to residential life in a mobile home park, and is distinguished by poor hygiene, foul language, slovenly or slutty clothing, and general ignorance.

Recreational activities include drinking malt liquor in lawn chairs under a tattered R.V. awning and teenage pregnancy. Close synonym for poor white trash. Can also be used as literal term for personal effects strewn by tornado when ripping though mobile home park.

Some friends of ours who are downsizing from a double tall to a double wide jokingly say they are becoming trailer trash. I told them both that certainly was not so because once a couple is put in witness protection, it is not uncommon for both to have to take a step back, after taking two steps sideways. At least, that is what we experienced in boot camp when our platoon of recruits tried to do a column left for the very first time. The Blonde Man A blonde man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts: "Did you find the shampoo?" He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine." A blonde man goes to the vet with his goldfish. "I think it's got epilepsy," he tells the vet. The vet takes a look and says, "It seems calm enough to me." The blonde man says, "Wait, I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet." A blonde man spies a letter lying on his doormat. It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND." He spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up. A blonde man shouts frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor. "No!" he shouts, "this is her husband!"

A blonde man was driving home, drunk as a skunk. Suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another. A cop car pulls him over, so he tells the cop about all the trees in the road. The cop says, "That's your air freshener swinging about!"

A blonde man is in jail. The guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet. "Just WHAT are you doing?" he asks. "Hanging myself," the blonde replies. "The rope should be around your neck" says the guard. "I tried that," he replies, "but then I couldn't breathe." An Italian tourist asks a blonde man: "Why do scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?" The blonde man replies: "If they fell forward, they'd still be in the boat." A friend told the blonde man: "Christmas is on a Friday this year." The blonde man then said, "Let's hope it's not the 13th." Two blonde men find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station. One asked: "What if one explodes before we get there?" The other says: "We'll lie and say we only found two."

Chair-ity Auction to Benefit Good Cheer Hospital Volunteers Make a Difference with Medical Equipment

Sue Connelly and Vada McGuire lend their sales associated services as volunteers in the Whidbey General Hospital Gift Shop.

Sometimes wishes do come true, with a little help from volunteers. Whidbey General Hospital Auxiliary Board recently approved the annual Medical Equipment Wish List for 2015. The Wish List is funded by sales from the volunteer-run WGH Gift Shop, hospital vendor sales and funds raised by the Polly Harpole Hospital Guild. In its best return to date, the auxiliary approved funds totaling a little more than $59,000. The money for 2015’s list was raised throughout last year under the direction of then Auxiliary Board President Jan Hays. “The Gift Shop is run entirely by volunteers who provide excellent personal service to our customers. Under the leadership of the Gift Shop Manager, Michelle Suggs, our shop has grown in popularity in the community,” said WGH Manager of Volunteer Services, Nancy Bailey. “Come on in and see what we have to offer!” The Polly Harpole Hospital Guild began prior to the hospital opening its doors in 1970. Bailey said the guild has been a continual source of support for the hospital since that time. “We owe them many thanks for their years of dedication to our hospital,” she said.

Repurposed chairs become dinner for families on South Whidbey South Whidbey Good Cheer Food Bank invites the community to repurpose or build a chair with a theme to be auctioned off in an online auction. The proceeds will benefit the Good Cheer Food Bank which averages feeding about 900 families a month. The chairs can be decorative or functional. Good Cheer is encouraging folks to think in terms of a theme. Some ideas that are being used are, taking an old saddle and making it into a chair for a child to sit on, or an oil painting of local animals and scenes on the back of an old oak chair. If you have an old rickety chair that you have turned into a planter, Good Cheer would love to have it in their auction. Good Cheer hopes to get as many chairs as possible turned in by July 6 so they can showcase them in Langley during Choochokum. They will continue to accept chairs and add them to the online auction which will go on until September 30. The chairs will be highlighted on the Good Cheer website with the photos of how they were made and what the theme means to the artist. Good Cheer Food Bank serves the community of South Whidbey in helping create a hungerfree community. The Good Cheer Food Bank is set up like a grocery store where families can shop for what foods best serve their family’s needs. The selection includes fresh from the Good Cheer Garden produce as well as other staples. For more information on Good Cheer and the Chair-ity Auction, please go to www.goodcheer.org/chairity_auction or stop by either Good Cheer Thrift Store.

The 88 Keys Piano Club with Maureen Girard and Special Guest Nelda Swiggett Whidbey Island Center for the Arts is excited to announce their second 88 Keys Piano Club in Zech Hall featuring top jazz talent Nelda Swiggett side-by-side with host Maureen Girard on Saturday, May 30, at 7:30pm. The show is loosely based on both the hit NPR music and chat program, “Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland”, and Maureen Girard’s very successful house concert series that she hosted and presented for 10 years at her own 88 Keys Piano Studio in Langley, which featured many of her longtime friends including: Jessica Williams, David Lanz, Claudio Mendez, Karin Kajita, and many, many more noted pianists from the Seattle area and around of the world. The special guest artist will be pianist and vocalist Nelda Swiggett, an active performer on the Seattle music scene. She formed her first band in 1990 and has since performed at many of the Northwest’s leading clubs, concerts and festivals including the Earshot Jazz Festival, Bumbershoot, and a KPLU-FM Summer Jazz Cruise, among others. Nelda’s original compositions are a unique blend of her diverse musical influences. She started at the University of Washington as a classical piano performance major and left with a deep passion for jazz. She performed for several years on Seattle’s thriving late-night salsa scene, and then got up early on Sunday mornings to lay down soulful gospel riffs at her local church. Nelda’s first ever favorite jazz recording artist was the legendary jazz singer Sarah Vaughn, and she has enjoyed adding more and more of her own vocals to her arrangements over the years. Enjoy an evening of great piano music with solo performances, performances on two pianos, conversation, and fun with fine wine and small plates available in an intimate cabaret setting. Tickets are $20 and available online at www.wicaonline.org or by calling the Box Office at (360) 221-8268 or (800) 638-7631. [Submitted by Tristan Steel, WICA]

Small Farm Management Workshop for Livestock Owners

The last active duty flight of this Navy electronic warfare Grumman EA6-B Prowler jet was to The Museum of Flight on May 27, where it was officially decommissioned and taken into the Museum’s permanent collection. “The Prowler will be the first electronic warfare aircraft in the Museum’s collection,” said Curator Dan Hagedorn, “it is the missing piece that fills our story of modern military aviation. Prowlers have been used since the Vietnam War, and their capability to suppress enemy air defenses is still formidable. This plane will not only compliment our older military jets on exhibit, but speak for the current state-of-theart as well.” After 45 years in service, the Navy is in the process of retiring all of its Grumman Prowlers and replacing them with new Boeing EA-18G Growlers. The last Navy Prowler flight will be next month at VAQ-134 on Whidbey Island. Grumman EA6-B Prowler Program on Saturday, May 30. On May 30 at 2:00pm, in celebration of the Museum’s EA6-B Prowler arrival, there will be a public program with Navy officials and the Museum’s Curator, Dan Hagedorn. The program will look at the Prowler and its history with both the Navy at large, and with the Puget Sound region in particular. The program is free with admission to the Museum. The aircraft will be on free display in the Museum’s parking lot all day.

Life Tributes Virginia Weeks Longtime Oak Harbor resident Virginia “Ginny” Weeks passed away at her home Sunday, May 3 at the age of 77 after a long battle with cancer. Ginny is lovingly remembered by her Son Alan L. Weeks Jr., her Daughter Shelley Smith, son-in-law Butch Smith, Grandson Jesse Smith and her many close friends. Ginny was born in Hebbronville, TX June 21, 1937 to Fritz and Edna Yates Vollmering. She graduated from Hebbronville High School and went on to earn a Music Degree in college. Shortly thereafter she married Alan L. Weeks Sr. Ginny accomplished many things in her life. Amongst them, wife to Naval Officer Capt. Alan L. Weeks Sr., executive legal secretary, artist, teacher, “adopted” mother and cherished friend to many. Amongst her many talents, Ginny enjoyed helping others, painting, cooking, a good laugh, old movies and her dogs Chui and Kona, the “Dogzillas.” Ginny requested no funeral services but instead have her ashes cast upon the wind in a private family ceremony from atop Mount Erie.

She was born December 5, 1934 in the town of Balagtas, Bulacan, the Philippines. Her parents were Alfonso Puatu and Mercedes Santos.

In 1980, she was introduced to Robert “Bob” Peters. They were married August 5, 1983. Bob’s work with the Navy Calibration Lab took them to several foreign countries where Cris made many friends, played classical piano, gardened and was a perfect wife. After Bob retired, they settled in Oak Harbor where Cris played some golf, kept herself busy with the Church Choir and St. Elizabeth Guild. She kept her violets and her pastel colored tulips healthy. Cris also loved watching movies. She was a fan of Whoopi Goldberg in “Sister Act” and was able to recite lines from memory from the movie, “The Pianist”! Cris is survived by her sister, Fely Rivera, numerous nephews, nieces, and grandchildren, great grandchildren in Canada, the Philippines and the US.

Galleries & Art Shows Willow, Wax and Wire: New Works by Kathleen Otley Opening Reception: Friday, June 5, 5:00pm-8:00pm Show continues through June 29 Rob Schouten Gallery, Greenbank A gentleman perusing Kathleen Otley’s work at Rob Schouten Gallery put his nose up next to a piece and said, “I can smell the bees.” With her mixed-media encaustics, Otley uses layer upon layer of the sweet stuff, slathering it generously over a variety of media, which she lays on a block of wood. Otley’s smaller pieces feature vibrantly painted birds amid ancient scrolls containing sacred Buddhist writings: some stories, some letters. She acquires the monastic scrolls from the Museum of Tokyo. Otley dresses up some of these small and affordable bird pieces with nests, died willow sticks, stones, fabricated eggs and other earthly treasures. The combination gives her work not only a deep-textured quality, but speaks to the artist’s fascination with the past and what she feels is its vital importance to the present.

Walk and Help Fight Cancer This weekend, the annual Relay For Life Whidbey Island event will start at 6:00pm Friday May 29 at the North Whidbey Middle School track in Oak Harbor. This is an all island community event where scores of people come together, each for their own very personal reasons, and raise money to support the American Cancer Society programs which help people every day in their fight against cancer. The event honors survivors, recognizes those selfless caregivers and remembers those who lost their fight against cancer. This event has a long history on Whidbey Island. Those who have volunteered to put this together, both on the north and south end of the island, did so and currently do so, with passion and dedication, taking an active role in doing their part in the fight against this disease. A few years ago the American Cancer Society merged the two events into one making the Relay For Life Whidbey Island one of the larger events in Washington State. If you have not made your donation, formed or joined a team and raised money, it isn't too late. The fight never ends so the effort to continue to raise awareness, prevention, and most importantly, funding for research for a cure, plus better and faster ways to detect cancer and better more effective ways to treat cancers, will never end either. As I have heard many times said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cancer doesn't discriminate. It never sleeps. So those who Relay don't sleep. We take up the fight." In that vein, I have also heard the other side, where does the money go? I have done this for years and am I really making a difference? To that end I will say, yes you are. Don't stop fighting. Yes, I recognize there are other causes, other focuses and people can get, well, tired. But the bottom line that never changes is this, cancer is still here. In many forms, affecting anyone. There isn't one person I have ever met who hasn't been directly or indirectly touched by this disease. While there have been huge strides in treatments and survivorship there is still a long way to go. So I am going to ask the direct question â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how have you helped in this fight? If you hesitate then I am going to ask you to continue to read on. Shared By Lauren Beckett, Community Manager, Relay For Life in Whatcom County

To everyone who participated in our recent Canned Food Drive. Because of you, we were able to make another donation to North Whidbey Help House. 7HIDBEYÂ´S ,ARGEST 3ELECTION OF &INE !RT 3UPPLIES

A patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother contacted me in December about Relay For Life, and her interest in being involved due to her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent diagnosis. Her 19 year old daughter was diagnosed with a Chordoma. Chordoma is an extremely rare case of cancer that occurs in the bones of the skull and spine. In February, I got a phone call that her daughter would be traveling to Seattle for proton beam therapy starting in March. She would be receiving treatment Monday through Friday for a long period of time, and the treatment was expected to be extremely taxing on the patient. I discussed with her about our Hotel Partner Program and directed her to contact our toll-free number, 1-800-227-2345, and her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social worker to verify treatment dates. The lodging request was placed and the patient service center was able to fill 7 weeks of lodging for this patient and her family at a hotel right next door to her treatment center. Without the Hotel Partner Program this family would have had to pay for 49 nights of lodging amounting to about $6,400 in lodging expenses.

The patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was so moved by the services offered she talked to her employer about sponsorship opportunities for a local Relay For Life event. Her employer, equally moved, decided to sponsor the Whatcom Relay For Life at a $2,500 Gold level sponsorship. Her employer has also created a Relay team for the Whatcom Relay. The patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother is also part of a Whatcom County church group, and her church was so touched by the story that 2 new teams were created for the North Whatcom Relay For Life. The money these teams fund raise and this sponsorship will help provide lodging for other patients who are in need and have to receive treatment like this 19 year old patient. From the Relay For Life website: How American Cancer Society Research Funding Works Our research goal is simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; find answers that help save lives. Our strategy for funding research is just as straightforward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fund the best science. We have spent more than $4 billion since 1946 doing just that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; making us the largest private, nonprofit fund raiser of cancer research in the United States. This investment has enabled our researchers and scientists throughout the country to make major cancer discoveries. While the world has made significant strides in the fight against cancer, we know the war is far from over. This is why we remain dedicated to conducting and funding vital cancer research. We understand, though, that the cancer research landscape is sometimes confusing and people have a lot of questions about how our funding process works. We want to do everything we can to help you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donors, volunteers, patients, scientists, and the interested public â&#x20AC;&#x201C; understand how we work, because we can't work without you. For answers to some of the most commonly asked questions, visit the Relay For Life website: www.cancer.org. Relay will accept hair donations May 30, 8-10am. Additionally, the American Cancer Society Cancer Resource Centers and Wig Program are in need of donations to help cancer patients in Washington State. They are in need of 1,300 wigs this year to keep up with our current demand. The American Cancer Society is not able to accept hair donations; however, there are two organizations who we refer people to who can accept that type of donation. Wigs for Kids: www.wigsforkids.org and Pantene Beautiful Lengths: www.pantene.com These are just a few examples of how Relay For Life touches the lives of people in their fight against cancer. It is only with fund raising and your dedication that will help bring us all closer to finishing this fight. To quote the Relay for Life site: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With your help, we aren't just fighting one type of cancer we're fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. Each person who shares the Relay For Life experience can take pride in knowing that they are working to create a world where this disease will no longer threaten our loved ones or rob anyone of another birthday.â&#x20AC;?

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

Salad: A toss up of anything!

vated here ever since.

Beautiful weather, blue skies, and sunshine are hopefully here to stay for a while! Summer is just around the corner and I find myself making many salads during this season. Maybe it’s because salad is refreshing and cool so I associate it most with warm weather. There are endless options to all different kinds of salads. Literally endless. You can be really adventurous when making your own as well, not to mention it’s one of the easiest things to make. There’s no worrying about cooking time, if it’s going to boil over or that you can’t take your eyes off it for fear of it burning. There is just chopping and slicing and maybe some peeling. And what better way to enjoy Mother Nature’s bounty than in her all natural, unaltered, gloriously delicious state?

I often wonder how humans came to decide what foliage and greenery was edible as opposed to those which very well could have poisoned, sickened or even killed them. I think it’s a plausible theory that our ancestors watched and took note of the greens the animals ate and decided since some caused them no ill effect, it was unlikely to be harmful to them too. Our digestive systems do differ so I am not sure about that.

The first depiction and mention of ‘salad’ purportedly dates back to approximately 4500 BC on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs. Lettuce was representative of the fertility god ‘Min’ and this was often expressed in drawings as Min standing before tables laden with a particular type of this green– the Egyptian Long Leaf lettuce. It became the hallmark of nobility in both the Roman and Greek civilizations and was initially in Rome, served at the very end of a meal. This changed under the Emperor Dominican’s reign when it began to be served as an appetizer instead. It’s believed that Christopher Columbus introduced lettuce to North America and it has been culti-

There are different types of lettuce and each one has its own unique flavor and ‘bite’. For example, some are extra crispy, others are softer and almost wilted in nature. There are ways in which lettuce can be kept in order to prolong the length of time in which it can be consumed and still taste lovely. Iceberg lettuce (which was developed here in the United States and given the name as it had to be packed with ice to be transported around the country in warmer weather) is best stored, unwashed in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. This can allow it to retain its crispness for up to two weeks. The more firm and densely packed the leaves are, the better quality lettuce it is. Butter head Boston lettuce is of the more ‘supple’ variety in that its leaves are soft and more pliable as opposed to romaine or iceberg. The leaves can be prone to bruising however and it does not keep as long as iceberg lettuce, even in the refrigerator. The butter head Bibb variation is sweeter than Boston, only it’s

smaller, and I find that both are quite expensive in the grocery store. Now leaf lettuces are more vulnerable in terms of wilting. They aren’t compacted into a ‘head’ and instead grow from a stalk. It’s extremely tender and in order to keep it from drooping fast, it’s recommended, when using it in salad, to hold off on the dressing until just before you serve or eat it. Green leaf, red leaf, oak leaf; all of these kinds are equally tasty with slight flavor differentiations. Oak leaf tends to have a bit of a ‘zing’ or spice to it whereas red, like green leaf lettuce, is rather mild (and more pleasant in my opinion). Romaine lettuce is the ultimate flavor combination, I think. Its leaves tend to be a little bitter, and the inner crunchy stalk is exceptionally sweet, which is the perfect pairing for my palate. As I said before, there are steps you can take to keep your lettuce as fresh as possible, for as long as possible. High humidity is said to keep your greenery fresh and crisp for longer, so my research online suggests lettuce be wrapped in a damp paper towel, placed in a plastic or preferably airtight bag and refrigerated. Now, while lettuce generally makes up the basis of a salad, anything can be added to it. Chicken, fish, shrimp, crab, steak, lobster, calamari, lamb, oysters, eggs etc. Fruits too, make a delightful addition to any leafy green. The first time I tried fruit in an otherwise ‘savory’ salad, I was skeptical. The two did not go together in my mind and they couldn’t possible create the beautiful flavor union they actually do. My introduction to fruit in a salad (not to be confused with ‘fruit salad’) was in my friend’s chicken and walnut one. It was absolutely incredible. There are so many flavors mingling and coexisting in this particular leafy meal and they all work in unison and independently at the same time. It’s difficult to explain just how enchantingly good this salad is, but don’t worry, I will include the recipe and you can experience it for yourself! Salads can be made of anything really, not just lettuce, and all of them are invariably served chilled. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary terms a salad in one of its definitions as “a usually incongruous mixture.” This absolutely hits the nail on the head with what a salad is. We often throw

together little bits of randomly cut up food and even though the types of food that are ‘thrown together’ might seem totally incompatible, they usually end up working in absolutely satisfying, flavorful harmony. My mother actually makes a rice salad in which she adds (besides the rice), peaches, condensed milk, mayonnaise, tomatoes, onions and other vegetables, and she swears blind that it’s the best thing ever. I am still working up the courage to try that one. I mean, it’s not as though the condensed milk is an inconspicuous addition, which is sort of hiding out behind another ingredient, surreptitiously waiting for you to question, “what is this I’m tasting?” It would seem to me that it will be a smack you in the mouth, literally. Who knows? I’m going to try it anyway. I hope you all enjoy many salads this summer and please share them with me! You can send your questions, comments and information to letsdish@whidbeyweekly.com. As always I love to hear from you so Let’s Dish! Walnut Chicken Salad 2 to 3 cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded Small bunch of grapes (about 20 or so) each cut into small rounds 1 apple peeled and cubed into tiny cubes 3 or 4 celery stalks chopped Mayo (as much or little as you like) 3 cups lettuce (any kind) chopped or shredded (optional) Cumin (optional) 2/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional) Mix all of the ingredients (except the lettuce) together.

Pitch Perfect 2: Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thin on plot and many of its jokes are infantile at best, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a movie about competitive a cappella singers, not "Citizen Kane." The girl-power vibe, killer soundtrack and increased presence of scene-stealing Rebel Wilson make it a pretty good time at the movies. ď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ť (PG-13 â&#x20AC;˘ 1 hr. 54 min.)

This movie might have some things going for itâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;namely that it, much like its predecessor, was produced by Steven Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it can never match the glory of what came before. ď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ť (PG-13 â&#x20AC;˘ 1 hr. 33 min.)

Now, some 30-plus years later, Miller reboots his franchise, with a little help from stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, and proves himself to still be the right man to deliver a crazy, frenetic, ass-kicker of a "Mad Max" movie. ď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ťď&#x201A;Ť (R â&#x20AC;˘ 2 hrs.)

Chicken Little & the Astrologer By Wesley Hallock

In Steven Spielberg’s 1989 movie, Always, Richard Dreyfuss played the part of Pete, a daredevil pilot and aerial forest-fire fighter who routinely risked death dropping flame retardant from his vintage B-29. After one particularly harrowing mission, Pete finds himself walking alone in the still-smoking remains of a burned over forest, where he comes upon something odd. There, on a tiny oasis of white flowers and green grass, leaned against a leafy green aspen, stands a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in white slacks and white sweater. “Hello, Pete,” the woman says sweetly, and a tad too patiently and knowingly, as one might surprise a mischievous child caught once-again in the act of misbehaving. “That was quite a show back there.” “Yes, ma’am,” Pete smiles proudly.” Between them is an oversized white hassock, and the woman beckons, “Take a seat.” Pete sits and the woman ties a barber cloth around Pete’s neck and proceeds to give Pete a trim, snipping with scissors and chatting in friendly barber fashion. But she is no ordinary barber. “Listen,” Pete suddenly recalls his harrowing flight, “how did I get out of that?” Snip, snip. “You didn’t get out, Pete.” Snip, snip. “I didn’t?” “Um-mm.” Snip, snip. “My plane did blow up?” “Real fireball.” Snip. Snip, snip. “And now I’m sitting in the woods getting my hair cut . . . either I’m dead, or I’m crazy.” The woman leans in and gently whispers, “You’re not crazy, Pete.” So began Pete’s gentle introduction into the after-life. In casting an actor to play the woman’s part—wise, compassionate and all-knowing symbol of eternity–Spielberg and company wrestled with the question, who could convincingly be God? Who could be the angel of heaven? What mortal person could play such a role? Only one person, Spielberg concluded. He called her, and for reasons having nothing to do with the good of herself, she came out of retirement to play the role. The other actors loved her. “She was a dream,” said Dreyfuss. “She was the dream that you remember when you wake up smiling.” Her name was Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn as one of the 1950s most popular screen stars was a rarity in a number of ways, one of which was that Audrey was something men and women agreed on—they loved her. Women wanted to be like her. Men saw her as the ideal woman. Audrey managed somehow to be simultaneously sexy, wholesome and charming, filled to over-flowing with grace and beauty–even to the point, as we saw, of being a convincing angel in heaven. How did she do it? Grace, charm and beauty—the three words that best describe Audrey Hepburn—are not an act Audrey pulled off as needed. They are simply what she was. In Audrey’s own estimate, she never really became an actress. She simply was born with something that appealed at that particular time. She fell into movie making by chance, without training, simple because the directors saw her and wanted her. Audrey’s screen test was just the camera rolling as she sat and talked with a director. Good directors, good supporting actors, freedom to be herself was her success.

All the descriptions of Audrey as being a walking, talking made-in-heaven dream figure happen also to describe the combined effect of the planets Venus and Neptune. Working together, Venus and Neptune produce mesmerizing auras of perfection, mirage-like impressions of all that is good and pure. Venus and Neptune in Audrey’s birth chart not only combine, they combine in the most harmonious of ways, the 120° trine. But there is more. Her chart’s midheaven point is in trine with both Venus and Neptune to complete a three-way grand trine. This is the astrological equal of three cherries on slot machine—jackpot, and the pay-off is big. Since the midheaven describes how people view us from afar, we now understand the impact Audrey had on people. It was the pay-off of her VenusNeptune-midheaven grand trine. But what was it like to be Audrey?

Audrey Hepburn was born in Belgium on May 4, 1929, to a baroness mother and a banker-financier father. Audrey’s father was rarely home, and when he was, he and Audrey’s mother fought. Audrey was kept away from the fighting as much as possible by being sent away to London to boarding school. Eventually her father abandoned the family altogether. In a curious way, the abandonment—the single biggest scar on Audrey’s psyche— followed Audrey onto the screen and increased her appeal. It did so because in Audrey’s chart Venus happens to represent her father, meaning the abandonment was thus part of the impression delivered by her Venus-Neptune-midheaven grand trine. Film viewers picked up on a deep and unfulfilled emptiness within Audrey, a longing to be cuddled, the result of her father’s abandonment of her, and of her Victorian mother who loved Audrey but was not able to show it. All who beheld her could feel the emptiness and longed to provide the love Audrey never knew. Upon the outbreak of the war, Audrey’s mother took her to neutral Holland for safety. The plan failed when Germany invaded Holland in 1940. This, in an odd way, activated another point in Audrey’s astrology. The 12th house describes things done in secrecy. Audrey’s 12th holds Saturn as the ruler of her physical body. She physically carried secret messages for the underground resistance against the Nazis, coming and going as a child in ways not possible for adults under Nazi scrutiny. Memory of her extreme privation in the war years—at times the only food had been tulip bulbs and boiled grass—and her enormous love for humanity led Audrey to sacrifice her privacy the last years of her life to become Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. She toured Somalia, Ethiopia and Bangladesh, the worst places on Earth for hunger. In so doing, Audrey’s humanitarian side--Aquarius rising—found full expression. In the greatest of ironies, she was living true to the one point she had emphasized in her Always role as divine mentor to the dead pilot, Pete: “Anything you do for yourself is a waste of spirit.” Selfless and compassionate right to her death from cancer in 1993, Audrey’s life and spirit were never wasted. Next week: The planets and everybody’s TV dad, Bill Cosby.
