Video Vault

By Deb Morgan

Breakfast, Anyone?

Welcome to the Video Vault. I will be reviewing and sharing my take on video's both classic and somewhat recent releases.

These will be movies we've enjoyed or possibly didn't enjoy but created a following, here, in the Whidbey Weekly.

What a better way than to begin with breakfast. 30 years ago, five teens walked into detention. Sounds like the opening for a great punch line, doesn’t it? But the joke was on the “grown ups!� When we talk about lasting relevance in the film industry my thought was there are few examples as shining as The Breakfast Club. I first reflected on how we all grew up listening to adults in authority telling us things were so different “back when we were your age.� And always, the differences were and, dare I say, still are, placed directly upon our misguided youth.

Like so many generations before, we swore we’d change the world and I believe we tried awfully hard to. We showed the world how to break through obstacles and get along, no matter our differences. We could dance with abandon alongside our “enemies.� We showed the Mr. Vernon's of the world they were so very wrong about the future of mankind. That scene in the library, while slightly exaggerated with the door glass breaking etc., was the start of these kids, all very different, finding their common ground. Dancing has a way of breaking down barriers for some. When we get lost in music many of us let down our proverbial walls, just a little.

That segued into them all sitting down to dig a little bit deeper into who was around them. We proved that open communication (and maybe a little bit of weed from a nerd’s underpants for inhibition) can solve almost any problem. The actors portrayed their roles with skill and should I say an element of maturity? There are times where we need to show our vulnerability to create new lines of communication. Like Allison, we need to dump our bag out for the world to see.

We need to create a chance for someone to learn more about us. In the meantime, if we get lucky, we also learn about others.

Not only did this scene show that everyone has a 'story' so one can't judge by appearance, they shared how youth can find their own tools to support one another. Even if it means crossing clichĂŠ imaginary boundaries.

Every time I have seen this movie I am left believing we can teach our children some of these same lessons. After all, they must learn to own those scary parts of themselves and embrace them. With courage and a bit of compassion for ourselves as well as others, this world could possibly become a better place. A place where people don’t hate or judge others who don’t fit as snugly in their landscape of the world. An atmosphere where differences are celebrated and embraced, and diversity is valued.

The truth is our kids aren’t very different from us when we were their age. They are still trying to change the world. They still struggle with the misconceptions the grown ups have of them and they fail. A lot. But the successes are spectacular!

The Breakfast Club opened doors that had been locked and guarded by our parents for decades. We learned to laugh at ourselves while we sat in a movie theater, protected by the anonymity of the darkness. Suddenly it was okay to admit we were all just a little messed up in the head.

Like Brian said in the final essay to Mr. Vernon, we are all a little bit of each other.

Brains, princesses, criminals, athletes, and we can all admit we can be basket cases from time to time.

Princesses are still “So popular that the entire school would shut down� if they didn’t show up.

Jocks are still doing pranks to be cool and are pretty good at hiding how bizarre they actually are.

Basket cases still eat weird sandwiches for the sugar rush. My son’s favorite was peanut butter sandwich with raisins, honey, brown sugar, and frosted flakes. Yes, my son was a bit of a basket case. But he was my basket case.

The “criminals� are still wildly misunderstood kids who force us to look at the ugly and also not so ugly truths about ourselves, whether we want to or not.

And chicks still can’t hold their smoke‌ That line by Anthony Michael Hall is still as funny to me today as it was back when the movie came out in 1985.

Using the movie as a reference, the world is still an imperfect place, screws fall out all the time. It is our job to teach our kids how to pick them up and do something with them without squashing their creativity. A few folding chairs might get flung down the hallway, but eventually, the door leading out will stay open. And when they are grown, they will finally be allowed to leave that detention called childhood and make their way with the skills learned in the “library� of their own.

With kids graduating at this time of the year and this year marking the 30th anniversary of the movie's release, I wanted to revisit the messages found in this film. To you kids reading this story, there will be those people who will always try to decide for you what and who you are. Dance to your own beat, create your alliances carefully. Surround yourselves with those you want to be like.

Cut your own path. Make a ruckus! Follow your dreams and don’t conform so strictly to what people expect of you that you lose who you are. And for the love of all that is sacred and pure, don’t grow up so much that your heart dies. Always acknowledge the kid inside you. Because the kid inside you is helping mold the adult you will be one day. And to you adults, try to remember the challenges we faced, still the same “labeled� kids are walking the halls so be patient with our youth and offer guidance when you can. Maybe sit down with a bowl of popcorn or a pizza with some friends and enjoy a little “Breakfast.�

Can We Talk?

With apologies to Joan Rivers for borrowing her phrase above without permission, may we have a moment?

I just got off the phone with Thomas Nelson Hollingsworth, a 1965 graduate of Oil City Senior High School. Tom is presently a retired anesthesiologist. The discussion which took place is rebroadcast here, without his permission, knowledge, or verification. “Hey, Ace, that Chambers Bay golf course is beautiful. The folks in Oregon must be really proud they are finally on national television.

Have you ever seen Mt. Hood look more beautiful?� “Holly, you must be getting a secondary high from some of those old sedatives you administered. That beautiful mountain is Mt. Rainier.

The beautiful golf course is outside Tacoma.� “No way! Where in the hell did you learn geography, Ace?� “From Mom and Dad, who gave me a Rand McNally road map on my sixth birthday so I could sit in the back seat of their Chrysler and tell them where to go.� “Well, maybe I had too many Ying-Lings on the porch this morning while looking at the party boats on Lake Lanier. I'll have to Google this Chambers Bay thing.�

I have no recollection of taking geography classes beyond the 6th grade. Seems like geography was part of the core principles taught in elementary school. You may recall the core principles – recess, lunch, another recess, and the final bell.

I learned most of my geography getting lost.

Trying to find an exit from a roundabout near the Newark airport, I discovered most of eastern Pennsylvania. Hitchhiking from Kansas City to New Orleans during spring break, I discovered why not to move to Arkansas. Come to think of it, whatever it may be, how much did I learn in elementary school?

I learned how to read at home with Mom. I learned how to spell at home with Mom. I learned how to do math by trying to figure out how to stretch a two dollar weekly allowance into after school hamburgers, cherry cokes, and a new Hardy Boys book on Saturday morning.

How do we learn anything?

Schools of Thought Seems like it helps to be interested in the subject matter.

If Oil City Senior High had offered B Westerns as a class instead of the required P.O.D. (Problems of Democracy—no kidding!), I would have most certainly stared at the wall instead of out the window.

If William Jewell College had offered a class on Pinball Machine Repair instead of required chapel, I might have graduated with my class.

Instead, having received negative chapel points for not attending these southern Baptist gatherings of force, I was able to graduate in the summer after working the college switchboard for two bonus units.

Those were the days. I loved wearing the headset while working those PBX switchboards with all the long cords, and a wall filled with holes to plug. “William Jewell College, Campus of Achievement, 160 acres of Christian atmosphere, may I help you?�

Deola Garrett, a name I shall never forget, was our college Registrar. It was Deola's job to hold my diploma until I achieved the fifty percentile score on my GRE's. Her office called our fraternity house to advise me to come up to the administrative office, high atop The Hill, as we students affectionately called our campus. “Jim, we got your score back from your last graduate record exam in political science. There must be some sort of mistake. Your score was only in the 7th percentile, among the lowest scores in the country.�

“How about we provisionally grant you your diploma for next week's ceremony, and you and Dr. Adams figure out this GRE score when he returns next month from the Soviet Union?�

Upon seeing me for the first time in months, Dr. Adams almost had the same look my Dad had when he saw me graduate from boot camp at Parris Island, only without the tears. Excuse me if you have heard this before, but, as I write this column on Father's Day, 2015, I am reminded of this special moment, when Dad appeared behind the barracks, after our ceremony, tears streaming down his cheeks onto his Brooks Brothers or Hickey-Freeman suit-coat.

“Well, I am not sure which would be worse. If I do not show up for Marine Corps boot camp, I will be considered a deserter, AWOL, and possibly shot. If I do not get my college diploma, my Dad and sister will have wasted their trip out here next week to see me graduate. While Dad may not shoot me, there may be some bruising.�

No mention was ever made of my graduation deficiency. No mention was ever made of my looking more like a drill instructor than a wanna be George Harrison. No mention was made of anything unmentionable. Thank you, Dr. Will Adams.

“According to your faculty adviser, Dr. Adams, you are required to achieve a score of 50% to receive your diploma at next week's summer graduation ceremony. The next time the test is offered will be six months from now. How would you like to handle this?�

When Dr. Adams finally recognized me walking on campus with my high-and-tight Marine Corps boot camp haircut, he smiled wider than a hippo in heat.

The art galleries provide more than 50 local artists with all or part of their annual income.

Letters to the Editor Editor, Patience. Patience is a good thing. It keeps one from reacting immediately to events or lose one’s temper. There can also be a time when one’s patience runs thin or runs out.

Our patience with the Port of Coupeville is currently running low like that.

For more than three years almost all tenants at Greenbank Farm have been without a lease! In this period we have made numerous attempts to renew our leases only to be put-off for one reason or another.

Last year the Port solicited requests for proposals to manage the Greenbank Farm. Proposals were received from the current Greenbank Farm Management Group and from Washington State University College of Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences.

WSU’s proposal was rejected on the grounds that by its own admission “WSU is unable to enter into a contractual agreement to provide facility management; which might include general grounds upkeep/maintenance, management of vendors or CSA leases, collection of lease or commercial (sales) revenue, materially contributing in campaigns to raise money for the property, processing utilities payments, and assuming liability for the facility beyond our specific responsibilities related to educational offerings, demonstrations, and field research.”

Since then the Port and the Management Group have been negotiating terms for a new contract. At the Port Meeting in April 2015 the Commissioners agreed to sign an agreement with the Management Group. This still hasn’t happened.

At last Wednesday’s Port Meeting it was revealed that the Port is still talking with WSU about becoming a tenant at the Farm. Island County Commissioner Helen Price-Johnson is also working to give WSU this presence at the Greenbank Farm. Commissioner Johnson’s recent statement to the press about the Farm being “a publicly owned asset, treasured by our community, focused on local food and fun events” is simply ignorant, incomplete and condescending.

WSU intends to use the Greenbank Farm for office space and classroom space and would get that space by evicting all current tenants, including the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, Raven Rocks Gallery, Artworks Gallery, Rob Schouten Gallery, Greenbank Cheese and Whidbey Pies.

WSU’s plans would be in violation of the Master Site Plan that was developed and adopted by the Port in 2009.

Bringing higher education to the island is a noble goal which we whole heartedly support.

What we don’t support is displacing hardworking businesses and turning one of the county’s gems into an office park. There is lots of vacant office space on Whidbey that would suit WSU just fine.

As tenants at the Greenbank Farm we have all worked hard together to make the Farm the jewel attraction that it is for both visitors and residents, the Port of Coupeville and Island County. Each of our businesses generates a considerable amount of revenue and sales tax, largely from off island, which gets spent in the local economy. We draw people from far and

As tenants we have stuck it out together through the worst economic recession in decades, through the Port’s foot-dragging on giving us new leases and through the uncertainties of a changing management structure.

We all want to stay. We all love Greenbank Farm.

On Wednesday, July 8 there is a Port of Coupeville meeting at 10:00am at Greenbank Farm.

I would like to urge all who care about the Farm and the community of businesses here to come out and voice your support for what we have accomplished. It is absolutely imperative that the Port Commissioners and Port Executive Director, as well as County Commissioner Price-Johnson hear a resounding NO from you, the community, about WSU’s efforts to destroy one of our most valuable community assets.

Please come and support us! And spread the word!

Editor, “A state mostly run by liberal Democrats for years continues to dodge the tough work required for the economy to grow greener. “ Danny Westneat Seattle Times 5/12/15.

In his opinion piece Mr. Westneat does us a service reminding us that the arctic is where we get most of our oil here on the west coast. However, his insinuation of hypocrisy by Democratic leaders and the protestors of Shell’s Polar Explorer (Destroyer) are undeserved. The protestors courageously challenged this outrage in human powered craft.

Granted our leaders have waited a long time before championing a transition to a sustainable economy based on renewables but the fault lies with public indifference and Republican resistance. Governor Inslee has courageously led a battle for climate justice. He wrote a book about it and in March 2014 signed The Pacific Coast Action Plan with Oregon, California and BC. We agree with Mr Westneat that, “Taxes on carbon or capand-trade systems are believed to be the best hopes to drive major changes in our energy use, and to limit greenhouse emissions.” A cap and trade system, like the one that helped California lift itself out of its fiscal abyss, was before the legislature this session. It simply could not get Republican votes. It is sad that what used to be the party of common sense and conservative values has become the antiscience, willing to risk everything to protect the rich and powerful party. If reason was in command, a carbon fee would be coming from the Republican side of the aisle. This is a languishing economic boon. Germany, British Columbia and numerous studies confirm this. Analysis favors a fossil fuel free economy.

That’s why unelected conservatives and the business community support carbon pricing.

And why initiative I-732 is so important. Find out more at CarbonWA.org. and please sign the petition. You’ll be glad you did.

Gary Piazzon, Coupeville

Editor, There is a petition out to get I-735 on the ballot in 2016. This petition is for the new “Get big money out of our elections” initiative. I urge all Washington registered voters to sign on to this new initiative effort. Polls show consistently that a super majority of people all over the country, of all political persuasions, want to get back the control of how much money goes into our elections. Please sign the petition for I-735 when you see it. Your signature will help get it on the ballot and if it is approved at the polls, Washington State will be the 17th state to say the people want to take back control of our elections. Please sign

Summer Lunch Program Oak Harbor Schools will provide lunches at no cost to children ages 5 thru 18 years of age, Monday thru Friday, as part of a summer partnership program with NASWI and the Boys & Girls Club. Lunch service will take place at the recreation centers at three Navy housing sites: Maylor’s Point, Crescent Harbor and Saratoga Heights, as well as the Boys & Girls Club at the Roller Barn. The program will run from June 22-Aug 28. No lunches will be served July 6-10 for the holiday break. This important service is funded by the USDA to help meet the needs of children in our community.

Coupeville Lions Club Annual Garage Sale Once again, at precisely 9:00am on a nice summer Saturday, an air horn will signal the start of the “Biggest and Best Garage Sale In Our Known World”! Throngs of waiting shoppers will race for those special “treasurers” they’ve spotted during the prior day’s preview.

June 25 and 26, 2015, hundreds of current and former EA-6B Prowler crewmembers, will gather at NAS Whidbey Island to commemorate the 45-year history of the Navy’s first electronic attack aircraft and pay homage to former Prowler aviators and maintainers who perished in defense of their nation.

On June 27, NAS Whidbey Island will hold an open house for the general public from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

During the open house celebration the last Navy Prowler will depart NAS Whidbey Island for the final time and join several U.S. Marine Corps EA-6B Prowlers for a final formation flyover, marking the end of the Prowler era in Navy aviation.

During that flyover, retired U.S. Navy Capt.

Fred Wilmot, the pilot who delivered the first EA-6B to the air station in January 1971, will be among the crewmembers participating in the final flyover. Wilmot will fly in the backseat of one of the participating jets as part of the public open house and Prowler Sunset ceremony.

The Navy has replaced the Prowler with the new EA-18G Growler. NAS Whidbey Island has been and is the Navy’s home base for its electronic attack community including a forward deployed Growler squadron in Japan. As with the Growler, all Prowler squadrons with exception of four Marine Corps EA-6B squadrons, were based at NAS Whidbey Island. The Navy supports all Department of Defense airborne electronic attack with the EA-18G aircraft.

The public open house is an opportunity for the public to learn about past, current, and future operations at the Navy’s only air station in the Pacific Northwest and to see static displays of all its assigned aircraft.

Aircraft displays include the EA-18G Growler, EA-6B Prowler, P-3C Orion, MH-60 Knighthawk helicopter, the new C-40 Clipper and a visiting P-8A Poseidon, which will soon replace the P-3C’s at NAS Whidbey.

There will also be other visual displays, guided bus tours, a Search and Rescue and K-9 Working Dog demonstrations, bouncy house for children and a climbing wall for those wishing to test their climbing acumen. Aviation memorabilia will also be available for purchase as well as a variety of food and beverages.

shortwave radios at remote locations to practice their emergency communications capabilities during an annual field radio event June 27-28.

Whidbey “radio hams”, as they are called, will pitch tents, set up radio gear, hook up gasoline powered electrical generators and hoist wire transmitting antennas in nearby trees at Rhododendron Park Campground near Coupeville to prepare for the annual event known as Field Day, according to Island County Amateur Radio Club President Cliff Allen.

Whidbey’s only radio club also plans to allow any interested visitors an opportunity to talk across the nation on one of the radios to demonstrate to the public how shortwave radio communication works.

Beginning at 11:00am on Saturday morning, June 27, Whidbey operators, ranging from high school students to retired men and women, will take turns manning the club radios around the clock at the emergency powered radio site, located at 20265 State Route 20, Coupeville. The radio buffs will use voice, morse code and even satellites to trade information reports with other operators at parks, shopping centers, schools, hilltops and backyards across the nation.

“We hope the public will stop by to see for themselves what this fascinating hobby offers to people and communities,” Allen said. “The communications links that ham radio people can quickly create have saved many lives after natural disasters in the past several months when other systems failed or were overloaded.”

Allen, an Oak Harbor resident who has been a federally licensed ham radio operator for the past six years, said the public is invited to visit the radio camp site throughout the day on Saturday. Radio activities will continue throughout the night and end at 11:00am on Sunday.

The Whidbey radio club broadcasted from the same park last year and successfully contacted almost 400 other radio operators around the nation as a means to test its communications capabilities during civil disaster conditions.

The club also actively supports local communities and government agencies with communications support during special events such as parades and sports events, Allen said.

There are over 730,000 amateur radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world, according to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the hams’ national fraternal organization in the U.S. Through the ARRL, ham volunteers provide free emergency communications for hundreds of state and local emergency response agencies nationwide.

Goosefoot and Port of South Whidbey Investigating Feasibility of Full-Service Commercial Kitchen on South End Goosefoot and the Port of South Whidbey are teaming up to see if there is a big enough market for a full-service commercial kitchen on the south end. They are currently distributing a commercial kitchen survey at http://www. whidbeykitchen.com.

By full-service, they mean a shared commercial kitchen that has cold and dry storage, all of the commercial equipment that users need, and on-site management and scheduling.

This kitchen will be geared towards culinary entrepreneurs of all stripes: those wishing to produce and sell products, teach classes, cater meals, or do something with a bumper crop of produce. Users would also be able to rent storage for their ingredients and finished product.

Rental fees would be kept as low as possible. Although located on the south end, the kitchen would be available for anyone to rent.

Existing commercial kitchens on Whidbey Island do not offer all of these amenities and their low use most likely reflects this. “The new commercial kitchen at the Island County Fairgrounds is a great start,” according to Goosefoot Executive Director Sandy Whiting.

“If we find that a high demand exists—one that helps new local businesses develop—then we will begin looking for the necessary funding to make this happen.”

According to Angi Mozer, Executive Director, Port of South Whidbey, “This is such a natural collaboration since both the Port and Goosefoot have a shared mission of promoting local economic development.”

The Changing Face of Dementia Care Inspires Whidbey General Hospital Nurse

Student-Designed Logo for Student Entrepreneur Challenge

Healthcare workers, like everyone else, have “aha!” moments.

This recently happened to Whidbey General’s Clinical Nurse Specialist, Gaila Palo, when she attended the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) 2015 Annual Conference in Coronado, Calif. this past March. It was there that Palo had an epiphany.

“Have you ever gone to a conference or seminar and gotten so excited about something you learned, you’ve just got to implement it and share it with all your peers?” Palo asked.

“That’s what happened to me when I got a new understanding of dementia and how to care for patients who have it.”

At the conference, which took for its theme, “The Essence of Transformational Healthcare,” Palo saw a presentation on the changing face of dementia care.

“Previously, I thought patients with dementia were confused and prone to angry outbursts, and my sole goal in caring for them was keeping them safe and hoping they didn’t explode on me,” Palo said. “Little did I know there were specific techniques that not only decrease angry outbursts, but actually promote trust and improve quality of life.”

This knowledge inspired her to start a movement to fundamentally change how patients with dementia are cared for in our hospital, clinics, and community. Palo has developed an educational program that focuses on the lived experience of dementia and how family, friends and healthcare workers can help to improve that experience for the patient.

The program has been rolled out with good success on the inpatient units at Whidbey General Hospital and Clinics, and will be the topic of several Nursing Grand Rounds offered in June. It is also being offered at several care facilities and libraries in the community in July.

“We’re even using the program to conduct a case-comparison study to see if improved behavior management reduces fall rates and the need for medication interventions,” Palo added.

Palo is keen to offer training opportunities and new ways to apply this new knowledge to practice.

“We can make the difference in whether these patients experience crisis or connection,” Palo said. “Let’s work together to improve the quality of life for those in our community struggling with this condition.”

This November, the Economic Development Foundation will host the first annual Student Entrepreneur Challenge. Over the past month, Oak Harbor High School graphics students met with the staff of the Foundation and drafted logo proposals that convey the spirit of the Entrepreneur Challenge while attracting the attention of potential participants.

The Entrepreneur Challenge is a competition designed to give students real-world business experience by writing a business plan, recruiting investors, and selling a product or service for one week. Teams of five students will choose their product or service based on their skills or what they like to do. The team with the highest profit at the end of the competition will receive an in-school scholarship that can be applied to competition fees, school equipment, or other academic pursuits. The profit from each team’s business will serve as a fundraiser for that team’s school club of choice.

“Working with the students, instead of hiring a professional graphics designer, was another way of following our mission to encourage entrepreneurship in the students,” said challenge organizer and executive assistant Sami Postma. “Ms. Jansen contacted us with the desire to have her students work with a real business partner. She wanted them to see what they’re learning is something they could apply to the real world, and not just another homework assignment.”

“What I wanted them [the students] to learn is to reduce complex ideas into something simple which will help them in all kinds of area of their lives,” said Jana Jansen, OHHS graphics instructor. “Connecting the students with this organization was a goal for this project as well as giving them the information that they can use the EDC’s free services to build their own business one day.”

The Foundation reviewed all of the students’ submissions and, after hours of grading and deliberation, chose a winner and a runner up.

Senior Robert Gray’s design will represent the Challenge on all posters, t-shirts, websites, and other materials. Shane Hunt, junior, is runner-up.

Island County Economic Development Council - The EDC’s mission is to foster economic balance that preserves the county’s rural character while providing business, employment, and quality of life opportunities for its residents. More information is available by visiting www.iscoedc.com or calling (360) 678-6889.

Entourage: This movie, which has been in the making for half a decade, has no reason to exist. But if it had a reason to exist, that reason would surely be the chance to see Jeremy Piven reprise his role as Ari Gold. And then we can all mourn the Ari Gold spinoff that almost was.  (R • 1 hr. 45 min.)

Far From the Madding Crowd: Thomas Hardy gets the adaptation his classic novel so richly deserves, with his incomparable heroine, Bathsheba Everdene, embodied with great skill and spirit by the equally incomparable Carey Mulligan.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 59 min.)

moviegoing public, and the "Mad Max" saga was born. 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 toJ deliver a crazy, frenetic, ass-kicker of a "Mad C Max" movie.  (R • 2 hrs.)

Max: This movie seems to be about a demilitarized bomb-sniffing dog and the boy who loves him, but I can’t be sure because I can’t make it all the way through even the teaser trailer without crying. It is true that I am an animal-movie ninny, but I blame that on emotional scars inflicted by a childhood viewing of "Where the Red Fern Grows."  (PG • 1 hr. 51 min.)

Pitch Perfect 2: Sure, it’s thin on plot and many of its jokes are infantile at best, but it’s a movie about competitive a cappella singers, not "Citizen Kane." The girl-power vibe, killer soundtrack and increased presence of the scene-stealing Rebel Wilson make it a pretty good time at the movies.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 54 min.)

San Andreas: I love a cheesy natural disaster movie. And this one just happens to be based on a script by Bellingham native and all-around nice guy, Jeremy Passmore. It also stars the Rock, and if anyone can wrestle a giant earthquake to the ground, it’s him.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 3 min.)

Spy: Even in terrible movies ("Tammy, Identity Thief"), Melissa McCarthy’s comedic skills cannot be denied. This, by all accounts, is the exact opposite of a terrible movie–instead, it’s the breakout starring role McCarthy’s been destined for since "Bridesmaids."  (R • 1 hr. 57 min.)

Berlin Airlift and then for the Korean conflict.

This turned into a 20-year flying career for Ernie and to a growing family for Hazel to watch over in the many moves of a military family. Ernest William II–Bill–arrived first, then came Ronald, David, and Susan.

Life Tributes James Franklin Campbell Mr. James Franklin Campbell, age 59, passed away June 3, 2015 at his residence in Oak Harbor, WA. He was born August 15, 1955 in Philadelphia, PA. He was a very loving, caring and giving person. With his kindness, he loved to help and support those in need regardless of who they are, including animals. James enjoyed fishing, hunting, cars, art, history and music (especially Grateful Dead). For 30 years James served in the United State Navy and traveled to several countries. He championed his leadership role as a Master Chief Petty Officer and retired May 1, 2011. With the love of art and history, James attended Great Mills High School at St. Mary’s county, MD. Later on, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland while he was in the Navy.

Left to deeply mourn his death are his wife, Sirilak Campbell, and sister in law, Chutirat Sarathanah. He is also survived by his two sons, Shawn and James Jr. Services for Mr. James Franklin Campbell will take place at a future date at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia where his father also rests.

VIRGINIA C. DOLVIN Virginia Clara ”Ginny” Dolvin died June 3, 2015 at Fairhaven Adult Family Home, Oak Harbor at the age of 95. She was born July 25, 1919 in Philadelphia, PA to Richard and Elsie Quimby. Following high school, Virginia obtained her Registered Nursing Degree at Abington Hospital, near Philadelphia. In March of 1942, Virginia enlisted in the U.S. Navy and began a long history of service to military families.

Virginia and the other nurses received no rank and no civilian clothing. She traveled with the first SPARS (Women in the U.S Coast Guard) and other women in the military from New York to San Diego on a troop train.

Her military service took her to Brooklyn, NY, Australia, New Guinea, Treasure Island, Philadelphia, Bermuda and Oakland, transferring every 18 months. While in service, Virginia met Sheridan (Lee) Dolvin. The Navy did not allow married females, so Virginia left active duty the morning of December 22, 1949, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and that same afternoon, she and Lee were married in Oakland, CA. Lee remained on active duty.

The Navy sent the Dolvin family to Oak Harbor in 1966 and Whidbey became home. Virginia returned to work, serving as a visiting nurse for Navy Relief. Her position was to serve military families, both active duty and retired, meeting their health care needs at home, assisting new moms in caring for their new babies at home

and serving as the first hospice nurse for retirees as they neared the end of life.

Ginny also served as a volunteer instructor for the American Red Cross, teaching first aid and CPR courses. She was also a part of the faculty for Skagit Valley College, teaching the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course.

Virginia retired from Navy Relief staff, but continued to be a volunteer. She logged over 10,000 hours of volunteer service. In addition to her home visits, she was an avid knitter, making hundreds of layettes for new moms.

She also enjoyed needlepoint. For several years, she worked for Dorothy Gaethel at the yarn and knitting shop on Pioneer Way. Virginia was a longtime member and Past Manager of the Duplicate Bridge Club.

In these years, Hazel earned a pilot’s license–a “just in case” measure as she flew at times with Ernie and their children on light aircraft.

She served others as well including support care for Christian workers in Japan and teaching Conversational English to Japanese teens.

In Hawaii she and Ernie helped with a church plant–the Windward Baptist Church–and offered ongoing hospitality to guests and friends.

After Hawaii came Air Force moves to Utah, South Dakota, and Montana. In each setting Ernie, Hazel, and the family were active in local churches and new friendships that grew around Hazel’s warm hospitality. When Ernie took up a new career in Spokane, Hazel also became a teacher as the children moved into adult life.

Virginia is survived by one daughter Susan Dolvin of Oak Harbor, by two grandchildren Jeff Crandall and Jessica Crandall and Great Grandchildren: Cattabrie, Gabriel and Matei. She was preceded in death by her husband Lee and sonin-law Alan Harris.

She first earned a BA in English at Whitworth College with a secondary teaching certificate in 1970. One year later she earned an M.Ed. in Counseling and Guidance, again at Whitworth, and then she earned her Continuing Level Counselor Certification at Gonzaga University in 1975. With her education in place Hazel served in Spokane as a teacher at Rogers High School; then she developed and directed the SCOPE program for underachieving students at North Central High School; and then she moved to become an administrator and counselor at Shaw Junior High School. This was followed by Hazel launching a small counseling practice.

Virginia requested no formal funeral services be conducted. Cremation was held. Burial at sea will follow, with full military honors under the auspices of the U.S. Navy.

On the side Hazel enjoyed water skiing, snow skiing, golfing, knitting, painting, cooking, reading, writing, and hosting the many meals and gatherings stirred by her teenage children.

Please visit Virginia’s page in the Book of Memories at www.wallinfuneralhome.com to share memories and condolences. Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC, Oak Harbor, WA.

In 1982 Ernie and Hazel both retired from their professional careers and moved to Oak Harbor, WA. They had discovered Whidbey Island years earlier during a summer camping trip and wanted it to be their retirement home.

Everett Hibbittis Wyche Jr.,

Hazel was widowed with Ernie’s sudden death in 1987. That family tragedy was followed before long by a family delight. Daughter Susan introduced Hazel to a member of the Oak Harbor Presbyterian Church she was attending.

That member, Russell R. Riley, had lost his wife within a month of Ernie’s death. The result was a wonderful match: they were married September 17, 1988. Russ had two adult children, David and Brian, from his first marriage. David is his surviving son. Brian, who died in 2002, was married to Sue Aschinger. Their son is also named Russell.

Everett Hibbittis Wyche Jr., 78, passed away June 8, 2015. Everett was born January 25, 1937 in Fort Worth, TX to Everett H. Wyche and Vivian Jane Sullivan. Everett had degrees in Risk Management and Safety Security and served 25 years in the United States Marine Corps. He worked as Risk Management and Safety Security in a hospital for Carondelet and in Virginia. Everett was Methodist, a member of the VFW, and loved fishing and rock polishing. He is survived by his children Melody, Beth, Laura, and Walter along with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Hazel Marie Riley Hazel Marie Riley, age 91, died in Oak Harbor, WA, June 15, 2015. She was at home surrounded by her family in her passing. Hazel was born May 12, 1924 in Chicago to Cuyler and Dagmar Wenberg.

Hazel was a woman of faith, family, friendships, and countless adventures. Her faith came alive in her teen years. She graduated from Glenbard High School in Illinois and then worked as an administrative assistant at nearby Wheaton College. There she was part of singing groups that supported the college “preacher boys” including Billy Graham.

Ernest Frost, an Army Air Force pilot on leave from his WWII duties, met Hazel at the college and a match was made. They were married on her birthday in 1945. After the war, Ernie was twice recalled to the Air Force to fly: first for the

The Riley bond–a Swede and an Irishman–made for lots of lively conversations and laughs. They loved fishing, golfing, and traveling together.

She was competitive well into her eighties.

Summers spent at Priest Lake, ID–shared with some close friends–were a special treat for both of them. Travels to Germany, England, Sweden, and Mexico were highlights too. A Christmas dinner for the extended family is a special memory Hazel and Russ shared with the clan. In 2010 a set of strokes slowed Hazel down physically but her presence continued to be clear and strong. Special delight came with visiting grandchildren and great-grandchildren–Hazel’s smiles were never broader than when the small ones came to visit.

Hazel was loved and will be missed by all who knew her. A Memorial Service will be held at Saturday, June 27, 2 PM at the San de Fuca Chapel in Coupeville, WA, with a reception following.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or condolences please visit Hazel’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www. wallinfuneralhome.com.

WILLIAM ELLSWORTH OSBORNE William Ellsworth Osborne, age 86, died June 17, 2015 at Skagit Valley Hospital, Mt. Vernon. He was born May 8, 1929 in Jackson, OH to David and Birdie Osborne.

Bill was raised on a small country farm in Jackson. At the age of 16, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and he was compelled to serve his country. Lying about his age, Bill enlisted in the Army Air Corps. When the Japanese surrendered, he was sent to Japan as part of the occupational forces and was assigned as a train conductor.

After three years of service, Bill became a part of the transition from the Army Air Corps to the U.S. Air Force, where he remained for more than 20 years. He was married to his first wife Donna in 1949 and that marriage lasted until 1975.

The Air Force took him from Japan to Morocco, Labrador, California, West Virginia, Alaska and Mississippi, where he retired. He returned to Alaska, where he began a second career as an electrician for the Alaska Railroad in Anchorage.

Bill left Anchorage and moved to Escondido, CA, where he began a new career with Federal Civil Service. He was married to Helen Woodward in 1977 in Oceanside, CA. The government moved him to Colorado Springs, CO and then to Tucson, where he retired in 1992 for a second time. In 2014, Bill and Helen moved to Oak Harbor to be with family.

Bill loved trains, Louis L'Amour novels, traveling and the train ride through the Verde Canyon. He was a handsome man and a great story teller, reminiscing about his youth and his military service. He loved to laugh, but most of all he loved his family and he loved his wife Helen.

Bill is survived by his wife Helen, by two daughters Nadada Mascorella and husband William of Oak Harbor and Cynthia Cogdell and husband Chuck of Tooele, UT, one brother Lowell Osborne of Springfield, OH and one sister Helen Hill of Desert Springs, CA. Seven grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren also survive.

Funeral services for William Osborne will be held Friday, June 26, 2015, 2pm at Wallin Funeral Home, Oak Harbor with Gary Wallin as Life Celebrant. Military honors will follow under the auspices of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard.

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

Crabbing, clamming, and a salmon run for summer fun!

When it comes to seafood I’m a little bit of a novice. Of course I do enjoy certain types of fare that comes from the sea or a given body of water such as prawns, crawfish, lobster, salmon, and haddock but that’s pretty much the extent of it. And even though I’ve lived on two different islands for a collective 7 years, I just never exposed myself to the bounty which is found within the ocean.

So I find myself on another island and not indulging in much seafood (yet again) and while personally I think I have an adventurous enough palate, maybe I should diversify further and investigate seafood more in depth, pun intended.

It’s come to my attention that crabbing and fishing for salmon are relatively popular in this region beginning in July and continuing all the way through fall. According to the www.wdfw. wa.gov a pretty strong run of pink salmon are expected in the Puget Sound this year. It’s important to remember there are rules and regulations which govern fishing of any and all types. You can find these listed in a downloadable pamphlet at the same web address. I love salmon because of its beautiful coral color and very light, almost sweet, flavor. Besides the delicious taste, this fish is also well known for being a great source of

Omega-3 fatty acid. This is an EFA or essential fatty acid which means we should ideally be consuming it on a daily basis. Our ancestors were accustomed to consuming foods they had hunted and/or gathered, and this meant among land animals, their diets included fish, nuts, and seeds (just to name a few). They were absolutely reaping health benefits from this way of eating, especially those diets with seafood added into it. While nuts and fish are great sources of EFAs the average person doesn’t always get a sufficient amount of them. So Omega-3 and 6 EFAs are important dietary constituents we need to obtain from outside sources as our bodies cannot synthesize them. Omega-3 and 6 EFAs play important roles in regulating hormones in the body, aiding in the transportation of oxygen from red blood cells to tissues, helping maintain proper kidney function and regulate fluid balance throughout the body, keeping saturated fats moving through the blood stream (it doesn’t allow them to sit in vessel and create potential build up), helping maintain correct neurological function in both the brain and the retina, aiding in the monitoring and regulation of proper cell division, and preventing red blood cells from clumping. These are just a few of the many health benefits provided by these EFAs and salmon is one of the best sources of Omega-3.

Salmon fishing isn’t the only thing popular in the PNW. I hear crabbing ranks pretty high up there.

I’ve never been crabbing as they scare me and

Dining

I’m worried I’ll get pinched. I will say however, they have such a unique flavor I just can’t seem to describe it with 100% accuracy. Sometimes smokey but also sweet, not too fishy, a bit salty, earthy, nutty – even those flavors don’t quite hit it spot on. Anyway, crab along with other shellfish like oysters and clams are a powerhouse of minerals. They are low in fat and an exceptionally great source of vitamin B12 which is essential in helping prevent pernicious anemia as it helps with the production of healthy red blood cells.

Aside from promoting proper red blood cell production, crab meat is also rich in selenium.

This is good because selenium is a mineral which helps thwart oxidative stress between joints, thus decreasing the risk of joint inflammation.

All over the United States people have many different ways of preparing and eating crab. On the East coast (Maryland to be exact though I have read that in New York the method of preparation is not dissimilar at all), you’re more than likely to find blue crab seasoned, rapidly steamed and then served most probably with a side of corn on the cob. In Florida, stone and golden crabs are a widespread favorite, prepared in much the same way as their more Northerly east coast neighboring states. Once you hit Louisiana, crab preparation is a little more involved. Well maybe not the crab itself but more the stock it’s cooked in. A Louisiana crab-boil is bound to see an abundance of garlic, sliced lemon, shrimp, Old Bay seasoning, garlic, potatoes and onions added to water as the basis for the crab boil stock. Add the crabs and boil away until it’s done and ready to eat.

Coming across to the west coast, Dungeness crab is a common crustacean mealtime favorite.

Up and down the coast you can find these rather large crabs prepared in a variety of ways but most popularly served with garlic, butter and black pepper.

In our neck of the woods the next few months will see many a fishing enthusiasts palate satisfied. There are also, I believe, some 40 public clam and oyster beaches on both Whidbey and Camano Island. With this beautiful weather nothing screams Pacific Northwest more than local seafood enjoyed at home or in a restaurant!

I hope you all get out this summer and enjoy some sort of local seafood, whatever it may be.

My friend loves to make cioppino which is sort

long and disappointing experience Alpert knew this to be true. Better to become love, the guru said. Alpert could feel the overflowing love in the man, pure and unconditional. To one lost and confused, not only for the last six years but for all of his life as Alpert had been, in and out of psychotherapy and harboring much guilt, this was a message of irresistible power. Alpert would spend the next eight months with Maharaji in rigorous spiritual practice, learning how to be love.

Chicken Little & the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

Uranus is the planet of the odd and the unusual. Uranus puts the shock in all things shocking (sometimes literally—he rules electricity, you see). Whatever Uranus’s message, it is always delivered with a jolt.

Where is Uranus in your chart? There is where you’re as subtle as a charged light socket. Stick a finger in if you dare.

Think of Rahu as an amplifier of Uranus’s jolt. Think of Sun as the natural indicator of self. Richard Alpert’s Uranus is sandwiched tightly between his Rahu and Sun. That tells us straight out Richard Alpert is one peculiar bird. A high-voltage oddball. This is why we know him, not as Richard Alpert, perhaps, but by his Hindu spiritual name, bestowed by an Indian guru. Nothing less fits the man and his astrology. And what is that name?

Patience, we’re leading up to that.

Sun happens also to be Alpert’s indictor of helpful people. Everything said about Alpert thus applies equally to the people who play supportive roles for him. They’re birds of a feather, Alpert and the key figures in his life, and together they make one odd flock.

Among the oddest of that flock were Timothy Leary and an Indian guru known to his followers as Maharaji. Leary and Alpert, as we said in an earlier column, together were a driving force behind the LSD culture that arose in America in the 1960s. How Maharaji wooed Alpert away from that role is a story worth repeating.

Richard Alpert in December of 1967 was a lost and confused man. The path of his life had led him from an esteemed professorship in the Harvard department of psychology just six years before, where he had felt like a phony, to where he was in ‘67—on a remote mountain in India in the company of a strange little man who had ways of knowing things impossible for him to know. Impossible, that is, in the world as Alpert had known it. That world was fading rapidly.

“Where’s the medicine?” the little man demanded of Alpert.

“Medicine? What medicine?”

“The medicine, the medicine.”

“LSD?” Alpert had some in his travel kit.

“Yes. Bring the medicine.”

Alpert had not told the little man about the hallucinogen, but somehow the man knew. The day before, he had known about the recent death of Alpert’s mother, also without being told. Alpert produced the medicine.

The little man peered at Alpert’s vial of LSD. “How much should I take?” he insisted. This was Alpert’s chance. He had come to India wanting to test LSD on the consciousness of an already-enlightened being. Maharaji fit the description. Alpert gave the mysterious little man 300 micrograms, a hefty dose, and waited to see the results.

Hours later, Alpert was still waiting. In addition to being able to read Alpert’s mind, the little man could also take massive LSD without effect.

The strongest medicine of all, Maharaji explained, much stronger than LSD, was love. LSD would open a door, he said, allowing love to visit, but it did not stay. From

The story of Richard Alpert is ultimately the story of Venus. Alpert’s Venus–the planet of love, please note–sits exactly on his 9th house cusp, the point of spiritual inspiration.

On the day Alpert met his spiritual mentor, Mahraji, transiting Venus aligned with Sun and Rahu in his chart like tumblers in the dial of a lock. Maharaji began inspiring him with lessons of love, and Alpert felt a wrenching in his heart as the lock clicked and the long-closed doors of his heart began to swing open. The course of his life was altered that day.

Learning to be love under Maharaji was a disciplined practice. It called for Alpert to rise before daylight to bathe in the cold river, followed by hours of meditation.

When not meditating, Alpert was reading from spiritual texts of all faiths. Raised in the Jewish faith by birth, he got his first taste of New Testament Christianity from a Hindu— Maharaji—on a Himalayan mountainside.

Did we say Rahu-Uranus tends to be jolting?

As he advanced spiritually, Alpert was left alone for days at a time in a small room, his daily rice left in a bowl at the door without conversation. At other times, there was no food, only meditation and fasting on the nine days leading up to the full Moon. No one said love was easy.

At the end of eight months, Maharaji summoned Alpert to inform him he was no longer Richard Alpert. He was Ram Dass, which translates to Servant of God. As Ram Dass, his service was to feed people. How he was to do this came later in the form of a hint from Maharaji.

As Ram Dass was preparing to leave India, Maharaji surprised him by letting it be known that he approved of the book Dass was going to write. The surprising part was that Ram Dass had no thoughts or intentions of writing a book. But since Maharaji said he was going to write a book, Ram Dass made that his goal.

Back in America, it appeared that Maharaji had been wrong. Western publishers were not receptive to Ram Dass’s book proposals about his travels to India. But Ram Dass published his story, anyway, in the form of a pamphlet that circulated for free. The pamphlet did so well, it eventually was published in book form under the title, Be Here Now. It has been read by millions and is still in print today.

Feeding peoples’ hearts via their minds– some would find that a bit jolting. But you may not, now that you know the astrology.

Next week: “Turn on, tune in, drop out.”

The planets of Timothy Leary.
