Friday & Saturday September 18 & 19

JANUARY The heavy rumble of the engine changed as the big boat slipped the dock and headed into the fog. Standing on the bow of the ferry Sara could see nothing but gray. “How do they know where they’re going?� She thought, “And what if we hit another ship?�

The damp air and cold wind off the water cut through Sara’s jeans and sweatshirt.

She shivered and stepped back into the partial shelter of a steel bulk head. Why did Grandma Kitty want to live here? It felt like the end of the world!

A tear ran down Sara’s cheek and she swiped it away. She remembered Mom saying they were lucky Grandma had invited them to move in with her at the little farm on Whidbey Island. Sara loved her Grandma Kitty but she missed the warm California sun and her friends at Bakersfield Middle School.

This really was the end of her world. No more sunny bike rides to the park with her friends, no more pool parties at Katelin or Tiffany’s house, was there even a mall on the island? And school! She had not thought of that since last night at the motel in Portland.

She would be starting in the middle of the year, the new kid with no friends. Well at least she had a week to get used to the idea before the end of winter vacation.

All of a sudden a loud horn cut the foggy silence and the engine noise changed. Tall black pilings loomed to her left and Sara heard Dad call, “We’re here. Get back in the car sweetie.� “Well here we go,� thought Sara. “I’ll just have to make the best of it for now.�

The over loaded Toyota bumped up the ramp and started up the steep hill from the ferry dock. Sara caught glimpses of a beach and a sail boat through a break in the fog.

Soon Mom made a sharp left turn and they plunged into a forest of tall evergreens. The

narrow road wound around sweeping curves and into a little valley. The fog was lifting as they climbed higher. There were several small houses sitting in open fields and when Mom turned onto a gravel road Dad whispered, “Here we are, our new home. Isn’t it lovely, Sara?�

Sara had to admit the little cottage with the red shutters and green door was cute but the pink window boxes were bare as were the blue pots on the porch and the grass on the lawn was overgrown. As Mom drove around the back of the house to park Sara realized just how small the house was. How would they all live in that tiny space? Then Grandma Kitty opened the kitchen door with a big smile and Sara could smell the aroma of fresh cookies.

Sara jumped out and opened the passenger door for her Dad. “Paul, I’m so happy you’re finally here.� said Grandma.� “Can you help me with these stairs?� Paul asked as he limped to the back porch. “My depth perception is still a little off since the accident.� Grandma Kitty threw her strong left arm around him and guided him into the warm kitchen. The rest of the family followed. Sara took a seat at the table next to her Dad. Mom put baby Jacob on Sara’s lap and went to hug Grandma Kitty. “Thank you so much, Mama K,� she said with a catch in her voice that sounded like she might cry. “I don’t know what we would have done without your invitation.� “Nonsense Beth,� said Grandma, “That’s what family is for!

Together we’ll work this all out. It will be a great adventure! Now who wants chocolate chip cookies and milk?� “Me! Me!� screamed little Jacob as he grabbed two warm cookies off the plate and tried to stuff both in his mouth at once. Sara laughed and thought, “Maybe this will work out after all."

On Track with Jim Freeman

Periodically, we get reader e-mails which merit sharing with other readers. However, in some cases, anonymity is required to avoid neighborly issues of the human kind.

This week we are proud to feature the testimony of a Whidbey Weekly reader regarding an experience had with a massage technique called Rolfing. Not having ever been rolfed upon, I must say after reading the below, I will not be adding rolfing to my bucket list.

A student asked, “What gender is computer?�

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided computer should definitely be of the feminine gender, la computadora, because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;Â 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

Long story short, next thing I know I am over at our friends next door neighbor's home, on the mother’s table (she always has the massage table in her car when she comes to visit anyone). There I am, under a sheet, naked, in the combo living room kitchen where the door is where everyone enters. And, everyone did, in and out.

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;Â

The massage mother-in-law put on Enya music. The only time I have heard Enya music is when I had my tooth pulled out without any medication! I would rather have not been there, but I was trying to go along with the flow and not be a problem.

So, I went along with this –what turned out was rolfing massage (which is very painful I quickly learned). So, there I am naked, in a stranger's home, under a thin sheet, with people coming in and out, and that stupid Enya music in the background.

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

I am thinking (as I am face down and can’t see him) that he is joking. Turns out he isn’t.

But the mother keeps rolfing me—while arguing with the son-in-law. I try to get up and tell the mother that I preferred to leave now. But the mother says, “No, you stay, I will take care of my son-in-law.�

This goes on and on as the angry son-inlaw goes in and out of his home. Anyway, I finally get up when the kitchen is clear of men, so I can put my clothes on. The mother-in-law then says she was done anyway, and “that will be 150 dollars!�

Wow. Here I was trying not to be the problem, and to go with the flow, yet it turned out I was a problem. The son-in-law told my friends to tell me it was not me, but he had to lay the law down with his mother-in-law, and for me not to take it personally. Yeah right.

Well, we paid the mother rolfing massager with the cash we had to go shopping at Costco on the way home, while the sonin-law packed up his mother-in-law so she could drive back home. I got out alive, and can still walk, 150 dollars poorer.

Oh my back? Yeah, it’s the same as before the alleged massage.

are designated as either masculine or feminine. “House, for instance, is feminine, la Casa. Pencil, however, is masculine, el lapiz.�

Rolf on When we went to our friends this past weekend, their neighbors came over for a BBQ. Their neighbors' mother also came over. The mother-in-law of the husband is an expert massage person for 40 years, one of the best in the state, so they all said.

When our friends told them I had a bad back, she (the mother-in-law) went into how she could help me like no one else has ever been able to. Her daughter said she is booked up five months always in advance.

My friends also said they had heard so many great things about her.

Fast forward about an hour later. I am still there while the mother-in-law tells me story after story about how many lives she has made a difference in. Then the son-in-law comes in, slams the door, turns off the Enya music, and says “Okay, I want my house back!�

Birth control for Grandma The doctor that had been seeing an eightyyear-old woman for most of her life finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized grandma had a prescription for birth control pills.

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?

"Yes, they help me sleep at night."

"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!"

She reached out and patted the young doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice my sixteen year old granddaughter drinks, and believe me, it definitely helps me sleep at night."

You gotta love Grandmas!

Bits & Pieces Family Seeks Help Finding Missing Sailor

I’m not adverse to change – I’ve been through enormous amounts of it in my 65 years. I’m adverse to poorly thought through change and a disregard for integrity, honesty and clear thinking. I’m hoping that the 2016 Port Commissioners will bring these positive qualities to plans and decisions for the future of Greenbank Farm.

Bottom line: Do NOT lose the incredible staff at the Farm for lack of decisive action!

Mary Jo Oxrieder Raven Rocks Gallery, Greenbank Farm

Letters to the Editor, Editor, Because of our volunteers, this summer’s Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival was another great success!

To our first volunteer, Eric Marshall and the Whidbey Weekly staff, how do we sufficiently convey our sincere thanks for the beautiful 2015 festival program? Your continued support is appreciated beyond measure. The programs were on the street within minutes of delivery prior to the festival. In fact people were coming by the office during early morning hours looking for them to put in local establishments like the Coupeville Library, Chamber and local restaurants.

The CFA has partner agreements with other organizations to help run some areas of the festival. Those partners include: Pacific Northwest Art School which hosts the juried art gallery in the recreation hall; Coupeville Chamber of Commerce which operates the Beer and Wine Garden in front of the museum; The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club who provide volunteers to run two parking lots; Coupeville School History Day students and Wilbur Purdue who manage trash and recycle pick-up; The Coupeville Lions Club who help set up Friday and Saturday morning, then tear down Sunday evening; The US Navy volunteers who help anywhere needed from driving golf carts, to folding t-shirts, to carrying merchandise for vendors. Many new volunteers participated because of the efforts of our volunteer coordinator Kathy Sechrist who contacted local sports teams, non profit organizations, friends and neighbors! Moxie Creek and Webmaster Maureen Denny designed the festival web site so that it provides great information year round but handled almost 5300 unique inquiries festival week alone.

This festival would not be possible without the continued support of our sponsors. Special thanks and appreciation go to: Platinum sponsor People’s Bank including Mark Mouw and tellers; Gold sponsor Doug Kroon of Knead and Feed and Walt Blackford of Puget Sound Energy; Sponsors Eric Mitten of Windemere Real Estate, Nathan Corey of Corey Oil, the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, the City of Coupeville and its employees, John Tharp at Sea-Tac Shuttle, and CFA volunteer Mary Young working with the Whidbey News Times and Keven Graves for poster distribution throughout the Island.

The Coupeville Festival is truly a community event. What would the festival be without the lovely waterfront setting with unique businesses, restaurants and the fun activities provided by many of them? In some cases among the 289 volunteers giving 1808 hours during the festival, there are third generation volunteers returning who come “home” to Coupeville, some from as far away as Texas.

I personally want to thank all of the Committee Chairs and their dedicated volunteer teams for their countless hours of work throughout the year that make this great event happen. If I have not mentioned some person or organization, let me apologize now for the oversight.

Sincerely, Mike Dessert President, Coupeville Festival Association

On August 8, 2015, 33 year old AM2 (AW) Keiyia Jones went crabbing in Crescent Harbor Bay. His boat capsized around noon and he has not been seen since. Although the search has been officially called off, the family is still desperate to find him so that he may be laid to rest and they can have some closure. To help fund their search, the family has created a Go Fund Me account. If you would like to help, visit www.gofundme.com/w48rhpzc [Submitted by, Kiarni Jones Smith]

To the 2016 Port Commissioners, Do NOT lose the staff at the Farm for lack of decisive action!

As we, the tenants at Greenbank Farm, continue to grapple with where the Port intends to take this enterprise, I want to voice a grave and immediate concern: do NOT drag your feet and risk losing the incredible staff of Greenbank Farm! DO NOT. Unless you personally have vast experience with running a business/non-profit of this type, with volunteers to train and manage, grounds to keep up, events to plan, the community to keep informed, etc etc, do not overestimate anyone at the Port’s abilities to fill these shoes.

The past Port decisions have shown a total disregard for basic decency – blowing off people’s time, energy and efforts. People need to plan for their futures, know financial stability, have a sense of security to be effective.

Please do NOT follow the past and drag out decisions that so affect people’s lives and livelihoods. Yes, I want a lease for our gallery. But I also know that if there isn’t a staff to run the Farm, maintain its integrity and keep it in the forefront of the community and tourism, our gallery will suffer.

Finding people who can be counted on and who have extensive experience and training is a rare, rare thing. Watching the Greenbank Farm staff work, interacting with them – I’ve been impressed and moved beyond words.

I managed a non-profit office in Spokane for ten years and juggled constantly changing programs and funding. I know intimately the value of people you can trust and depend on.

I also know that the pat solution of “just get volunteers to do it” is a fantasy. I only used volunteers if my boss mandated it because it took three times as long to do anything (training, managing, double checking, appreciating, scheduling, filling in when they canceled, etc) than if I just did it myself. Having staff who know how to work effectively with volunteers – that’s HUGE! Do YOU know how to do it?

Are YOU going to come down to the Farm and make sure all of this gets done?

Are you scheduling the Christmas Market?

Are you working on next year’s events now?

Are you contacting all of the people who will need to be involved in those events? Who is going to mow the trails? Keep the Farm looking lovely so that it makes a good impression on first time visitors? Clean the bathrooms?

Who will do that? Who do you plan to bring in who will juggle the million and one details that successfully done have had us thriving? Once you start pulling the bricks out of this structure, it won’t be long before it begins to slide and everyone is effected adversely. Reinventing the wheel has never made a lot of sense to me.

Visit the Fort Casey Inn Facebook page to vote for your favorite Camp Casey Lifeguard of 2015. Voting continues through August 24.

Since the program’s inception, Heritage Barn Grant funding has provided assistance to 65 Heritage Barns throughout Washington. “Because of the widespread support among barn owners and admirers alike, this program will continue to assist with important barn rehabilitation projects,� states Jerri Honeyford, Chair of the Barn Advisory Committee that oversees the initiative. “These wonderful structures represent Washington’s agricultural legacy and we applaud all those committed to seeing this aspect of our state’s heritage live on.�

“With over 600 barns presently included in the Heritage Barn Register, the program has succeeded in highlighting the impact agriculture continues to have in shaping the economic, social and cultural development of Washington,� notes Dr. Allyson Brooks, director of the State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation. “Our agency is thrilled to once again offer support to barn owners committed to carrying this legacy into the future.�

The Washington State Transportation Commission held its final hearing in Seattle recently on its proposal to increase ferry fares. The proposal is designed to generate $357 million between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2017, as required in the 2015/17 state transportation budget for Washington State Ferries’ operations.

Historic agricultural structures listed in the Heritage Barn Register, the Washington Heritage Register, or the National Register of Historic Places, are eligible to receive grant funds. To be eligible for listing in the Heritage Barn Register, barns must be over 50 years old and retain a significant degree of historic integrity. All nomination/application materials related to the Heritage Barn Register and the Heritage Barn Rehabilitation Grant Program can be downloaded from DAHP’s website at www.dahp.wa.gov/heritage-barn-register. Barn owners with questions about the program are encouraged to contact Chris Moore at (206) 624-9449 or via email at cmoore@preservewa. org. Grant applications are due on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, with grant awards slated to be announced in early 2016.

A unanimous vote was taken to make the following changes to fares over the next year:

State Acts to Increase Ferry Fares

October 1, 2015: The current over-height surcharge for vehicles less than 22 feet in length is eliminated.

October 1, 2015: The over-height waiver currently in place for qualifying disability vehicles 22- to 30-feet long will be expanded to include any feature necessary to accommodate a disability on the vehicle, that may add height, rather than limiting it to a lift or other mechanism.

Heaven is Going to the Dogs!

This week, I found myself trying to decide between two topics. The first was something “heavenly,� and the other was to acknowledge the Dog Days of Summer. After scouring my movie collection, and my brain cells, I decided why not do both? By the time I was ready to sit and write this, I realized this one would wind up getting me right in the 'feels'!

All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989) is a charming, yet dark film, full of life's little lessons, cleverly disguised with humor and a little bit of song and dance. Charlie (Burt Reynolds) is killed by his greedy partner-in crime, Carface (Vic Taylor) and goes to heaven. He has no desire to live this boring life of bliss and convinces the angels to let him come back, with a stern warning that once he leaves heaven, he cannot return.

He is quickly enlisting the help of his best bud, Itchy (Dom DeLuise) to help him kidnap a little orphaned human girl, Anne-Marie (Judith Barsi), whose ability to speak to animals of every species has been a boon to Carface in fixing the results of the rat races which are his casino's biggest draw. At first, Charlie just wants to hurt his enemy, and maybe use Anne-Marie's skills at, say, talking to race horses to make some quick cash of his own. But the orphan quickly imprints on the dog, and though it takes a bit longer than it would in a Disney film, she starts to melt his selfish heart and teach him the value of family and love.

3ATURDAY s &REE (OT $OGS 0OP AT .OON $2!7).'3 &/2 ')&4 "!3+%43 Loyalty and unwavering love. This brings me to a character in my next film. Usually, I focus on the entire movie, but in this one, a single character very simply proves my point. In Up (2009), Bob Peterson brings the adorable canine, Dug, to life in a way we all seem to do in our own homes. We tap into the simple minds of our pets. “BALL!� “Are you gonna eat that?� “Squirrel!� Dug brings to the

forefront of our minds, the very reasons we find dogs so endearing. Such simplicity is why they are so easy to talk to. And then, after the bond is set and created indelibly on our souls, there is a fierce level of protection a dog offers to us. Dug relies often upon the presence of his pack, the “bad dogs� and Alpha, Beta, and Gamma's leadership. When forced to choose between his former master, Muntz, (Christopher Plummer) and Carl, he becomes locked in a battle with Alpha, and becomes the leader of the Bad Dog pack.

Again, this brings us back to the loyalty that keeps us cherishing our barking buddies at our sides. Dug chooses his loyalty to Carl and Russel because they care for him. We choose our loyalty to our dogs because they care for us. No other friend listens like our furry best friends. They kiss our cheeks and wash away the tears from a bad breakup with no judgement, not even the silent type of judgement. They simply love us, regardless of our poor relationship choices, our unemployment status, or even the sharp-toed kitten we brought home last week. We don't have friends who innocently cuddle up to us in silence when we are in quiet contemplation or force us outside to play catch when we're so desperately wrapped up in those job applications.

I've often wondered what happens to our furry children when they pass out of our lives.

Is it true that, as the first movie suggests, All Dogs go to Heaven? Let's assume, for a moment they really do pass through the Pearly Gates. Let's also assume their after-life is far more perfect than any simple life we could give them here and that they are now romping through perfect fields, digging up a literal fountain of bones. But what of us left behind here on the earthly plane? Our barking buddies are our best friends, our companions, our best secret-keepers. When they leave us, we are left with a gaping hole which can never be truly filled.

Our dogs teach us that life is meant to be enjoyed. They teach us to not take life so seriously, and there is always a time to play, exercise, and just to simply love each other no matter what may try to get in the way.

When life was lower than you'd like, out of the corners of your eyes, do you ever think you see a shadow, like we do with our little buddy Razzy, just when we really need him?

Or do you simply chalk it all up to your imagination? Or maybe... maybe our little guardian angels have come to let you and I know he or she is still with us. It brings a great deal of comfort to know you can feel the little body of your best friend snuggled up against you as you deal with life, just like he or she used to, and right where they've always belonged.

Perhaps, in the tiniest way, this is how they let us know it is okay for us to move on. Our little angels come back as not only guardians, but as guides. They remind us there's a little dog in the next town over who needs a human to love. They remind us that, though it hurts, we need that little dog just as much, and our departed friends just want us to be happy again, frolicking in the sun, throwing balls, and snuggling on a late Sunday morning under the covers.

These are the Dog Days of Summer, and although the warmth of the sun and the fun on the beaches are coming to an end for another year, remember the “Dog� part.

Don't forget, that while you're waiting for the warm weather to return, your best friend is gonna keep you warm and will remind you to get out and live while you still can.

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

Angel’s Food is Definitely This Cake!

‘Be An Angel’ Day is observed August 22 around the United States. The purpose of this day is to promote service to others and foster acts of kindness everywhere. It’s about making the world a better place, even just for one day and who knows? It might catch on and become an everyday thing! Interfaith Minister Jayne Howard Feldman is the founder of ‘Be An Angel’ Day and did so hoping we would all stop and help someone in need or that we might partake in a kind act. If you’re on the receiving end of an act of kindness, maybe you could pay it forward, and keep the meaning of the day alive!

With that said, I figured since we were talking about acts of kindness and those being akin to the essence and integrity as high as that of Angels, why not bring it round to a particular type of cake? Yes, that’s right! Of course I mean Angel Food Cake! Which other sweet treat would so aptly become part of this article?

It is thought by food historians that because Angel Food Cake is so light, airy and fluffy it was fit enough for the Angels themselves to eat. It’s almost weightless consistency is a result of several beaten egg whites (and some old recipes say as much as a ‘pound of whites’) to double their volume, which are then incorporated into the batter and its partly this which

creates a lightweight cake so fluffy, it barely feels like you’re eating anything! It’s also supposed the Pennsylvania Dutch are to thank as the inventors of Angel Food Cake, although nothing formal backs this theory up completely.

The reason why food historians believe the cake could be of Pennsylvania Dutch origin is they were the ones who brought the ‘mold’ to America. This was (as we know today) a metal pan ‘molded’ into a vast array of shapes and sizes, ensuring any cake baked in it would look the same as the mold and be just as pretty or fun. Now how this relates to the actual conceptualization of Angel Food Cake is, some say, due to their view on the sinfulness of waste, left over egg whites from another dish were used to make something else so they didn’t go to waste. This just so happened to be Angel Food Cake which would undoubtedly have been baked in one of their famous molds.

There is, however, another train of thought about how this ‘pan of fluff’ came to be. In 1894 the author of The American Pastry Cook, Jessup Whitehead, wrote about who he says was the creator of Angel Food Cake, S. Sides.

Sides was apparently exceptionally secretive about the special “powder” which was used in the recipe. The cake’s creator alluded to the fact that this “powder” could be procured from him and him alone. As it turns out this clandestine ingredient was just cream of tartar. Apparently Angel Food Cake was so well loved it was

August 20 - August 26, 2015

ordered far and wide in many different cities across the United States. Whitehead also claims it was ordered from as far away as London.

I haven’t the faintest idea how a cake sailing across the ocean for a few weeks might taste upon arrival in London but maybe there was a way to preserve its freshness, even back then.

Jessup Whitehead also noted Angel Food Cake was prone to collapsing in the center, much to many-a-baker’s chagrin, and to prevent this they refrained from greasing the mold in which it was baked, since this seemed to ‘hold it up’ better.

Now, I have to be honest and say I have never tried to make this springy cake from scratch. If experienced bakers were frustrated by the process of making it, I certainly will be too! While I’m no novice in the kitchen, I feel like I would need a quiet day and some mental preparation before taking this cake on from bare basics!

Thankfully, in 1942, a company in Kansas developed the first boxed Angel Food Cake Mix. It seems to have crept its way over to the west coast in 1949 and obviously it did a fine job persuading homemakers that the quick, convenient version was equally as good as the homemade one.

This heavenly cake can be served in so many different ways and each one is no less delicious than another. Fruit sauces of any and all kinds go so well with Angel Food Cake. Its feathery crumbs sop up every last drop of sauce, making it moist and tasty. Not only do fruit sauces lend themselves wonderfully to the cake but so do many different frostings. Greek yogurt frosting, light whipped frosting, lemony butter cream frosting. Each one only raising the taste bar yet another notch. I’ve seen recipes for Angel Food Cake French toast sticks as well! Now that definitely sounds like it is sure to hit the spot for almost anyone! Another mouth-watering way this can be enjoyed is by halving the cake, horizontally and filling it with a chocolate ganache, and top all of it with a dark chocolate sauce. Now if that doesn’t sing its own praises and touch the Angel’s ears, then I don’t know what does.

With ‘Be An Angel’ Day almost knocking on the door, I hope someone brightens your day

in some kind way and perhaps you are able to do the same for another person. Observing this day in style necessitates we eat a small slice (or two) of Angel Food Cake served however you like it! I have included a recipe for Angel Food Cake with Mascarpone Cream and Nutella drizzle which I found on www.cookingclassy. com . If you try it, I would be interested to know how it turns out. Please email me any comments or information. As always, I love to hear from you, so Let’s Dish!

Angel Food Cake with Mascarpone Cream and Nutella Drizzle 1 box Angel Food Cake Mix, prepared as per instructions, or store bought or homemade.

8 oz. Mascarpone Cheese 1/3 cup of Powdered Sugar 1 cup of Heavy Cream 1 teaspoon corn syrup ¾ of a cup of Nutella 6 Tablespoons milk, thinned to desired consistency.

In a small mixing bowl, fold together Mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. In a separate large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on high speed, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add in optional corn syrup and whip until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream mixture into Mascarpone cheese mixture, then add remaining whipped cream mixture and fold until combined. Whip mixture with blender to fluff if necessary (you could probably just whip all 4 ingredients together until stiff peaks form and get the same result - the above was just the method used).

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the Nutella and milk until well blended.

Slice angel food cake into individual servings.

Drizzle each serving with Nutella. Top with Mascarpone Cream and garnish with strawberries if you like! Serve and enjoy! www.foodtimeline.org www.oldschoolpastry.pastrysampler.com To read past columns of Let's Dish in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www. whidbeyweekly.com.

The Greenbank Farm Management Group Would like to offer its deepest gratitude to the community of people who have supported the work of creating a vibrant and engaging Greenbank Farm.

After 18 years of learning how to balance the quirks and personalities of the land, the merchants, the public, and the Port of Coupeville, we have been told by the Port that our services are no longer desired. We feel we have generated, with you, a great deal of energy and momentum here, and our preference would have been to continue managing the entire Greenbank Farm.

However, throughout 10 months of negotiations, the Port pushed for a different model of management, one that would have changed what we believe was a successful approach to integrated management of the Farm. We never gave them ultimatums, we simply offered our view that if they wanted such a departure we were not the right fit for the job. On July 8, two of the current Port Commissioners made it very clear that they wished to pursue a different route and take on the management of the Farm themselves.

So we must do just that. As of January 1, 2016, the Port of Coupeville will directly manage Greenbank Farm, and the non-profit Greenbank Farm Management Group will shift its focus entirely to exploring the future of the Organic Farm School.

While our aim is to continue the operation of the Organic Farm School, the disruptions generated by the recent Port decision make continuing the program at the Farm uncertain for now. We do not feel able to graciously sunset our management role at the Farm while simultaneously engaging in the recruitment, fundraising, and planning needed for a 2016 Organic Farm School class. We have decided the prudent course of action is to take some time to re-evaluate. We will not take on students for the 2016 year so that we can devote time to work with the community and come up with a plan for strengthening the program and evaluating the feasibility of restarting it at Greenbank Farm or a new location for the class of 2017.

We will continue to manage the Farm—coordinating events, activities, and tenants all the way through to 12/31/15. After that, it’s up to you and the Port of Coupeville to keep the momentum going. We hold only the best wishes for the Farm, and hope you’ll stay engaged with us as we evaluate next steps for the Organic Farm School. ** If you are interested in the details of how this turn of events came to be, visit our website. There, you will find documents regarding finances, contract language, and more.

Film Shorts Courtesy of Cascadia Weekly

By Carey Ross Minions: This movie is for everyone who watched "Despicable Me" and thought, “I just wish those adorable little yellow dudes had a movie all their own.â€? So, basically, everyone. ď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ť (PG • 1 hr. 31 min.)

Mission: Impossible–Rogue Nation: The last movie I saw Tom Cruise in was "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief," and I have to say, it was his best performance in years. Seek it out. As for this film, I’m told it’s pretty good too.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 12 min.)

Pixels: Congratulations, Adam Sandler.

There is actually a movie in theaters right now that critics hate more than this one.

Achievement: unlocked. Take the rest of your career off. No, really. I mean it.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 46 min.)

American Ultra: I do believe it has become the part of the summer in which studios dump formerly shelved projects into the gaping maw of the local multiplex. This movie, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart and directed by Max Landis (son of John Landis), is pretty much the sole promising prospect, if only marginally so.  (R • 1 hr. 36 min.)

Ant-Man: Even though my knowledge of the comic-book universe is largely limited to “Superman: good. Lex Luthor: bad,â€? I will see this movie because, to paraphrase Gotham Police Commissioner James Gordon, Paul Rudd is both the superhero I deserve and the one I need. ď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ť (PG-13 • 1 hr.

55 min.)

Fantastic Four: Just how bad is this movie?

Well, there’s an Adam Sandler movie in theaters right now and critics actually like it twice as much as they like this film. Woof.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 46 min.)

The Gift: Written, directed and starring the always-superb Joel Edgerton, this is a story of a couple (played by Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall) forced to pay a price in the present for sins committed in the past.

Creepy, critically acclaimed and called a cross between "Fatal Attraction" and Michael Haneke’s "Cache," this ain’t your average thriller.  (R • 1 hr. 48 min.)

Hitman: Agent 47: Originally, this movie based on the video game series by the same name, was to star Paul Walker before his death in 2013. Since then, it has undergone changes in filming and release dates, which typically does not bode well in terms of reception at the box office.  (R • 1 hr. 25 min.)

Inside Out: Without a doubt, Pixar is the best, most visionary cinematic force in the world. Has this genius animation house made its perfect movie yet? Probably not, but this one comes pretty close.  (PG • 1 hr 42 min.)

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: This retooling of the massively popular ’60s television show stars Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer and features a bitchin’ movie trailer–all of which fills me with hope. However, the fact that it was directed by style-over-substance Guy Ritchie fills me with trepidation.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 56 min.)

Ricki and the Flash: The preview for this is cheesy as all hell, but I’m sure Meryl Streep (greatest living actor whose name isn’t Daniel Day Lewis) will totally bring it as a musician trying to make amends with her family, and will likely put the rest of the cast (Rick Springfield, Kevin Kline), the script (by Diablo Cody) and the direction (by Jonathan Demme) to shame. Long live Meryl.  (PG-13 • 1 hr.

42 min.)

Shaun the Sheep Movie: Aardman Animations, the minds behind "Wallace and Gromit," have crafted a claymation world peopled with sheep who wreak all manner of hilarious havoc on the big city–all without saying a word. Adorable and entertaining in equal measure.  (PG • 1 hr. 25 min.)

Sinister 2: Am I the only person who doesn’t remember there being a "Sinister 1?"  (R • 1 hr. 30 min.)

Straight Outta Compton: Is this going to tell the true story of N.W.A. or contribute to the myth surrounding the hip-hop act? Frankly, I don’t really care. Despite the posturing, video vixens and larger-than-life claims, hip-hop is still the most real, least sanitized, most DGAF genre of music out there, and N.W.A. deserves much credit for bringing the mean streets to the mainstream.  (R • 2 hrs. 37 min.)

Southpaw: Long ago, after stellar work in such movies as "Donnie Darko" and "The Good Girl," I granted Jake Gyllenhaal the considerable privilege of being my Movie Star Boyfriend. Then he starred in "Prince of Persia," and I was all, “Bye, Felicia.â€? Since then, he’s chosen grittier, far more interesting roles like this one as a boxer who must fight his way back from rock bottom, apparently in an effort to win me back. Woo me, Jake. ď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ť (R • 2 hrs. 3 min.)

Trainwreck: Amy Schumer + Judd Apatow = the summer of 2015’s most profoundly hilarious and likable comedy. If you have yet to fall under Schumer’s potent spell, this movie is likely to be your undoing.  (R • 2 hrs. 2 min.)

Vacation: This movie exists and I don’t understand anything anymore.  (R • 1 hr.

39 min.)

variations and adaptations to film, stage and song. So rich is the story with potential, so easily adaptable in its details, it has been worked into everything from Mickey Mouse to Sesame Street, to opera and off-Broadway musical. Most recently it appears as a Hindi art film of strife and poverty in modern India (“Raincoat,” 2004), and, under its original title, as a film of austerity and economic crisis in present-day Greece.

Chicken Little & the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

The most popular area of astrology is also the one that gets the least respect. If Rodney (“I don’t get no respect!”) Dangerfield had been an astrologer, instead of a stand-up comedian, this no-respect step-child of the astrologer’s art would likely have been his field. We are talking about the Sun sign horoscope. Just about everyone knows their Sun sign, and millions of people worldwide who know nothing else about astrology always read their newspaper horoscope. But horoscope fans aside, almost no one, even among astrologers, themselves, has a kind word for the Sun sign horoscope.

Why is the Sun sign horoscope astrology’s poor step-child? It’s a matter of simple logic.

Seven billion people in the world, all of them living unique lives, and only twelve zodiac signs to describe it all? Preposterous. Astrologers are charlatans and believers are gullible fools. Or so goes the logic.

Given the logic, there are two ways to go.

One way, the way of most astrologers, is toward ever-increasing complexity. The process is as follows: Begin with birth coordinates—date, time and place—and around those chart the planets. Then analyze the chart.

Astrology’s mathematically precise tools of analysis are more exquisite and wondrous than the well-stocked tool isles of Home Depot. A basic sampling of the Western astrologer’s tool kit might include planetary aspects, mid-points, transits, progressions and solar arc directions, just for starters.

Where things get dicey is in the Eastern astrology kit. To the above we may add planetary periods, planetary strengths, rulerships, yogas, ancient galactic zodiacs, and whole diverse systems by which to apply it all. Do not expect to master more than a small portion of this in a single average lifespan.

There is a second way to go. The second way addresses the protest that twelve signs for billions of people is too simplistic–by making things even more simple. Basic internet logic shows how.

On the internet, the possibilities for what an internet signal may deliver are as limitless as the number of people sitting at computers. At each computer sits a unique person, leading a unique life, with unique needs and interests. Each one will have on their computer screen something totally different from their neighbor. Yet ONE internet signal serves them all. Just one. Take a minute to think about that.

The secret of a great storyline, say the best writers, is that it can be written on the back of a business card. A famous example is the storyline O.Henry’s, “The Gift of the Magi”: Della sells her hair to buy Jim a platinum fob for his watch—only to discover Jim has sold his watch–to buy Della a set of jeweled combs for her hair! In that one short sentence—short enough to write on a business card–we get love, sacrifice, and comic irony–leaving us unsure whether to laugh or cry–and an open-door invitation to ponder on cosmic twists of fate.

From its origin as a short-story in 1905, “The Gift of the Magi” has seen numerous

Like “The Gift of the Magi,” whose ONE plot is rich and deep enough to be spun in various ways for more than century, and like the ONE internet data stream able to feed the limitless interests of innumerable computer users, the ONE set of planetary conditions that exists on any given day is sufficiently rich and deep to serve billions of people—in the space of a business card. OK, twelve business cards. Understanding how is the task of the Sun-sign astrologer.

In the space of 100 words—the average size of a newspaper horoscope—the horoscope writer must inform, intrigue, entertain, mentor, inspire, comfort and reassure, and tease the reader’s mind forward into an expanded sense of what is possible. This is no small responsibility. For the great majority of people, who have neither the training nor the time and inclination to delve deeper, those 100 words might be the week’s only pause for reflection. They will get some insight about themselves from the standpoint of their Sun sign. They will also get some storyline possibilities for their lives based on the astrology. Armed with those basics, they are like users of the one internet data signal at the computer: Free will in the form of their own inclinations takes over and the details of their lives become whatever they make them.

Unless he or she is very, very lucky, the writer of horoscopes works for an editor who doesn’t believe in astrology, thinks all astrologers are charlatans, whose decisions are final and who would fire the horoscope writer before lunch, except that a substantial portion of the paper’s readership would howl in immediate protest. Faced with that, what is the horoscope writer to do? The natural solution is to forgo the astrology and mesmerize the editor with words that dazzle–and hope no one notices the difference. No one will, except the few astrologers able to recognize a well-written horoscope.

So why take the challenge? Why labor under the lack of dignity? Pointless even to hope that astrology will ever garner anything like respect. So why cater to astrology’s least sophisticated audience? Why Sun signs, in contrast to the incredible depth and breadth astrology encompasses?

25. Look upon

It’s quite easy. It’s the single mother with bouncing baby on her knee and two jobs.

It’s the elder who has already forgotten the message of last week’s horoscope, but not the good feeling it gave. It’s the lonely of any age, marking the days and wondering why they are alone. It’s for all who are in love with the idea that there may be more to life than the Earthly limits of their existence. In their one pause for introspection, their 100word foray into self-reflection and meaning, all of them deserve the best clues possible.

As each one advances, the whole world advances with them. And that is worth more than anything. Even respect.
