On Track with Jim Freeman

Years ago, the Seattle Times sports page ran an ad which sought participants for an intense study of those suffering from seasonal depression. A modicum of monies was offered for each candidate. The mention of money really caught my eye as I had no modicum at the time.

8IJECFZ 8FFLMZ

I missed out on new memories with a slew of great friends. So, what can I do but share a toast with my classmates, both near and far, but mostly, far in a bar. “Congrats to our class, the class of '65; To all our classmates, whether lost or alive; Congrats to our class, for ours was the best; And if you don't believe that, you must be a guest.�

“Depression hot line, may I help you?�

Back in the day, whatever day it was, we were “airheads,� “flakes,� “ditzes� or “space cadets.�

“Thanks, but my name is not sir. I will never be a sir. My dad was a Sir, but, I just have his surname, but without the sir. My name is Jim.�

“Last name, Mr. Jim?�

“Freeman, F-R-E-E-M-A-N, as in Morgan Freeman.�

“Are you related to Morgan Freeman?�

“No ma'am, but if I were, I might not be so depressed.�

“Your address, please.�

“PO Box 996, in Freeland, 98249. I'm a Freeman in Freeland.�

“Where is Freeland?�

“Whidbey Island, on the south side, by the taco truck.�

“Mr. Freeman, which season do you find as the worst for your peace of mind, resulting in your seasonal depression?�

“Whenever it is not baseball season.�

“Baseball is not a season. Our study is seeking persons who are debilitated during one or more of the four seasons.�

“Mr. Freeman, do you live alone?�

“Thanks for asking. Most of the time I am alone, but, when I am lonely, I either go to PayLess or the post office.�

“Mr. Freeman, I appreciate your candor, but there is nothing we can do for you with this particular study. Have you thought of audio taping the ball games so you could listen to them during the winter?�

It was at that moment I realized I had been cured. Baseball year round. Old games, with old results, on cassette tape. Who cares if the game is a repeat? Who is listening anyway? For me, all these years, ever since the 50s' with Willie, Mickey and the Duke, baseball has just been glorious white noise for my evolving gray matter.

What a team we are! White noise and gray matter. The Mariners may be finished, but, here at the caboose, the season is just beginning.

Play ball!

Class Reunions After agonizing for months about whether or not to attend my 50th high school reunions in Ohio and Pennsylvania, I batted zero. Not that my classmates cared, but I did miss out on seeing all the people I might not recognize, and the few I might.

I missed gathering with my band buddies, Shields, Balser, Gobel, Wilson, Workman, and road manager, Movie.

I prefer scatterbrain. I feel smarter with that word. It also sounds like I am recycling.

Peach, Limestone, and Green When is the last time you saw the author of a book autograph a copy upside down? Last month, I had a fun experience being stopped by my smiling friend Jerry O'Neill, as he gifted me his glorious new book, Peach, Limestone, and Green, a collection of his personal letters and poems written for the care of the soul through loss and grief.

For me, joy abounds reading Jerry's words, as evidenced by my fave poem at page 151, Sound of Trains. There are times I feel weak and wonder, where is life going and how will I manage to get there? On the south end of Whidbey Island along with the occasional sound of the ferry horn, birds, coyote and the wind through pine, you can hear trains on the mainland rolling along the water, reminding me of those in childhood that ran along the Mississippi with whistle and track clatter echoing all day and night off grand limestone bluffs In Freeland I don't hear in my ear the sound of trains with steady clatter on their tracks but I feel the movement of a glorious locomotive in the depth of my being Like the little engine that could amidst commotion of conflicting thoughts and feelings, I hear the tiny whisper of a mighty motor moving me with steadfast rhythm and unlimited power toward a fullness of life, assuring that what I imagine I will realize and what I desire has already arrived In this and every Freeland moment is the thrill of adventure living local, believing large If any of you would like your own copy, our local bookstores are ready for you. If you are reading on the web, just type in Jerry's name or the book title in Amazon's search bar, and they you are. Every page is a delight, filled with inspiration, sensations, and comforting reflections for any of us who have struggled with loss and grief. Thank you, Jerry, for your soul-filled and mindful reminder. To read past columns of On Track in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www. whidbeyweekly.com.

“Well, from spring training in February to the playoffs, in October, I am fine. I just have a tough time from October until February when there is nothing on the radio. Soccer is not that exciting on the radio. Neither is wrestling, football, jai-lai, or bowling. Baseball is the best on radio. Then I can clean stuff and make sandwiches while I listen to Dave Niehaus.�

I missed hugging the geniuses I walked to school with - Wes, Sam, Jay, Chonce, Ridge, and Pete.

Scattered Brain One of my favorite words as a kid was “scatterbrain.� I was accused of being one more than once. Now we scatterers are called ADD, ADHD, or “a few fries short of a happy meal.�

“We can do that right now, on the phone. Your name, sir?�

I missed hugging the great athletes, Shaughnessy, Ray, Straub, Downing, and Tinman.

So, I called the 800 number listed to ask for the person who might ask me the questions that needed to be answered so I could get some money for my seasonal depression. It might not be as lucrative as food stamps, but why not try?

“Yes, thanks, I saw your ad in the paper today seeking participants who are suffering from seasonal depression. I was calling to ask for an application.�

Editor,

Brother Dog, Sister Cat and All Creatures Celebrated at St. Mary’s Age-old Tradition of Blessing Animals

[Submitted by Vince Bond]

Is character assassination how elections are won? I refer to the personal, grossly inaccurate names and false accusations my husband, Rob Born, running for WGH Hospital Board, has been called in our newspaper by the supporters of Georgia Gardner. Rather than namecalling, I’m guessing the taxpayers would appreciate HONEST facts instead.

Animal lovers island-wide are welcome to bring their precious pets to the Public Pet Blessing at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 207 North Main Street, in Coupeville at 10:00am, Sunday, October 4. If there is inclement weather the happy event will take place in the sheltered breezeway between the church and the parish hall along NE 3rd Street, just off Main Street in Coupeville.

Rob has done what nobody else has done and that’s spent hundreds of hours researching public information regarding how our money is spent and how our hospital is being run. If there is a discrepancy in his findings it should be challenged rather than the nasty, juvenile name-calling, which seems to be the norm! I guess some people just don’t like public information given out to the public! For Rob’s actual views and positions check out www.wghblogger.com. Leslie Born, Greenbank

Want to Become a Ham Radio Operator? A two-day class to acquaint radio enthusiasts with the rules and technical information necessary to pass the entry level federal license exam will be offered by the Island County Amateur Radio Club from 8:00am to 5:00pm on two Saturdays, October 3 and 10, at the Island County Commissioner’s hearing room, 1 NE 6th Street, Coupeville. The course, taught by knowledgeable club instructors, will provide training on how to be a successful amateur radio operator and to operate a shortwave radio transmitter safely and legally. The course will prepare students to take the Federal Communications Commission radio exam offered regularly by volunteer examiners at monthly radio club meetings. “Before you can get on the air, you need to have a federal license,� class instructor Ken Sousa said. “There is no requirement to learn Morse code any longer so becoming licensed is easier now for young or old. We will instruct students in what they need to know to take the exam and successfully set up their ham radio stations.�

lilting sounds will be heard 3:00pm to 5:00pm at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 555 Southeast Regatta Drive in Oak Harbor. There is no admission charge, but people are asked to bring a non-perishable food item that will be donated to the local food bank. Refreshments will be served.

Pet Blessing is a custom usually conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi, who is known for teaching us how to live in peace with creation. October 4 is his annual feast day, when people of all denominations and religious traditions celebrate love for all creatures as well as their own love for their pets. This Christian tradition recognizes that the bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. This very communication between St. Francis and various animals is now legend world-wide, among Christians and non-Christians. Animals of all kinds are welcome to the blessing when accompanied by their owners. Common sense is strongly advised, of course. Using cages, pet taxis, leashes—or just holding the pet--to secure the animals is encouraged. For more information, call St. Mary’s Mission in Coupeville at (360) 678-6536, Wednesday through Friday from 9:00am until 3:00pm. [Submitted by Mary Rose Anderson]

Family of Musicians to Perform Sacred and Traditional Irish Music The Whidbey community is invited to an “Irish afternoon� of Celtic sacred and traditional Irish music on Sunday, October 4, performed by a family of well-known Irish musicians. The

Community members are encouraged to participate, ask questions and to give opinions and insights from both a patient and a consumer perspective. [Submitted by Patricia Duff, Whidbey General Hospital]

The Wonders of the Pacific Rim Institute

The performers are singer-songwriters Owen and Moley O SĂşilleabhĂĄin and their mother, famed Irish singer NĂłirin Ni Riain. The brothers began performing with their mother in 2004 in an a cappella trio that sang Gregorian chant, ancient Irish songs and hymns from many traditions. Since then, the brothers have branched out as songwriters with a repertoire that ranges from chant and traditional songs to rock and rap. They have performed with The Chieftains, Bobby McFerrin and English poet David Whyte, who now lives on Whidbey Island. The brothers have recorded three albums, including one of Celtic sacred music.

Whidbey Audubon Society’s monthly program Thursday, October 8, features “The Wonders of the Pacific Rim Institute� with a presentation by Joe Sheldon, Ph.D. He relates the history of the site, the prairie restoration efforts and the natural history that include 108 species of birds, 227 species of plants plus more than three miles of walking trails. Maps of the public walking trails are available.

For owners of pets wearing collars, there will be a variety of St. Francis pet medals available at the event, also. Some of the medals are designed to be engraved on the back and used also as the pets’ identifying information tags.

and Wednesday, October 21 in the Whidbey General Hospital lobby.

Whidbey General will hold a series of “bed fairs� to help identify the best beds for patient rooms in the hospital’s new wing. One of the most important investments in patient comfort and nursing care in the new wing is the selection of the patient bed. Hospital beds aren’t simple anymore and provide many options that will be considered in making this important decision. Three of the top companies that make hospital beds have been selected to bring their products to the hospital for review and testing. Beds, stretchers and recliners under consideration will be in the front lobby of the hospital with demonstrations. Some of the bed features under consideration include: 1. The ability to weigh a patient and send the information to the clinical record 2. The ability to communicate important information directly to the nurse 3. Rotation features that assist the patient in turning The bed fairs will take place between 7:00am and 2:00pm, Tuesday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 7; and Tuesday, October 20

Sheldon received his B.S. in Biology from The College of Idaho and his Ph.D. in Entomology: Insect Ecology from the University of Illinois. After 36 years of teaching at Eastern College and Messiah College in Pennsylvania, he retired to Whidbey Island in 2007 when he became active in Whidbey Audubon Society as a board member and field trip chair. He still leads several field trips each year as well as teaching lessons for the Birds of Whidbey Class on avian physiology, shorebirds and a mixed bag including geese, swans, pheasants and doves. Since 2009, Sheldon has been a board officer at Pacific Rim Institute and is on the steering committee for Whidbey Island Theological Studies. The Thursday evening program is free and the public is welcome. It is at the Coupeville Recreation Hall at 901 Alexander Street. Doors open at 7:00pm for refreshments and a short meeting. The program begins at 7:30pm. On October 17, Sheldon will lead an on-theground introduction field trip to PRI’s central campus, its public trails, prairie restoration work and the birds of its prairie and forest.

October 1 - October 7, 2015

VR-61 Gives Veteran a Helping Hand A volunteer crew from Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 61 (VR-61) “Islanders” pitched in with Habitat for Humanity of Island County on Sept. 15, 2015 to help Navy veteran Mike and Patty Dayley with their modest mobile home they purchased a year ago after their marriage. “The skirting on the home was destroyed and the front and back porches were in a poor and unsafe condition,” said Sadi Foltz, Development Director for Habitat. “The Navy group helped demolish the skirting and replaced it. Volunteering were Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Victore Manaor, Naval Aircrewman (Mechanical) 2nd Class (NAC/AW) Jasmine Clock, Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Sylvia Mora, Aviation Structural Mechanic 3rd Class June Santa Maria, Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class (SW) Jessica Taylor, Naval Aircrewman (Mechanical) 1st Class (NAC/ AW) Tim Cossey, Aviation Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class Keith Armstrong, and Aviation Maintenance Administrationman 2nd Class Mark Julaton, Aviation Maintenance Administrationman Airman Daniell Thomas. According to Cossey, who is a VR-61 C-40A Crew Chief NATOPS Instructor, the group put in eight hours removing deteriorated skirting; building and installing framework for the new skirting; and installing stairs for the front deck. “It was an honor to help a shipmate and Cold War veteran,” said Cossey. “Mr. Dayley

and I served in some of the same areas back in the 80's. It was nice hearing someone else's sea stories that I could relate to. There was a sense of pride and we all had fun giving back to someone who had served and deserved our help.” The project was also made possible with a grant from Home Depot said Foltz. Sailors from VR-61 work on replacing old skirting around a mobile home during a Habitat for Humanity of Island County project on September 15 for a Navy veteran.

Flight Operations Schedule at OLF Coupeville: Sept. 27 to Oct. 3 Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) operations for aircraft stationed at NAS Whidbey Island are scheduled to occur at the Outlying Field (OLF) in Coupeville, Wash., from Monday, September 28 to Friday Oct. 2, 2015.

Flight schedules for OLF Coupeville will continue to be released weekly for community planning purposes. Comments, including noise complaints can be directed to NAS Whidbey Island’s comment line at (360) 257-6665, or via e-mail: comments.NASWI@navy.mil.

On Monday and Friday, September 28 and October 2, FCLPs are scheduled midafternoon. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 29 through October 1, FCLPs are scheduled in the evening.

Comments regarding flight operations should note the time an event occurred, where exactly the event occurred and as much detail as possible about what was seen. We also ask that people leave their contact information for our tracking purposes. All other questions can be directed to NAS Whidbey Island Public Affairs Office at (360) 257-2286.

The FCLP tempo is driven by the Fleet Replacement Squadron student training curriculum and pre-deployment carrier EA-18G Growler squadron flight qualifications. It can also fluctuate due to weather, maintenance and operational requirements. NAS Whidbey Island remains open continuously to support flight operations and training.

The Navy’s OLF at Coupeville is a critical national security asset that provides essential training for Navy pilots based at NAS Whidbey Island to conduct safe and effective aircraft carrier flight operations around the world.

The Fifth Annual NWLA Gala: Una Festa Siciliana The Northwest Language Academy and Cultural Center is pleased to announce its fifth annual gala, to take place on Saturday, October 17 at 5:00pm, at a private residence on Sunlight Beach, Whidbey Island. Taking in the sunset and mountain views from the windows of this gracious home, guests from around the world will join to celebrate and support all that NWLA has accomplished in this past year and bask in the vibrant atmosphere of Sicilian culture. All proceeds will directly support NWLA’s mission of inspiring cultural understanding by bringing language and cultural education and events to the Pacific Northwest community. Funds raised at this event build on a strong scholarship fund for NWLA’s youth programs, including the Global Cultures Program for middle school students. The evening will feature a series of buffet stations boasting traditional Southern Italian foods, including handmade pasta, baked goods accompanied by a selection of Italian olive oils, an abundance of antipasti, and fine wine. The event is hosted by popular Whidbey Island M.C. Jim Freeman, who is sure to provide plenty of entertainment and other surprises. NWLA is honored to welcome tenor Frank Poretta and soprano Jennifer Poretta, whose belief in NWLA’s mission encouraged them to travel from New York to offer a program of Neopolitan art song and operatic selections on a Sicilian theme. Mr. Poretta has gained international recognition as an important lirico spinto tenor, with appearances in leading theaters including the Metropolitan Opera, Berlin State Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Hamburg State Opera, and many more. His repertoire includes some of the most demanding roles in the tenor literature, and he has won special acclaim as Calaf in Turandot, the role of his Metropolitan Opera debut, as well as the title role of Verdi’s Otello. Ms. Poretta is an accomplished soprano and has

sung as a soloist throughout Western and Eastern Europe and North America. Her operatic roles include many of opera’s greatest heroines including the title roles in Tosca, Madam Butterfly, and Suor Angelica. A versatile artist, Ms. Poretta has also appeared in oratorios, recitals, and off-Broadway, and is also an accomplished pianist. NWLA is also thrilled to welcome back mezzo soprano Eleni Matos, whose encore performance testifies to her passion for NWLA’s work. Ms. Matos has received universal acclaim and been hailed as a winner in an unprecedented thirty-four vocal competitions, including the Maria Callas International competition of Greece, the Luciano Pavaroti International competition, and the Queen Elisabeth International competition of Belgium. She has sung throughout the world under the batons of such renowned conductors as Daniel Bareboim, Zubin Mehta, and Leonard Slatkin. The three artist will offer a lighthearted musical program during the event’s cocktail hour, and a more formal performance later in the evening, singing both solo and ensemble pieces including selections from Cavalleria Rusticana, Il Tabarro, Madama Butterfly, and more. NWLA is committed to providing the Whidbey Island and surrounding communities with cross-cultural experiences and global education, including world cuisine, diverse performances, foreign language classes for adults and children, exchange programs, and summer camps—all at an affordable cost. Fundraisers like the annual gala event make it possible for NWLA to ensure that these valuable cross-cultural experiences are available to all members of our community. For more information, or to purchase tickets please contact (360) 321-2101 or e-mail info@ nwlanguageacademy.com. Overnight accommodations are available at NWLA’s Guesthouse; please inquire.

Life Tributes Betty Jane Vesey Gewald If you met Betty Gewald, you remember her, perhaps as a steadfast believer in books and daily siestas; a world traveler who studied each country’s history and culture; a risk taker who went scuba diving on her 80th and Harley riding on her 90th birthdays; a passionate aficionado and collector of Asian art, especially blue and white porcelain; an accomplished accountant and business woman who worked until her stroke this year; an involved community member with limitless energy and strong opinions; a gardener who thrilled at the survival of each flower and tree after the frost; an animal lover whose pets were lucky indeed; a fierce competitor in a game of cards; and the family matriarch, adored and revered in perpetuity. She was a powerhouse of a woman whose peaceful passing September 19, 2015, surrounded by family, leaves a giant void in the lives of those she has left behind. She used to say she was an “army brat, born on the hinge of the Golden Gate� at Presidio Army Base May 3, 1923 to parents Captain Robert Hale Vesey and Effie May Bridewell. She told stories of growing up in many memorable cities, but it was in high school in Manila, Philippines, where she met a maverick of a man, Harold William (Bill) Gewald. He wooed her for years; she finally succumbed to his many marriage proposals and they wed December 21, 1944, just before she graduated from UCLA with a degree in chemistry. Bill and Betty returned to the Philippines after World War II and despite the numerous innovative businesses they jointly owned and operated throughout Asia, they believed their finest accomplishments to be their family. Theirs was an incredible partnership, and even the death of Bill Gewald March 5, 2002 could not sever their union. As a museum volunteer and historian, as a member of the Coupeville Park and Recreation Committee, and in multiple community capacities, Betty Gewald contributed greatly to the town of Coupeville, where she and Bill lived for over 25 years in the family home his great grandfather built in the late 1800’s. She loved Whidbey Island! She loved most deeply, though, her family, who survives her: elder “seesta,� Jeanette Vesey West; children Robert, Tony and Jeanette; daughters-in-law Lea and Dona; niece Gretchen and nephews Dan and John; grandchildren Christopher, Nicholas, Lauren, Matthew, Amanda, Derek, and Claudia; and great grandchildren Marin, Porter and Eli. Her legacy lives on. Celebrate Betty Gewald’s life with us at the Coupeville Library, 1pm October 3, 2015. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Friends of the Coupeville Library in Betty Vesey Gewald’s name. She would love that. Selamat Djalan, Mom! Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or condolences please visit Betty’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome. com.

Jill Denise Carlino Jill Denise Carlino was born November 6, 1936 in Lancashire, England. She attended the Royal Academy of Arts and worked as an actress at the Manchester Library Theatre. She then moved from stage to films, working in production for many famous English and Italian directors. In 1973, she moved to the US and married screenwriter, Lewis Carlino. An adventuresome soul, Jilly, as she was known to her friends, was a scholar of John Muir’s life. Her love of wild places drew her to actively campaign for the preservation of old growth forests in British Columbia, Canada, where she also had a home. She travelled extensively around the world and was equally at home with princes and paupers. She died peacefully August 25. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Lewis Carlino, two step-children, Lewis John and Alessa, her brother, Glenn Chadwick and several nephews. All are welcome to come and help celebrate her life at the Whidbey Institute October 3. The service will be at 2pm. Please allow for shuttle time from the parking lot. A reception follows. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Sierra Club, which was founded by John Muir, www.sierraclub.org would be a nice way to honor her life. Puzzle 1 (Medium, difficulty rating 0.46)

Students Save A Day without Meat Many people cannot imagine ever becoming a vegetarian and living a meat-free lifestyle. The prospect of eating a large salad sans the chicken or steak (albeit delicious), may seem quite daunting and boring. The truth is a vegetarian diet is anything BUT boring. If transitioning from a meat eater to a plant eater, it could actually become interesting. You have the ability to reimagine all your favorite dishes that use meat and create them with other plant based ingredients. Vegetarians also cite research, studies, and some doctors’ advice when asked about the reason for their meat-free diet. According to a spokesperson for the American Heart Association, Dr. Rachel Johnson, fatty red meat, as well as those which are processed, have higher levels of saturated fat in them and can therefore be contributing factors in increased LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, as well as put a person at risk for developing coronary heart disease. While I am sure there are other factors which may contribute to these two conditions, it’s always prudent and necessary to consult a primary care physician prior to embarking on any dietary or lifestyle change. Vegetables are not only tasty they also provide many health benefits, in particular the very fibrous veggies. They act as a digestive ‘broom’ helping to ‘sweep’ food through the tract and keep the alimentary canal and the supporting organs from potentially backing up. I wondered though, are all vegetarians the same? Are there some who eat things that aren’t necessarily considered meat (yet) and if so do they still fall under the heading of ‘vegetarian’? Well, there are different types of human herbivores, which are divided into the following categories: Semi Vegetarians: This includes people who are cutting back on red meat. Some are called pollo vegetarians and they eat only chicken in addition to vegetarian food stuffs. A pesco pollo vegetarian is someone who also eats fish as well as chicken. Lacto ovo vegetarians: This category is reserved for most vegetarians in the United States, apparently, and people who live this dietary lifestyle avoid red meat, poultry and fish but will eat dairy products and eggs. Lacto Vegetarian: Vegetarians who fit into this category avoid the consumption of red meat, fish, poultry, and eggs but will include dairy products in their diet. Vegan: People who live this lifestyle refrain from consumption and use of any animal products or animal by-products. This includes cosmetics, hygiene products, clothing, food, accessories etc. Some even avoid honey. It is said being a vegan is a ‘lifestyle’ though when I sit and think about it, partaking in anything on a regular basis, whatever it may be, would it not be considered a ‘lifestyle’? I digress. In any event, with fall breezing into town, warm foods will replace cool summer salads and wraps, especially in the form of soups and stews. There will be a plethora of gourds of every sort. A few weeks ago I happened across a recipe for apple acorn squash soup. Sounds like it might be a little on the sweet side but it was divine. It used coconut milk for blending and this gave it an almost exotic kick. Truly a unique soup! Another item I tried my hand at was veggie nuggets. I used to eat a commercial version when I was a teenager and lived overseas, but alas, I have yet to find anything like it here. So I made my own. It consists of boiling white potatoes, finely chopping up onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and adding corn and peas to this. I sautĂŠed these until they were tender and all their wonderful inner goodness and flavor had escaped from within and was worn tastefully on their exterior. Mix and mash all of these together, dip in egg and bread crumbs and then fry to golden perfection! Just goes to show what can be done when you trade meat for

vegetables. Lasagna is another prime example of a dish which can be made entirely of vegetables. A completely vegan friendly one is easy to turn out, by using alternative non-dairy products. Anything could be substituted out in favor of a meatless lasagna. Zucchini, eggplant, yellow squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes. Anything! Vegetarianism isn’t bland. You have the option of so many plant foods to choose from when preparing and making food. A rainbow of colorful vegetables can be consumed and each one has its own identifying flavor. Chicken is chicken and typically always tastes as such too. However, take a sweet potato, bake it and top with brown sugar and it’s sweet and rooty. Put sweet potato in a soup and it becomes earthy and smooth. It’s all about how you prepare and cook your meals. Remember, when creating anything in the kitchen, you are the master and commander of the oven, fridge, stove, freezer, microwave, anything which makes food happen. When you’re in charge of your meals it can be flavored just how you like and you get exactly what you want out of a meal. So you see, it’s all in the wrist – by what you put into a meal that makes it delicious. October 1 of every year is ear-marked as World Vegetarian Day, an implementation put into place by the North American Vegetarian Society in 1977. Endorsed by the International Vegetarian Union, this day serves to draw attention to the benefits of living a vegetarian lifestyle. Let’s celebrate in due fashion and eat something made entirely of vegetables! I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to eat for World Vegetarian Day. I included a recipe for meatless lasagna which I found on www.allrecipes.com. Email comments, information and of course recipes to me, because as always, I love to hear from you so Let’s Dish!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The rules work in your favor on the 1st. The situation on the 2nd and 3rd is a win-win. Journeys on the 5th take unanticipated turns. Allow time for detours and delays. The same applies from after lunch the 7th until noon the 8th. The best-laid courses of action quite likely go off-kilter. Those days and times produce disappointing results. Make no commitments or decisions that can’t easily be changed.

Chicken Little & the Astrologer By Wesley Hallock

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’re in your happy zone the 24th-25th. Oddball chats are a special delight. As if fixing all the loose ends that keep popping up isn’t work enough, the 26th-27th may tempt you to add something new to your load. Before you agree, ask yourself whether you’re creating more problems than you’ll solve. Be diplomatic on the 28th. Ditto the 30th. If harmony breaks down, the blame won’t be on you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Tug-o’-war on the 1st? Your challenger is as stubborn as you and much more likely to win. You decide. Knowledge gained from someone’s slip of the tongue on the 2nd could benefit you on the 3rd. The 5th demands flexibility (always a challenge to your inflexible nature!) because meeting times may change and outcomes may surprise. Likewise from after lunch the 7th until noon the 8th. Logic fails on those days.Â

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A risk pays off on the 1st. Your genius for juggling several tasks at once serves you well the 2nd and 3rd. Don’t force issues on the 4th; you’re swimming against the tide. Plans easily go awry on the 5th. Appointments get changed, so schedule loosely. The same applies from early PM the 7th until lunchtime the 8th. Routines done in those slots may need adjustments later. Postpone binding decisions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) On the 1st a good start to the day ends with a challenge to your patience. All lights are green on the 2nd and 3rd and life treats you right. The 5th requires great flexibility around plans and meet-ups. Expect changes and delays. The same is true on the 7th from after lunch until noon the 8th. Those periods are less likely to produce good results. Postpone signings and critical decisions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The 1st sees a problem solved early, but may end in a spat over money if you’re not careful. You’ll work it out on the 2nd and all ends well on the 3rd. Your natural ability to

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Life treats you to a luxury on the 1st. A little fun takes the drudgery out of work on the 2nd. On the 3rd life could take a surprise romantic turn. The 4th sees you ministering to work and spouse, with spouse needing the most attention. The 5th favors openended activities that lack fixed expectations. The same is true from early PM the 7th until noon the 8th. Rigid planning goes awry. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Warm fuzzies at home get you off to a great start on the 1st. Your practical approach to your responsibilities draws mixed response on the 2nd and surprise support on the 3rd. The 4th combines work with play. Projects begun the 5th will disappoint later. The same is true beginning early PM the 7th until noon the 8th. Save those slots for mindless routines such as house cleaning. Make NO important decisions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Overindulgence could cost you on the 1st. On the 2nd people and circumstances conspire against you to their sorrow. Your creative and original thinking wins out. Do your important shopping on the 4th. Purchases on the 5th will fail to satisfy. Likewise from early PM the 7th until noon the 8th. Use the time for goof-off things and sign no documents in those slots. The best-laid plans may go astray.Â

drift along with circumstances comes in handy the 5th, when plans don’t work as anticipated. The same is true from after lunch the 7th until noon the 8th. Delay making important decisions.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) A stressed-out friend needs your support on the 1st. An idea of yours that is criticized on the 2nd finds support on the 3rd. On the 4th you likely get your way, payback for all the good you do. Expect the unexpected on the 5th. Changes of plan are quite possible all day. The same applies from early PM the 7th to noon the 8th. Touchy-feely activities are favored over business. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Flattery gets you the right kind of attention the 1st. On the 2nd a friend shoulders some of your burden. You might return their favor on the 3rd. On the 4th you may be able to pay down an old debt. The 5th is for window shopping only. Purchases will fail to satisfy. Ditto beginning early PM on the 7th until noon on the 8th. Make no binding decisions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t let your temper ruin the end of a good day on the 1st. On the 2nd your spouse or partner proves they really are on your side. Unfinished business concludes nicely on the 3rd. Personal time with a friend on the 4th fulfills you both. Allow leeway for emergencies on the 5th; cancellations are likely. Likewise from lunch on the 7th until lunch on the 8th. Flexibility is a must. Š 2015, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved

Film Shorts Courtesy of Cascadia Weekly

By Carey Ross A Walk in the Woods: A harmless cinematic take on Bill Bryson’s harmless book, with a cast (Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, Emma Thompson, Nick Offerman) that might just elevate it into a decent day spent at the movies.  (R • 1 hr. 38 min.) Black Mass: Johnny Depp plays Whitey Bulger in a critically lauded performance that might just rescue his career from the brink that playing a pirate and whatever he is in all those Tim Burton movies have pushed it to. Welcome back, Mr. Depp.  (R • 2 hrs. 2 min.)

The Perfect Guy: This is obviously a Lifetime movie that somehow tricked its way onto the big screen–and I am perfectly all right with that.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 40 min.) Sicario: The Drug War and the price it exacts along the U.S./Mexican border is the subject of director Denis Villeneuve’s latest, and he enlists Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro to tell this gritty tale.  (R • 2 hrs.)

Everest: This docudrama starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Robin Wright, and more covers the same (terrifying) territory as Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" about the 1996 climbing season on Everest and the blizzard that cost eight climbers their lives.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 1 min.) The Green Inferno: Even torture porn has its Godfather, and that is Eli Roth. This time his unsuspecting group of attractive young people is saving Amazonian rainforests when they cross paths with a tribe of cannibals. One can only assume that cannibalism results.  (R • 1 hr. 43 min.) Hotel Transylvania 2: On the one hand, this animated sequel has Adam Sandler (kiss of death) attached to it. On the other, it's a kids movie with a Halloweenish theme, and how much damage can Sandler do as just one member of an ensemble cast? It's not like he wrote the script or voices the main character. Oh wait...  (1 hr. 29 min.) The Intern: This comedy finds Robert De Niro starring as a business owner and widower who somehow (I'm sure you'll probably have to suspend your disbelief to buy this plot conceit) becomes an intern at Anne Hathaway's fashion website. I suppose bigger crimes in Hollywood have been committed by those far less qualified than De Niro and Hathaway.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 1 min.) Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials: The second chapter in the "Maze Runner" series, this is the latest in YA action-adventure movie franchises to teach me that that if teenagers can save all of civilization, they can probably also end it. Think about it.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 9 min.) Pawn Sacrifice: Tobey Maguire (excellent actor, my former movie-star boyfriend) plays chess prodigy Bobby Fischer at the moment he challenges his Soviet counterpart to a winner-take-all match at a time when the United States was on the brink of Cold War and Fischer himself was on the brink of madness.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 54 min.)

The Martian: Based on a bestselling book (by Andy Weir), directed by a master of large-scale, cinematic sci-fi (Ridley Scott), starring a universally competent and compelling actor (Matt Damon) and an excellent ensemble cast (Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig), this is the sci-fi epic you’re looking for. ď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ť (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 14 min.) The Visit: M. Night Shyamalan scales back and embraces a horror/comedy vibe in an effort to resurrect a career that also has a distinct horror/comedy vibe to it. Here’s hoping he has another success because all of my “I see dead peopleâ€? jokes are pretty tired. Give a girl some new material, M. Night. ď‚Ťď‚Ť (PG-13 • 1 hr. 34 min.) War Room: A Christian movie for people who like Christian movies. Probably has a plot, possibly some prayer, definitely some kind of faith-based messaging. Do with that what you will. ď‚Ť (PG • 2 hrs.) For Oak Harbor and Anacortes theaters showings, please see www.fandango.com. For Blue Fox showings see ad on this page.
