with Jim Freeman

Dad always liked Winston Churchill. Probably because Dad saw Churchill's famous Iron Curtain speech at Westminster College in 1946, or because, like Winston, Dad liked paraprosdokians.

Thanks to Whidbey Weekly reader Jo Evans, no relation to Bob Evans, the Ohio sausage king, for this excellent review of those figures of speech who resemble Cracker Jacks. There is always a surprise inside! 1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it. 2. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. 3. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. 4. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. 5. In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of emergency, notify...", I answered "a doctor." 6. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. 7. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. Tommy Dorsey My oldest friend, Movie Mike, remarked the other day in an e-mail, which seems remarkable in itself, that he had just finished reading Peter Levinson's excellent 1999 effort, Trumpet Blues, the biography of Harry James. Knowing our Sno-Isle Regional Library system has everything imaginable available, I went to their web site at www.sno-isle.org to order what I knew would be a great read. Included in my search for the life of Harry James, I noticed Levinson had also written biographies of Fred Astaire and Tommy Dorsey. So, being an A-team member of all things impulsive, I ordered both. Within forty-eight hours, my requests were ready at the Freeland branch for pick-up. The page which precedes Levinson's acknowledgments in Tommy Dorsey: Livin' In a Great Big Way (2005) features one sentence, a fifteen word quote by Frank Sinatra—“The two most important people in my life have been my mother and Tommy Dorsey.� On page one, chapter 1, Music, Music, Music, author Levinson quotes Buddy Morrow, also a trombonist for Dorsey, and who subsequently led the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra after 1979— �You take Jackie Gleason and his excesses, Frank Sinatra and his excesses, Buddy Rich and his excesses—put them all together, you'll find Tommy Dorsey.� Mom raised us kids on swing music. If she was not playing her 45 rpm of Tiger Rag by Benny, Teddy, Gene, and Lionel, we were listening to Glenn Miller's Pennsylvania 6-5000, Jimmy Dorsey's So Rare, or brother Tommy's, I'm Getting Sentimental Over You. If I heard Dorsey's sad trombone playing, I knew Dad, the traveling sales guy, would soon be en route to the airport. If I heard Benny's up tempo clarinet, I knew Mom and I would soon be vacuuming and moving furniture in the living room. If I heard Vaughn Monroe, I knew I could go outside and play. On page seven of the Dorsey bio, Levinson quotes a story shared by Dr. Frank Riordan, Jr., a noted chemical engineer who studied clarinet with Tom Dorsey, the strict father of Jimmy and Tommy, and the source of the story. “Another thing he told me, and a lot of people didn't believe this story—but Mr. Dorsey was not a liar—was that one day he locked Tommy in the boys' bedroom to ensure that he would continue practicing. He unlocked the door and looked in. Tommy was playing Flight of the Bumblebee, lying on his bed with his head on the pillow. He'd taken a couple of rubber bands and wrapped them around the bottom of the slide of his trombone and put his foot in between the rubber bands and the end of the tubing. And there he was, using his foot to

move the slide, reading a magazine and playing the piece.� Levinson's other classic books include September in the Rain: The Life of Nelson Riddle (2001), and Puttin' on the Ritz: The Life of Fred Astaire (2009). In 2008, Mr. Levinson passed away in Malibu, California, after retiring from a fifty year career as a jazz publicist and cherished friend of many of the greatest artists of our time. If you like swing music enough to want to feel like you are in the band, get to the library or hit up a book store for anything this man of many talents has written. Glass Alley Cafe Today, we had a most pleasurable conversation with Eli, our fave waiter/chef/nice guy/ great dad from Dog House days, and a baker's dozen years at Paul's Village Yummyeria, then Mo's Pub, and now at Glass Alley Cafe, located next to Freeland's busiest four way stop, at Harbor and Main. Imagine thirty years ago, here in Freeland, we just had stop flaps. That is correct. Flaps. No signs. No lights. Just four rubber letters, S-TO-P, rising out of the asphalt. Sometimes, it pays to look down.

Eli talked of his learning curve as a chef and go-to-guy for some of our fave locales, seasoned with a multitude of special Langley moments. Eli talked of the joys of jogging, and the pains of pavement. Most of all, Eli talked of his sweet, four-and-a-half year young daughter. Some of the pumpkins carved for Halloween have broad smiles, but Eli's smile when talking of his daughter has all them pumpkins beat.

“She wants to be a cat. I think I'll make her some sort of litter box to take along. Last year, she wanted me to dress up, so I put on a white t-shirt, squirted some mustard on one side, and some ketchup on the other, stuffed a pillow in my pants, and we were on our way.�

“What are you, Daddy?� his daughter asked. “This is what I am going to look like when we get home tonight, 'cuz I'm a couch potato.� Do kids get any more excited at Halloween than any other time of year? Me thinks so, at least our two girls did, and one still does. Our Crystal treats Halloween as the kick-off of The Holiday Season. Her celebration begins Halloween and ends on brother Trevor's birthday, January 3. Those of us who remember our childhoods, or portions thereof, may recall such moments of ecstasy, going door-to-door, without supervision, cramming one's pillow case full of wrapped sugar.

Our parents never asked us how much candy we had eaten before we got home. Of course, many of us missed school the next day, or, if we did go, we went to the nurse's office to get another Snickers. Yes, seeing Eli also reminded me of the joys of the Dog House Tavern, memories forever scattered in my once or twice Ballard Bitter infested liver. I remember when I asked Dog House legend and owner Pete Jacobs, back in the early 80s', which of his draft beers had the least yeast. Say that fast three times. “Why do you want to know, Freeman?� “Well, Dr. Jangaard told me I was allergic to yeast, but he added that if I was going to have a beer now and then, and heavy on the now, I should have a quality beer, with good yeast.� “Robert is absolutely correct. Ballard bitter would be your best yeast. I'll bring you a pint.� Later that night, I learned if I ever again had two pints of Ballard Bitter, with the quality yeast, my basset hound Norton Oliver would have to walk me home. Fortunately, Norton was wearing his license when we were pulled over. I, however, was on yeast, on all fours, wearing Norton's leash. “Sorry, officer, it's been a woof night.� To read past columns of On Track in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www. whidbeyweekly.com.

Bits & Pieces As a Hospital Commissioner, Georgia Gardner is a trained and talented asset for Whidbey General. Her opponent leaves us with many unanswered questions and raises serious doubts about what he would really contribute to the board. Given this contrast, the choice is clear: we need to keep Georgia Gardner as our Hospital Commissioner for district #2. Bob and Merran Gray, Freeland

Editor,

Letters to the Editor Editor, We support Georgia Gardner for commissioner on the board of Whidbey General Hospital. She has contributed to our community her entire adult life. Her public service includes environmental and historical preservation, consumer protection and helping those less fortunate. The Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church recently appointed her to their Building Committee. In that role she oversees the acquisition, decommissioning and remodeling of Puget Sound churches. Georgia works with Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse (CADA) and the Island County Historical Society. She assists fellow CPAs during tax season and covers their vacations. She has helped small businesses get started and grow profitable as well as taught seminars and appeared as an expert witness in court cases. Georgia has been a dedicated Commissioner for Whidbey General Hospital since 2012. She is a Certified Public Accountant (as well as a Chartered Accountant in Canada). She has been a business professional for 35 years. As the owner of her own full service accounting firm she worked successfully with clients on both sides of the border. In 2001 Georgia won the Washington Society of CPAs’ President’s Award, its most prestigious accolade. She served in the Washington State Legislature in both the Senate and the House (1996 to 2003) representing the 42nd District. As a legislator, she received awards for her work with mental health, low-income housing, public health and the developmentally disabled. Georgia’s opponent has done a little of this and a little of that, but never actually stuck with anything it seems. The biography on his website (www.electborncompaign.com) is vague and subjective giving very little specific and verifiable information on his education and previous employment. The profile page on his blog (www.wghblogger.com) is blank except to inform us that he is male. His Linkedin page lists only one employer. For a person who claims to be a “transparency advocate� his background is very opaque. In order to evaluate a person’s ideas one needs to know the person’s credentials and if his claims to expertise are valid.

I see that Rob Born is running for hospital board commissioner, and he has my support. I met Rob when I went to the Island County Voluntary Lawyer Program over a domestic matter. Normally the most the program provides is a counseling session or two, but he saw I needed more help. Rob met with me a half-dozen times, helped me complete my paperwork, brought papers to my house for signing, appeared with me in court, and even personally went to my ex-husband’s home and served papers on him. When we faced costly mandatory mediation, Rob instead invited me and my ex to his home, where he helped us reach an agreement on a parenting plan. Rob provided all his time, travel and effort for free, and he got me and my children a good outcome. Rob is a very hardworking, caring, and compassionate person. He’ll serve us well on the hospital board. Alisa Reafs, Oak Harbor

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts Presents Dead Man’s Cell Phone An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafĂŠ... A stranger at the next table who has had enough... And a dead man—with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative comedy by playwright Sarah Ruhl, recipient of a MacArthur “Geniusâ€? Grant and Pulitzer Prize Finalist for her play The Clean House. It is a work about how we memorialize the dead - and how that remembering changes us; it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. In the words of director Phil Jordan, “Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a play that looks deep into our hearts and finds plenty to laugh about. Sarah Ruhl has a gift for telling the truth about human beings in a way that is both serious and funny. No other modern playwright captures the human spirit – in all its foibles and strength – in the way she is able to do. The play follows the journey of Jean, a lonely woman who finds her way through a dangerous landscape with only a dead man’s cell phone to guide her. Part thriller, part comedy, and completely engaging, Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a modern play that feels like a mix of classical tragedy and psychological drama, infused in laughter from beginning to end.â€?

Sarah Ruhl’s plays have been produced at theaters around the country, including Lincoln Center Theater, the Goodman Theatre, Arena Stage, South Coast Repertory, Yale Repertory Theatre, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, among others, and internationally. She is the recipient of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize (for The Clean House, 2004), the Helen Merrill Emerging Playwrights Award, and the Whiting Writers’ Award. The Clean House was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2005.

The Island County All Hazard Warning Siren Will Sound During Statewide Earthquake Drill The All Hazards warning sirens on coastal Washington will be activated Thursday, October 15 in a special test that is part of the statewide Great Washington ShakeOut earthquake drill. This test, which begins at 10:15am, will include the real sound of the siren – along with messages indicating it is a test. Typically, monthly tests include the playing of the Westminster chimes, followed by an abbreviated voice message. It’s important to test out the real siren sounds so the public is familiar with its sound and local governments can use it as a training opportunity. Island County, along with all other counties with the All Hazard Alert Broadcast sirens, will participate except for Whatcom County, which has opted out at this time but may participate in a future year. The Great Washington ShakeOut features a statewide “drop, cover and hold on� drill on the same time and date. As part of the Great Washington ShakeOut, participants are encouraged to participate in the drill and then take at least one additional step to prepare themselves and their families for earthquakes. Washington will join its West Coast neighbors in Oregon, Idaho, California and British Columbia, as well as 35 other states, in one of the largest earthquake drills ever. As of September 22, more than 760,000 people have signed up to participate in Washington State. Last year, more than 1 million people participated. More than 23 million people worldwide are expected to be part of the ShakeOut earthquake drill.

Two free workshops are being offered by Senior Services of Island County for individuals, family members, friends and caregivers of those, 18 years of age and older, who live with pain or diabetes. Both workshops meet for 2 1/2 hours, once a week, for six weeks, offering practical skills to deal with your condition. “Living Well with Chronic Pain� will be offered at the Freeland Library, 1:00pm to 3:30pm, October 15 - November 19. “Living Well with Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes� will be offered at the Coupeville Library,1:00pm to 3:30pm, November 3 - December 8. Both series were developed by Stanford University and have proven effective in helping individuals to become better self-managers of their condition. Workbooks are provided. Registration is required.

Rural Lands Survey and Public Meetings Island County Planning and Community Development is in the midst of updating the current Island County Comprehensive Plan. Updating the Comprehensive Plan provides an opportunity for a countywide discussion about how the County should grow over the next 20 years. In an effort to provide additional opportunities for public input on the Comprehensive Plan Update, three focus group meetings were held to discuss rural land use in March 2015. Planning & Community Development has developed a public outreach strategy to follow up on the concerns heard during these meetings. Many of the concerns were centered on rural businesses, event centers, and agri-tourism. The intent of the public outreach is to gain a better understanding of the community’s vision of rural land uses, the information to then be used to make valuable changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The second step of the public outreach strategy is a Rural Lands Survey. On September 8, 2015, 800 surveys were mailed out to randomly selected addresses in rural parts of

The survey asks questions related to rural character, quality of life and rural land uses. The survey will not be used to directly create regulatory changes, but be used to help inform and focus discussions at four public meetings to be held in October. This survey and the meetings in October will help to inform the County on how the community of Island County defines rural character. If you received an invitation to take the survey in the mail, please follow the link provided in the letter to complete the survey online. If you have any questions regarding completing the survey or surrounding the public meetings, please call Planning at: (360) 679-7807.

Local Business News The 12 Weeks of Christmas Campaign

We would like to build on the concept of warm welcomes and take our city’s hospitality a step further....On behalf of the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber Board of Directors, the staff and myself, I invite and encourage all the greater Oak Harbor area businesses to join in the 12 Weeks of Christmas campaign. Our intent with this campaign is to help promote a welcoming shopping experience in Oak Harbor that is more inviting than ever, not only to local consumers but also to visitors, attracting new shoppers to our city from the entire island and surrounding areas. The 12 Weeks of Christmas campaign commences with the lighting of Oak Harbor establishments. Please join us by lighting your properties—particularly landscaping— with small white lights that remain lit through December. I believe the charming feeling that will result from many similarly-lit properties will help keep local shoppers here, increase foot traffic, make businesses stand out, as well as warmly invite visitors to our fine city. Let’s make Oak Harbor a festive, one-stop shopping destination this holiday season for locals and visitors alike.

Avoid Emotional Investment Decisions

What’s the biggest obstacle to your ability to invest successfully? Is it the ups and downs of the financial markets? Political events? The fact that you weren’t born rich? Actually, the chief hurdle you face is something over which you have control: your own emotions. Your emotions can lead to a variety of ill-advised investment behaviors, such as these: • Cutting losses – Declines in the financial markets can lead some investors to try to “cut their lossesâ€? by selling investments whose price has declined. Yet, when prices have dropped, it may actually be a good time to buy investments, not sell them, especially when the investments are still fundamentally sound. • Chasing performance – In the investment world, the flip side of “fearâ€? is “greed.â€? Just as some investors are propelled by fear of loss, others are motivated by quick, big gains. They may pursue “hotâ€? investments, only to be disappointed when the sizzle quickly fizzles. Instead of trying to “scoreâ€? that one big winner, you may be better off spreading your investment dollars among a range of vehicles – stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on. While diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it may help reduce the impact of market volatility on your portfolio. • Focusing on the short term – When the market is down, you might get somewhat upset when you view your monthly investment statements. But any individual statement is just a snapshot in time; if you were to chart your investment results over a period of 10, 15 or 20 years, you’d see the true picture of how your portfolio is doing – and, in all likelihood, that picture would look better than a statement or two you received during a down market. In any case, don’t overreact to short-term downturns by making hasty “buyâ€? or “sellâ€? decisions. Instead, stick with a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. • Heading to the investment “sidelinesâ€? – Some people get so frustrated over market volatility that they throw up their hands and head to the investment “sidelinesâ€? until “things calm down.â€? And it’s certainly true that, when owning stocks, there are no guarantees; you do risk losing some, or all, of your investment. But if you jump in and out of the market to “escape“ volatility, you may take on an even bigger risk – the risk of losing some of the growth you’ll need to reach your goals. Consider this: If you had invested $10,000 in a package of stocks mimicking the S&P 500 in December 1979, your investment would have grown to more than $426,000 by December 2013. But if you had missed just the 10 best days of the market during that time, your $10,000 would only have grown to less than $206,000 – a difference of about $220,000, according to Ned Davis Research, a leading investment research organization. The bottom line? Staying invested over the long term can pay off. (Keep in mind, though, that the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and isn’t meant to depict an actual investment. Also, as you’ve no doubt heard, past performance is not a guarantee of future results.) Our emotions are useful in guiding us through many aspects of our lives, but when you invest, you’re better off using your head – and not your heart.

Flight Operations Schedule at OLF Coupeville the Week of Oct. 4 - 10, 2015 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., Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Friday, October 5, 6, 7 and 9, 2015. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 5-7, FCLPs are scheduled in the evening. On Friday, October 9, FCLPs are scheduled in the afternoon.

A view of the NAS Whidbey Island airfield fence looking west shows the dramatic difference between the glare of fixtures awaiting replacement with the new LEDs that focus their light downward.

Base installing energy efficient lighting Anyone driving or walking on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island at night will notice a significant change under way in exterior lighting. Public Works is close to completion of a $600,000 contract to replace existing light fixtures with energy efficient LED models. In addition to an estimated annual energy saving of over $42,000, the new fixtures will have a higher color rendition rating so it is easier to see objects (particularly Sailors in

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. 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.

battle dress uniforms). The work will reduce glare to surrounding areas and improve light distribution and uniformity. The new work will also allow the Navy to receive a $73,000 rebate from Puget Sound Energy. Work has been completed on the Seaplane Base and non-airfield buildings on Ault Field. Work to replace the airfield fence line lighting and buildings on the airfield will be done by mid-October.

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 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.

Operation Oak Harbor I’m spending the final 3 weeks of my campaign going door-to-door in Oak Harbor. Thank you for the fine reception throughout Whidbey Island so far, and I hope to see you soon. And don’t forget: I’m the one running the clean campaign! Rob in 1970, pilot training in Texas.

Rock Salmon = Dogfish who knew? October is one of the most active months of the year with all sorts of hunting seasons and fishing opportunities. The biggest problem most will have is deciding what to do and where to do it. It also can be a little confusing with a lot of different hunting seasons opening and some, particularly waterfowl, which close and then re-open at a later date so be sure to review the regulations. Let’s start off by talking about fishing. Coho fishing around the island has been consistently good. So good in fact some have spotted local Orca pods moving in to feed on them. Unlike humpies, the Coho bite can turn off quickly once the whales arrive and take much longer to start biting again. If you encounter them it might be wise to pick up and try another area. It could be a while before the bite picks up. The west side of the island has been producing the best bite although some have managed to catch a few headed to the Skagit or Snohomish rivers. Possession, Lagoon and Bush points are good bets right now. The fish won’t be around much longer and many will have to switch to the rivers if they want to continue adding salmon to their punch cards. I wish I had more time to fish the rivers this time of the year but this is when I put away my rods and head out into the field for the many hunting opportunities opening this month. If you do decide to continue fishing, I would talk to your local fishing supply shop to get the best advice. Holiday Sports in Burlington is probably the most knowledgeable when it comes to river fishing but don’t forget our local Ace Hardware in Oak Harbor and Freeland for some information as well. I recently received an email from one of my readers who hails from England with an interesting bit of information. I enjoy getting emails like this because I get a little education as well as find myself researching it online. She told me that in England and Europe they refer to Dogfish as Rock Salmon. They use them in fish and chips and, from what I have read, they are quite tasty. They were so popular, now the western Atlantic population is protected because of over fishing. I know what many of you are thinking; how can this be when they are so abundant here? I tried them when I was much younger but have not tried them in recent years and was wondering if anyone else has? If you have, please shoot me an email because I would love to hear how it was. I managed to catch one of the biggest dogfish I have ever seen this past summer and actually thought about cooking it up but released it instead. She thought maybe, if there was enough interest, one of the clubs would like to host a Rock Salmon fish and chip derby. Thanks Christine, I enjoy the emails. Oh the hunting seasons. There are so many to talk about this month. First off, muzzle loader season will close October 11 and, honestly, I haven’t heard a whole lot about

the season. If you have hunted the east side for Elk, I know the rut seemed to pick up at the end of the archery season so muzzle loader should have had at least some of the rut to hunt. Many of the online forums have posted some nice elk and at least a few will fill their freezer once they pick their elk up from the butcher. Modern firearm season will kick off October 17 for most of the state including the island. With so much private land on the island, only a few lucky ones will get permission to hunt on private property. Most of us will have to find an area off the island. When I was younger, areas around the north and south side of the Skagit River were my stomping grounds. This is tough hunting with steep terrain and dense forests. It can get hard to see 20 yards in front of you. One of my favorite places the last 10 or so years has been around Winthrop. Of course, this is a very popular area and you will have to work for your deer but the enormous size of the mules there make it worth it, in my humble opinion. Wherever you decide to go I would do a little pre-season scouting, learn the area and then find ways to get away from hunting pressure because it is what the deer are going to do. October 17 is a good day because it also marks the opening of waterfowl season. Duck hunters will have a quick beginning of the season with a short closure October 21 for ducks that will re-open October 24. Goose hunting will also begin the 17th and close October 29, then re-open again November 7. This is for all geese excluding snow and white fronted geese which opens in Goose Management Area 1 October 17 and runs all the way through January 31 without a break in the action. The Skagit flats are by far the most popular area to hunt. The WDFW manages quite a few areas to hunt including some fields where they have agreements with the land owners around Fir Island. I love Duck hunting and did it for many years around the north and central parts of the island. Crockett Lake is getting hard to find areas to hunt, with so many houses around the lake. Now I head off island. Be sure to have the regulations handy because some areas have some strict restrictions on the number of shotgun shells you can take and areas you can hunt. Whatever you decide to do this month, one thing I can’t stress enough is when you take to the fields or water, be safe. Hunter orange is required in modern firearm season and with so many hunters out there you can never be too cautious. Also, with the rains starting to return, rivers will get swifter and the water will get colder. We all need to ensure we do what we can to return safely home and hunt or fish for years to come. Until next time, keep sharing your stories, reports and I love to see the pictures. I really enjoy learning new things and your comments help a lot. You can email me at: whidbeyfishfurandfowl@gmail.com.

DONALD EUGENE PETERSEN Don Petersen died peacefully in the company of his wife and daughter September 23, 2015 at Fairhaven, the adult home in Oak Harbor who provided care and comfort for Don and his family in the last months of his life. Born March 22, 1932 to Carl and Lucille Petersen in Cedar Bluffs, NE, Don’s childhood was marred with the tragic death of his father. But happy childhood memories of summers with his Aunt Myrtle and Uncle George Boschult on their farm near Fremont, NE were vivid right up until his death. His mother later married August Brei, providing Don and his younger sister with three stepbrothers. After high school, he attended Midland University, served in the Navy, and returned to Omaha to start his long career with Honeywell. Music and church were always part of Don’s life, leading him to the choir at Pella Lutheran Church where he met Marilee Plymale, a soprano who noticed his good looks and good taste in clothes. They were wed January 29, 1966 in Fremont, NE. The couple raised a son and daughter. The years were full of family gatherings and enriched by family vacations. Don’s career prospered. He headed up Honeywell’s commercial sales division in the Midwest. After 29 years he moved on—literally, as he felt a location change

should accompany a career change—to ­­Duct-O-Wire based in Waukesha, WI. He rose to become the company’s Vice President in charge of sales and marketing. During that period he also earned a degree in engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Platteville. Don’s broad interests served him well. An avid reader and life-long learner, he was fascinated with world history and religions. Through the years he sang in school and church choirs, the Navy Bluejacket Choir, barbershop quartets, and even a live musical. He loved to visit, and conversation with Don was sure to be intellectually stimulating, laced with his wealth of knowledge and his sense of humor. In Omaha he rarely missed a Nebraska Cornhuskers game. He attended every one of his son’s soccer games, rain or shine, and he was always in the audience when his children performed in musicals and recitals. His daughter remembers the fun of watching television comedies with her dad, especially the Carol Burnett Show. He loved fishing and he enjoyed golf. He traveled widely in the U.S. and Canada, and he and Marilee enjoyed trips to France and Germany. It was always family that meant the most to Don, so he and Marilee moved to Whidbey Island in 2002 to watch their grandsons grow up. They plugged into community life to serve God and neighbor and added their voices to the Trinity Lutheran Church choir. Don’s death leaves a big hole in the bass section. Besides Marilee, Don leaves his daughter Lisbeth (Libby) Petersen, son-in-law Andrew Hoyer and grandsons Theo and Toby of Seattle; his son Dane, daughter-in-law Stephanie and grandson Merrick of Little Elm, TX; his sister Mary Lou Robertson (Earl) of Knightdale, NC; stepbrothers Clarence Brei (Rosella), Harlan Brei (Dorothy), Merlin Brei (Marilyn); many cousins, nieces and nephews, including Dr. Tim Brei of Seattle and Nathan Brei (Ginny) of Omaha; a special 90-year-old Aunt, Ellen, of Chandler, AZ; and friends who span many states and Canada. Family and friends will gather to remember Don at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland Saturday, October 10, 2015 at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to the Trinity Lutheran Church Endowment or to Hospice of the Northwest in Mt. Vernon. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home, Oak Harbor, WA. To leave condolences or share stories, please visit Don’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.

Delores Foxgrover Delores Foxgrover, 88, died at Whidbey General Hospital Wednesday, September 30, 2015. She was born January 25, 1927 in Fargo, N.D. to Leonard and Regina Saue. After high school, Delores attended college at Iowa State University, where she met her future husband, James Foxgrover. They married after graduation and Jim began his illustrious military career. Delores was a wonderful, flexible wife and mother as the family moved back and forth across the states following Jim’s work. After Jim retired, Delores and he settled in Oak Harbor, WA where they built a home and cared for Delores’ parents. The Foxgrover family enjoyed this area tremendously, taking up boating, snow skiing, and hiking as just a few of their hobbies. The most compelling part of their life was the many wondrous, diverse people they met and the friendships they developed and nurtured. They welcomed many families into their lives, becoming surrogate parents, confidants and helpmates. Delores was truly a gracious and beautiful woman and we will all miss her greatly. Delores is survived by three children, Jim Foxgrover, John Foxgrover and Ann Lee, eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband RADM James Foxgrover and her parents. A funeral mass for Delores will be held on Saturday, October 10 at 10:00 am at St. Augustine Catholic Church with Rev. Paul Pluth, JCL presiding. Recitation of the Rosary will be held prior to the mass at 9:30 am for those wishing to participate A reception is also being planned with location still to be determined. The Foxgrover family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at Whidbey General Hospital and the EMTs who treated our mother with the deepest respect and amazing care in her final hours. The family also suggests memorials to St Augustine Catholic Church directed to the Agape Meal Program. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or leave condolences please visit Delores’ Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.

Let’s Dish!

I’m sure there are very few people who haven’t heard of the story ‘Alice in Wonderland’, by Lewis Carol. Disney did a fantastic job (as if they were capable of anything less) on their cinematic depiction of the book. My favorite part, of course, is the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party! I’m also fairly sure it won't be a surprise there is a day called ‘Mad Hatter Day’ and it’s celebrated October 6 of each year. The reason for the ‘madness’ is the slip of paper in the Hatter’s hat which reads, ‘in this style, 10/6’, which was a reference to the price of it - 10 shillings sixpence. This odd holiday was created by computer technicians in Boulder, Colorado in 1986 and they figured it should be aptly observed October 6 of each year. Regardless, the Hatter, who is as his name suggests a milliner (hatmaker), is never referred to as ‘Mad’ in the book. Funny enough though, I think his antics suggest he’s a rather eccentric fellow. But who wouldn’t be? He’s stuck in a time loop at a tea party, in perpetual repetition of the same events. His almost obtuse love for tea is contagious and when one is done reading the book or watching the Disney rendition of it, they almost feel compelled to host or attend at least ONE tea party in their life. It’s believed Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, was the

into sublimely pretty, fragile teacups ready to be sipped and relished. There was and still is, a sense of social propriety at tea parties, and this encompassed everything from what the hostess should serve, how it is served, and the exact time, to how guests should behave. Many a connoisseur of this type of social function maintain etiquette dictates milk should be added to a teacup first and the tea poured in thereafter. Forks are to be placed to the left of small plates, spoons and knives to the right. Smaller plates are always used (especially for ‘low tea’) as it’s merely finger foods which will be served and enjoyed. Guests must remember to place their napkin on their lap, not to place both hands around the teacup, and when tea is not actively being imbibed, it’s to be placed back on the saucer. The importance of what is considered proper now is vastly different from a couple hundred years ago. Perhaps it’s not so much about importance, just times change, and I always say anything related to food is ‘fluid’ and malleable. It can be adapted in any way shape and form. That’s what makes it beautiful. It’s an art that travels and is (much like the Mad Hatter’s tea party) timeless. Something I wanted to make a note of is while many of us associate the drinking of tea with the signature, exaggerated thrust out pinky finger, indicative of high society, this action, which has become a depiction of ‘snootiness’, actually serves a rather pragmatic purpose. It offers balance to a little cup which has an infinitesimally tiny handle. One in which only one or two fingers can fit, so it’s only practical a balance be struck, hence the jutting pinky finger (complete with accent for some).

‘founder’ of tea parties, the impetus for which was her becoming peckish in the afternoon. You see, in the 1780s it was common for only two meals to be consumed during the day. Breakfast and dinner at around 8 o’clock. With so many hours in between meals, it’s incredible to me how people seemingly stuck to social norms and only did eat just two daily meals. I would have snuck in another meal. I would have no choice but to eat at the bidding of my hungry belly. Anyway, she had begun to take tea and a light snack at around 5 o’clock in the afternoon and then started to invite her friends to join her. This newfound event was picked up by hostesses all over London and it spread quite quickly from there. When I stop and imagine an old-fashioned tea party, images rush to the forefront of my mind of women donning period clothing, carrying ornately decorative parasols, mingling and making small talk with one another. You know, all the pomp, grandeur, and formalities that goes hand in hand with a surface notion of tea parties. I picture stands of delicately and precisely placed treats and snacks consisting of petit fours, scones, finger sandwiches and the like, boasting their delicious appearance for all to smack their lips at (on the inside, because lip smacking isn't proper). Beautiful porcelain teapots conceal the delightful taste of tea, until it’s poured

There were two tea times which were observable. ‘Low tea’ which was taken between 4 and 5 pm, offered lighter foods and generally was taken in a sitting room where low tables (like a coffee table) were placed near chairs. ‘High tea’ was served on the high table, such as a side board, around 7pm. This one was also referred to as 'meat tea' because it was served closer to dinner time. In the states, tradition has been here to add more little yummies to indulge in.

Dining Guide

The most famous food item to be served at tea parties, I think it’s safe to say, are scones. Crispy outer layers, fluffy texture and rich buttery flavor pair remarkably well with Devonshire cream. Many people enjoy jam or lemon curd on their scones as well. I say both clotted (Devonshire) cream and jam together is best! It could be fun to host a tea party of your own! Perhaps not quite like the Mad Hatter’s where impossible riddles are told, and a hare uses a broken time piece to arrive at the tea party, over and over again. A time loop sounds exhausting but a low key, ‘low tea’ party sounds superb! I’m including a recipe for traditional English cream scones which I found online at www.joyofbaking.com. If you have any comments, information or recipes, share them with me because, as always, I love to hear from you. So Let’s Dish!

Cream Scones A 2 cups all-purpose flour Ÿ cup granulated white sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder Ÿ teaspoon salt 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream m In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking K powder and salt. Mix butter into the flour w with fingertips until it resembles coarse t crumbs. Whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla i and add to flour. Mix until just blended. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surT faced and knead four to five times. Pat into an approximately 7 inch round, and using a cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool, serve and enjoy! Oh by the way, I g believe these freeze really well too! a 1 www.teavana.com ( www.timeanddate.com L To read past columns of Let's Dish in the a Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at p www.whidbeyweekly.com.

in your own past actions. On the 14th it’s tempting to manipulate a sibling into doing your bidding.

Chicken Little & the Astrologer By Wesley Hallock

ARIES (March 21-April 19) So easy to feel loved and loving on the 8th! (Don’t go to pieces.) New approaches to old problems work especially well from 2 PM Friday until the wee hours Sunday. The 11th-13th, butting heads with opponents may be satisfying, but is VERY unproductive. Keep your eyes open the 12th. You may witness what the Chinese call “interesting times.” On the 14th comes a dilemma and its surprising fix.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The 8th is great for home entertaining. Beginning 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday) is great for wine tastings or similar excuses for getting sloshed. Less good for serious affairs. Unexpected difficulties the 11th13th find equally unexpected solutions. (Don’t be too quick to don your Chicken Little cap.) Set a good example on the 14th and don’t fall for another’s jealous or possessive behavior.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Art and beauty are powerful forces in your life on the 8th. Creativity goes in odd directions from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday). Can you handle the curves? The unforeseen works in ways you’ll quite likely enjoy on the 11th and 12th. The best way to be of service on the 13th-14th is to put your ideas to work in a practical way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Friends and family will benefit from your generous mood the 8th. Short trips take the long way around from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday). Normal routines change on the 11th, 12th and 13th. (So who wants to be a slave to habit?) Tending to your loved ones is your top priority on the 14th. Loving concerns are appreciated, but domination works against you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your glowing persuasive powers peak on the 8th. From 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday) your normally sound sense of value goes on vacation. (Beware of “deals.”) From out of the blue on the 11th and 12th come beneficial insights or ideas. The 13th-14th are prime days for a retreat and some much needed private time. (Puttering in the basement fills the bill nicely.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) From out of nowhere comes a cheerful desire to be of service the 8th. Beginning 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday) reason goes and the heart knows. (Your powers of judgment take a backseat to your feelings.) Surprising events on the 11th-13th are actually rooted

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You stand to gain in ways pleasantly surprising on the 8th. Cosmic Happy Hour affects judgment in strange ways from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday). You may look back afterward and say, “What was I thinking?” The 11th-13th are erratic and the 12th especially so. You are more likely than most to be favored. A bigger than normal purchase is possible on the 14th. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Public appearances come off especially well for you on the 8th. From 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday) free advice is worth LESS than what you paid for it. (Avoid it.) The saving grace in a difficult situation the 11th -13th comes from out of your past. (Fair play is ultimately its own reward.) Standing firm on the 14th gets you where you want to go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your philosophical side is in full bloom the 8th. (Do share it.) Kooky mix-ups are likely from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday). Don’t be surprised at anything. Life is dealing wild cards again on the 11th and 12th and yours could be quite good. You bring out the best in someone the 13th. On the 14th you may see the value in something others have overlooked. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Generosity in matters financial runs both ways the 8th. Agendas are likely to be broken from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday). Write your plans in pencil. It might be a wild ride in business the 11th and 12th, but that can be a good thing. Pressure from a peer group is especially strong the 13th-14th. Hear what they have to say, then consider the source. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) The 8th finds your independence sweetly challenged. (Who can resist a sweet?) Financial deals are risky from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday). Your philosophy and your geography are both subject to radical change the 11th and 12th. You’re very much at peace with yourself the 13th. On the 14th your intensity ramps up in ways you cannot hide. This may advance you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Congeniality runs high in your workplace the 8th. Contracts and agreements made from 2 PM the 9th (Friday) until after midnight Saturday (going into Sunday) probably won’t work out as well as you’d like. (Fools rush in.) A helping hand appears just when you need it the 11th-13th. (Yes, in addition to the one at the end of your sleeve.) Follow early-day hunches on the 14th. Morning favors your most important tasks. © 2015, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and serves to increase awareness about the disease and to highlight the importance of early detection. Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of the disease among women in the United States but thanks to the vast upturn of knowledge on the subject of early detection and the difference it can make, millions of women are surviving. While the uncertainty and fear can be overwhelming emotions to cope with, it’s important to remember there are many people who are able to help each step of the way, and support the brave patients, survivors and family members. Women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer need to be aware they are at risk of developing lymphedema, a condition which can remain with them for the rest of their lives. Lymphedema is swelling which occurs as a result of the removal of lymph nodes, which follows a lumpectomy or mastectomy. It can occur in the arm, trunk or upper extremities and unfortunately has the potential to be painful and even debilitating. Thankfully this condition does not have to progress and Rue and Primavera offer solutions wherein the progression of lymphedema is halted and other risk reducing steps can be taken. In some exciting news, owner Wendolin (Wendy) Rue has undergone extensive training to become a certified lymphedema therapist. In honor of her mother-in-law, Joanne, and all the brave women who have and are battling the disease, she wanted to dedicate her services to this cause. For the entire month of October, Wendy is offering a consultation to any breast cancer survivor for free. After having to cope with the stress of the physical and emotional impact of the disease, surgeries and treatments, the last thing anyone wants to have to suffer with is lymphedema. Compression garment fittings are available at Rue and Primavera and as this is a condition that’s unfortunately not curable, it most certainly is manageable. The compression garments are fashion forward and can be donned beautifully with any and all clothing. Every person who requires some form of physical or occupational therapy is a priority for the staff of Rue and Primavera. Not only do they give women a learning platform about issues which can affect them, they take the time to show how committed they are to the care of each and every patient and the management of each condition they see. Only the best care is given at Rue and Primavera. If you are looking for an occupational and physical therapy office where superior standard services, coupled with compassion for patients and a dedication to their treatment, make an appointment today by calling (360) 279-8323 or stop in at their office on 785 SE Bayshore Drive, #102, Oak Harbor.
