Ronald Reagan hosts ship tours in Yokosuka

The U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) welcomed more than 15,000 visitors while the ship was moored at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan, Oct. 12.

America’s flagship opened her brows to allow visitors the opportunity to tour the ship, learn how it operates and interact with Sailors who work on board. “It’s a chance for us to show off the ship and what we do,� said Capt. Brett Crozier, Ronald Reagan’s executive officer. “It helps us establish and build relationship’s that we are looking forward to over the next seven to eight years as the forward-deployed naval forces (FDNF) carrier.�

Crozier also stressed the importance of the event to the local community.

Guests tour the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Ronald Reagan and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

“I think it is extremely important to the local community because, as the FDNF carrier, we are going to rely on them for support both on base and certainly out in town,� said Crozier. “Allowing the people of Yokosuka to come on board to see what we do, allows us to feel more comfortable as we explore the town and go on liberty. Again, I think it helps to build that long-term relationship we are looking to establish.�

Visitors had the opportunity to ride an aircraft elevator to the flight deck, watch damage control demonstrations as well as look at a jet engine, weapons and medical displays.

Guests traveled from near and far to visit a U.S. Navy ship for the first time.

According to Toshie Tanaka, from Yokohama, Japan, it was very exiting for her and her family to visit Ronald Reagan because of her family’s admiration for the military and the ship’s involvement in Operation Tomodachi.

“I am very fascinated with the American military and I never get to see military ships this close. So I traveled all the way from Sapporo,� said Masaharu Isawa, from Sapporo, Hokkaido. “I hope that opening up the ship will educate more people on how important they are so that the relationship between the people of Japan, Japan’s Maritime SelfDefense Force and the American military will be perfect.�

“In the 30 to 40 minutes they are aboard they’ll have a chance see the Navy’s most advanced ship and will hopefully leave knowing that the U.S. has committed to our relationship with Japan by sending such a capable carrier here, FDNF to Yokosuka,� said Crozier.

“I have goose bumps,� said Tanaka.

Ronald Reagan and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the IndoAsia-Pacific region.

On Track with Jim Freeman

Last week's return to rain got me to thinking.

Summer.

Where did it go, and why didn't I? Many folks enjoyed the summer traveling around, while a few of us locals were hiding.

It sure is nice to be able to find a parking spot now. Also, it is quite nice to be able to get out onto the highway on the same day that I leave my caboose. Some of summer's left turns took longer than many movie intermissions.

Quit whining, Freeman, all that traffic this summer was appreciated by many of our wonderful Whidbey Weekly advertisers.

Remember what happened to you in radio when you bad mouthed the Bend Bulletin's front page story back in 1980? It was not fun when the red phone rang, was it?

Note to the reader: It is during these times of my self-doubt you are free to talk amongst yourselves.

Big News Last week, there was big news. Big news for many.

The U. of Dub beat the U. of SC. The Yankees were defeated. The Cubs won. It was an amazing week for sure, but, all those front page sports items pale in comparison to the BIG NEWS—The Shifty Sailors released their 6th CD, Home of the Sails PENN COVE! As I listen to this wonderful recording, mastered

by Robbie Cribbs of Sound Trap Studios (www.soundtrapstudios.com), I have to smile. These fifteen sea shanties, all arranged

by Vern Olsen, aka Sir Squeeze, director of the Shifties for the last 22 years, are inspired presentations of maritime history. Stuff some Halloween bags, Thanksgiving turkeys, and Christmas stockings with this latest effort from our favorite Whidbey Island world travelers. Samples of their songs from all six CD's can be enjoyed at their website, www. shiftysailors.net.

Whispering @ The UW Speaking of shifting, let me sail on. I have just completed a one day seminar in computer whispering. First, there were horse whisperers. Then there were dog whisperers.

When we were kids, we enjoyed being study hall whisperers.

Last Saturday, over at the gigantic Kane Hall at the U. of W., I took my yellow legal pad, my clipboard, and my best ballpoint pens to the classroom. It has been awhile. Thank goodness I did not have to remember my locker combination. I would not have been able to find my locker anyway.

After I took the computer whisperer class, where one learns to whisper at one's computer instead of yelling at it, I attended a class entitled, Reinventing English: The Future of Reading, Writing, and Thinking, taught by Seth Lerer of the University of California at San Diego. In law school, we called it UCSD, but, also in law school, we called Interstate 5 a frontage road to the beaches, and hitchhiking a wise way to travel.

Professor Lerer presented a lively talk about how fast our language is changing. With more new words and new expressions, the English language is becoming “more evocative and idiomatic.�

This makes it tough for me because I had to look up both those words when I got home to see what Seth had sayeth.

With digital technologies spinning around my cranial-Socratic mind box, I feel like we have to re-learn, or un-learn to discover the new world of writing and reading. If I am going to spend the rest of my adult life texting ROFL (rolling on floor laughing), I want to make sure the acronym has not been changed to mean Really Old Fart Leaning.

My kid no longer talks to me because she is too busy tweeting. My nephews won't

e-mail me because they are on Facebook. My sister calls now and then, but I can hear her playing free cell in the background. She click, click, clicks, while I yak, yak, yak.

According to Professor Lerer, “global media has helped make English into a world language, but a world language with many different social, regional, and cultural variations.�

Maybe we will all get along some day when the world discovers how good collard greens taste, with lots of salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Dad used to say those Russian fly fishermen with Curt Gowdy on American Sportsmen helped bring down the iron curtain.

Now that the curtain seems to be back up, maybe we can wash it with Simple Green?

Simple Collard Greens?

King Diva Another class offered in the One Day U series (www.onedayu.com/seattle), sponsored by AARP and the Seattle Times, was a lecture by UCLA's Kara Cooney, entitled The Woman Who Ruled The World (3500 years ago).

If you have heard of Hatshepsut, the only female king/pharaoh of Egypt, let me know where you went to school.

In Ohio history, back in 4th grade, we studied the Indian mounds, but no one on the playground ever wanted to be Hatshepsut.

Kay Starr, maybe, but not Hattie.

This Pharaoh was pre-green. Her fans did leave quite a carbon footprint of statues, monuments, stelae, and obelisks honoring her. Not that there will be any, but check for her costumes in the Halloween aisles.

We could start a trend here on Whidbey of acknowledging King Hat's reign. Maybe some of you readers who have checked your DNA on ancestry.com have a connection with King Hat?

If we could somehow tie-in a celebration of Hatshepsut’s Whidbey connection, assuming she does have heirs here, with the Holland Happening Days in Oak Harbor, I could see high-definition antenna trucks with news teams from around the globe lining Pioneer Way. Imagine NBC's Lester Holt, CBS's Scott Pelley, and ABC's David Muir broadcasting live from the park in front of DSHS, readying for the Hatshepsut Look-A-Like Contest.

Okay, so imagine Jesse Jones and Walter Kelley.

The class that really caught my ears and eyes was The Art of Aging, taught by Brian Carpenter of Washington University, in St. Louis. The fact Carpenter called aging an art was already a bonus for me. Maybe I can stop buying these anti-aging creams and just replace them with a soft, small paint brush, like the painter on PBS used.

Carpenter spoke of the key components of successful aging, but, because I was writing my notes in a code I cannot now read, I will have to share what I remember. That being said, we may have to go again next year. I do not really remember what the teacher said, but I was fortunate enough to remember where my truck was parked.

Nothing like going to the mainland now and then for a day of education. Just being in the classroom again, with the left handed desks on the left, made me feel right at home.

While most of those in attendance were using lap-tops, smart phones, or security cameras to archive the lectures, I had my aforementioned legal pads, three by five cards, unlined, of course, and a small transistor radio, just in case I wanted to check the scores of the AL and NL championship series in baseball.

Another nice thing about being old enough to sign up for a class on the art of aging is, you can darn well walk out when you want to.

The classroom, just like America – love it, or leave it.

Bye bye, Professor, I have a boat to catch.

Bits & Pieces running a hospital. Since moving to Whidbey fifteen years ago, I am glad to say that the many experiences both my husband and I have had at Whidbey General Hospital have been very positive. It is a gem of a hospital, and we feel fortunate that it is here.

Letters to the Editor Editor, A breast cancer diagnosis can trigger many different emotions: fear, grief, anger, or even betrayal. It may seem like the end: the end of happiness, of life, of the world. In reality, it’s only the beginning – the beginning of a journey where I have witnessed the strength and hope of some amazing women, to fight against this dreadful disease.

The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is a powerful, inspirational, noncompetitive walk held in Everett to raise awareness and funds to end breast cancer. Dollars raised enable the American Cancer Society to invest in groundbreaking research; provide free, comprehensive information and support; and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable.

Through the Making Strides walk, you can meet other survivors, many of whom have gone on to live long and fulfilling lives. They give me confidence that one day we will defeat this disease.

Nowhere else can you make the greatest impact in the fight than by raising funds for the American Cancer Society through the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.

I am lucky to know survivors. I believe in sharing this information so no ones mother, sister, wife, daughter, or friend has to ever hear “you have breast cancer.”

On October 17th, our Making Strides walk will be at the Port Of Everett, 1620 W Marine View Dr., Everett . I urge all community members to join and help finish the fight. Visit makingstrideswalk.org/Everettwa or call 1-800-2272345 to learn more.

Sincerely, Geoff Weatherbie Community Manager, Relay For Life

Editor, Having worked as a physician at a major hospital in New York City for nearly thirty years before moving to Whidbey Island, I have a deep appreciation for the integrity, goodwill and cooperative spirit that are needed in

Because I care about WGH and its ability to function as an independent entity that is sensitive to the needs of our unique community, I feel moved to comment on the upcoming election of hospital board members. The impression Rob Born has made on me over the past months is extremely negative. In his various online postings, he comes across to me as overly opinionated and polarizing. His strident, argumentative and hyper-critical comments, his adversarial style, and his lack of relevant experience in the arena of hospital management all lead me to conclude that his election to the board would be very detrimental to the smooth and independent functioning of the medical facility that serves our island.

From my perspective, Georgia Gardner is by far the better and more qualified candidate. She has extensive and relevant experience, including (1) her past service on the WGH board, (2) her management skills and many years of work as a certified public accountant working in both the public and private sector, and (3) her experience as a state legislator dealing with difficult, multifaceted issues. In addition to this, she has a far more collaborative spirit, a quality that is absolutely essential to the smooth management of a major institution like our hospital.

Betsy MacGregor, M.D., Langley

Tim Callison, Candidate for Mayor of the City of Langley I’m Tim Callison and I am running for Mayor of the City of Langley.

Having travelled and worked all over the world during my career, I found no place on Earth quite like Langley. It is a place that I immediately fell in love with. Having met so many of my fellow residents during the campaign I am even more convinced about the uniqueness of the “Village by the Sea”.

Although I am a relative newcomer to Langley, I have spent my time volunteering with Langley Main Street, the Chamber of Commerce, the Community Club (Men’s Club), and Choochockam. I trained the City Council and the School Counselors in Accelerated Innovation Techniques at no charge.

In the course of my career – from the shop floor to President, I had the fortunate opportunity to work with people of all walks of life – from different countries, cultures and, backgrounds. As a result, I developed an inclusive and uplifting leadership style that will be helpful to Langley as it moves into the future. I always see what is positive and encourage it rather than seeing the negative and magnifying it.

My vision for Langley has been the same from the start: Sustainable Growth that preserves the historic charm of the downtown, while promoting vibrancy.

Economic Diversity – helping to lessen the reliance on tourism as Langley’s main source of revenue Demographic Diversity – working to help balance Langley’s aging population with an increase in young people and families.

I appreciate your vote.

New Worlds, New Visions - a New Season for Whidbey’s Saratoga Orchestra Saratoga Orchestra kicks off the 2015/2016 Season with “New Worlds, New Visions”, a set of programs on October 24, 7:00pm in Langley at South Whidbey High School and October 25, 2:30pm at Oak Harbor High School. Music Director Anna Edwards will lead the orchestra in musical works by Dukas, Boulanger, Elgar and Dvorak.

This season, Saratoga Orchestra is a proud recipient of a Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy (WPA) performance grant. The orchestra will present two rarely heard works by early-twentieth-century French composer, Lili Boulanger.

Lili, the younger sister of noted music pedagogue, Nadia, was the first female to win the prestigious music composition prize, Prix de Rome, at age 19. Saratoga Orchestra will perform “D’un soir triste” and “D’un matin de printemps”, two of Boulanger’s last major orchestral works completed in 1918, just prior to her death at age 24. The mission of WPA is bringing women composers into the concert hall and dispelling the myth that there are no great women composers, but rather audiences that have not been allowed to hear them.

This family friendly community festival will feature the following activities: Apple Pressing & Tasting Stations Staff from Bayview Farm & Garden will be on hand in the green house pressing apples for fresh cold and hot cider. Dozens of apple varieties will be available for a delicious apple tasting experience.

Guest soloist, cellist Lavena Johanson, will be featured on Edward Elgar’s intimately melancholic “Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85.”

Ms. Johanson, a Seattle native, is now based on the east coast having completed her musical training at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. She is an active performer as a soloist and chamber musician with an interest in experimental music and also teaches for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s OrchKids program.

Dvorak’s monumental “Symphony #9, ‘From the New World’ Op. 95,” will conclude the program. Composed in 1893 while Dvorak was teaching in the United States, the symphony has become one of the most popular pieces in all of orchestral literature and even accompanied the Apollo 11 astronauts to the Moon in 1969. The popular song “Goin’ Home”, was adapted from the Largo movement of the symphony.

Saratoga Orchestra is pleased to announce a new series of pre-concert “stage-side” chats for the 2015/2016 Season. Music Director Anna Edwards will be joined prior to the October 24 concert at 6:15pm by Classical KING-FM radio host, Dave Beck, for a short discussion of the evening’s program.

General Admission tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for seniors/military. Students under 18 admitted free (under 14 must be accompanied by a paying adult).

Langley Whale Center Moves to Larger Building After a successful 18 months, the Langley Whale Center has moved into a larger building-right next door at 115 Anthes Street.

Volunteers helped move the displays and merchandise last weekend, a Grand Opening is planned for November.

Orca Network Co-founders Susan Berta and Howard Garrett wish to thank the Langley Whale Center’s former landlord, Paul Samuelson, for helping the Whale Center get their start in Langley at the corner of 2nd and Anthes St. They also wish to thank the City of Langley, Langley Main St. Association and the Port of South Whidbey for their support in helping the Langley Whale Center get off and running; and the Langley Whale Center and Youth Activity Group would not be possible without the dedication and effort of Langley Whale Center manager Wendy Sines.

The Langley Whale Center, a project of Orca Network, a local non-profit, opened their doors in March 2014. The center is run by a dedicated group of Docents and Naturalists, who volunteer at the Center Thursdays through Sundays, and on holiday Mondays.

Many volunteers take the ferry and drive hours to volunteer at the Center. Youth Docents from the Whale Center’s Youth Group have also been a great asset to the Center.

Educational displays of local marine mammals include Orca displays for both the Endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales and the Transient (Biggs) Orcas. A gray whale display includes photos and a beautiful wall size map showing the gray whale migration route, which includes a spring stopover around Whidbey Island. Marine Mammal specimens include an elephant seal skull, whale jawbone and vertebrae, and seal pelts and skulls, collected and prepared by Orca Network’s Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network.

Educational videos are also part of the experience, and visitors especially enjoy the enlarged map of the area where recent whale sightings are posted.

A new traveling exhibit entitled “Whales in our Midst�, courtesy of the Bainbridge Historical Society and Center for Whale Research, will be featured when the Langley Whale Center opens in their new location on October 15.

Plans for additional displays in the new, larger building include humpback whales, new orca calves and a display about research of both Orcas and gray whales. The new space offers more room for educational events such as classes, talks by authors, movies and the ability to expand the Langley Whale Center Youth Activity Program. A larger gift shop is planned, to help offset the cost of operating the Center, which is free to the public and dependent on sales, donations and a new membership program. If you wish to donate to the Langley Whale Center, a new crowdfunding site has been established at https://www.gofundme. com/orcanetwork

The Langley Whale Center has seen a continued climb in visitors numbers, who come from across the nation and around the world. Many visitors already follow Orca Network through their Facebook page and web site, and enjoy having a physical location to come to learn about and share their own stories of watching the whales who live in the Salish Sea. The Langley Whale Center has quickly become a favorite stop for locals and visitors to Whidbey Island.

After 25 years in Oak Harbor, I feel very blessed to have the support from my customers and friends in the community. In appreciation, we at Whidbey Jeweler have created the concept of 12 Weeks of Christmas, where we will be giving away an item each week now until Christmas, along with lighting our retail properties for this holiday season. We invite you to our store at 1421 SW Barlow Street to enter for a chance to win (no purchase necessary), and we would encourage other businesses to join in with the Light Up Oak Harbor campaign by running white lights on their businesses.

Film Shorts Courtesy of Cascadia Weekly

By Carey Ross 99 Homes: A taut psychological study about the 2008 housing downturn starring the always-outstanding Michael Shannon as a man who flips foreclosed houses and the people who make deals with his particular brand of devilry.  (R • 1 hr. 52 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.)

Bridge of Spies: Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks team up for the fourth time to tell the true(ish) story of a lawyer, a spy and some seriously suspenseful 1950s Cold War “diplomacyâ€? in what is seen by some as the first big contender of this year’s Oscar season. ď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ťď‚Ť (PG-13 • 1 hr. 43 min.)

Crimson Peak: You can have your artless, lowest-common-denominator torture porn; I’ll take my horror movies made with extraordinary vision and creepiness to match by writer/director Guillermo del Toro. Even when they’re not that great, they’re still pretty darn good.  (R • 1 hr. 59 min.)

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.)

Goosebumps: Maybe you didn’t grow up on R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books. Maybe you didn’t have a childhood. That’s perfectly fine– now you can watch all of them at once (well, maybe not quite all of the 200-something of the tomes currently in existence) with Jack Black playing the role of the prolific and iconic kid-lit author.  (PG • 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... ď‚Ťď‚Ť (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.)

The Martian: Based on a bestselling book (by Andy Weir), directed by a master of largescale, 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.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 14 min.)

Something Special For Sara (Something Special For Sara is a story of young girl and her family and their struggles in life.

This is the fourth installment written by Loretta Martin on behalf of Island Thrift Stores Tour.)

CHAPTER TWO: FEBRUARY Sara trudged down the gravel drive in the heavy rain, trying to avoid the puddles. Megan was waiting on the road with an umbrella. “Can you believe this rain?� asked Sara as she joined Megan under its bright red cover. “Oh this is nothing.� laughed Megan. “We’ve been lucky to have a dry January this year. It usually rains almost every day from October through May here.� Sara grimaced.

Her sweatshirt and jeans were already soaked through and one of her shoes seemed to be leaking. Great, only two more months to feel like a wet towel! At least it wasn’t so windy today.

As they scrambled onto the yellow bus, Kelsey Martin waved them to two seats across the aisle from her. Kelsey was wearing a pretty blue raincoat with a polka dot lining. “That’s a really cute coat,� Megan said. Kelsey smiled proudly, “I found it at Good Cheer yesterday. Good timing, huh?�

Megan glowered, “You always find the good stuff!� Kelsey giggled, “You have to go more often, Megan. I almost got a pink one with fleece lining but it wouldn’t fit over my bulky sweaters.

Hey, pink is one of your favorite colors Sara. You should get it!� Sara smiled weakly, “Thanks, but I don’t think we could afford a new coat with Dad out of work.� Kelsey leaned over and said, “It’s not new. Good Cheer is the local thrift store, but it has really cool stuff. This was only three dollars and so is the pink one.� Megan chimed in, “Pink is definitely you, Sara. You can’t miss it! Hey, if you’ll baby-sit my little sister this Saturday afternoon I’ll give you what Mom pays me. But we really need to go this afternoon or the coat might be gone. I have five dollars. I can loan you three and take it out of the babysitting money. What do you say?�

Sara smiled at the thought of a warm, dry, coat. “It’s a deal. How do we get there?�

“The good stuff is back here,� said Kelsey as they entered the store in downtown Langley. There it was, a bright pink raincoat with a white furry lining, and it was Sara’s size! Kelsey took Sara’s backpack as she tried it on. Oh how warm if felt! “You look so California cool in that,� said Megan, “and it will go with all your pastel sweaters and stuff. Get it!� Giggling they walked toward the register when Megan spotted a necklace in a glass display case. “Here’s the money. You go ahead, Sara. I need to look for a birthday gift for Mom.�

Sara timidly approached the register. Even though she had the three dollars she wondered if she had enough change in the bottom of her backpack to cover the sales tax. “That will be three twenty six,� said the lady behind the counter. Sara had found two nickels, a dime and only three pennies. “I don’t have enough, only three twenty three.

Let me go ask my friends.� “Don’t bother,� said the lady, “that’s what the penny bowl is for,� and she scooped three pennies from a teacup by the register. “Thank you,� Sara smiled, “This is a cool store.� “Oh it’s been around longer than you have, sweetie. People in the community donate stuff and we sell it to buy food for the Food Bank.� “What is a food bank?� asked Sara. “It’s kind of a grocery store out on Bayview Road but all the food is free if you need it.� “Free, really?� asked Sara. “Sure,� said the lady. “I used to get food there before I found a job. I couldn’t have gotten by without their help. Now I volunteer here on my day off.� Free food thought Sara. Wow, that would really help until Dad finds a job. I’ve got to tell Mom and Grandma. This has been a really good day, in spite of the rain.

Doris Crumbley Dykers, longtime resident of Oak Harbor, passed away peacefully September 18, 2015 at the age of 94. Doris was a proud descendant of the Simon Morgan Reeder family who crossed the Plains on the Oregon Trail in 1853 and settled on Sauvies Island, in the Columbia River near Portland, OR. Doris and her sister, Marie, was just 1 year older, close in age and close in heart, shared a life-long bond. Dad worked for the railroad and was transferred to Spokane, where the girls grew up and graduated from John Rogers High School in 1939. Doris spent her summers on her Aunt and Uncles’ farm near Portland, working, playing, and forming life-long bonds with her extended family.

Doris was known as the “Tomboy” sister and cousin who chose to do outside chores and the more adventurous activities, like tree climbing, horseback riding, swimming, sailing and boating. Her mother did teach her to play the piano and she developed a love of music, playing the piano, organ, and accordion. She also loved to dance. Growing up, Doris belonged to Girl Scouts, Rainbow Girls, and Job’s Daughters.

Following graduation she worked in Spokane and then moved on to Seattle, where she began work at the Sandpoint Naval Facility. In 1945 she moved to the Oak Harbor, working at Washington CoOp on the Oak Harbor city dock. Doris met Lawrence “Doc” Dykers, the rural mail carrier. They were married on July 1, 1947 and began their 61 years of marriage, all spending most of it at their home on Dugualla Bay. Doris began her marriage as a homemaker, caring for their two children, Doreen born in 1948, and Lawrence “Larry” Alfred, born in 1950, both in Oak Harbor. She occasionally worked as a substitute rural mail carrier, which she thoroughly enjoyed. When her children reached school age she became a school secretary, first at Oak Harbor Elementary and then at the Junior High School. After her children graduated from high school she worked at a local bank for several years before retiring.

MARGARET ANNE JEDELE Margaret Anne Jedele was called to Heaven to join her beloved husband Emerson October 5, 2015 at the age of 94. She was born on the 4th of July, 1921 in Clover Valley to John and Elizabeth (Abrahamse) Ronhaar.

As a young woman, her parents sold the farm in Clover Valley to the Navy and moved into town.

Margaret was a member of the Oak Harbor High School graduating class of 1939. Following high school, Margaret went to work for the phone company as an operator. A young soldier from Michigan, Emerson Jedele was working at Fort Casey with the Signal Corp and he was the switchboard operator for the fort. He talked with Margaret on a regular basis and on one of his liberty days, he visited Oak Harbor and looked up Margaret. Margaret introduced Emerson to her parents and her father took an immediate liking to Emerson. Romance ensued and on June 3, 1943, Margaret and Emerson were married. Daughter Coriene was added to the family in 1944.

Emerson was discharged from the service and he moved his young family to Ann Arbor, MI and son Keith joined the family. Emerson worked in Michigan for a time, but returned to Oak Harbor in 1956.

He was hired by Whidbey Press as a pressman and bookbinder. Margaret began her career in Oak Harbor when she was hired by Ray Cusworth at Everett Trust and Saving Bank to work as a teller. She advanced through the various positions within the bank and the various mergers, moving from Everett Trust to Pacific Northwest Bank and finally to Wells Fargo. She retired from banking as a secretary with more than 30 years of service.

Margaret and Emerson became lifelong members of Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. Margaret eventually held every office within Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and also taught Confirmation Class for many years.

She also became one of the earliest members of the Stephen’s Ministers at Church. She was very active within the community, serving as a longtime member of the Business and Professional Women’s organization. She was even nominated for Citizen of the Year for Oak Harbor.

Margaret was a very gifted seamstress, producing tailor quality work. She also was an accomplished organist and pianist. Margaret moved to Mount Vernon six years ago to be near her daughter.

Margaret is survived by her children: Coriene (Donald) DeVries of Sedro Woolley and Keith (Donna) Jedele of San Antonio, TX, by one brother John “Jim” Ronhaar and one sister Doris Nyhoff, both of Oak Harbor and one sister-in-law Beatrice Ronhaar of Lynden. She is also survived by grandchildren Scott (Stacy) Green and children Nicholas and Christopher; Bradley (Michelle) Green and son Joshua; Brian (Vyonne) Green and children Megan, Joseph, and Kenneth (Tasha) and their son Brandon; Doniene (Jerimiah) Reynolds and children Geordon and Elsa, Kevin (Tonia) Jedele and children Jaxon and Clive; Kelly Jedele and daughter Carli Vinciguerra; Dana (Able) Gonzales and daughter Mia; and Tadd and Shana Lipscomb and children Carson and Kate. Margaret was preceded in death by her beloved husband Emerson, by her brothers Carl, Dan and Robert.

Memorial services for Margaret Jedele will be held Saturday, October 17, 1pm at the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church with Pastor Marc Stroud and Pastor Jeffrey Spencer officiating. A reception will follow in the church hall. Private family graveside services will be held at Maple Leaf Cemetery at a later date.

Memorials may be made to the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church Memorial Fund in Margaret’s name.

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

Many Hands Make Alaskan Food October 18, 1867 marks the formal hand-over or transfer of the Territory of Alaska from Russia to the United States. Every October 18, Alaska Day is observed and celebrated. It is henceforth rather fitting to talk about all things related to the state, moreover, all things food related!

I associate Alaska with the cold and wilderness.

Rugged mountains, lush woodland forests, moose roaming along lakes and rivers. In my mind, deer bound and flit through trees, stopping to graze on the abundance of vegetation this beautiful, rustic state has to offer.

Alaska, though somewhat rural, is also in fact a blend of many different cultures. This is all thanks to Russian heritage, Native peoples, Japanese and Chinese ancestral ties, as well as 19th century gold miners. As such, this merger of different peoples and cultures undoubtedly saw to it that traditional foods are but the many roots which make up one tree.

Traditionally, the Inuit people subsisted on a diet of walrus, seal, whale, arctic hare, fish and berries (to name a few) and while their diets many years ago lacked vegetables, they apparently had seemingly sound health. As much of an animal was used to prevent waste and this even included for example, seal blood for ‘blood soup’ and intestines which were then dried and enjoyed as a snack. The seal fat was incorporated into the meat or eaten with berries.

Eskimos have proven that when living exceptionally rural, and with the scarcity of food variety, a person can survive on what the land provides. Eskimos consume almost every part of an animal as well, and this has great nutritional benefits. Eyes, organs, meat, blubber, all of this is consumed. Fish is often eaten raw, though if it is cooked, normally it is gently boiled, and the broth is ingested as well. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle eating so much protein, Eskimos drink insane amounts of water. Water is the life blood of anything and everything, not just for those who live in Alaska, but every single human being.

Russian influence can be seen, in particular in Sitka, in the form of rice stuffed piroghis, stroganoff and kasha, a type of porridge, wherein all of these are still found to be made and eaten.

After the transfer of territory between Russia and the U.S., a large influx of non-perishable goods found their way into the state. Canned milk, dried beans, sugar and fruits like apples and oranges were transported into Alaska by paddle wheelers, boats that were extremely rugged and very dependable. Kind of a necessity in a place like Alaska I would think. Plum duff was a popular dessert to be served at feasts in that time. This batter pudding was a real treat. Wrapped in cloth and boiled until it was done, this gave way to a sweet indulgence with a sticky exterior and cake like interior.

Meals in Alaska have always been made from

Thursday-Sunday from Noon to 3p.m.

Dinner

These older diets were definitely ‘all natural’ in the sense that very few channels on which to transport food items were established so people became accustomed to living off the ‘fat of the land’. I actually think this is a wonderful way to live. I found that berry products are really popular across the state. The usual blueberry and cranberry, for example, are common though they are wild. Interestingly enough some berries I had never heard of find their way into the lucky bellies of those who live or visit the state. Moss berries? Never heard of them but they are also called crowberries. Watermelon berries, which look a little like grapes to me, are apparently also enjoyed on the go by hikers who happen across them. What an awesome energy kick! The stalks of these yummy berries are also used in salads in the springtime. I discovered as well, there are fruits called cloud berries which are similar in color to an apricot but look very much like a raspberry and are found growing in bogs.

With this variety of different berries it would be amazing to turn all of them into a dessert, compote, jam, jelly, cordial, smoothie, cake, cupcakes, pancakes, waffles, muffins, breads, pies, sauces, on and on and on. And those are just the berries!

Seafood is another food item which can be used in many, many dishes and in many, many ways.

It would be silly of me to not mention Salmon and to highlight the importance of this incredibly light flavored fish. It is eaten in several ways ranging from smoked and cured salmon to jerky and even candy! In addition to this cold water fish, king crab is another staple which countless people in the state enjoy. One of these enormous crustaceans is sufficient enough to sate a whole family’s appetite at dinner.

Game such as elk, moose and caribou are the

main sources of protein for those who don’t live anywhere near cities and as such these animals are extremely important for sustenance. Reindeer can be found in the form of commercially made sausage, however these beautiful creatures aren’t native to Alaska. They were brought in by the Russians from Siberia in 1892, in a bid to help the whale population increase as whaling grounds were drying up and reindeer were to provide an alternate food source for Native Alaskans.

whatever was available, no matter how much or little diversity of ingredients, were used. This definitely saw to it that some really interesting dishes have sprung out of the state! In fact, the prospectors who decided to stay and establish roots began making ketchup from cranberries and currants, and they made butter out of caribou bone marrow. Definitely very different but I am certain it is no less tasty to any other ways of making these two particular items.

18th-20th, with kin and distant travels in the mix. An original approach to an old problem wins the day at work on the 21st.

Chicken Little & the Astrologer

By Wesley Hallock

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If the situation on the 15th seems daunting, it’s because it demands a deep and involved approach. (Go ahead, dive in.

You can do it!) The good deed done on the 16th and 17th couldn’t happen without you. Nice work!

Regarding your current financial stress, don’t give up too soon. All your hard work pays off eventually. It’s the perfect day on the 21st to renew that long-neglected friendship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s your determination against someone’s crafty knowledge on the 15th. You’ll have better luck another day. Resist the urge to don your Chicken Little cap the 16th and 17th.

Time and a clear head will get you through this. The 18th-20th finds your analytical and practical skills all working in harmony. Do whatever it takes to get your mind and your emotions moving toward the same goal on the 21st.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) The quick once-over doesn’t get the job done on the 15th.

Grit your teeth and dig in. On the 16th and 17th your toes rest at the edge of someone else’s mire. Offer your love but don’t get sucked in. Your multi-tasking skills come in handy the 18th-20th in shoring up your shared resources. The 21st is the perfect day to be free-thinking and progressive. A spontaneous journey is possible.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) You know just how to handle an intense emotional situation on the 15th to get full cooperation. Your wisdom and encouragement bring much-needed light to a messy situation the 16th and 17th, no matter how it seems at the time. Your caution is well-founded regarding travel and finances on the 18th-20th. It’s an introverted day the 21st. Attending to your spiritual side is of the highest priority.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Because I said so!” doesn’t carry the day on the 15th.

Find the facts to bolster your position. On the 16th and 17th your personal resources work to end suffering and benefit a worthy cause. Your considerable managerial skills are tested the 18th-20th.

No quick fix on this one. Don’t compromise yourself on the 21st. You won’t gain anything by it and self-approval is worth more than public approval.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your wits are adequate for the task on the 15th. Liberal applications of your smarts work surprisingly well. You’re able to turn the trick on the 16th and 17th, even though your efforts don’t immediately satisfy.

Healing takes time. It’s a juggling act the

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have what it takes to salvage something worthless on the 15th and turn it to practical value. You want to help on the 16th and 17th but you’re in over your head.

Trying too hard only makes it worse. A lot is happening behind the scenes on the 18th-20th to ease your financial stress.

Mental stimulation on the 21st leads to an exciting new idea—be ready to take notes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You make your own luck on the 15th using your knowledge and resourcefulness. You have both in abundance. Strife takes second place on the 16th and 17th against your great staying power. (Nothing sharpens the wits quicker than a good struggle!) A friend in need could benefit from your practical assistance on the 18th-20th. Time spent getting your head and your heart aligned on the 21st is time well-spent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ve outsmarted yourself on the 15th. Figure out how and turn a loss into valuable learning experience. A recent loss may still be grieving you on the 16th and17th. When you’re ready to forgive and move on, your natural buoyancy will show you the way.

The 18th-20th sees some welcome financial relief possible. The 21st is right to begin putting that recent flash of genius into practical use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You gain on the 15th when a joint strategy proves right.

Listen to your friends and don’t go too hard on yourself the 16th and 17th. Their counsel is sound, even if it doesn’t satisfy. The 18th-20th find relatives and distant travels on your mind. Good days to take action in that regard. The 21st is the perfect day to invest and knowledge is the perfect investment. Business and finance are favored.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) Something is causing stress on the 15th and you don’t know why. Back away from it and take a careful look. On the 16th and 17th tough love is the hardest kind to give. On the 18th-20th debt assistance could come from a distant source, possibly a relative.

Promote your new idea on the 21st. You’ll find people are most receptive and likely to understand you then.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The highest levels of understanding back your instinctive position on the 15th. Isn’t intuition wonderful? You don’t get credit where credit is due on the 16th and 17th, but don’t brood over it. In the Bigger Picture you know that it doesn’t matter. Your efforts involving your joint finances may surprise you with a gain on the 18th-20th. Spend time on the 21st thinking about nothing.
