WHIDBEY’S ABUNDANCE OF FALL SEASON LOCAL FARM PRODUCTS A visit to many of our farms on Whidbey Island in the fall months will leave you with the feeling that you would like to hunker down in front of the wood stove with a glass of homemade apple cider and a slice of pumpkin pie. The colorful abundance of squash, pumpkins, greens such as swiss chard, kale and a cabbage of varying sizes and colors, brussel sprouts, tomatoes grown in hoop houses, and more, are impressive. In this article, I will give you some ideas of places to go look for this fall bounty so you can continue to support your local farmers.

St. Hubert Holiday Bazaar

In the fall, we see the last days of our farmers' markets throughout Whidbey Island but that certainly does not mean the end of our local produce season. Farmers' Markets either end for the season or go under a roof after October because, as consumers, we just really are not drawn to shopping outdoors on cold, rainy, windy days! Peg Tennant, Market Manager for both the Coupeville and Oak Harbor Farmers' Markets reports even though weather during the growing season affected timing and availability of crops, both markets had very successful seasons consistent with the previous year’s sales. These two markets are closed for the season. The Bayview Farmers' Market's last outdoor market day will be October 31.

Farms who offer Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscriptions where the consumer purchases a subscription at the beginning of the growing season and picks up their share or box of fresh, local produce from a farm on a weekly basis – are finishing for the season and some are offering fall alternatives.

The Whidbey Island Conservation District recently asked local farms to send us information about what products they have available this fall. Following is the information we received to help you in your search for fresh, local farm products: Whidbey Green Goods – Michael Nichols – Mike runs a home delivery service for locally grown produce and a variety of other products to residents on Whidbey Island. Mike is unique in that he congregates product from many different farms and sources and then delivers them to your neighborhood. Mike has a great website explaining his business. www.whidbeygreengoods.com

This newsletter is all about food and farming on Whidbey Island.

Subscribe to this newsletter by contacting Chris Williams by e-mail, cwilliam@whidbey.com Chris puts this newsletter together on a voluntary basis and many of us have come to rely on it as a great source of up to date information.

Many people say they would like to support their local farmers but they don’t know how to contact them. The list above is far from inclusive but it will get you started on your search for local food. Currently there is not one single place to go to figure out how to find farmers who direct market in your area. Many farms who direct market their produce have extensive e-mail lists and they send out messages periodically, updating their customers about when they are open and what products they have available. Facebook is becoming an increasingly popular way for farmers to get their word out.

Remember, farmers are super busy growing your food so they are looking for streamlined ways to message and market to consumers.

Websites tend to get stale because of the time they take to maintain so dynamic social media avenues and e-mail tend to be most effective.

Many farmers are as close as the cell phone in their pocket so once you establish a relationship with them, often you can just make a quick call to find out if they have a particular item available.

Our culture has become reliant on the supermarket model where we have pretty good food always available. You figure out what meal you would like to prepare and then you go to the nearest grocery store and find the ingredients.

It is a fun challenge to reverse this process. Seek out your nearest local farmer first and buy what they have in season and then figure out how to cook it. The internet is full of fabulous ideas.

That being said, we do appreciate our grocery stores who provide us with a consistent supply of pretty much everything we need. The newest grocery store on Whidbey located in Oak Harbor, Haggen, is committed to buying as much food as they can from local farmers. On their website, www.haggen.com, you will find an extensive list of the farms they buy from in the region.

Finding locally grown food takes a little more work on the part of the consumer. The benefit is the relationship you establish with your farmer and the land while getting the freshest produce available. Food rarely spoils in your refrigerator because it is picked only hours from the time it is harvested to the time it is in your hands. Your extra effort reduces the miles food travels, helps support the rural landscape residents on Whidbey Island love, and provides you with good, fresh, healthy food. Remember, buy local first and enjoy the magical fall season.

ON TRACK with Jim Freeman

Eileen Brown, our favorite all-time columnist extraordinaire, unparalleled in the annals of any annual, cautioned me more than once to have a back-up column at the ready should I not feel like writing one in time for the next

deadline.

For me, that would be akin to feeling like I did not want to talk. Where's the duct tape?

Would I need back-up words and phrases for yet to be had dialogues?

Even when my folks sent me to my room for acting up, or bringing them down, I could talk to myself. Certainly, my propensity for mouth movement may be my making up for the nine months of quiet which preceded by first audibleness.

Is that even a word? Audibleness? Well, it is now.

Thanks to modern day technology, many of us can now continue talking without saying anything. Thank goodness for texting.

With the aid of old school technology, that is, letters on telephone numbers, coupled with modern day and night transmissions of words and pictures, our communication opportunities are endless.

My pal Jennifer can talk into her smart phone while the phone types letters corresponding to her vocal commands. Not even my old legal secretary could do that.

My high school chum Holly can take pictures with his smart phone, add a caption, and send it cross country from Cumming, Georgia to Freeland, Washington while drinking beer and rooting for the Atlanta Falcons e during a TV commercial.

My Jitterbug cell phone, designed for seniors like me who enjoy viewing BIG NUMBERS on a small screen, has a library of twenty pre-programmed comments one can make to avoid texting in the cumbersome way of using 26 letters on eight numbers.

Try keeping up to respond to anyone who is texting with a keyboard or vocal commands.

Ain't gonna happen, not even if I use all my thumbs.

Fortunately, the wizards of the flip phones at Great Call, formerly known as Jitterbug, formerly known as a dance, have selected twenty choices one can make to initiate or continue a dialogue.

Try weaving a dialogue of texts with just these expressions: Call me, Yes, No, I'm busy, Love you, I miss you, Thank you, Congrats, Happy Birthday, Doing fine, Thinking of you, Feel better, Have a great day, Good night, You're welcome, Will arrive soon, Where are you, Will call you later, and, On my way.

Granted, these postings would be harmless and G-rated compared to some texts I have seen. Of course, what company would preprogram vulgar or off-color expressions?

Can you imagine a Marine Corps flipphone? Better not. The texts might look like this–%^&*$ yours and up my @#^&!

When our kids text me, I can respond with one of the above Jitterbug sayings. Usually, I can conclude any exchange with Love you or Have a great day or Good night.

Yet, if I am feeling wordy, which is not only the norm, but usually the case, I write down what I want to say on a blank three by five card, take a picture of what I wrote, and send it on.

Try it sometime. Your kids and grand-kids will think you are a wizard, a genius, or what they think of you already. Shock them with your ingenuity and your correct spelling.

If this makes no sense to you, I encourage you to dust the holes on your rotary phone.

By the way, Eileen Brown and I grew up with rotary phones, even before Rotary had them.

Weather Report Ever since my youth, watching the weather reports on television has been a joy. Someday I may write about all those role models, but for now, let me just say I really enjoy our local weather folks. Whether it is MJ, or Jeff, or Steve, or Jim, or Parella, or Walter, I am digging the meteorologists of the Northwest.

Last night, while watching our best-dressed, blue-suited Walter Kelley on Fox, I learned a valuable bit of info—“What is the dew point?” According to Walter, “The dew point is the point at which dew forms.”

According to our father, the “do point” was the point at which we did something.

We kids are still working on that one.

Grandma Says Last weekend, while working with Rod of Whidbey Children's Theater at their annual Dance-A-Thon at Bayview Hall, we were talking about our grandmothers and what we learned.

Rod added, “My Grandma told me never to forget two things. First, don't ever back out of a parking spot. Second, don't turn left.”

As you can imagine, Rod spends much of his time at home until his wife returns to back their car into the driveway.

“Hi, I'm Jim Freeman, the fellow who spoke to you over the phone. Are you Mr. Macrae's manager?”

“Yes, Jim, I sure am, and here are your tickets. Got the 60 bucks?”

“Yes sir, just like you asked for, two twenties, a ten, and two fives. Sixty dollars in cash. By the way, here is my business card. Would it be possible for you to get Mr. Macrae's autograph for my collection? My post office box number is listed on there. I really loved him in Oklahoma. My brother Lew played Mr. Snow in Carousel.”

“Sure, Jim, sure.”

That was the last time I ever saw or heard Mr. Macrae's manager, right there in front of the VA Hospital in Westwood. I tried to call him again after Ohio State got beat. It was not so much 7 my team lost, but our fifty yard line seats were actually at the top of the end zone, right there in nose bleed alley.

All together now, caveat emptor!

In 1970, I saw an LA Daily News classified ad offering the sale of four Rose Bowl tickets.

Being a fan of Ohio State football back then, I decided to drive to the designated address to offer the seller the required amount of $15 a ticket.

As I pulled up in my 1970 Volvo, paid for in cash with Dad's loaned money, I felt proud I was going to be sharing some fine stories later that night when I called Dad with the news of the tickets. Back before bucket lists, I was going to the Rose Bowl, Hollywood style.

Baseball Fun Back in August, while enjoying Vin Scully's broadcast of Dodger baseball via my MLB. com subscription, Vinnie mentioned the toughest ballplayer name he ever had to pronounce. The last name of the athlete was SJAJNA, pronounced Shina, like Shina on Harvest Moon with Gordon Macrae and Doris Day.

My excitement grew as I drove over the hill from the San Fernando Valley to Westwood.

In fact, every time I got near Westwood, I was excited. My memories of Jackie Robinson, Lew Alcindor, and Henry Bibby during their years at UCLA ran amok as I looked for the intersection where I was to meet the man with the football tickets. How wonderful it was going to be to meet Gordon Macrae's business manager, the gentleman who spoke with me over the phone about his fifty yard line tickets to the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl.

WICA Presents: BooLaLa! Burlesque Halloween Weekend

A student recognition program, called the Shipmates-of-the-Month, recognizes one student per month based on demonstrable gains in the areas of academic or behavioral growth, community contribution(s), and/or acts of altruism. The following students earned the recognition for September:

Battleship Island - Gary Garstin: “Gary is always focused on the concepts presented in class. He pays attention, works hard, and is always willing to answer every single question.

In class, Gary will raise his hand before a question is done being asked and gets noticeably disappointed when he is not called on. Every day Gary is driven to not only finish assignments quickly and correctly, but also to help his peers understand the material as well.”

Langley is known for Halloween spirit with its “Halloween Spooktacular!” involving the entire town and merchants in costume welcoming kids and families to Trick-or-Treat downtown from 2:30pm to 5:30pm on that AllHallows Eve, but the fun won’t stop there…

On Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31 at 7:30pm, WICA is proud to present Seattle’s Can Can Productions award-winning dance troupe in a two-night, Halloween burlesque rendezvous titled “Boo La La!” Seattle’s most celebrated and award-winning dance theater wows, delights, teases, and titillates audiences in a show crafted especially for WICA with original choreography, dance, comedy, acrobatics, and sexy, over-the top displays of artistry. This troupe regularly sells out in their underground showcase at Pike Place Market – it’s a not-to-be-missed, one-ofa-kind Halloween treat and the only all-adult Halloween party of the season. Come for the burlesque and then stay for the party afterwards in Zech Hall to meet and greet the dancers in WICA’s Piano Bar. A sexy, fun evening awaits you. All seats are $25 which includes the post-show party.

The holiday weekend continues at WICA on Sunday, November 1 at 7:30pm with “Frida Kahlo dia de los Muertos”, a Day of the Dead Celebration featuring local poet Joni Takanikos. Join in a celebration of this ancient festival rooted in Mexico’s pre-Hispanic past and celebrated every year on November 1 (All Saints’ Day) and November 2 (All Souls’ Day).

The heart of the holiday is the honoring of deceased relatives and welcoming back the souls of loved ones for a brief visit.

Joni will read poetry and other writings of famed artist Frida Kahlo and there will also be an open-mic for those who would like to read from their own work. Small plates will be available for purchase and a no-host bar will be open from 6:30pm. All seats are $12.

Skull Island - Luke Davis: “Luke is a great student to have in any class. He is outgoing and engaged in the classroom. Luke is very personable with a great sense of humor. Skull Island teachers are would like to recognize Luke Davis as our first shipmate of the month for this year!”

Child’s Car Seat Safety Check Tuesday, Nov. 3 If you are a parent of young children and drive a car, there are some things you should know about car seat safety.

In the United States, only one in four car seats are correctly installed. Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death of children between the ages of 3 and 14. However, many of these deaths can be prevented through the proper use of child safety seats. Washington State has some of the toughest child car seat and booster seat laws in the nation. Securing a child in a properly sized and installed child car seat can and will prevent injuries.

South Whidbey parents can sign-up to reserve a spot or ask questions by emailing Carseats@swfe.org, while North/Central Whidbey parents can email CarseatsNW@gmail. com. Please include the number and ages of your children and bring your car seat owner’s manual. Drop-ins are also welcome.

$10 Million Federal Grant On Its Way To Mukilteo Ferry Terminal The Mukilteo Multimodal Ferry Terminal project will receive $10 million through the federal TIGER program, Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, announced this week. Larsen wrote a letter of support for Washington state’s application for these funds and has previously talked with the U.S. Department of Transportation secretary about the importance of the project.

The Mukilteo Multimodal Ferry Terminal project will help reduce congestion through Mukilteo and on State Route 525. The project includes a new passenger terminal building with pedestrian, bicycle and high-occupancy vehicle loading, better commuter rail connections, and a bus transit center.

“Investing in transportation infrastructure like the Mukilteo ferry terminal creates jobs and keeps our economy moving. Great news today for the commuters, businesses and visitors who rely on the Mukilteo ferry terminal: $10 million in federal funding is on its way to the project. This federal investment will help pay for a new terminal that will improve safety, traffic congestion and ease of access, making the terminal safer and more efficient for the people and businesses who depend on this route to get around.

“In Washington state, ferries are an extension

That’s why I have pushed since I was first elected to make sure Mukilteo gets a world-class multimodal facility. The Mukilteo ferry terminal project is a perfect example of how federal, state and private stakeholders can work together to make needed improvements to our transportation infrastructure.

“The project underscores the critical role the federal government plays in transportation investments and the need for a long-term surface transportation bill,” Larsen said.

Larsen worked for more than 10 years with local, state and federal stakeholders to transfer the property for the new terminal from the Air Force to the Port of Everett.

Marcia says she gets her inspiration from the earth’s natural elements and the pottery that evolves tends to have a rustic look. There is an old world charm that makes them a piece of art as well as being completely functional.

Born in Minneapolis and educated in England Barbara began her art career in Jackson Hole Wyoming. Family life took her to Bahrain in the Middle East and ultimately back to the Great Pacific Northwest where she works out of her studio on beautiful Whidbey Island. Her extensive travels have totally influenced the imagery and colorful vibrancy of her art today.

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

FRIGHTFULLY FESTIVE TREATS FOR HALLOWEEN! Halloween is right around the corner. We can see it peeking out from behind the curtains, waiting to scare us silly October 31. This is a holiday where we can alter our appearance so drastically and become something we aren’t in real life. Our human forms can take on that of a witch, ghost, zombie or a whole host of characters from books, movies and TV shows. This is a night where magical, mythical, eccentric and scary becomes the norm. Halloween has its origins rooted in an extremely old pagan celebration which was practiced by the Celts. This day was called Samhain (which is in fact pronounced, Sahween). The Celts believed, on this day, the souls of those who had passed during the year were able to mingle with the living. And, in a bid to avoid this and send those souls on their journey into the ‘otherworld’, offerings of fruit and harvest crops were made for the deceased to take with them. We do refer to Halloween and the day prior as ‘All Hallows’ and ‘All Hallows Eve’ which is actually a Catholic tradition. ‘All Saints Day’ was and still is celebrated November 1 and was a day reserved for the observance of all those who had passed away and received beatification in heaven, thus making them ‘hallowed’, hence the terms ‘All Hallows Eve’ and ‘All Hallows Day’. It’s of course worth mentioning that some people run both Halloween and All Hallows Eve together, as Christian missionaries’ passionate attempts to convert the pagan Celts to Christianity as well, is a major event apparently at this time of year. So the two singular, and vastly differing terms, have since become synonymous with one another.

So this got me wondering where the tradition of trick or treating began and how it came to be the good fun it is today. Well, in medieval times children and people stricken with poverty would participate in an event called ‘souling’. Those partaking would go door to door at homes in and around towns, singing and saying prayers for all those in that particular house. In return they were given food.

This occurred on All Saints Day (November 1) and while the tradition and reason for trick or treating may have changed over the course of a few hundred years, the premise of receiving something edible in exchange for a trick, (or prayer), is still very closely related.

Personally, Halloween is a bit of a stressful event for me. My children love it but I am a ‘fraidy cat’ so every little movement in the dark, or sound being made by festive holiday participants, scares me senseless. All in all though, I must admit it is good fun! My favorite part by far (since I have sweet teeth) is rummaging through my kids' candy bags and persuading them to share a few pieces with me. Easier said than done!

Would it also surprise you to know National Candy Corn Day is observed October 30 of each year? I think it’s safe to assume most people prefer to consume chocolate over the Halloween period and yet Candy Corn and its signature colors are a ubiquitous part of this holiday. It may not be a favorite for many but it certainly has left an incredible impression on just about everyone at this time of year.

It’s origins, like so many things in (food) history, have been lost in time but it is believed that sometime in the 1880s the Wunderle Candy Company began to produce these bright, waxy little treats en mass, and called them ‘Chicken Feed’. But if you stack them in a circle they resemble a corn cob.

In the early years of production, candy corn

required sheer strength and exceptionally dedicated man power to help fashion the colorful sweets. Thankfully, men with brutish muscle to complete the labor intensive task of candy corn making have now been replaced with industrial machinery. The recipe for Halloween’s seemingly trademark candy has not changed much since it first debuted and still uses fondant, corn syrup, sugar, and marshmallow among other ingredients. It has also broken the bonds of its relegation to the Halloween season and can be found throughout the year, in many stores across the United States, in a rainbow of colors and a wide array of flavors too.

This versatile little candy has been the backbone for many treats ranging from Candy Corn flavored Hershey’s Kisses (which were my favorite, but alas, I haven’t found them anywhere in a few years) to cereals and even popcorn!

In fact, with a plethora of candy always left over after a tiresome, grueling yet worthwhile spate of trick or treating, candy of all sorts can be used up in so many ways. Why not make yourself popular at work, and take in your left over treats (if allowed of course) and place them in a hard to miss place, for all your co-workers to enjoy? You could even put Halloween candy into little Ziploc baggies and include them every now and then in your child’s lunch, as a surprise treat. It gets used up that way and your child may think you’re even more awesome than you already are!

Those two aside, one of my favorite things to eat during this season is Halloween bark.

It’s fantastic and truly tickles each sense. A carpet of candy melts becomes a playground laden with M & M’s, Reese’s chocolate, candy corn, chopped up Butterfinger bars, pretzels, peanuts, so on and so forth. The combinations are endless and completely up to your taste buds' preference and how creative you want to get with it!

I hope this Halloween is ghoulishly exciting and frightfully fun for each and every one! I hope you are able to partake in all the festivities the day and night have to offer and if that just so happens to be a small dip into a candy jar or bucket, then so be it! I am going to include a recipe for Halloween Bark. Please email me any comments, information and of course recipes, because as always, I love to hear from you, so Let’s Dish!

Halloween Bark 1 and a half pounds of candy melts Butter for greasing 2 cups coarsely chopped pretzels ¾ cup of candy corn ¾ cup of Reese’s pieces or m and m’s ¾ cup of peanuts (optional) 8 to 10 oreos roughly chopped Line a baking pan with foil and grease with butter. Place candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and cook in microwave until melted.

Stir until completely smooth, and pour onto greased, foil lined pan. Add pretzels, candy corn, Reese’s pieces, m and m’s, peanuts and oreos to the candy melt spread, and press gently. Allow to set, and when it’s hardened break or cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container and enjoy at your leisure! www.tasteofhome.com www.slate.com www.catholic.org To read past columns of Let's Dish in the Whidbey Weekly, see our Digital Library at www.whidbeyweekly.com.

Electronic Attack Squadron 135 to Fly in Honor of St. Louis Arch 50th Anniversary

By Lt. j.g. Robert Silva Electronic Attack Squadron 135 Public Affairs Officer The "World Famous Black Ravens" of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 135 will conduct a flyover for the 50th anniversary of the construction of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis Oct. 24.

Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Maher and Lt. Anthony Nicolas from VAQ-135 will conduct a commemorative pass over the Arch in an EA-18G Growler at approximately 2 p.m.

CDT. Manufactured in St. Louis by Boeing, the EA-18G is the Navy's premier electronic attack aircraft capable of tactical jamming and electronic protection for allied forces.

The EA-18G is a variant of the combatproven F/A-18F Super Hornet Block II that

flies the airborne electronic attack mission. The EA-18G's vast array of sensors and weapons provide the warfighter with a lethal and survivable weapon system to counter current and emerging threats.

Based out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, VAQ-135 operates five EA-18G aircraft and recently returned home from a six-month deployment to the U.S. Pacific Command area of responsibility. The "World Famous Black Ravens" are honored to represent Naval Aviation and the electronic attack community with this commemorative flyover.

The naval officers conducting the flyover represent the men and women serving in the U.S. Navy today, at home and abroad.

OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE

Seabeas and Sailors recently participated in activities and played games with children from a local elementary school as part of a community relations project at the Kadena Air Force Base Youth Center.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3

NMCB 3, VP-16, and VP-46 visits Kadena Youth Center Story by Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Gomez Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 and Sailors from Patrol Squadrons 16 and 46 participated in a community relations project at the Kadena Air Force Base Jido-Kan, or “Youth Center,” Sept. 30.

The 12 Seabees and Sailors participated in various cultural and creative activities with elementary students.

One of the main activities that everyone enjoyed was a game of dodge ball with teams of service members mixed in with the children.

(U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Anna Van Nuys/Released) An EA-18G Growler assigned to the Rooks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 137 lands on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). Theodore Roosevelt is deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, strike operations in Iraq and Syria as directed, maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the region.

“Playing dodge ball with the kids was a blast,” said Engineering Aid 3rd Class Miguel A. Holguin. “The time I spent with them brought out the little kid in me.”

Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Jaime E. Schanbacher learned how to make an origami heart and how to say a few words in Japanese from a few of the children.

“It was organized chaos,” said Schanbacher. “It was a really great experience and a lot of fun. My favorite part was because it was free range of fun; they had several places to do different activities.”

Even though the children couldn’t speak English, the service members were able to connect through common music and games. Games such as ping pong, UNO, Othello, jump rope, dominos, and putting together a puzzle.

“It’s like having a bunch of siblings,” said Electronics Technician 3rd Class Scott E. Smuckergreen. “This is a great way to give back to our host nation for having us here.”

NMCB 3 is homeported in Port Hueneme, Calif., and is currently deployed to Okinawa, Japan. Its mission is to support Navy and joint forces throughout the U.S. Pacific Command with construction projects and humanitarian missions in more than 13 different geographical locations.

It was after graduating from Marshalltown Senior High School in 1962 and working as a Safeway manager trainee he decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy April 28, 1963.

Tom attended recruit training at NTC, San Diego, CA in May 1963 and had a varied career over the next 21 years. In August 1963 he was sent to ADJA School (jet engine repair) at NATTC in Memphis, TN. In March 1964 Tom was assigned to VQ-1 and stationed in Atsugi, Japan. In April 1966 he was assigned to VAH4, NAS Whidbey Island.

In November 1967, Tom was transferred to AIMD Power Plants at NAS Whidbey. In October 1971, the Navy sent him to AD “B” School in Memphis, TN for further training.

Upon returning to NAS Whidbey in May 1972, he became a “Plankowner” for VAQ-134 with the new EA6B aircraft and made two cruises with them. The most noteworthy was to Vietnam for the de-mining of Haiphong Harbor. After leaving VAQ-134 he went to NTC, San Diego from Basic Instructor Course in October 1975, returning to NAS Whidbey in December to NAMTGD 1001.

Film Shorts Courtesy of Cascadia Weekly

By Carey Ross 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 “diplomacy” in what is seen by some as the first big contender of this year’s Oscar season.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 43 min.)

Burnt: Somehow, Bradley Cooper has transformed himself from the epitome of a comedic playboy and lightweight rom-com star into the kind of actor with four Oscar noms to his credit. That said, although harmlessly entertaining, this movie is not going to earn him a fifth nod from the Academy–but as food porn goes, it’s not so bad.  (R • 1 hr. 40 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.)

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.)

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.)

Jem and the Holograms: Proving that nearly all of Hollywood is indeed out of original ideas comes this terrible live-action adaptation of a short-lived ’80s animated series that was not nearly as terrible.  (PG • 1 hr. 58 min.)

The Last Witch Hunter: Quoting directly from the synopsis, this is a movie in which “Vin Diesel is all that stands between humanity and the combined forces of the most horrifying witches in history.” The jokes, they make themselves.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 46 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.)

Our Brand is Crisis: Based (loosely) on the excellent 2005 documentary of the same, this mediocre adaptation starring Sandra Bullock is worthy neither of the story nor its star, but it probably won’t make you scorn your entire existence either.  (R • 1 hr. 48 min.)

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension: This is the fifth installment in a forgettable movie franchise. I can’t even muster enough interest to say something snarky about it. Oh wait.  (R • 1 hr. 24 min.)

Rock the Kasbah: Even Bill Murray can’t save this one.  (R • 1 hr. 40 min.)

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse: Directed by Michael Landon’s son and with a cast that includes Cloris Leachman, Tye Sheridan, and David Koechner, this horror comedy is either real bad or so bad it’s good.  (R • 1 hr. 33 min.)

Sicario: The Drug War and the price it exacts along the U.S./Mexican border is the subject of director Denis Villeneuve’s latest, and he enlists Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro to tell this gritty tale.  (R • 2 hrs.)

Steve Jobs: Does the world need another movie about Steve Jobs? No. But is the Steve Jobs movie the world needs the one written

by Aaron Sorkin, directed by Danny Boyle, starring Michael Fassbender, and lauded by critics far and wide? I’d argue the answer is yes.  (R • 2 hrs. 2 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 fifth installment written by Loretta Martin on behalf of Island Thrift Stores Tour.)

CHAPTER THREE: MARCH “Hey, would you two like a ride home?” Sara and Megan stopped as they saw Beth Leller pull up outside the school. “Sure!” they chorused climbing into the backseat of the old Toyota wagon. “How was school, girls?” “Great!” “Too long,” came the replies.

“Sounds like a mixed bag,” Beth chuckled. Sara wondered why her Mom was so upbeat today. Things had been kind of tense at home the last few weeks. Mom, Dad, and Grandma had whispered discussions after dinner when they thought she was asleep on her twin bed in the corner of the old dining room. Today Mom was actually humming a sappy old show tune as they dropped Megan off and bumped along the long drive to the Grandma’s house.

a long haul trucker while they shared lunch in the warehouse. “Charlie’s a great guy and a hard worker.

I can’t believe he’s still driving at seventy,” Dad said wistfully one day. “Don’t worry Paul,” Beth smiled, “You’ll get back on the road soon.” He gave her a hug and whispered, “I sure hope so honey.”

“Paul. Mama K. I have great news,” called Beth as she walked into the warm kitchen. “I landed a job today. It’s only part time as a barista but I hear the tips are good and it should take some of the burden off Mama K.” She gave Paul a hug. “I have news too,” said Paul. “Now that my leg is moving better I’ve decided to volunteer in the warehouse at Habitat for Humanity in Freeland. It’ll get me out of the house, I can see how my leg handles working hours and I might make some job connections.”

Then, toward the end of the month, Dad came home with a pile of papers and a big smile on his face. “Saturday they’re having a meeting of people interested in applying for a Habitat House. Charlie, who drives the furniture truck, told me we should apply.” That evening Mom, Dad, and Grandma sat at the kitchen table going over the papers until Sara finally fell asleep. When Saturday came, Mom and Dad dressed in their best clothes and set out for the meeting while Grandma and Sara walked down to the beach for a winter picnic with Jacob bundled up in his stroller. As they sat eating and watching the waves Sara asked, “What is a Habitat House Grandma?” “It’s a house a bunch of people in the community help a family build.

The family gets a discount on the house because they help with the building.” Sara thought about it for a minute and said, “Dad and Mom could do that and I could help.” Grandma hugged her.

The atmosphere in the house brightened in the next two weeks and Sara slept better since Mom and Dad both went to bed early and Grandma just sat quietly reading in the living room. Dad really seemed happier now that he felt he was doing important work, even if it was unpaid. He came home each evening with stories about the beautiful furniture donations they had received and the people he had helped with lighting fixtures and bathroom sinks. Dad seemed to particularly like Charlie and Bob, the Habitat delivery truck drivers. After they dropped off the new furniture donations, Charlie would tell tall tales of his days as

When they got home from the beach Mom and Dad were already there. “After hearing all about Habitat Housing, I think we have a good chance at one of these homes,” said Dad. “This calls for a celebration,” declared Mom. No cooking tonight Mama K. I’ve been saving up my tips for a week now and I’m taking us all out for dinner!” Sara jumped down from the table and grabbed the car keys. “Can I have ice cream for dessert?” “That might be arranged,” giggled Mom. As they drove up the highway Sara imagined a little house of their own with a pink bedroom for her.

She crossed her fingers and made a wish.

Clown around with these guys while helping your community

The Walk: In 1974, high-wire artist Philippe Petit stunned the world when he walked a tightrope between NYC’s Twin Towers, a feat that was immortalized in the Oscarwinning documentary "Man on Wire" (see it–it’s excellent) and now this visually arresting (to say the least) feature film (also not too shabby) starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and directed by Robert Zemeckis. (PG • 2 hrs. 3 min.)

Woodlawn: An Alabama high school desegregates, all racial hell breaks loose and the entire fabric of society is on the verge of collapse until a football player leads the team to a religious awakening and likely some kind of athletic glory as well. This is purportedly based on a true story. I’m sure no artistic license was taken because God sees all. ^^ (PG • 2 hrs. 3 min.)

an uphill climb for you and results may not be immediate. Patience prevails in the end.

CHICKEN LITTLE & THE ASTROLOGER

By Wesley Hallock

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Efforts to solve a problem only make matters worse on the 29th. Illusions regarding the true nature of the problem may put you at odds with a family member, coworker, or authority figure, but don’t despair. The help you’ve been counting on comes to your rescue on the 30th. Look for an added perk on the 31st. The 2nd finds you in good graces with an older person or mentor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The game of life has its ups and downs this week. Money hassles may get you down on the 29th. If the deck seems stacked against you, don’t panic. Solutions appear on the 31st and again on the 1st, when the cards turn more in your favor. Indicators are mixed on the 2nd, which means your luck is what you make it. A day to bet big?

Probably not, but you decide.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) It may seem the world is against you on the 29th, but hold your ground. Patience and a smile get you where you want to go. State your desires calmly and clearly and never mind the protests. Opposition is likely to be fierce for a day or two but that will change. By the 1st you’ll most likely get your way. Your biggest challenge? Not changing your mind half way there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your worries may be many on the 29th, but relax, the sky is not falling. By the 31st your prospects should improve dramatically. On the 1st comes your week’s most powerful day. It may not seem so at the time, but spouse, children and authority figures cannot help but be working in your favor. Be patient. Good things will come in mysterious ways, especially if you’re helping others to help themselves.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A community project or other group effort may hit a roadblock on the 29th. If too much seems to be expected of you, make sure you all agree on the goal. The situation is ripe for misunderstandings.

Favorable developments on the 1st should work in your favor, even if slowly. The 2nd is your best bet to make your views and desires known. You are a force to be reckoned with on that day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You command more personal power than usual at present, along with more than your share of challenges to using it. The challenges are likely quite noticeable on the 30th.

But by the 1st expect the scale to swing more in your favor. Your words are more than usually effective that day. But it’s still

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Opposition to your changing views is likely the 29th and 30th, but stand firm. (What’s the point in having a mind if you don’t change it once in a while?) People you thought were against you could surprise you on the 1st or 2nd by coming out in your favor. But every gain has its cost. On the 3rd you may have to back your words with money or other tangible support.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A temporary financial bind on the 29th may cause stress, but don’t rush to don your Chicken Little cap. The 31st should gain you some maneuvering room, while developments on the 1st could do much to ease the strain. After much give and take, you should be able to turn your situation around. Bridges can’t be built in a day, and neither can your final solution, but a lot is working in your favor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If your public face is more aloof than usual, it’s OK. You currently have many reasons to be intense, and the 29th could present one more. The challenges you face in the public arena can work for you or against you. On the 30th they will likely seem against you, but on the 1st could surprise you by turning the other way. Roll with it and keep you humor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Lofty inspirations for the business or work place are quite possible on the 29th. If they appear, don’t immediately disregard them as unworkable. In light of possible developments on the 1st, they may look much more reasonable. Some of those developments may be external, but they could also be taking place within. Your views of what makes life worth living are changing. Don’t underestimate your power to make your life better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) Intellectual pursuits are favored on the 29th, especially in groups. (Mind-mapping, anyone? Trivial Pursuit?)

Should your ideas be more than a game, expect them to be met with challenges on the 30th. And again on the 1st. The payoff, should your brainchild prove practical, most likely comes on the 3rd. But don’t worry if it proves impractical. (And disregard the naysayers who scoff that it hardly pays to think.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Strong forces are at work in your life and they don’t always agree. The pull on the 29th is between public and private, taking you away from home against your will. Travel becomes likely on the 30th, either business or personal. If you’ve been reluctant to travel, the 1st may deliver unexpected reasons to be glad. The 2nd and 3rd may be stressful but could prove worthwhile in ways you’d never guess. © 2015, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved
