"You're number fourteen," the old Chief answered, taking another sip from his double shot of twelve-year-old scotch, "Two Air Force, three Navy and, including you, nine Marines.”

Back to school Don't you wish you could go back to class for just one day to answer the following thirteen questions with a touch of sarcasm? According to the reader e-mail I received, these are actual questions and answers from a student. As a professional cynic, I call that “fake e-mail,” but as an amateur sarcasm'er, I say “enjoy.”

“My brother in law is a karate expert. He joined the army. The first time he saluted, he killed himself.”

“Getting on a plane, I told the ticket lady, 'Send one of my bags to New York, send one to Los Angeles, and send one to Miami.' She said, 'We can't do that!' I told her, 'You did it last week!'”

Surely you provided drum rolls and cymbal crashes at the appropriate time. Thank you for this timely interaction.

Recall After ten years, the wife starts to think their kid looks kind of strange so she decides to do a DNA test. She finds out that the kid is actually from completely different parents.

Wife: “Honey, I have something very serious to tell you.”

Husband: “What’s up?”

I'm not sure I get that last one. But I do get this next one.

Wife: “According to the DNA test results, this is not our kid.”

Fishing The rain had stopped. There was a big puddle in front of the bar just outside the American Legion. A rumpled old Navy Chief was standing near the edge of the puddle with his fishing line immersed. A curious young Marine fighter pilot came over to the Chief to ask what he was doing.

Husband: “Well, you don’t remember, do you? When we were leaving the hospital, we noticed that our baby had soiled himself. You said, ‘Honey, please go back inside and change the baby, I’ll wait for you here.' So I went back inside, left the dirty one there and got a clean one.”

"Fishing," the old Master Chief simply said.

Moral: Never give a man a job that confuses him.

"Poor old chief," the Marine officer thought to himself and invited the old Navy Chief into the bar for a drink. As the Marine felt he should

Bits & Pieces 5th Annual Instant Wine Cellar Event to Benefit United Way

Community businesses and individuals are once again lending their support for a good cause, donating food from local restaurants, wine from local wineries and beer from Flyer’s Restaurant & Brewery for the Instant Wine Cellar.

Letters to the Editor Correction The August 24-August 30 issue of Whidbey Weekly had a picture associated with the wrong press release. The picture that published with Penn Cove Gallery Welcomes New Artist on page 5 was a picture of Isis Beckwith and belonged with the submission from the Pacific NorthWest Art School. Whidbey Weekly apologizes for the error and are republishing the submission as it should have run.

Editor, Thanks to all who made this year’s Juried Art Show and Sale a success! Countless volunteer and committee hours go into this fundraising effort for the art school. We are so thankful to those who attended and purchased art. We had a record number of submissions, Friday night attendance and some great sales!

Featured here is a new emerging artist who sold work, received an Honorable Mention and participated for the first time. Thanks Isis Beckwith for sharing your beautiful work with everyone. Isis’s story is an interesting one.

Originally from Nicaragua she started a traditional path of nursing only to realize she was an artist at heart. After a stint in the Navy and while stationed here on Whidbey, she began studying art. She is currently enrolled at WWU working on her MFA. She saw our advertising in Oak Harbor for the Juried art show and decided to enter. Isis is a painter, photographer and fiber artist. Her painting of the endangered California Condor caught the eye of a patron. Congrats Isis and to every other artist who participated!

Lisa Bernhardt Executive Director, Pacific NorthWest Art School

The Instant Wine Cellar party is planned for Friday, October 6 at 7:00pm, at the Elk’s Lodge in Oak Harbor.

Community Partnership Celebrates 10th Anniversary Gifts from the Heart Food Bank and the Coupeville Farmers Market are proud to announce the 10th Annual Food Bank Harvest Relays, to be held September 23, on the Community Green in Coupeville.

What started out as a fun way to celebrate the end of the market season while providing monetary support to the local food bank, the Harvest Relays have become a tradition and a steady source of funding for Gifts From the Heart Food Bank.

The Relays consist of 5 different games/challenges, all relating in someway to food and particularly to local food. The course is laid out for two teams at a time and none of the events are published prior to the run. Past relay events have included such things as shelling dry beans while wearing gloves and sitting in a rocking chair, pumpkin “putting”, cabbage targets, fish flinging, and many more. In honor of the 10th anniversary, some prior events will return.

This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Relays. While the date has changed, mostly due to adverse weather the last three years, to the end of September and not the last day of the market, they remain a wonderful opportunity to do good and have fun as a community.

There are many ways to participate: Form a relay team (5 people) team forms available at Gifts from the Heart and the Market Make a monetary donation for a specific team Make a monetary donation in general Be an enthusiastic member of the audience for the Relays Save the date – Saturday, September 23, on the Community Green and in the heart of the Coupeville Farmers Market. Races start at noon, but come early to support your team!

Officials Mark Launch of Mukilteo Ferry Terminal Construction Project, Announce $4.6 Million Investment in Mukilteo Research Station Wednesday, August 30, Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) joined with officials from the Washington State Department of Transportation to mark the launch of the new Mukilteo Ferry terminal construction project. The new terminal, which is expected to open in 2019, will provide safer, more reliable and more efficient travel for the more than four million riders who take the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry route each year.

Immediately afterwards, Larsen, Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregerson, the office of U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries’ Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) Director Kevin Werner announced a $4.6 million dollar federal investment in the NWFSC’s Mukilteo Research Station. These resources will cover design and environmental work to support a major upgrade of the leading marine research facility.

www.whidbeyweekly.com LOCALLY OPERATED. Scientists at the Mukilteo Research Station study salmon and other marine species in and around Puget Sound, assessing the impacts of ocean acidification and marine diseases to help inform fisheries management decisions. The current facility, which was built in the 1940s, has undergone significant structural deterioration and poses an “imminent” safety risk to NOAA Fisheries personnel.

Larsen and Murray have long-championed efforts to modernize the Mukilteo Research Station and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center, which together provide research to support the Northwest’s multi-billion dollar commercial and recreational fisheries as well as more than 60,000 jobs.

Make a Difference

By Carman Lore

Intern, Whidbey Island Conservation District

OUR OWN LITTLE PIECE OF ECOLOGY Greetings from Whidbey Island Conservation District (WICD) intern, Carman Lore! To introduce myself, and how I came to intern for WICD, I grew up on south Whidbey and graduated from South Whidbey High School (SWHS) in 1997. Spending time away at school and experiencing the outside world, I was mostly off island until 2005 when I returned. It wasn’t until 2009, however, that I started to work in the natural world as a gardener. In 2015, this became a new program of study as a student in the Edmonds Community College (EdCC) horticulture program. As part of finishing up my degree, I’ve sought an internship with WICD and have been granted some quality internship experiences. Moving forward after my horticulture degree, you might see me doing some fine gardening work for south-enders, but I’m also interested in developing as a writer – with any combination of professional, technical, and fictional content. As such, WICD has been gracious enough to have me write this article for the paper.

WICD is all about conserving natural resources, so I thought I’d add to its general message by talking about ecology and native plants. My degree from EdCC will specifically be in Landscape and Restoration Horticulture. Don’t let the “Landscape” label fool you though – it’s more like Ornamental Horticulture (fine gardening), as I don’t aspire to be a “landscaper.” However, I do embrace the restoration part of my education. Restoration is all about ecology. In fact, it’s sometimes referred to as “Restoration Ecology,” and the practice of it is known as “Ecological Restoration.” Unlike my little sister, who is a professor of Ecology, I’m not an expert on ecology but I do know some of the basics. Perhaps you might be curious to know about ecology too, and how it relates to conserving resources on your land.

Ecology is the study of organisms and how they relate to their surroundings and each other. For the purpose of this article, ecology means how plants and animals interact and maintain their continued survival. The need for restoration both on our own landscapes and the greater Whidbey Island region is based on native plants and animals losing their trajectory of continued species survival. Restoration seeks to restore the interactions of the ecosystem so existing native plant and animal species continue to survive. Some people attempt to restore ecosystems to a point in history – for example, the flora and fauna of 100 years ago. Others focus mostly on restoring the ecosystem processes to a sustainable plant and animal community, while accepting the fact it might be somewhat changed from 100 years ago. One quality which helps ecologists evaluate the health of an ecosystem is the biodiversity found within it – this is a count of the number of separate species living within the ecosystem (the number of different plants and animals found within a certain boundary). Factors that influence the stability of an ecosystem include: • Water availability (amount of rain, level of water table, etc.)

• Presence of topsoil (this can wash away with erosion or be removed in development activities) • Presence of pollution • Space to establish • Exposure to sunlight, shade, or shelter for animals • Disturbance from unusual activity (this might include soil compaction from unusual human or livestock traffic) All of these factors might even be considered when planning your home residential garden beds! It doesn’t have to just be about wild spaces when we think of these things.

To give you an idea of how ecology is viewed on a national level, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delineated significantly different environmental conditions (defined as “ecoregions”) at multiple different levels. At the finest level, “level IV,” there are 967 different ecore-

gions within the conterminous United States! Up one level, to “level III,” there are 105 bigger regions encompassing all those smaller regions.

At that third level, Whidbey Island is part of the Puget Lowland. The Puget Lowland includes land central to Puget Sound, including the following regions: • Fraser Lowland • Eastern Puget Riverine Lowlands • San Juan Islands

• Eastern Puget Uplands • Central Puget Lowland • Southern Puget Prairies • Cowlitz/ Chehalis Foothills • Cowlitz/Newaukum Prairie Floodplains The “Puget Lowlands” is defined by the EPA as being ‘characterized by a mild maritime climate.

It occupies a continental glacial trough and is composed of many islands, peninsulas, and bays in the Puget Sound area. Coniferous forests originally grew on the ecoregion’s ground moraines, outwash plains, floodplains, and terraces. The distribution of forest species is affected by the rainshadow from the Olympic Mountains. Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western red cedar, grand fir, red alder, and bigleaf maple are common forest components. A few small areas of oak woodlands occur in drier locations.’ If interested, check out the EPA’s website at www.epa.gov/eco-research/ ecoregions for links to look at the actual maps showing these regions. Whidbey Island’s fourth level classification puts it in the “Olympic Rainshadow” region, along with additional land to the west of the island.

Nestled within the big picture of EPA ecoregions lies the peace and serenity many of us find at our homes, or locally, on Whidbey Island. I currently live in my childhood home on the south end in Clinton, on four acres. Some of the property is composed of native remnant forest with beautiful mature Western red cedars (Thuja plicata). The second most common trees in our forest are Douglas fir trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii). We also have some red alder trees (Alnus rubra), and even a Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and red elderberry (Sambucas racemosa) or two. Common understory plants for us are red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium), evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), Western sword fern (Polystichum munitum), ocean spray (Holodiscus discolor - I love the mature arching forms of this plant), dull or short Oregon grape (Mahonia nervosa), salal (Gaultheria shallon), and a bunch of bracken ferns (Pteridium aquilinum). One of my favorite scenes is a sort of natural Amphitheatre of sword ferns.

We don’t have the topography of that at home, but I love it whenever I see it - often on the side of the road next to a stream.

When witnessing the natural beauty that’s everywhere, even on the side of the road, contributing to plant and animal continued existence (ecoregion stability) might be of interest to everyone, and associated resource conservation. WICD most likely has some material on any resource conservation topic of interest to you, and native plant publications along with rain garden instructions are but a few of the offerings. There’s also a native plant sale run by the WICD beginning in November – www.whidbeycd.org/native-plantsale. At EdCC, I have taken a class entitled ‘Native Plants.’ It’s offered summer quarter through the horticulture department, meets once a week, and was part of my degree. I'll share one of the key morsels of guidance learned in the Native Plants class: take a copy of Pojar and Mackinnon's Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast with you on hiking adventures, walks in the woods, or even just into your backyard. WICD has a copy of this book in their resource library located at the office, if you’d like to check it out, and it's widely accepted as a great field guide. In addition to consulting the WICD regarding your native plant needs, consider looking at this book for ideas about native plants and how to incorporate them into your landscape and contribute to Whidbey restoration.

6th annual festival to fill Oak Harbor streets with sweet music

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly

It really won’t matter what you wear, so long as you’re at the sixth annual Oak Harbor Music Festival, beginning at 5 p.m.

Friday evening on SE Pioneer Way in downtown Oak Harbor and running through 6 p.m. Sunday.

With more than 30 musical acts of all genres poised to perform, this “little” festival packs a big musical wallop – both for those brave enough to dance in the streets and those talented folks playing their hearts and souls out on stage. The OHMF has continued to gain momentum since it began six short years ago.

“All we need is music, sweet music.

There’ll be music everywhere…"

Lyrics from “Dancing in the Streets" - Written by Marvin Gaye, William “Mickey” Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter

“We’re not done yet,” said OHMF board president Cynthia Mason. “We have done incredibly well to be at six years, but let’s keep going. It’s truly like our motto says – we want to inspire the community through music.”

Mason, whose husband, Larry, does the booking for the festival, said they have had more than 500 inquiries from performers to be part of the festival over the years, which speaks volumes for its reputation in the music world.

This year’s headliner is Louisiana singer/songwriter Marc Broussard. The 35-year-old’s style is a mix of funk, blues, rock and pop with Southern roots.

“We’ve got Marc Broussard headlining Saturday night and

The Loving Mary Band, who is performing with Steven Tyler at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup on Sunday, approached us about being part of the festival this year,” Mason said. “It’s kinda fun and I think it’s a real feather in our cap.”

Other musicians seem to agree.

“We really wanted to play the festival,” said Brad Wilson, who will perform at 6 p.m. Saturday on the Island Thrift Stage with his Rollin’ Blues Thunder Band. “There’s some really great buzz about the festival on social media and it just sounds like a new, cool, wonderful place to perform.”

Photo Courtesy of the Loving Mary Band Before performing with rock legend Steven Tyler at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup on Sunday, the Loving Mary Band will perform at the Oak Harbor Music Festival at 8:30 p.m. Saturday on the Wrights Crossing Stage.

For his part, Broussard, who will play on the Island Thrift Stage at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, said as long as they’ve got a clean place to sit and a machine to do some laundry, they’re not too particular (although the OHMF has a reputation for treating its performers very well), because all they really need is a place to play.

“Any time I can be under the sky and out in the open and get

to share the experience with a large group of people who are all there and present together for a single thing - to enjoy a good, honest moment – I’m not sure there’s anything better in the world than that,” he said. “To be present with thousands of people is a very rewarding experience for me.

“And I would expect me and the boys will come into town ready to throw down,” Broussard continued. “It’s been a relaxing summer but it’s time to get back to work and we aim to get out there and set the stage on fire.”

“We’re bringing our “A” game,” said Wilson, who puts on a blues/rock guitar-style show. “Our primary goal, from the time we open on stage, is to get the audience involved.

“My first love is playing somewhere where I can see people’s faces, to make eye contact,” he continued “To be in a setting like that allows me to get more feedback – and this is going

Ryan’s House opens new health center

By Kathy Reed Whidbey Weekly

Ryan’s House for Youth has taken another step forward in its goal to provide comprehensive services to homeless youth and young adults on Whidbey Island at a centralized location.

The center just opened its teen and young adult integrative health center at its main campus, which is located just south of Coupeville, across from the Island Transit Station. Initially the health center will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. on Fridays, although that schedule will grow as more qualified personnel are added.

Family nurse practitioner and outreach medical provider, Theresa Granger, has headed up the clinic project.

“All youth should have access to primary care,” she said. While the clinic is not a primary care facility, Granger stressed that when they see youth for coughs, colds, flu, fevers and minor injuries, it can often lead to further health screenings and get them on the road to receiving regular care from a primary physician.

“We are frequenters of the emergency room,” said Ryan’s House executive director Lori Cavender, explaining they often have to accompany youth to the emergency room when a condition has worsened. The hope is this new health center will allow 12 to 24-year-olds access to basic health care and treatment, rather than resorting to a trip to the emergency room.

“We want to be a bridge to other services,” said Granger.

But the clinic will offer certain services to all youth on the island as well. Last week the health center provided its first sports physical to a Whidbey Island youth.

Photo by Kathy Reed/Whidbey Weekly The new integrative health clinic is beginning to take shape at Ryan’s House for Youth in Coupeville. The clinic is currently open from 1 to 5 p.m. on Fridays.

The sports physical program offered at the Ryan’s House health center is open to all students in middle school, high school and college.

“It’s a way to involve the entire island and it’s an opportunity for fundraising on a continuing basis,” Granger explained. “We don’t charge for this service but we do suggest a $30 donation if possible.

“It’s a good service,” she continued. “Everybody has kids who like to do sports. Now people no longer have to go off-island to get a sports physical. It will give the community another option.”

According to a recent survey, there were 115 unaccompanied/homeless youth living on Whidbey Island who were attending school.

That figure does not include youth ages 18 to 24, a number Cavender estimates is much higher.

Ryan’s House serves teens and young adults from age 12 to 24 – what the state classi-

MUSIC continued from page 8

While the music festival is able to attract nationally known performers like Broussard and Wilson, organizers also embrace artists from Whidbey Island and the immediate vicinity. Groups like the Island Jazz Collective, the Hot Club of Troy and the Sea Notes are all part of the festival lineup. Also included are up and coming young performers like Backyard Bison and winners of the teen talent competition.

“It all goes back to community and we really hope to see that arm of the event grow,” said Mason, who said the OHMF has given away $18,000 in scholarships so far across Island County. “Helping young children who are interested in pursuing a career in music really strikes a chord with Larry. I think we’ve got a nice mentoring program set up and we are able to kind of give it to them in small doses.”

As in past years, the festival will take place along SE Pioneer Way, with the Wrights

fies as “youth,” because there is scientific evidence that proves a young person’s brain isn’t fully developed until age 25. Because the facility recently lost out on a $200,000 grant for improvements to the property due to concerns over contact between underage youth and young adults, the health care center has been made possible by private funding sources.

Granger volunteers her time, as will Dr. Tom Kenney, who moved to Whidbey Island a couple of years ago.

A drop-in center is currently up and running and is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is a supervised setting which provides youth access to food, showers, laundry facilities, clothing, school supplies and more. Ryan’s House also provides case management assistance of many kinds and helps youth with a number of things, such as finishing high school, applying for college, resume building, mock interviews and more.

“I heard Lori give a talk about Ryan’s House at the Unitarian Church a while ago,” he said. “I thought it sounded like an opportunity to give back to the community, to do something positive.”

“We are truly blessed,” Cavender said.

“Not only have we been able to acquire this building, but we are able to offer necessary services. The kids are the ones who are benefitting.

Current plans for the clinic space call for it to be used for many purposes, such as health care, social work, mental health, massage therapy and acupuncture.

By Carey Ross Annabelle: Creation: Seriously, anyone who took one look at the demented doll in this movie would know it was made for murder and would smash it into a thousand pieces and then shoot the debris into space immediately, which is likely the plot premise for this movie’s inevitable next chapter.  (R • 1 hr. 49 min.)

Birth of the Dragon: This biopic, which focuses on the specific period of Bruce Lee’s life in which he challenged kung fu master Wong Jack Man to a martial arts battle for the ages, arrives in theaters with no fanfare and a serious side-eye from Lee’s daughter.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 31 min.)

The Dark Tower: Is it too much to ask of this long-gestating Stephen King adaptation that it not be utter garbage so Idris Elba can finally realize his potential as my future movie-star boyfriend? I guess it is. Maybe next time, Idris.  (PG-13) Despicable Me 3: The fact this franchise is three movies in and hasn’t made a horrifying misstep yet is just another sign one should never question the bizarrely relatable comedic gifts of Steve Carell. I bow down to you, Gru.  (PG • 1 hr. 30 min.)

Dunkirk: My love for director Christopher Nolan is no secret, and I feel like I have been waiting for this movie about the WWII battle and evacuation of Dunkirk just this side of forever. Nolan never lets me down, but I need this to be the one that finally gets him the Best Director Oscar nomination he should’ve gotten for "The Dark Knight." Or "Inception." Or "Interstellar."  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 47 min.)

The Emoji Movie: This movie is at 6 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and I have never felt so validated in my life.  (PG • 1 hr. 26 min) The Glass Castle: Of all the glut of navelgazing memoirs out there, Jeannette Walls’ heart-wrenching story of her hardscrabble upbringing is far and away one of the best.

A movie cannot possibly do it justice, and lo, this movie does not.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 7 min.)

The Hitman’s Bodyguard: This movie comes with the tagline “Get triggered.” Ugh forever. Go see anything else instead.  (R • 1 hr. 51 min.)

Ingrid Goes West: I’ve been waiting for Aubrey Plaza to find a role that fully harnesses her understated comedic gifts and as an unhinged social media stalker who travels

Logan Lucky: Steven Soderbergh, who knows his way around a heist flick, is out of retirement and back with his best crime caper since "Ocean’s 11." Starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Daniel Craig, and set against the rich cultural backdrop of NASCAR, this is what a good time at the movies looks like.  (PG-13 • 1 hr. 59 min.)

The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature: Easily the best part of the continuing animated saga of Surly Squirrel and his quirky cohort is the movie’s title–but you have to admit, that’s a pretty good title.  (PG • 1 hr. 26 min.)

Spider-Man: Homecoming: Spider-Man has always been sort of the stepchild of the juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Finally, he gets the right star (Tom Holland), the right villain (played by Michael Keaton), the right mentor (Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr.) to be the web-slinging superhero we’ve all been waiting for.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 14 min.)

Valley of Bones: A disgraced paleontologist gets a hot tip about a T. Rex from a meth addict and wants to dig it up, but a pesky drug cartel gets in the way.  (R • 1 hr. 30 min.)

War for the Planet of the Apes: The end chapter in a surprisingly excellent trio of "Apes" movies? Or a near-future parable in which man fights beast for planetary supremacy? Only time and nature will decide.  (PG-13 • 2 hrs. 20 min.)

Let’s Dish! with Kae Harris

The Food of our Labor The achievements of all those workers who contributed and continue to contribute to the American economy is certainly nothing short of an amazing feat. For such a vast and expansive country, I marvel at how built up it is and I think of all those who put work and effort into the nation, to ensure it is strong and prosperous, and feel admiration for them all. So in recognition of all the hard work put into building up America, the first Monday of every September has been allocated for the purpose of celebrating laborers/workers in our wonderful country.

So how is a person to celebrate this day? Any way you want to of course! I’m well aware most people partake in a barbecue on Labor Day, which is great. I mean, we love a good outdoor feast here in America after all. In addition, the window of time between summer and fall is closing, so getting one last barbecue in before it closes completely, might be a very good idea.

Then I wondered, what on earth could I talk about with regards to outside grilling, seeing as how it’s such a popular thing to do, surely we do it all already? No, actually. My perusal of recipes in family recipe books and picking the brains of my friends for ideas about exactly how to please a crowd over Labor Day, ignited the creative coals of inspiration and let me see we are far from ‘having-done-it-all-already’ at barbecues and I’m going to give some of the inspiration to you here.

We all know salads of course; wonderful fresh greens of any and every sort, tomatoes, onions, olives, cheeses, and so on – all the basics of a leaf-based salad. Those are great to have at any cookout, but I sometimes hesitate to make them because I don’t want the leaves to wilt during the event and render my salad a little lackluster.

Instead, I opt for different kinds of non-leaf salad. And what’s a salad anyway but a great big intermingling of ingredients that come together in fabulous flavor matrimony. This is where I get to tell you one of the truly tastiest ways a person could consume green beans is in a salad.

By combining fresh, trimmed and boiled green

beans with a vinaigrette comprised of mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper, and maple syrup all tossed with fresh roasted pecans, you set yourself up for culinary success with your guests for sure! Something about this combination – while unusual, I admit – just makes a meal go from good to great. What’s even better is it can be served both hot or cold, it’s really up to you.

How about a coleslaw? Not the traditional kind, no. Not that this cookout favorite isn’t delicious in its very traditional way, but let’s go with something different. Thai inspired perhaps? Crisp red and green shredded cabbage mixed with matchstick carrots, finely sliced green onions and fresh chopped cilantro lay the foundations of this East Asian flare fare. But it’s not the foundations that make Thai inspired coleslaw so fantastic. It’s the dressing. Lime juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sriracha (a definite must) and last but not least, peanut butter, all blended together perfectly and into which is tossed the ‘foundation’ ingredients.

Unbelievable, far flung fare, with exquisite flavor that promises to up the ante at any cookout.

But what’s a barbecue without the, well, barbecue? The main course of any cookout is usually quite simple. Hamburgers, hotdogs, perhaps chicken and ribs, the staples you know, but what if we can prepare these customary foods in ways to pique the hungry interest of your barbecue attendees, even if it’s a small function. I’ll let you all in on a secret barbecue recipe, a gem as it were, among grilled gems. This recipe I found online and it is most certainly one of the more unusual ones I’ve tried. While a little involved, it was worth the effort. By marinating beef top round steak in lime juice and vegetable oil, and then grilling this until it’s cooked through, you have the backbone of what’s called a barbecue burrito. Combining the cooked beef with cheese, onion, avocado, tomato and barbecue sauce of your choosing, rolling it all up in soft flour tortillas and then cooking this for a short while on the grill, gives you something quite different than usual barbecue fare. And to get this amazing meal down with even greater efficacy,

LOCALLY OPERATED.

a little homemade salsa helps out just fine.

WHAT’S GOING ON

You could do so many things with your favorite barbecue ingredients. Just get creative, go online, do a quick search to find something you know will fit the bill when it comes to your cookout and let the food you make do the talking.

Of course you know I cannot, absolutely cannot, leave out dessert for an occasion such as this.

You could always opt for something simple like grilled peaches with crème fraiche, or maybe grilled pineapple spears with a drizzle of honey and some whipped cream for dipping. Sounds phenomenal! But if it’s something more you’re looking for in a dessert, something different as well, how about a sweet dip? This next one actually teeters on the ledge between barbecue fare and fall food so what better time to make and share it than Labor Day? It’s a toffee and cinnamon cream cheese dip and the beauty with this dessert is it’s so fluid and versatile it could even be considered a starter…I’m just kidding there, but it really is versatile in the sense you could dip anything into it from fruits to cookies and even breads. With swirls of cinnamon lacing through the tangy cream cheese, toffee bits, chocolate bar pieces and brown sugar cutting through the tartness, this dessert is a winner for sure!

Dear readers, I hope your Labor Day is filled with fun, family, laughter, and of course good food.

I am including the recipe for the toffee and cinnamon cream cheese dip and if you try it, let me know how you like it!

path ahead when you face forward once more. Don’t be too literal on the 31st.

CHICKEN LITTLE & THE ASTROLOGER

By Wesley Hallock

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Consistency is not a word likely to apply to you this week. Turnabouts are probable and reversals of direction with little or no notice can all be expected, most of them initiated by you. Speed and agility in deed and word are necessarily a part of your stock in trade at present. These being normal and natural qualities of yours, anyway, you’re well equipped for the week ahead. This bodes well on the 31st.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. Remember that if things turn out in ways you didn’t expect this week. An overload of conflicting agendas and over-anxious attitudes among the people at large means that not everyone gets their way. No one loses all the time, however. If this turns out not to be your week for triumphs, it means you’re one step closer to a more favorable finish next time around.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Acts of persuasion figure largely in your week. You may find yourself on the receiving end of someone else’s impassioned plea, while at another time, you could be the one delivering a convincing argument. The upside is that whatever unfinished business you carry into the week should be settled and done by week’s end. The 31st is a day to be flexible in your attitudes and routine.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) An extra measure of emotional intensity backs your actions this week, making you a force that others must reckon with.

A lot of what you’re feeling is the reflection of turmoils on-going around you. Anything the affairs of others trigger in you can be harnessed and turned to positive use, provided you have purpose and direction. Be clear in what you’re about on the 31st and you should have no problem staying on track.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Outlandish ideas and dreamy musings play a probable part in what you’ll be hearing from others this week. However unlikely you deem the things you hear to be, don’t be too quick to dismiss people. They may or may not have both feet on the ground, but what matters more is that if the dreams they roll out truly have wheels under them, they can easily be put in motion on the 31st.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be ready to retrace your steps this week if you hope to put matters to rest that you once thought wrongly were done.

The surprises you uncover in the process will more than repay you for the inconvenience of a little backtracking. It is not only you who’ll benefit. The outward ripple that comes of righting your affairs promises a smoother

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Don’t rush to judgment too quickly in your dealings with others. Although at times you may choose to think otherwise, people are not really out to get you. Their barbs can be harmlessly deflected, and if you’re not too quick to take offense, some may even work in your favor. It’s as if you’re surrounded by an aura of protection this week, allowing you to lighten up, relax and accept life as it comes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Differences of style and temperament can enhance your efforts to get at the truth this week. They can also become a bugaboo that makes tempers flare. Which it will be depends much on how well you’re able to keep your objective in mind and not let personalities get in the way. If you can do that, the emerging facts of the matter will more than compensate for imagined hurts to your pride. Use the 31st to advantage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A philosophical approach to life is the very thing that will put you ahead this week. It will also serve to distinguish you from the howling pack whose insistence on taking life too literally is a threat to the forward progress of all. Do not hesitate if you feel the desire to stop and smell a figurative rose along the way. Rest on your own skills and abilities on the 31st and never mind those who fail to see the wisdom of your ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Differences of opinion are something you should look forward to this week.

Viewpoints other than your own are useful and constructive at present, a valuable aid in reaching understandings and agreements that you could not have arrived at alone.

Something of value awaits in every encounter, even the ones you would not have chosen if you had full choice in the matter.

Nothing is what it seems on the 31st.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) Two heads are better than one this week, and collaboration puts you ahead in your game.

The less you and a certain other see eye to eye, the better for both of you in the long run. If you both play your cards honestly, you’re helping one another to banish tunnel vision and limited thinking.

Illusions you harbor at the start stand to vanish by week’s end. Use the 31st to full advantage.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If your hopes and dreams of what could be seem impossibly remote, take heart. There is a way to bring the object of your desire closer. The problem is not that you ask the impossible. It’s that in terms of solutions, you’re thinking is too small and limited only to yourself. Other people are essential to your cause, especially on the 31st. The more socially interactive you are on that day, the farther you will go. © 2017, Wesley Hallock, All Rights Reserved

Life Tributes OLGA B EVANS Olga “Bel” Evans–daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, and friend–lived life to the fullest, for 98 years and 25 days.

She was born July 12, 1919 in New Haven, CT to Andrew and Efrasinia Belevich. Shortly after she graduated from St. Raphael’s Nursing School, World War II broke out. She and her best friend, Fitzie, decided to join the Army to help with the war effort. After basic training, they went for further training to become Army Air Corps Flight Nurses, which turned out to be “the adventure of a lifetime.”

Just before the war ended, Bel met and married the love of her life, Donald Evans.

Together, they raised 3 children, moved from NY to GA then to CA, and finally settled down in Charlotte, NC. When their children were grown, Don and Bel moved to the sweet, little village of Blowing Rock, NC in 1971. Bel continued to live there, in the splendor of the Appalachian Mountains, for another 23 years after Don died in 1988.

Bel loved people and made friends wherever she went. She thoroughly enjoyed sports (especially golf), was a fabulous cook (known for the bread she baked), and was an accomplished seamstress, knitter, and loved anything to do with crafts. She delighted in her flower garden, volunteered for community service whenever possible, and kept an immaculate home where everyone was welcomed with a true spirit of hospitality.

As the years passed, Bel moved to Oak Harbor, WA to live closer to her youngest daughter. She was a resident at Summer Hill Assisted Living for 5-1/2 years and spent the past 6 months residing at Careage of Whidbey. She was quite pleased with how well she adapted to her new home in the Pacific NW, adding how happy and safe she felt. It never ceased to amaze her how beautiful Whidbey Island is – with mountains in the distance, beautiful beaches, evergreen trees, and bald eagles soaring overhead.

Olga Bel Evans’ joyful heart gave out, August 6, 2017, while taking a nap. She is survived by her younger sister, Sonia Dunker; her son, Bob Evans; and her youngest daughter, Deborah Dinger (and her son-in-law, John Dinger). She was very proud of her four grandchildren: Heather Bowers, Eric Dinger, Meghan Harris, and Madison Evans. She delighted in being a great grandma to Nolan Evans, Micah Dinger, Luke Harris, Eliza Dinger, and would have loved to meet the newest addition to the family – Baby Boy Harris, due to be born mid-September.
