Greek words that, when put together, mean

“writing with light.’” The Chi-

nese provide the earliest known written record

of of camera ob-scura, or pinhole

HOLIDAY

Hugging is a simple way to express many different types

of affection, from friendly, to intimate, to familial.

It’s an action largely limited to primates — while we can find instances

of other animals in positions

that resemble hugging, there aren’t any other species that do it so frequently, and for so many

reasons

UFO DAY serves as a way for everyone to come together and watch the

skies on the same night in

search of UFOs, but that’s not its

only purpose. Many see the holiday as a

way to spread knowledge and

awareness of UFOs, making a case for their existence, and

hoping to make disciples out of

the dubious.

FUN PINWHEELS 4TH OF JULY CRAFTThey’re super quick and easy! You have pretty much everything you need already. You need cardstock paper (with patriotic designs or print patriotic designs on cardstock from your own printer), thumb-tacks or pins, unused pencils and a strong glue (I used glue dots). Just a hint to save you some frustration and travel time. Skip Target, Walmart, and the Dollar Store when looking for red, white and blue pencils. Head straight to an office supply store.

DIRECTIONS: Cut out large squares from the printable papers. 2. From eaqch corner, cut a line toward the center to form almost-tri-angles. (Do not go all the way to the center of the pinwheel. You are only cutting part way.). 3. Bend every other corner into the center of the pinwheel (overlap the center x slightly). 4. Release the cor-ners. Using a thumbtack, poke a hole in the center of the pinwheel (through the x) and in every corner that you folded. I found it easiest to poke through the paper and into a pin cushion. 5. Insert a pin into all four corner holes and then into the center hole. Push the pin into the side of a pencil eraser. (You can use the thumbtack instead of a pin. The thumbtack creates a larger hole than the pin, so if you use the pin, the wheel will spin more easily since it’s smaller than hole you created.). 6. Choose a center circle to glue over the pin, or use the pinwheel as is. Have fun! Source: onecreativemommy.com.

LEARNING GEOGRAPHY

In the summer of 2000, I was fortunate enough to find my way into a summer job working at Badlands National Park as an interpretive ranger. Camping out all summer on grassy buttes or in the prairie between end stage braided alluvial fans. During that wonderful experience, I spent a week alone in the South Unit. I can’t tell you how truly enjoyable it was just to be alone there. I walked in two miles to a glorious spot. The tiny buttes covered in grass were dissected by high angle, loose sediment walled chasms dissected by chalcedony dikes of varying colors. It was a visual won-derland. Prior to exhumation, erosion, and present-day view, the young ba-sin was expanding due to isostatic rebound creating faults, fractures, and malicious joint cracks for hot siliceous fluid to flow into (hence the dikes). You should have seen all the Uintathere bones and teeth, and mud covered rusting unexploded ordinance, eroding from the sediment. Leaving the area, I packed up my gear and b-lined it to meet my pick-up! That was a mistake. On my way in to my camp, I followed the natural topography but, in my haste heading out I forgot the re-ality of my surroundings and ended up at the edge of a cliff. I took off my gear and tossed it over the edge. If there’ s one sure way to make a decision, toss the lemming and see if you are going to chase it. I didn’t have a choice. If I didn’t make it back to the road in time, or within a half-hour of when I was supposed to? They would have sent in the cavalry and I wasn’t going to let that happen. I sat of the edge of the cliff above a straight ravine. I looked down, grabbed some grass, and placed my feet. Once my toes were en-gaged, I slid down off the grass into the gap. Arms and feet on the sediment walls I just let go a little bit all at once and started sliding. Hitting a calcite hard pan, I stopped for a break as a Doe and two fawns stopped and looked up at me. I swear to GOD I heard her say, “You see kids, that was just what your deadbeat father was like. A total dumby.”. I made it down, grabbed my pack, got picked up on time, and never told anyone that story until now.

ARTIST DISCOVERS WHEELAn Artist Profile by Larry Kantzer

For any other artist it would have been finding an old canvas and paint, or an old typewriter with stories still in it, but for Bob Schroep-fer, it was rediscovering his potters wheel, covered with dust and stacked in his barn years earlier as a testament to his commitment to raising a family. But now the nest was empty, the kids gone and on their way, and in an irony often repeated it is the empty nest that hatches a new artist. People picking up where they left off. Passions reengaged. Bob’s hands still had the memory of throwing on a pot-ter’s wheel, so he decided to focus on “Folk Garden Art, mainly vas-es and flower pots. What stands out about his work is its simplicity and earthiness. You never forget he’s working with clay. Even with the recently adopted designs on them, either carved into the vase or in bas-relief, the unpretentiousness of each piece remains. Add to this mix a large variety of succulents, and Bob Schroepfer has found a combination of art and nature that fit unquestionably to-gether. Come and appreciate Bob’s artistry at the Summer Arts Jam in Downtown Stanwood this July 12, 13 and 14.

DOG DAYS OF

SUMMER:

The dog days of summer

refer to weeks between July 3 and August

11. They are the hottest days

of summer. It’s called dog days not because the

temperature can make you

pant like a dog. The days were

named after the Dog Star (Sirius)

which rises around this

time.


PROPERLY DISPLAY OUR FLAGCare and handling of the American flag is steeped in tradition and respect. There is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag. This is called Flag Etiquette. The American flag should be held in the high-est of regards. It represents our nation and the many people who gave their lives for our country and our flag. Here are the basics on displaying the American flag: The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset. In the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously. The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it. The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather. After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff for 30 days. It’s called “half staff” on land ,and “half mast” on a ship. When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field , or “union”, is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from your house). The American flag is always flown at the top of the pole. Your state flag and other flags fly below it. The union is always on top. When displayed in print, the stars and blue field are always on the left. Never let your flag touch the ground, never...period. Fold your flag when storing. Don’t just stuff it in a drawer or box. When your flag is old and has seen better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried. Please do not throw it in the trash.

OUR FLAG – by Catherine Mallet

The flag that waves Old Glory across our native landIt tells a grand old story Of men who fought to let her stand

Her stripes of brilliant color that stand for coloniesWill always be remembered by men on land and sea

Her stars shine out to guide our way wherever we may roamAnd beckon us to never stray too far from home

Now that’s the story of our flag let’s keep her flying highLet’s love and guard her from all harm And praise her to the sky

BASEBALL – by John Gaines

Cotton candy, hot dogs glore, the burgers are grilling a game is in store. The pitchers are ready to take their stance, cause with each critical decision there is that chance.The field is ready the players are set,then the crowd calls for action to begin with a hit! The crack of the bat the flight of the ball might tell of a story that ends it all,or is it to be extra innings for the fans and their team.

Subway! I think everybody knows Subway. It is a franchise, but is a locally owned Subway on Camano Island. It is located in the Cama-no Plaza right on your way to one of the State Parks. The Address is: 370 NE Camano Dr. During these sunny summer days when heading on an outing to the beach with a picnic, here is a great plan, stop at Subway. You are in charge, deciding on your bread, meat, vege-tables and other condiments. I love vegetables, so they are the best part. This Subway is wheelchair accessible and has handicap tables. You can eat in, take out and also order online with their app. Make a sandwich or try a chopped salad or a breakfast sandwich. Right now, they have a special price on a certain sandwich each day. I found this list on the Internet but not sure if it is correct-Monday- sweet onion, Tuesday-Oven Roasted chicken, Wed-Turkey breast, Thursday Italian B.M.T., Friday-Tuna, Sat.-Black Ham and Sunday-Meatball Marinara. It does feel right though because I tried the turkey breast and wanted to come back the next day for my dining partner to try the Italian B.M.T. Check out this local Subway for their specials. It was interest-ing at their official site you can learn that they try to locally source their vegetables whenever possible. Their napkins are 100% recycled fiber and processed chlorine free. The salad bowls are 95% recycled content. The two young women wore cute head bands made with subway designed material. They were friendly and helpful. A group came in after us and they handled everybody in an efficient manner. When you want a healthy sandwich, this is a viable option with your bread, veggies and dressings you want. It can be a meal with chips, pop and cookies. The cookies are good but I’m trying to eat healthy. Reasonably priced and I was saved from doing the work of buying food stuff, cleaning and chopping it. Enjoy the summer!! 4 crab cakes.

Astronomy in the night sky over

Camano byWilliam Maxwell

Images taken from his observa-tory on Camano can be found atwww.astrobin.

com/users/WilliamM/

THE NORTHERN CROSS & THE CYGNUS STAR CLOUD The Northern Cross in Cygnus moves overhead for summer and with it comes the Cygnus Star Cloud. If our galaxy was free of dust and soot the Milky Way would appear and a near symmetrical band of light stretching across almost the entire night sky, but in places the dust clears and the dazzling view of stars can be seen unobstructed. To find it look slightly south and overhead for the Northern Cross. Like the Big Dipper, its a shape which is easy to spot. The Cloud covers a large expanse in the lower half slightly toward the center. What will you see? With well adapted eyes and a dark sky it will looklike a, well, cloud, but this cloud is made up of tens to hundreds of thousands of stars. Binoculars offer the best viewing with the best combination of resolution and a wider field of view. Feel very fortu-nate. All of antiquity knew of this cloud, but it is only comparatively recently that we could view into the sea of stars that comprise it. So yes, there are some clouds overhead that are a very welcomed sight.

TWO-EDGED SWORD

I had health insurance once. Which means I actually had a real job, benefits, community respect, all that good stuff. The 4th of July I bounced my double-bladed axe off a sapling into my ankle, I got the opportunity to experience first hand what our fabled health care sys-tem had to offer. One look at the angry gash in my exposed ligament convinced me to pony up the pick-up and drive the 35 miles to the nearest emergency room in the next county. My doctor fixed me up good and proper, sewed the ligament , stitched the ankle, bandaged the whole throbbing mess back togeth-er and said to come back in a week to remove the stitches and de-termine if gangrene had set in. He gave me a shot of antibiotics and one for tetanus, shook my hand and said good luck. I asked him if the throbbing was going to go away and with a sad knowing look at my long hair and beard, he determined right off the get-go he had a drug addict junkie in a desperate search for pain pills, willing, I guess, to hack himself to pieces with an axe if necessary. “Stop on your way home,” he said, “and buy yourself a six pack of something strong, smoke a doobie with it, you’ll do fine.” I didn’t sleep a wink that night even with the prescription, not with a pain like rabid beavers gnawing on my ankle. A week later the pain was almost manageable. Medical schools, I deduced, must be grad-uating doctors before they get to Anaesthesiology 101. Probably to save the health care system a few dollars. My bill arrived about an hour before I could drive home from the ER… with a note that my insurance company had refused to cover anything. My accident, it seems, had occurred in the same county I re-sided in and they had a clause, subsection 51 paragraph z that denied coverage for in-county accidents. You had to get hurt somewhere else to make a claim. I bet you had to die in a different bed than the one you usually slept in too. Or have a car accident in a stranger’s vehicle, but not a Toyota or a Chevrolet, and nothing late model. Otherwise, well, no coverage. See the appendix. I healed up after 3 months of really painful hobbling and hopping. First chance I got I made a big bonfire and burned that double-blad-ed axe. Then I quit my job with the only health insurance I ever had. And since then I have tried my damndest to avoid the so-called finest health care system in the entire civilized world. Although sometimes I still follow my attending physician’s sage advice. Thanks Doc! Thanks for saving me a life of drug addiction.

OLD FASHIONED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKEFresh strawberries spooned over baked biscuits topped with home-made whipped cream! The perfect dessert for your 4th of July cele-bration!

STRAWBERRIES: 1 quart (4 cups) strawberries ; 1/3 c. granulated sugar WHIPPED CREAM: 1 1/2 c. whipping cream ; 2-3 T. granulated sugar, if desiredBISCUITS: 2 c. all-purpose flour; 1 T. baking powder; 1/2 tsp. salt; 3 T. granulated sugar ; 1/2 c. butter, chilled; 2/3 to 3/4 c. half and half, milk or cream

DIRECTIONS: 1. STRAWBERRIES: Rinse the berries under cold water; drain well. Hull and slice the berries; place in a bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar; cover and let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour. 2. WHIPPED CREAM: In a large bowl, beat the cream (with 2 or 3 ta-blespoons of sugar, if desired) until it holds a soft peak. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Set rack at center level. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside. 4. BISCUITS: In a food processor (or you can use a pastry cutter) combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and pulse to mix. Cut butter into about 8 pieces and add to the mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and make a well in the center. With a fork, stir in the cream or milk, just until dough is moist. Be very careful not to overwork. The dough doesn’t have to hold together well at this point. Let the dough stand for a minute. 5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over on itself (knead) 2 or 3 times, until it is holding together and is less sticky. Gently pat the dough into a 6 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick and cut into 8 (3-inch) biscuits with a floured round cutter. Transfer to a prepared cookie sheet. Brush on a little milk or cream and sprinkle tops with some sugar, if desired. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until risen and golden brown. 6. Remove to a platter and split each biscuit horizontally with a serrated knife. Butter the hot biscuits, if desired then top with about 1/3 cup of berry mixture. Replace the tops and top with a tablespoon or so of berries. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Serves 8. Cook’s note: Cook’s Note: Chill the bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping the cream.

THE SECRET RULES OF CHESS When my girls were seven and eight years old, respectively, I taught them the ancient game of chess (something for which they have never forgiven me). Eventually, their games improved to the point that, over their vehement protests, I enrolled them in a chess tournament at a local elementary school. The event went on forever, beginning at 8am on a Saturday and ending sometime after I lost consciousness from ennui. Every child played five rounds that day. After one match was over – which in my kids’ cases was usually about nine minutes – con-testants were sent back to the cafeteria. In these long breaks, parents ensured their prodigies devoted every minute to sharpening their skills, practicing feverishly until the next round arrived. I was so bored that after a couple hours, I broke down and challenged some of these youngsters to a game. I don’t want to brag, but there was this one third grader, Jason Kim, who needed 21 moves before he checkmated me. That was my best performance. Most games were over shortly after I located my horse. These prepubescent grandmasters were extremely sharp. After a string of five quick defeats, I knew it was time to shake things up a bit. I decided to give these miniature Bobby Fischers a lesson by em-ploying my own Secret Rules of Chess. My next opponent was a nine-year-old named Raza. After a conservative opening, Raza, boldly ad-vanced his bishop into an attack position against my exposed queen. I contemplated my options, and then, in a maneuver I’m fairly certain Raza did not see coming, I nudged my queen backwards off the board and brought her back onto Raza’s end of the board, putting his king in check. Raza jumped up and exclaimed, “You can’t do that!”, to which I calmly replied, “Apparently you’re not familiar with the chess move called the Queen’s Revolt.” He was, of course, more than a little con-fused, in part because the Queen’s Revolt doesn’t exist. That’s when I began to weave a tale of how this tactic was first used by the Duke of Hapsburg against the Viscount of Mordovia in 1542. In game after game, I continued to keep my young foes completely off balance with one surprising technique after another: The Bad Bishop’s Deceit: My bishop gets to progress diagonally in two directions on the same turn – and can leap over pawns. The Peasant’s Uprising: This can only be done one time per game – and only by the black chess pieces (because I was playing black). I can select one pawn to become a queen for four consecutive moves. The Knight’s Alphabet: Here, my knight can do the usual L-shaped trot, followed by a W-shape, then a Z. Storming the Castle: One of my favorites. I jettison both of my rooks in unison the length of the board thereby taking out both of my ad-versary’s rooks and any other playing piece in their path. This is a par-ticularly powerful stratagem but one which should only be attempted if your opponent is very young and incredibly gullible. My opponents had no clue how to defeat me. I even trounced the sev-en-year-old Kevin Wong, when just before he was about to checkmate me, I resorted to King Arthur’s Evasion: I simply advanced my king the entire length of the board, jumping over several of Kevin’s pieces, and took out his rook. Kevin protested until I patiently explained that this stratagem was first used by King Henry VIII to defeat Napoleon when they met for the World Chess championship in Reykjavik, at the height of the Irish Potato Famine. Several parents, who if you ask me, were wired way too tightly, filed a petition to have me permanently banned from any future chess tournaments. I guess some people just have no appreciation for the finer nuances of this ancient game.

The sale of the former Wisconsin Timber Co. in March, 1923 became a bargain-hunting frenzy. After the sale came disputes over the sale prices. Before the judge had confirmed the dale, two higher bids were tendered. After more dickering, a second receiver’s sale was held. This time the plant alone, went to Herbert Clough and Associates of Everett for $60,000. The tim-ber brought $25,000 from A. E. Carroll of Anacortes and other parcels brought higher prices. The new owners changed the name to Clough Lumber Co. and an-nounced that operations would begin at once under the management of Clough and George C. Clark. W.H. Langdon was to be in charge of the office; all three men were associated with the Clark-Nickerson mill in Everett. Repairs and replacement of the burner stack, which had gone down in a big wind, delayed the opening until June 7, when Stanwood had its day of rejoicing. The mill went through several upheavals before it burned, under the name of the Stanwood Lumber Co. The burner stack still stands, with the name of Hamilton Lumber written on its side. River dredging, which had been pressed earlier in the year to no avail, was the next big issue in Stanwood 1923. The silted channel of the Stillaguamish was playing havoc with water freight and causing Clough scows to get hung up on sand bars. Of the mill’s 35,000,000-foot output per year, at least 25,000,000 feet were shipped by water; more lumber was being shipped from the oth-er mills. Condensed milk, general merchandise, vegetables, livestock, flour, feed and grain shipments also went by water because of lower transportation costs. Dredging pressures mounted and, by Septem-ber, a government dredger was scooping out the channel from the Clough establishment to the mouth of the river Fall also brought completion of Stanwood’s new fire system and wa-ter was turned on in the new mains for the first time. Two auxiliary stations were set up to house hose carts, electric sirens were installed atop the water tank and organization of a new volunteer fire depart-ment was in the offing. East Stanwood also arranged fire protection via contract with the Carnation Company to connect its pumps to the fire mains. Two mills, the Sjolander on Camano Island and the Cornell Shingle Mill at Cedarhome, were destroyed by fire that fall. A brisk market in lumber brought about sales of the M & H Mill at Florence and Cedarhome Lumber Co. The Hawley Shingle Co. and the Victoria Mill reopened to take advantage of the improved lumber and shingle prices. The Hartney Style Shop opened in its new tile and brick building on 271st N.W. (Market Street) and five tailors went to work in the tailor shop. Cars choked the highways over Labor Day in 1923 and nearly 1,000 cars passed through Stanwood between 6:30 and 8:30 that night. Two planes also came to stunt over Lien field and take passengers on short flights. At Camano City, an auto park overlooking Saratoga Passage was planned and a dock was being built under the sponsorship of the Camano Cooperative Dock. Co., whose shares sold at $10 each. An ill wind in December wrecked half of their efforts when a gale and high seas drove the Steamer Atlanta against the dock during her run from Oak Harbor to Seattle. Women and children aboard were saved and the evening mail on the dock was rescued by the steamer’s crew. The same gale blew in windows and downed power lines in town, cinders from the Clough burner screen started fires on the roof of the Stanwood Hospital; another fire broke out in the Sam Bates residence.
