Martin Luther King Jr Day
Martin
Luther
King Jr.
His honeymoon
was spent at a
funeral parlor…
not because
someone died,
simply because
a friend owned
the parlor and
offered to let him
use it.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social
activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement
from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma Gandhi, King sought equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force
behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and
the March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark
legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of
1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday
since 1986.

King convinced

Trek, Nichelle
Nichols (who
incidentally later
went on to work
for NASA), to
continue on with
the role after
the first season.
Nichols stated he
told her not to
leave the show
because she was
not only playing
a black person as
a main character
on TV, but she
was also playing
a character that
didn’t conform to
the stereotypical
black person of
the day.

its efforts to protect and rescue
wild animals.

www.sarveywildlife.org
This eagle came in late yesterday. We are still trying to determine
why it was down on the ground. X-rays did not show any significant
injuries - some fluids, medications, and time. Since these patients
don’t have the ability to tell us what is wrong or what happened to
them - it is sometimes a waiting game to determine their issue/s.
We are often asked if we will accept donations of old fur coats. We
do not use them and yet frequently there are posts telling people to
donate furs to wildlife rehab facilities. Today one of the articles in the
NWRA (National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association) discussed this
very issue in an article called: Use of Old Furs with Wildlife
“NWRA reminds rehabilitators that use of old fur coats in wildlife
rehabilitation is controversial. When deciding whether to use old
furs, consider the following. If the furs were commercially cleaned
shortly before donation, they may contain chemicals and/or odors.
Furs cannot be disinfected and should be thrown out after use with
each animal or litter. Alternatively, wild babies readily accept stuffed
toy animals and fleece pouches that usually can be washed and disinfected for use again.”
For these reasons, we do not accept or use donations of old furs.
These coats would have to be single use items, if we were to consider
using them, which seems wasteful. We generally tell people to check
with their local community theatre organizations or operas to see if
they are in need of these items.

Cope this Winter by Making Soap!
Written by The Plucky Gardener
Let’s make soap! Here’s my tips and tricks for the best soap on Earth.
by “The Plucky
Gardener”
“I cover all
topics that fall
into that broad
category, from
birding, to
mulch techniques, from
natural parenting, to sustainability...”
Gather tools, all should be used for soap making only. Large non aluminum mixing bowl (aluminum reacts with lye solution), mixing spoon,
gloves, safety glasses, vinegar (to neutralize lye covered supplies or
skin), soap molds (parchment paper lined casserole dish works), lye,
your oils of choice since soap can be made from animal fats or plant oils.
I prefer organic plant based oils. It is important to measure by weight,
not volume. A food scale is a necessary tool. A candy thermometer and
an emersion blender are highly recommended but not necessary.
Once supplies are in order, begin measuring by weight your chosen
oils. I always use organic because your skin absorbs everything and
many store bought soaps have carcinogenic additives and fillers. A
huge benefit to creating your own soap is knowing exactly what goes
into it. My oils of choice are coconut because it creates a stable rich
lather and is naturally anti-bacterial/anti-fungal. One oil is fine but I
prefer two and olive oil reigns supreme because it is gentle, deeply
moisturizing, and treats many skin ailments like excema, dermatitis,
and acne.
Combine oils. Next, measure by weight per recipe the lye and then the
water. ALWAYS add the lye to the water NEVER water to lye, which can
cause splashing and burn your skin. “Snow falls on the lake” is what I
say to myself to remember this. I do this outside wearing gloves and
goggles because of the fumes. Stir until lye dissolves. This mixture will
get hot, let it cool to 110-100*f and then combine with oils. Carefully
blend with blender (this mixture is still caustic and will be for the next
24hrs) until you reach trace, usually 5 minutes. Trace can be described
as a runny yogurt. Right before poured into molds, you can add extras
like essential oils or herbs for scent, increased medicinal benefit, and
exfoliation.
Cover with a towel to slow the cooling process and remove from molds
after 48 hours, cut into bars and then let cure for another 4 to 6wks on
a drying rack so air reaches all sides and viola, you have homemade
soap! This is a liberating activity and if any readers out there are interested in soap making classes, I would love to teach one to the community. Email me at [email protected] and happy soaping!

is celebrated on
January 18, 2016.
The date goes
back to the form
of the Snowman:
“8” symbolizes
the snowman
and the “1”
stands for his
stick or broom.
Moreover, January is usually cold
enough to build
snowmen and
is therefore a
perfect chance
to celebrate the
snowman. World

Great Wines - Great Values
If you have
any questions
about wine or
would like a
specific subject
covered, please
email me at
deepredcellar@
gmail.com
Julie Overstreet,
CSW
You spent too much during the holidays and want to cut back. I’m
certainly not going to advise to cut out wine. Instead, here are some
shopping tips that’ll keep you financially responsible.
When shopping, look for obscure geographic locations or grapes.
Ask the wine steward for assistance. I promise, he/she will delight in
showing you something you’ve never tried before.
Wines from Chile and Argentina are often great values and great
tasting. Argentina is home to excellent Malbec, an inky colored wine
with notes of blackberry and plum. If you prefer white wine, look for
Torrontes, a lovely, light, floral wine. Chile produces delightful Cabernet Sauvignon but also look for Carmenere that has flavors of mocha,
black cherry, sweet herbs and spice.
Spanish wines can be inexpensive and excellent. Look for reasonable Riojas, a Tempranillo predominant wine from one or more of the
three sub regions in Rioja. Excellent reds also come from the Ribera
del Duero region. Try Albarino, a dry, fragrant white from Rias Baixas.
They may be harder to find, but neighboring Portugal has quite affordable and highly quaffable wines.
I love Italian wines (you may have noticed). Barbera, Corvina, and
Sangiovese can be wonderful affordable reds. Keep in mind, Sangiovese has many names so look for it under disguises such as Morellino
di Scansano. For whites, try Soave and Vermentino.
Most countries have bargains. Look for values from France (esp.
Languedoc–Roussillon region), South Africa, Greece, etc.
Get Started:
Santa Julia Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza, Argentina - $9.99
Scaia Corvina, Veneto, Italy - $10.99
Marchesi del Salento, Salice Salentino DOC (Nero Amaro), Puglia,
Italy - $7.99
Ergo Rioja DOC (Tempranillo), Rioja, Spain - $10.99
Altovinum Evodia (old vine Garnarcha), Spain - $9.99
Tarima Monastrell DO (Mourvèdre), Alicante, Spain - $9.99

local artist
of the week
Darrington artist, Gordy Beil
“I’ve always thought that words about art stand on their heads. Oh
well. here goes:
As a child, I was constantly drawing and painting. One year my grandmother gave me a whole roll of white butcher paper! There was more
play value in that than many other more expensive toys.

My early artisic influences were people like Albrect Durer, Michelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci. The Dada artist like Jean Arp, Marcel
DuChamp and Sophie Taeuber (Arp) were also sources of inspiration.
The surrealist, especially Salvador Dali, have had a great impact on
my art. Still later influences were: Alexander Calder, M.C. Escher and
Maxfield Parrish.
I am, by nature, an experimentalist. Everything is an experiment. I
learn by doing. If I see a technique that interest me, I have to try it. I
work in a broad variety of media: monoprint, block printing, intaglio
engraving, painting in acrylic, found object constructions, black and
white photography and manipulated Polaroid photography.

“The Angel’s Tap House Brewery has some fresh beers being released this week. If you are out and about come check out the new
Stout! Its dark, malty and now kicked up with some hints of dark
roasted coffee.
Our Watershed Blond is getting kind of “Witty”. Brewed with coriander and orange peel,we are steering this brew into more of a Belgium Wit.
Last but not least, we hopped up our Fallen Angel IPA with some
Summit Hops. This batch of IPA has some bitterness and some cheek
biting hoppiness.
Come try these new flavors, and all the rest of our beer at Angel’s Tap
House Brewery, the 1st Tribal Owned (by the Stillaguamish Tribe)
Brewery in the state! Angel’s Tap House Brewery will be brewing
its own beer and baking artisan pizzas and smoked delicacies from
brisket and pulled pork to ribs.
Angel’s Tap House will have eight beers on tap, including Angel’s
Golden Pilsner, Angel’s Tap House Pale Ale, El Diablo Red, Watershed
Blonde, Bigfoot Nut Brown Ale, C Hawk Bock, Fallen Angel IPA and
Still Water Stout.

DIARIES at

The South End String Band didn’t start out planning to be a band
--- they were mostly a back porch drinking society with music as a
viable excuse to offer their wives for staying out til after midnight.
What most of them didn’t know was how grateful the mizzus was to
have a peaceful evening to herself. Well, at least until Shelly joined
the band.
For years the boys hauled out their guitars and banjos, pulled their
fiddles off the wall and strung up all those mandolin strings, met up
down at the South End Grange Hall where Tommy the fiddler was
Master. In the beginning they were all much more proficient on the
jug than on their own instruments, but as often happens with practice, they got better. And as they got more proficient, they drank a
little less and began to talk playing in public. When the South End
Historical Society asked them to perform for their annual salmon
bake fundraiser, they jumped on the opportunity. “Can’t pay you
anything,” Edith Wonkszeski told the boys, “but we’ll feed you. And
the beers are on us.” That sounded more than fair, Tommy told her
and warned her to stock up on those beers, you might lose money
on this band.
And so the newly named South End String Band went public. If
they liked drinking and strumming, they loved live performances for
an appreciative audience twice as much as both put together. Trouble was, they soon found out, none of the boys could sing outside a
shower worth a hoot or a holler. Billy on the banjo tried, but he sort
of talked his way through, not really sang. And then Shelly came up
to them after a gig at the Mabana Sunset Villa Nursing Home and
said, “You ought to give me a listen.”
Which they did. She came to the next practice wearing a low cut
cowgirl dress and even if she’d sung out of tune, the boys knew she’d
be their new vocalist. It didn’t hurt either she could outdrink every
manjack of them.
The South End String Band still performs, but after a couple of
divorces, the personnel have shifted frequently. Shelly fronts the
band now and she’s pretty much the last remaining original member. You can always find a banjo picker in the backwash here, but not
another Shelly. The Band practices at her cabin these days and when
the night winds down past midnight, Shelly shows the boys the door
and always says, “Jug’s empty, boys, time to face the music.” It would
be funnier if it wasn’t so godawful true.

Ice Skate Bookmarks
Martin
Luther
King Jr.
quote:
“If you can’t fly
then run, if you
can’t run then
walk, if you can’t
walk then crawl,
but whatever you
do keep moving
forward.”
These adorable ice skate bookmarks are an excellent winter or sports
craft that help children practise their sewing skills. They make lovely
little gifts, too, so why not make a batch?
You will need: Needle, Embroidery thread, Felt, Large paperclip
Instructions: 1. Fold your felt in half and cut out a boot shape slightly narrower than the paperclip and with the base of the boot along
the fold. 2. Slip one side of the boot through the paperclip. 3. Using
a neat running stitch, sew around the outside of the boot with one
strand of embroidery thread. Sew along the bottom at the top of
the paperclip so it stays in place. We’ve used the same colour thread
as our felt for the stitching. 4. To make the laces, cut a length of embroidery thread. Sew into the top of the boot, bring the needle back
to the same side to make the second stitch so the thread forms a
loop, and repeat down the boot and back up. You should end up
with a criss cross effect and the ends of the thread hanging from the
different sides of the boot. Tie the ends into a bow and trim. 5. Now
attach the ice skate to the page of your book!

The secret to maintaining your
New Year’s Resolutions…
… is never to make any, of course.
This is a new,
ongoing
feature page
for humor
columnist Tim
Jones from
Camano Island.
From Parenting
to Pop culture
to Pets, Tim
has something
profoundly
uninformed to
say about it.
It’s January 2016 – a new year and another chance to wipe the slate
clean and press the RESET button on all those failed commitments
from the previous year. Every year, I revisit my New Year’s Resolutions from the previous year to chronicle how many weeks it took
before I had completely bailed out on my very last resolution. Usually that date is approximately January 17th.
In looking back over my past New Year’s Resolutions, I’ve noticed an
unsettling trend. Over time, the goals that I set kept getting increasingly ambitious. Meanwhile my results have hit a bit of a plateau…
then slowly slipped off the edge of that plateau…. into the deep,
dark, cavernous ravine of best intentions gone miserably awry.
The following are a few of my typical New Year’s Resolutions from
previous years:
Fitness and health: Lose 40 pounds before our July vacation. Build
up to running ten miles. Use my Buns of Steel Ab Rocker machine,
wear my Miracle Trim Vibrator Belt two hours a day, along with my
Torso Tiger Sauna Suit I bought seven years ago but never wore
once.
Nutrition and eating habits: Cut out eating anything pleasurable.
Eat only steamed foods that are green and taste like dirt. Drink at
least twenty 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Install a urinal in my
car.
Finances: Pay off all my credit card debt and car loans. Finally pay off
my grad school loans from 1984. Accept once and for all that getting on a hot streak at the craps table at the Emerald Queen Casino
is not an effective strategy for coming up with the funds needed for
my kids’ college education.
38
[email protected]
View
from the
bleachers
Career: Create an action plan to finally obtain a respectable career
in which I can explain to my kids what I do for a living that does not
include the phrase, “I’m hoping to make a comeback.”
Personal Development: Take up a hobby. Learn a new musical instrument. How about the violin? Master Vivaldi’s Four Season’s Suite in
time to perform it for my family next Christmas.
In the case of last year, I failed miserably on all of my New Year’s
Resolutions. In fairness, I was able to I was able to make a small dent
in paying down some of my debt – by selling my Buns of Steel Ab
Rocker machine, the Vibrator Belt and the Sauna Suit at a garage sale
for roughly the price of a McDonald’s Happy Meal. And while I never
actually took up the violin, I made it through listening to almost half
of Vivaldi’s Four Season’s Suite before I got bored and switched over
to binge-watching House of Cards.
When it comes to sticking with my New Year’s Resolutions and avoiding temptation, I possess the self-discipline and restraint of a female
bonobo monkey in heat. So for this year, I have come up with slightly
more realistic goals. I’m feeling very good about my chances:
Fitness & Health: Put away the running shoes. Sell the rest of my exercise equipment – way too hard on my aching knees. Start preparing for the Olympic Decathlon, by which I mean Track & Field VII for
the X Box. Buy a La-Z-Boy recliner so I can play the game in comfort.
Nutrition: Who am I kidding with my goal of eating only healthy
foods? Never going to happen. Eat more fruits and nuts, by which I
mean strawberry cheesecake, peach cobbler and Butter Pecan ice
cream. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that pecans are high in fiber.

humor every
week at
Finances: With two kids still in college, it looks like I’ll have to put my
goal of reducing debt on the back burner a little longer. Encourage
my lower potential child to drop out of college. Extol the virtues of a
career as an Uber driver.
www.View
FromThe
Bleachers.net.
Career: Do whatever I can to hold onto my day job – even if that
means cutting back on Facebook at work to less than three hours a
day. Accept the reality that in all likelihood my dream of launching
my own retail chain of fish-flavored ice cream stores for cats may
never get off the ground.
Personal Development: Don’t give up just yet on my humor writing.
This year, for a change, try something completely different by injecting humor into my posts on occasion. Keep on writing, no matter
how many people urge me to “Stop writing! For the love of God, just
stop!!!!”
This year, my new year’s resolution is set the bar so low that I can
walk over it… in my sleep…. with a tub of Butter Pecan ice cream
under my arm. Wish me luck.

$5.30 of sadness
It’s so small
It makes me sad
I say it’s great
But it’s really bad
As I sign the check
I ask myself why
Why did I buy that slice of pie
They said it was cherry
They gave me cranberry
I guess it was okay
But I’m mad that they made me pay
I might have as well eaten the horse hay
At least then I’d be full
But now my life feels so dull
The size of a grain of rice
With such a mighty price
I wish I had gotten the sundae
At least that would suffice
And I would have had a fun day
Martin
Luther
King Jr.
On Nov. 2, 1983
President Ronald
Reagan signed
a bill to declare
Martin Luther
King Jr. Day in remembrance of all
the great things
he did to fight for
civil rights.
I regret my actions so much
The little strawberry on the side was my only crutch
Powdered sugar decorated the rim
They didn’t even try to fill the pie pan to the brim
And now my heart feels so empty
To cry is so tempting
At least I had good iced tea
But now as I spiral into depression
I ask myself why
Why did I buy that slice of pie
