Get a taste of Latin flavor

Sailors and Marines invite the community to join a celebration of Hispanic heritage

By K ATHY REED

The Coffee Band, shown here performing in the Seattle area, will play Saturday evening starting at 7 p.m. at Mi Pueblo in downtown Oak Harbor. The nine-piece band’s performance is made possible by the Oak Harbor Hispanic Heritage Committee, a group of sailors and Marines from NAS Whidbey interested in sharing the Latino culture with the community.

Get involved: The Oak Harbor Hispanic Heritage Committee currently meets on base each Wednesday at 11 a.m. Membership is open to anyone in the community who wishes to join. Those with questions should email O3HC@ymail.com.

A new group wants to give Oak Harbor residents a chance to experience some Latin flavor — in more ways than one.

The Oak Harbor Hispanic Heritage Committee is a newly formed organization of active duty and reserve sailors and Marines at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The group formed approximately two months ago and is 29 members strong so far.

“Within the Fleet Readiness Center there are lots of different clubs and there is a MultiCultural Association, but we had different ideas,” said Logistics Specialist First Class Pamela Velez. “We wanted to open it up to anybody who wants to be a part of it.”

“We wanted this to be an opportunity to show our culture to the community,” agreed Personnel Specialist Second Class Silvia Soukchareun.

Members immediately went to work raising money by holding a car wash and a yard sale for the group’s first event — sponsoring a Latino band to perform in Oak Harbor in celebration of national Hispanic Heritage Month.

The winning group is The Coffee Band, a nine-piece band from Seattle, who will perform from 7 p.m. to midnight at Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant and Lounge on Bayshore Drive. There is no cover charge to attend this 21-and-older event, and the community can enjoy a taste of Latin music and Latin food, if they choose.

Welcome!

Since 2004, I’ve been a “money-saving mentor,” traveling near and far to mentor families on topics of saving money, life-organization, consumer-education, and frugality. I am also the proud wife of a retired Navy Chief.

As a neighbor and community volunteer, I’ve met many military families. I’ve learned about challenges spouses at home face in balancing home and family tasks alone. For their service, benefits earned by veterans provide unique and valuable opportunities — more so when efficiently utilized.

There are many resources and ideas which can make life easier and more rewarding. I’m here to help both happen for you.

Dollars and Sense is my practical tribute, one I hope will educate and encourage you to “live a fuller life, at half the price.” We’re all at different stages – but remember, life is not a dress rehearsal. Living a “fuller life, at half the price” means that by using our resources wisely, we’ll experience more of what is good in life and less of what is negative.

I’ll work to bring you a wide variety of information, all meant to help you live a more affordable, enjoyable life. Your ideas and questions are always welcome. You can contact me via ahannold@comcast.net. Let’s get started.

Veterans’ Day Appreciation Discounts: Veteran’s Day is Friday, Nov. 11. Many chain restaurants traditionally offer free items or meals to active duty military and veterans. Keep an eye out for these!

Year-Round Military Discounts: Show your ID, save some cash. National and local businesses show their appreciation for our military all year long with discounts. Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s traveling, taking in a local attraction or dining – ask if there is an available military discount. For an extensive list, visit MilitaryTimes.com. Look for Military Discounts on their Marketplace page. Some offers may vary or not be available locally. Check with the local franchise for details.

Want to know about more local military discounts?

The Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce has a card for you, listing some of the available military discounts. You can get your card by stopping by their office.

Plan For a Happier, Less-Expensive Holiday: While I may not agree with retailers setting out the Christmas gear before Halloween, I do see one positive aspect to their advance marketing. Our planning and preparing can start now. When you see Christmas, ask yourself what you want to improve upon from the holiday you experienced last year. Where did the overspending, family discontent or the Scrooge in you come in? An organized Christmas, intentionally and thoughtfully created — beginning now — is something to look forward to.

Here’s a free and versatile resource which will help you through your holiday season. OrganizedChristmas. com has printable checklists and planners as well as creative and affordable gift ideas. Follow their grand plan through your holiday tasks, room by room and gift by gift. Christmas planner pages begin with a reflection on last year and end with journal pages to remember your holiday. I love their holiday budget form, which asks you to include all the expenses of the holiday, even the “little” ones that increase over the holiday season. You can create an entire notebook with these planning pages.

Keep them for next year and have something to share with your children.

Planning makes for lower costs and greater joy. You don’t have to plan it all, but do take a look at what’s coming and take some steps to prepare now. Your wallet and heart will thank you.

In addition to being a money-saving mentor and coordinator of the North Whidbey Coupon Club, Amy Hannold is the proud wife of a retired Navy Chief and a busy mom. Her columns appear the second Friday of each month. Send your questions on saving money, getting organized or living more frugally to Hannold via email at ahannold@comcast.net.

Various gently used and new items, like a decorated gasoline can, left, and a wooden cat figurine, center, will be used to fill baskets like those, right, for the VFW Ladies Auxiliary auction on Nov. 5. KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

A tisket, a tasket... it’s time to bid on a basket

By K ATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind

T

he VFW Ladies Auxiliary in Oak Harbor has a great idea for having fun, getting a head start on your holiday shopping and saving money, all at the same time.

The Auxiliary will hold its annual fundraising auction, “We serve, because they have served,” Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post on Goldie Road. There will be approximately 200 gift baskets up for bid in a silent auction, which starts at 5:30 p.m. A live auction of other items will follow at 7:30 p.m.

“Come and do your Christmas shopping. There are amazing bargains,” said Joanne McDaniel, VFW Ladies Auxiliary president.

“We had some of the best quality items at ridiculously low prices last year.”

The auxiliary begins accepting donations of new and gently used items for the auction in July.

Donations can range from small household items and furniture to gift certificates for goods and services from local businesses. Smaller items are used to make up the gift baskets, which usually have some sort of theme.

“We get lots of good bids on the Spam basket,” McDaniel said. “We put one together every year.”

And because the auxiliary relies on donations, items can vary wildly from year to year. Some of the items collected so far this year include certificates for rounds of golf, a girls’ night out at a spa, and certificates from a local dentist and chiropractor.

“This year for the live

Still time to donate: Donations made to the VFW Ladies Auxiliary auction by Oct. 20 will be featured in the auction catalog. Anyone interested in donating new or gently used items or services can drop them off at the VFW Post Hall on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. If assistance is needed for larger items, contact the post at 675-4048. Donations are tax deductible. auction we have two truckloads of top soil,” said McDaniel. “Last year we had an engine. But we always have lots of gift certificates, so it’s really interesting and exciting.”

The auction is open to the public over age 21. To bid, those attending purchase a paddle for $8 each or $15 per couple. Doors open at 5 p.m. Silent auction items are up for bid from 5:30 to 7 p.m., during which time people can dine on hors d’oeuvres and sip soda, beer or wine.

All proceeds from the event are used to fund programs of the Ladies Auxiliary, which include: “Adopt a Unit” care packages for active duty troops; comfort items for veterans’ hospitals; “Project Protect,” which supplies emergency preparedness kits to enlisted troops and their families; “Sunshine Visits” to area nursing homes; and the annual senior citizen Christmas luncheon.

“We just try to meet the needs of veterans and our community,” McDaniel said. “We work with the (Veterans of Foreign Wars)

KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND Post as often as possible, such as for their Military Assistance Program ... and we share the expenses with the Post in paying the prizes for the youth essay contest.”

Even in these tough economic times, McDaniel said the auxiliary has been able to collect a good amount of items for the auction, which is the group’s main fundraiser of the year. The auction raised more than $7,500 last year and members hope to exceed that amount this year.

“We have very faithful supporters, but some have had to cut back,” she said.

“But I’m impressed with the way they hang in there and show support. I do believe we’ll do okay.”

“We have several businesses who are faithful every year,” added auxiliary member Achsah Haun.

In addition to raising money, the auction also serves as a membership drive, to encourage people to get involved with the VFW Post or with the Auxiliary.

“They think we’re party animals,” laughed McDaniel. “But we’d really

like them to come and join us for the auction and check us out.”

In order to become a member of the Ladies Auxiliary, a woman needs to have a spouse, sibling, parent or grandparent that served in a foreign war. The group meets once a month at the VFW Post and performs service-related duties all year long, like the Great Oak Harbor Giveaway Day, distributing Buddy Poppies on Veterans Day, the annual Easter Egg Hunt and regular support of the Seattle branch of the USO. Another reason to come to the event is that it’s just plain fun, said auxiliary members.

“The bidding can get heated,” McDaniel said.

“But everybody is in good spirits because they know it’s for a good cause.”

“I always bid against myself,” laughed lifetime auxiliary member Carol Scott. “I lose track.”

“I can’t get over what people are able to buy things for. It’s really reasonable,” said McDaniel. “And it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys.”

DAV meeting highlights resources

By MELANIE HAMMONS

As its name implies, Disabled American Veterans has always been an advocate for quality medical care for America’s disabled warriors. Members of the local DAV chapter want veterans to know they are here to help on a practical level as well.

One way they seek to do that is by loaning out durable medical equipment, said chapter adjutant Michelle McClain, at the group’s meeting last Thursday.

“We have a wide variety of items available,” said McClain. “They include walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, and some bedside medical equipment.

“We want to encourage any veteran, with any length of service, to contact us if they need these items,” she said.

The DAV also provides rides for appointments to VA medical facilities in Seattle. According to chapter commander John Callahan, 73 passengers traveled to Seattle VA in the past month.

“We want to thank and commend our volunteer drivers, and encourage anyone who would like to help in this way, to give us a call,” said Callahan. Van rides must be scheduled through the DAV office.

The DAV winter conference is set from October 20 to 23, and two local members plan to attend.

As for fundraising, one of the most important days of the year for DAV is fast approaching, said Callahan.

“Our Forget-Me-Not fund drive is scheduled for Veteran’s Day, which this year falls on the second Friday of November,” he said. The small, blue flowers, that are distributed by donation, have formed the basis of DAV chapter-level fundraising for more than 80 years.

Members will staff tables set up in front of Walmart, Saar’s Marketplace, Ace Hardware, NAS Whidbey Island’s Navy Exchange and the Commissary.

The DAV seeks to stay updated on the technological front as well. The group approved plans help pay for and mount a booster antenna on Building 13 on the Seaplane Base, which will help enhance WiFi capability in the office.

Anyone who would like to help carry on the work done

by DAV may contact them at 257-4801.

If you’ve seen members of Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services wearing pink shirts this week, your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you.

A total of 135 people in 11 stations within the region have been wearing pink T-shirts this week in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to raise money for Susan G. Komen For the Cure.

Station managers have been wearing pink ties.

“It’s not normal to see four firemen get out of a truck wearing pink shirts,” said firefighter Chris Hiteshew. “By now most people know what it means, though, and it usually prompts a brief discussion.”

The shirts feature a department logo with the familiar pink ribbon on the front, with the words “Brave enough to wear pink.” The back of the shirt reads “Working together to find a cure,” and features the word “fire” in blue, with the pink ribbon as the letter “i.”

Hiteshew said the departments have a contest to see who can outdo the others in their support of breast cancer research, saying some departments even wrap their fire trucks in pink to make them look as though they’ve been painted

Share your tales of bumps in the night

H

ave you heard people’s voices and not been able to find where they’re coming from? Was the shadow that flitted through your field of vision too well-formed to be just a shadow? Have things mysteriously moved from one place to another while no one else has been around?

This time of year especially, one hears talk of things that go “bump in the night,” and I thought it would be great fun to gather some tales of the unexplained to share with our readers.

After going through the offiKATHY cial channels, we’ve come up REED with nothing tangible, so I’ll put my request out to you — if you are active duty, retired or reserve military, and you’ve had an unexplained experience while on duty or at a duty station and you’d be willing to share your story, I’d love to talk with you in the next few days.

The point is not to try to solve a mystery or dig up dirt, but to share a story or two (or more) that might raise a few goosebumps or at the very least, prompt a few chuckles.

Please feel free to give me a call at 675-6611 or fire off an email to me at kreed@whidbeycross wind.com and spend a few moments bending my ear. I look forward to hearing from you.

In other business, I’m happy to welcome our newest contributor to the Whidbey Crosswind, Whidbey’s own frugalista, Amy Hannold. Her new column, Dollars and Sense, will appear the second Friday of each month, and will include ideas on smarter spending, how to save money and how to live better and spend less.

You can send inquiries to Hannold by emailing her at ahannold@comcast.net.

If you’re interested in joining our growing list of contributors, contact me by phone or email.

Mom of boys welcomes new boy mom

A

friend recently had her first baby, a boy.

As you know, I have three boys. I also grew up with two older brothers. So my friend had some questions, and I did my best to answer.

Turns out I know more about boys than I thought. (To be fair, the following is also likely true of girls, but I wouldn’t know anything about that.)

Boys and Activity My youngest, in particular, is like a border collie: if you don’t run him enough during the day, he will dig up shrubs and chew holes through the back deck. I mean, wait: He will tie his Big Wheel to his scooter and drive the makeshift “train” while wearing a Star Wars mask that completely covers his eyes.

But that’s why we have ten different, kid-sized football helmets, all in various states of decay (based on how long they were buried under last year’s snow or how many nights they’ve been left out in the rain), hidden in our garage.

Soon, the boys are ramming each other with their helmets.

SMILEY | FROM PAGE 4 pair of deer wrestling with their antlers. Indeed, the older-brother “headlock/noogie” rite of passage probably evolved out of necessity, due to human’s lack of natural weapons on their heads.

Boys and Emotions Boys have emotions, but their feelings usually (again, I’m generalizing) have little in common with the female variety. Or, at least, they express them in different ways and at unexpected times.

Someone* once suggested that my boys, who were mad at a friend, write a letter explaining how they “really feel.”

I overheard this while I was washing dishes in the kitchen.

The boys ran through the back door, mud flying off their shoes, and raced to the drawer where we keep pen and paper. I pretended not to notice as they sat down to the table, red dirt from a baseball field lining their palms and caked to their knees, and dragged the pen angrily across the paper. The wood table creaked and shook as they wrote.

When the boys started out the door, letters in hand, I intercepted. One by one, I plucked the tightly folded papers from their fists, and stuffed them in my back

pocket.

I had a pretty good idea how my boys “really feel.”

When my older brothers were mad at me, they didn’t say things like “It hurts my feelings when you _____” or “Sometimes I feel sad because you ______.” No, they told me that my real parents were monkeys and that our mom and dad had stolen me from a circus. * Someone with more sensitivity Boys and Their Mothers When I had my first boy eleven years ago, someone said, “No one will ever love you as much as that little boy will when he is 4-years-old.”

It’s true. Little boys love their moms.

They might not always show it — especially after they turn 6 (they go into kindergarten as babies and come out “boys”) — but for a little boy, Mom represents everything he is not. Mainly, civil.

A mom “makes” her boy cuddle on the couch while they watch SpongeBob, and although he rolls his eyes, the boy wouldn’t have it any other way.

A mom makes the Princess Leia action figure hug her action-figure dad (Vader), and the boy is reminded that toys can be something besides an object to throw at your brother.

Dave Johnson, Pastor

A mom translates “He punched my stomach and threw my football behind the shed” into its rightful meaning: I think I need a hug.

For my friend, I packed a gift bag full of things meant to introduce her to this new world of boys. Dustin watched as I wrapped a Star Wars action figure in tissue paper, folded a shirt with Superman on the front, and placed both items in the bag.

But when I put a package of press-on mustaches in there, too, Dustin said, “Why are you giving her things she won’t need for another four years? You expect her to keep up with all that stuff until then?”

I ignored him.

Two days later, six hours after her son was born, my friend sent me a digital picture. There was her perfectly pink, wrinkly, adorable newborn — with a handlebar mustache beneath his nose.

I showed the picture to Dustin.

I may be a girl, but I know boys. And I especially know moms with boys.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

(Left) A simple chalkboard announcement in the lobby of Mi Pueblo lets people know about Latino Night, which is being sponsored by the Oak Harbor Hispanic Heritage Committee, a new group formed recently at NAS Whidbey Island.

BAND | FROM PAGE1 A lack of Latino bands on the island prompted the group to start looking for a band they could bring to town.

“I go out of town about once a month to go Salsa dancing,” said Logistics Specialist Second Class Kim Yaska. “I’d like to be able to do that here in Oak Harbor.”

Members of the band look at it as an opportunity to share their music with a new audience.

“We’re hoping people like us, that they have fun and they remember us,” said singer Salvador Benavides.

“The goal is to make this a community event, to bring anybody who wants to come out and enjoy it,” said Logistics Specialist Second Class Eric Painter.

“The relationship (with each other) before was just work,” said Soukchareun.

“Now we have something to talk about.”

Even within the Hispanic community, there can be differences. The new group is about learning about each other in addition to sharing Latino culture with the community.

“We each have different dialects, we like different foods,” Velez said. “But now we’re able to reach out and discover we might have similar stories. For most of us, our families are far away, so this brings us together.”

Group members give special credit to their mentor, Chief Nivardo Mendoza, who gave them

Hidden benefits Besides having a common goal to work for by raising money for Saturday’s event, members of O3HC, as they call it, say there’s been an added benefit to forming their group.

“When you have people around you that you can relate to, it makes your experience better,” Velez said. “It gives you that extra something.”

“I like how we came together,” said Aviation Machinist’s Mate Third Class Cristobal Rodriguez.

“Once we came together it was like friends.”

ideas on how to proceed once they decided to start O3HC. Members say even if only their group turns out Saturday night, the event will be a success.

Never the less, members will decorate the restaurant with flags from all Spanishspeaking countries, and there will be a cake to help celebrate their first organized event. If all goes well, O3HC hopes to hold future

events on a quarterly basis.

Most of all, club members want to thank the Oak Harbor area community for its support.

“Whether they’re military or not, I think Oak Harbor will be very supportive,” said Velez.

“We’d like to thank the community,” agreed Painter. “All the funds come from the community — so they’re all invited.”
