Also, after a roundup of local sports, KWOK's Ian Cope joins in to recap Elma's big football win over Hoquiam, and Justin recapped Montesano's dominant win over Shelton.

Daniel was at a girls basketball game between Aberdeen and Hoquiam, and Justin saw a pair of Montesano boys basketball games. All games were recapped, including a fun story about a halftime show put on by a LaCenter JV player who drilled a bunch of logo shots, and a Toutle Lake hooper who is committed to play baseball at Oregon State. Also, a pair of Aberdeen Bobcats were named Oly Pen Real Estate Athletes of the Week.

This week, Chris sat down with the founders of 484 Hero, sister and brother team Cierra McCartney and Daniel Gardner. Chris and Jaimie have been friends with Cierra since 2005/2006 when Cierra and Jaimie worked together at the Everett (WA) YMCA. Cierra's husband, Daniel McCartney was finishing his enlistment in the US Navy and had dreams of becoming a police officer. Daniel realized his dream, serving as a police officer in Hoquiam, Washington, and Pierce County, Washington.  Daniel and Cierra had three sons, loved God, coffee, and CrossFit.  Then on January 8th, 2018, Daniel died in the line of duty, serving his community.  As part of their healing process, Cierra would take the boys to Daniel's gravesite.  Their tradition was to bring flowers and a white chocolate mocha, Daniel's weekend treat.  On the third anniversary of Daniel's End of Watch, Cierra wanted to change things up a bit.  She added money to a coffee card and told the baristas that all cops got free coffee, in memory of Dan.  Coffee with Dan began.  Now, through 484 Hero, Cierra and her family want to express their appreciation to police officers around the country, one cup of coffee at a time.

This week Daniel, Justin, and producer Andrew have an incredibly difficult decision to make about the Oly Pen Real Estate Athlete of the Week. They have to choose between a Hoquiam athlete, a Raymond athlete, and a Willapa Valley athlete. Listen to find out who they chose! Also, a little bit of Mariners talk, NBA playoff talk, a hilarious face-slapping in the MLB over fantasy football, and Stump Daniel with historical Seattle sports trivia.

This week we are joined by Drew Grannemann, Brewer at Hoquiam Brewing company, to answer all of our stupid questions about beer!

When I was 2-years-old the Hilliard family, in accordance with my life plan as dictated by me as soon as I was potty trained, moved west from Bellevue, Washington, to a small timber town twenty minutes from the coast.  While in Bellevue we lived in a neighborhood that is a chip shot from Microsoft campuses today. Maybe we should have stayed there but we migrated west to a small town called Aberdeen, Washington. Aberdeen, Washington, is at sea level. This meant, to you inlanders, that when it rained 40 days and 40 nights (which isn't at all that Biblical in Aberdeen), there's gonna be a    flood.  Flood the color of mud.  And we had street fountains.  During high tide the holes in the manhole cover plates had jets of water shooting up about a foot through the holes.  You just don't get that everywhere. The lower city was built on pilings, apparently before floods were invented.  The weather never affected football. At age four I was a manly man like the cowboys on TV. Not  the Dallas Cowboys, the Hollywood cowboys. Now back to the game, not quite in progress yet.   Sometimes I got to play with the big boys.  The Big Guys were 6 to 8-years-old!  Sometimes they would let me play in their game “Attack Khrushchev” (the Post Hitler Cold War version of good guys and bad guys) with them.  My buddy and one of the  big guys was Dan.  Dan's dad was head coach for the Aberdeen High School Football Team.  I always liked both of them.  I had no idea what adventures were in store with the dad, the head coach of Aberdeen High School football team when it came my time to play at that level.   The “Attack Khrushchev” Cold War Game (the home version) involved the good guys (us) and bad guys (this Khrushchev dude, whoever he was).  You had to be able to ride a bike to play…or run really fast for a long, long time to keep up with the big boys on their Pee Wee Herman bikes.  I didn't own a bike yet, so I ran with the guys as fast as I could.   One day the big guys decided to play a game called football.  I had heard of it.  It required an odd shaped ball you couldn't bounce because it didn't come back the same direction.  My parents had given me a toy slide projector shaped like Mickey Mouse's silhouette.  The show?  Touchdown for Mickey.  I was so excited about it.  Mickey, as you may have guessed, scores a last second touchdown!    But back to the gridiron, it's time to choose the teams.  The Big Guys lined up side by side and two of the biggest guys stepped forward as captains.  There was some argument with a third big guy about what was fair about who got to be a captain. That's probably still in negotiations.   The two captains chose their players.  As usual in life, the biggest guys were selected first, the best friends chosen second. And me?  Last.  This underdog thing turned out to be a blessing later in life.  It turns out I was usually the last kid picked for a team later in sports...unless there was a stopwatch or a tape measure to determine the winner.  I would have to learn to overcome my size deficiency and the inherent politics in sports, and in life.   This meant never being late for practice, never dogging a drill, and always trying my best to be out in front of other players in order to get any attention from a coach. This is life. I was lucky to have this demonstrated early on. The players were dressed in worn out jeans, Red Ball Jets, white T-Shirts and Dad's flannel work shirt. This later became the grunge look. It was a classic late fifties group of boys. The original Goonies. We had nicknames and never knew each other's real names sometimes. There was a pale skinny guy we called Wormy. We had Booger Munch (self explanatory), Smells Like Rotten Oranges, future NBA star String Bean Levine and the one... Support this podcast

Daniel, Justin, and producer Andrew sort of discuss the Seattle Seahawks upcoming matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Also, now that he's a hockey fan, Justin breaks down and analyzes the crap out of the Seattle Kraken's home opener. In local sports, our trio reports stats and scores from local high school sports, including a big win for Montesano football over Hoquiam. A few local athletes have moved on to play sports in college. We try to keep you updated on them, including former Aberdeen Bobcat Joel Dublanko, who currently leads the 2nd ranked Cincinnati Bearcats in tackles.

Daniel, Justin, and producer Andrew discuss an article written by Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger, former Aberdeen Bobcat Joel Dublanko thriving at the University of Cincinnati, and preview the Seattle Seahawks prime time game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Montesano, Elma, Aberdeen, and Hoquiam all suffered football losses on Friday and a freshman Elma soccer player is named Oly Pen Real Estate Athlete of the Week. Also, Daniel does a blind candy taste test. How many will he get right? In the mailbag, a conversation about journalistic integrity breaks out.

You can also shop 3 Green Sisters with a coupon code EWES2 for 15% off.  Marsha's Projects Marsha bought a fountain Pen: we found the Pilot Metropolitan at the UW bookstore. We also found J. Herbin ink  and we try to pronounce. Finished the socks that I had been working on for awhile. Used Garnstudio Drops Fabel. Atlas (Ravelry link) by Jared Flood using Navia Tradition. The pattern is also available at his website. Kelly and I had a long discussion about the sweater while poor Mark had to wear it and listen to us try and figure out what I need to do.  Still knitting on the tea cozy pattern, Nanny Meier's Tea Cozy by Amelia Carlsen. I am using Cascade 220 Heather in Red Wine Heather (9489) and green Irelande (2429). Garter Squish Blanket by Stephen West. Wanted to use “spirit yarn” to make a blanket for my brother that he had seen at Close Knit in Portland called Noromania Blanket. Turns out we remembered the blanket very differently and he was correct. So, that will be another blanket project. Decided to go ahead and dye the yarn for my second Garter Squish. Kelly helped by dye all the yarn. The main color is a gradient of a terra cotta. The contrasting yarns we dyed with short color repeats and long color repeats.  While Kelly was in meetings I drove into Aberdeen, Washington and visited Weird Sisters Wool Emporium owned by Megan Blackburn and Chelsea Barr who dye all the yarn. Megan used to own Little Fish Stitches. I made a pair of sock and the Walk Along tee with her yarm. Bought a skein of sock weight yarn for Kelly from the “Bob Ross: Happy Little Mistakes” bin. Their shop is a little hard to find on the second floor of a business office but do persevere or check out their website. Also visited Harbor Bead and Craft in Hoquiam, Washington. A nice craft store also a bit hard to find but worth the effort. Kelly's Projects Dark Green Forest by Christina Korber-Reith. I am using a terra cotta yarn that is a dark red overdyed over the light brown color of the CVM yarn. Working on the first sleeve but I'm almost done. Spinning wheel came with me on the trip and I've gotten a little spinning done on my Oxford singles. I think they will become a two ply.  Patreon Pattern Giveaway!

While most of the west coast is sizzling, things are cool & refreshing on the Washington Coast. Ocean Shores, Aberdeen & Hoquiam have always been popular vacation destinations. But these days, many families are choosing to make vacation destinations their full-time home. The Washington Coast is well positioned to be that home, or home-away-from-home for those looking to escape the big city. In this episode, Windermere's Jim Donahoe and Travis Jelovich share why so many people are choosing this spectacular, yet practical location.

Everybody has a love-hate relationship with their hometown. When I was growing up in the 50s, 60s and 70s in Aberdeen Washington the economy was strong. There were fish to catch in trees to harvest. I was a kid learning to play football and rock and roll, working in a Veterinary hospital with dogs and cats, painting houses and noisy mills and writing songs. I moved around for forty years after that and somehow landed 25 miles north of my birthplace Seattle. When I tell people where I'm from, I always say Aberdeen and they almost always look away and say “oh” as if to say “oh, I'm so sorry.” What they don't know about Aberdeen is that with its conjoined twin Hoquiam, at one time was a small thriving community. It has a history of being tough and making comebacks. It's part of a mostly scenic drive on the way to the coast....or the ocean as tourists refer to it. We always call it the beach. Coming into Aberdeen you cross a small bridge over the muddy Wishkah River, see the Star Wars store on the immediate left, some old vacant buildings and rundown shells of what used to be locally owned businesses. Every town, every city has its Ghost Town sections. Aberdeen's just happens to be on the main drag through town on the way to the main attraction, the beach.  When I look at Aberdeen from that short drive through town, my perception is different than most people I suspect. What I see is a corridor with tons of history. From a writer's standpoint, there are pages of mysteries to write about.  Not long ago I was driving down a similar main avenue in the greater Seattle area. Aurora Avenue. Cigarettes and litter, a bouncy hooker or two, and a home for homeless people walking in slow motion. A sense of sadness and entrepreneurship at the same time. I couldn't help but notice the strings of pawn shops. Pawn shops full of former gifts, treasures and cool things that during a time in someone's life were devalued from precious presents to mere commodities that could be pawned, hocked or sold never to be returned to their once proud owners. The items advertised on the signs and reader boards outside the pawn shops are usually for guns, jewelry and guitars. Guns and guitars are somewhat lacking emotional value, except maybe the guitars. I don't know if you can fall in love with a gun.  But to me the jewelry in particular is of interest. Jewelry has a story usually involving love and commitment. So as I was driving, I thought of these lyrics-- the story about a man who lost his wife to the angels and after years of being alone, he'd run out of hope and money. He takes her wedding ring off his finger where he kept it safe for all these years and as a last-ditch cry for help he sells it for enough money to pay for a lady of the night, a warm woman just to hold him and tell him everything's going to be alright. The final lyric of the song is: “I sold my baby's ring for a lady of the night, she whispered in my ear ‘it's gonna be alright'...somewhere there's a soul with a broken heart, down on Pawn Shop Boulevard.”   Medallion, ginger, alabaster, pearl and ivory white Xanadu and limousine leather and melody  Kaleidoscope Heart is a song I wrote this spring. The lyrics I just recited were stolen from a paint color fan, they're the colorful names of paint colors. I've always wondered who names them. And you're wondering why I rattle off a list of them in this song. Here's the story. Kaleidoscopes are about color. My friend and wardrobe advisor Freya selected my colorful clothes and her sister and also best bud ever, Annie took my promo shots. One of the photos was an experiment with some wackadoodle filter that Annie had that made an image of several Bruces, a pattern like a mosaic, in the shape of a heart. The following day after Annie photoshopped the shoot into a shippable product, I saw the kaleidoscope heart photo and thought it would work well for the... Support this podcast

Daniel, Justin, and producer Andrew discussed where the Seattle Mariners are in the process of their rebuild, and whether or not they are succeeding. Strongbad joins the show with hot takes on bean balls and the Portland Traiblazers, and our guys try to put this off-season's Russell Wilson saga behind them. Also, an Aberdeen swimmer and a Hoquiam boys basketball player are named Oly Pen Real Estate Athletes of the Week, and Daniel and Justin give you a summary of what happened in local sports this week.

Daniel brings a strong selection for the Oly Pen Real Estate Athlete of the Week in Hoquiam grad Cole Smith. Smith went on to a successful track and field career at WSU. Our boys reminisce about his high school sports days. How feasible is the crime that Seahawks defensive back Quinton Dunbar is accused of? How feasible is his defense? We share our opinions. The show wraps up with a mailbag segment that contains yet another conversation about the best burger dives in Grays Harbor County, some grilling tips from Justin, and a conversation about a fantasy football question that we only kind of understood.

Daniel, Justin, and producer Andrew give their takes on week two of the XFL season. What's good? What's bad? Are there any early quarterback controversies? Montesano wrestling coach Jeff Klinger joins the show to discuss his team's regional championship and an Athlete of the Week is named from his crew. Daniel and Justin take a semi-deep dive into a controversy in the Hoquiam High School's boys basketball program. A volunteer coach was dismissed and a group of players skipped a playoff game in protest. We offer some information and some opinions. We have tried to contact Hoquiam school administration for comment but have been unsuccessful so far. We closed with mailbag topics about food. What food can be microwaved in shared appliances? Also, a question about comparing beef to pork turned into a segment of cooking tips from Justin! NOTE: PLEASE KEEP YOUR DISCUSSION AND COMMENTS CLASSY AND APPROPRIATE. ANY COMMENTS NAMING NAMES OR THAT WE CONSIDER TO BE SPECULATIVE OR PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL BE DELETED.

Daniel is back! He was joined by Justin and producer Andrew in a hard-hitting discussion about youth sports in today's society. Justin shared a story about his weekend in Seaside and Daniel relived his glory days. High school basketball playoffs are about to start and Daniel gives a rundown of when and where Montesano, Elma, Hoquiam, and Aberdeen will play. Also, we have a very special Athlete of the Week from the Aberdeen boys basketball program. Finally, the mailbag discussion features our picks for best trophy and our top-five Mariners players of all time.

Daniel gets stressed out by the way the Seahawks close out games when they have the lead. The Hawks did, however, pull out a win and we discussed several players who gave their offense life. We also asked whether the New England Patriots are good cheaters or bad cheaters, and how, if at all, Bill Bellichick's legacy is tarnished by the scandals? We then named Aberdeen's Aliyah Tageant our Oly Pen Real Estate Athlete of the Week for her 18 point, 16 rebound, 6 steal performance in the Myrtle Street rivalry win over Hoquiam last week. During the mailbag segment, we talked about great sports moments in history, discussed the high school state football playoffs and where the title game should be played, and what gifts you should buy for the sports lover in your life.

This week Daniel, Justin, and producer Andrew previewed the Seattle Seahawks' Monday Night Football matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Who is more important to the Seahawks, Jadeveon Clowney or Quandre Diggs? They also interviewed Aberdeen coach Mark Buckman and Hoquiam coach Curtis Eccles to preview the upcoming high school boys basketball season. Finally, they answered questions from the mailbag about Black Friday, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, and TV streaming services.

Today we have sixty minutes of radio with two very special guests. Authors Julia Diana Robertson and Cate Holahan. Cate Holahan: "The Widower's Wife": Ana Bacon, a young housewife, tumbles off a cruise ship into the dark and deadly waters, but did she take her secrets with her? Investigator Ryan Monahan is a numbers man. So when his company sends him the Bacon case, which could net a ten million dollar payout, Monahan doubts that her death is just a tragic accident. But the husband has a substantial alibi and a number of witnesses claim to have seen Ana fall. So the official ruling seems to be substantiated. Still, the more Monahan uncovers about Ana's life, the more he realizes how many people would kill to keep her secrets hidden. And the closer he gets to the truth, the greater the odds grow that he, too, will take a fatal fall. Julia Diana Robertson: "Beyond The Screen Door": There are dark secrets hidden behind closed doors in the small Washington State town of Hoquiam and the neighborhood has been content to keep those secrets hidden. In the summer of 1945 loner Nora Lee Sutter receives a terrifying message, pushing the already quiet girl further into isolation. The only person she allows into her private world is her close friend (her only friend) Joanne Waterman. Their friendship becomes a beguiling seduction as the town's secrets begin to unravel.
