Dementia is a scourge that must be deciphered and a cure found. Until that fine day, the many victims and those taking care of them need serious assistance, ending with hospice care in the end stages of this devastating disease.

After a year of political name-calling and clever ads and sound bytes, I’ve given up on candidates’ promises and now look at their voting records.
The Fourth of July once consisted of a couple nights of mostly popping sounds and sparkle, but this year it devolved into the island under siege of munitions-grade explosions.
I don’t know about you, but I am tired of all the big-money special interests trying to buy our elections to protect their selfish interests.
For years, I lamented the “fuddy duddy” crowd that wanted to ruin the Fourth of July and ban neighborhood fireworks. However, after this latest Independence Day, I am forced to join that call to ban them, though not for noise reasons.

Editor,
After reading week after week the incessant whining of COER writers who constantly blame the Navy for the result of their poor real estate choices, I am able to find some humor in the Whidbey News-Times in the form of the Island Scanner column.
Editor,
“The economic well-being blood of Oak Harbor and surrounding communities was, and is still, dependent on the Navy base.”
