This weekend I will make homemade turkey soup in the large electric roasting pan I frequently use this time of year. I’ll carefully place the carcass on center stage in the pan, surround it with fresh water, roughly chopped parsley, chunks of onion and celery and carrots, and whole black pepper. I’ll cover the brew, turn up the heat, and leave it alone until the aromas tell me I can lift the cover and experience some bliss. ‘Fruitcakes’ at the Whidbey Playhouse offers holiday entertainment

Nov 23 2012, 2:02 PM Residents of rural communities in Island County may soon have a say in whether or not their neighbors can shoot guns in their backyards.
