Charges revived against youth leaderJul 03 2008, 11:26 AM The Island County Prosecutors Office charged former Oak Harbor youth leader Roosevelt Rumble last Friday with one count of sexual misconduct with a minor in the second degree.

Opening the meeting, Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock swore in the mayor and the three new council members, Rick Almberg, Jim Palmer and Beth Munns.
