Feb 15 2013, 3:59 PM In December, Island County Commissioners approved curbside recycling for rural residents and Langley.

Feb 15 2013, 4:04 PM You recently printed a letter written negatively about the Coupeville High School Girls Basketball Coach David King because some girls did not get to play in their final game. First, I am shocked a newspaper of any stature would print this. The real story is Coupeville High School athletics benefit hugely from David King’s coaching. Our community owes the King’s a huge amount of gratitude for their efforts with our student-athletes. High school sports are about teaching, learning and winning.

A short distance down the hall from the entrance of the Oak Harbor Library, a door is propped open to a room and there is the sound of stifled laughter.
Ken Bates, a veteran of the local theater, is having trouble holding it in. He is amused by the antics displayed by Mary Kay Hallen, who sits across the table from him and is coughing up a storm as they both read lines of a play during a public reading of Paul Rudnick’s “I Hate Hamlet.”
Dog’s nature provides example of God’s eternal love | Faithful Living
Feb 15 2013, 4:15 PM Bear Wells. Sir Buffness. The nicknames continue to evolve as we live with a dog we believe to be about as precious as dogs can be.

We have always been about big dogs that break brush, romp with the men, and lie by my husband’s feet as he works in his shop. Bear Wells defies it all by weighing 6 pounds and preferring human laps to sleep on. Rather than hunting trips he chooses outings in the family car where he can put on his serious car face and plaster his wet noise against car windows for a closer look at the outside world.
