    Thrailkill named parade grand marshal
    Thrailkill named parade grand marshal
    By Kathy Reed • November 29, 2012 4:23 pm

    For the first time ever, Coupeville’s annual Christmas parade will have a grand marshal when it rolls down Main Street at 4 p.m. Saturday.

    While some argue the annual event just seems to magically come together each year, most understand it takes more than holiday magic to pull it off.

    Because of that, the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce – which is in charge of the Christmas parade now – has chosen longtime parade organizer Carol Thrailkill as the event’s first grand marshal.

    By Kathy Reed • November 27, 2012 7:16 pm

    After nearly three hours of public comment in Coupeville last week, Island County Commissioners are still not ready to make a decision on a proposed Shoreline Master Program update.

    Commissioners continued the second of two public hearings to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27, after the News-Times went to press, to give citizens one last chance to weigh in on the issue and to give themselves and county staff time to sort through the mountain of suggestions brought before them.

    The Navy will study three alternatives to its 2008 Record of Decision, all of which would result in basing more P-8As at NAS Whidbey.
