When Donald Trump claims that he knows better than anyone else how to handle debt, believe him when he says as president he would make a deal not to pay it in full. And be aware that you are one of the people he would not hesitate to cheat.
On behalf of the Penn Cove Water Festival Association, we want to say a hearty thanks to you for the support which you provided in The Whidbey Examiner and Whidbey News-Times to publicize our festival.
We were pleased at North Island Medical to see that the Island County Health Department has included accessibility health care outside of the emergency room in the top areas of concern for our community.
The Whidbey Island community can help by sending us names of veterans who may not have gone to one of the resource centers. You may know of a veteran who served our country, and they may need to be recognized and honored by the gift of a quilt.
Like Oak Harbor Councilman Jim Campbell, I wish to express my disappointment that the RV park is to be eliminated from Windjammer Park, though I do understand that it will make more space available for other park elements.
To Ken Pickard: I think it’s time that you are reminded of the fact that your father made a living from Naval Air Station Whidbey at Ault Field, with his store, “Prairie Center Mercantile.”
COER President Ken Pickard’s scud of a letter to the editor with a sexist warhead claiming Island County Board of Health member Jill Johnson was “embarrassingly shrill and disrespectful” for asking simple questions of the Island County Health Officer was an implosion worth waking up to.
Scott Smith’s May 21 letter to the editor attempted to impugn the Island County Health Board’s Dr. Brad Thomas, but his two-bullet reasoning displayed under-informed familiarity with medical research and, hence, fell well short of import. But, he did hoist the issue of Jill Johnson’s grilling of Dr. Thomas.
I was surprised by your lack of coverage of Hendrick Smith’s Sundberg Lecture. This man is one of the leading journalists and thinkers of our time.
I would like to thank Christopher Strader, Mike and Joe Hammernik, and Joe, Jill, Jim and Ryan Hagar for all their help and making sure I got home safe.
I propose we use the KISS — Keep It Simple Stupid — method of organization and combine all of these various groups under one heading: CAVE … Citizens Against Virtually Everything.
This week I came close to backing over a woman outside Red Apple market in Coupeville.
