I am a deputy clerk in the Island County Clerk’s office. I work daily with both Patricia Terry and Debra Van Pelt.
I was intrigued by the lead stories as I read the paper July 10. In particular, the placement decision of “Dog survives cliffhanger” ended up causing me the most interest. As I made my way through the rest of the paper, you can image my surprise that buried on the back page the story about Nicola Wethal receiving the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. So, I am scratching my head wondering why a dog story trumps an article about a teacher earning a national award.
I read with amusement the letter from Helen Bates about “poor” Paula Spina and her mean, unappreciative neighbors.
A large residential development near the Whidbey Golf and Country Club received its final go ahead this week when the Oak Harbor City Council approved the project’s final plat.

A combination of complaints and rechecking work is prompting officials from the Washington State Department of Transportation to remove rumble strips that were recently installed on Whidbey Island highways.
