The Whidbey Examiner was wrong to run cartoon | Letters
I wish to express my outrage at the Arlene’s Flowers political cartoon illustrated by Milt Priggee of Oak Harbor in last week’s Whidbey Examiner. Mr. Priggee depicted Jesus as an evil horned thug. I have noticed that, more and more, it is seemingly becoming acceptable to mock Jesus Christ.
Sadly, it is somewhat expected to come from the main-stream media these days.
Not only is it despicable and insulting when this is done in the larger publications, but when it happens right here in our small-town community and approved by our local newspaper editors and their publisher, well what gives?
Blankenship leaving is a loss to the port
Editor,
We’ve lost a naturally gifted leader.
I was so sorry to see the resignation of Laura Blankenship from the Port. And for there to be a subtle insinuation of negative motives shows only that you don’t really know Laura.
Letter: Port commissioners should repay funds
Editor,
Port of Coupeville commissioners Marshall Bronson and Benye Weber should repay the public funds spent and wasted as a result of the false statements they made at the port’s Feb. 13 public meeting.
Letter: Commissioners right to rescind accusation
Editor,
Port of Coupeville Commissioners Marshall Bronson and Benye Weber finally signed letter of apology and retraction after they publicly accused me, behind my back, of an illegal and unethical review of public records.
Letter: There was no ‘backroom scheming’
Editor,
I was very surprised to read the accusation of “backroom scheming” in your piece in Thursday 11 edition. I am aware that Laura Blankenship was once in charge at Greenbank Farm and that she was removed by the management group.
Letter: Thankful for Ebey Forever Fund support
Editor,
On behalf of the Ebey’s Forever Fund, I want to thank our community for your ongoing commitment to preserving the rural working landscape and community of Ebey’s Reserve.
Letter: Fundraiser a success due to community
Editor,
On behalf of the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools, I would like to thank the Front Street Grill and their wonderful staff for a very rewarding day.
Letter: Excited for Class of 2013’s future
Editor,
I would just like to give a shout out to the all seniors at Coupeville high school. You all are so awesome and I’m going to miss each and every one of you when our time comes to go our separate ways.
Thankful for help of Coupeville seniors
Editor,
I’m writing to make an attempt at thanking a group of Coupeville High School seniors who helped me and my two children on Saturday, March 30. I didn’t get their names, but in the course of conversation, I learned that they had helped out at a mountain bike race at Fort Ebey, one was a participant in Science Olympiad, they were dropping a friend off on an early Saturday evening.
Letter: Focusing on life’s positive achievement
Editor,
I ran for the Greenbank commissioner position on the Port of Coupeville because I naively envisioned three elected officials coming together in public meetings with an open mind to thoughtfully and thoroughly discuss issues and reach a consensus on how to proceed. I am sad to say this has not been my experience as your District 3 commissioner for the last 15 months.
Letter: Printing human remains photo was wrong
Editor,
I just viewed the actual front page of the March 21 Whidbey Examiner and was appalled that the newspaper felt it appropriate to show an image of human remains found on the beach at Coupeville.
