Given the first contested school board election in 12 years, we took the time to critically review the candidate platforms of Mike Spence and Dale Perry. In doing so, we were reminded of the mathematical witticism: “My head is in the oven, my behind is in the freezer, so ‘on average,’ I’m comfortable.”
To the editor: I would like to endorse Dale Perry for Bainbridge Island School Board, District 2.
To the editor: Eileen McSherry is the right choice for fire commissioner. She is competent, capable and committed to high quality public service.
To the editor: When diplomatic relations were reestablished with Vietnam in 1995, I traveled there with family members to reach out to the Vietnamese people, in honor of all losses on all sides, and to begin building bridges of trust and understanding.

To the editor: At first blush, it might appear that every one of the candidates running for city council are environmentalists who are committed to promoting and protecting our community values and the unique way of life we all enjoy. But words are cheap, as are lovely campaign photos of our harbors, rural vistas and tree-lined roads.
To the editor: In the second candidates forum Dick Haugan talks about downtown merchants grumbling about the 19 parking spots that got eliminated in the Winslow Tomorrow project. Let me cry a few crocodile tears for them.
