A guest columnist for the Seattle P.I., Anthony Robinson, recently wrote an article on the top 10 “markers of integrity.” I believe there are two principle marks of integrity that relate to the recent vandalism by a few of our youth on Bainbridge Island.
I would like to address Rob Clark’s question (“A curmudgeonly view of muddling,” June 21), “…why are we spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to restore the Yeomalt Cabin when there are homeless people on the street?”
The recently announced arrest of two of the senior “paint night vandals” prompts me to write. Sam Bice and Colin Bowman are my neighbors. On the assumption that they were among the culprits, I am sad for them, for their parents and siblings, and for their friends. They are both good young men who are apparently guilty of serious lapses of judgment. Whatever the combination of events that led them to commit these acts, there is no reasonable justification, and there must be consequences. I just hope this community doesn’t allow those consequences to get out of hand.

I appreciate Chad Schuster’s article (“Time to honor those who sacrificed,” May 28) honoring the veterans from Bainbridge Island. As one of the speakers at the ceremony, I was concerned my message wasn’t clear. The goal of my talk was to illustrate the different worlds I experienced while deployed to Camp Fallujah in Iraq, and how we defined the front line in Iraq.
People should get serious about affordable housing…City should bring back flower baskets…City needs long-range budget plan…more.
