With Whidbey Island’s hundreds of waterfront homes, I feel the information in the Record’s “Viewpoint” article by Mac McDowell May 18 should be a front page news item.
Regarding the Record’s May 18 editorial, “Code of ethics should be simple.” It’s a rare day when I’m linked to the likes of Hammurabi and Napoleon, but I’ll take it as a compliment.
South Whidbey Garden Club recently experienced another successful plant sale.
I want to personally thank all those who made the May 11 suffragette march and rally organized by the Langley Main Street Association a truly memorable occasion. It was an amazing team effort.
The City of Langley’s Ethics Commission is comprised of fellow citizen volunteers who meet to draft a revised code of ethical conduct under which elected and appointed city officers, employees and contractors will function.
Recycling using all-in-one carts was started years ago throughout much of Washington state. Co-mingled recycling is a convenient way to make landfills last longer, reduce trips to drop off stations and allow customers to choose lesser garbage service than they have now.
I would like to thank Hearts & Hammers and all the wonderful people that helped on my place May 4. Also thanks for the help in the past.
I sincerely thank you for coming to the Maple Ridge Center to record the poppy girls and the awesome veterans there.
We’d like to publicly thank several groups of people who have recently helped to improve the South Whidbey High School tennis courts.
In the next couple of weeks the Washington State Legislature will decide whether to fund construction of a third 144-car ferry.

To the editor: As many of you probably don’t know, National Nurses Week began May 6.
