“I love debt,” Donald Trump told CNBC. “I’m the king of debt. I love playing with it.”
Guess how he plays with it? His companies have had four bankruptcies, the last of which cost his creditors $1 billion.

Hearts and Hammers was founded in 1994 by Lynn Willeford and Richard Merrill.
May 7 was our 23rd successful Hearts and Hammers workday, and our lively teams worked on 34 homes. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the hardworking, cheerful, dedicated volunteers who make this day possible! I don’t know who benefits more, the homeowners, the volunteers (who all seem to complete the workday energized and elated), or the community.
Editor,
Thank you for your May 25 article about Island Beach Access, “IBA seeks speedy end to beach wall dispute.” This group has done yeoman work not only on the Wonn Road access but also on a number of other areas around Whidbey Island to ensure that public access to the shoreline is indeed available to the public.

The Northwest Language and Cultural Center would like to thank everyone involved who contributed to making the children who travelled all the way from Tianjin China this past week to feel so welcome. We forged new friendships and set forth a lasting relationship for continual cultural understanding and learning.

The Eagles Club in Freeland says, “Thank You” to everyone who showed up for our annual Charity Plant Sale this past May.
The support from the community was amazing. A special thanks to the businesses and individuals, from Whidbey’s southern tip to Coupeville, that donated items and/or services to be raffled off during the two-day event.
Editor,
After reading the scathing response and by name public-lashing from Jean Gervais, “Crime, courts stories have their place on page one,” that responded to my letter to the editor, “The Record should cut back on page one crime stories,” that suggested some of the many crime and court articles might be moved to a weekly section, I feel compelled to at least respond, clarify and even apologize if offense was taken.
I read with vexation and sadness the letter of Jake Stewart, “The Record should cut back on page one crime stories” in Saturday’s edition, regarding front page stories of DUI being read by readers who enjoy the “play-by-play.”
In response to the recent publisher’s column about candidates running unopposed, “Consider public office in Island County for Filing Week,” I came within a mouse click of running.
Editor,
Thank you for the coverage on the Wonn Road beach access, “IBA seeks speedy end to beach wall dispute,” in the Wednesday, May 25 edition of the South Whidbey Record. I really appreciate these articles.
Please continue to keep us informed about this case.
Editor,
We look forward to reading our local paper and happily subscribe to The Record. You all do a great job covering the pulse of South Whidbey. Often it is a rare source for good news in a media world that increasingly focuses on the worst.
While I appreciate your local crime coverage and especially the efforts to address it, it seems like nearly every arrest or crime case is getting front page coverage.
Editor,
We have all been working diligently to get quilts finished to be able to present to our Whidbey veterans. I am working with the South End and North End island veteran resource and support groups to get names for this month’s presentation in recognition of Memorial Day.
Editor,
This week I came close to backing over a woman outside Red Apple market in Coupeville.
My attention had been grabbed by a sudden migraine-type pain. To the woman, I am very sorry and also very pleased nothing happened other than scaring you — and me.
Editor,
The inaugural Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series, featuring Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award winner Hedrick Smith, was a huge success.
The May 6 evening lecture at the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts in Langley drew an overflow crowd. Some people watched the lecture on a monitor in the lobby and some, sadly, had to be turned away. The following night in Coupeville at least 300 people attended.
