Editor,
I have been following the “Big Noise Controversy” on Whidbey and was taken aback by the “Get out of Dodge” and the “Love it or leave it” stance taken by a writer in the Jan. 11 issue of The Record.

Editor,
The concerns stated in your opinion piece in the January 15 issue of The South Whidbey Record, “Concerns lay in response to audit,” are the same as mine.
I have met with Island Transit Director Martha Rose for issues concerning the agency. Presently I am campaigning for a southbound bus shelter at Ledgewood Beach, which would serve the communities of Bonair and Ledgewood.
Editor,
Like many citizens trying to stop Growler jet flights at the Navy’s outlying field (OLF), I’ve been targeted by those portraying Growler jet noise as the “sound of freedom.”
Editor,
With regard to Carol Byng’s letter earlier this month concerning turning military property into a cemetery, I took it to mean that if we had a cemetery here we might be forced to acknowledge the hundreds of folks who lay down their lives for our freedoms.
Editor,
This letter is in response to those who want the Navy to close the Outlying Field at Coupeville.
Sometimes we lose our perspective about issues. For example, I choose to live adjacent to a golf course on South Whidbey. As a result, golf balls hit my house and I sometimes have to endure summertime traffic congestion and long ferry lines. But I don’t expect the golf course to close, or the ferry system to shut down because of my decision to live here. I knew about both of those issues when I moved here. It isn’t perfect, but I love living here.
Editor,
Congratulations on your section, “Salute to Firefighters” on Oct. 30. I feel it was a real bonus for our community to put faces and names to this group of people doing extraordinary service for the South End.
Editor,
Could someone please explain to me what the building/planning department is there for. They issue permits to build and yet they have absolutely no control after the permit is issued.
Editor,
This is a letter in response to Merritt Clifton’s article regarding “bully dogs at Greenbank Farm.”
Editor,
Thank you to our wonderful Whidbey Island community for such generous contributions to the Adopt-a-Senior program. The program serves seniors and individuals with disabilities by providing customized care packages that were delivered just before Christmas. In all, there were more than 50 individuals served — all thanks to the help from our community.
Editor,
Regarding the August 3, 2012 letter from Robert Logue that concerned property taxes and reassessment notices.
Editor,
I have, for several months, read articles from a broad spectrum of people concerning naval operations at the Outlying Field — OLF — near Coupeville. I am angered by COER’s position and now, apparently, the Sierra Club and Port Townsend have jumped on the “bandwagon.”
Editor,
I have been reading about the proposed plan for the new South Whidbey community pool. This sounds very exciting.
Editor,
I would like to thank Mr. Forrest Hill, who risked his own life to rescue me after my boating accident in Holmes Harbor on Dec. 26.
