    A letter can be a powerful thing.
    The handwritten note leaves an indelible mark forever, not only on the ink-stained paper, but also in the heart of its reader.
    American playwright A.R. Gurney knew this when he created his Pulitzer Prize nominated play “Love Letters.”

    By Margaret Walton • September 9, 2008 7:33 pm

    Every year, at about this time, you can expect the inevitable zucchini column.
    For reasons unclear to me,
    I always feel compelled to write about the many possible uses for the excess zucchini that is typically part of the bounty of late summer/early fall.

    Last week’s Republican Telethon reminded me what I miss most about today’s politicians: the three-named luminaries.
    Names like John Quincy Adams, William Howard Taft and Robin of Lochsley.
    My favorite three-pronged political name almost sounds like an imported beer: John Foster Dulles.

    TIDAL LIFE: Green is good, except up there
    TIDAL LIFE: Green is good, except up there
    By Nancy Bartlett • September 5, 2008 8:00 pm

    It happens every year.
    I ignore it as long as I can, pretending I’m on an alternative architecture tour admiring a living roof.

    The late great mandolin picker Bill Monroe probably would have loved Whidbey Island.
    It’s easy to picture him with his band, The Blue Grass Boys, with their superior playing, harmonious multi-part singing and overall down-home, good-time, rootsy feel, pickin’ away in some beautiful clearing in the island woods.

    By Patricia Duff • September 5, 2008 7:49 pm

    Whidbey artist Jerry Hill has been connected to Native American art forms ever since he bought his first knife at age 7 and carved his first mask.
    The summers of his childhood were spent exploring the regions of the Puget Sound, British Columbia and Alaska, where he soaked up the art and culture of the First Nations People.

    Unhappiness seems to drag along behind them as the war looms ahead, and yet, it’s still a comedy.
