In the upcoming election, voters countywide will be casting their ballots for County Council members. I realize that people who live on Orcas and Lopez might not be very familiar with Bob Jarman from San Juan Island.

I worked with Bob for almost 30 years, first in a small company, then in a very large one. I also watched Bob in a supervisory position. Bob is a hardworking, honest, straightforward individual who is willing to share his opinion but also willing to listen to yours. Bob is a great choice for county Council.

Thank you,

Barry Madan

Regarding the upcoming nonpartisan County Council election, we are surprised at how many people have made up their minds because of who they have labeled as the "liberal" or the "conservative" candidate, with out really looking at what the candidates stand for and what they have actually done.

As a property owner, parent, pedestrian and long time resident, Lisa Byers has my vote.

As a property owner, I have watched Lisa utilize her immaculate skill set to lead Opal for 17 years. In doing show, she continually balanced housing needs, local families and jobs, and the needs of our beautiful island environment. Additionally, her vast experience of the permitting regulations and requirements from OUR perspective will serve us well on the County Council.

We citizens of San Juan County are indeed fortunate to have Lovel Pratt as a candidate for County Council in the April 23 election. Her 20 years of creative involvement in many aspects of community life have demonstrated her deep caring, both for the well-being of her fellow Islanders -– their housing, livelihoods, education etc. -- and for the treasured environment which adds so much to Island life -– recreational, economic and educational opportunities, and just plain enjoyment of the natural world.

We live here so we can enjoy the peace, freedom, and natural beauty of our rural island paradise. Like many of us, we came here to escape the tyranny of “civilization” – the rules, regulations, oversight, and restrictions that are such an oppressive part of daily life on the mainland.

Dear Readers,

I have known Jamie Stephens for nearly 20 years now and I continue to appreciate, among other things, his significant and consistent dedication to the community over that period of time. In addition to serving as the Chair of the County Council, Jamie has served on and worked with innumerable local boards.
