Feb 05 2013, 10:59 AM The Pirates basketball team, hoping to qualify for state playoffs, played two must-win games last week. They started off well with a dominant win over Chimacum, but then took a road loss to a tough Eatonville team over the weekend. Vashon wrestlers do it again
Feb 05 2013, 11:07 AM Twenty-two Pirate wrestlers entered the Nisqually League sub-regional tournament hosted by Vashon on Saturday. By the end of the day, an impressive 17 were in the hunt for medals and a berth to the regional tournament this weekend in Castle Rock. Last year the team sent 13 to regionals.

Maybe Islanders should buy the Rhody | Letter to the Editor

Stalemate over Mukai farmhouse has gone on long enough | Letter to the Editor
Feb 05 2013, 12:29 PM I wonder how long Island Landmarks board members J. Nelson Happy and Mary Matthews are going to keep moving chess pieces around in order to avoid giving up their puzzling hold on the Mukai property. For those interested in getting a fuller picture of the prolonged stalemate, go to the search function at vashonbeachcomber.com and type in “Mukai farmhouse.” Second Amendment framers were concerned about power of government
