The battle between Mother Nature and the Weather Manipulators is one around here. The sun wants so to shine, but they aren't about to let it. They seem to have unlimited amounts of lethal cloud making substances... does it ever end? help - i want the old Northwest BACK! Ok so here we go....

Sec of the Navy Donald Winter June 2 2008 address in Seattle
In many ways, a community's search for he right balance is a classic case of short term and long - term interests in conflict and I would argue that many development ideas that are attractive in the short term do not serve the long term interests of the community.
In the Pacific NW, communities are achieving that balance and I would like to thank Island county and Oak Harbor officials, in particular, for what they are trying to do to avoid these problems.
I have received their development plans, and they are as good as any I have seen.
On the other side of the country, however, we are facing a real challenge in locating an area for usse as an Outlying Landing Field.
