Bad dentures prompt consumer complaints

When a particularly hard candy bar cracked her partial denture this past January, Coupeville resident Veronica Murray had no idea just how much her life was about to change.

At the time, she never would have guessed the next three months would turn her life into a medical nightmare. Today, the 67-year-old owns a new set of dentures that don't work, is out $2,200 and is considering filing a civil lawsuit.

But her error wasn't in deciding to eat that candy bar. It was choosing Kevin Kowalski of Oak Harbor Denture Center, a local denturist whose service, according to Murray, is nothing to smile about.

School to get covered playground... at last

After 30 years of wishing for a covered play area at the Coupeville Elementary School, the school district is finally moving forward with plans to build one.

At a May meeting, the school board approved Superintendent Patty Page's request to proceed, despite serious budget constraints. The project, which includes the new play area and remodeling of the school office, is expected to cost about $375,000.

Although the board voted at the same meeting to approve the elimination of two teaching positions, President Kathleen Anderson said the play area is a project that is long overdue.
