Gentlemen, get your matches ready.

Island County Sheriff Rick Felici, who doubles as the Fire Marshal, is allowing us to once again craft responsible mounds o’ flame.

Due to “the increase in fuel moisture levels and a return to more typical seasonal weather patterns,” the county burn ban vanishes at midnight, Friday, October 2.

All yard debris and land-clearing burning require a permit where open burning is allowed, with permits issued through the Island County Health Department.

To obtain a verbal permit for residential fires less than four feet in diameter, call (360) 240-5526 or (360) 428-1617, EXT 4.

For a written permit for fires over four feet in diameter, call (360) 679-7350 (North and Central Whidbey), (360) 321-5111, EXT 7350 (South Whidbey), or (360) 387-3443, EXT 228 (Camano Island).

Recreational fires less than three feet in diameter and two feet high do not require a permit.

Local authorities are interested in talking to the person responsible for a nasty hit and run accident.

The driver of the black car seen in the photo was allegedly speeding on West Beach Road Monday around 6 PM, then blew through a stop sign at Libby Road, colliding with another car.

The driver and a passenger then fled the scene on foot.

The car they hit suffered extensive damage, and both occupants were injured.

One suffered a fractured vertebrae and chest contusions, while the other has chest contusions and burns on her arms from the car’s airbags deploying.

If you have information on the owner of the car, please contact the Island County Sheriff’s Department (360-679-7310) or the Oak Harbor Police Department (360-279-4600).

If you know something, call or email today.

If the community works together, the little coward who killed a dog in Oak Harbor Monday will be caught and punished.

Let’s not be too gentle here — throwing a dog out of a moving vehicle, leading to that animal being hit by multiple vehicles and having to be euthanized — means you’re a scumbag.

There is no explanation which will change my opinion.

If you disagree, go blow it out your ass and stop reading Coupeville Sports. You won’t be missed.

Personally, I would prefer the guilty party be tossed out of a moving vehicle themselves.

If you are of the 99.9% of the world which is rightfully pissed off at this, please read the info in the picture above.

And, if you know anything, drop a dime.

Whether you do it for the money or because you’re a good person, just do it.
