Our story last week on the fire that destroyed the home of John Hilty was incorrect on a couple of minor points. Hilty had started out for Moses Lake that morning, but the roads were bad, and he said he just had a feeling he ought to go home. And he did. He settled down in his living room to decide what to do for the day when he heard a loud pop somewhere in the house. In a matter of minutes, flames were forcing him to scramble for a few photo albums and get out of the house. The fire burned very hot and very fast and gutted...

It is the first of the year and many of us stop and take a look at ourselves and think of changes that we might like to make. We call them New Year’s Resolutions. A new year is a chance to make some changes to our lives that we have let slip over the previous year. Perhaps a few pounds have shown up from nowhere, or some bad habits have made their way into our workout, okay maybe we just stopped working out. Whatever it might be, we ask ourselves the question, “Should we make these resolutions or not?” Turn this quest...
To the Editor: What happened to our Constitution? ICE rounded up 680 aliens last week. Some were labeled “criminals” without their day in court. No due process. No equal protection. Evidently, being suspected of a crime is the “new” high bar for deporting people. The administration asserts that this is okay because “legalities” can be sorted out later. Really? Section 1 of the 14th Amendment guarantees due process and equal protection of the law to all persons in the U.S.: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall a...
