“Although hantavirus is rare, it can be deadly,” says Health Officer Dr. Alexander Brzezny. “By taking a few simple steps, people can protect themselves from being exposed.” Hantavirus is spread by deer mice that carry the virus in their urine, saliva, and droppings. A person may be exposed to hantavirus by breathing in contaminated dust after disturbing or cleaning rodent droppings or nests, or by living or working in rodent-infested settings. Each year, usually one to three people in our state become sick with hantavirus pu...
An overview and analysis of HB 2175 indicates the bill would help improve Washington’s wireless telecommunications climate, making it easier and less costly for wireless companies to respond to ever-increasing consumer demand for wireless telecommunications services.

Based on WPC’s research and analysis, HB 2175 would serve the pub...

You can A) buy the candy bar and immediately inhale it before you can even get to your car, B) Pass it up altogether, o...

Hi, here I am again. This week we continue on and learn about the grain elevators. The picture aside was taken in 2009. There is no mystery about these structures.

I asked Alvin "why did your father build the elevator? Was it so he could store grain and not have to pay W.C. Raugust/OTC or ot...
To the Editor: We have the White House and their party trying to shift the news media away from their most recent problems. We had warm weather, draught, electricity shortages and petroeum shortages for many years. Think back to the 70s with California talking about running a pipeline from the Columbia River, lines at the gas pump, room temperatures at 62 degrees in schools and givernment buildings. Also, we need to remember rationing during World War II. We would have enough petroleum if Obama would approve Keystone and the...

My sister-in-law has a different globe, one specially purchased for her by her...
