DAVENPORT – A recent local Facebook post asked the question, "Why are so many people in Davenport cutting down trees?" That's a tough question to answer. Perhaps there's a valid reason for these acts such as diseased or hazardous trees, or maybe it has something to do with the maintenance required to enjoy them. Raking leaves can get old, but should we take into account a little history before making such a final decision to remove a tree? When early pioneers came to L...

Sorry folks, but their plans are to clean, fix, paint, clean, do some minor remodeling, clean and try their best to open for business by July 4. With help from their son Andy, they m...

Old family recipes are the best. A friend recently noted that grandma's recipes are often a list of ingredients, with few or no instructions. The recipe sharer assumed you knew what to do with the ingredients. Many shared recipes of the past were seasonal in nature. As various foods came in season, cooks exchanged recipes to utilize the bounty. Local asparagus season will soon be here, and Marilyn Fink, the grandma in the above conversation, shared her recipe for Pickled...

Much of the news from Hanford focuses on radioactive waste cleanup and storing it safely. It has accumulated since the 1940s when nuclear reactors enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. While that tedious work will continue for years to come, Hanford sci...
The 2021 legislative session, which is scheduled to end April 25, will be remembered for several things – some good, some bad.

For instance, a higher state gas tax and a new “cap and trade” tax that would hit motorists hard, and a higher cellphone tax. Also, before the Legislature wraps up its 105-day session, it’s likely to pass Senate...
