With over 1,000 plugs coming in over a period of a few weeks, the students were super busy, and the greenhouse filled quickly. Through February and March, many plants were started from...

Dr. Keith Paredes has seen it more times than he’d care to recall: A woman, bleeding heavily, comes to the ER. She needs an urgent surgical procedure, maybe even a blood transfusion, from a condition like untreated fibroids. She’s there because she hasn’t had a routine doctor visit for ages. There are many reasons people put off going to the doctor. One of the big reasons is cost — a huge arc in the current debate about whether and how to repeal and replace Obamacare, which sought to increase the number of Americans with qu...

Last Wednesday the governor signed legislation from 13th District Sen. Judy Warnick and Rep. Tom Dent that would enable irrigation districts to enter into public-private partnerships for new energy infrastructure, including hydroelectric projects. “This is a good piece of bipartisan legislation that is going to create jobs and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our irrigation-district systems,” said Dent, R-Moses Lake, about Senate Bill 5261, which is identical to a House bill he introduced. “We will be able to pu...
Eastern Washington’s very wet winter and spring this year has resulted in the refilling of Pacific Lake. The upper section of the lake has now risen high enough that the water has begun to spill over into the lower section. The upper section shown in the left-hand photo above is where the Odessa Lions Club members built a boat launch and viewing platform in the early 1960s, visible in the right center of the picture next to the large bluff overlooking the water. This end of the lake was also called Allington Bay. The r...
