One woman honoring her father's dream brought literally hundreds of people to Harrington on Saturday, May 15, for the 9th Annual Car Show.

ODESSA – The May 10 meeting of the Odessa Town Council met in the community center was chaired by Mayor Bill Crossley and attended by the full council (Vickie Iverson, Landon Lobe, Kelly Watkins, Amy Hunt, Marlene Kramer).

I recently visited Odessa High School and found my 1965 graduation picture on the wall. Principal Jamie Nelson was my gracious tour guide. I scouted nearby graduation pictures to find familiar faces, with good or bad vocal reviews about their previous intents toward me and may have even said aloud why I never knew anybody else outside my own small class, like Bruce Wayne Porter, who was a few years younger. I had no idea then who he was or the trouble he also endured throughout his school years. Bruce wrote the book I...
Masks are coming off. Most residents wanting a coronavirus vaccination have gotten one. Sports are on and students are back in the classroom. It’s not a coronavirus emergency that’s keeping Washingtonians from going back to work. Over the past several weeks, I’ve had numerous conversations with owners and managers trying to get their small businesses back on solid financial ground. Given residents’ frustration of being pent up for more than 14 months, you’d think that woul...

The recall petition was filed with the Secretary of State’s Office in Olympia on Monday, May 17. Gov. Inslee has yet to respond to the recall petition. Under the state Constitution, any elected official in the state can be removed from office for misfeasance, malfeasance and violating an...

Never mind the fact it appears to be illegal to do this. But since he has previously issued questionable line-item vetoes, there was never any doubt that he would do...
