Same Old Street When alumni return to Harrington, one of the frequent topics of discussion is, "Do you remember," which invariably ends up with memories of the stores on Third Street. People say that as we age the older memories are more reliable than more recently processed information. Memories come into alignment with photos and historic records, but it is fun to try to remember what one saw in former days. Third Street in Harrington since the arrival of the railroad in...

I overheard two men saying at the VA hospital this week, that we don’t stand up for anything any more. They forgot it is the country that we all stand up for. They forgot we do not have to stand up for a mere man. What do you stand up for? We’ll stand up for our fallen brothers and sisters. We’ll also stand alongside each of our neighbors in their hour of need; we’ll stand as the flag goes waving by every time. We’ll stand alongside any and all people, no matter where they come from, color of skin or faith, even those of...

Initially, council members seemed unsure how to respond. Ultimately, however, Mayor Bill Crossley said that he was aware of the issue and that no action had been taken because the council member in question had been working on the resolution of personal issues. The council, the mayor said, was giving their fellow member ample time to organize...

While “doorbelling,” she spoke with a self-identified Trump supporter and o...

Olympia – Summer weather conditions can make vegetation extremely dry and susceptible to fire. In 2017, 63 wildland and vegetation fires accounted for 76 percent of all fireworks-related fires reported to the State Fire Marshal’s Office; resulting in over $8,600 of loss and damages. A small fire can easily get out of control when grass and other vegetation are present. When firework comes into contact with a vegetated area, use a hose or a bucket of water to heavily soak the area, ensuring there are no hot spots that cou...
