To the Editor: We tell our young people that alcohol and marijuana are bad for them and then we voted to make alcohol more available than it had been previously. Then 56 percent of the registered voters (who voted) passed a law to make weed available in many different forms so that non-smokers could escape reality. The laws about alcohol and marijuana were written so that most people didn’t understand them. Alcohol is more expensive and weed will be more expensive until supply matches demand! The sad facts about both situatio...
Wheat markets have been trying to find a bottom the last week. Recent support has come from concerns about the quality of the European wheat crop due to excessive rains. As much as a third of the French crop may wind up becoming feed wheat. They are having the same falling number issues that many of us experienced last year. During the downtrend in wheat futures over the last three months, speculative commodity funds have accumulated a net short position of over 400 million bu. If the concerns over the quality of wheat in Eur...
To the Editor: My name is Diane Upky. I am writing this letter to the editor to endorse and support Garth Dano for Prosecutor. Mr. Dano was our family’s attorney about three years ago when my son and his friend nearly died as the result of a car accident caused by a drunk driver. Both young men have sustained life altering injuries and had medical expenses exceeding $1 million.

Humanitarianism is a wonderful endeavor and has the potential to save the world. But can Americans afford to create a “welfare state” for the world? With the national debt so far out of whack that no administration now or in the near future can possibly meet budgetary restraints, how is it possible to endorse, comfort, house, feed and heal the hordes of humanity crossing our borders to obtain the freedoms our forefathers shed blood to obtain for us? In our personal lives, just as in government, there is a finite amount of...

Box 40002, Olympia, WA 98504-0002 or by phone at 360-902-4111 or by fax at 360-753-4110. Governors O’Malley and Patrick have opened their respective states to housing refugee children. Certainly, the state of Washington can also do that. It is the humane thing to do, the Christian thing to do, the moral thing to do. DC is in gridlock once again, so nothing gets d...
