I was fully capable for paying for all of those thi...
Every year the Cheney Free Press awards a $500 scholarship to a male and female Cheney High School graduating senior.

How did we get this way? We’ve spent many hours of our lives telling other people what to do. And now, sitting before this instrument, this monster that has no pity, we are frustrated and lost.
