The demise of the Olympic Games The Olympic Games is the mountain top of the athletic realm. After all, when you consider the thousands of young people who dedicate their lives to become a participant in those games and the millions of spectators who eagerly wait every four years to watch these wonderful athletes perform, it must be a world event. Then came Paris. In the opening ceremony, when then mockery of the “Lord’s Supper” — which in my mind had nothing to do with the Olympics — it avalanched the entire ceremony...
Besides the Ponderosa pine, lilac and lavender, plants that have defied the wrath of summer’s sun and lack of water include: smoke bush cotinus, peonies, juniper, ornamental grass, Karl Forester, sedum, and of course, native plants that have proven their faithfulness for eons.

But that’s not the case if you’re a Division I head football coach like Aaron Best is at Eastern Washington University. Best is busily preparing for his eighth season as the Eagles’ big boss, the team opening at Roos Field in a non-conference game, Thursday, Aug. 29 against the Monmouth Hawks from New Jersey. Fresh from another letter of intent da...
