What is an iron lion? He or she is a warrior who doesn’t quit. Or rather doesn’t know when to quit. I guess quit is a big no-no word when it comes to lions, especially the human kind. Last night I watched the Mike Tyson- Jake Paul fight. I’m not a boxing fan, so I didn’t understand some of the subtleties of the match. However, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that match.

Chris Cargill says a national popular vote would result in Washington state’s electoral votes going to Donald Trump in the last election. The whole point of a national popular vote is to eliminate the electoral college, so there would be no electoral votes. Washington would be on record as not having a majority of voters who chose Donald Trump, but he would not be granted our electoral votes since there wouldn’t be any. Kate Blake Tacoma...

I have a penchant for early awakening each morning, long before my husband greets the morning. As a result, I strive to leave our bed with as little noise or movement as possible. This means, my wardrobe for the day is by my bed, handy to be grabbed and put on, without aid of any lights. Usually my efforts proceed without difficulty. However, on occasion, there are unforeseen consequences. An especially busy week, or distracted bedtime, and the pile of potential clothes can proliferate unconsciously. So there I am, in the...
November 2024 Yearning for fresh produce from your garden? Hydroponics, water gardening, offers an alternative to waiting for next summer’s yields. Tired of wilted lettuce on your BLT’s?

RITZVILLE — It’s not going to surprise many people that the wheat market is in no way a method to get rich quick. “It’s down,” Washington State University regional extension specialist Aaron Esser said about the wheat farmer’s market price. “It’s way down. I can go back over 10 years and find when the price of wheat was significantly higher than what it is currently, but I think it’s well below the cost of production for most producers, especially if you start looking at their true cost of production. “I’m not sure what it lo...

Who was she and why is she acting to weird? First impressions are important, and she makes an indelible one. The clothes are astonishing. She is not one to wear subdued hues, no gray, pastels or beiges for her. And she didn’t tiptoe around. No, she went everywhere taking giant strides as though she was heading to the finish line of a race, and coming in first, of course. In the same way, she greeted every day with gusto and curiosity, jumping out of bed and into whatever colorful costume brought her joy that day. For some p...

November 1, 2024 Margaret A. Swenson October’s Glory has faded into November’s Fog. Like statues in Rome trees stand with little or no adornment. Shrubs, some with only berries remaining on their branches exhibit their framework. And perennials, fallen to the ground, seem to have died. Our plants are not dead. They are simply in another stage of life. They are waiting for winter when they will rest. What can we do to encourage their resurgence in the spring? We can make sure the ground where they have been growing is ade...
