Lawmakers this week held hearings on two gun- related initiatives that drew hundreds of people with strong views, both for and against - including former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who three years ago was injured in a gun attack. Both the Senate and House majorities are divided on the issue, so there's little chance the Legislature will actually vote on either...
My 'thing' with the mail began in the fifth grade, when I entered an essay contest. Our teachers informed us that if we won, we would be sent a letter of notification.

But shortly afterwards, I entered another one, and the ritual began once more. To this day, when Mom comes home from work and we've briefed each other on the day's events, I'll ask her if she...
My road to becoming a mature adult began with Bill Caudill (a.k.a.,"The Inspector"). Caudill was the "closer" for the Seattle Mariners for a couple of years in the mid-eighties. (A closer is a pitcher who comes into the game in the ninth inning when his team has a slim lead.) Whenever Caudill came into the game, the theme from "The Pink Panther" would play in the stadium (a.k.a., "The Kingdome"). I loved the Mariners and Bill Caudill. I was in college in Seattle when the Sea- hawks joined t...

Roland Erikson, who lives just west of Waitsburg on Knotgrass Road. contacted Washington State Department of Wildlife officials and local Houndsman Trey Cole Thursday afternoon, after disco...

Organizers are hoping for a better turnout than the first meeting. Organizers will use the meeting to gauge community support for the May event and are hoping that club and group representatives as well as interested individuals will show up to provide input. "If we're going to have an entire weekend event, we really need some help pulling it off...
