8 years ago July 29, 1887 The Baldwin House received a new couch last week, and on Saturday evening the band christened it by taking a ride around town and giving an open air concert, a la circus band.

As you know, the cost of healthcare has been rising very fast - especially in the last 10 years. Healthcare now consumes 18 percent of the GDP (gross domestic product, a measure of the value of goods and services produced) which is nearly double all other industrialized nations’ spending on healthcare. We all have a role to play in reducing the cost of care, while also improving the experience and quality. You, as consumers, can reduce the cost of care by doing everything you can to stay healthy including exercise and healthy eating. You a...

Approximately a dozen long-term care facilities in Whitman County currently lack advocates assigned to look out for the rights of its residents. The Eastern Washington Long-Term Care Ombudsman program hopes to address that shortcoming by recruiting qualified volunteers who can be assigned these facilities. Volunteers commit four hours each week to residents of designated long-term care facilities. Trained volunteers visit nursing homes, adult family homes and assisted living facilities to advocate for and help protect the rights of residents.... Full story

After discontinuing the local service for yard waste last January due to costs and misuse, the Palouse city council listened to a proposal for another way to go about it. Whitman County Commissioner Greg Partch at the July 10 Palouse council meeting suggested that the county could drop off a collection container for yard debris. The collection box would be hauled back to the county’s landfill site. Whitman County Solid Waste Manager David Nails, who was with Partch at the meeting, said it c...
Flooded streets I heard about and read in the paper about Colfax having to clean mud off certain streets in town. I am surprised that all seem to accept this as a quirk of nature and no one can do anything about it. The purpose of this letter is to make the claim that there is something that can be done about it and that it doesn’t have to happen. Farmers learned more than 30 years ago how to summer fallow a field and not have huge gullies in it the next spring. Conventional summer fallow can even have runoff from a hard summer rain. We saw t... Full story
Football Hero W. Bruce Cameron Editor’s Note: The following column was originally published in 2007. I saw some high-school boys at football practice yesterday, and it reminded me of when I was an all-state high-school football player, which happened early in my imagination. (I probably could have been all-state and won a full-ride scholarship to a Division I school, except that the coach, clearly jealous of my athletic abilities, didn’t send me in for any plays because I technically was not an actual member of the team, since I hadn’t speci...

In 1975, Central Washington University President Jim Brooks approached the Association of Washington Business with a concept of linking business leaders, teachers and high school students together to learn first-hand about what makes our free enterprise system tick. Brooks proposed that employers not only sponsor students and teachers but spend a week with them on the CWU campus. They would form 10-person companies, compete against one another in a computer simulation game and actually invent and market creative new products. That formula has w...
ITEM—Debate continues over how to punish Penn State University following release of the Freeh Report on the child sex abuse scandal in which it was found that top university officials, including beloved football coach, the late Joe Paterno, focused on protecting assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky to avoid endangering the football program. A decision is awaited from the NCAA on whether to cancel this year’s season or longer which would result in loss of millions of dollars amidst pleas that this year’s players were not part of the problem. COMMENT—I... Full story
The country has been thrust into sorrow and grief over the mass killing at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater. The death toll is 12. Another 59 were wounded, some critically. The ages of those killed run from six to 52. It all happened at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie last week when a lone gunman entered the theater and started shooting. Apparently, the shooter had planned his massacre for months, assembling an arsenal of weapons and ammunition and constructing explosive devices. He also had hoped to lure police into another killing...
