Let some of our neighbors in our sister towns think differently and then we will have a band contest which will satisfy all that we are right in our assertion. Last Tuesday evening a party was given at the Opera house in honor of the departure of one of Colfax's most estimable young ladies, Miss Lillian Davis. Miss...

It’s about time to replace Air Force One, the president’s plane; however, the new version may not be a Boeing 747. It may be a 777. President Obama’ s 2014 budget allocated $1.14 billion through 2018 for the research and development of a new presidential jet. The total includes one replacement aircraft which could be purchased in 2017. While the Pentagon prefers the four-engine 747, there are a couple of other important factors to consider. There is no question that the safety and security of the president are paramount, but increasingly cost i...
Editor’s Note: The following column was originally published in 2009. In my opinion, family reunions are best spent with just about anybody but the family. There’s a reason why we all live in different states from one another, and that reason is “outstanding warrants.” It’s also because when we all get together, certain issues that have long been buried rise to the surface, such as, “I really take issue with the fact that several decades ago, you were born.” This past Thanksgiving, I was chosen to tell Grandpa Fred that he wouldn’t be a...
ISIS is a force for evil that poses an imminent security threat to the United States, but please, let us get back to you on whether we are determined to defeat it. That is the posture of the Obama administration toward the terror group that proudly demonstrated its malevolence by beheading American journalist James Foley in a propaganda video. For the administration, ISIS isn’t merely a dire enemy, it is a dilemma. President Barack Obama must respond to a group that — with its resources, apocalyptic vision and Western recruits — is clearly a th...
Is it any wonder that with all the grindingly oppressive news these days, matters that are tragic and vital, the first item I seek out when I pick up the paper is about the relatively frivolous disintegration of a high-level marriage. In case you don’t pay attention to trash news, here’s what you’ve been missing: Former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, are accused of doing official favors for businessman Jonnie Williams, who was promoting his supplement created from tobacco. Williams was making large loans to the McDon...
It is the start of the new school year, and a new national conversation has started. It is being argued that schools in most areas start too early in the morning and that students need more sleep. It is said, students, especially teens, should not have to struggle to get up at such hours to make it to class. It may strike some as strange, especially those who had to do chores, deliver morning newspapers or help younger siblings get ready. It may also sound a little indulgent not waking the kids to meet their responsibilities. Yet, those...

BEE STARTS FAIR WEEK Fair week at Mockonema picked up steam with the Labor Day harvest bee and a lot of preparations completed before the start of the four-day run today, Sept. 4.

Whitcom, the area dispatch center in Pullman, is in the midst of training new dispatchers because almost half of the dispatchers departed earlier this summer. County Commissioner Dean Kinzer, who represents the county on the Whitcom board, said seven dispatchers turned in two-week notices on the first of June. He said the dispatchers all said they were quitting because spouses were leaving the area. Whitcom ideally has 20 to 21 dispatchers on call. Kinzer said it takes five to six months to train dispatchers. Five dispatchers are in training...
