COLFAX - The Whitman Community Hospital Auxiliary raised funds to support the hospital for more than 65 years, and now they need some new, younger members. "Younger" is a relative term, as the members range in age from 60s to 90, everyone qualifying for senior status. "We're always looking for people to come and help us out," said Kathy Clark, co-manager of the Blue Bird Boutique gift shop, the auxiliary's primary source of funds. The auxiliary is one of two organizations supporting Whitman...

A couple of years ago, a major regional medical clinic leader announced his support for a local tax hike to beef up the city’s police force and provide cops with better training and capabilities. His rational was two-fold: the Clinic needed police to augment its security and good public safety attracted the best staff. Any realtor will tell you people want good schools and safe neighborhoods. They want police who can respond quickly to emergency calls and investigate crimes. Today, the p...
As a Whitman County resident and subscriber to the Whitman Gazette I am dismayed that you would publish (so prominently) an editorial by Liv Finne of the Washington Policy Center, “Inslee funding unnecessary union jobs”, Sept. 10. Liv Finne has probably never seen a Palouse wheat field nor does she have any perspective on rural public schools and the families they serve. Most, if not all Whitman County schools are holding on site classes and the labor force is not unionized. Furthermore, the local public school is the only choice for par...
There’s buzz out recently about mouthwash killing COVID after a published study by Penn State amazingly found that it had 99% efficacy, just like it says on the bottle. Mouthwash usually contains some form of peroxide; the old school stuff had alcohol. So, I started thinking. How else can we achieve those results without the rigors of nightly oral hygiene? Consumption! Now, I do not advocate knocking back shots of peroxide unless you want to see your lunch a second time, but alcohol comes in many flavors pleasing to the pallet, and with a l...
Olympia is clearly out of touch with Eastern Washington, and you won’t have to look any further than your ballot to figure that out. In addition to the East versus West gubernatorial battle, you’ll find Referendum 90, pitting many rural parents against a few city-based lawmakers and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal over the measure. Referendum 90 targets Senate Bill 5395, a so-called “comprehensive” and “inclusive” sexual education curriculum being mandated by those in Olympia. For the last few years, a version of...
