Cowboy Levi Walters was the first Mixed Bronc Rider out of the chute to open Friday night's Dayton Days-Columbia County Fair Association Rodeo, and stayed on this snorting bronc the full eight seconds, thrilling the crowd that was a bit thin, no thanks to Mother Nature and her Friday afternoon showers. A full card went off in spite of the sprinkling skies, and Saturday broke with blue skies and puffy white clouds interspersed with sunshine for the Chamber of Commerce's Dayton Days Parade on...

By Elizabeth Hovde Washington state taxpayers might be disappointed to learn that as inflation rises and daily household bills go up—and as the Legislature refuses to provide broad-based tax relief—the Inslee Administration is trying to obligate them to even more payments. And these aren’t just one-time payments, they would bring years of obligation. The Inslee Administration just asked the federal government for permission to ignore the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirement that tax-funded health benefits are for legal residents. If approved,...
To the editor, What is happening to the formerly friendly and welcoming Columbia County? After various new members of our community government were sworn into office last January, many beneficial, well-researched and planned projects were halted.

General Outlook So much for the doom and gloom as reported last month. This Awesome April brought most of the winters missing snow in just one short month. Measured in feet not inches snowpack piled up in record fashion nudging out April 2011 for the king of come backs.

Typical April snowfall is light and often followed by warm weather that simply evaporates it to the atmosphere, not adding to the overall snowpack and subsequent runoff. Below normal...
