Both coaches were incredible men […]
My Quaker Grandmother always advised us to remember that every person you see and know as you go through the day is secretly carrying an unknown cross and you have no idea what that burden may be, The crosses we bare come from the individual experiences in our lives and can be shaped from experiences in […]
The water in the dams on the Snake during the spawning season is too hot for the fish. “When temperatures get above 68 degrees, salmon have problems”, states Dennis McLerran, former regional administrator for the EPA in the Northwest. However, the river water filling the dams naturally exceeds 68F during the spawning season. It’s time […]
It was just a few short years ago that the battle to install a new Supreme Court justice was raging with all kinds of accusations.
