Here we go round the political bush.
I bought a new phone.
Thank you for the informative article which outlines the City Council decision to install a disc golf course at Lake Wilderness. While we are in favor of new business, we are even more interested in preservation of the natural beauty of the area which includes the safe habitat for wild animals, such as deer, etc. We were devastated to learn of the destruction of almost 9 acres of forest to build and install a disc golf course. We believe this venture cannot financially support itself and will not only be a money loser, but we will all end up with yet another large swath of forest gone, forever.
April showers bring May flowers. But, April also brings us Earth Day, Arbor Day, and a perfect opportunity to keep the conversation going about environmental sustainability for our community.
I used to have a comic in my cube at work in which a waitress at a diner asks a journalist what is going on and he says nothing.
“No news is good news,” the waitress says.
Is politics meant to divide people? Does economics brings us together?
Every four years a presidential election rolls around with impassioned voters swearing allegiance to their candidate of choice as the nations’ only hope. Salvation is said to rest with said aspirant.
A few days leading up to an exciting event, I usually can’t sleep. I’m just so excited! Two nights before my first caucus, I couldn’t sleep. This time, it wasn’t because I was super excited.
After careful and painstaking deliberation, I have decided it is time to disclose my secret identity that I have kept shrouded behind my newspaper editor facade. In real life, I am Mr. Fun Guy.
The very first thing I did four months ago, after becoming a citizen (besides be a big ball of joy and emotions), was to register to vote.
I have lived in Covington for the past 28 years.
Not only have I experience Covington as a resident, I have also experienced Covington as a business-owner of Wagner’s Crafts for 17 years, as a volunteer on the Covington Economic Development Council for 15 years, as a Covington Chamber of Commerce board member for around seven years, and as a city council member going on 13 years now. I am honored to now serve as your mayor.
There have been many recent changes in Black Diamond City Hall, as a result of the recent election of council members (Brian) Weber and (Pat) Pepper. These two council members, together with incumbent council member (Erika) Morgan, are members of the group Save Black Diamond, and have pledged to “Reform City Hall.”
Last spring, Brian Weber and I decided to run for City Council because we wanted to reform City Hall. Now that I’m on council, I would much rather be doing city business than addressing fabricated political attacks.
Exactly one year ago, I had to a make a pretty big decision. My green card was about to expire and I could have either renewed it for another 10 years or apply for citizenship.
Math is the reason the liberal arts were invented, says my co-worker Kevin.
Last week, Ana Karen wrote an Our Corner about speeding and how little time you save and how much you’re putting yourself at risk when you speed.
Since I started working for The Reporter I have had to make the trek from Kent to Covington each morning, I have seen at least one reckless driver every single day. I am a little nervous driving to work.
As Super Bowl 50 looms in the distance, we Seahawk fans are reminded of what happened in the previous two Super Bowls.
Rules are a funny thing.
Rules, laws and all the things our mothers told us we had to do often bring out late stages of lunacy. That is certainly not the case with me.
I read a columnist somewhere last week and learned I am more out of touch with reality than my daughter, Katy, has led me to believe.
I was at the Journal of San Juan Island newspaper office after Christmas and noticed one of the top 10 stories from 2015 was the discovery of a dinosaur bone on Sucia Island.
Sometime last Feb. at about 5 p.m. my three friends and I were buzzing around the kitchen trying to make dinner. We are all tired from a day of sledding at Mount Baker and I was still dizzy and on cloud 9 from seeing Britney Spears in concert the night before.
