Once upon a time a cub reporter (me, then a rookie) was trying to master multitasking while struggling to fulfill the demands of a meticulous, cantankerous, red-pen wielding and whiskey swilling, small town newspaper editor, who could have been considered as a prime character in the 1946 painting “Norman Rockwell Visits a Country Editor.” The man I once considered a master editor would likely be sued today by employees for mental anguish or for creating a hostile work environment. But in the mid-1980s, things were still a bit...
My elderly mother and I came back to Ritzville to lead a quiet, peaceful, mind our own business life, and thus far we have endured disrespect, harassment and even some vandalism. 1) Can’t people find better more constructive things to do? 2) Is this how your parents taught you to behave? 3) Since we aren’t the only one’s dealing with theses issues, would you please leave us alone and mind your manners and business? Thank you. Laura J. Schell, Ritzville...

I’ve got a few things to say about a few things that happened last week. First of all, I will start out by mentioning the firing of Idaho Vandal Head football coach, Robb Akey. I really like Akey, especially when he was the defensive coordinator at WSU. When Akey was hired as the Vandal coach, Idaho had gone through four head coaches in five years and his hiring was supposed to bring stability to the program. And it did. Unfortunately, he didn’t win enough games. However, he...
When you peel off the layers and get beyond the rhetoric, this year’s presidential election is about government control. President Obama wants government to have a greater say in our daily lives, while Gov. Romney advocates for greater personal responsibility and private sector solutions. The path our nation — and to a lesser extent, our state — takes on Nov. 6 will have repercussions far beyond this one election.
