As your sheriff, I am reaching out to you with what I hope is an...

Mystery Don't you just love it when you can't trust your own eyes?

The 46th annual Odessa Deutschesfest drew enthusiastic crowds to all of the events offered. Despite some relatively light rain during the Saturday morning parade and the threat of even windier conditions, the folks who attended appeared not to be bothered much at all.

(Davenport, Wash., August 24, 2016.) It has been a year and a half since the Lincoln County Economic Development Council and WSU Extension hosted a forum to address childcare issues.

Fast forward to summer 201...
