IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED--This announcement is going out to the people who have yet to cash their fair premium checks: It is with utmost urgency that you cash them immediately or you will be unable to do so and you will forfeit your money.

Wahkiakum PUD commissioners learned Tuesday that a Department of Revenue (DOR) audit has determined that the utility owes the state $56,000 in underpaid taxes. Auditor Erin Wilson announced that the audit had determined the PUD underpaid state combined excise tax over the six-year period examined in the audit. Most of the underpayment came from a difference between two formulas used to calculate the PUD’s eligibility for discounts on the amount of tax due, Wilson explained. One is a load density discount determined by the amount of utility c...

Having recently spent two months in the Pacific Northwest I flew back to Baltimore on October 28. My flight from Albuquerque to Baltimore was slightly delayed and very turbulent, to the extent that everyone clapped when the pilots finally landed us safely on the ground. I live in Edgewater, Md., which is only half an hour from the airport so I made it home just fine. I can’t say that for a majority of my fellow passengers though; in preparation for Hurricane Sandy shortly after my flight landed, every airport on the eastern seaboard closed, s...

Winter is here, it looks like. The leaves seem to be more colorful this year for some reason. Maybe because we haven’t had much frost. Hunting season is definitely in full swing. Lots of hunters out and about so don’t forget to keep an eye on your pets, especially if they don’t like gunshots. I understand that quite a few animals have already been taken. We had a great weekend as we took a quick trip to Redmond. Ore. for the opening of Smith Rock Brewing Company, the new brew pub and restaurant owned and run by our daughter Danielle, her husba...
