Building new high-voltage transmission is expensive, complex and complicated, but without it compliance with government clean-energy mandates will be difficult to achieve – maybe impossible. In July, the Bonneville Power Administration announced a plan to move ahead with more than $2 billion in multiple high-voltage transmission substation and line projects necessary to reinforce the transmission grid that connects the Northwest with the American Southwest and points east. "These projects are in...

Earlier this year, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1), commonly referred to as "bird flu", made headlines after jumping from animals to farmworkers in Michigan, Colorado, Texas, and Missouri. Organized by Wahkiakum County Health & Human Services and Washington S...

For those of us who watch local TV, it has been quite an exhausting experience to see the number of ads for Kent and Marie urging us to vote one way or the other. Two years ago Kent was endorsed by Trump and picked up some outside money, but since the national folks thought he was a shoo-in, not much. Marie on the other hand had nearly no support from the national level. Even so, she ended up squeaking to a narrow victory. This happened because moderates from both parties voted for her, and far-left Democrats felt occasional support is better...
Remember when Japan attacked the U.S. naval base of Pearl Harbor, on December, 7, 1941? As a sovereign nation, President Rooselvelt had no choice but to ask Congress to declare war on Japan. Sovereign nations are independent of control by any other nation, have full self-agency, and have the right to defend themselves...just as we did in 1941. When we help Ukraine defend itself, we are helping our NATO allies, who would be the next targets of Russia's aggression. Representative Perez is a fierce supporter of Ukraine's stance as a sovereign...
I am voting for Marie because she is working at all levels for us in SW WA. At the congressional level, Marie Glusenkamp Perez ( WA-03-D) recently teamed up with Rep. Juan Ciscomani’s (AZ-06-R) to design the bipartisan Ensuring Access to Medicaid Buy-In Program Act. A few days ago this bill unanimously passed the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to expand work opportunities and benefits for working adults with disabilities. She regularly visits us at Mile38 to listen to our concerns and to answer questions. Her “mobile office” staff...

COOL START. Well, as I begin this column we are sitting in a thick layer of fog with some nippy, lower forties temperatures and so it certainly feels like fall. The sunshine that came along with this cool start was nice and the once damp forecast is now showing a whole lot of days in the upper 60s and 70s, so that’s going to be great, if that holds true. I know we all have a lot of things that need to be done prior to the onset of winter, so here’s to getting that all accomplished. DEVASTATING. While we are enjoying milder weather here, we cann...
