SPRING IS HERE--As this week begins, a lot of folks are hoping that now that Spring is officially arrived, we will see some much drier and warmer temperatures.While we may have begun this new season a bit on the damp side, the current forecast shows more dry days than wet, so we can only hope that holds true. It also shows the rainy weather may come back on Sunday but with only a 30 percent chance, we can hope it’s just a brief shower and won’t last long. Here’s to Spring and sunshine, which should make us all feel a lot cheerier and it will ce...

Container ships make their way up and down the Columbia River on a regular basis, but at 1,100 feet in length, the Navios Unite is reportedly the largest container ship to do so.

BIT DRIPPY--After a very nice sunny start this past Saturday, the rain front moved in by about two that afternoon and then we got a soaking that evening; at least West Valley did! Waking up to more gloomy, wet weather on Sunday morning, after losing an hour of sleep, was all the more reason to cozy up by the fire and either read a book or watch a little NASCAR in the afternoon. Whatever you did, I hope you’ve prepared yourself for a damp week as there are raindrops in the forecast for every day; although, that doesn’t mean rain all day, so if...

KMUN will hold a pledge drive March 14-20. The long hours of research and preparing questions for a guest during local public affairs or the hours and focus it takes to curate a 2-hour music program, comes down to this: Opening up the microphone and inviting the audience into a partnership for the duration of the show. Partnership, because not only is it important for a radio station to have listeners (KMUN has 30,000 weekly listeners) but also for the community to know that this is your voice in the region.

NICE START--As I begin this column, the air is crisp at just 27 degrees and the ground is white with thick frost but the sun is shining and it looks like this Super Bowl Sunday is going to be a really pretty day. Unfortunately the work week looks to start out pretty wet and so does the coming weekend, but at least a few days in there should be dry, so it looks like we’d best hurry and take advantage of these dry spells while we can. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from Feb. 17-23 are Vickie Reid, Jade Mahitka, Alyssa Stratton, N...

DRY BEGINNING--As this week begins, we are seeing some sunshine after a cloudy start so that’s a welcome sight. We had a decent day on Saturday as well, so a weekend of dryness was very pleasant indeed. While we are going to have several nice days this week, it looks like those nice days will bring about freezing temperatures in the late night hours, so I hope you haven’t gotten too gung-ho with all your plantings. Once those dry days get over, the forecasters are saying we are in for a weekend and more of rain, so while we’ll be warmer, we’ll...
