When grilling a hamburger, you put cheese on one, then the wind lifts it off the chosen burger, and flips it onto an adjacent one. Yes, it happened. It's a true story. 
Have you changed your daily routines because of the E. coli outbreak in Ellensburg? Are you washing your hands more frequently? Making other changes? 
Kittitas County's recycling rate is 34 percent. The state average is 45 percent. The county's solid waste department estimates every person in the county discards the equivalent of 5.45 pounds of solid waste daily. And it's estimated that more than 50 percent of that waste is reusable or recyclable. What's keeping you from recycling? Are residents doing enough? 
May 2010 was the windiest month in Ellensburg in the last 11 years, according to the National Weather Service. (See story by clicking here.) To mark the occasion, it's time for a game of You Know It's Windy When .... Example: You know it's windy in the Kittitas Valley when you try to have a picnic and everything blows away. Or ...You know it's windy in the Kittitas Valley when your patio furniture lands in the neighbor's patio. We know you can come up with something better ... share your entries by commenting below.
Why is it that when I go to any of the opinion pages there is nothing listed? 
Kittitas Valley Community Hospital officials and local health care providers say they are leading a concerted effort to improve access to health care in Kittitas County, while still providing quality care locally. Officials say they have made strides in the past year in recruiting and hiring new physicians. (See June 19 print and VIP editions of the Daily Record for the full story -- part of it is posted here). What do you think? Are things improving?
What do you think about a proposal to annex Vista View Estates, a subdivision on the corner of Kittitas Highway and Pfenning Road, along with four additional properties nearby? The Ellensburg City Council is considering the issue. 
A new law making it a primary offense to use a cell phone while driving takes effect June 10 in Washington. How are you responding? Are you buying a handsfree device? Do you already have one? 
Ken Griffey Jr. has said so long to the baseball diamond. What are your thoughts as baseball witnesses the end of a long, mostly glorious career? Are nostalgic for the force that was Ken Griffey Jr. circa 1997? Are you happy to see a .184 hitter go? Let's hear it. 
It's graduation season in the Kittitas Valley. What advice do you have for local graduates headed out into the world? 
What do you think of proposed rules that would allow commercial-sized wind turbines and towers on rural county lands?
What do you think of the Ellensburg City Council's decision not to waive fees for the Head Start building? 
How is the local economy doing? Better than last year at this time? Worse? How do you think local businesses are doing lately? What about your family? Are you better off than last year? Worse? 
What do you think of proposals on the ballot to privatize state liquor stores? Click here for a link of proposed ballot initiatives this year.
Is there a list of profanity that we can access? It would be nice to have the list with suggested alternatives to words like He!! where !=L and ar$e where $=S. I see where He!! is ok in a letter to the editor but not in a response. Ar%e was an alternative to A$$ but ar$e also became profane. I could use "behind" to replace ar$e or a$$ but then I would come off like I was talking to toddlers and I assume I am talking to adults. There must be a secure, hidden drawer of place where this list can be seen and those words can then be avoided. 
Tuesday, May 18th, is the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens. The blast killed 57 people, obliterated a forest, filled local rivers with mud and spewed ash for miles. What do you remember from that time? Share stories and photos here. 
Okay, what the *#$! is going on with the M's this year? When they're hitting, their relievers give up slams in the 8th. When our pitchers like Vargas and Fister are dialing in, we can't even execute a squeeze. I really like this lineup, but they better start playing up to their potential soon or the Sounders will start out-drawing them at the gate! |
