Embracing holi-delays

There wasn’t a surrender ceremony. But you know that cultural conflict between commerce and the mostly lip-service yearning to keep ever-expanding holiday “seasons” from scraping away the calendar’s integrity like relentless glaciers?

Recycling with style

For many, spring triggers a paradox within us – while we yearn to purge the clutter that has slowly crept into our closets and taken over our countertops during the dismally dark days of winter, we cannot resist snagging our neighbor’s somehow more useful-looking discard pile in the name of a good bargain.

Goodwill and Huckleberry’s team up for spring ‘recycling’ drive

One of our area’s favorite summertime traditions has moved to the spring: the Goodwill donation day at Huckleberry’s Natural Market. A Goodwill trailer will be at the South Hill location from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 24, awaiting the community’s unwanted household goods and electronics.

Goodwill gladly accepts unwanted electronics

We’re not a big television-watching family. I seldom watch, but when I do it’s usually deliberate. I sit down to watch a show I’ve selected. I’m not one for surfing channels or flopping down on the sofa for hours of passive entertainment. Besides the small set in my bedroom, there is another downstairs for family movie-watching but we seldom turn it on.

First Friday

Receptions run from 5 to 8 p.m. unless otherwise indicated. Arbor Crest Tasting Room - Works by Dave McGranaghan, music by Maxie Ray Mills. River Park Square, third level, 808 W. Main Ave. (509) 747-3903

Goodwill to become electronics recycler

Starting Jan. 1, Washington residents will no longer need to pay a recycler to take old computers and TVs off their hands.

Find colorful mix at ‘Art, Garden Art and Plant Sale’

Each year artist Kay O'Rourke assembles an eclectic sampling of area artisans for her annual "Art, Garden Art and Plant Sale." "I like having a really good mix of people," says O'Rourke.

NO HEADLINE

A bill that would require girls under 18 to get permission from a parent before having an abortion is expected to be introduced to the Legislature shortly. Rep.
