Students were swinging at the Valentine's Day Ball at J.C. Thomas Middle School. "It was a great time," PE instructor Mary Moonen said. "We learned the line dance 'Cupid Shuffle' and all the teachers even got out there and danced. The kids like the swing the best, but a lot danced to the cha cha as well. I feel they enjoy the Valentine's Day Ball because we practice the different dances all week, so it builds their confidence to dance freely with others, and that is what social dance is all...

MUCH DIFFERENT--This past weekend we saw some sunshine and much more pleasant conditions than the last one. No white stuff, yeah! It was nice to catch a break after all the snow and rain, which led to road closures and tons of trees coming down, so a huge relief there. Many parts of the county still have plenty of water standing around however, so I'm pretty sure they are not looking for the rains to return, which should be by the time you read this. Let's hope it's not much. As this work week begins however, it's clear skies and sunshine, but...

I don’t know about you, but I certainly enjoyed that beautiful day of sunshine on Monday. My dogs were in heaven as we walked for about two hours in the woods and of course had to stop a few times so they could take a dip in all three creeks. Mice are easier to catch after the water goes down in the flooded fields, so they enjoyed quite a few snacks as well. Hopefully we will see more of that kind of weather soon. Even though I love the rain, I’m not so partial to the five inches of silt that gets deposited on my driveway, or the mess it mak...

La Niña conditions that were a big driver behind colder and wetter weather in the Columbia Basin “are no longer present” — at least over the Pacific Ocean, according to a monthly report issued February 9 by the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. Ocean waters have been warming and climate neutral conditions are emerging, and there are greater-than-even chances of an El Niño climate pattern taking hold during the second half of this year, the report states. La Niña was expected to produce cooler and wetter weather in the four-state Columbia Basin, a...
