I look to the faithful in the land

He who walks in the way of perfection
shall be my friend.

At the City Council meeting on Monday night a disgusting trend has been happening at the city park...rather frequently an individual or group of people have intentionally covered the restrooms with crap. The picture they passed around was utterly disgusting.... I would like to alert our community to be aware and keep your eyes out for the perps who are doing this...it takes a lot of time for the public works people to have to go in and clean this mess up...it is more mess than one person can do by themselves....unless the perps are hauling it in with them. Allegedly this is happening after dark. There are several things the city is hoping to do to stop this, but at least we as members of this community can be watch-dogs until the additional measures can be taken. Lets catch these idiots who are ruining things for the rest of us and our visitors to our park.

Considering talking to the company to gives Internet to the Republic TV Association about the poor service that never seems to change. If anyone else is willing to come forth about issues with their Internet service it will help when I speak with the head guys. Everyone should be aware that were are being overcharged and have some of the most unstable Internet we've had in a few years. What happened to Fiber Optics making our service more stable? Because so far it's been the opposite. And again, prices are completely unjustifiable; almost laughable even. Sorry but looking at the packages- the fiber optic package should be higher speeds than what the standard Ethernet connection gives. But instead, we all are taken advantage of. Oh, not only is our latency the most unstable we've seen before, but the speeds are even very sporadic. Already did the troubleshooting to see that it wasn't our end, but rather the provider that gives us our Internet. From PC to Router there's a constant ping of under 1ms as it should be. But pinging anything else that involves the Internet, has been pretty ridiculous. So anyone feel free to personal message me any information that would support the particular case. Go do daily speed tests for a week, you'll see that things are far from stable for yourselves. You'd think after having cable Internet in Republic for many many years that people would eventually get things done right. The fact that its gone on for so long, is just an example of a job done incorrectly and being rather lazy.

Students from the Wellpinit School District paddled a canoe they carved themselves up the Spokane River last week to the foot of Little Falls Dam, reflecting on changes to the river since the era of dam building.

Fishermen from the Spokane Tribe once hauled 700 to 800 salmon per day out of the river at Little Falls, but “it’s something the students haven’t seen and their parents haven’t seen,” said Warren Seyler, an employee of the tribe’s Department of Natural Resources.

The downstream construction of Grand Coulee Dam during the 1930s blocked salmon from returning to the upper third of the Columbia River and its tributaries, including the Spokane River.
