Eastern Adams County's Only Independent Voice Since 1887
A photo from 25 years ago - THE WASHTUCNA FBLA service organization is conducting a landscaping project which will enhance the beauty of the surrounding school grounds. Working with the fifth and sixth grade students, the FBLA encourages them to become involved in community pride and appreciate the outcome of the project. Last fall, with the cooperation of the fifth and sixth grades, the FBLA pulled weeds around the handicap access ramp. They prepared the ground for planting the bushes and shrubs that were donated by community members. They will continue to clean up and plant greenery around the main entrance of the school through the month of March.

DETACHMENT OF THE YEAR
honors have been placed on the Ritzville detachment of the Washington State Patrol for the 1995 year. The award was presented on the basis of community involvement, drug interdiction activity, auto theft activity and other major criminal investigations during the year. The selection was made from 13 detachments in eight eastern Washington counties by the district command staff. The win also puts the detachment in contention for State Detachment of the Year. That selection will be made in the near future by administrative staff in Olympia. This is the fourth time the Ritzville detachment has won this award.
