Ponder the possibilities of pineapple

Native to South America, pineapples get their name from the Spanish word “piña,” meaning “pinecone.” Actually, it’s not one fruit, but a few hundred fruitlets fused together. Natives moved cultivation northward to other warm regions, and they were found by the same explorers who claimed the Americas back in 1492. Pineapple became a good keeping fruit source used by sailors who used it to battle scurvy. While Hawaii was once a big producer of the fruit, today the bulk of the world’s pineapples come from Southeast Asia, Thailand being the biggest producer.

Donovan and Ochoa have been good for Moses Lake schools

I support the re-election of Kevin Donovan and Oscar Ochoa as Moses Lake School Directors. Both are effective, knowledgeable and committed to creating the best schools possible. Kevin, an established businessman in our community, has overseen the budgets and expenditures so well the district, after years of trying, exceeded its goal of 8.8 percent cash reserves for the last three years. This reserve helped the district receive a high bond rating, which reduces the interest on bonds sold for school construction. At the same time, the district, under tremendous growth pressure, has, again during Kevin’s time, constructed two new elementary schools, a transportation center, the tech center, a building to house the swimming pool and a warehouse facility. All were on time and under budget, unusual in the best of circumstances. The final two were funded because of strong fiscal management of the first buildings on that list. Kevin understands the incredibly difficult school funding and budgeting process.

Goodrich would be a welcome change on school board

Elliott Goodrich will be a good steward of the taxpayers’ money for Moses Lake schools. He has years of experience planning for and operating a large farming operation. He understands that problems can often be solved without paying out a lot more money. His approach is to study a problem carefully and come to a decision which promises the most success. He then becomes an advocate for that position, exploring its potential as a solution with others, making refinements as needed. He seeks consensus through persuasion and common sense — a marked contrast to the current method used by the school administration which seems to be endless forums to determine which way the wind is blowing. Mr. Goodrich offers leadership qualities we haven’t had.

Melcher, Goodrich good choices for school board

I am a former school board member who proudly served our community for ten years from 1979–89. School Board members are elected to oversee school management to ensure that our students get the best education possible and that our money is spent wisely. After observing our current board for many years, I feel that they are in need of members with some new fresh ideas. Our community has been divided, over the years, with the talk of building new schools. We all want our kids to have the best education and with financial decisions impacting us we need people who will ask hard questions of school management about how money is being spent. They need to take time to research and talk to staff to find out what is happening in the schools. Be open to ideas from the community and not promote their own agenda. Our district is the largest business in Moses Lake. We need leaders that know how to successfully run a business and bring this community together.

The big 3 instructions to the Christian Church

I think that we can all agree that this world we live in is full of: strife, turmoil, and conflict. This being more evident than ever given the recent events. The unfairness in the world brings about a sense of justice. In other words, a desire to do something about the troubles of the world. We can’t get away from this, it’s a part of our human nature. No matter: what walk of life we come from, our political leanings, or the church we attend; we can all come together as believers to make a difference in this world. How we can do this is outlined through three instructions the apostle Paul made to the Roman church in Romans 12:12.
