On Memorial Day, we honor our nation’s servicemembers who have given the ultimate sacrifice. We surround their families and loved ones with prayers and support. We lay flowers on memorials, make visits to monuments, and we pay tribute to their service by lowering our flags to half-mast. While it may be easy to associate Memorial Day weekend with barbecues, a day off from work or school, and the start of summer, we cannot forget that there is a reason we observe this day – and each of them have a story.

Dan Newhouse: Playing politics with prescription drugs
It is no secret that prescription drug costs are high. When we hear about medications being sold for outrageous prices, it is important to remember that they aren’t necessarily special drugs for specific treatments or rare diseases. These are medicines that treat high-cholesterol and blood pressure, epi-pens that save the lives of children and adults exposed to an allergen, and insulin that patients with diabetes depend on every day. In Central Washington, we already experience provider shortages, skyrocketing deductibles, and unaffordable premiums. We must find a way to decrease drug prices so that they do not contribute to the already inaccessible healthcare system.

Camelthorn not a good weed
Our next noxious weed has an interesting name, camelthorn (Alhagi maurorum). The name comes from the fondness camels have for eating this plant in its native range in the Middle East. If you’ve ever seen this plant, you might wonder how it could be palatable to anything; the stems are covered in long thorns!

This weed is called yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus), and as beautiful as it may seem, is listed as a noxious weed in Grant County. Though pretty, this plant can take over shorelines around lakes and can even grow so thick as to completely choke off water flow in narrow stream areas and irrigation ditches.
