Skamania County's community garden, at the fairgrounds, is in full bloom right now. Tomatoes are ripening on the vine and summer flowers are blooming brightly.

The community Garden could not have been possible without the following: A generous lumber donation from SDS Lumber, Tim O'Mahoney for his time and giving to every aspect of the building, Scott Pineo and the staff at Facilities and Recreation for all their time and support, Commissioner Tolfree who has helped support all phases, along with the hard work from Skamania County Public Outreach Program(SCPOP'ers) youth board members who gave their time and energy to builing the raised beds. Stevenson High School Students who helped fill the plots, and painted the storage shed to match beautifully with the exhibit hall at the fairgrounds during community service day.A special thanks to the Garden Committee members, WSU/Extension Agent (Todd Murray) for sharing his knowledge with the people who have rented plots making this a very successful and beautiful garden!

The Small-Mart Revolution Comes to White Salmon

2008-04-03T21:19:00.000-07:00

Michael H. Shuman, author of The Small-Mart Revolution, will speak about how we can build prosperity here at home on April 15, 2008 from 9:30am to 4:00pm Grace Baptist Church, 1280 W. Jewett Blvd in White Salmon.

Here is a quote from his blog, to get you interested:

In honor of April 1st... here's an actual quote from National Public Radio on March 12: Just after the NY Governor admitted that he had paid an estimated $80,000 for repeated dalliances with a high-priced hooker in Washington, DC, "Morning Edition" asked a madam of an escort service in Albany for her reactions. Even she was furious: "They're always talking about losing business in New York and business going to other states. It seems like he would have kept the business in New York State somewhere!"

Winter Comes to Skamania County - With a Thud

2008-01-15T23:14:00.000-08:00

Winter recently arrived with several incredible snowstorms. But here in Skamania county we just brush that off and have fun in the snow. We recently went cross-country skiing at Old Man Pass. We think it has the best ski trails we know. You can practically have the mountain to yourself any weekday, and since skiing here is free except for the parking permit, it is affordable. Hope to see you!

We Have Leadership Plenty

2007-04-12T21:50:00.000-07:00

Three county residents, Carmen Herrera, Lynea Moats and Bill Brueggemeyer were among the statewide leaders at a conference in Moses Lake this past week. The Horizons Project and Washington State University gathered leaders from across the state to learn and train in building communities in rural Washington. The theme of the conference was Leadership Plenty, with trainers stating that we have plenty of leaders, we simply need to find them.

Carmen and Lynea were in the Leadership track, Bill was in the public relations track. They intend to come back to the county and working to make Skamania Township a thriving community, and to attempt to eradicate poverty.
