By JOHN McCALLUM Editor For now, incoming Cheney Rodeo president Matt Wichman has two very simple goals. First, keep the peace among rodeo association members who are friendly people but whose passion for rodeo can often lead to some lively board meetings. Wichman's other goal is to keep the rodeo moving forward in a positive direction as it celebrates its 40th year of existence. The Eastern Washington native and longtime rodeo volunteer replaces former president Shannon Pelley, who was elected by the board in November 2006,...

“Flowers are words which even a baby can understand.” -Arthur C. Coxe Have your camera ready! Watch a youngster as they blow the down off the dandelion--(sure, they are spreading seeds, but the expression on their face is worth this experience for them).

You see a lot of these pictures at fairs, photo exhibits and in magazines—so make your own display a... Full story

After the pups had sampled it, they thought it would make a nice yard ornament. I might mention the old blanket we gave them to snuggle under when they were bab...
