Last November, the Great Salt Lake, iconic landmark of the Great Basin Desert, fell to its lowest surface elevation ever recorded. The lake had lost 73% of its water and 60% of its area. More than 800 square miles of lakebed sediments were laid bare to become dust sources laden with heavy metals.
The Washougal City Council is leaning toward having voters determine whether the city should change its form of government from mayor-council to council-manager.
Before carving the turkey Thursday, the Papermakers will still be playing football. Camas hammered Federal Way 65-32 in the state quarterfinals, at Doc Harris Stadium. After busting the door down to the Tacoma Dome, the Papermakers are ready to test themselves against defending state champion Skyline Saturday, at 1 p.m., to see if they can become the best football team in Camas history. "Everyone is thrilled to be going back to the dome, but it's also bittersweet because we know we only have a few more games left," said junior running back Nate Beasley. "This was already our last game at Doc Harris. At any moment, it could be all over. We can't look too far ahead, and we can't take these wins for granted no matter what the scoreboard says. We have to live in the present and play each play like it's our last."
