Lonepine bazaar begins early holiday shopping

Pickled herring inspires memories

Last week I accompanied my sister, Janna, on a shopping trip to Costco. In the interest of full disclosure, I may be one of the very few people who don’t have a Costco card or shop at the store. No particular reason except Bert and I are empty-nesters and have little desire to buy in bulk. It’s a sensory overload with aisle after aisle of things I could easily convince myself I can’t live without.

PUBLIC NOTICE The City of Royal City is accepting public comment on the potential resolution of a conversion of park land that was acquired with a state grant from the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). In 1975, the city acquired approximately 8 acres for a public park. A condition of the grant is that the property acquired be owned and managed for public outdoor recreation use. In 1994, the property was sold for non-public use which created a conversion. RCO policy permits approval of a conversion when other land of equal value and public outdoor recreation usefulness is substituted. The city is submitting a request for approval of the conversion and replace it with a similar property of equal or greater value. The City of Royal City is requesting public comment from June 5, 2018 to July 6, 2018 on the alternatives being considered. The City is considering 12 parcels east of the current City Park that is currently vacant as the conversion property. An alternative location that was considered in the past was the land south of the water treatment plant on Road F or Apple Avenue. The public may also make suggestions for land replacement properties for the city to consider. Public comment can be received or Information regarding this proposal can be received by contacting Shilo Christensen at [email protected], by visiting during business hours 445 Camelia Street Royal City WA 99357, or by letter at PO Box 1239 Royal City WA 99357.
