  • Animatronic Pets Are Coming To RMC

    Jaimee Green|Aug 5, 2020

    Picture this. A dementia resident in her late 70s wakes in the middle of the night confused. She begins to frantically search in a panic for a loved one.

The nurse redirects her by placing a 'cat' in her arms and she immediately begins to pet it. Otis looks like a cat. His orange, tabby fur feels soft. He purrs, licks his paws and even rolls over for a good belly scratch. But Otis isn't...

  • Guest Opinion: Would We Defend Our Courthouse From Riots And Firebombing?

    Tom Halvorson|Aug 5, 2020

We were heard before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in one of the federal courthouses in Portland. We won a reversal in that building that saved our way of life. That is not an isolated case. I took an appeal for Richland County to defend our county revenues against...
