Dear Editor, Congress is considering renewing subsidies to wind companies. It's time to end wind subsidies. BPA has been forced to pay for wind power that wasn't needed due to adequate production of hydro power which Wash- ington State does not recog- nize as a renewable energy source. How asinine!

We are very proud of the Waitsburg Ambulance Ser- vice and the volunteers that keep it going." Those words are taken from a president's letter written by Waitsburg Ambulance Service (WAS) Board...
