Michael Medved Event, Asparagus Off to Good Start, More Briefs
The event is being sponsored by Friends for Jim Keightley Sheriff.
It will be held May 15 at the Yakima Valley Hotel and Conference Center on North First Street.
The executive director of the state Asparagus Commission, Alan Schreiber, says spring weather in the mid-Columba area has been ideal with no frost.
The Tri-City Herald reports the harvest started early this month and should last into June.
There are 75 asparagus growers in Washington who harvest about 18 million pounds a years from about 5,000 acres.
Yakima County Sheriff's deputies say the first burglary was along Meadowbrook Road and the second was along South 79th Avenue. One witness told deputies the description of the car involved in the break-ins.
As deputies were responding they spotted and stopped the suspect vehicle. Deputies arrested one man and a teenage boy and took them into custody. Inside the car they found televisions, firearms and other items stolen in the burglaries.
The adult was placed in the county jail the teen was taken to juvenile hall. Both face burglary charges.
The dogs can now be used as service animals. Pit bulls used as service dogs must be registered with the city and restrained on a leash and muzzled in public.
The council voted in December to uphold a ban on pit bulls as dangerous dogs.
No injuries were reported from either fire.
