important to her.
The same day Mr. Jenson’s
letter came out, ground was
being broken for a new thirty
thousand seat concert hall,
paid for by business and gov
ernment. Where? Not here in
Columbia County, but right
across the river in Ridgefield,
WA. So, unfortunately, we
won’t even get our “Cocaine
Cowboy concerts, with cheap
wine and cigarettes, a couple of
nights each year” as you said,
Mr. Jenson.
But, hopefully, we’ll get a
new* County Commissioner in
November.

al they dispose of. On that note,
I would like to give a sincere
thank you to the residents who
purchased home compost bins
from Columbia County. We soid
a generous 150 bins to local
residents. That means almost
477,000 pounds of organic
debris will be home composted
and diverted from our local
landfill, based on the average
family producing about 3,180
pounds of organic garbage per
year. The composting bins play
an important role in reducing
the amount of organic waste
going to our landfills. The home
composting effort is invaluable
in promoting waste reduction
and, more importantly, instilling
the value and need for waste
reduction among our local resi
dents.
Thank you again, Columbia
County Residents, for your par
ticipation.
