Letter to the Editor: Out social safety nets are at stake in debt ceiling talks

Former subscriber Jennifer Sandoval weighs in on the debt ceiling debate.

Enumclaw High and White River joined 14 other teams for the two-day District 3 fastpitch tournament that eventually sent six squads to the Class 2A state championships, to be played this week in Selah. Enumclaw won two games at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey and is state-bound; White River dropped two games and saw the season come to a close. In this photo, Enumclaw's Alyssa Neal is tagged out at third while trying to stretch a double into a triple; the positive note is that her hit pushed the Hornets' first run across the plate.
