To the editor — Three years in and we still are hobbled by mandated pandemic rules, some of which make absolutely no sense. For example, for a dental appointment you are required to wear your mask for all of 120 seconds — OK, make it 240 seconds — when you walk in to the office. Then you are maskless for 45 minutes while sitting with your mouth wide open getting your teeth cleaned.

The holiday weekend is around the corner and many people will be looking to cool off by going to area lakes rivers and streams.

The life jackets are available at two locations: Yakima Fire Department Fire Station 93, 511 N. 40th Avenue; and Yakima Fire Department Fire Station 92, 7707 Tieton Drive.

Two fires kept Yakima Fire Department Firefighters busy Wednesday night and Thursday morning. No injuries were reported but fire officials say all total the fires caused upwards of $200,000 in damage. A press release from the Yakima Fire Department says firefighters were called to a home fire in the 500 block of 32nd Avenue at about 5:00 pm Wednesday. Arriving crews found smoke coming from the eaves on multiple sides of the home where an air fryer apparently malfunctioned. They say so much smoke filled the interior that there was zero visibility. Two people in the home were able to escape with injuries. The American Red Cross is now helping since the home was so badly damaged. Damage is estimated at $125,000.

To the editor — Friday's ruling was a shock, but it certainly is not the final word. While Roe v. Wade guaranteed reproductive choice, reversing Roe v. Wade guarantees that women in nearly half the states in America will not have a choice. That's the difference. Roe didn't force anyone to do anything. Taking away the right to safe, reproductive care does.
