The meeting, which nearly 80 people attended, provided citi- zens with a clearer understand- ing about why they are experi- encing slow Internet speeds or can’t get service.

COMMENTARY: Hills and Valleys Sometimes Adults Also Get Spring Break The kiddos were out of school this week, and with the bless- ing of all the proper authority figures, I took a few days of vaca- tion as well. Entering springtime and spring break energized the child within and the adult I still aspire to become. Our adventure began with the emerging tulips at DeGoede Bulb Farm & Gardens on Klickitat Prairie. Highway 12 heading east into Mossyrock glows with the color of thousands (mil- lions?) of these gorgeous springtime flowers. We’re far above sea level, but the spirit of the Dutch is alive and well in the little farm that Hank DeGoede and family have built over the last 40 years. I arrived to find that the good folks of Discover Lewis County were already there, tweeting and facebooking out pho- tos and videos of the supple beauty found in these well-kept fields. The photos had already been shared dozens of times by the time I ar- rived. As with any trip into the heart of Lewis County, there were good friends aplenty. My kids scampered among the flowers as I con- nected with some of the quality people who make this such a great place to live. The kids and I then turned into the tunnel By Brian Mittge that runs underneath Highway 12, connecting Letters the north and south DeGoede field, headed toward a Spanish-style chapel alongside the flower beds.

Golf Spieth Hangs on to Masters Lead, But Just Barely By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jordan Spieth set a Masters record on Friday by leading the tourna- ment for the sixth straight round. He sure didn’t seem to be in a mood to celebrate. Spieth led by as many as five shots after a fast start, and then, just like everyone else on this wickedly windy day, he had to hang on for dear life. Spieth holed a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 2-over 74 that gave him a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy. “I’m still in the lead. I couldn’t ask for much better than lead- ing,” Spieth said. “I’m a bit disap- pointed right now, fresh off the round. Two over on the last three holes will leave you that way.” McIlroy, who needs a green jacket to complete the , played the last six holes in 3 under for a 71 to match the low round of the day. Conditions were so brutal that it was the first time since the third round in 2007 that no one broke 70. “I know I’m in a good position going into the weekend,” McIlroy said. “And I’m happy with that.” The prospects of Spieth and McIlroy in the final group at any major, much less the Masters, is tantalizing.
