		<title>Why No Pool?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I still hear from people who miss having the Catlin Pool.  While it&#8217;s natural to miss something that was such a big part of so many peoples&#8217; youth, it&#8217;s pretty easy to justify the decision that was made to close it.

		<title>Update on the Kelso Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no question the last year or two have been tough economically, but the project we&#8217;ve always had as our financial salvation in Kelso was the retail development at the 432 Interchange, aka the Wye project, aka (more recently) Kelso Village.
