I would like to acknowledge the dedication of love from a daughter to her father, Nick Psaris.

We should all be so lucky to have someone care for us during our lives and after we are gone. She put together the most meaningful funeral service I have ever attended, gave a tribute about her dad to the Gateway, tied up loose ends that he didn’t get the chance to and continues to thank everyone who touched his life.

I have watched her do these things and deal with so much more at the same time. I don’t know anyone with such emotional intelligence and big heart.

So, Rita, on behalf of your dad and those of us blessed to have you in our lives, well done and thank you.

    The students, staff and faculty at Jefferson Elementary School in Richland honored Principal Bobbi Buttars in a secret assembly for Principal's Week on Tuesday, May 21, surprising her with gifts and thanking her for her leadership.

    Counselor Susie Oram organized the assembly, keeping Buttars occupied in a meeting before having another teacher tell her that the P.E. teacher was hurt in the gym. Each grade prepared a special gift for Buttars during the assembly.

    "She's an excellent leader, but more than that, she's a very caring person, and I think that's probably why she's so successful," said Oram.
