Flood relief politics still at high mark

On the heels of a heated back and forth between state Democrats and Dino Rossi over Lewis County flood relief policies in the last week, the bickering continues today on the pages of The Olympian. In an editorial today, the newspaper highlighted the relief funding efforts by three Democratic legislators in the 22nd District, Sen. Karen Fraser (D-Thurston County), Rep. Sam Hunt (D-Olympia) and Rep. Brendan Williams (D-Olympia).

The article also points out that Rep. Hunt is "quick to note that although his Republican colleagues in the 20th District of Thurston County-Sen. Dan Swecker (R-Rochester), and Reps. Gary Alexander ( R-Olympia), and Richard DeBolt, (R-Chehalis)-want to take credit for the flooding dollars, all three voted against the budget that contained the money."

That part did not sit well with Rep. Alexander, who met with the editorial board today to stick up for himself.

"To really minimize the 20th District because of the operating budget is totally false," Alexander said. "First of all because only one of the 22nd District members ever came down, came to any of the meetings in the flood area, and that was Karen (Fraser). We never saw Sam or Brendan (Williams) at all. Nobody got their hands dirty down there form the 22nd District. Nobody helped move hay. Nobody came to look at the devastation. Nobody came to meet with the community when they were so upset and wanted to have a voice in the process other than Dan and Richard and myself."

In the Democrats video from last week, where they bemoaned the use of politics to exploit flood victims, both Swecker and Alexander are shown rejecting the same tactics. Apparently Hunt and Alexander did not get the memo.

Best Prom Dress Prom night is


Best Prom Dress

Prom night is the most exciting night of high school life-and the most looked forward to. It is the night for dressing up in your best attire and creating an impression that would last as long as your childhood memories. Dressing up for the prom night is every girl's dream.

Prom Dresses are generally formal party gowns, long and delicately stunning. Prom dresses may be based on the theme of the party or they can just be traditional ball gowns. There is no conventional way to define the “best Prom Dress”. It is the one that would make you feel beautiful and convey the right image-sweet, innocent, sexy or simply stunning. The most popular prom dresses are satin, sequined, vintage fashions, the little black Prom Dresses, the asymmetrical hem dress, the hanky hem and the classic Cinderella ball gown.

Prom Dresses can be bought directly from retail stores or they can be painstakingly and lovingly designed for the best effect. Since it is the last formal occasion in school, most people would not hesitate to spend a bit more on the Prom Dresses. Prom dresses can also be designed professionally to suit the exact body type and measurements. It is very important that the dress fits perfectly. For achieving this, get the exact measurements of your body, especially the bust, waist and hips. You don't have to be a perfect size 10 to look beautiful. There is a dress available for every body from A-type to hourglass.

Color plays a part in the big night, too. Find one that compliments your coloring choosing from slimming muted shades like deep gray, wine, forest green, burgundy, midnight blue and cocoa or choose neutral colors like silver, black, gray, beige, gold and taupe for a flattering look. Long straight cuts and vertical patterns also make the wearer look slim and sexy. The material should skim the body. Clingy material accentuates fuller figures. Also pay attention to accessories since they complete your look.

There are several online outlets that provide beautiful Prom Dresses. These websites also provide information about choosing the right kind of Prom Dress and also help to design one. These include dresses from popular designers like Jovani, Riva, Alyce, Mori Lee, Cassandra, Je Matadi, Tiffany and Celebrity.
