Chipman trail to be spot-sprayed with herbicide
The Bill Chipman Palouse Trail between Moscow and Pullman will be spot-sprayed for noxious weeds Monday through June 6. Precise times and days of herbicide application will be determined based on weather conditions.
Areas will be clearly posted with signs during spray work. Trail users should be aware of the spraying and those with a greater sensitivity to chemicals may decide to avoid the trail during this time.
Those seeking additional information may contact the Whitman County Parks Department at (509) 397-6238.

Accuracy Matters
The Moscow Police Department withdrew its funding request last summer for a drug-sniffing dog for the fiscal 2019-20 budget, which started Oct. 1, after concerns expressed by some city councilors and residents.
A story on Page 1A of Thursday’s Daily News incorrectly stated the Moscow City Council denied the drug dog funding. The council discussed the drug dog during a budget workshop but the police department withdrew its drug dog request from its proposed budget before the council approved the entire city budget.
