Prosser football fans asked to wear pink tonight
PROSSER -- Think pink for tonight's Mustang football game.
Prosser High School's dance and drill team is asking spectators at the Prosser-Ephrata football game to wear pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.
Players will be doing it, too, wearing pink shoelaces and socks.
Pink is the latest football fashion color. National Football League teams this month have been wearing uniforms with pink trim, pink gloves and pink hats to support the same cause.
Prosser dance and drill team members will be selling pink T-shirts today to raise money for breast cancer research and education foundations, with the help of Prosser Memorial Hospital.
For more information, call the high school at 509-786-1224.

Bike repair group, 'Lucky 7,' gets rolling in Sunnyside
SUNNYSIDE -- A group of volunteers trying to reduce gang involvement has started a bicycle repair and maintenance program for kids.
Called Lucky 7 Bikes, the program will salvage discarded bikes and use them for parts and repairs. Kids ages 9 to 18 will pick a bicycle out, restore it under the guidance of a volunteer and contribute at least five hours of work toward the program.
They then get to pedal away on their bike.
Volunteers are working out of a building at Grace Brethren Church on South Seventh Street.
The program will run from 5-8 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.
Volunteers are needed and organizers welcome donations of cash, tools, bikes and bike stands.
For more information, call Sunnyside's Promise at 509-643-4262.
