  • Innovative Mermaid at Liberty Theater

    The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    DAYTON-This year's fall musical at the Liberty Theater is Disney's "The Little Mermaid," a story familiar to many of us from two Disney movies and the older, original fairy tale. It's the story of a young woman growing up, following her dream, and finding herself. It's also the story of a loving parent learning to understand who their child has become and letting them go into the world. And finally, it's the story of two families with different cultures learning to accept each other as their...

  • Waitsburg Lions Club (WLC)

    Mike Ferrians, The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    If the vision that launched Lions Club International (LCI) in 1917 still applies to local Lions Clubs across America, it surely applies to the Waitsburg Lions Club. Formed in 1940 as a chapter of LCI, Waitsburg's Lions have been a stable element of social life and community service for 83 years, something not to be taken for granted. The club and others, including the Freemasons, Eastern Star, Philanthropic Educational Organization (P.E.O.), and Kiwanis, support community life and friendship,...

    The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    If the vision that launched Lions Club International (LCI) in 1917 still applies to local Lions Clubs across America, it surely applies to the Waitsburg Lions Club. Formed in 1940 as a chapter of LCI, Waitsburg’s Lions have been a stable element of social life and community service for 83 years, something not to be taken for granted. The club and others, including the Freemasons, Eastern Star, Philanthropic Educational Organization (P.E.O.), and Kiwanis, support community life and friendship, provide service and aid where needed, encourage c...

    The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    Florence Stella Delp passed away Tuesday, October 24, 2023. She was born on March 4, 1936, to Jacob Richard and Susan Mace Scarbrough. Because her parents spent many summers working for the U.S. Forest Service, Florence and her sisters, Joan and Carolyn, spent many memorable years with their grandparents, Joe and Stella Mace. Florence loved sharing the many adventures of her sisters and cousins growing up on Grouse Flats. She also enjoyed remembering the many guard stations at which she stayed...

  • Times Travelers

    The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    Genie and Fred Crowe just returned from two weeks in Vietnam. "A Wonderful trip, lovely people, beautiful country, fantastic food.... Attached is a pic of us holding up the W Times, in front of the Temple of Literature in Hanoi," wrote Fred....

  • Boot Leather Wins Wild Birds

    Brad Trumbo, The times|Nov 2, 2023

    It's an utter fact, proven time and again, particularly in a state like Washington: wild birds in the vest are won with "boot leather," so to speak. Even in a spectacular wild bird year, by December, pheasants are scarce in the public covers of the Palouse. Private lands with the right mix of food and cover harbor dozens of pheasants as they congregate during cold weather. But rest assured, the remainder of the roosters are seasoned escape artists, skittish as hell and alive, thanks to their...

  • King Estate 2022 Pinot Gris

    Paul Gregutt, The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    King Estate was founded specifically to grow and produce Pinot Gris. Now entirely biodynamic, the winery has grown to become one of Oregon's most diverse and influential. Pinot Gris remains a strong suit, with up to seven different versions in a single vintage – probably as much as the rest of Oregon combined. It's almost iconic, with full, fleshy pear fruit, buoyant acids, and a mouth-pleasing texture. Green apple, cucumber, and grapefruit highlights follow. This is the most widely available b...

    Karen Huwe, The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    WAITSBURG - Seniors Alyssa Segraves, Kylee Henry, Makenna Barron and Peyton Struckmeier were recognized before playing their last game of the season at home against St. John-Endicott (SJE) on Thursday, October 26. In the first set of the match, SJE started the game serving an ace. Waitsburg battled back and tied the game at 5-5 on a kill by Struckmeier. Errors receiving serves and digs put the Cardinals behind 5-19. A couple of stuff blocks by Struckmeier rallied the team to 9-21 before losing...

  • PIONEER PORTRAITS

    The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    Ten Years Ago October 31, 2013 In spite of the defection of the opposing team's coach to their team, the WP Alumni Team was no match for the Lady Cards at Thursday night's Homecoming game. Youth won out over experience with the younger ladies winning the game in a three-set match. Spirits were high as fans – some unsure of which team to root for – filled the bleachers. The flag was lowered, and Mikala Deruwe transfixed the crowd by singing a stirring rendition of the National Anthem. Amidst che...

  • Red Wine Beef Stew

    Luke Chavez, The Times|Nov 2, 2023

    An abrupt change in the season arrived this past week and with it our first hard frost. Since then, all I have wanted to do is wear sweaters, listen to true-crime podcasts, and gently simmer things on the stove. Ah, fall. Braised in a rich wine broth spiced with cloves and fresh herbs, this tender beef stew is a perfect warm-up on a cold autumn night. Easy to prepare, this recipe is delightful both for a cozy family supper or an elegant dinner party to impress. Ingredients: 4 pounds lean,...
