    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Dec 26, 2019

  • Inside the matchup: Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Dec 26, 2019

    With the loss against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks need to beat the San Francisco 49ers next week in order to win the division. Unfortunately, the injuries suffered at running back this week will make that very difficult. Losing Rashaad Penny (torn ACL) against the Rams was bad enough but to lose both Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (broken arm) against the Cardinals could be too much to overcome. Since all three of the injuries are reported to be season ending, the Seahawks will need to find replacements between now and next...

  • D-W Boys Basketball loses first league game to Kittitas

    Dave Schreindl, The Times|Dec 26, 2019

    If they gave out points for hustle and hard work Dayton-Waitsburg would have won by a blowout Saturday night. Instead, the Dayton-Watisburg team dropped their first league contest of the year 56-46 to visiting Kittitas. Due to the fact that D-W was struggling with illness all week, they knew coming into the contest that they would have to outwork the other team because of an incomplete varsity roster. “I think that because we had those illnesses, we had to out hustle them because we didn’t have the depth we normally have,” Junior 6’1...

    Dave Schreindl, The Times|Dec 26, 2019

    One day after their first league game was cancelled because of illness, the Dayton-Waitsburg girls basketball team opened league play with a 57-35 home loss to Kittitas Saturday night. In the last game of the season at the Dayton gym, the girls pushed themselves to the limit and played well in the loss. The rest of D-W’s home games will be played at the Waitsburg gym. “I thought this was one of our best games yet,” Senior Captain Kira Boggs said. “No more setbacks, we’re only going up from here.” D-W Head Coach Tamira Cully also recognized...

    The Times|Dec 26, 2019

    OLYMPIA-With new research predicting that climate change will cause serious damage to Washington's environment and economy, the Washington Department of Ecology is recommending the state make deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and eliminate nearly all sources of carbon pollution by 2050.

That res...

  • Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

    Teeny McMunn, The Times|Dec 26, 2019

    I know I have posted this before but I was vacillating between a few others and this one won. A scones recipe called Christmas Scones came into my email but I think I will call it New Year’s Scones and share that one next week. Another one came in called Sweet and Sour Meatballs. Interesting mixture with sauerkraut, canned jelled cranberry, brown sugar, and spaghetti sauce. I told Joe about it and he said he had a bottle of sweet and sour sauce. Yes, but not with sauerkraut in it!! I’m sti...
