Brian Jones of Walla Walla enjoying Spring Training with the Mariners and The Times. 1st batter got a home run for the M's....
Every year, spring sneaks up on me. February plunks along at a snail's pace, we get a few feet of snow, and I think there is plenty of time yet before spring. Then the snow melts off, and the yellow crocus are in full bloom less than a week later, and I realize I'm already behind. Every year never fails. Word to the wise; if you're planning on growing some of your veggies from seed this year, you better purchase those seeds quickly. A somewhat positive trend from the pandemic is a huge surge in...

If you've had the pleasure to walk into Locally Nourished, the coffee shop and eatery at 217 East Main Street in Dayton, you've had the opportunity to enjoy some of Danielle Barnes' kitchen expertise. She's the owner of Decadent in Dayton, one of our up-and-coming businesses. Danielle moved to Dayton in June last year, but she has known Alicia Walker, owner of Locally Nourished, for many years. The decision to make the Touchet Valley move was based on the new partnership she forged with Alicia,...
Ten Years Ago March 10, 2011 [Headline] All current council members renominated for the 2011 race It may not have brought quite as many people to town as Cycle Oregon did last year, but in the world of youth wrestling, Waitsburg hit the big time this weekend as host of a 17-team tournament that attracted close to 2,000 visitors on Saturday. Commerce along one of the state’s arteries will soon kick back into gear as major repairs to key locks on the Columbia and Snake rivers draws to completion this month. Ski Bluewood invites all guests on S...
My love for sampling the diversity of foods from around the globe is likely rooted in my multi-cultural background. As my last name implies, the ancestry from my father's family is Mexican, while on my mother's side its mostly all Irish and English. Wherein the food culture of Mexico is most strongly symbolized by corn, Ireland has the potato, ironically also a New World crop. There is much debate about who brought the first potatoes to Ireland and when, however, no one can deny the impact they...
Superintendent Mark Pickel promised students at Waitsburg Elementary a Silly String day if they met their $2,000 Jump for Heart fundraising goal. The students blew the goal out of the water, raising a grand total of $5,185.96. Colt Boudrieau was the top-raising student, raising $540. A good sport, Mr. Pickel will be silly-stringed again on March 4, so Group B students don't miss out....

Glimpses of white flashed through the heavy sagebrush as Finn dashed across the scablands. Hungarian partridge and valley quail hunkered somewhere among the sage sea, and she was working her best to locate them. A carpet of spent grasses and forbs provided ample food sources for upland birds, which were inexplicably absent from the flood-scared landscape. Circling a small basalt butte, I recalled the last flash of white being off to the left about 30-yards. Starting in that direction, my...
The African Doctor (Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont, 2016) Inspired by true events, The African Doctor is about a doctor from Zaire, who moves with his family to a small provincial village in France, in the mid-1970s. For Seyolo Zantoko, serving the villagers as their doctor provides an avenue to gain French nationality, and better opportunities for his family. The story was written by Zantoko’s son, the Hip Hop artist Kamini. It is about how the family overcame obstacles to being accepted by the villa...

I am mortified, as the daughter of a plumber, that it didn’t occur to me that watching the toilet in our newly remodeled bathroom slowly sinking to one side, was an obvious sign that it was out of plumb. The first clue that we had a problem should have been when I put a box of tissues on top of the tank and it ceremoniously slid off. The second clue was noticing the floor felt spongy as I reached to retrieve the tissues. Tilting toilet and a spongy floor, any observant person would have r...
Hunting for a classic Researching recipes often feels like traveling to me, and one of my favorite destinations to explore is Italy. Rich in history, this relatively small country is made up of 107 provinces within 20 political regions, each with distinct culinary traditions. While there is much diversity in Italian cuisine, one commonality is the practice of showcasing a few quality ingredients using simple straightforward preparations. In Italian, this dish translates to Hunter's Style...
After months of an agonizing search for a new coffee system, I finally decided to purchase the Ninja Coffee Bar. It arrived at my house last week, and we have already gotten our money’s worth out of it. I had a latte in bed on Sunday before heading out to help make 220 gallons of beer. It was wonderful! No one had to witness my ‘going to play with milled grains and hot water’ attire. The Coffee Bar has multiple settings: A classic option for the drip lovers, a rich option for those of us who n...
Early spring in 2019, just outside the City of Waitsburg, along the Touchet River from Bolles Road. After last week's heavy snowfall, blocked roads, fear of flooding from too fast snow melt, it is good to remember what we will soon be enjoying....

In February 17, I was at the local YMCA listening to Rodney Outlaw, the Executive Director of Walla Walla Music Organization (WWMO), give a lecture to his students. What started out as a flow of technical information became a cogent narrative about how a sound engineer thinks and functions. WWMO is Outlaw's program for teaching digital audio production. Then the tone of his words began to change. It became apparent to me that he was no longer lecturing but preaching. His words were now flowing...

Ten Years Ago February 24, 2011 Dayton Days will not “go dark” this year, thanks in part to the Columbia County Fair Board, but it will not likely offer any horse racing. The Washington State Horseracing Commission decided earlier this month to give only six days of racing to the four-track Class C “Bush” circuit, with all of those days going to Sun Downs in Kennewick. This news hit the Touchet Valley hard. A man who left his truck on Biscuit Ridge, near Blacksnake Road, Waitsburg, returned several weeks later to find the passenger side wi...
For me, cooking has always been about more than just sustenance alone. The foods we eat tell a story, and I am always listening. Every ingredient and technique used in modern kitchens are a daily retelling of the movement of cultures across time. Individual family histories come to life with the recipes that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Perhaps, this could be another way of interpreting the old saying, "you are what you eat." I can still remember the first time I had...
