When Juniper Kerr was in middle school, her basketball coach kept saying, "Every shot not taken is a shot missed." It stuck with her. But it's not just about basketball now; it's about life and her love of taking pictures. I've been noticing her stuff and wanted to sit down and chat with her. I'm glad I did. First, she started very young. "When I was four years old, my mom helped me start my first business selling my pictures on cards at the Bellingham Farmer's Market," she said. And she never...
At this point in history, color theory has established a well-documented dialogue. Various studies of human psychology note that the color yellow may elicit feelings of comfort, while red tends to make people hungry or impulsive. Marketing experts refer to the pairing of red and yellow as the Ketchup and Mustard Theory. Green and earthy tones are sometimes used to convey a message of healthiness and environmental responsibility. One might feel moody looking at the ocean's deep blues or soothed...
We returned from our brief trip to Los Angeles, and although I am glad to be home, I did discover that there are still some things I miss. Los Angeles is one of those places where people can go to reinvent themselves, hideout, wait to be discovered for a starring role in a blockbuster feature film, or like me; rediscover some of the things I miss. First on my list, of course, my friends, then sushi and outdoor tennis year-round, but I rediscovered other aspects of the city that I miss as well....
WALLA WALLA-In addition to its roster of 18 membership artists, Combine Art Collective (CAC) has assembled a septet of guest artists for their annual holiday showcase. The Guest Artists Times Seven exhibit features seven artists who present ethereal works in various textures, shapes, and sizes. Jeweler Anne Lindsay returns with a new collection. Along the lines of jewelry, Sandra Simonson creates geological masterpieces from plain stones made to shine with their unique presentation. Needle...
It’s a wet and windy afternoon in early November. I’m sprawled out on the sofa, and between my legs is a small blonde dog, flat on her back, legs up, ball in mouth, sound asleep. It occurs to me that this sort of blissed-out relaxation is one of the many things that dogs do differently than cats. Cats like to stretch, yawn, spread out, and chill, but at all times, they look poised, elegant, even regal. Dogs, on the other hand, look like they’ve just come home from an especially good kegge...
1. Don’t let anyone steal your joy. Not COVID-19, not relatives, not an illness, not work or family stress, not any circumstances. Your attitude creates your reality. Choose to be happy, to be thankful, and to value life! 2.Take care of your health Self-care means listening to your inner needs and making choices to improve daily functions through a healthy diet, water, exercise, positive communication, and social support. 3. Plan Ahead Much stress can be eliminated by making a plan. You c...
Ten Years Ago November 18, 2010 Less than a month after Ski Bluewood was rescued for local winter recreation, a much-beloved summer spot in the area appears to be in jeopardy. During the past several weeks, the operator and leaseholders of Lyons Ferry Park on the Snake River have all given notice to terminate their respective agreements, saying they can no longer afford to subsidize the money-losing facility. Nine Valley players make All League: Bickelhaupt, Sunderland, Armstrong, Zack Bartlow, Brock, Dady, Jeff Bartlow, Brannock and Hofer. Dog...
I put this in last year about this time. At the time I had not made it, but it is very good!! Wes L. my friend who is always encouraging, said even the kids liked this when they made it for Thanksgiving. So this is a repost of last year’s recipe. Does your Thanksgiving always include sweet potatoes? Is it the recipe with the marshmallows on top? This sounds really good. I read the reviews and I’m glad I did. It was given a 5 star rating which is as good as it gets. First, the recipe says to bake the sweet potatoes and split them like a bak...
DAYTON-You can easily estimate the time it takes to machine quilt a piece of functional art, but who counts the hours of piecing it together? Or the love stitched into it? On a recent chat with Wendy Frame, of Dayton, she showed me two quilts brought to her by clients of her longarm quilting business, The Quilting Frame. "A customer found this quilt her mother had pieced during the 1930s," she said, referring to the project he was quilting during my visit. "She didn't know she had it. It was...

Ten Years Ago November 11, 2010 My husband’s grandfather, Dr. Rufus Butler, was a “horse and buggy doctor” in Waitsburg for 39 years. According to an article in the Times’ in 1950, he was one of the last settlers to recall log cabins, hardships, and pioneer love of the Northwest. Columbia REA, Pastor Steve Edwards, Theater Manager Reid Helford and Singer Cougar Henderson were winners of this year’s Community Awards given out at the Dayton Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Banquet. They won their recognition for Business of the Year, Citizen of...
This came into my email so I thought I’d share. I didn’t make it. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food. I am trying not to put in only those recipes that appeal to me, which is why not many with sour cream or cream cheese get into the paper. And I like when readers send me their recipes. So if you make it or tweak it, let me know please. It does have 5 stars, if that helps. I appreciate those who let me know they tried a recipe and those who share what they did differently. INGREDIENTS: 2 tsp olive oil ½ c. onion, diced 2 stalks celery, sliced...
In last week’s edition, the Apples from the Past article mistakenly referred to LZ Conover as ‘the late LZ Conover.’ At 92 years young, LZ is alive and well, and still living at home!...

Turning down Lewis Gulch, I spied a beautiful draw curling into the wheat fields, free of human track. A sight for sore eyes on the eastern Washington pheasant opener. Whipping the Tundra to the shoulder and throwing her in "park," we finally had something to look forward to. Deciding to try something new this year, I quickly re-learned that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We had left home at 5 a.m. Four hours hence, we had yet to put boots on the ground for lack of room in the bird covers....
Free resources WORLD WIDE WEB-For Halloween, we thought it would be fun to watch the scary-not-scary movie Pulse. In it, Maddie (Kristen Bell) is startled to find that her recently deceased boyfriend is still sending her messages via email and text message. This film might be a new classic for its depiction of technology novel at the time. All the characters carry flip phones, mobile devices around after pagers but before sophisticated camera lenses were added to the mix. Voice and text messages...
Once again, I say “thank you” to the parents of Waitsburg. Your children made Halloween a much-needed fun evening during these challenging times. The kids were cute and always said, “thank you” for their treats. Even some of the younger ones didn’t require additional prompting from their parents. I apologize in advance for filling their bags with more candy than usual, and your upcoming struggles with the inevitable day-after sugar rush, and your future dental bills. I thought since they didn’t...
Ten Years Ago November 4, 2010 With 60 percent of the vote counted Tuesday evening, Walla Walla County Sheriff’s candidate John Turner was well on his way to victory over Bill White. Army Private Ryan W. Timms, a 2010 Waitsburg High School grad, has graduated from basic infantry training at Fort Benning, Columbus, Georgia. Hosted by music director Brad Green of Waitsburg, regional Mass Band drew student musicians and directors from 12 schools, including two flute soloists from Dayton and Waitsburg.

These were sent to me by Bill Rodgers. The same guy who gifts us with great photography and shares his abundance of unique irises. Bill had brought over a salad for us who stay late on Tuesdays to get the paper out. When I tasted the Roquefort dressing, I knew right away this was not a bottled dressing. It was the difference between homemade bread and store bought bread, the difference between greenhouse tomatoes and vine picked tomatoes. I asked him to share. These amounts are for 4 -6 servings, approximately. Roquefort Dressing 2 tsp Saco...
This week was somewhat sad reading about the spread of COVID-19. It will make the holidays a very different experience this year, and not in a good way. But then I remembered a plaque a former boss had in his office. It read: “Not all the bad things happen.” In the past, when something annoying, problematic, or unexpected happened to me or someone close to me, my usual knee jerk reaction was to panic. Maybe it is maturity or maybe just exhaustion, but now I’m not going crazy about the little thi...
My recent visit with Starbuck's new Mayor, Zonia Dedloff, was a revelation for me. First thing I learned: she has lived there for 50 years. She and her late husband, Jerry, parked a trailer here in the late 1960s, along with many others, to work on building the Little Goose Dam. Jerry, a diamond driller, was one of many who traveled the U.S., following jobs like this. "It really was one long vacation," she said of those years. The dam work temporarily swelled the little hamlet's population....
As every dog owner knows, we can learn as much or more from our fur brothers and sisters as they learn from us. It’s often noted how some of us actually come to physically resemble our dogs. But there are other ways in which dog and owner can mirror each other. As Cookie reached a birthday milestone this summer – turning 10 in human years, which brought her right up against retirement age in dog years – it became clear to us that she is entering the same stage of life that we are in. She’s...
