I almost put in a recipe for Apple Fritter Bread but wanted to make it first! For those who love Brussels sprouts, this will give you something new to do with them, those who don’t (thinking of Bill), will have to pass on it. I had the slivered almonds in the freezer as well as the bacon. I had to send Joe to the store to get Brussels sprouts (by the way, Brussels does have an s at the end. INGREDIENTS: 4 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced 6 slices bacon, chopped ½ c. slic...
Cheers to the friends and neighbors who helped watch out for their neighborhood here in Waitsburg. A vehicle most recently connected to possible drug-related activity at the Waitsburg fairground was left abandoned in front of a residence on Orchard Street. The circumstances of how it was left caused concern for those on the block. With quick action from Walla Walla Sheriffs and concerned citizens, the unlicensed and unregistered R.V. was towed and impounded, pending location of the owner. This...
WORLD WIDE WEB—Recently I watched The Social Dilemma, a documentary-drama directed by Jeff Orlowski, currently available on Netflix. The movie presents a series of interviews with Silicon Valley engineers and tech experts discussing the science behind technology addiction, surveillance capitalism, and other dangers embedded in popular social media platforms. There is also an acted and scripted story interspersed between interviews, illustrating how a family faces the effects of their social media use. The interviews are harrowing; they cover wh...

WALLA WALLA-Walla Walla native, Brandon Hallsted, wears many hats. By day he is an entrepreneur who owns Connor's Flooring and Design. As past president and current board member for ArtWalla, he's an effective leader. He has spent the last 22 years as a husband to his beloved wife, Mandy. And, this month, Hallsted dons the Combine Art Collective featured artist hat. Beginning his art years ago with sketches, pastels, and painting, Hallsted pursued technical skills that garnered him a bachelor's...
Halloween is just a few short weeks away. Now, I know that trick-or-treating is still up in the air, but I like to be prepared. Over the weekend, I taste-tested a few popular Halloween treats, so all of the adults around here know just what to buy. The first bag up for testing was the Hershey's Greatest of All Time, Miniatures. The Mini G.O.A.T bag had all the classics like KitKat bars, Milk Duds, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. This is a pretty safe option to have on hand. It even has Almond...
Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson I think it should be a “must-read” for everyone to help understand that the justice system is not equal for everyone and circumstances are different in different parts of the U.S.A. It’s the true story of a lawyer who works for a social justice type institute that takes on cases of people on death roll who were wrongly convicted, children, sentenced to life in maximum security prisons without possibilities of parole, and other...
I hate to be cliché, but, Wow! Time does fly. And, sticking with clichés, it seems like yesterday that I wrote my first article for The Waitsburg Times. It’s been a very full year, and I can now say I’ve experienced all four seasons here. My first winter was brutal. Everyone was apologetic because we were experiencing the most snow and the coldest winter in 15 years. Lucky me, what an introduction to my new home. Good heaters, gloves, great new friends, and a little scotch, I survived. That firs...
It isn’t surprising in the least that Adobe has chosen to forgo its annual Adobe MAX event in person and take the whole experience online. The novel coronavirus has made virtually everything...virtual to round out 2020. What’s exciting and surprising is the fact that they’ve made the entire event free for all. (A full conference pass was $1,295 in 2019, not including travel and hotel accommodations.) MAX is Adobe’s showcase of talent and technology, including keynote sessions, labs, musical perf...
One of my favorite comics features a genial mutt named Satchel. A recurring theme involves his housemate and nemesis, an arrogant siamese cat named Bucky, who encourages Satchel to eat (or at least swallow) anything conveniently at hand, from roadkill to small electronic appliances. The joke is that Satchel, and by extension all dogs, will give it a try, whatever the consequences. As is often the case with Cookie, her dietary choices are much more sophisticated than that. There are only a few...

The mule enthusiast has participated in team roping contests at the Hell’s Canyon Mule Days in Enterprise, Ore., and was instrumental in introducing the owners of Coyote Mule Company Dayton’s attribute as an event venue.

I didn't make this and I'm not sure I will because I'd probably eat the whole thing. Or I might make it and put it in baggies to give away, if there is enough left over to do so. I think one could use apple pie spice mix as well. I'm thinking most anything could be added or subtracted. The Harvest Mix Candy is the candy corn, pumpkin candies that are so sweet, but taste good about this time of year. INGREDIENTS: 4 c. Rice Chex cereal 3 c. mini pretzel twists 3 c. Bugles 1 c. dry roasted peanuts ½ Reese's candies ½ c. M & M c...

Burbank Adult female reported she found a previously stolen firearm. Waitsburg...
Books are magical treasure troves of knowledge and art. Academics love books. It makes sense that places of study such as colleges and universities would house libraries of rare collections. The University of Washington's Bhutan book, for example, is a massive seven-foot by five-foot behemoth. This thing weighs 133 pounds and took an entire 24 hours to print. As a former Guinness Book of World's Records holder, Bhutan, at its mammoth scale, offers landscapes as big as windows and life-size...
I am not, nor have I ever been accused of being a “romantic.” Even as a young girl, I didn’t fantasize about wearing a big white poufy wedding dress, or a white knight charming and romancing me. It had nothing to do with being levelheaded; I was just more enthralled with action, adventure, and getting dirty. My sister, brother, and I have all been married twice, and none of us opted for big parties or over-the-top events. We had small weddings at home, except my last one to Daniel; we elope...
Woke, Project Power, and Dora the Explorer: Lost City of Gold Woke [TVMA] Hulu Keef is an African-American cartoonist on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changes his life. The more Keef confronts his revelations, the more he puts his career’s success in jeopardy. Keef, the cartoonist, and his pen draw more than conclusions. Episodes are about a half-hour in length and meet at the intersection of social awareness and comedy. Dora the Explorer & the Lost City of Gold [PG...
I am not a big fan of nature documentaries. Being an animal lover, I cringe at the depiction of the food chain in cinematic realness. Like the unnamed Star Trek crewmembers chosen to beam to a planet, my favorite characters are always first to be killed off. It takes a lot for me to make an exception. Based on the recommendation of my brother-in-law, an avid snorkeler, I gave this movie a chance. I am so glad I did. Not that it doesn’t have sharks and all that that implies. There is a real t...
Ten Years Ago September 23, 2010 [Photo caption] Dog handler Ann Moser from Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue and her Giant Schnauzer Watson examine Bob Bulota's cabin in Starbuck for scents. [Photo caption] Cycle Oregon brought 2,250 cyclists to Waitsburg last week. Most of them camped, dined, showered, and nurtured their equipment at the city's fairgrounds. Resembling a modern version of a Roman encampment, the gathering was by far one of the largest in the town's history, easily tripling the...
Don’t be turned off by the list of ingredients. This goes together quickly. It had a five-star rating and we really liked it. Since rice takes 20 minutes, get that started first. I got the ingredients for the sauce ready to go. Once the garlic is sautéed, the rest of the ingredients are added and it quickly thickens, in about four minutes. The frying of the chicken is a little more time consuming but the wider the pan, the more you can fry at one time. Add it to the sauce and serve with the ri...
Before the smoke settled last Friday, Waitsburg-resident Jule Keller headed out to mow her lawn, but stopped when she heard 'Amazing Grace' being performed by Wyatt Bohlman on his trumpet. The song was a nod to those lost in the attacks on 9/11/2001. Keller writes: 'At around 11 a.m. this morning I was going to mow my lawn but stopped because I heard my neighbor's son playing Amazing Grace on his trumpet to honor those lost on this day in 2001. I did not start my lawnmower and just stood to...

Jeromy Phinney, Chief of Columbia County Fire District 3, is a good man to have a conversation with right now. He's cool as a cucumber, with a large framed photo of John Wayne on the wall beside his desk. He has the confidence you want in a fire chief while wildfires rage around the Pacific Northwest. "Everything's dry, and dry conditions happen every year. It's nothing new," he said. "But yeah, this summer has been tough." Twenty-one years ago, Jeromy Phinney was a kid fresh out of college. He'...
WORLD WIDE WEB-By now, you might've seen a certain viral video floating around the web. Or perhaps not, it's a big internet world out there. The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company posted a video to their Instagram feed of grilled sunflowers. By the end of this quick tutorial style video, the sunflower is taken in hand and eaten like corn on the cob. Sunflower seeds are a popular snack, sure, but this isn't that. The edible part is the head. It broke my brain a little. The video says to pick a...
