Ten Years Ago March 31, 2011 Sheriff John Turner doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The Walla Walla County’s new top law-enforcement official is thrilled he can make adjustments to the patrol schedule that provides 24/7 coverage is his jurisdiction. He’s pleased some members of his new team bring many years of law enforcement experience they can use to offer in-house training to his deputies. At the same time, Turner is deeply concerned that his budget is being cut. [Photo caption] Leroy Cunningham, founder of Rural Green Youth Enter...
I wasn't sure what I was going to put in this week. Needless to say we could use some comfort food and this falls into that category. I have fond memories of bread pudding. Gramma Yonkie made it often and it was mentioned by several at her funeral. She saved any old cookies, dry donuts, stale bread, and it would go into the bread pudding. Always there was cinnamon and raisins, but each one took on a different flavor. I haven't made it yet, but I think I will buy some French bread, cut it thick,...

Ten Years Ago March 24, 2011 During the past several years, all has been relatively quiet on the meth front. But in recent months, it appears that local production and consumption of the drug are back on the rise, according to law enforcement officials in Walla Walla and Columbia counties. It was like a scene from the Sherwood Forest. Men, women, and children tromped through the woods carrying bows and quivers filled with arrows, but this wasn’t Robin Hood and his band, nor was it Merry Auld England in the 12th century. [Photo caption] T...
If this sounds familiar, I shared it a few years ago. It was what came to mind Saturday morning while looking at the bright snow outside. Weekend mornings have more time to fuss with breakfast, or maybe your breakfast comes later in the day. These are hardy, flavorful pancakes. The cardamom gives it an extra touch. If you don't have any and would like to try the recipe, let me know. I have plenty. Peanut butter or no peanut butter? I didn't realize that pancakes could be controversial! Of...

Have you ever had a song grab you by the ears? I remember the moment I first heard the North Carolina group The Avett Brothers, (TAB) on a dark Thursday night in November listening to DJ Greg Vandy's (online) radio show The Roadhouse on kexp.org. Featuring traditional bluegrass instrumentation, with an undercurrent of punk energy, the song was "Shame" from the Avett Brothers fifth independent release, Emotionalism. It had a propulsive beat and haunting lyrics and was located firmly in my...
Money and time. Most people wish they had more of both. Rare is the person who feels they have adequate amounts of each. But as important and necessary as money and time are, there are two elements that are just as, or even more important-two elements that we simply can't get too much of: Hope and encouragement. Watercolor painter Shawna Wright focuses on these two elements in her paintings. The Milton-Freewater, Ore., artist, who began seriously painting five years ago, creates watercolor...
Ten Years Ago March 17, 2011 •[Photo caption] The months-long logistical project for the components of the Lower Snake River Wind Energy Project in Garfield County has begun. Here, a transport of a nacelle makes its way through Waitsburg on Highway 12. It’s the part that sits behind the three blades and hub, and generates the electricity from the mill’s rotation. In all, truckers are making nearly 1,192 trips to bring the major components for 149 towers to their construction sites in Garfield County and will be coming through the Touchet Valle...
Joe fixed this for dinner and it is surprisingly easy and surprisingly good. A little bit of chopping and it's ready to go. The ingredients are simple and what we mostly had on hand. (I had to get some apples) We had a butternut squash from the summer bounty that needed to be used. We used 3 bone-in pork chops, instead of 6 small boneless ones. If you don't have squash, I'm thinking Brussel sprouts would be good, potatoes, or any root vegetable This does not, in my opinion, come off too sweet....

It is with great sadness that we report the passage of Ed Harri, a most exceptional man who, with his wife Pat, has co-owned Wenaha Gallery for 26 years. Ed loved people, life, and art. A quiet man, he was an excellent listener, and when he spoke, it was after much thought and deliberation. When he gave advice, it was worth following. Ed also had a dry, witty sense of humor. Often, because he could put on a very serious face, one needed a moment to realize that there had just been a joke. And then he would break out into that distinctive, warm...

Ten Years Ago Mar 10, 2011 [Headline] Baxter to challenge Gobel for Mayor [Photo caption] Members, parents, siblings, and coaches from 17 eastern Washington youth wrestling teams gathered in Waitsburg for the first tournament of the five-week Little Guys wrestling season. The 10 a.m. flag salute at Kison Court included an Honor Guard. Nearly 500 competitors participated in this first big tournament hosted by Waitsburg. Senior Bulldog Dain Henderson stood before a crowd of teammates, schoolmates, coaches, and family to read from the page, “I a...
First, a report on the Banana Breakfast Cookies. They are a winner. I used quick oats, instead of rolled oats, which I chose over old fashioned oats, but next time, I will buy the rolled oats. I added a tablespoon of peanut butter, (I could have added more!), and chopped almonds. My first batch I didn’t use parchment paper. They stuck a little bit as there is no oil in the batter. So use the parchment paper. I also added a half teaspoon of baking powder and a little bit of sugar (perhaps a f...

Ten Years Ago March 4, 2010 Retired state patrol sergeant Walt Gobel has declared his candidacy for mayor of Waitsburg, saying he is running with a slate of candidates nominated by the new “Truth and Trust” caucus. The caucus, which is roughly 40 members, also named Karl Newell, Kevin House, Orville Branson, Scott Nettles and Marty Dunn as nominees for City Council. A marina in the dead of winter isn’t the kind of place you’d expect to see a lot of life. But on a late February weekday morning, Lyons Ferry definitely has a pulse. Some boaters...
I didn't get a chance to make these this weekend. I have bananas, but they are not ripe yet. I think one could make these every time you have ripe bananas on hand, if you don't want to make banana bread, or don't have time. For those who don't eat much breakfast, or want to have a grab and go, these sound perfect. The reviews are all positive, saying what a great banana flavor they have. Many added a half teaspoon of salt and baking powder but said it was good either way. One said she added a ta...
