At the moment, I’m looking at a blank page, wondering what I was thinking when I volunteered to do this. After all, there’s a pandemic going on (whether you want to admit it or not) and there are enough restrictions on gatherings to make it problematic to schedule any. The first thing I must do is apologize to everyone who missed the Christmas tree lighting at Old Town Hall. It was completely my fault that the event was not publicized adequately. I will own that and promise to...
Soon, many area kitchens will be bustling with week-before-Christmas preparations. Company may be coming, kids home from college and you need something for the breakfast crowd. Ground Beef Strata, a recipe I developed, is a breakfast-type casserole that can be made ahead to be ready for baking in the morning. With an hour and a half baking time, set it to bake before present-opening time if a brunch following is in your plans. Ground Beef Strata 1-1 1/2 pounds lean ground...

Remember when the local newspaper was the “go-to” place for information about social gatherings, upcoming events and much, much more? When I was growing up in Bickleton, which didn’t have its own paper, there were ordinary people like you and me who ensured that both the Sunnyside Sun and the Goldendale Sentinel received information about goings-on in our tiny community. The world has changed since the middle of the last century. Many of the smaller newspapers have faded away as the Internet has grown in prominence. Now w...

1 years ago Dec. 10, 1920 The annual town election was as expected a very quiet affair more closely resembling a school election than a general one. Shortly after noon only 11 votes had been cast and when the polls closed only 32 had exercised their right of franchise. There was no scratching done on the “Citizens’ Ticket” which, with the limited number of votes, made this election the easiest one to get in the returns of any ever held in Odessa. The newly elected officers are J.C. Michaelsen, mayor; W.L. Smith and Wm. H...

Food and fellowship, the two go together, belong together. The times make it difficult to combine the two. Recipes and the sharing of family favorites or the newest recipe combos from various publications, is one way for friends and loved ones to connect.

It’s been 278 days since Gov. Jay Inslee first issued executive orders shutting down businesses, ending government transparency and calling some people “non-essential.” His mantra at the time, “flatten that curve” on the growing coronavirus outbreak. The governor and his hand-picked advisers told us the shutdowns were temporary, that the so-called emergency was temporary. More than six month later, temporary seems to have a different definition. Businesses are closing daily, residents across the state are protestin...
