This past weekend, I was a little out of county — okay, fine, completely out of county — headed to Moses Lake to cover a wedding. My second full wedding shoot ever, and let me tell you, I’m still finding glitter, bobby pins, and soggy lens wipes in my backpack. The rain across Eastern Washington didn’t ruin anything — it somehow made the photos even dreamier. I fueled myself on what may have been too much coffee while editing over 400 photos in two days — my fastest tur...
Well, folks, I did it. I finally took a vacation day. Singular. One day. And I used it to go visit my family on the west side - my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, stepdad and mom. You know, the usual suspects. It wasn't too wild of a trip: stop in Lacey - check. Stop in Tacoma - check. Fresh seafood - check, check, check. I'm sorry, but when you've spent enough time eating "crab" that's actually just dyed perch, you develop a moral obligation to find the real thing. But this...
Pumpkins and all sorts of winter squash are currently plentiful in the markets. Many of the decorative varieties also make good pumpkin puree for fall recipes. Pumpkin and squash add vitamins and fiber to meals. Rich desserts benefit from the creamy texture. Tracy Walter share the recipe for the Pumpkin Better Than Sex Cake she made for a birthday gathering. This is a poke style cake with sweetened condensed milk added after baking. Boxed cake mix and bottled caramel sauce make this recipe easy to prepare, but do plan for sev...

WENATCHEE — Two Lincoln County journalists were recognized for their work last year in newspapers. Record-Times Editor Olivia Harnack and freelance reporter/photographer Byrne Bennett were both recognized for their photography on Oct. 4 during the annual Washington Newspaper Publisher Association gala. Harnack won second place in portrait photography for “Top Dog,” a photo of the newspaper mascot, Winnie, the miniature dachshund, standing beneath a much larger dog. The image captured the small dog’s “big” attitude and the big...
1 Years Ago Dr. O. W. Johnson completed a deal where he purchased the frame building two doors east of Brown & Rummers tailor shop on Morgan St. in Davenport. W. H.

REARDAN – When the R Store closed its doors on Sept. 15, the local food pantry was displaced from its space inside the building. On Oct. 4, a cadre of We C.A.R.E. (We Care About Reardan Edwall) volunteers moved the food pantry to a temporary location inside a local resident's shop at 310 S Lake Street. We C.A.R.E. coordinator Virginia Henderson said the pantry offers perishable food, including farm eggs, frozen chicken and ground beef, and also personal items. The pantry is o...

Odessa had two special visitors this week - Madison Wade, reporter for King 5's Unsolved Northwest, and Joseph Huerta, an Emmy Award-winning photojournalist who somehow managed to make our small-town office look cinematic. Now, I went to school to be behind the camera, not in front of one. But apparently, the universe decided it was time for me to face my greatest fear - being on television. I always figured if I were on TV, it would be for something like winning a Jet Ski...
DAVENPORT - The Davenport Road Knights Car Club was inducted into the Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame during a ceremony that recognized car clubs for their years of service.

REARDAN - Laughter, cheers and a little healthy competition filled the gym on Wednesday, Oct. 1, as students and teachers squared off during a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) assembly class challenge. The teachers' team pulled ahead of fifth- and sixth-grade classes, showing that school spirit knows no age. The middle school and high school band, along with the cheerleaders, helped lead the crowd with music and energy. The assembly also recognized...
Ahhh, October — the month when the air smells faintly of cinnamon and chaos, and the world collectively agrees that it’s finally time to start pretending our front porches are haunted. It’s my favorite month of the year and the glorious start of a new season — arguably the best season (sorry, summer). Halloween has always had my heart. Maybe it’s the spooky atmosphere, maybe it’s my lifelong love of horror movies — the classics, the campy ones, the meta ones like Scream — or maybe it’s just my inner child thriving on excus...
Frost is on the pumpkins and tomatoes throughout the Inland Northwest. Garden cleanup time is in full swing. End of season tomatoes can be turned into fresh salsa or traditional Pico de Gallo. Late ripening tomatoes tend to be dryer so the salsa is thicker. Ingredients in both versions of salsa are similar. Generally Pico de Gallo does not include sweet bell pepper, whereas fresh Salsa often includes some bell pepper. Best Fresh Tomato Salsa 3 cups finely chopped tomatoes 1 cup finely diced onion 1/2 cup finely chopped green...

Mr. McMillian has long been a strong supporter of Whitworth College and one of the buildings on campus is named after him. Jake Bastrom, janitor at Odessa school, has been the busiest man in town since the scarlet fever quarantine has been...
Harrington Fall Fest brought the usual: food, friends, laughter, and enough pumpkin spice to put a scarecrow into a sugar coma. But this year also brought something new-your local newspaper mascot and part-time diva, Winnie the weiner dog, scored her first athletic medal. Bronze, baby. The 5K Fun Run kicked off at 9 a.m., and while I was still shaking off Deutschesfest laryngitis, Winnie was in prime form. The crowd was packed, and while I was just another runner pinning on a...

Autumn has begun. Pumpkins are ripening, and showing up at markets. Pumpkin pie, muffins, cookies and bread recipes are on area cooks minds. You can buy canned prepared pumpkin, but the fresh flavor of a sugar pie pumpkin is exceptional. Though pie pumpkins are best for texture and flavor, any pumpkin or winter squash may be used to make the solid puree required for most recipes. Preparation takes a little time but is quite easy to do, and there are many methods, from boiling to baking. The following method is my favorite...
