  • Prescott boys basketball win over Wilson Creek, 45-20

    Eric Umphrey, the Times|Jan 16, 2020

    LACROSSE-Prescott traveled to LaCrosse High School to host Wilson Creek January 7th in a non conference game. Wilson Creek and Mary Walker are two teams from the Spokane area Prescott plays in LaCrosse. LaCrosse acts as a midway point to reduce travel distances for both schools. Prescott dominated from the opening tip off and quickly built a big lead. #12 Jonathan Cardenas made a great pass to an open #3 Victor Garcia for a layup. Moments later #11 Antonio Hernandez completed the three-point...

Finney would score five more of his team leading 13 points in the first quarter as the team finished only two points behind the Knigh...

  • Broccoli Casserole

    Teeny McMunn, the Times|Jan 16, 2020

    I'm sure you have noticed, I don't have many vegetable recipes in my column. I have mentioned before, I prefer my vegetables plain with a little salt. Joe sneaks butter on them unless I catch him first. This may be because my mom was not an adventurous cook. So I was pleased when Katie Leid shared this with me. Her husband, Wes, a supportive fan, lets me know when they have tried recipes and encourages me to do a cookbook. INGREDIENTS: 4 Tbsp butter 4 Tbsp flour 1 (3 oz) cream cheese 1 ½...

  • Trash in the past

    Tracy Thompson, the Times|Jan 16, 2020

    Burn it, bury it or dump it. Or let the pigs eat it. Those used to be the options for refuse disposal at the turn of the last century. It wasn’t until 1896 that New York City required residents to separate household waste, food waste in one tin, ash in another, and dry trash in a bag or bundle. Back then it was estimated that each American produced 80-100 pounds of food waste, 50-100 pounds of rubbish, and 300-12000 pounds of wood or coal ash. Small and medium sized towns built piggeries where swine were fed fresh or cooked garbage. One e...

  • More than a crown

    Beka Compton, the Times|Jan 16, 2020

    If you've ever attended the Waitsburg Celebration Days parade, there's no doubt you've seen the young ladies donning crowns and waving atop their horse. While smiling and waving is at the top of the list, a rodeo queen's duties go far beyond the parade route. A rodeo queen's reign lasts for a year, give or take a month or so. They act as ambassadors for their event, their community, and the sport of rodeo in its entirety. When they aren't on horseback, they can be found speaking about their...

    Beka Compton, the Times|Jan 16, 2020

The town's new ambassador is Lena Berens, of Walla Walla, who is looking forward to representing Waitsburg on the rodeo trail this year.

After her coronation, she will travel from Asotin to Joseph, and Pendleton to Lewiston, promoting not only Waitsburg Celebration Days, but the...
