  • Made to Strum

    Brianna Wray, The Times|Jan 31, 2019

    WAITSBURG-Most aspiring musicians are eager to run down to the music shop, buy a guitar and play songs for screaming fans, and start selling out concert halls. Few give thought to where instruments come from: through the care of know-how of a luthier. A luthier builds and repairs stringed instruments using their understanding of musical scales combined with the materials of the trade such as metal hardware and hardwoods, as well as craftsmanship to create a work of art you can play for years....

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Jan 31, 2019

    PRESCOTT – This Jan. 25 home conference match was a very enjoyable game to watch. Prescott fell behind early and a Jace Gwinn layup in the third looked to put the game out of reach for Prescott but they came roaring back in the third quarter with a series of three pointers to cut into the lead. In the 4th quarter Prescott came all the way back on a three pointer from Jonathan Cardenas tying the game at 55-55 late in the 4th quarter. In the end on back to back possessions the three pointers j...

    DAYTON – DW had control of the Jan. 22 non-conference home game against Touchet until late in the third quarter when DW seemed to be stuck at 26 points and shot-after-shot wouldn't fall for them.

  • Teeny McMunn: My Recipe Box

    Teeny McMunn, The Times|Jan 31, 2019

    I was trying to think of a Super Bowl recipe or something that may work beside pizza, chips and dip, and chili. I thought this might be good for a main meal or something not too heavy and ready to eat. And with most soups, you can add or subtract according to taste. The preview of this recipe says they used low-sodium chicken broth and fresh chilies instead of canned, along with skinless, boneless chicken breasts. INGREDIENTS: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into trips 1 tsp chili powder ¼ tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp...
