Over Christmas break, my grandma got something in the mail. It was a catalogue. A seed catalogue, to be more specific. It wasn't terribly glossy, and it wasn't a famous sup- plier. But boy, that thing was thick. It had a beautifully illustrated cover, a water- color painting of flowers, herbs, and vegetables. And inside, it had for sale more flower, herb, and vegetable seeds than I knew existed; each described concisely and accompanied by a fullcolor picture. Oca. Quinoa. Purple-skinned tomatoes. Fifty-pound squash shaped like pink bananas. I,...
High School athletics are a funny thing. In high school, I was more involved with band and the occasional theater production than I was with sports. Plus, golf was my sport and it's not as geared toward spectators as basket- ball, football or volleyball at the high school level.

This week, the Lady Bulldog and Lady Cardinal basketball teams are in the playoffs. Several WP wrestlers have moved on to regional tournaments.

In a three-part column in The Times last month, sports reporter Dan Groom addressed the...

DAYTON - The largest gun dealer in the Touchet Valley has seen a huge in- crease in demand in the last few weeks. And local gun registrations are on the rise as well. "The rush this time is four times what it was four years ago," said manager Brad Hatfield of Dayton's City Lumber and Coal Yard. He was referring to the sale of guns and ammunition since mid-December, compared to the level of sales after the 2008 elections. Hatfield said the 2008 rush was nearly four times the typical sales volume...
