STARBUCK-With a year of business under its belt, Rebecca's Lodge restaurant owner Carol Wildman says things are going well. When The Times stopped in on a Thursday afternoon, locals relaxed and chatted in arm chairs at the front of the café while visitors from Walla Walla enjoyed a meal and asked questions about the area. The restaurant, located at 211 E. Main in Starbuck, is a work of love by Carol and Floyd Wildman, who have operated Aunt Jennie's B&B in Starbuck for more than a decade. The...
DAYTON—City of Dayton Mayor Craig George presided over a lengthy city council meeting last week, which will be his last before he retires on Apr. 30. “I really want to thank the council. I’ve been to many meetings in the state and the councils are pretty contentious and don’t always get along . . . Everyone in this council has always done what we all think is best for the citizens of Dayton and I appreciate that.” City council members Mike Paris and Delphine Bailey have both informed the council...
Brian Treadway hopes to garner interest from new or future operators WAITSBURG-Waitsburg's Brian Treadway said he followed his grandfather's footsteps into ham radio but now uses the platform mostly in an emergency response capacity. He's hoping to garner more local interest, especially from those interested in providing emergency services. Amateur radio, better known as ham radio, is a hobby enjoyed by over a million people worldwide who call themselves "radio hams" or simply "hams." Most hams...
DAYTON-With The Club youth center nearing completion of its first school year, co-founder Ginny Butler said community members are still confused about how the center is funded. Butlers said that tremendous community support has allowed The Club to thrive and successfully accomplish its mission "to enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens." Butler said funding of The Club is split into three separate...
PASCO – The first 18-hole par 72 course of the year proved to be challenging for the players on DW's golf team. Casey Brooks and Tom Elder participated in their first high school golf matches this past Thursday on April 11 at Sun Willows, in Pasco. The day, however, belonged to Evan Harvill of Burbank who shot a two over 74. He finished the day first overall by six strokes with one eagle and three birdies. The eagle was on the 12th hole, a 325- yard par 4. Evan reached the green off the tee p...

Russell Wilson and his agent have given the Seahawks an April 15 deadline to get a multiple-year extension done. If the date passes without one, he claims he will not sign another with Seattle. The next move would be either a trade (presumably for multiple draft picks) or giving Russell the franchise tag for one to two years, keeping him in Seattle. The side you are on really depends on how you see the current Seahawks team. Are they still a playoff team that just needs to replace a few older, injury-prone players? Or has this core run its...

This is one I haven't made, but thought it might be an idea for those who are having guests for Easter morning. It looks hearty enough to "stick to your ribs" until Easter dinner. Plus, it is a make-ahead dish, which is a bonus. Do you have a traditional Easter dinner? Ham and scalloped potatoes, lamb, or perhaps go out to dinner or brunch? I saw a fun idea while searching for a recipe for this week. Everyone has their favorite deviled egg recipe, but in this recipe, they took the hard-cooked...

One might assume that the facsimile, or fax as it came to be known, is a thing of the past. Faxes are obsolete technology from the days of screeching modems and are better relegated to the past along with floppy disks. If you're faxing in 2019, you might as well pull out a chisel and slab of limestone. Why not send a telegram? Or spend 6-8 weeks raising a homing pigeon. They fly between 600 and 800 miles a day. Surely that's faster and more rewarding than sending a fax. The idea of faxing today...
