Last summer, my first in Waitsburg, I planted three tomato plants and harvested enough tomatoes to keep Heinz making ketchup for years. I was so proud, I sent pictures back to everyone in Los Angeles, bragging about my abundant tomato crop. Then came the frost, and all I had were limp dead plants, and planters loaded with green tomatoes. Experienced gardeners advised me " don't be discouraged, pick them, put them in a box in the pantry or laundry room and you will have tomatoes through...
WAITSBURG-It happens often enough, scrolling through one's timeline to find a friend or acquaintance posting about their accounts having been hacked, but has it ever happened to you? Once in 2005 my eBay account was hacked into and subsequent attempts were made to use my sixteen-digit debit card combination at a few gas stations in Florida.

For T. J. Hersey, running her father’s...
I wasn’t sure what a “Galette” was. It’s basically a fruit tart, using whichever fruit you would like. This one used apricots. When I looked it up, there are a wide variety of variations. This one is quick, especially if you use a store bought pie crust. The filling is cream cheese and sugar. I had a piece. I like that the fresh fruit flavor comes through, but so does the cream cheese flavor!! I shared that I’m not a cream cheese fan, but many are. I can see peaches and blueberries for this recipe or strawberries. INGREDIENTS: 1 refrigera...
WALLA WALLA—Individual business owners in Walla Walla are all managing Governor Inslee's mask wearing proclamation in their own unique ways. Cugini's Italian Import Foods on Wallula in Walla Walla posted a sign noting masks were required, but clothing was optional! At Ellen's Cutting Edge Barbershop, notices on the door required masks, as well as a prior appointment to get a cut. I had been a frequent customer of Saager's since I moved to town nine years ago-as it was where I had my two young s...

However, the month of May saw an increase in patient volumes in several areas; including R...
