WAITSBURG - When Swissair Flight 111 went down off the coast near St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia, in 1998, a newspaper account of the crash described the nighttime waters at the site as "inky." Canadian artist Michelle Forsyth took that description to set the context for a sculpture she dedicated to the air disaster that killed all 229 aboard. Her piece, "For September Second," is now on display at AMO Art Gallery on Main Street, open by appointment. She worked the nighttime darkness into he...

WAI T SBURG - On an early spring weekend five years ago, the Tour of Walla Walla made its usual no-stop route through Waitsburg. Just as the racers were starting up the grueling Middle Waitsburg Road through the fields south of town, a thunder and lightening storm of biblical dimensions descended on them and tour organizers quickly realized they better cancel the event for the rest of the day lest riders get hurt. So, out of the blue, hundreds of cyclists were stranded in the little town of Wait...
Barney Fife, the real Barney Fife, lives in Milton Freewater, did you know that? Yeah, and he's the spitting-image of old Barney without the Mayberry police car. He's a grower of green beans and says there hasn't been enough heat this summer for all of his Kentucky Blue Beans to climb the garden poles. Nevertheless, old Barn sold me a sack of his young, bright-green beans at the Farmers Market. Arriving home, I made a quick, cold-processed refrigerator green bean pickle for the dinner table. At 6 p.m., I put together a charcoal grill, and...

DAYTON - Television host Grant Goodeve agrees with local business owners and planners. Dayton doesn't have to dress itself up and pretend to be something it isn't.

"So much is already here and offered that you don't have to set anything up. It's authentic, and everything is so darn clean a...

Friday evening my wine guy suggested we go for wine tasting and share a platter of artisan cheeses at Vintage Cellars, downtown Walla Walla. After arriving we were shown a new red wine blend by Rhone Ranger, Sean Boyd of Rotie Cellars. The VDP '08 is an exceptional blend of 88 percent Pepper Bridge Syrah and 12 percent Horse Heaven Hills Mourvedre swirling in macerated dark fruits and caramelized mushroom. I particularly love the little caramelized tinge left rolling over my tongue with each sip and Wine Guy was amazed at the lushness of t...
WAITSBURG - Kim Hamann has presented pigs at local fairs before, but her favorite animal to raise and show is a sheep. One of the reasons is that the 14-year-old Future Farmers of America member has raised sheep on her family farm since she was five. The other reason is that she has feels "the best connection" with sheep from the time they're still lambs to well beyond the yearling stage. This year, for instance, she brought her 1.5-year-old sheep Todd to the Junior Livestock Show in...
