To my entire hometown Waitsburgians, I've wanted for some time to thank you for your love, support, and prayers. My parents often write and tell me people have asked about me and put me on the prayer chain. There is no doubt in my mind that the power of prayer has gotten me this far. I've often wondered why bad things happen and think God is giving us opportunities to be strong. We must live each day beautifully as tomorrow is promised to no one and we have but one life; there are no refunds whether we are satisfied or not. I've chosen t...

WAITSBURG - By all accounts, the life of Ginny Ruffner is extraordinary. She is a celebrated glass artist known for her lamp-working technique. She uses a gas torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass, then paints them. The results are groundbreaking, some would say "other-wordly," making her one of the most important female glass artists in the country. She once dated Northwest author Tom Robbins and is said to have inspired a character in his novel "Skinny Legs And All." Earlier...

Ten Years Ago August 24, 2000 The most intense wildland fire season in over 50 years has caused evacuations and health concerns. Project Impact urges firesafety procedures be observed. Locally, firefighters responded Friday afternoon to a residence in the 300 block of Coppei to extinguish a crawlspace fire. Twenty-Five Years Ago August 8, 1985 "Don't Blink, 1985 Harvest may be over" turned out to be a little premature. Rains late last week and heavier showers Sunday put harvest time on hold. Honoring the anniversary of the second atomic b...

When wine tasting room managers call me with wine news, I listen. Melody Leathers from Glenncorrie Winery, Walla Walla, called to tell me she and a half a dozen other wineries located on Highway 12, out beyond the new highway construction, have come up with some creative signage inviting the tourists and locals back to the wine region in the southern end of the county. Apparently this summer the south-end wineries have not experienced the crowds they have in the past and feel it's because of the confusing exits and entrances on the new...

They have invited 13 artists to provide seven pieces of work to basically fill the gallery space between now and Oct. 31!

Talking with my 3-year-old grandson Maxi is like Christmas in summer. I love his silly wiggle and non-committed rhetoric. For instance, I never knew that bees fly backwards and trucks are "pluper." My son interprets, "He means purple, Mom." Yesterday, Maxi pushed a chair over to the counter, much like his dad did when he was 3 years of age, and climbed up to help make a salad. Of course, he ended up putting olives on his fingers, making them dance like puppets, and gobbling them up one at a time just like his dad did. In fact, this kid looks...

DAYTON - When it comes to enjoying his work, Dain Henderson knows what he's doing. The 18-year-old Waitsburg resident who will be attending Dayton High School as a senior this fall knew he had his senior project coming up. So he put his mind to planning and found a way to combine his favorite pastime with his project - helping organize the annual Young Life golf tournament at the Touchet Valley Golf Course, in Dayton. Henderson, who has been golfing with the high school team since his freshman...
Ten Years Ago April 17, 2003 Three Waitsburg FFA commodity marketing teams placed first, second and third in the nation in a recently completed nationwide contest. The 10 students are members of Waits- burg's FFA chapter, advised by Scott Branson. The only difference between the activity and actually trading com- modities is that no actual money was involved. In the contest, the students review market conditions and place simulated orders over a month-long period. At the end of the competi- tion, how each team fared, based on the real-time...
During early spring, the evening skies over Dayton show like diamonds strewn across black velvet. I love the crisp night air and walks along the wheat fields of my neighborhood. Apparently the neighbor dogs like the walk too, meeting me at the fence happily accompanying me; or, is it the other way around? After the recent rains, the smells of nature are titillating. With my nose in the air and eyes wide open, I catch a glimpse in the evening sky, a pinkie smear of bright movement across the horizon taking me back some thirty years ago, when a b...
The spring winds that are blowing across the US Mid- western wheat belt are still cold, but they don't quite have the winter teeth that can eat little wheat plants the way they did last week. Overall US Spring wheat planting progress is nil in North Dakota and is reported at only 6% com- plete overall compared to 12% normally. Moisture has improved slightly in some of the Western win- ter wheat states, but conditions have not changed much in the last 10 days. Taken as a whole, the weather factor for wheat is not yet enough to inspire market...
