RITZVILLE — The police chief has a story about how crime scene evidence can come back unexpectedly at different times and places. “Back in July this year, a call came in for an attempted burglary (at a marijuana shop near the freeway,) Police Chief Bill Benner said. “The officers and the owner of the shop saw three individuals running from his place of business back toward the freeway and crawl under the fence and get into a car parked along the freeway and speed away.” There was also security video footage of the inciden...

RITZVILLE — Train aficionados can keep tabs on railway traffic through town now, thanks to a new live-feed available online. On Sunday, Dec. 1, Reed Skyllingstad paused on a stepladder outside Ritzville Depot while installing a live-feed video camera for anyone with internet to watch the train traffic. Skyllingstad modestly said more of the credit for installing the system belongs to his brother, Dale.

LIND - All five Town Council members were present for their meeting Nov. 26, and while some of the deadline issues were decided, not one member wanted to move the proposed budget go to a vote. There were some periods of silence in which approving a budget was light years away from what any council member wanted to do. "We cannot approve this the way it's been presented," Councilwoman Jamie Schmunk said. "Too many questions... "We need to be in the office. She (town...
1 years ago The Ritzville Journal-Times Dec. 4, 1924 FOGGY WEATHER CAUSES ACCIDENTS The foggy weather and slippery roads were responsible for a number of auto accidents during the past week. Al Pohl and William Kembel returning from Spokane in the former's Ford coupe, had their car turn turtle when they turned out to pass another car near the Fullquartz place on the highway. Mr. Pohl was skinned up about the knees and Mr. Kembel had a blow on the head which left him dazed...
A state audit published Nov. 14 found that more than 2,000 people who tapped a fund that benefits only some workers with up to 18 weeks off work with pay — while harming the paychecks of most other workers, including those with low incomes — violated state law by taking money from the state’s unemployment insurance program at the same time. They had their Paid Family Medical Leave and ate up UI benefits, too. The Employment Security Department, which administers both programs,...
RITZVILLE — Adams County has not had an operating jail in a couple years and the only thing standing in the way of rebooting it is money. An assortment of county officials met with the DOH Associates architectural firm of Wenatchee on Nov. 26 to discuss how to start renovations. While there was a wide range of safety and infrastructure ideas to advance, there was also an adult in the room. County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Flyckt estimated the process to come up with anything better than what now exists might take two y...

Cookie exchange and gift giving season is here. The day before Thanksgiving I enjoyed helping a group of students make and deliver cookie plates. One recipe we used, Grandma’s Drop Sugar Cookies is a bit unusual. The dough is very, very soft, almost runny, like thick glaze. This is a great recipe to make when kids want to make sugar cookies but you don’t have time to deal with the cookie cutters and rolling pin mess. Grandma’s Drop Sugar Cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp...

“When you been maturinatin’ ‘long as I have, they’s a few ultimatum facts about life that jest can’t be ignored,” With that, our favorite old-time camp cook, mule packer and occasional predictor of things that haven’t happened yet, Windy Wilson, stirred the sugar in his coffee and looked at the rest of us. Wisely. Well, as wisely as old Windy ever gets. We knew we were in for another dose of campfire education, even if it’s totally wrong. We smiled. Some people need cable TV to find this kind of fun. “Like them measurementals...
The last weekend of the NCAA football regular season was really quite interesting to say the least. There were a ton of upsets that would have eliminated a few teams from the championship playoff had it only been four teams but now that it is 12 teams it will only affect where teams will be seeded. Sure there’s a team or two that may have played themselves out of it and into a lesser bowl game but they will get to play another game. It was rivalry Saturday for a lot of t...
