    Front Porch: The end of a musical era (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Almost 30 years ago, a friend gifted us her Victorian-era Schiller upright “cabinet grand” piano. An aunt had given it to her several years earlier, and she no longer wanted it. Though a bit battered and missing some of its ivory key tops, it was a beautiful piece of furniture and kept in perfect tune. Growing up, I longed to play the piano, but the instrument and money for the lessons were never in our family budget. When she offered us the gift, we had three young boys at home – and I wanted t

    Opa! The longest-running Greek food festival in the nation is returning for its 90th year. As the Rev. Daniel Triant, head priest at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, pored over newspaper clippings and photos from past festivals, he felt humbled by the ongoing support of the Spokane community. Many of those photos and clippings items will be included in a new exhibit. “We’re going to have a memorial wall in the courtyard,” he said. “A museum-style trip through time.” Additional surprises are i

    Front Porch: These bells produced a neighborly toll (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Working from home has taught me an invaluable truth: When the bell tolls, it’s not for me. I don’t answer the doorbell or respond to knocking. Friends and family text before stopping by. Anyone else who disturbs my workday is an unwelcome interruption. Last month, as I typed away in my home office, I heard a rat-a-tat-tat rap on the front door, followed by the ringing of the bell. Annoyed, I saved my document and went to the window to see if it was a siding salesman or religious proselytizer. In

    Although 'there is no secret to sourdough,' 89-year-old educator shares his bready tips and tricks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Don Burge, 89, has always enjoyed preparing food. “I started trying to cook at age 7 and got in trouble for it,” he recalled. His mother was out, and he and his brother were supposed to play outside. “We got hungry, so I lit a fire in the cookstove and cooked us some bacon and eggs.” His mother wasn’t happy with him, but a different kind of spark had ignited. Burge didn’t pursue a career as a chef; instead, he enjoyed a long career as a pharmacist, but his desire to create in the kitchen didn’t
