Prep Signing: Salisbury's McKeithan will prove himself at Appalachian State
By Ronnie Gallagher
SALISBURY — Salisbury football coach Joe Pinyan says Parker McKeithan is a big project as an Appalachian State recruit.
At, 6-foot-4, 295, a big, big project.
The Hornets' offensive lineman is headed to Boone with teammate Justin Ruffin as a preferred walk-on, which means he is on the team, even without a scholarship secured.
The scholarship can come, his coaches say, with hard work and a new mindset.
"With his size and ability, he can play there," said Hornets' offensive line coach David Johnson. "Is he at that level now? No. Can he be after a few years in their program? Yes."
McKeithan was a key to Salisbury's wishbone churning for almost 300 yards per game and winning 11 of 14 games in 2012. But this will be different from his Salisbury days.
"I'll be a tackle there," McKeithan said. "I'll pass block more. I'll just stay focused."
McKeithan will become the second college football player in the family. Dad Eric was a defensive lineman at Catawba from 1988-91, playing with current Catawba coach Curtis Walker. But Eric doesn't want to hear any of this, "Be as good as Dad" talk.
"He needs to create his own name, learn from his own mistakes and do everything right," Eric said.
One asset is that McKeithan will be a one-sport Mountaineer. At Salisbury he played three.
"It will benefit him tremendously," Eric said. "With just one sport, he'll have time to work out and not go from football to wrestling to baseball."
Eric speaks from experience. He came to Catawba from 1A Red Springs.
"I was way behind," Eric said. "When you get to college, you have to do it, you have no choice. The coaches are there to make you do it. It's a mindset. You'll see a difference when Parker comes home next summer."
Running back Ruffin is one future Mountaineer glad to have McKeithan on his side. He has talked many times of racing behind the behemoth for much of his 1,724 yards last season.
"It makes it a lot better," McKeithan said of going to Boone, not only with Ruffin, but with North's Will Robertson, another offensive lineman. "I'm excited about going up there with them."
McKeithan's father always wondered about which sport Parker would choose. Growing up through the youth leagues, it appeared baseball was his ticket.
"I let him decide," Eric said, "but when he decided to play (football), I was ecstatic."
As the years went on, Pinyan nurtured McKeithan into an all-conference and all-county performer. This past season, the guard helped Salisbury score 40 points seven times.
Johnson saw a constant improvement.
"I saw a progression of getting aggressive and tougher," he said.
Now, it's up to McKeithan to keep moving forward.
"The Good Lord gave him 6-4, 290 with good feet," Pinyan said. "The Appalachian coaches feel, 'We can make him a pretty good football player.' But it will be a year or two before he fits in."
McKeithan is ready for the challenge.
"I'm going up there and hit the weights hard," he said.
His father has no doubt his son can play D-I football.
"I saw glimpses of it," Eric said of his son's dominance this past season. "It's in him. He has no choice but to man up.
"I think he will."

Last winter after hearing that the trail to Mount Isolation was packed and easy to reach the summit, we thought we might give it a go. As it turned out, the plan didn?t come together. This winter, with our friends Mark and Natalie Truman, who were to be in NH for a four day weekend, the idea was talked about and we were all ready to go. We decided to get an early start on Tuesday morning at 7:15 am. The temperature was in the 20?s, no wind with an overcast sky. Maybe it would clear up by the time we reached the summit, maybe not.
The initial few miles is where you get most of the elevation gain along the Rocky Branch Trail. Before you reach the Engine Hill bushwack it levels out and with the trail packed, it was a delight.
We entered the bushwack a little further past the unofficial ?T? since it had been broken out.
The trail took us through several sections of beautiful birch glades.
Before long we crossed the Rocky Branch River and were at the trailhead for the Davis Path leaving .9 to the summit. Here we stopped to refuel and met Matt and Isidora (VFFT members) along with Kelly and Elmore.
The last section is steep but we all made it up without much difficulty.
We were all happy hikers at this point on the summit of Mount Isolation . No views were to be found, but that didn?t really matter as it was a beautiful wintery scene on the top. We had completed #43 with good friends.
It was much quicker on the return trip. Finishing up at 5:15. Hungry for some good food Mark and Natalie picked up dinner from Red Fox (two for one pizza, steak tip sub and a meatloaf dinner) and met us back at the Lodge at Jackson for dinner in the Great Room with a roaring fire. Life doesn?t get any better than this.
Here?s the link to a slide show of our journey.

Last week we reminded farmers and manure handlers that all stored manure can produce hazardous gases at levels of concern in some conditions. Some of these gases (like hydrogen sulfide [H2S]) are toxic and heavier than air and therefore are prone to sink to low areas like storage pits, sumps, or other depressions and accumulate to potentially LETHAL levels.
We also reported specifically on concerns we have with possible increased risk for exposure to high levels of H2S from long-term liquid manure storages used to store manure from barns where gypsum is used for cow bedding. These concerns are based on recent measurements taken by staff from the Benton fire department and the Yates County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) where greater than 100 ppm H2S was measured at the edge of a long-term liquid manure storage structure. This level is identified as immediately dangerous according to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
The Yates County measurements are consistent with reports of high levels measured on at least one Pennsylvania farm where gypsum also was used for bedding and manure was stored. Gas concentrations are rapidly diluted with distance from the storage structure, so there should be little or no concern during agitation or clean out beyond the immediate farmstead.
What's New?
Since last week it has come to our attention that gypsum is also being used by some New York State farmers as a bedding material in deep bedded pack barns. Deep bedded pack systems have the same anaerobic (little or no oxygen) conditions as long-term liquid manure storages – the conditions needed for the formation of H2S by microbes.
Therefore, the potential for human exposure to high levels of H2S is possible with bedded pack situations as well as long-term liquid manure storages. In fact, the opportunity for a farmer to be exposed to high levels of H2S may possibly be even higher with bedded packs, especially during clean-out. The packs are normally under roof, and enclosed barns may not provide enough air movement to maintain safe working conditions.
Late last week, staff from the Benton fire department and Yates County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) measured more than 100 ppm H2S in a barn where a deep bedded back was being removed. Once again, gypsum had been used as part of the overall bedding material.
As a reminder, human exposure to hydrogen sulfide levels above 20 ppm can cause headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. According to OSHA, a concentration of 100 ppm H2S is immediately dangerous to life and health because the symptoms can make it difficult or impossible to escape from a dangerous situation. Levels over 100 ppm paralyze the olfactory nerve (sense of smell) causing the victim to not know they are breathing in the gas, and exposure at this level for 48 hours may cause death. At levels above 500 ppm, staggering and collapse can occur in 5 minutes, death after 30-60 minutes. Since we are finding random air samples over 100 ppm H2S, it is possible to have pockets of H2S near or in storage/bedded pack structures during agitation or clean-out that are at much higher levels.

Hannah Arendt (October 14, 1906 December 4, 1975) was a German political theorist. She has often been described as a philosopher, although she always refused that label on the grounds that philosophy is concerned with "man in the singular." She described herself instead as a political theorist because her work centers on the fact that "men, not Man, live on the earth and inhabit the world."

Husker Fan: Lantz Belongs in All-Time Debate
While Looking Ahead, NU Honors Its Past
Vote for NU Men's All-Devaney Team
Vote for Women's All-Devaney Team
By Randy York
In the endless debate to determine the top Nebraska men's and women's basketball players who represented the Huskers inside the Devaney Center from 1976 to 2013, one name drops completely out of the conversation. And because of that, a Husker fan in Goshin, Ind., believes that Stuart Lantz becomes unintentionally irrelevant. Kenneth Petersen, who received his B.S. from UNL in 1967 and his MD from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in 1971, makes a valid point after reading stories emerging from the All-Time All-Devaney Teams that will be determined by Huskers.com voting ending Friday.
"I always look forward to reading your N-Sider articles on the Husker website," Petersen wrote in an email. "Not taking anything away from Tyronn Lue, but in your 'Legendary Question: Was Lue Huskers' Best?' article, no consideration was given to Stu Lantz." Lantz graduated from NU in 1968, but somehow dropped off the radar when Dave Hoppen, Nebraska's all-time leading basketball scorer, declared that Lue may have been the Nebraska's all-time best NBA player. Hoppen said that title was between Lue, who spent 11 years in the NBA, and Eric Piatkowski, who played 14 years in the NBA. "Since Stu graduated in 1968, most of Nebraska's recent players and sportswriters never saw him play," Petersen pointed out. "He was a game-changer at Nebraska, even though his 1,200-plus points do not place him among the top 10 scorers."
Closer examination reveals that Lantz, who played eight years in the NBA, averaged 12.4 points per game, a considerably higher performance standard than either Lue's 8.5 ppg or Piatkowski's 7.5-point scoring average. Petersen also points out that Nebraska's basketball record for 1965-66, '66-'67 and '67-'68 – Lantz's final three seasons – was 30-12 in the Big Eight Conference and 51-24 overall. "Stu not only played well in the pros, but also was a productive college player and model citizen," Petersen said, acknowledingt that Lantz is still connected to the NBA as a color commentator with the legendary Chick Hearn on Los Angeles Laker broadcasts. "I was privileged to see both Stu Lantz and Tyronn Lue play for Nebraska and see them both play for the LA Lakers," Petersen said.
1966 Teammates Made a Formidable 1-2 Punch
Nebraska basketball historian Mike Babcock and I both consider Lantz one of our all-time favorite Husker players, if not our favorite. And Petersen is right. When we wrote an N-Sider column about which Husker may have been Nebraska's all-time best player in the NBA, Lantz's credentials are as good as it gets, yet were not mentioned. I know this. Lantz's former teammate and fellow Husker Hall-of-Famer Tom Baack, who arrived from Indiana at the same time Lantz landed in Lincoln from Uniontown, Pa., joined forces to become one of the best 1-2 scoring punches in Nebraska basketball history.
Even though Baack barely edged Lantz in career scoring, Baack said his more talented teammate was the best basketball player he ever saw play for the Huskers. "When he first got here, he could do so many things and jump so high, I was almost intimidated," Baack recalled. "We became good friends and close teammates and are proud of what we accomplished."
"Tommy was a real leader, and I was fortunate to play with him," Lantz said.
"When Coach Baack was an assistant coach here, he would always tell me how he wished I could have seen Stu Lantz play," Hoppen said. "I finally got to meet him at a Rebounders Club Golf Tournament in 2009."
Lantz, Hoppen and Piatkowski are the only three Husker players to have their jerseys retired. "Lantz was a legend, and when you meet him, you understand why," Piatkowski said.
Lantz, Baack: NU Basketball Re-Constructionists
In 1966, Lantz and Baack led Nebraska to its first 20-win season (20-5) and a second-place Big Eight finish. In my mind, those two Husker stars were modern-day re-constructionists because the Huskers experienced 15 consecutive non-winning seasons before they arrived on campus and turned things around.
"We had a good team," said Baack, who returned for last weekend's Nebraska Basketball Hall-of-Fame ceremonies, followed by more hoopla that included halftime introductions at the NU-Michigan State game.
"We were a very good team," Lantz said, pointing out that fellow guard Grant Simmons also was an an All-Big Eight selection in 1966 when the Huskers finished with the No. 11 ranking in the final UPI college basketball poll.
The next two seasons, Lantz became Nebraska's first ever, two-time, first-team All Big Eight player. As juniors, he and Baack led the Huskers to their first ever NIT Tournament bid, and as seniors, they won the Big Eight Holiday Tournament championship in Kansas City.
Lantz, Family Made San Diego Permanent Home
In 75 games at Nebraska, Lantz scored 1,269 points for a 16.9-point per game average.A third-round NBA draft choice of the San Diego Rockets, he went on to play for five teams in his eight NBA seasons. In 547 NBA games, Lantz scored 6,782 points – a 12.4-point average.
"The best thing that ever happened was meeting my wife and being married to her for more than 46 years," Lantz said. "We've been blessed with three children and four grandchildren, and we trace it all right back to Lincoln, Nebraska."

Banking and the Business Cycle
This rare study by C.A. Phillips, together with T.F. McManus and R.W. Nelson, appeared in 1937 as an Austrian-style analysis of the stock market crash and the great depression that followed.
It explores the many theories tossed about at the time, and concludes that the theory "here developed may be called a 'central banking' explanation of the depression. The depth and duration of the depression are held to be the ineluctable consequences of the preceding boom. That boom could never have lasted as long as it did, nor could it have assumed the proportions it attained, under the old National Banking System. The boom and depression were therefore proximately caused by central bank credit expansion."
We can see, then, why Austrian economists have long held this book in high esteem, though it has been nearly impossible to find for many years. Murray Rothbard himself picked it as among the 20 most significant economics books of the 20th century.

Programs Push the Envelope to Deliver Savings
Better Buildings Neighborhood Program partners are thinking outside the box and developing innovative ways to drive demand for energy upgrades, provide attractive financing options, foster a trained energy workforce, and create models for energy efficiency programs across the country. From neighborhood sweeps and "carrotmobs" to energy advisors and on-bill loan payment, these forward-thinking programs are figuring out what works best in their communities to transform the market for more energy-efficient buildings.
BetterBuildings for Michigan is using a political campaign-style "sweep" tactic to target homes in each neighborhood block-by-block. Trusted community partners "canvass" door-to-door to educate homeowners about the benefits of energy efficiency, upgrade options available, and the best ways to finance upgrades. Contractors follow up with homeowners to encourage more upgrades after the sweep has ended.

To help homeowners make sense of the energy evaluation and financing options offered through its program, Clean Energy Works Oregon (CEWO) provides energy advisors to assist them throughout the process, from lending to quality control inspections once the upgrade is complete. In Ohio, a Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance (GCEA) energy advisor calls participating homeowners to encourage them throughout, from requesting an assessment to hiring a contractor. Connecticut Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge volunteers help homeowners graduate from simple lighting improvements to complex projects such as solar installations. In addition, the Energy Coach for the Small Town Energy Program (STEP) walks homeowners through their energy assessments, contractor selections, and financial incentive options.

Knowing that all good relationships are built on trust, Better Buildings partners are teaming up with trusted local organizations to enhance their credibility and reach wider audiences through established community groups and institutions. The Community Power Works program in Seattle, Washington, approached other city offices with outreach experience in the same target neighborhoods to discuss opportunities to build on those existing relationships. NeighborWorks of Western Vermont recruited well-respected Rutland County citizens for its energy efficiency team, recognizing that local residents consider neighbors to be the most trusted messengers. Better Buildings Program San Jose leveraged local, well-known organizations that deliver non-energy services to low-income residents, to provide targeted information on energy upgrades in these San Jose, California locations.

Partners are using "carrotmobs" to get local businesses to sign up for upgrades. A carrotmob is a contest among businesses to see which one will make the biggest commitment to a social cause (in this case, reducing energy use). Customers are then encouraged to support the business that wins the contest over a period of time. This "buycott," as opposed to a "boycott," uses a "carrot" rather than stick approach. SEEA WISE Program partner, Carrboro, North Carolina, recently orchestrated a carrotmob campaign for Earth Day. In Colorado, Carrotmob Boulder was started by students at the University of Colorado, Boulder and CoPIRG Energy Service Corp. Carrotmob Boulder creates local buzz, and EnergySmart provides energy advising services to local businesses.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal Utopia Be No.7 by Buck Pomerantz Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. Focal's dedication to perfection Focal's goal in speaker-making is to attain supreme accuracy in the reproduction of sound, so that your music travels directly to your heart without any coloration or interference. Utopia Be component systems exemplify Focal's dedication to perfection, bringing you performance that focuses your attention completely on the source of your pleasure: the players, their instruments, and the art of the song. Beryllium: 100 times more expensive than gold An inverted dome tweeter, made from pure Beryllium foil, lies at the heart of this Utopia Be speaker system. Lighter and stiffer than titanium or aluminum, Beryllium gives this tweeter accurate and crisp high-frequency response with a smoothness more like silk than metal. This dome reproduces frequencies far beyond the human hearing range, delivering the minute musical details and overtones that make music sound convincingly real. Hand-made woofer cones Focal built the Utopia Be 6-3/4" woofer with a 3-layer cone, consisting of a foam core laminated on both sides with thin sheets of glass fabric. Focal even varies the thickness of the foam core to ensure the absolute accuracy of the woofer's playback across the entire sonic spectrum. The 3" midrange speakers miniature versions of the larger woofers disperse the midrange frequencies that determine the character of the instruments and vocals. The aluminum alloy basket uses an open back to cool the woofer's internal works and to prevent any trapped air from interfering with the cone's motion. Every Focal product and part passes a battery of inspections and tests before, during, and after assembly. The Crossblock crossover network Focal arms its Utopia Be components with their Crossblock, a formidable crossover network that offers a staggering amount of control. The two woofer knobs give you a choice of 10 low-pass frequency settings and 8 different crossover slopes; the tweeter knobs let you select from 7 high-pass frequencies and 8 level selections. In total, the Crossblock gives you 80 woofer settings and 56 tweeter settings so you can tune this magnificent system to perfection in your vehicle. Focal developed the heavy-duty, hand-rolled coils and capacitors that are essential to this crossover's high efficiency and low distortion. Note: This component speaker set consists of a separate woofer, midrange speaker, and tweeter. Our Car Selector checks to make sure the woofer will fit in your factory location. You'll have to custom install the midrange and tweeter. Note: Focal describes this model as a 6-1/2" speaker. Most manufacturers designate this same frame size as a 6-3/4" speaker. For simplicity's sake we list it as a 6-3/4" speaker.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Woofer Midrange Tweeter Crossover Woofer W Cone: The woofer cone is a sandwich composite consisting of a foam core laminated with glass fabric on both sides. The result of this full polymerization is a composite far more rigid than other cone material combinations of equal mass, while still maintaining the excellent damping characteristics of the foam core. Surround: The rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity. Zamak Basket: The woofer features a non-magnetic cast Zamak basket. Zamak is a rigid alloy of Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper. The legs of the frame are filled with high viscosity rubber which absorbs any vibration in the chassis. Voice Coil: The two layer voice coil is wound around a 40mm (1.57") diameter low-mass Black Kapton former, ensuring no coil deformation. Neodymium Magnets: The woofers use Neodymium ring magnets, which have magnetic flux power similar to a ceramic magnet 10 times their size, reducing the size and weight of the speaker. Midrange Cone: Like the woofers, the midrange drivers use W sandwich cones with rubber surrounds, Zamak baskets, and Neodymium magnets. Voice Coil: The voice coil is wound around a 1" diameter low-mass Kapton former, ensuring no coil deformation. Size: The midrange drivers are not a standard size, approximately 3" diameter. It can be top or bottom mounted and has these dimensions: Depth (top mount): 1.41" Mounting height: 0.2" Flange height: 0.2" Depth (bottom mount): 1.61" Tweeter protrusion: 0" (zero) Cutout diameter: 2.87" Frame diameter: 3.46" Tweeter Beryllium Tweeter: The tweeter is an inverted Beryllium dome, producing a broad sound stage. Beryllium is approximately seven times stiffer than titanium with inner damping characteristics similar to silk. Combined with its extreme light weight, these properties make Beryllium an excellent tweeter material. The tweeter has a Neodymium magnet to provide a powerful magnetic field for the voice coil, while still maintaining the tweeter's compact dimensions. Mounting Options: Focal recommends flush mounting and the flush mount cup is built onto the tweeter housing. The included housing also allows surface mounting. Flush Mount Dimensions: Mounting Height 0.50" Depth 0.45" Frame Dimensions 2.12" x 2.87" Cutout Diameter 1.3" Crossover Design: Focal's Crossblock crossover has multiple settings, 4,480 total combinations, allowing you to optimize the system and compensate for the driver locations and the acoustic environment of the specific car.

Pros: Sound like unicorns and angels Cons: Not mud proof 19 out of 46 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Incredible sound, which has it's price Written By JeroenG, Netherlands on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 After seeing the introduction video from Crutchfield I just had to write this review. Unpacking the metal case in which the Kit no 7 is shipped is an unforgettable moment. I have this Kit installed in my car for two years now. I use it with the Focal Utopia BE 33 WX subwoofer and the Focal Dual Direct and Dual Monitor amplifiers. It actually took me more than a year to get the entire system sound well - but then you have something. If you look on the internet you find a lot of users who have some kind of trouble using this kit, for example the tweeters beeing to " crisp" or to " bright" - believe me, these are all symptoms of bad installation. Therefore, if you consider buying this kit, make sure you get expert advice on installation,let experts do the job if you're not sure yourself and keep in mind that expertise is very rare for this absolute top speaker set. Also make sure you have the highest quality of dampening material, power supply, power cables and speaker cables possible - these speakers will reveal any flaw in your sound system. Last but not least use a very precise measurement microphone and RTA software to get the crossblock settings right and keep in mind that you also have to use an equalizer for fine tuning. I use an Earthworks Measurement Microphone and Smaart RTA software for measurement 84 out of 97 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Three aspects of societal needs are addressed to accomplish this mission: Education, Legislation, and Rescue and Rehabilitation. Through Education, we elevate individual standards for animal treatment through direct one-on-one and group contact. Through Legislation, we work towards passage of more humane laws to protect dogs from living at the end of a chain for life or enclosed in a small space with little to no human contact. Through Rescue and Rehabilitation we create better lives for individual dogs by fencing yards, helping with housetraining and fostering, spay / neuter and finding the dog a new inside home and family.

Fashion Pet Pucci Warm Up suit. Have your pooch look like Hollywood's hottest stars in our Spot Pet Products Pucci Couture warm-up. These stylish and sexy hooded velour one piece sweaters are offered in pink and features our signature logo.
X Small: 8-10 inches
1. Measure your pet from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. This measurement is the length needed to determine what size of shirt, sweater, or coat is ideal for your pet.
2. Always go to the next larger size if your measurement is within 1 inch of the maximum.
3. We also recommend to round up to the next size if your pet has a broad chest, bulky build or thick coat.
NOTE: Somewhat loose clothing is more comfortable for your pet and looks better than tight clothing. If in doubt, order the next size larger.

Will Paul McCartney Complete Unfinished Beatles Shows???
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Paul McCartney still wants to finish the discarded Beatles Anthology reunion track, "Now And Then." The tune, which was a late-'70s unfinished John Lennon demo, was given to the Beatles by Yoko Ono along with "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" for consideration as one of the reunion songs. Work only progressed as far as a drum track on the tune, due to a persistent and irremovable buzz, which marred the recording. George Harrison was adamant that the band scrap plans to finish it.
In the new documentary, Mr. Blue Sky: The Story Of Jeff Lynne And ELO, a lighthearted McCartney talks about resurrecting the dumped Beatles track, which along with the other reunion tracks was produced by Jeff Lynne: "And there was another one that we started working on, but George went off it (laughs). So that one's still lingering around somewhere. I'm gonna nick in with Jeff and do it, finish it one of these days."
For the Anthology sessions, the then-surviving Beatles, McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, dubbed "The Threetles" by the British press, spent four sessions between February 1994 and March 1995 attempting to flesh out "Now And Then" along with the eventually released reunion songs "Free As A Bird," and "Real Love."
Lennon's demo for "Now And Then" -- also known as "I Don't Want To Lose You" -- has been available on the underground circuit for years.
George Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, told us that there's probably a good reason why the additional track from Anthology sessions from the mid-'90s has remained unreleased: "Well, I don't know that much about it. But I know that if they thought something wasn't good enough then that's probably the reason no one's heard it. Y'know, if they never got around to it -- sometimes that's it, time runs out."

Sipping wine in your kitchen is an act of routine. Savoring a glass while visiting a Walla Walla Valley winery is the realm of experience. Why such a difference? It could be the warmth of sunshine on your face. Or it might be that panoramic view of the Blue Mountains. Perhaps it's just the soft smiles and welcoming voices of locals who know they are fortunate to call this place home. Let the notable names listed here share a taste of their stories, and encourage you to come join the experience.
Full Winery Listing A-Z.
Our valley is a beautiful oasis amid the vast sagebrush desert that rolls across most of America's northwest interior. The name Walla Walla means "many waters," and it highlights the rivers and aquifers that provide so abundantly for those who discover this place—from the earliest native peoples and French fur trappers to Oregon Trail pioneers and Victorian wheat barons. For each wave of arrivals, the Walla Walla Valley presents a remarkable agricultural bounty. Our wine industry continues this rich legacy, and you can explore why through the links listed below.
