Paul Turner: As darkness descends on the Northwest, get outside to beat the blues
Before you dismiss the idea of wintertime blues as some weak-kneed nonsense foisted on us hardy Northwesterners by trembling transplanted Californians, you might want to consider this: We all know that the farther north you are, the less sunlight you see this time of year.
But some of us forget just how far north Spokane is. So let me remind you.
Spokane is farther north than Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax.

Maine gov to Canadians: Trump ‘truly believes’ in free trade
Maine's Republican governor reassured Canadian leaders Monday that President Donald Trump "truly believes" in having free trade and they shouldn't read too much into what they hear.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of one of the country's leading teachers' unions charged Thursday that school choice, a key policy agenda of the Trump administration, is rooted in segregation and racism.
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, the nation's second largest teachers' group, said that decades ago school choice was used by officials in the South to resist desegregation.
She has four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Why spaghetti primavera? And why now? In the 1980s this dish became insanely popular and variation upon variation appeared in cookbooks, national food magazines, and newspapers. Cooks took all sorts of liberties with the dish, even tossing in out-of-season ingredients including red bell peppers and winter squash. The name primavera (spring) became meaningless.
