Wahluke improves, still falls, 50-37, in football
MATTAWA – It may seem odd to say a team is improving when it loses a football game, 50-37, but that’s how Wahluke High coach Mike Foristiere assessed things after last Friday’s loss at Cle Elum.
UN atomic watchdog: N Korea still enriching uranium
BERLIN (AP) — There are no signs that North Korea has been reprocessing fuel from its main nuclear reactor into plutonium over the past year, but Pyongyang appears to still be enriching uranium, which could potentially be used in a nuclear weapon, the U.N.'s atomic watchdog said Wednesday.
Moving On
Locomotive 557, a steam engine once owned by local legend Monty Holm, will move across West Broadway Avenue onto private property Thursday afternoon. This is the first leg of a journey that will take the engine to Whittier, Alaska, where it will be restored after spending the past 56 years in Moses Lake. See Friday's Columbia Basin Herald for the full story.

Cooking veggies without boiling away the goodness
As a kid, I had my share of vegetables, all somehow cooked in boiling water, drained, and served. I’m not blaming anyone about it, as that is how veggies were cooked back then.

WSU develops new biogas process
RICHLAND — A Washington State University research team has developed a new method to treat sewage sludge and turn it into biogas – methane – that could help reduce the cost of waste treatment and help the environment, according to a WSU press release. The process involves adding oxygen-rich, high-pressure steam to help break down and convert as much as 85% of the sludge to biogas, which can be burned in the same way natural gas is burned, to generate heat and electricity, the press release said. Most wastewater treatment plants in the United States utilize an anaerobic digestion process in which bacteria, with no oxygen present, break down sewage waste. However, according to the press release, the process is inefficient and creates a fair amount of sludge, much of which is dried and carted to landfills. The high-pressure steam is added before anaerobic digestion, the press said, allowing oxygen to act as a catalyst in breaking down complex molecules. “This is not a very high-tech solution,” said Birgitte Ahring, an engineering professor at WSU. “It’s actually a solution that can be useful even at small scale. The efficiency has to be high or else you cannot warrant adding the extra costs to the process.” WSU is working with Richland-area clean-tech startup Clean-Vantage to help further develop and commercialize the technology, which was funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Volcano erupts on Hawaii's Big Island, produces steam cloud
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on the Big Island erupted and shot a steam and ash cloud into the atmosphere that lasted about an hour, an official with the National Weather Service said early Monday.
New bill would be a positive step on climate change
A recent UN report (source: Seattle Times, Oct. 9) stated that if earth’s overall temperature rises another half-degree Celsius, millions are headed to major disasters. Sorry to be a prophet of doom, but catastrophes such as recently in California may become more common; Miami and other low-lying coastal places could be flooded (source: PBS, “Sinking cities”), water shortages will intensify and many coral reefs will likely die. Washington state voters decided Initiative 1631 wasn’t a right answer to “weather weirding,” but the challenge didn’t go away.
