The Authors Quill todays guest or winners of The L Ron Hubbard writers and illustrators of the Future contest guest Josie Moore Roddy Taylor Karah Richardson Tracy Eire Josie Moore grew up in the valley town of Westfield, Massachusetts with a voice that wouldn't work and a brain filled to bursting. Paranoid by the world and abandoned by those around her, she turned to art in her time of hiding. When she was scared, she wrote about it. When she cried, she drew comforting pictures. With the inability to pinpoint and process her own emotions, she used art and storytelling as her communication, turning her fear into something beautiful. Nowadays, she can finally leave her bedroom, but never without a sketchbook by her side. She attends the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in hopes of getting her BFA in Illustration. She spends her days doodling elves, bears, and silly little faeries and nights writing, planning, and…hopefully writing some more. Finally having an outlet to put all her obsessive, creative energy, she dreams of one day showing even the deepest crevices of her mind with her odd love stories and twisted mysteries. Roddy Taylor is a former high school science teacher, who decided to become a full-time artist and illustrator. He and his wife moved to Ellensburg six years ago after his son was born and fell in love with the place. Since deciding to go full-time with his art, he has developed his previous love for mythology, nature, and fantasy themes. His most recent accolades involve winning Best of Show at the Kittitas County Fair twice. His work has shown often at Gallery One in Ellensburg, including a solo show in the Fall of 2024. It was a fairly short wordcount bio. Find out more about Roddy at,… RoddyTaylorArt.com Karah Richardson was born in 2007, spending much of her childhood moving to and exploring new states across America. She met a variety of people though having prosopagnosia (face blindness) made recognizing them a challenge. Karah loves challenges. Growing up, she had a fascination with studying faces, assuming that she could “learn” how to memorize family and friends by drawing them over and over. This led to a lifelong love of art. She'd blend together a wide variety of separate features and piece them together like a puzzle, relying on others to tell her if it looks “correct.” Due to such an early start on such a potent hobby in her life, she quickly discovered many teachers, family, and friends wanted to encourage her to cultivate this study into a real-life Tracy Eire grew up far to the north in a place called Newfoundland. She has spent most of her life with one foot in the real world and the other somewhere else—maybe on Mercury, maybe in the realm of myth, or ... somewhere near Hobbiton. It's a place where stories breathe, where the old gods whisper, and where women step out of the fog wearing their strength and brilliance plainly. That is the space her art comes from. An oil and charcoal artist with a deep love for narrative painting, Tracy focuses on portraits of women who feel ancient and modern all at once. These are figures who carry storms behind their eyes, but choose the light anyway. She often paints the things she sought—or witnessed—in her youth: courage, grace, grit, and the quiet power of women who refused to disappear, even when maligned. It's no wonder her harpies wear couture. United Public Radio & UFO Paranormal Radio www.uprntalkradio.com

A new Department of Ecology report finds that more than half of 2025 Climate Commitment Act project spending went to electrifying the Washington State Ferries fleet, including hundreds of millions of dollars for new hybrid vessels and terminal charging infrastructure, while Ecology touts an estimated nine million metric tons of carbon reductions over the last two fiscal years. Critics such as Washington Policy Center's Todd Myers are questioning whether some projects' reported reductions and cost-per-ton figures are realistic, pointing to examples like an Ellensburg home electrification program that Ecology credits with 3.5 million metric tons of reductions at just one dollar per ton. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/half-of-2025-cca-spending-went-toward-wsf-fleet-electrification/ #WashingtonState #ClimateCommitmentAct #WSFerries #CarbonPolicy #Ecology #WAleg #ClimateSpending #EmissionReductions

Fall 2025 Message Series at Chi Alpha!

Playoffs in full swing here in the county. Ellensburg and Cle Elum crosscountry wrap up state. Volleyball, Girls Soccer, and Football kick off state tournament action this week. We have a big conversation about seeding and the process that takes place.    3:15 Cross Country State recap 12:00 State RPI seedings and state tournament preview. 38:00 CWU Athletics

A metal kid grows up on thrash and stadium riffs, then finds himself writing country songs on a beat-up acoustic. That's where our conversation with Jared Graham begins—somewhere between distortion and dust, showmanship and bare-boned truth—and it doesn't let up until the last chord rings.We trade stories about the albums that rewired our ears—early Metallica, the maligned but meaningful Saint Anger, and the Red Dirt records that sneak up on you with brutal honesty. Jared opens up about bombing out of a formal music track, switching majors, and refusing to quit the guitar. The pandemic pause gave him space to write; the return to stages—from winery barns to Montana saloons—taught him how to read a room, shift gears mid-set, and end with a song that matters to his family. If you've ever fought for a booking by sheer persistence, or felt that jolt when a crowd locks in and the set starts feeding on itself, you'll recognize his path.We tour the Northwest circuit—Long Branch's songwriter rounds, Ellensburg's WinterHop, Tri-Cities breweries that turn taps into stages—and swap notes on live presence from Slayer's velocity to Demon Hunter's surprise catharsis to Sturgill Simpson's relentless focus. Along the way, we dig into why rock-to-country isn't a sellout move but a search for a fuller language: metal names the rage, country names the ache, and together they feel like real life.If you love genre-bending artists, gritty lyrics, and the DIY hustle behind every “yes,” this one's for you. Hit play, then tell us the show that changed you—and where Jared should play next.

It started with the burned trees. My kid being in school down in Portland means that every month or so I make the four-hour drive to see him. Part of that drive takes me over Satus Pass, a landscape that moves from sagebrush into forests of ponderosa and scrub oak and aspen. There are fires. Often. As a result, there are patches of trees that were burned years ago, and which over time still stand, their branches stripped, the burned bark still clinging, the bare white of the inner wood gleaming in late afternoon light like the flash of teeth. Every time I drive by these stands (there are several on the way to Portland), I gorge myself on the sight. They fascinate me. They begged me to explore their shapes through visual art, and who am I to deny the raw beauty of such a thing?It came to me to construct fiber sculptures, inspired in part by the work of Clarissa Callesen, whose exhibit last year in Bellingham WA blew my everloving mind. My idea coalesced and took shape. I had to have a place to install this idea of mine, so I pitched it to Karl Schweisow at The Palace Gallery and he was game to host a show about wildfires. I called it Pyrocene: the age of fire. I invited some excellent artists to participate, and to my delight, they stepped up. Eighteen artists contributed to exploring the theme of megafires: how they affect us, what they destroy, what they create, how we can think about this climate phenomenon without despairing or blackening with rage. Until we make some major policy changes and commit the resources to treating the forest, rather than investing our limited forestry resources on just putting out these massive fires that erupt from the Rockies to the Pacific in such numbers and with such ferocity that the smoke darkens the continent; until we decide that humans aren't the only life forms that inhabit this planet and that we need to start prioritizing the health of the biosphere before there isn't one; until we rethink our choices of where to live and where to channel our scarce water; and until or if we ever collectively step back from the economic and capitalist factors that are disrupting the delicate balances of our climate, the forests will burn. And burn. It is an obliterating sight. A few days back I was walking in one of our local canyons, the Taneum. The wind was softly speaking in the trees. There were all manner of wildflowers: wild rose, fireweed, dwarf daisies, and the smell of the fresh earth was something I wished I could bottle. It was the definition of serenity. The path was shaded and cool, the taste of water in the air. There were small animals scrabbling in the underbrush, a grouse thumping in the distance. Such gentle, quiet, all-encompassing life. When that burns, it's stripped to powdered emptiness. Stark. Black. Dead. Barren. The sun standing on top of you, bearing down. Silent. So much is lost. Yes, fire is part of the natural ecology in this landscape. But megafires are something else. They burn so hot that they sterilize the earth for up to three hundred years. They create their own weather. They chew their own tails, building on their own intensity beyond anything that humans, or certainly the wildlife who live there, can do much of anything about. They're murderous creatures on a rampage, and we're the ones who feed them. Do I know what to do about any of this? I do not. Say hello to another hand-wringing environmentalist over here. I make modest donations, I have spirited conversations within the echo chambers of my like-minded friends. None of that will change much of anything. But what I can do, what all artists do, is witness. Witness the magnificence of the forest. Witness the nodding Indian paintbrush in the soft June breeze. Witness the impact of the fires that come and come and come. Speak to those fires, speak about them, make the art, show the art. This is what Pyrocene is. It is the artist's response to the era of megafires. If you're in the Ellensburg area and would like to experience this collection live, and believe me, you would, then The Palace Gallery is open Saturdays from noon to 4p and by appointment. That's this Saturday (Solstice!) and next Saturday. It's worth adding to your Saturday roster. Seriously. And if that's a no-go, then please do enjoy the video walkthrough above.
