ARTICLE
Liz Keyser has harvested grapes on the southern coast of Australia and the Willamette Valley region of Oregon and worked as an assistant winemaker in Napa Valley.
Now, as the new winemaker at Rocky Pond Winery in Washington, she feels she has returned, in a sense, to her roots in the Finger Lakes some 2,500 miles away.
Amid the vineyards rising from the Columbia River, Liz, 34, has found the same mix of wine-making potential and community she enjoyed while enrolled in FLCC’s viticulture and wine technology program.

Creative Uses for Coffee Grounds
For many of us, the day doesn’t start until we have finished that first cup of Joe. Depending on how you brew the beverage, you can be left with grounds. Yes, you can add them to your compost pile, but there can be other uses. Read More.

R.I.C.E and M.E.A.T
Sprains and strains happen frequently and all too easily. If you have experienced these, you probably have heard of R.I.C.E., Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. If you have significant pain or swelling, or your symptoms worsen, seek medical attention. Read More.

Asparagus
Springtime heralds one of the tastiest vegetables…asparagus.
Originally classified with onions and garlic, people who do these things have re-classified it as itself. It is high in water content, over 90%, so there is little food energy but it makes up for it in fiber, vitamins (B, C, E, K) and minerals (beta-carotene, iron, niacin, thiamin). Read More.
