OTHELLO — Lavish 31 held a fashion show Friday evening to celebrate its opening and highlight the clothing lines the store carries.
“Owning a boutique has been something that I wanted to do for over 20 years,” said owner Amy Dominguez. “I kind of put it off to the side and recently we started dreaming about it again and we made the decision of doing it.”
The fashion show was held at 6 p.m. on the upper terrace of the store's building. People from around the Basin were invited to spectate or model.
“I was trying to think of what we could do to showcase all the different clothes because I think that you can pick one item and wear it several different ways,” said Dominguez.
The models showed off clothing items such as dresses, bags, risen jeans, trench coats and cozy items for women. A line of clothing for men is available at the shop from a local brand Seek Selective Company by Cain Muro, she said. Muro started his company late last year where he designs all the clothing and donates 15% of all profits to charity.
The show also featured offerings by Sassy Sodas, a soda shop toward the back of the store where customers can add whatever syrups and purees they want to a base and even create their own mocktails, she said.
“I just wanted to create a space where people not only shop, but come just to hang out too,” she said.

YAKIMA — The Warden Cougars’ softball season came to a close Friday in the quarterfinals of the 2B State Tournament after falling in a tight matchup against Rainier 13-10. Even with a loss the Cougars were proud of the successes they made this season. “It went well,” said Head Coach Randy Wright. “We’re a young team; we hung right in there in both games, but in the end the mistakes kind of cost us. We played well, but they had some big innings against us.”

ACH falls into consolation bracket in state softball tournament
YAKIMA — The Almira/Coulee-Hartline Warriors fell 5-8 in the quarterfinal bracket to the Colton Wildcats during the 1B State tournament. With this loss, the Warriors continue their state bid in the consolation bracket as they battle for a chance at third place. “We came out strong as we needed to, got three runs in that first inning, and we shut them down,” said Warriors head coach Faye Butler. “Then I think the nerves and all the excitement got to us, did a couple overthrows and they had a good rally on us.” The Warriors started off strong with the three runs in the bottom of the first inning to gain a substantial lead over their opponent. ACH maintained this lead until the third inning as Colton tied up the score with three runs of their own.
