Yellow delicious apples are one of many fruits and vegetables in Becky Woodhouse’s garden near Oakley. Woodhouse has tried gar- dening for 10 years, but this year has been the best yet now that she has mastered weed control.

Becky Woodhouse says it’s great being able to walk out of her house to grab fresh fruits and vegetables for meals.

The coach also has apol- ogized for using a gay slur during a media briefing last month at the WAC football McMackin Diondre preview in Salt Lake City.
