Brian Lumsden, owner of B’s Rubs, in his classroom at Othello High School, where he teaches civics and history. Behind him is a wall of photos and letters from former students which Lumsden said reminds him of why he teaches in the first place. “That’s my wall of inspiration,” he said.

B's Rubs: Othello teacher has spices for all occasions
OTHELLO, WASH. — When you step into the large garage space occupied by B’s Rubs at the Port of Othello’s business incubator, the first thing that hits you is the scent.

Almost.
