WAITSBURG-Waitsburg Commercial Club responded to requests from home base businesses and formulated a plan to support area entrepreneurs by providing a space for work and sales in Town Hall on a pop-up basis.

Smith said that even though there are many empty buildings in Waitsburg, many are in need of repair or the rent is beyond the budget of a small business owner....

DAYTON-The DW Girls softball team played a doubleheader Sat. March 30 against Mabton and won both games. The two games, however, couldn't have been more different. In game one, Mabton left the bases loaded in the first inning and DW didn't manage to score, either. Mabton seemed to have the momentum early but left base runners stranded inning after inning. Then, in the home half of the third, the DW bats woke up to score four runs. They would add six more in the fourth to end the game 10-0....

RICHLAND-The DW tracksters made a good showing at the Clay Lewis Invitational at the Hanford High Track in Richland on Sat., March 30. "The kids did great. We had several PRs in various events. Mason Finney set a PR in the 3200 m race, beating his previous record by over 15 seconds. This year's odd weather put a strain on training, but the athletes have been putting in the work to succeed and we are seeing that payoff at the meets. Saturday's meet, the kids ran against some really great teams,...
PASCO-On Tues., March 26, the DW baseball team played a doubleheader against Tri-Cities Prep. The boys looked a little rusty in their first two games of the season.

Game two was highlighted by a 4th inning Jack Willis single, #12 Johnny Wyatt RBI double, and #20 Ashton Loper RBI single, accounting for all of DW's scoring. They would go on to lose game two...
WALLA WALLA-The DW golf team played at Wine Valley on Wed., March 27, then at the Walla Walla Country Club on Thurs., March 28. McKellyn Bradham continued his strong play with two more top ten finishes this week. Cold wet weather and challenging greens at Wine Valley likely contributed to higher scores on Wednesday. Kiya McCaw was noticeably limping from a pre-season knee injury as she finished her round, still smiling, at Wine Valley. "Every one of our golfers have shot better scores than they...

COLUMBIA & SNAKE RIVERS, Wash. & Ore.—A gap in the federal contract that provides fish counting services will mean a delay in the web-posting of the counts of adult salmon passing through U.S. Army Corps of Engineers fish ladders this spring. A contract with Normandeau Associates of Bedford, N.H. ended Feb. 28, 2019 and a new fish-counting contract was competitively sourced and awarded to Four Peaks Environmental Science & Data Solutions from Wenatchee, Wash. The new contractor was scheduled t...
A couple of things while I am thinking about it. First, part of my job is proofreading the paper before it gets printed. Obviously, I don't proofread my own recipes as someone pointed out that last week's recipe, the pound cake, had 5-75 minutes baking time, not 50-75 minutes. She laughed, as at least that mistake was obvious. I will try to be a little more attentive to my typing. Also, I thought the pound cake took a lot of eggs (8),but Sylvia made one for the church coffee hour that took 10...
DAYTON-The Touchet Valley Golf Course is open for the season, with a new fee schedule that makes an already enjoyable course even that much more pleasurable. Previously, greens fees were $18 for nine holes and $22 for 18 holes. Now, a flat $20 fee gets all-day play. Power carts can be rented for $15. "One of the greatest things about this course is that it is so playable for all levels of players. It's a shorter course, that still challenging. It's walkable, and really, really good for seniors...
