WAITSBURG—For Nancy Bickelhaupt, preparing students for life has been both a pleasure and a passion. The Waitsburg High School Family and Consumer Science teacher will retire this spring but will undoubtedly continue to make her mark on the community. Nancy grew up in Walla Walla and graduated from Wa-Hi in 1972 before heading to Washington State University where she double-majored in home economics and education. She met Waitsburg farmer Dan Bickelhaupt and the couple married while she was s...

POMEROY-Area anglers have been pulling in some big ones at the freshly stocked lakes just past the Last Resort campgrounds, located at 2005 Tucannon Road.

They are starting their sixth...

DAYTON-The DW softball team continued its great play on the season, scoring early and often against Lyle-Wishram on April 25. After giving up a run in the top of the first, DW batted around three times in the bottom of the first. With two outs and already ten runs in they would go through a stretch of ten consecutive batters reaching base and scoring runs, making the lead 20-1. At this point the DW coaching staff had a runner intentionally leave early out of sportsmanship to end the inning. The...
RITZVILLE—The DW track and field team traveled to Lind-Rtizville High School for the Udeberg Invitational on April 27, where high winds and hail made for a tough day on the field. “Weather had a huge impact with winds averaging 20-25 mph, gusts up to 40, and hail. Our athletes put forth one hundred percent and were competitive in their events. We had two athletes consistently in the top 10 of their events, Kirsten Miller and Mason Finney. Overall, we are very happy with the performance of the team; they represented our community very well, sai...
WALLA WALLA-Four area players from the golf team were invited Wednesday April 24th to the Wine Valley Invitational. Ashton Phinney and McKellyn Bradham represented DW while Evan Harvill and Will Neylon represented Columbia Burbank. "Ashton played well but ended up taking too many putts. McKellyn blew up on the front nine but finally relaxed and played probably his best nine holes on the back. Will found some trouble in the sand on the first two holes which hurt his score on an otherwise solid ro...
