Theater has been a love of mine since I first hit the stage at Wa-Hi in 2001. As I went on to college at the University of Idaho in 2005, I tried to ignore this crazed love in order to focus on a teaching degree. But after a semester of wandering around cam- pus with no script in my hands, the gnawing in my gut steered me over to the theater arts building. There, I struck a compromise with myself: get the teaching cer- tificate, and minor in drama. It was one of the best deci- sions I have ever made. As we approach the summer months, I am delig...
[Editor's Note: Emma informed us at the very last minute that she would not have a column this week. That's about what we expect from high school students. Following is her explana- tion.] H ey there! If you're looking forward to reading my column this week, I've got some bad news for you - I was so busy that I couldn't really write one. You see, the day my col- umn needed to be turned in to the editor, I had this big long honkin' standardized test. It's an AP test, meaning that the class it covers (AP Environmental Science) is worth college...
The upcoming Waitsburg Celebration promises to be a smorgasbord of festivities, from the colorful, prideful Main Street parade to the much-anticipated homecoming concert by the Frog Hollow Band. Add to that the Classic Auto Show, the mayor's luncheon and the brandspanking new ranch horse racing at the grand stand, and Saturday looks like the heart of the Days of Real Sport centennial. Don't be fooled, kids! On the face of it, Sunday's schedule looks more relaxed. But you can't miss out on the...
An article in last week's Times incorrectly stated that Day- ton City Council member Arthur Hall is moving to Tri-Cities. Hall is resigning from the Dayton Council effective May 31. However, while he and his wife are working in Richland during the week, they remain Dayton residents. Hall says he is leaving the council because he cannot de- vote the time to the position to make a difference and feels that he cannot adequately represent the citizens of Dayton. We regret the error....
I s a city council meeting an "event"? Find out Monday, when the Dayton City Council considers a proposal to enact a "Special Events Permit" process for residents of Dayton. As we reported in our April 25th issue, we have some questions about what the city will consider an "event", and why the permit is even necessary. If you have questions too, plan to attend....
Event season in the Touchet Valley is just around the cor- ner. First up on the agenda is the Waitsburg Celebration Days, taking place May 17 through 19. Next week's Times will be a special commemorative issue covering Waitsburg's celebration Days. We'll talk to many of the people that are making this new event happen, and we'll include a complete schedule of events. After next weekend, there are many more events to come in the Touchet Valley. The Dayton Days Parade starts the summer off in Dayton, taking place Saturday, May 25. Below is a...
WAITSBURG - On a sunny Tuesday afternoon last week, Waitsburg Cel- ebration co-organizer Lisa Naylor got a taste of what's to come on the third weekend in May when the town marks the first century of its downhome "one-of-a- kind" horse extravaganza, the Days of Real Sport. In the shade of the grand stand at the fairgrounds, somebody flung a hat down and three cowgirls launched their mounts around the track, hoofs thrashing the soft dirt, smiles flying above the saddles. "The expression on these...
DAYTON - The Colum- bia County Commissioners last week voted unanimously to reject a plan to create a joint planning commission that would serve both Co- lumbia County and the City of Dayton. A tentative agreement to combine the commissions was worked out last month between Commis- sioner Mike Talbott and City Council member Arthur Hall, who is chair of the council's planning committee. The Planning commission is an advisory board that makes recommendations to the city council or county...
