WAITSBURG - One Waitsburg property and business owner decided not having the city pool open on Saturdays was negative for the commu- nity and he has ponied up the cash to keep kids and families cool in the pool for every Saturday the rest of the summer. Charles Smith, who owns the Anchor Bar in Waitsburg and Charles Smith Wines in Walla Walla, said at the city council meeting last Wednesday he will pay for the Saturday pool costs to keep it available to the community on the week- ends....
Harvest is late again this year. There's been rust in the fields. A series of recent thunder storms has done its damage to some area acreage. So why are Touchet Valley farmers smiling?

Pacific Power & Light was expected to be hanging the lights on the new poles Tues- day, July 24 at 9 a.m. How- ever, Mohney said Tuesday the power...
WAITSBURG - After five months of weighing different options for how to remove the dilapidated bunk house from city land, three parties interest- ed in the property may come up with a solution that puts money in the city coffers and actually could make everyone happy. The bunk house, formerly an apple-packing plant that collapsed in a storm in late 2011, was previously believed to contain asbestos or lead and removing it could have been costly for the city. In March, the council learned there was little or no toxicity from asbestos or lead and...
