The process of planning a Homecoming - at least in the case of my class - is something akin to filling a reactor with random particles and waiting for some new element to reach critical mass. Our meetings on the topic are chaotic at best, with ideas being spewed out from all different directions and no semblance of order, save a cowed-looking class officer jotting everything down on the nearest available whiteboard. When plans start to crystallize, though, we all get pretty excited. I would...
Snowballs roll downhill, and that's where the entire healthcare system in the Touchet Valley will head if upgrades aren't made soon to Dayton General Hospital. That's the message supporters of a bond levy measure in front of voters this fall are sending us. The levy will, if passed, allow the Columbia County Health System to modernize and reconfigure the Dayton General Hospital building. These changes will put nursing and dietary employees much closer to the patients and residents they serve, and they will increase the level of associated...

WAITSBURG - The Waitsburg Resource Center (WRC) has come a long way from the dark and crowded food bank that once operated in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. The center, a cooperative ministry of the Waitsburg Christian, Presbyterian and Catholic churches moved to its current home, a well-lit, easily accessible space in the AmericanWest Bank building, in early 2011. The center began receiving commodities under the Federal Food Assistance Program, channeled through the Blue Mountain Action Council, in March of that year and has...
DAYTON - Would a hiker need a permit to take photos while walking the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness -- the roughly 176,500 acres located in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon?
