When the wheat market jumps 44 cents in one session, as Chicago wheat did last Friday, Sept. 28, and then turns back down 33 cents per bushel over the next couple of days, most wheat producers or owners just shake their heads and sigh. What is the appropriate behavior when a market seems crazy? Even with all this "shake, rattle and roll" the trend has not changed. It is pretty clear that if the price of wheat climbs up to or just above $9 per bushel in Chicago (about $8.90 for white wheat), there are willing sellers waiting. By the same token,...

Dear Editor, While visiting Waitsburg recently, I read with interest your front page story in the Sept. 20 issue, "Meals Leav- ing Kids Hungry", as well as the related editorial. The Healthy, Hunger- Free Kids Act of 2010 in- cludes guidelines for the federal School Breakfast and School Lunch Programs, and are being implemented this school year. Many of these guidelines have been recom- mended in past years, but not required until now. The changes are to make school meals more closely fit the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans...
Connecting with Cathy: Facing the "Fiscal Cliff" By Rep. Cathy Mc- Morris Rodgers Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke made another appearance on Capitol Hill to warn Congress about what will happen if we fail to take action to stimulate our sluggish economy. The impend- ing "fiscal cliff" - a term he famously coined just months ago - is perilous, and it is looming. In fact, Bernanke warned us that failure to address it by the end of the year would have such grave economic effects...
You can't keep a good man down. And in this case, it's a couple. Tom and Anita Baker, the grand force behind The Times for 27 years from 1964 to 1991, showed up briefly at the annual convention of the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association in Yakima last Thursday. Their presence at the opening reception delighted the attendees, and for good reason. During their many years at The Times and beyond, they were as grand a force in the WNPA as they were in the Waitsburg community. And even now, well into their retirement, they remain involved...

"In order to consider Waitsburg for expansion in the future, we need more acres," McConnell said. " The opportunity was...

SEATTLE - Kirby Kallas-Lewis wanted to operate his boutique distillery in Waitsburg. He and his wife KT Niehoff bought the Lounda- gin Building on Main Street four years ago to redevelop as a hotel just at the time Kallas-Lewis began to take an interest in making spirits. For a while he explored the idea of setting up his operation in the basement. Regulations for a distillery on the premises of a lodging establishment, however, proved tough. So, he abandoned his vision for the distillery,...
