Dear Editor, What is on my mind and beating on my ears is the noise created by the loud music (if that's what you call it) and roaring vehicles of young guys who have no respect for others. I can't use my front bedroom, except when I have guests I have to. It doesn't do any good to call the Sheriff's Office. They make a friendly visit and nothing changes. The punks roar up and down the street right past a Deputy's home. This happens as late as 10:30 at night. A recent morning it was 1:30. It goes on day and night in the garage that is a magnet...
Dear Editor, Karen and I are wrapping up our third year in business as Waitsburg Cottages, and have heard many wonder- ful compliments from our guests, who occasionally take the time to post their re- views online. This comment was so genuinely joyful that we felt it should be shared with the entire community. "We knew we were enter- ing a special place when we arrived in Waitsburg--a town with no stop lights, and endless sidewalks; a town where you can walk as long as you want, alone, day or night, with no worry or fear, and where you are...
OLYMPIA - Washing- ton's leading agricultural groups representing tens of thousands of family farmers and food processors throughout the state have announced their strong opposition to Ini- tiative 522, calling it a costly, unfair and misleading food labeling measure. More than 30 agricultural groups and growers' organi- zations throughout the state, representing thousands of family farmers, have joined a broad coalition that has come together to defeat the measure, which will appear before voters on the Novem- ber 2013 statewide ballot....
A n idyllic English classroom sits on the third floor of a ven- erable high school. Its tall windows are open and au- tumn sunlight spills over the semicircle of gray Formica tables where a handful of earnest eleventh-grade schol- ars discuss the latest turn of events in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible." Lopsided piles of candy-colored binders and textbooks teeter at the elbows of each student in the classroom, and the big round clock on the wall above the teacher's desk displays a time...
A s The Times was going to press this week, our subscribers in Dayton and Walla Walla were still patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) wait- ing for last week's edition to arrive in their mailboxes. As of Tuesday, several hundred copies of The Times were lost somewhere in Post Office-land. We are working to find them and we will do everything we can to get our readers outside of Waitsburg their belated copies of the October 10 issue of the paper. Until now, when we delivered papers to the Waitsburg Post Office, the copies addressed to...
Why bother voting? There is a slew of races for local positions on this year's ballot for the gen- eral election, but none of them are contested. So we already know who's going to win. Well, okay, there's one contested judicial election, but heck, we've never heard of either of those guys. So who cares? There are a couple of state-wide initiatives, but nobody really pays any attention to those either. And anyway, who cares? Well, here at The Times, actually, we care. We go to a lot of city council and school board and hospital board meetings. M...

Columbia County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Dian Ver Va...
DAYTON - The Dayton Schools Facilities Committee on Tuesday decided to delay making a recommendation to the Dayton School Board for a construction bond levy to finance major reconstruction at the schools. The District will not put a levy request before voters in February, as originally expected. According to a statement issued by Superintendent Doug Johnson, at the committee's October 8th meeting, the group determined that they need more public input before moving forward. He said that,...
WAITSBURG - Final voting day for the 2013 General Election is November 5, but mail-in ballots are on their way to voters in Walla Walla and Columbia Counties. This year's election features two state-wide initiatives - one designed to change the initiative process itself, and the other to add new labeling requirements to genetically modified foods. Also on the ballot is one judicial race - for completion of an unexpired term for the Washington State Court of Appeals. Judge George Fearing was appointed in May to fill the six-year term of Den...
