WAITSBURG - An un- usual governor-mandated burn ban in all counties followed by a spurt of wet, windy weather has frustrated local farmers who are afraid they won't get their seed in the ground before the cold weather sets in. Both Walla Walla and Columbia counties had been under a local burn ban since early July. These local burn bans are annual bans set by the area fire districts, and farmers must wait every year until these bans are lifted to do any agricultural burning. And at the end of September, when the local fire districts lifted their...
DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldog soccer team took on the Northport Mustangs at St. George in Spokane last Saturday and were met with success, taking a 6-4 victory over the Mustangs. In the first half, the Mus- tangs scored the first point on a penalty kick. The Bulldogs adjusted to the deficit and responded with strong defense. The Bulldogs' usual keeper, Wil- lie Weppler, was out with a broken thumb and was replaced this game by Ian Smay. Smay fought hard, head coach DJ Frame said. "(Smay) did a good job," Frame said. "I liked how he performed for... Full story

PASCO - Momentum was the name of the game Friday for the Dayton football team and something the Dogs couldn't pick up against the Tri-Cities Prep Jaguars, falling in a heartbreaking loss, 42-0. In the first quarter, the Bulldogs were able to keep the Jaguars to one touchdown although the Bulldogs were unable to take the ball into the end zone. The Bulldogs, running with several injured players, were able to save their errors and keep the Jaguars out of the end zone for any more scores. Th...
WAITSBURG - Waits- burg-Prescott's first-string defense held Mabton to minus 31 yards of rushing and minus 3 yards passing, en route to a 54-8 homecoming drubbing of the visiting Vikings here Friday. Mabton recorded no first downs versus WP's no. 1 defense, fumbled twice, and ran only four plays for positive yardage. WP's starters played just half the game, and their dominant perfor- mance on both offense and defense forced the 40-point running clock rule for the entire second half. WP's initial scoring came early and often. The Cards put 26... Full story
PRESCOTT - The two beasts of the east in Class 1B/2B soccer played to a 1-1 draw here Friday afternoon. Though a tie may sound boring, the undefeated St. George team and two-loss Waitsburg-Prescott team made it one of the more suspenseful matches of the season. WP controlled the tempo and attacked the tall, defen- sively-minded Dragons the entire game. The Tigers put the initial pressure to the visitors with a series of corner kick chances 10 minutes in. Jonny Es- calante caught up to a loose ba... Full story
WAITSBURG - Both WP and Dayton showed up on Kison Court ready to play last Tuesday night, but Dayton had more en- ergy and took the win in four sets, 25-23, 25-27, 25-17, 25-17. The Lady Cardinals won the second of the four sets. WP head coach Angie Potts said Tuesday night her team played well because they're work- ing better together on the court. "They're playing as a team now, which I think is the differ- ence," she said. The first set of the night was plagued early on with serving errors...

DAYTON - Once a month, the Dayton shooting range goes back in time and hosts a group of shooters for an event known as Cowboy Action. Last Saturday the cowboys were back, hosted by the Columbia County Shooting Association.

WAITSBURG - As cold weather sets in, more fami- lies struggle to make ends meet and more families are turning up needing extra food at the Waitsburg Resource Center. Pastor Bret Moser of the Waitsburg Presbyterian Church said the center is now helping 10 more fami- lies than it did at this time in 2011. Bethany Moser, the chairwoman of the board for the center, said as of Septem- ber, the center is providing food and household necessities to 65 families in the Waitsburg area, or a total of 157...
Like a Chagall painting, broad strokes of crim- son red and golden hues brighten the countryside. The winds of change are upon us with familiar fall smells of pot roast, cinnamon apples and nettles after a light rain. This is the time of year when anything is possible. This Week's Wine: Cavu Cellars '09 Cabernet Sauvignon, $35 a bottle at Cavu Cellars. This wine is a deliberate red packed in complex tannins roll- ing in rich concentrates and a long silky finish.

Ten Years Ago October 17, 2002 Sunday night was a smoky one for Waitsburg as three haystacks at the eastern city limits went up in flames, and a lot of smoke, which settled in the valley on the clear, calm night. The haystacks, about half straw and half hay, were accidently ignited by an errant spark form construction work being performed nearby. Damages was estimated to be about $16,000 for the roughly 3,000 bales of uninsured straw and a like amount of hay bales, including barley, oat and alfalfa hay. Twenty-Five Years Ago October 18, 1987...
We live in an age of "low drama." Not the high drama of large movements or of a renaissance, but more of small, inward- pointing, divisive motivations, sometimes vicious and often without discernible cause. The world seems dif- ficult and treacherous. The wheat market has reflected such a pattern since the climax of high prices driven by drought during the summer that ended in late July. Prices have moved in sudden jumps, stops and starts in a moderate, $1 per bushel range. In the last week, Chicago wheat established the lowest price point...
