DAYTON - After two successful years of Mule Mania, one of Dayton's newest summer events, two local charities are reaping rewards from the weekend. The Columbia Rural Electric Association donated $500 each to the Dayton Food Bank and Project Timothy as a token of gratitude and support for the two groups. The money was raised during the Mule Mania golf tournament, organizer Doug Krueger said. "It was a fun event," Krueger said. "Usually the winner donates the winnings to the food bank." While p...

DAYTON - The Day- ton soccer team took the field against Walla Walla Valley Academy Monday but couldn't gain their footing, falling 4-1 to the Knights. The loss to the Knights follows two losses against Trout Lake last weekend. In the first half of Mon- day's game, the cold, wet field slowed down the usual quick action between the teams. The Knights kept the pres- sure on the Bulldogs from early on, finally breaking through and scoring halfway through the first half. The Bulldogs fought back,...
WALLA WALLA - Waitsburg-Prescott failed by the narrowest possible margin to DeSales on Senior Night for the Irish. WP lost the 5-set heartbreaker last Tuesday, 16- 25, 25-12, 22-25, 25-20, 13-15. The Lady Cards overcame the Irish in an error- plagued set one by nine points. WP broke open a 10-9 lead with a 10-3 run built without the aid of a single ace or kill by either side. The Cards closed the set out with an ace however, when Krystal Harris' hard serve tripped the net, and fell to an e...
PRESCOTT - Dominating from the outset, the WP Tigers beat the Irrigon Knights, 5-1, at home last Friday.

"We controlled the ball from the start," assistant soccer coach Jay Potts said in a telephone interview. "It was our best passing performance of the year. We're getting better at that." Senior Lino Diaz was the first to score in the fourth minute of the game on an assist from senior Jesse Alb... Full story
ASOTIN - Two big plays proved the difference in Waitsburg-Prescott's must- have victory at Asotin last Friday. The, 26-14, win nearly guarantees the Cardinals control of their own destiny in the chase for the Southeast 2B title as they go into their final regular season game this Friday against Tri-Cities Prep. After a first half defensive slog, the Cards posted the two, long-field scores in the span of just a minute-and- a-half late in the third quarter to put some distance between...
DAYTON - Coming off of two wins against Waitsburg-Prescott on Oct. 16 and DeSales on Oct. 18, the Dayton volleyball team was poised for attack on its senior night against the Walla Walla Valley Academy last Tuesday. However, the Bulldogs fell in a nail-biting finish after five sets against the WWVA Knights Tuesday. The game began by honoring Dayton seniors Jessica Tate and McKayla Bickelhaupt. The Bulldogs opened the first set keeping close to the Knights' scores. The score was close until the...

DAYTON - A group of six students and six parents met at Dayton High School last Friday armed with signs and an agenda to call attention to bullying in the Dayton School District. Parent Kim Suchodolski was one of the leaders of the parent-student group who made the meeting at the high school last Friday a call to ac- tion for parents and students. The group carried signs outside the school that said "National Anti-Bullying Day," "Stop the bullying," "Please help the students" and "We won't stand for it."

Tolman, who lives with her husband of 27 years in Waits- burg, has always worked with children. Her background lies primarily in volunteer work. "I'm new in a way (as a pre- vention coordinator)," Tolman said. "(But) I've always found myself working with kids." Tolman took on the position in early October to replace Peggy...
DAYTON - The Sixth Amendment guarantees an attorney for any defendant in need of one, but recent caseload concerns moved the Supreme Court to adopt new standards that will impose a cap on the number of cases attorneys can handle and could restrict private prac- tices for the public defenders the state has relied on. This change will impact local defenders. At the last Columbia County Commissioners meeting, public defenders C. Dale Slack, of Dayton, and Andrea Burkhart, of Walla Walla, discussed the new standards, called indigent defense... Full story
WAITSBURG - The Waitsburg City Council last Wednesday night voted to raise a tax levied when property in the city is sold to raise about $10,000 to help operate the city pool.

The tax is real estate excise tax that is typically paid by the seller when property in Waitsburg is sold. The rate of the tax was previously a quarter of one percent, or $2,500 on a $100,000 home and is paid with the...

WAITSBURG - The most recent contract proposal the Waitsburg City Council took a look at last Wednesday reduces the amount the city is paying the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office cur- rently by 36 percent and reduces services by 38 percent. Councilman KC Kuyken- dall told Sheriff John Turner last Wednesday that if the city of Waitsburg is already being patrolled in the deputies' daily beat, "I can't figure out for the life of me why we couldn't cut the contract." Kuykendall said for $125,000 a... Full story

There's something exciting about the pomp and circumstance in marketing wine. This time of year, the wine tasting rooms of the Walla Walla region are especially beautiful and welcoming. Wineries have made their homes in restored historic build- ings or new, state-of-the-art facilities bringing the vineyard into the tasting room with seasonal panache. Where today you will see fall vignettes lining the wine and gift shelves, tomorrow you'll be dazzled by the cheer of holiday displays. With winter approaching, I visited local win- eries to taste...
