A fter a very smooth and orderly decline that has lasted three weeks, the wheat price has paused. There is always a kind of nervous twitch exhibited when the market reaches the end or beginning of a significant move. Some would call this "indecision," but a week-long sideways pattern with quick jumps back and forth that last only hours at most is the mark of a market in "read" mode.'' The last week saw us through a key USDA monthly report, all the more intensely observed as we missed the monthly report for October during The Shutdown. The ef-...

I s it ironi c that I h ave lived next door to Dan and Rosie Nechodom since May but had never been inside their home until this week? Let me explain further. The Nechodoms are some of the friendliest people in Dayton. Dan is a Dayton High School teacher and track coach. Rosie is the school counselor for both Dayton and Waits- burg districts. I have five kids at home who use the Nechodoms' giant, outdoor trampoline several times each week. Now are you surprised we've never visited before now?...
Last week, I had the privilege of reading two freakishly awe- some pieces of literature: Thoreau's "Walden" and Emerson's "Self-Reliance." The former helped me find peace in a busy week; the latter, meaning in my exis- tence. Inspired by some combination of these, a stack of old quilting patterns, and a three- day weekend, I spent the end of last week in an especially productive manner. I started making a stuffed patchwork dog, finished all my home- work during breaks at the theater, read a...

PRESCOTT - Prelimi- nary results from last week's election show the Prescott Pool Maintenance and Op- erations Levy passing by 64% - a few points above the required 60% supermajority. The 2014 levy is for $110,000, approximately 40 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. Due to a rise in assessed property values, the levy rate is down slightly from the 2013 rate of 45 cents per $1,000. Unlike the neighboring cities of Waitsburg, Day- ton and previously Walla Walla, the City of Prescott has...
