WAITSBURG - Artist Squire Broel's monument, to be placed in downtown Waitsburg in May, was chosen by the Waitsburg Art Commission to honor the three founding fathers of the Waitsburg community: William Bruce, William Preston and Sylvester Wait. It is Broel's desire that the piece will also recognize the efforts of the countless other individuals who quietly labored to make Waitsburg the town it is today. "Each individual - regardless of level of recognition - makes an impact on their...
WAITSBURG - It's widely known that words are among the mightiest of weapons - but only if you know how to use them. To that end, the Waitsburg school district staff has devoted a great deal of effort and creativity this year to arming its students to fight well. They won't be using words to slay any dragons, but teachers and administrators are hoping a concentrated focus on vocabulary will give students an edge when taking on the state assessments. Last year, Waitsburg teachers decided it would...
DAYTON – An advocate is someone who offers public support for someone else, and victims often need this support more than most people. Victims of domestic violence and sexual assault (both male and female) face the additional burdens of sometimes humiliating medical procedures, bewildering and painful court proceedings, and an uncertain future. So in 2003, the Walla Walla YWCA, an organization founded on advocacy, opened an office in Columbia County and brought to Dayton a local victims’ advocat...
Dear Editor, Congrats to Paul, Sherry, and Kathy on their many years of pharmacy service and recent retirement. During my hospice nurse tenure in the Dayton area I had frequent contact with Elk Drug staff who had a beautiful service attitude and great respect for hospice patients and their families. When there was a critical need after hours, Paul always responded without hesitation, "I'll be right there," and even offered to deliver. I saw Sean carrying on the same superb service. Congrats to the community on passing the hospital levy!...
[Editor's note: This week we hear from some pundits around the country with excerpts from columns they've written about President Obama's executive action on immigration.] A year ago, when asked if he had the authority to end deportations of illegal aliens he said, "Actually, I don't." Three years earlier, when pressed as to why he could not act on his own on immigration he said, "The notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true." Well, now the president says it is true -- he can alter the laws unilaterally. Why...

Young lady, you have two essays to finish for next week, a publication deadline tonight, a litter box to scoop out, and optional-but-strongly-recommended "sleep" to schedule. Be advised." All right. (*cough, Scrooge, cough*) Essay. Right. The prompt is "Elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities and explain...
We report this week, in an article on Page 9, about the Dayton School District's new approach to facilities improvements. Instead of seeking voter approval for a bond levy measure that would allow a major renovation of school facilities, the Dayton School Board will likely go out next year for a capital improvement levy instead. With a capital improvement levy, the district won't borrow money by issuing bonds and then pay them off with tax revenues. Instead, it will propose to undertake a limited set of projects and likely complete them over a...
