The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Unfortunately, autocorrect was less-than-helpful in last week’s edition of The Times. Eleanora Montgomery shared that she, Karen Huwe, and friends, went river rafting in Riggins, Idaho. We must have made a typo and Word then “corrected” the word “rafting” to the word “farting.” The ladies would like it made clear that they went rafting, not farting. At least we were able to add a bit of levity to an otherwise gloomy week of national news.

On the positive side, this gives us the opportunity to include a submission we received from a staffer who shared her summer adventures after we had gone to press.

Patty Hazelwood (High School Special Education): My summer was amazing. Here are two things that I did: My husband and I traveled to Alaska and the Yukon on a visit to see our son. I also hiked 14 miles in the Hoh Rain Forest with my daughter.
