The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG—In the first week of the Waitsburg Youth and Government Jars Project, the public has expressed opinions on the crucial issues Waitsburg has been facing for years.

Customers at the Waitsburg Grocery chose salad over soup by four dollars.

Waitsburg Grocery results:

Soup – 17

Salad – 21

At Blush Salon, pedicures were exactly 5 dollars better than manicures. (We can’t help but agree.)

Blush salon results:

Manicures – 2

Pedicures – 7

In what organizers thought would be a much closer contest, Ten Ton Coffee customers said clearly that the Beatles are a whopping $15 better than Elvis. Our apologies to the King.

10 Ton Coffee results:

The Beatles – 23

Elvis – 8

And in the most surprising and scariest contest, good barely topped evil by only $2, at least at Sam’s Corner.

Sam’s results:

Good – 9

Evil – 7

Matt Eider and the Waitsburg Youth and Government students thanked everybody who donated this week. They will change the questions at all of the participating local businesses this week. Starting this week, Gaudy Gals, Laht Neppur Brewery, and Walla Walla Roastery have joined the fundraiser and will have jars and questions ready for the debate.
