WAITSBURG - For the second year in a row, Waitsburg residents will have a choice of mayoral candidates in their annual elections for city government next month. Waitsburg carpenter, soccer coach and former council member Bart Baxter told the Times earlier this week he is running for the position now held by first-term Mayor Walt Gobel. During a caucus meeting at Deanne and Larry Johnson's house on Monday night, Gobel and all current city council members were nominated again as "Truth & Trust"...

DAYTON - Senior Bulldog Dain Henderson stood before a crowd of teammates, schoolmates, coaches and family to read from the page he held. "I am a Bulldog. I've played for Bulldogs of the past and Bulldogs of the future. I have known success, and I have known defeat. I have known sorrow, and I have known joy. I am a Bulldog." The words came from a letter presented to the Bulldogs just before their final district playoffs game against Asotin two weeks ago. It was written by Roseann Groom, mother...
SPOKANE - The 2011 Cardinals already went further in the state playoffs than last year by placing in the Final 8 at University High School. And during the fourth quarter of their first game against the Bear Creek Grizzlies at the arena Friday, it seemed possible they might go even further. The game went into overtime after the teams tied at 47-47. But in the end, the hardfighting WP team hit a wall on Friday in the form of their opponents' speed, which pushed the outcome in the Grizzlies'...
MEETING FOR WAIT'S MARKET WAITSBURG - Supporters of a permanent "Wait's Market" like the one the town had during Cycle Oregon last year will meet to explore the formation of a group at Deanne and Larry Johnson's home.

HOMICIDE TRIAL DELAYED DAYTON - The state's new case against James Colbert, accused of vehicular homicide in Columbia County in 2008, will go to...
Readers have been requesting a favorite Wildberries lasagna recipe. This portabello-artichoke pie was always sold out before the end of the lunch hour and is still the most requested at Flying Aprons Catering. I have found the secret to great mushroom-artichoke lasagna is to caramelize the vegetables before layering and to use heavy cream for sauce. For a dish of such delish', only a Locati Cellars'06 Columbia Valley Barbera will do. Locati Cellars makes the closest thing to old world Tuscan reds for the area and should not be missed. Locati...

STARBUCK - Commerce along one of the state's arteries will soon kick back into gear as major repairs to key locks on the Columbia and Snake rivers draws to completion this month. Close to 10 million tons of cargo including wheat, barley, petroleum products (like fuel), fertilizer, hay cubes, peas, lentils, milk carton stock and containers full of merchandise are shipped via the Columbia-Snake River system each year. Over 2 million tons are moved just through the Little Goose navigation lock...
SHOOT HOOPS FOR GOOD CAUSE WAITSBURG - Everyone gets busy, but too busy for a fun valley-wide alumni basketball tournament for a good sports cause? Team signups have been slower than organizers from the Cardinals Booster Club had hoped, so they are giving it until the end of this week before deciding whether to hold the firstof its-kind event at Kison Court on March 18 and 19. Proceeds will go to help fund a new press box and sports equipment facility behind the bleachers on Cardinal Field. Now that the 2011 Cardinals basketball teams are home...
Dear Editor: My wife and I live in Bellevue most of the time, and in Walla Walla as often as we can get over there. And we always try to get over to Waitsburg when we are "East," since we have grown fond of the town. Last summer, we subscribed to the Waitsburg Times, and I always look forward to reading about what is going on in your town. As a public school teacher, I truly have enjoyed keeping up with the efforts and many successes of the student-athletes over the past six months, so the "Of Mind And Body" editorial on the Opinion page of...
I n reference to the article that appeared in the Waitsburg Times recently, which alluded to the perception that the Columbia County Sheriff's Office is picking on the people going to or returning from Bluewood, it is the policy of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office to be fair and even handed when issuing infractions and citations. Therefore I feel there needs to be a written response from my office. In years past the Sheriff's Office and Emergency Medical Services personnel have spent...
Two weeks ago, we congratulated Waitsburg on its School of Distinction award from the state's Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and on the successful Cardinals basketball program. We were remiss. We should have congratulated the Prescott School District along with Waitsburg. Prescott is, of course, an equal partner in the sports combine. Although not as many Prescott students are members of the basketball team, the district deserves as much mention for supporting the program that shaped the teams going to state this year. We'd...
DAYTON - Bob McCauley wasn't a master gardener but just a community-minded retiree living next door to a piece of city land. He happened to be paying attention one day as citizens discussed community development in Dayton. "They were talking about things we could do, or needed to do," McCauley said. "One thing that came up was a community garden." McCauley nominated himself to head the push for an all-access gardening spot. He had just the place in mind. His father had farmed the land adjoining...
WAITSBURG - It may not have brought quite as many people to town as Cycle Oregon did last year. But in the world of youth wrestling, Waitsburg hit the big time this weekend as host of a 17-team tournament that attracted close to 2,000 visitors on Saturday. "It was exciting," said Kari Newman, co-founder of Waitsburg's Matbirds club, which is affiliated with the larger Washington State Little Guy Wrestling Association, an organization that has 70 clubs statewide. For five weeks starting in early...
