DAYTON - A little rain and chilly weather only dampened spirits slightly during last weekend's 20th annual All Wheels Weekend event here. Early registration for classic car entrants was about 40 higher than any previous year, but at least 50 fewer cars arrived than expected for Saturday's Show & Shine, according to event chair Bette Lou Crothers. Friday night's cruising was nearly rained out, as was the outdoor stage where live music was planned. The Ultimate Elvis concert Friday night was...

I 've only called Waitsburg home for twenty-odd years - a newcomer by old timer standards. But I married into my husband's family where roots on both sides of the ancestral tree - Woods and Smiths - run deep in Waitsburg's soil. As these early families expanded in size, remaining in the area to marry into other local families who were likewise enamored by Waitsburg's call to "home," those roots sent out shoots and vines, intertwining and connecting one person to another through family,...
Dear Editor: John Turner is by far the best candidate for sheriff and here's why. About six months before John Turner was first elected I was out driving around and stopped to take a look at what used to be a school house in Clyde. I walked up to the building and was astonished to see most of the inside and some of the outside covered in gang graffiti. I was shocked and angered that gangs had spread their cancer to this rural location. A few days later, I was having lunch at the Lyons Ferry KOA and noticed a poster, "Elect John Turner." I was...

When the Girls State brochure noted that "hay fever and allergies are prevalent in the Ellensburg area," I was initially unconcerned as I've never suffered from either. But about a week ago, my eyes started watering and itching, my nose clogged up, and my throat got raw. In other words, almost immediately before traveling to the windiest, most pollen-laden city in the state (during, no less, the worst allergy season North America has seen for a while), I suddenly became allergic to something....
Summer starts this weekend (it's called summer solstice). It'll be gone before you know it, so here are some things you can do to make it more fun and more memorable: 10. Go to the Snake. Lyons Ferry Marina has great food and a boat launch. Walk out to the end of the point and watch the fishermen. The Lyons Ferry Park, right across the bridge, is open this summer too. 9. Go camping on the Tucannon. I haven't been camping in years, but I should. Campgrounds up the Tucannon are great for fishing o...

Hartwell, 38, was arrested in February and charged with two counts of first degree rape of a child. His trial had been delayed until next month.

Culwell said she believes Hartwell is guilty, based on recorded statements the child gave to CPS, but that evidence is not admissible in court. "The victim's...
