To the editor, Walla Walla County has been my home for my whole life except for the 6 years I spent in the US Navy. I love this place & the people who live here. I care what happens to them. For that reason I wholeheartedly support Richard Schram for Sheriff. He is the much superior candidate by education, experience, & temperament. I retired from the Walla Walla Sheriff’s Office after 37 years of service. I was the first K-9 handler for the WWSO, working dogs for 15 years. I was jail commander for 12 years & did thousands of hours of p...

It is hard to compete with that. Nonetheless, our boys showed up and didn't quit. They fought for every inch and every down," said coach Gabe Kiefel....
