DAYTON - Dayton's First Congregational Church bubbled with activity last Friday as com- munity members and volunteers filed in for the annual Dayton General Hospital Auxiliary Luncheon. The dining areas filled quick- ly as attendees greeted each other like old friends, making the entire event feel more like a family re- union than an annual fundraiser. That feeling is exactly what keeps luncheon organizer and auxiliary President Aleta Shock- ley coming back. "My favorite part (of the lun-...
DAYTON – The Dayton City Council for the first time in three years is considering a 1 percent increase in property tax in its 2013 budget. “We are looking to (in- crease the property tax) for the first time in three budget cycles,” Mayor Craig George said. The tax increase will bring in an extra $3,300 in revenue for the city. George said revenues are projected to be down for 2013. He added the relatively small price tag on the property tax increase was the reason the 1 percent hadn’t been imposed for the last few years. The grand total o...
DAYTON - The Day- ton soccer team took the field against Walla Walla Valley Academy Monday but couldn't gain their footing, falling 4-1 to the Knights. The loss to the Knights follows two losses against Trout Lake last weekend. In the first half of Mon- day's game, the cold, wet field slowed down the usual quick action between the teams. The Knights kept the pres- sure on the Bulldogs from early on, finally breaking through and scoring halfway through the first half. The Bulldogs fought back,...
WALLA WALLA - Waitsburg-Prescott failed by the narrowest possible margin to DeSales on Senior Night for the Irish. WP lost the 5-set heartbreaker last Tuesday, 16- 25, 25-12, 22-25, 25-20, 13-15. The Lady Cards overcame the Irish in an error- plagued set one by nine points. WP broke open a 10-9 lead with a 10-3 run built without the aid of a single ace or kill by either side. The Cards closed the set out with an ace however, when Krystal Harris' hard serve tripped the net, and fell to an e...
PRESCOTT - Dominating from the outset, the WP Tigers beat the Irrigon Knights, 5-1, at home last Friday. The Tigers Tuesday night beat Riverside Christian in Yakima, 3-0/ The team's victories give the Tigers a, 10-2-1, record for the season. "We controlled the ball from the start," assistant soccer coach Jay Potts said in a telephone interview. "It was our best passing performance of the year. We're getting better at that." Senior Lino Diaz was the first to score in the fourth minute of the game on an assist from senior Jesse Alb...
ASOTIN - Two big plays proved the difference in Waitsburg-Prescott's must- have victory at Asotin last Friday. The, 26-14, win nearly guarantees the Cardinals control of their own destiny in the chase for the Southeast 2B title as they go into their final regular season game this Friday against Tri-Cities Prep. After a first half defensive slog, the Cards posted the two, long-field scores in the span of just a minute-and- a-half late in the third quarter to put some distance between...
DAYTON - Coming off of two wins against Waitsburg-Prescott on Oct. 16 and DeSales on Oct. 18, the Dayton volleyball team was poised for attack on its senior night against the Walla Walla Valley Academy last Tuesday. However, the Bulldogs fell in a nail-biting finish after five sets against the WWVA Knights Tuesday. The game began by honoring Dayton seniors Jessica Tate and McKayla Bickelhaupt. The Bulldogs opened the first set keeping close to the Knights' scores. The score was close until the...
PENDLETON - Two WP cross country athletes came out on top last Saturday and placed first in a large meet in Pendleton, Ore.

DAYTON - The Sixth Amendment guarantees an attorney for any defendant in need of one, but recent caseload concerns moved the Supreme Court to adopt new standards that will impose a cap on the number of cases attorneys can handle and could restrict private prac- tices for the public defenders the state has relied on. This change will impact local defenders. At the last Columbia County Commissioners meeting, public defenders C. Dale Slack, of Dayton, and Andrea Burkhart, of Walla Walla, discussed the new standards, called indigent defense...

Last Saturday the cowboys were back, hosted by the Columbia County Shooting Association.
