WAITSBURG -- Stu- dents at Waitsburg Middle School are baring their talents on the stage to raise money to help a local family after they lost their home in a fire.

WAITSBURG - A room full of more than a dozen three-to-five-year-olds can be daunting, even when you don't have a camera. Last week when a photographer showed up, almost all of the kids at the Waitsburg Parent Cooperative preschool let it be known that they were thrilled to have their pic- tures taken.

The WHS student body took its annual ski trip last Thursday. I am told that they had quite the time. I didn't go with them. I am officially bored of the bunny hill, but the chairlifts scare me half to death. (I'm not afraid of heights, but heights without a seatbelt is another matter entirely.) So I, along with 32 other students, stayed behind at the school. We didn't even bother with normal classes. Instead, at the start of school, we were all called to the auditorium. A head count was conducted. (It didn't take too long, needless to say.)...
WAITSBURG - At 18 years old, Thibault Marti- nelle is already a seasoned traveler, having visited most of Europe, including France, England, Ireland, Turkey, Italy and Spain, as well as U.S. visits to Florida and Connecticut. Still, leav- ing his home in Waterloo, Belgium to spend the school year in Waitsburg as an ex- change student has been a "one-of-a-kind" experience. Waterloo, with a popula- tion roughly that of Walla Walla, is not a particu- larly large city, but sizeable enough that...
