WAITSBURG - Food and restaurant photographer David Reamer really wasn't sure what he was getting himself into on his trip to photograph locations in Waitsburg last Thursday. But that's typical. Reamer said he is often photographing places without much context because as a magazine photographer he has little to no contact with the writer. He does not know what the magazine article will even be about. Reamer was a profes- sional cook for 13 years and throughout the last six years he has been transitioning into a career as a food and restaurant...

WALLA WALLA - The vehicles driven every day by the Walla Walla County Sheriff's deputies have been discontinued because they are no longer safe. The phasing out of the Ford Crown Victoria, used by the deputies, was prompted by the new 2012 highway safety standards, which that vehicle model cannot meet without a serious redesign, officials say.

WAITSBURG - Raising swine for the fair can be a good investment financially and for the experience. But for Waitsburg FFA member Luke Alexenko, raising pigs is more than just money -- it's fun. It's a big investment in the beginning, $120 to purchase the three-month-old pig, $5 for a rented sty and $300 for high protein feed - per pig. And to get any kind of substantial return, the pigs have to be sold at the fair, which means they have to meet several requirements. The most notable of these is...

The district borrowed an...
