Valedictorian Speech by Koby Harris High School is really a short time in our lives, a time when later we look down the road, we realize how impactful this time was in many ways. High school is a time where we develop a lot of our personalities; traits and characteristics we will hold with us for many years and possibly the rest of our lives. We made friends when we played sports or went to each other's houses almost every day after school. We, the Class of 2021, became like a family. We would...
This was the second year Waitsburg High School graduates paraded through town in decorated cars, trucks, a boat, and a sofa. Family, friends and residents cheered the Seniors as they drove past on the way to their future....
Our jet sled bobbed near the infamous "Buoy 10" in the mouth of the Columbia River. It was a stormy September afternoon with angry Pacific surf bullying its wave action far upriver. Coho were the target, yet no one aboard complained at the prospects of landing anything willing to trounce the cut herring corkscrewing behind the boat as we drifted. Kicking back, we enjoyed the ride, and the experience of fellow fishermen jumping hurriedly for a bent rod, ripped from the complacency of a lull in th...
Recently, we stepped into a movie house for the first time in over a year to watch A Quiet Place II. I had seen the first film, A Quiet Place, at the cinema in 2019. The sequel had been scheduled for box office release in the Spring of 2020. The director of both movies, John Krasinski, who stars in the film, was adamant that the sequel not be released to streaming during the pandemic but wait until cinema opened again. Krasinski introduced the film thanking the audience for coming out to the...
Ten Years Ago June 9, 2011 It may seem ironic that Waitsburg Valedictorian Austin Beasley chose a quote from a famous high school dropout to inspire his fellow high school graduates. But the saying from McDonald's fast food chain founder Ray Kroc was on message when it comes to being successful in life. “Where there is no risk, there can be no pride in achievement,” Beasley quoted Kroc as saying. “It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor.” Summer vacation starts Friday for hundreds of kids in the Touchet Valley. It will...
It's the season of backyard barbeques and neighborhood potlucks, a time when small gatherings can quickly turn into large parties. Amongst the various salads and grilled meats of your summer spreads, there is always room for a crowd pleaser casserole. And perhaps none pleases a crowd quite like the American classic, macaroni and cheese. As with any national favorite, there are countless variations and regionally specific recipes for this cheesy comfort, all of which are a million times better th...
We’re all exhausted, my hands are raw, my nails are shredded, and my feet are so sore I can hardly walk. Somehow, we made it through the first two weeks as new Dayton restauranteurs. All without killing each other, burning down the building or poisoning anyone. We have had our share of chef tantrums (him), staff silent treatments (me), stare downs (both of us) and pizza lunches. Luckily, to balance out the opening kinks and tiffs, we’ve had many laughs, happy customers and great lunches pre...
The Tour Walla Walla bike race was back in town this last weekend. Racers met up at the fairgrounds, relaxed after racing, enjoyed coffees and snacks at Ten Ton Coffee.

Ten Years Ago June 2, 2011 An equine virus cut the number of entries in the Dayton Days parade by more than half, but the community showed up for the annual pageant nonetheless and spirits were high, organizers said about Saturday’s sunny event. “The community support was great,” said Claudia Nysoe, director of the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the parade. “It was a small parade but big in spirit.” Thiry-two kids and five chaperones of the Salt & Light Youth Choir will leave June 18 to go on tour in the Seattle area. Under the...
Julia Child is famous for noting that the quality of a cook can always be judged by how well they roast a chicken. In my quest for poultry perfection, I have tried countless variations and recipes over the years. I've stuffed herbs under the skin, dry rubbed with elaborate spice blends, or simply stuck with salt and pepper. I've brined, yogurt-marinated, and wrapped in pancetta. I've meticulously followed the advice of Alice Waters, Jacques Pépin, Ina Garten, and of course Julia. With each...
