WA I T S B U R G -- It has been 25 years since Mar-

keeta Little Wolf has belted out songs with her powerful voice to an audience. Little Wolf performed on TV, in club acts and even on the theater stage in musicals from age 12 to 28, when she gave it all up to sell real estate and have a different kind of life.

Little Wolf, now 53, real-ized about one year ago that she still has one more show in her, she said. And she’s been working since on songs, light-ing and cos-tumes to give her friends in Waitsburg a piece of her she’s kept quiet for so long.

A Show Biz Family

Little Wolf , born in New Zealand, said she was born with a song in her heart.

“I came out of the womb (singing),” she said. “I came by it naturally coming from a show business family.”

Her father was a profes-sional wrestler in the 1930s named Big Chief Little Wolf. He was 100 percent Navaho Indian who wrestled in the United States in the winter and

headed to Australia to wrestle the rest of the calendar year.

“The people loved him because he was a great show-man,” she said of her father.

In Australia, Big Chief’s fame grew and he performed in a Wild West and circus show. She describes is as “the circus meets cowboys and Indians.”

Little Wolf said her father Big Chief met her mother Dona at a party when he was seated at Dona’s table. She says Big Chief asked Dona to dance and they later married and had Markeeta. Little Wolf has one older brother from her mother’s first marriage. He is a lawyer and former judge living in Hermiston, Ore.

While Big Chief was per-forming in the show, Dona, a

tiny and timid woman, would take the mon-ey and round up acts, Little Wo l f s a i d . Once, despite stage fright, Dona had to fill in for a per-former and ride a trick pony in the show, Lit-tle Wolf said. The g i f t o f song does not come from her mother, Little Wolf said. But, her father and

brother have wonderful voices, so it does run in the family. Big Chief would often sit outside and just begin to sing, she recalls.

While growing up, Little Wolf sang all types of music. She later got hooked on Coun-try Western music, which she would play with a little box guitar.

After lots of practice, she booked her first performance at a birthday party in some-one’s home in Australia when she was 12 years old. She played music for 15 to 20 min-utes and received a $20 bill for

her work.“I couldn’t believe it,” she

said. She told her mother she

wanted to be a professional musician and Dona enrolled Little Wolf in every kind of class imaginable that would

WAITSBURG – Mem-bers of the board of the Days of Real Sport, Dayton Days and other groups af-filiated with local Class C

Horse Racing Reps

Appeal To State Racing Commission

race tracks scribbled their signatures on a letter to members of the Washington Horse Racing Commission with the hope that the com-mission will give the tracks money in 2012 to bring back their horse racing events.

The commission’s fund balance, a cut of money earned from wagers at Au-burn’s Emerald Downs, only allowed for six days of Class C racing in 2011. The fund-ing does not come from tax payers. The commission last winter decided to provide those days to the Tri-Cities

Horseracing Association in Kennewick because of that facility’s significant, recent investment in its track, in-cluding a new rail and barn estimated at $150,000 and paid for with state grants.

The annual Waitsburg event Days of Real Sport, which had been held for 97 years, did not take place in May. Dayton Days contin-ued without a horse-racing component.

Walla Walla, Waitsburg and Dayton agreed to let the Kennewick track have all of the commission’s funds in

2011 with the understanding that the other tracks would receive money for race days in 2012.

Because there was no rac-ing, Bill Hoff, a Walla Walla resident who stables and trains race horses in Waits-burg, said the local economy took a hit because there was no draw to bring tourists in for Real Days of Sport.

Representatives from Dayton have written their own letter and are also in-volved in the effort, Hoff said.

Hoff said he would like in

2012 for the commission to give each race track an equal piece of the pie. If the funds were distributed evenly, then each race track could go out and find private funding to carry out more racing dates.

Hoff said Waitsburg was getting about $15,700 from the commission for each racing day, but received none in 2011.

In tough economic times, there has been less mon-ey generated at Emerald Downs, so the commission has less than ever to give.

“We need Emera ld

Downs to do well to gener-ate money,” Hoff said.

Without races in Waits-burg last May, Hoff said local business owners took a hit.

“I’ve been told the Days of Real Sport Weekend was the best economic weekend of the year,” he said.

Terry Jacoy, the treasurer of the board that organizes Days of Real Sport each year, said many new busi-nesses have opened up in

DAYTON – The Day-ton City Council Monday decided to table a proposed ordinance amendment that would have made homeown-ers responsible for repairs to sewer lines that connect their houses to the main.

After holding a public hearing on the ordinance and receiving comments from two concerned Dayton residents, the council voted to explore a new idea that would add a small fee to residents’ utility bill to create a reserve for such repairs in the future.

“It’s a possibility I hadn’t considered,” Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Merle Jackson said about the pro-posal offered by Art Hall, a new Dayton resident who recently relocated here from the Everett area.

Hall said he was con-cerned about shifting the burden of “side sewer” re-

The Times

DAYTON -- If the num-ber of questions Dayton Chamber of Commerce Director Claudia Nysoe has been getting lately are any indication, there’s quite a bit of excitement and anticipa-tion in the valley about a new addition to Dayton’s restaurant community.

“I’ve had two or three people a week asking me when’s that new place go-ing to open,” Nysoe said. “Everyone here in Dayton is really excited about having a new place to eat.”

The place in question is the Asian Grill and the answer to the much-asked question is: soon!

Members of the Kim

family, who used to own “I Love Teriyaki” on Main Street in Walla Walla, said they hope to open their doors to the old bowling alley and former home of Fiesta En Jalisco sometime before the end of the month.

The Kims are still waiting on some equipment and are in the process of obtaining their beer and wine license of the

establishment, which they say will serve Korean, Japanese and Chinese cuisine with dishes ranging in price from $7.50 to $13.50.

“I hope it will be well-received,” said Kyung Kim, who will run the new res-taurant with her husband Yon and their son Chung. Daughter Julee, who lives in the Seattle area, is the Asian

Grill’s owner.The Kims have a long

history of owning and op-erating Asian restaurants. The elder couple immi-grated from South Korea in 1978, joining a far-flung immigrant family that also consisted of Kyung Kim’s sister in Ohio and another

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

As the former Port of Walla Walla Commissioner for District 2, I would like to endorse Mike Fredrickson for re-election. The Port’s record of accomplishments during Commissioner Fred-rickson’s term is impressive. It includes the award win-ning Railex Produce Distri-bution Center that transports Pacific Northwest Produce to New York in less than five days. In addition, five wine incubator buildings have been constructed and another phase of the four laning of US Highway 12 has been completed. Equally impressive is the Port’s tax levy rate has declined during Commissioner Fredrickson’s term from $0.44 per $1,000 to $0.375 per $1,000. Mike Fredrickson is getting the job done and will continue to work hard to enhance the economic vitality of Walla Walla County. He has earned my support for another term on the Port Commission.

Ken JantzOrlando, Florida

Dear Editor,

There have been several attempts to defend the Port of Walla Walla’s so-called transparency. The simple fact is that the Port of Walla Walla does not audio tape their meetings, choosing instead to take handwritten notes for their scheduled “regular” public meetings.

By comparison, the Walla Walla County Commission, Walla Walla City Council, College Place City Council and Waitsburg City Council all choose to audio tape their meetings. The Port Commis-sion has chosen to ignore an easy, inexpensive step toward greater transparency.

Having spoken publicly at many port meetings, I fi nd that the fi nal reporting of public comments in their “minutes” is perfunctory at best, often leaving out highly important, pivotal informa-tion. Without an audio tape it freely allows the Port the opportunity for denial.

Maybe it’s time for a change.

Norm OstermanWalla Walla

Dear Editor,

I am voting for Barlow Corkrum for Port Com-missioner for a number of reasons, but most of all be-cause we need new leader-ship that better represents our common interests. The incumbent Commissioner Fredrickson supported a coal-fired power plant in Wallula. Barlow was the fi rst person raising serious con-cerns about that misguided project.

There are three port com-missioners that provide over-sight for the staff of the Port of Walla Walla. In my opin-ion, that oversight should include a person who I can trust to represent what’s best for our community.

Please join me in reas-serting true citizen participa-tion into the direction and governance of this critical local economic development agency. Barlow Corkrum has the experience, skills and de-sire to achieve these results.

Vote for the future of our county today, as tomorrow may be too late.

Great Job, Steve

It’s fi tting that I should be writing this editorial on my iPad since this week’s column is about the passing of Steve Jobs.We don’t comment very often on events outside our

community, but the loss of an entrepreneur like Jobs is something that touches people everywhere for many dif-ferent reasons.

If you’re roughly Jobs’ age (mid 50s), it’s sad to note the death of a contemporary and it makes you appreciate being healthy and alive.

If you were born in the 1950s like I was, you would have been in your 20s when Apple made its debut and you would have been a witness to its rise in the personal computer industry and later, telephones.

To me, following Jobs’ creations was like reading chapter after chapter of a book I couldn’t put down. Ev-ery turn of the page, there was a new twist in the plot that featured the brightest young computer geeks coming out with the latest cutting-edge technology to place under your fi ngertips.

Apple and its rivals epitomized the energy of free enterprise and innovation, driven as they were to be the fi rst one in a consumer market that changed at the speed of light on a whole new frontier.

Of course that intense competition had many sides, one of which I covered as a rookie business reporter for the Everett Herald: the legal battle of PC operating soft-ware pitting Apple against Microsoft.

I didn’t become an “i” convert until the iPhone came out. But even though I didn’t personally buy into the Mac cult when it came to computers, I always admired Jobs’ approach to the development of Apple’s products.

As the company’s visionary, he chose to marry form and function. For him, as for many of those who reject the straightjacket of mediocrity, it was as much about esthetics as it was about the effi ciency and freedom the products offered to their users.

In many instances, Apple set the standards that other companies followed or simply knocked off, particularly with the iPod, iPhone and iPad.

I think this is one of the reasons why Jobs’ death was mourned almost as intensely as the passing of someone like George Harrison or John Lennon. These and other artistic and entrepreneurial heroes of our time gave us something that made a difference in our lives, made our lives easier, more meaningful or more fun.

I’m not sure what I would do without my iPad (which I won in drawing at a newspaper convention a year ago): I check email, write stories, search the Internet, watch movies, stream music for the coffee shop, Skype my brother in Australia, pay my bills online and with all that haven’t even scratched the surface of the little tablet’s potential.

As long as there’s Wifi , I can be anywhere to stay con-nected. Such mobility gives me and millions of other fans of Apple’s iconic products freedom of movement and, with the expansion of cell phone networks and broad-band, the ability to live and function in a town the size and relative remoteness of Waitsburg.

And that means others can too, bringing new resi-dents, energy and investment into rural communities everywhere.

Apple will doubtlessly continue on its trajectory of innovation and success. Its principals have long known Jobs was in ill health and worked on a succession plan. As a sign the world has confi dence in the company’s future, its share price barely dropped when Jobs’ passing was announced.

But for those of us who somewhat measured their years by Apple’s product rollouts starting with the Apple Macintosh in the early 1989s, we will forever associate progress in technology and in our own lives with the mind and free spirit of Steve Jobs.

Local Students Make Giving Back A Priority

WAITSBURG – With plenty of fanfare on Friday night on Waitsburg High School’s football fi eld, stu-dents from Dayton High School and students from Waitsburg stretched paper-link chains across the fi eld. Each link in those chains represented one dollar raised for the American Cancer Society.

The society fundraiser was the fi rst Dayton versus Waitsburg money-raising battle in recent memory, said Denise Winnett, an adminis-trative assistant at Waitsburg High School. Winnett said she has been with the dis-trict since 1980 and doesn’t remember anything like it before.

On Friday when the stu-dents stretched out their paper-link chains, Waitsburg-Prescott was the clear win-ner over Dayton. WP raised $1,224 and Dayton raised $735.

Waitsburg’s chain hung in the high school office and Winnett said its growth was kind of sporadic, but exciting. The competition really got fi erce the last two days and kids emptied their pockets. Winnett said she would announce how much they had raised every hour and kids who donated would get to announce it over the loudspeaker as well.

“The kids were really into it the last day of school,” she said.

The school-versus-school competitions that help the needy are a great idea. They incite school spirit and cre-ate unity while getting our kids out in the community. Lori Bartlow actually felt the same way and when she heard of other schools in the

Spokane area battling for a good cause, she decided to start the competition here. Because of this idea, the American Cancer Society now gets nearly $2,000 to help find a cure for cancer and help those in need obtain preventative screenings.

Growing up, my high school in Bellevue never had this kind of competition. I didn’t experience this kind of fundraising until I was 23 and living in Grays Har-bor County. Aberdeen High School and Hoquiam High School went head-to-head in a competition called Food-ball. Montesano and Elma high schools had a similar competition called Food-

bowl. Both sets of schools collected canned foods and money and all of the pro-ceeds went to food banks in their communities. Kids would stand on street corners with signs, hold special as-semblies or talent shows and had classroom competitions. And there was always plenty of smack talk.

But this soon-to-be annual fundraiser of Waitsburg ver-sus Dayton isn’t even close to the only way our kids are helping the needy in our community.

Waitsburg High School has an entire club devoted to

service called the Leo’s Club.“All they do are fundrais-

ers,” Winnett said. Each fall, the club does

a food drive where students collect food all week and go out into the city one evening to bring in as many canned goods as possible and the staff members of the district feed the kids chili. Often, classes will compete to create unity among the freshman, sophomores, juniors and se-niors. For this event, the club really gets the whole school involved, Winnett said.

In the spring, the club has a penny drive that each year benefits a different cause. The club recently held a penny drive to raise money for the Baker Family of Waitsburg and for the Spo-kane Guilds School and Neuromuscular Center.

Also, the National Honor Society chapter has adopted a stretch of Highway 12 and the students participate in highway cleanups twice a year. FFA even has a whole week devoted to community service as service is a major component in its programs and goals. In the holiday sea-son, some students have also collected scarves, hats and socks for the needy.

Dayton High School stu-dents each year raise money for Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital in Spokane. The students collect money and have even held a music con-cert at the school.

“The students wanted to help kids at the hospital with cancer,” said Shannon Turn-er, Dayton’s ASB adviser.

Dayton students also par-ticipate in Relay for Life that is held for Columbia County on the high school track each year.

Dougherty Landscape Architects imageLast week, Dougherty Land Architects collected ideas from the community and sketched what Commercial Avenue

could look like in the new master plan.

New Vision For Commercial Avenue


DAYTON – By compil-ing ideas from residents, business owners and the Dougherty Landscape Arci-techts, the Dayton Develop-ment Task Force has a real picture of the possible future of Commercial Avenue.

David Dougherty’s group from Eugene, Ore., was hired recently to help revital-ize Commercial Avenue in Dayton. Last Wednesday, the task force and commu-nity members got to hear a presentation and see sketch-es of what Commercial Avenue could be if the effort continues. The ultimate goal

is to create a master plan for Commercial Avenue and be-gin tackling projects to carry out the plan.

“I like the part where we just can dream,” said Marce-ne Hendrickson, a member of the task force.

The team of architects was in town Oct. 2 though 5 and spent the fi rst half listen-ing to the community about what it would like to see and the other half planning and drawing.

“We have been drawing up until the last minute,” Dougherty said.

The task force is looking at the corridor on Commer-cial between the Touchet River and the Seneca plant. Its goal is to make it a histor-ical extension of Main Street that has more community and living space.

At Wednesday’s presen-tation, Dougherty and his team talked about adding elements like signage, pub-lic art, lighting, parking and community gathering places to Commercial Avenue. He said through listening to

residents and business own-ers, the city wants to enhance downtown’s economic vi-ability, create strong visible and social connections to Main Street, beautify the corridor, create large and small gathering places and encourage family activity.

Mary Bosch with the team said the city will need to do some marketing to bring in more visitors and potential residents to see economic results.

The biggest shock to the audience was Bosch’s state-ment that Dayton “is not a retirement community,” as community members had voiced at previous meet-ings. Bosch said of the 2,526 Dayton residents the major-ity of residents are age 19 and younger. She said the task force should keep that in mind as it makes a master plan.

Dougherty presented his drawings halfway through the presentation to show in full color all of the ideas combined. The team focused on three places, the area

around the Dayton Historic Depot, the new playground and the city parking lot at the corner of First and Commer-cial. He described plans to add more street lights, plant trees and put in diagonal parking that would double the amount that the parallel parking currently allows.

At the playground, he added a plaza for playing, fencing to keep children away from the street and al-ley, a restroom, seating and a bike rack.

POLICE NOTES

Here comes fall and the promise of change. To-day I watched the leaves from my maple tree fall to the ground while “Gary Cooper,” the

gentleman kitty, stopped skittering around the yard just long enough to say, “welcome to my world,” bat the catnip and lavender into oblivion and chase a squirrel into the pines!

At our local wineries, Fall Release is nearing: November 4-6. But I am not waiting for the crowds, it’s my cookbook editor’s birthday, so I drove out to Pepper Bridge Winery, Walla Walla for a gift of wine. Winemaker, Jean Francois is famous for his Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines.

This winery is all estate grown and pampered be-yond belief. It’s an education just driving the road into the winery parking lot with its incredible glimpse into the intricate tying and trellising of wine vines, some 12-feet tall, neatly staked along the road.

After a few minutes in the tasting room, I settled on the Pepper Bridge ’07 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, an expensive bottle comparatively speaking at $55 sug-gested retail price. However, I was buying this bottle as a gift for someone special on their birthday, so the price was not an issue.

But my timing was and off, I drove to Tucannon Meat Company for a stack of Clean Grass Fed New York Steaks for the birthday dinner.

As I drove back into town, the juicy black cherries from the ‘07 Cabernet Sauvignon tasting continued to roll around in my mouth. The entire fl avor profi le of this wine is exquisite, starting with a nosey smattering of dark chocolate, cheeks fl ushed in violet and plumy fruits with a long winding tongue wrapped in cassis and new leather.

Pepper Bridge is a winery you should not miss if you really want to get a true perspective on great wine making of the valley. One hundred percent estate grown, this winery participates in sustainable farming practices.

Because Jean Francoise’s classic wine making sig-nature resides in every bottle of Pepper Bridge wine, yours truly, Judith Henderson of Wine and Country Living, gives 98 points for the delectable Pepper Bridge ‘07 Cabernet Sauvignon; a wine French bar-reled 21 months, splashed in merlot, cab franc, malbec and petit verdot.

Ten Years AgoOctober 18, 2001

A sizable crowd was treated to a thank-you dinner last Saturday at Ye Town Hall, where the American Legion Auxiliary surprised its guests with a few gener-ous donations. The Department of Natural Resources compensated the auxiliary for their efforts making sack lunches at the Lions Cookshack.

Gary Berndt, one of the fi rst-incident commanders to arrive in Waitsburg on Sept. 18—stopped by Karen Mohneys to ask if he could “borrow” her pasture, and oh, by the way (did she) know anyone who can whip up 400 lunches by sun up on Wednesday. Karen, of course, said yes and yes. She rallied the help of 20 American Legion members assisted by 24 non-member commu-nity people. By 5 a.m., the crew had 400 lunches for the Initial Attach Team ready to go.

Local fi refi ghters who worked the North Coppei Fire were Bert Aylward, John Brown, Brian Bush, Jim Callahan, Dan Cole, Glynn Davis, Marvin Eng, Louie Gagnon, Neil Henze, John Kenney, Jake Long, Gerald Mason, John Mason, Pat Mohney, Richard Naumann, Curtis Neal, Carl Peck, Frank Reser, Walt Warehime, Andy Winnett, Jim Young, Jesse McCaw, Jim Hickam and Colter Mohney.

Six members from the ambulance crew, members from Wing Air crew and Archer Aviation team, bus driver Pam Alexenko, DNR fi refi ghter Bob Allbee and Jerry and Gail Harshman from J-Har Logging also received thanks.

help her obtain this goal, including elocution, singing, dancing, acting and sight sing-ing lessons.

Her Big Break

At age 13, Little Wolf au-ditioned for the Australian TV show “New Faces.” She performed her song and she said the judges were very im-pressed.

“All of the judges were all over themselves,” she said.

She was selected to per-form later on the show’s grand finale and competed well. Next stop for her was an audi-tion for “Showcase” and she earned a spot on that show. She said she didn’t win showcase, but was chosen Miss Conge-niality and earned a place on a tour bus that traveled all over Australia for a year. Little Wolf was 16 touring the country and performing with her mother by her side every step of the way.

“After that, I was a house-hold name,” Little Wolf said. “It was a good springboard for my career.”

Little Wolf said even as a girl she had a good head on her shoulders, and her mother was protective and wouldn’t have let her get into trouble anyway.

“My mother was very strict and I had a very cloistered life,” Little Wolf said.

Dona was in no way push-ing her daughter into show business, but didn’t stand in the way of her dreams.

“I think she just knew I was serious,” Little Wolf said. “I had a lot of God-given talent, but God can only do so much. The rest is up to you.”

Little Wolf said Big Chief was very proud of her suc-cess and only became irritated when she went from being known as Big Chief’s daughter and earned her own fame, and he was referred to as “Mar-keeta’s dad.”

At age 17, she put out an album and visited Hollywood and sang at the Palomino Club.

“I was (underage) and I wasn’t supposed to be in there,” she said with a laugh. “I’d do my show and leave.”

She continued performing around the world, in places such as Fiji and Southeast Asia, and in Australia from ages 188 through 22. Then, she came back to the U.S. to continue pursuing her career.

Her album got some air play, but it didn’t go gold.

“I’d gone as far as I could in Australia,” she said. “I was ambitious.”

Her father Big Chief had

suffered a massive stroke when he was 48 years old and never wrestled again. He want-ed to come back to the U.S. at the end of his life, so that added to the reason for coming to the states permanently. He died in 1980.

But, she found America to be tough to add to her suc-cesses. She said she sounded and looked different from other American performers at that time and she had trouble furthering her career.

“They didn’t know what to do with me,” she said.

Six years later at age 28, she decided one day to leave it all behind.

“I’d had a very good run,” she said of her music career. “I said ‘I’m not going to end up (singing) at Holiday Inn at 53.’”

A New Life

For Little Wolf, the time was right to study and get her license to sell real estate in Los Angeles. She said she was good at her new job and L.A. was exciting because there was so much to do. However, the Rodney King Riots in 1992 frightened Little Wolf and her mother, who had moved to the U.S. with her. She said random people were being dragged out of their cars and they decided to relocate.

Little Wolf said she was interested in moving to a small city. She had visited her brother in Hermiston and had been to the Walla Walla area and liked it. But, she was wor-ried Walla Walla would grow too large.

One day, she pulled out a map and started looking at cit-ies near Walla Walla. She said her fi nger followed Highway 12 from Walla Walla on the map and she went right past Dixie to a small town called Waitsburg, population 1,250. Little Wolf called a local real estate agent who sent her a vid-eo of the town and she quickly found a fi xer-upper to buy.

As soon as she drove into

Waitsburg, she still had never been there in person, she re-members saying “This is it. This is the place I’ve always wanted to live.”

In 1993, Little Wolf and her mother moved into the Preston Street house and were having trouble with a neighbor and needed some legal help. Her brother couldn’t represent her, but gave her the name of a local lawyer, Vaughn Hub-bard. Hubbard listened to Little Wolf’s legal problem and buzzed his son Michael into the offi ce. Before meeting Michael Hubbard, Little Wolf said she wanted to retire to this little town and grow a veg-etable garden. But, he changed her plans. The couple dated for about a year and married in a small ceremony. She also inherited three stepchildren.

Little Wolf had saved all of the money she made in her music career and the L.A. real estate market had been good to her, so she didn’t need to work. But, she said she got bored and took on one of her favorite jobs as a cook at the Bull’s Eye tavern during the daytime. She loved how busy it was and came up with homemade spe-cials. Michael Hubbard was her best customer, she said.

The job she’s most proud of is her position as mayor of Waitsburg from 2007-2010.

“I’ve done a lot in my life,” Little Wolf said. “I’ve sung for kings and queens, raised three rotten kids and sold millions in real estate. But being the may-or of Waitsburg is the single biggest accomplishment that I’m proud of.”

Laughing, she also says she doesn’t miss the stressful job.

Now, she continues work-ing at her husband’s law offi ce, as she has for the past 14 years, and takes care of her mother who still lives in town.

The Big Show

The idea for the show start-ed with Little Wolf and friend Steve Haberman. Haberman met Little Wolf in L.A. at

a cabaret club in 1984. She originally came to watch a show at the club and ended up auditioning as a performer, he said. Haberman was the musi-cal director of that show and he now lives and works in the Tri Cities as a musician and host of a radio show.

Haberman is the pianist for the local car show every year and Little Wolf said about a year ago, he helped her answer the question “do I have one more show in me?”

The pair has been work-ing all year on a show that is the story of Little Wolf’s life through song and pattern, she said.

Little Wolf is the set, but she’s got costumes and she thinks she will really surprise the locals who haven’t known her in the capacity of a per-former.

“If nothing else, it will be entertaining because this is one thing I know how to do,” she said.

The show is set for Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Plaza Theater at 208 Main St., in Waitsburg. Tickets are selling fast and half the theater is already fi lled, she said. She jokes that she offers a “money-back guarantee,” and really thinks the community will enjoy it. For her, it’s just a chance to get up and show off her skills that she has kept hidden for 25 years.

“It’s for my own satisfac-tion,” she said.


TOUCHET VALLEY NEWSpairs to homeowners who live on fixed incomes and would not be able to afford the expense of having the city or a contractor dig up and fi x a line.

“I have neighbors whose income has gone down,” Hall said. “A repair of $3,000 to $5,000 would be devastat-ing to them.”

Dayton Public Works Di-rector Jim Costello reiterated his reasons for supporting the ordinance amendment, saying he has had at least half a dozen cases in the past year of a “side sewer” get-ting plugged up because of tree roots or homeowners’ “abuse” of the lines.

The cases were split even-ly between those two causes, but in either event the city spent time, resources and funds to dig up the right of way, sidewalk and asphalt and repair lines that Costello said should be maintained by homeowners.

Currently, municipal code leaves the portion of the line from the homeowner’s property to the main line in the city’s domain. The proposed ordinance amend-ment would have redefi ned “side sewer” as “a sanitary sewer pipe located on private property and/or public right of way and connecting the building sewer to the col-lection system (sewer main) and shall be maintained by the connecting building sewer owner.”

Hall said he studied how other communities have handled this problem, say-ing some use city resources

Sewer(Continued from Page 1)

to address it, some have put the ball in the home owners’ courts and some have cre-ated a reserve drawn from a small portion of homeown-ers’ utility bills.

A number of council members were uncomfort-able with the idea of shifting the burden to homeowners.

“What if the line is old and it’s nobody’s fault,” Councilwoman Christine Broughton asked. “That doesn’t seem fair to the ho-meowner.”

Councilman Terry Herrin said he had “a real problem placing a higher burden on property owners.”

Council members also discussed the need to pro-vide information to residents about the location of their side sewers before home-owners make decisions, such as planting trees or shrubs in the right of way (a portion of a home owner’s property to which the city or the public has access).

The majority of the coun-cil members recognized something needs to be done to relieve the city of its cur-rent burden of repairing individual “side sewers.” They gave Costello and City Clerk Trina Cole one month to explore the possibility of setting up a communitywide sewer repair reserve.

sister in Arizona, where she had a Japanese restaurant in Phoenix.

Shortly after they moved to Arizona, the Kims opened a Japanese restaurant in Tuc-son, which they ran for al-most a decade before relocat-ing to the Seattle area in the early 1990s and opening the Seoul Olympic Restaurant in downtown Bellevue, which they ran until they sold it in 2002.

Suffering from heart trou-ble, Kyung Kim had surgery after their divestment, but was eager to work again so the family opened the “Juice

Plant” fresh juice bar inside the City Center Building at Fifth and Pike in Seattle in 2005.

After four years amidst the downtown hustle and bustle, the Kims decided they were ready for a quieter com-munity and moved to Walla Walla, where they opened “I Love Teriyaki.”

Several months ago, after two years at their Main Street location, they learned their landlord intended to raise the rent, an adjustment they couldn’t justify financially and they closed the restau-rant.

“Business was slow, but rent was very high,” Kyung Kim said. They moved to Dayton at the end of Sep-tember after Robbie Metzler,

the owner of the old bowling alley building and once a regular at “I Love Teriyaki,” suggested they consider us-ing his space, which was still set up as a restaurant.

“Everyone (in Dayton) has been like a big family to us,” she said about the help and support they have had from Daytonites ranging from the Chamber to City Hall. “There are very kind people here.”

Daytonites in turn speak highly of the Kims, who have already put their personal touches on the former Mexi-can restaurant that seats 60 in the regular dining space and as many as 100 in the adja-cent banquet room.

The restaurant will feature a wine and beer bar with a

television screen for sports games and offer a variety of barbecue style and other Asian dishes, including teri-yaki, Korean short ribs, yaki sobe, and sweet and sour chicken among others.

The Kims plan to hire two more employees for their wait staff and two more to help run the kitchen. Asian Grill will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Although Manila Bay Cafe and the General Store’s Chinese Express offer some Asian food, Dayton has room for a mid-priced Asian res-taurant that caters to families much the same way Fiesta En Jalisco does, Nysoe said.

“I’m thrilled,” she said. “This gives our community another choice.”

DAYTON - Next week’s Dayton Chamber Of Com-merce After Hours will be a block party with six businesses participating from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19.

They include the Heim Co., Mace Meadworks, Day Escape Spa, Windermere, Hometown Car-pets and Dr. Norm Passmore.Meanwhile, the chamber is seeking nominations for its awards banquet on Thursday, Nov. 3.

Chamber Director Claudia Nysoe said nomination forms are available at the chamber for four categories: Citizen Of The Year; Youth Of The Year; Business Of The Year; and Em-ployee Of The Year. This year, the event will take place at the Pavilion at the Fairgrounds. It will begin at 6 p.m., with dinner at 6:30 p.m. and award presen-tations at 7:15 p.m.

WP Skims Past Dayton In

Rivalry GameGreat Defense Made For An Intense Game Last Friday

By Tracy DanielThe Times-

WAITSBURG -- The WP Cardinals held off the Dayton Bulldogs in an old-fashioned duke ‘em out high school rival football game and remains undefeated for the season, 5-0.

The Bulldogs came out pumped up and ready to play and wasted no time lighting up the board.

The Bulldogs received the opening kickoff and began its drive on its own 35-yard line. After earning a first down that took them to the 44-yard line, quarterback Colton Bickelhaupt broke tackles and weaved through Cardinal defenders all the way to the WP 11-yard line.

The Cardinal defense held strong until 4th and 7 when Hayden Fullerton connected with Wyatt Frame in the end zone. The Bulldogs missed its extra point attempt and would have to settle for 6-0.

The Cardinals started its opening drive from its own 35-yard line on the ground. Quarterback Zach Bartlow was denied any yardage on his first carry and the Cardi-nals were forced to punt on 4th and 4 from its own 41-yard line.

The Bulldogs went to

the air on the next drive and although their hunger for the end zone was fierce they were soon shut down when Bickelhaupt was intercepted by Bartlow and returned it to the Cardinal 49-yard line.

The Cardinals slowly worked its way to the Dayton 38-yard line to face 4th and 1. The Bulldogs were called for encroachment and the Cardinals stayed alive with 1st and 10 on the Bulldog 25 yard line.

The Bulldog defense was tight as it shut down the Cardinals’ running game, but Bartlow went to the air and found Devin Acevedo for a 13-yard gain before the first quarter buzzer blew.

The Cardinals continued to plug away on the ground, but after a recovered fumble and an incomplete pass on 4th and 4, the Bulldogs took over on downs on its own 19-yard line.

The Cardinal defense was looking to take the bark out of the Bulldogs and held the team deep in its own territory, forcing the team to punt after Wyatt Frame couldn’t snag a Bickelhaupt bomb.

From its own 37-yard line, the Cardinals just couldn’t find their wings and took a turn with punting special teams and sent the ball back to the dogs with 7:55 left in the second quarter.

The Bulldogs would re-main deep in its own territory after Cardinal Greg Stearns bulldozed Bickelhaupt back for a loss of four and the Bulldogs punted once again.

With 4:13 left in the half,

Bartlow fumbled the snap and the Bulldogs recovered on its own 30-yard line.

After just three plays and 8 yards of offense, it was time for the Bulldogs to punt again.

Nearly two minutes re-mained, but a Cardinal hold-ing call and an incomplete pass ended any hopes of a first half Cardinal touch-down, and the Bulldogs held the big red birds scoreless.

The Bulldogs came out in the second half bold and dar-ing with an onside kick that they recovered after Cardinal Chance Leroue made first contact.

From the WP 40-yard line the Bulldogs would get set back 5 yards after an in-eligible receiver was found downfield.

Trying the air attack once more was Bickelhaupt,

but Cardinal Justin Zuger jumped into the action for his first of two interceptions of the night and the Cardinals took back the ball on its own 42-yard line.

“If there was a game ball to hand out tonight Zuger would get it,” said Head Coach Jeff Bartlow. “He plays with 100 percent will, honesty, and integrity.”

The Cardinals didn’t get a chance to turn Zuger’s interception into anything because of Bickelhaupt pick-ing off Bartlow on 2nd down.

The Bulldogs were look-ing for some offense of its own on 3rd and 10, but Bick-elhaupt was greeted once again by Stearns for a loss of 14, and the Bulldogs special teams would once again see some field time.

DAYTON -- In a victory that showed little doubt who domi-nates the league, the Bulldogs beat Walla Walla Valley Acad-emy in three games Tuesday night despite a late rally from the Knights.

That win and Asotin’s de-feat at the hands of Waitsburg Prescott the same night pro-pelled Dayton to the no. 1 spot in the Blue Mountain League.

“So far so good,” Bulldogs’ head coach Shannon Turner said after Tuesday’s game. “I like the direction we’re going.”

The Bulldogs are now 8-1, the best record in the league after the Panthers fell 7-2 fol-lowing the Cardinals’ victory on Kison Court.

But after losing to Asotin at

home earlier this season, Day-ton had to dig deep to overcome the Panthers in their den.

The Dayton Lady Bulldogs were barking up a storm after handing the Asotin Panthers its first loss of the season last Thursday night.

The battle began with the Bulldogs scoring first on a Nicole Lambert serving ace. The Bulldogs kept focused and communicated well, keeping its blocking and attacking cover-age strong.

Asotin was having trouble landing its serves in bounds and the referees weren’t letting anything slide as Asotin was repeatedly called for lifts and double hits.

The Bulldogs had the oppor-tunity to take game one with the score 24-20, but Asotin’s Jalisa Jose sent an attack to Bulldog Courtney Mings that just had too much on it.

It took 12 more plays to finish game one, with Asotin winning, 30-28.

The Bulldogs scored first in game two from another missed Asotin serve. A kill from McK-ayla Bickelhaupt and three straight serving aces from her would give the Bulldogs a 12-8 lead.

The two teams exchanged missed serves and kills to a 20-all tie, but the Bulldogs missed the next serve and the Panthers took the lead, 21-20.

The Bulldogs took back the lead, 23-22, with a Lambert kill, but was then called for a double hit two plays later to put the Panthers at game point.

Asotin’s McKayla Swear-ingen sent an attack deep into the Bulldogs’ left corner for the game-winning kill taking game two, 25-23.

Down two games, it was do-or-die time for the Bulldogs and they came out biting in game three.

Seven unforced Panther er-rors and two kills from Darci Hall contributed to a 14-6 early Bulldog lead.

The Panthers pulled it to-gether for a six-point rally, but another missed serve and a Bickelhaupt kill still had the Bulldogs up, 16-12.

Bulldog Mings dug up a gruesome Jose attack and the Bulldogs returned it to the Pan-ther court and scored once more when the Panthers literally dropped the ball. The Bulldogs widened the gap, 21-13.

The Times

WAITSBURG --The WP Lady Cardinals held on strong to take down the no. 1 ranked Asotin Panthers Tuesday night at Kison Court.

The Cardinals wasted no time getting down to business jumping to a 7-3 lead from two Ronnie Hulce kills and a serv-ing ace from Krystal Harris.

The Panthers took its first timeout to try and break things up, but came back with a failed attack and faced another Hulce kill, putting the Cardinals up, 10-3.

Cardinal freshman Saman-tha Fedderson made her varsity debut with a block of Asotin’s superstar Jalisa Jose, but it would sail out of bounds and the Panthers made side out.

A missed Panther serve and two kills from Cardinal Rhian-non Chapman along with two dropped volleys on Asotin’s part would give the Cardinals a 16-6 lead and force Asotin to take its second time out.

Another Chapman kill and a Cardinal block combined with two more failed Panther attacks took the Cardinals to a 20-6 lead.

The Panthers rallied for points on unforced Cardinal er-rors, but a kill from Hulce and Harris and a double block from Harris and Dionna Baker put the Cardinals within reach of game point, 23-17.

Another Harris kill and a lift call of the Panthers would seal a game one victory for the Cardinals, 25-20.

The Panthers took the first three points of game two with

kills and Harris said “enough” and sent a kill and a serving ace to the Panthers to tie the game at 3.

The Cardinals found them-selves in the net and Jose sent two kills to the Cardinals before Fedderson blocked Jose at the net again to put the Cardinals down 6-7.

The Times

P R E S C OT T – S t . George’s Dragons had a quick, powerful start to Fri-day’s soccer game against the WP Tigers, but the Tigers stepped up its game and ended the battle with a 3-3 tie.

The Dragons were fast out of the gate Friday at Prescott High School scor-ing two goals quickly in the fi rst half.

The Tigers were up to the challenge of slaying the dragons and Luis Fernando Torres Escalante took ad-vantage of an open shot to the net and scored a first goal for WP with 16 min-utes left in the fi rst half.

St. George’s had trouble keeping the game on its side of the fi eld and made shooting mistakes that add-ed up to missed goals.

The game was tied with just three minutes left in the first half there was a scuffle near the WP goal and Escalante had once again managed to sneak the ball into the net, putting the scoreboard to 2-2.

WP and St. George played fast and hard in the first half, and St. George injuries slowed the second half tremendously.

The Dragons made some great shots at goals, but the

WP goalie Pedro Mendoza was great at stopping what-ever came his way.

WP continued to track the ball well, but later had the whistle blown because of touching the ball with their hands and even two yellow cards during the game.

The Dragons upped the score with a goal 22 min-utes left in the second half, and WP snuck another one past the Dragons with 9 minutes left, tying up the score again, 3-3.

WP Coach Mark Grimm said his team didn’t play poorly considering its op-ponent, but it didn’t go well because his team lacked communication on the fi eld.

“We’ve just got to play better fundamental soccer,” Grimm said.

The Tigers are halfway through the soccer season, he said, and the kids played hard. This just wasn’t a milestone game.

“This wasn’t an im-provement, but it wasn’t a letdown,” Grimm said.

In other WP soccer news, WP lost to Riverside Christian 4-1, on Oct. 4.

The only WP goal was scored by Lino Diaz and assisted by Aldair Escalan-te. Mendoza was in the net with 10 saves.

On Oct. 8, WP played Trout Lake and won the game, 3-1. Diaz scored all three goals.

Assists were made by Enrique Balderas, Francis-co Gonzalez and Escalante. Pedro Mendoza had six saves.

WP Meets Tough Competition In Richland


WAITSBURG – It was a learning experience that wielded success for the WP Cardinals at the Richland Invitational on Oct. 8.

The Cardinals had been gearing up for this piv-otal meet because it brought tons of competition from all over, WP cross country coach Joanna Lanning said.

WP runners Seth Deal and E.J. Meserve were part of the 800 male runners who competed on Saturday.

“It’s bigger than state,” Lanning said of the com-petition.

Meserve competed in a freshman-sophomore race and placed 26th with a time of 18:24. Deal competed in the 5K varsity race and crossed the line 23rd with a time of 15:58.

In the middle school race, Emily Adams was the fi rst seventh grader across the fi nish line of the 5,000 meter race and placed sixth overall.

The tough competition on Saturday showed the Cardinals that they’re im-proving, but they need to keep working hard, Lan-ning said.

“We still had a really good time,” she said. “It was fun to watch.”

The courses were fast as promised, yielding quick fi nish times overall.

Lanning said Deal got boxed in for about one mile in his 5K race because it was a larger race with more runners than he is used to.

Now, the Cardinals have a bit of a break before its next meet Oct. 19 at Pend-leton. The team will step up the hard workouts in the meantime.

“It will give us the advan-tage of getting more quality work in,” she said.

The Dayton Bulldogs did not participate in the Richland meet, but one run-ner competed Oct. 5 at the Whitman Mission Adven-ture. Micah Yeater placed second in the six-person race with a time of 21:26.

A serving ace from Bick-elhaupt and a kill from Lexie Ramirez put the Bulldogs at game point and they took game three 25-14, after a Panther at-tack went deep out of bounds.

The Bulldogs benefited from five unforced Panthers errors in the beginning of game four and kills from Bickelhaupt, Mings and Shelby Smith gave them an 11-6 lead.

The Panthers rallied with two serving aces and six kills on the way to a 19-all tie,

Bickelhaupt used her tip down the net line to take back the lead and the Bulldogs pumped out one of their 90 digs of the night to put them up by two.

An illegal attack and double hit call on Asotin’s Jose put two more on the board for the Bulldogs, but they missed an attack and a block fell on their side and the game was soon tied at 24.

Another lift call on the Pan-thers put the Bulldogs at game point and they took a game four win 26-24 from a Panther at-tack sailing deep out of bounds.

The Bulldogs were first to light the board in game five and faced three ties with the Pan-thers throughout the game on its way to a16-14 victory.

It was a see-saw point for point game that had kills from Lambert, Bickelhaupt and more

serving aces from Chelsea Wooldridge.

The Bulldogs spent the week preparing its hitting and block-ing coverage and it showed on the court. They did an excellent job keeping tabs on attackers and they communicated and flowed on the court.

“We’re really starting to play as a team and seeing things on the court that we practice every day,” Turner said. “We are get-ting stronger on the net each game and continuing to play good defense.

“Winning games 3, 4, and 5 after losing the first two was a huge step. I’m seeing progress every match that we play.”

Bickelhaupt racked up 10 kills, 19 digs, and 6 serving aces. Hall was hot on her heals with 6 kills, 18 digs, and 9 as-sists. Lambert threw in 6 kills, 16 digs, and 2 serving aces while Shelby Smith was glued to the net with 4 blocks and threw down 6 kills.

Jessica Tate had 100 percent serving and got her knees dirty with 18 digs.

Freshman Sarah Phillips contributed 5 digs and Lexie Ramirez added 3 kills.

Dayton was off to a comfort-able start against WWVA on Tuesday night, winning the first game 25-9. A variety of Bull-dogs kills and aces overcame the Knights’ dysfunctional op-position.

Dayton started more slowly in game two, but warmed up to

take the lead and beat WWVA 25-12. Game three was the most hard-fought with the Knights rallying to try to extend the evening and take an easy win away from Dayton.

Underdogs in this encoun-ter, the Knights pulled out some scrappy plays to pull alongside Dayton 11-11 and even move ahead 12-11 before giving up their lead. With much grace under pressure, the Bulldogs stayed ahead just a point or two for most of the rest of the game to shut out WWVA 25-23.

On Tuesday, Lambert went 21-21 serving, had 5 kills and 7 digs; Wooldridge was 16-18 serving and had 4 aces; Tate went 11-11 serving with 9 digs; Smith had 5 kills; Hall posted 3 kills, 11 assists and 7 digs; Bickelhaupt had 12 kills and 8 digs; and Philips had 5 digs.

Dayton faces just three more league opponents before the end of the season: Tri Cities Prep, DeSales and Liberty Christian, all of which they’ve beat earlier in the season.

from Harris and Sarah Mascall, but the Panthers answered with two kills of their own to jump to a 15-6 lead.

Although the Panthers once again struggled with serving, they continued to attack the Cardinals with a vengeance and took a game three victory 25-16 with a serving ace.

Hulce sent a screamer to the Panthers that they couldn’t touch, and Chapman tipped a block back into the Panther court and the Cardinals contin-ued to shut down the Panthers 14-4 giving the Panthers no choice but to take another timeout.

The Panthers came back to score three unanswered points with two kills and a serving ace but Harris sent a tip down the net line and Chapman racked up a serving ace to set the Car-dinals on their way to a 19-9 lead. The Panthers rallied with two serving aces and four kills, but were unable to return a vol-ley to the Cardinals and had a block go out of bounds to give the Cardinals a game four win, 25-17.

Asotin opened up game five with two kills, but the Cardinals answered with a Hulce kill and three serving aces from Mascall to take a 6-3 lead and force the Panthers into a timeout.

Chapman threw down two kills to take the Cardinals to an 11-6 lead and another Panther timeout.

The pressure was on for the big red birds, but the Panthers botched the next serve and the Cardinals erupted in screams and cheers to celebrate a long-awaited victory.

“It’s really exciting to get this win,” said Harris. “We changed up our line up a little bit to have a bigger front row and it worked.”

“This feels amazing,” said Chapman. “As a personal goal I worked on not letting any frus-tration show out on the court and just stayed tuned into the

game I needed to play.”“Sam was a great addition to

our front-row defense tonight,” said Chapman. “She does a great job getting her hands on the ball at the net and that’s what we needed tonight.”

Hulce led with 11 kills, 21 digs, and four blocks. Huxull threw up 15 assists and dug up 7 attacks.

Harris had 10 kills, 6 digs, and 3 aces while Chapman had 7 kills. Baker had 6 kills, 6 blocks, and 6 digs while Mas-call had 100 percent serving.

The Cardinals next chal-lenge on their way to bid for a home playoff game will be next Tuesday in Walla Walla against the DeSales Fighting Irish at 6 p.m.

The Bulldogs took back possession after its defense held the Cardinals to another punting situation.

The Cardinals defense would return the favor and the Bulldogs would kick it away with 5:14 left in the 3rd.

Another encroachment penalty on the Bulldogs would set the Cardinals on the 41-yard line with 1st and 5. The Birds didn’t stay there long as Billy Brown broke through up the middle and dragged a couple of Bulldogs on his heels all the way to the WP 4-yard line, setting the Cardinals for 1st and goal.

A Bartlow keeper and an extra point from Jose Barra-jas fl ashed 7 on the board and the Cardinals were up by one.

The Bulldogs wasted no time marching down the fi eld to start the fourth quarter and soon found itself well within fi eld goal range on the WP 6-yard line, but were kick-ing themselves after the fi eld goal attempt was wide on the

left side and the Cardinals took over on their own 20-yard line with 8:35 left in the game. The Bulldogs would have the ball returned to them after a Cardinal punt and had three minutes left to make something happen.

From its own 14-yard line the Bulldogs faked a punt on 4th and 15 and Bickelhaupt found Garett Turner for a 30-yard reception. The Bulldogs took a time out with 1:11 remaining. Forty-eight sec-onds remained when Zuger picked off Bickelhaupt for the second time and returned it to the Dayton 36-yard line.

There was nothing left to do but for the Cardinals to take victory formation and send the Bulldogs back to the doghouse.

“My hats off to Dean Bickelhaupt and his Bull-dogs,” said Bartlow. “Defen-sively there are tough and physical and they came to play.”

“Every yard on both sides was grudgingly earned,” said Bartlow. “We needed a close game to put things in per-spective. This is a huge win and a relief.”

What is the rule of thumbfor determining windchill? ?Answer: Subtract 1 degree oftemperature for every 1 mph ofwind speed.

The parking lot behind Dingle’s is a great place for a sculpture park with benches and a performance space, he said. Or, the city could add a basketball court for teens or an open pavilion with a canopy for music events. Another option for that land is to clear it and sell it so a company could build on it, Dougherty said.

On the north edge of Commercial Avenue where there are homes, he said trees should be planted in the city right of way to create an edge to the corridor and de-emphasize the mismatched buildings.

The Depot wouldn’t be changed much, but he said the task force may want to remove trees between the

courtyard and the new sign restoration project so the community can enjoy the artwork more.

Dougherty extended the vision a bit to include the Columbia County Court-house. He said he would like to see groupings of trees added to the corners of the courthouse property, a new connection to the steps on the north side of the court-house and even a fountain on the north side.

“It could be another gem on Commercial Street,” Dougherty said.

Also, he said there is strong community support for re-establishing the gal-lows on the courthouse prop-erty to honor its history.

“There is something in-triguing about it,” Dougherty said.

At the west end of Com-mercial, he liked the historic

schoolhouse and planned garden, and said he would like to see an overlook of the river and eventually a pedestrian and bike path from the alley between Main and Commercial across the Touchet River.

With the first drafting stage complete, Bosch said next the team will combine the input and edits of the drawings into a conceptual master plan.

She said the task force should get this master plan in one month.

The community will need to initiate phase two, she said, which is to prioritize projects in the corridor and get all of the necessary con-struction documents. Phase three is the completion of the projects.

“The project has been a lot of fun and there’s lots of energy,” Dougherty said.

Fall Cleanup Starts Earlier In DaytonDAYTON - Fall cleanup

in Dayton will begin a week sooner than usual, according to Public Works Director Jim Costello.

Pickup from the alleys will get underway Nov. 7, starting on the north end of

town and work south. All ma-terials must be compostable with garden waste, vines, shrubs and tree and shrub trimmings no larger than 2.5 inches across at the largest end (about the diameter of a pop can).

Grass clippings, sod with dirt, rocks, bricks, garbage, roofing, metal, etc. are not acceptable.

“If we come by and your items are not out, we will not come back for them,” Costello said.

City crews will not be picking up bagged leaves. That’s a job Basin Disposal will take on with a separate truck outside regular Mon-day and Thursday routes. The dates for leaves pickup are Nov. 14, 21 and 28.
