KENNEWICK -- The Walla Walla boys won 13 of 17 events in their head-to-head dual with Southridge to beat the Suns 92-53 as part of a sweep of a four-team Columbia Basin Big Nine meet in Kennewick that gave the Blue Devils the league title.
The Southridge girls swept their half of the meet to clinch the dual-meet crown for the third consecutive season. Emma Murillo threw an area-best 132 feet, 3 inches, to win the javelin, and a career-best 38-0 1/2 to win the shot put, Chelsea Bourque swept the hurdles races and Kasey McNeill won the 100 and 200 meters and long jump while anchoring the victorious 4x100.
-- Richland senior Jessica Christian cleared a school-record 12 feet, 5 inches in the pole vault at a four-team Columbia Basin Big Nine track meet at Kennewick.
Christian's vault moves her to No. 7 on the all-time state list.

Port of Walla Walla
Port of Walla Walla
There have been several attempts to defend the Port of Walla Walla's "so-called" transparency. The simple fact is the Port of Walla Walla does not audio tape its meetings, choosing instead to take handwritten notes for scheduled "regular" public meetings.
By comparison, the Walla Walla County Board of Commissioners, Walla Walla City Council, College Place City Council and Waitsburg City Council all choose to audio tape their meetings. The port commission has chosen to ignore an easy, inexpensive step toward greater transparency.
Having spoken publicly at many port meetings, I find that the final reporting of public comments in their "minutes" is perfunctory at best, often leaving out highly important, pivotal information. Without an audio tape, the port is freely allowed the opportunity for denial.
