Top aligning text in HTML tables

How do I get the text in all 3 columns to align at the top?
I had to add breaks or rows in column 3 at the bottom to bring the text higher and then column 2 had the text drop lower.

Is there an easy way to always have text align at the tops of each column?

What is wrong with this coding? I want the best way to do this.

It should look like a 3 column newspaper.

you need to align the text after the table width,

<td width="178" rowspan="4">&nbsp;<p>MENU GOES HERE</td>
<td width="316" valign="top">

You might want to consider using div's for layout instead of tables

The CSS you have in the header is not used in the document.

I put this in and there is no change.
http://www.venturaresponse.com/fontana.htm

<td width="178" rowspan="4">&nbsp;<p>MENU GOES HERE</td>
<td width="316" valign="top">

Plus if I don't ad a million <br> tags in the 2and 3rd columns the text drops to the center there also.

I don't understand DIVs.

Shouldn't the valign work in each column?
