DAVENPORT—It can be an easy trick to fall victim to: A call comes from an unrecognized number. Perhaps this caller is informing someone that they owe money to the bank, or that their child has been arrested and needs bail money over the phone. However, almost always, these calls are not legitimate, and people that give money to these scammers are being duped. But when one has a landline without caller identification, or can’t tell whether a request for money is legitimate or fake, how can they figure out some telltale sig...
ODESSA — A woman with an address here was arrested and released from Lincoln County Jail on March 2 on a charge of animal cruelty after appearing in Lincoln County Superior Court.

Code Publishing Co. has done code publishing work for many smaller municipalities around the state, including Davenport, Harrington, Odessa, Wilbur...
REARDAN – Substitute House Bill 1356, which would ban the use of Native American names, symbols or images as public school mascots, logos or team names has passed through the House fairly convincingly and is in committee in the Senate, indicating it may be well on its way to passing legislature and landing on the governor’s desk. However, after advocacy from superintendent Eric Sobotta and an amendment to the bill inserted before passing through the House, the bill wouldn’t apply to the Reardan-Edwall School District, which...

DAVENPORT – While their first half included coughing up two fumbles, Reardan’s offense got going against Davenport when junior Cody Sprecher took a backwards pass 78 yards to the house with five minutes left in the first quarter.

SPOKANE – Senior Darby Soliday had already found the net multiple times in each of Davenport’s first three games.

Soliday now has 15 goals in five games. Saturday’s win for Davenport exacted some revenge over a Dragons squad that won at Davenport in the first game of the season Feb. 25 3-2. Soliday’s three goals all came in the first 20 mi...
DAVENPORT – The city is required per state law to periodically update their six-year street plan. Therefore, council was presented with an updated street plan that included projects, funding sources and what stage of planning or preparation each project was in at council's Feb. 24 meeting. The only projects with grant money already awarded are this year's airport runway reconstruction (FAA grant) and an ADA transition plan (Quadco funds). Most projects beyond 2021 are in t...
DAVENPORT – After originally not including teachers and childcare workers in the current 1B phase of vaccination, Gov. Jay Inslee pivoted and declared educators and licensed childcare workers should be added to the current phase “immediately.” Inslee’s flip came after President Joe Biden issued a directive that all states should prioritize the vaccination of educators and childcare workers. Inslee said he will “soon” announce when the state will prioritize grocery store workers, farmworkers, food processors, bus drivers and...

REARDAN – The school board didn’t discuss or approve many groundbreaking or town-altering items at its Feb. 24 meeting, but the docket was full nonetheless. The meeting included a presentation from mayor Gail Daniels, who highlighted the developing partnership between the town and school district. A part of that is the pathway that’s being developed from the school that will connect with the path heading to the baseball fields and the readerboard project that’s still in progress. She also mentioned her hopes to partner with a...
DAVENPORT – The number of COVID-19 cases is down to three in Lincoln County as of press time, but the death counts suffered in big cities like New York and Los Angeles has left many funeral homes overrun in the past year. Many needed assistance from small town funeral homes around the county. That's when Manager Mike Strite and Director Dan Verhuel of Strate Funeral Home stepped in. The two have traveled to New York, Miami and taken one trip to Orange County, California e...
DAVENPORT – The defending 2B state soccer champions have notched a loss, tie and win so far this season in a strange, shortened 2020-21 "fall sports" season. Some late-game heroics from Davenport's Darby Soliday were overshadowed by even later heroics from St. George's Margreit Galow. Galow scored a high-arching goal from about 25 yards out in the last minute and the Dragons topped the Gorillas 3-2 in the season opener Feb. 25. Soliday tied the game with her second goal w...
ASOTIN – The first game of this truncated fall season didn’t go Davenport’s way last Friday. The Gorillas fell to Asotin 14-6 in a sloppy, defensive-minded road fest to open the 2021 “fall sports” docket. Davenport’s lone score, a three-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Evan Gunning, was set up on a 35-yard runback by senior Skyler Henry off a mishandled snap from Asotin punter Gavin Wood. Brenick Soliday’s extra point attempt was blocked. Asotin held a slim lead at halftime 7-6, and added a second-half t...
DAVENPORT-This time, it was the Gorillas doing the sweeping. After getting swept in their first two matches against Lind-Ritzville/Sprague and Liberty, Davenport (1-2) bounced back in a big way Thursday with a convincing victory over the Chewelah Cougars (1-1) in straight sets (25-17, 25-7, 25-12). It was Davenport's first victory over Chewelah since the two teams began playing twice a year in league play in 2018. "The girls came out strong and they executed the things we...
REARDAN – Council’s Feb. 18 regular meeting consisted of five new business items, treasurer’s and mayor’s reports, a public comment and a miscellaneous item discussing a loan revision.

REARDAN – It may have been the inaugural game in program history, but that didn't stop the Reardan Indians from scoring early and often in a 7-1 drubbing of the Kettle Falls Bulldogs Tuesday, Feb. 23. Freshman Noelle Raczykowski scored the first goal for the Indians and didn't stop there, following up her first goal with a three-score rampage in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Raczykowski had four first-half goals total, and Reardan let 4-0 at intermission. Junior M...
REARDAN – Football was back in jamboree form Monday, Feb. 22, as the Reardan Indians hosted the Davenport Gorillas and Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos for varsity and junior varsity jamboree-style scrimmages. Each varsity offense played each school's varsity defense once, with the same scenario for junior varsity. Each series ran between 8-14 plays, as officials let teams finish drives, nearly all of which intentionally started at the opponent's 40-yard-line. Davenport c...
DAVENPORT-Some late-game heroics from Davenport's Darby Soliday were overshadowed by even later heroics from St. George's Margreit Galow. Galow scored a high-arching goal from about 25 yards out in the last minute and the Dragons (2-0) topped the Gorillas (0-1) 3-2 Thursday in Davenport's first game in 15 months after winning the state 2B title in 2019. Soliday tied the game with her second goal with 6:30 remaining, but the celebration was short lived after St. George's...
