DAVENPORT-Despite a strong fourth quarter, last Friday's girls basketball game against top-ranked Colfax showed the Gorillas still have a ways to go to reach the Bulldogs' level. Then again, that much is true of most 2B girls teams, as evidenced in Colfax's 60-45 victory Jan. 13 that kept the Bulldogs perfect at 8-0 in league and 15-0 overall. The Bulldogs took a quick 19-11 lead in the first quarter behind eight points from Brynn McGaughy and six points from Hailey Demler,...

January is an excellent time to clear out your pantry, take inventory and restock. I always seem to have a few things intended for the holidays that didn’t get used. Taking stock this year, I discovered a package of dates that needed to be used. Dates will last almost forever, but they will dry out and get very hard. To use them up, I made some changes to an everyday Date Bar recipe and came up with a winning combination that was favorably received at a recent quilters gathering. Date Bars Date Filling: 3 cups chopped d...

Granted, meteorological predictions aren’t perfect, but Farmer’s Almanac’s pre...
By Sen. Mark Schoesler, Rep. Joe Schmick and Rep. Mary Dye We are back at the state Capitol for the 2023 legislative session, which began Jan. 9 and is set to last 105 days, ending April 23.

In the two previous legislative sessions, citizens weren’t allowed to attend com...

Senate Democrats write that the bill “seeks to break the cycle of generational poverty by making a one-time deposit of $4,000 into an account for each b...
