    Drew Lawson|Updated Feb 1, 2024

    It’s the cold of winter. Temperatures hover, apparently, anywhere between -10 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. On a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday night, where do Lincoln County citizens like to spend their time? At a local high school, taking in a high-level basketball game or wrestling meet. What funds those events? Levies. High school students have worked hard on researching agricultural issues, familiarizing themselves with ag-related skills and studying their knowledge of the a...

  • EV battery recycling a huge effort

    Don C. Brunell|Updated Feb 1, 2024

    Each year Americans throw away more than three billion batteries constituting 180,000 tons of hazardous material.

  • State parks failing at Palouse Falls, Lyons

    Roger Harnack|Updated Feb 1, 2024

    Two years ago, Washington State Parks bureaucrats in Tumwater hatched a plan to address so-called “overcrowding” at Palouse Falls. The plan was to close and relocate the campground to Lyons Ferry, require permits to visit Upper Palouse Falls and to end hiking and exploring in and around the main Palouse Falls basin. The effort also eliminated kayaking access on the upper Palouse River. And to make the effort sound legitimate, those city-dwelling bureaucrats called Palouse Fal...

  • Welcome to My Kitchen

    Laura Estes|Updated Feb 1, 2024

    Bowl game gatherings call for savory buffets of easy to prepare and eat foods. Chili is a great make ahead dish, made from scratch or heated from a can. It holds well in a slow cooker. Chili Con Carne is a recipe in my dad’s cigar box recipe collection. I am guessing this is a recipe he acquired in the 1950’s because the can sizes were listed as one pound, but in the 1960’s manufacturers began the 15-ounce cans. This meaty chili recipe is easy to double or triple for a crowd...

The victory was Reardan's 11th in its last 12 games and sixth straight. Reardan's stifling defense and fast-breaking offense overwhelmed the Bulldogs from the opening tip-off.

    REARDAN - In a rematch of a game Kettle Falls won in December, the Screaming Eagles defeated the Bulldogs 44-39 on Senior Night Tuesday, Jan. 30.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 7-7. As the Bulldogs' shooting woes continued in the second quarter, Reardan extended its...
