REARDAN - In many small towns, old codgers wake up early just so they can sit in a circle with their cronies, drink coffee and talk. Here, the R-Store is where the self-proclaimed "Village Elders" gather each weekday "around sixish" for what Fred Fleming calls "self-evaluation and peer counseling." Town councilman Clay Soliday, along with Ed Brommer, Ken Morrison, John Serrana and Richard Rinker joined Fleming at a gathering Friday, April 14. Ed Gray and Dick Turner, both...
Editor's note: This is part 1 of a 4-part series REARDAN - Sometimes, you just need to take a drive. Whether it's a quick 20-minute getaway or a four-hour day trip, going for a drive is a method people often employ to clear the head and see more of the world. And some of those drives are right here in Lincoln and western Spokane Counties. Over the next four weeks, we'll explore four drives that one can take in The Record-Times' coverage area. The only rules are that the drive...

ODESSA — Local farmers are gearing up to plant their crops within the next month. Many factors play into when farmers plant, including how dry the ground is, how high or low the precipitation levels are and wheat prices. For farmer Joe Bell of Reardan, planting started last fall and will continue this year when the weather is warmer. “I planted winter wheat last fall,” Bell said. “Some soft white, club and winter Canola.” Bell said this spring would be strictly soft white wheat all through. “We can’t get out to the field jus...
For the past 33 years, my wife and I have lived in a house near State Route 904, which connects Cheney to Interstate 90. When we bought our house in 1990, this highway had only a modest amount of traffic on it. Turning onto the highway was seldom dangerous. That is no longer the case.
