Most Lincoln County residents have driven along US Highway 2 extending from Reardan to Almira and passing through Davenport, Creston and Wilbur. Some people notice that all of Highway 2 is bordered by agricultural fields. What people don’t always notice are the field borders that farmers install along their fields. How does the public benefit from what the farmers are doing in their fields? Field borders in particular provide cleaner and better structured roadsides. The established grasses create a stronger ground s...

Asked by Hailey, 10, Ontario Dear Hailey, Cats love attention, but we don’t get jealous like humans do. It’s one of those emotions that set human beings apart from other creatures in the animal kingdom. But I can’t imagine it’s the most pleasant. The poet William Shakespeare once called jealousy a green-eyed monster. Still, it’s an emotion that can help you navigate the world. To learn more about it, I met up with my friend Craig Parks. He’s a psychology professor at Washington State University who studies how humans tick. Hu...

Lincoln County Commissioner After seven months of waiting for an attorney general opinion, we finally have answers to our questions. All of the questions we asked revolve around RCW 46.09.360 which states that counties have the authority to open roads to “off-road vehicles.” Counties do have the authority to designate roads with a speed limit exceeding 35 mph for ORV use, but the statute specifically excludes “wheeled all-terrain vehicles.” So, the crazy part is that a four-...
