REARDAN–Top-notch defense was on display Oct. 20, as the soccer teams from Reardan and Davenport played to a scoreless tie until Gorillas' freshman Glenna Soliday drilled a ball into the Screaming Eagles' net with less than one minute to play in the game.

REARDAN-Before your eyes can adjust to the dark, a bone-chilling scream buckles your knees. This is not your typical train that's parked at the Inland Northwest Rail Museum. It's haunted.

Casseroles are perfect for fall days. Fragrant and warm from the oven, they make for cozy evening meals. Casseroles that are quick to fix or easy to prepare ahead are a boon to area cooks. With some area eating establishments closing for the winter and others shutting down permanently, I have been getting requests for ideas of what to fix when you can’t fill in with take out. Cheeseburger Rice, a recipe I found on the Minute Rice box nearly 30 years ago, is one of my go to mai...

This in follow up to the article written by Drew Lawson in the last publication on October 20, 2022. First off, I would like to say I am that ex-wife of the man with pending charges of rape of our daughter.

Many people have reached out in concern of the material that was in the article. If you have to put a “WARNING: This article deals with highly sensitive subjects, including sexual relations, i...

WA Cares is a mandatory social program created by the Legislature in 2019 to benefit some...
