DAVENPORT – Christmas is a time for cheer, a time to be merry, a time to be with loved ones …and a time to acquire more new items than one needs. Inevitably, the influx of holiday gifts prompts many to look at donating or throwing away their old items.

Still functioning despite the COVID-19 pandemic and tucked a couple blocks behind Safeway in Davenport lies the Lincoln County Car...

Businesses are closing daily, residents across the state are protestin...

With news that lawmakers will primarily be conducting business remotely next year also comes the exciting announcement of expansive remote testimony for citizens....

The world after nine years of conflict and feeble diplomacy, is as close...
