It required a bit of modification, but the Cheney High School boys soccer team managed to get its first game of the year into the books. The Blackhawks rallied from a 1-0 deficit to score two second half goals en route to the 2-1 win over visiting Mt. Spokane last Friday afternoon. First, thawing snow transformed the west side of Cheney's field from wet ground to a soggy, muddy bog. The conditions forced officials to move the sideline in about six yards, narrowing that...

Once upon a time, back when airlines like Northwest Orient and West Coast flew out of Spartan quarters on the east side of Geiger Field - and smoking on flights was the norm - the joke was "You can't get there from here." No longer is that the case as over the past few months three major carriers have begun nonstop service out of Spokane International Airport to notable hub destinations. American is the most recent airline to announce future direct connections out of Spokane....

WWE will have their flagship event, Wrestlemania 33, is a few weeks away and I’m excited. For us pro wrestling fans, the event is kind of like the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards.

Like cuts of steak, or kinds of wine, some are better than others. Many might agree, any of each tastes good. So it might be, too, when it comes to the postseason in basketball. While the Eastern Washington men don’t get to chomp into hoop’s version of Filet Mignon — the NCAA Tournament — they do get to savor the taste of playing past the Big Sky regular season for a third consecutive year. That game took place last night (Wednesday, March 15) when the Eagles faced off in Lara...
Medical Lake head track coach Gene Blankenship thought he would take his athletes some place warm and dry to compete, so he bused them to usually toasty and dry Tri-Cities.

"We go down there hoping we get warm weather." While the weather was not very pleasing, the results were for...

(Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series on Cheney's marijuana manufacturing business, Pure Joy.) As Ted Youngs sees it, he can look towards the future of the business he runs for the family with a what if or a what can be attitude? He's chosen the latter when discussing Pure Joy, the marijuana production facility located in the Cheney Commerce and Industrial Park. The company opened in May 2015, the idea of former Eastern Washington University professor Bill...
