The Medical Lake Middle School chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) welcomed 47 new members at an induction ceremony, April 18. This year's inductees were primarily comprised of sixth-graders, as well as seventh- and eighth-graders who enrolled at the middle school earlier in the year. To join NJHS, students had to have a 3.5 GPA. Once they meet the academic requirement and are notified by facility, they need to complete the candidate application. During the...
By DICK RESCH Contributor The United Nations recently released a 2,000-plus-page report on climate change with a straightforward conclusion — global temperatures are rising, and human activity is the primary cause. The report’s 259 authors warn that catastrophic heat waves, droughts, and floods will grow more common unless governments take steps to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But there are serious political limits to what governments can do — especially with the global economy flagging. Fortunately, some private firms are...
Last Saturday I decided it was time to venture out of the apartment and head to Eagles Pub to have a beer in celebration of the Milwaukee Brewers beating the Pittsburgh Pirates. Eagles’ is a regular spot I head to whenever I’m downtown, but on this night I decided to revive an old tradition. The pub is a destination for karaoke every Friday and Saturday, and on this particular night I dusted off the vocal cords to sing AC/DC’s “Big Balls.” Some of the other patrons in the bar were cheering, though that’s probably because the...
Amidst the thrashing of filling out those last-minute 1040 forms and plenty of other concerns, the Internal Revenue Service tax filing deadline came and went a week ago Tuesday, April 15. A 4-million word tax code can certainly affect how a smoothly running life travels down the road. But this week has a pair of notable, but, perhaps, little known bookend dates unofficially linked to taxes, too. Monday, April 21 was national Tax Freedom Day while Friday, April 25 represents the day we in Washington state have satisfied...

Medical Lake defender Kouta Fitzgerald battled an unidentified Lakeside player in last Thursday's 7-2 Cardinal loss to the Eagles in Medical Lake. The Cards did earn a pair of victories, 3-2 over Riverside and 5-1 over Newport to improve to 3-2 in Northeast A League play and 6-5 overall. ML is home Saturday versus Colville in a non-league game at 4 p.m....

The Medical Lake baseball team keeps finding a way to win and it’s kept them within striking distance of Northeast A League-leading Freeman. The Cardinals (8-2 NEA, 9-2 overall) completed a week in which they went 3-1 by scoring a doubleheader sweep of Kettle Falls last Saturday, winning 8-3 and 18-9. This after a 5-3 loss at Lakeside this past Wednesday and a 6-5 win at home over Riverside. A huge showdown looms Friday at Medical Lake when Freeman (10-0, 10-1) visits for t...
Gene Blankenship will gladly embrace being wrong when the end result is better than he expected. The Medical Lake co-head track coach looked at his team’s first Northeast A League track meet — which took place in Newport last Wednesday and also featured Freeman — as a competition where his team just likely could not stack up to the favored Scotties. But they did, losing 73-72 to Freeman but beating Newport 95-44 on the boys’ side. ML’s girls edged Newport 60-59 but lost to F...
