CHENEY – What started as a high powered offensive aerial assault, was slowed to a stop as the Eagle defense was able to stand strong and win the annual Red/White Spring scrimmage 43-35 on April 28. The offense got to work quickly putting up some big passes and with quarterbacks scrambling and extending plays. Wide out Miles Williams caught a couple of early passes, one of them being an incredible one-handed grab down the sideline for a 31-yard gain. To top off the drive, q...

This session saw some bipartisan successes as lawmakers and citizens were in Olympia together for the first time in nearly three years. That in-person interaction is always key for working relationships and good workable solutions to our state’s problems. The transportation budget and capital budget were both very bipartisan. Republicans were allowed to give input and Democrat budget writers worked to fund projects important to legislators on both sides of the aisle. Sen. Schoesler was the lead negotiator for Senate R...
By Sen. Judy Warnick, R-Moses Lake, Republican Caucus Chair Beef Day is the second-best day of the legislative session, next to the last day. Probably the best news about the 2023 legislative session is that we adjourned on time, although there are grumblings from even the governor that he may call for a special session to deal with flawed drug-possession law problem known as the Blake decision. More about that later. As a state senator representing large parts of eastern Washington and chair of the Senate Republican Caucus,...
By Douglas Brunell The Cheney city council is not a democracy, but, rather, it is communism. There are three mistakes that the Cheney city council made that proves that this is communism in the Cheney city council, which are as follows: The Cheney city council stated that even if they vote “no” on rezoning, Tarbert can still close the park, evict everyone, and make us all homeless. This makes no sense at all because if Tarbert closed the park without the city council approval rezoning, Tarbert would lose millions of dol...

Carol Beason 20 April 2017 Pictures are reminders that this moment will never come again. We are frozen in time for that moment. We will never be here with each other exactly like this again. Collecting family photos has kept me connected since I left my family of origin so many years ago when I set out on a long adventure and created my own family. Looking at pictures of family members, warts and all, always helped buffer the intense homesickness that I felt, at times, that emphasized being so far from home. Pictures can be...
It seems spring is in a hurry to catch up after the long, long, cold winter. All of a sudden grass is green, buds are bursting and birds are looking for housing. We gardeners are caught up in the frenzy as well. There are remnant leaves to rake, winter damage to access and warm weather plans to put in place. It is still time to apply low release fertilizer to most plants except Rhododendrons, Azaleas and blueberries. They should be fertilized after blooming with an acidic based application. It is a little early to transplant...

To some, baseball is the furthest thing from being a game of inches. There’s 90-feet between bases, it’s 60 feet, 6 inches from the pitcher’s mound to home plate and it generally takes a minimum of a 300-foot-plus shot to hit a home run. But for Medical Lake last week in a crucial Northeast A League game at Colville, the difference between a Cardinal victory and the eventual 6-5 walk-off win by the Crimson Hawks April 29 was mere inches. Earlier in the season Medical Lake...
