Janie Hauff, Spokane, collected personal stories of home-care workers to include in the international-themed picnic basket she made for her Representative, Cathy McMorris Rodgers. ”I’m giving her all t...

A new rail line is coming to Cheney, and while that’s a virtual certainty, safety enhancement features along the six-mile siding are still somewhat up in the air. In an information item to the City Council at its July 9 meeting, Public Works director Todd Ableman said he and City Administrator Arlene Fisher have been in negotiations with Burlington-Northern Santa Fe since late 2011, early 2012 over what he called the Cheney to Babb Double Track Project.

Head coach Beau Baldwin, who enters his sixth season at the helm, has 48 retur...
Let’s talk baseball. First up is Mariner’s outfielder/designated hitter Raul Ibanez. It’s not what’s eating Raul, rather it’s what is Raul eating? The guy’s 41-years-old and is on fire at the plate. Torrid. Sizzling. Are there any other heat-related words or metaphors I can use? Seattle signed Ibanez to a one-year deal in December 2012, which at that time had some scratching their heads. I wonder where those people are today? Ibanez’s solo home run in the fifth put Seattle up 3-2 over visiting Boston en route to an 11-4 wi...
