The old notion that there is a problem getting places across the country — and the world — from Spokane is certainly something of the distant past with the most recent announcement from Spokane International Airport that yet another new non-stop flight was added. Southwest Airlines (SWA) announced Aug. 28 that it will begin daily flights to San Jose (California) International Airport starting April 8, 2018 on a 143-seat Boeing 737-700 aircraft. “We are grateful to Southwest Airlines for recognizing the strong passenger deman...
Soon the population of Cheney will grow by thousands as students return to Eastern Washington University for the 2017-18 school year. But there's another number that always seems to increase with this influx of people - car break-ins. This is not to say that students are the perpetrators, but rather a great deal of the time are those who are victimized. Statewide, thefts from motor vehicles rank No. 2 in the larceny-theft category of reported crimes at 32 percent, not far behi...
The next chapter in the AMX-Harman story seems to be in the offing. The electronics manufacturing business, once known as XN Technologies, and founded by former Eastern Washington University computer science professor Alan Hale, was an outgrowth of projects Hale and his students were working on for NASA's Space Shuttle program. Its closure was announced in July 2016 and just last week real estate signs from Kiemle & Hagood of Spokane were erected along Cheney-Spokane Road....

The last time there was a brand new football coach at Eastern Washington, it was Beau Baldwin and he visited Lubbock, Texas to play Texas Tech in his first game. The Red Raiders, then coached by current Washington State University head coach Mike Leach, rolled to a 49-24 win over the Eagles. It may have been somewhat of an auspicious start, but Baldwin’s nine years in Cheney certainly ended with many high notes. That 2008 Texas Tech team went on to tie for the Big 12 C...
His first season at the helm of the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team will be a challenging one — and road heavy — for new head coach Shantay Legans. Three Pac-12 Conference opponents and a stretch of 10-straight games away from home are the task ahead for the Eagles as their 2017-18 schedule was announced on Aug. 25. The Eagles are coming off a third-straight appearance in a national postseason tournament, and were 22-12 overall a year ago. Eastern will play eight opponents who played in postseason tourn...
Eastern soccer stumbles on road at Montana Cup The Eastern Washington University soccer team continues their longest road swing of the season with a trip to New York this week. The first game will be at Hofstra University (1-2-1) in Hempstead, N.Y. on Aug. 31 at 4 p.m., followed by a matchup on Sept. 3 at Cornell (0-0-0) in Ithaca, N.Y. at 8:30 a.m. This is the first time the Eagles will compete against either teams in program history and the matches wrap up EWU’s longest road trip of the season. After opening the season w...
Medical Lake’s fall sports season gets underway with all four teams seeing action this week. Football starts it all off on Friday, Sept. 1 at Holliday Field versus Kellogg (0-1) at 7 p.m. as second year head coach Mo Owen seeks to erase the memory of an 0-9 inaugural season for the Cards, who after a solid start versus Kellogg on the road (losing 29-24) scored just 23 points the rest of the season. Owen noted that he sees definite improvement in both defense and offense in t...
There have been many sports columnists who have driven the final nail into the Seattle Mariners’ playoff chances this season. Just as many columnists have flipped the hammer over and used the claw feature to pull out a few of those nails, giving a bit of life to alleviating Seattle fans 16-year postseason drought. I’ll be one of the latter here, but first, that postseason drought. Sure, it’s a long time, but how about a little perspective. First, postseason droughts. Up until their run to the American League champ...
Will Eastern Washington University begin to hang its hat on the defense rack in 2017? Probably not, but for the second time in a week in preseason camp scrimmages it has been the "D," that has been making a lot noise. Having held the vaunted Eagle offense out of the end zone on Aug. 19, the likelihood of that happening again was not a high probability. Eastern's offense did have its way for a while that is - scoring twice early - in the final tune up for the Eagles' season...
People who showed up to Tom Oswald Field at Cheney High School last Friday (Aug. 25) were able to enjoy the first annual Black and Red scrimmage held by the CHS football teams. It was a good way to kick off the beginning of football season, which officially starts tomorrow, Sept. 1, at Sunnyside for the Blackhawks. Before the game, there was a tailgate sponsored by the Cheney Senior All-Nighter group that offered $1 hot dogs, chips and drinks to spectators. There was also ente...
New Cheney High School Athletics Director Jeff Chandler has made the rounds when it comes to teaching and coaching, doing both at high schools of various sizes as well as coaching at the collegiate level. Of all that, it's his experience at a tiny, 1A country school east of Lynden, Wash. that Chandler enjoyed the most. "I really look back on my time in Nooksack (Valley High School) fondly," Chandler said. "It was a time I did my best teaching and coaching. It was my best...
