WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Association of Wheat Growers is objecting to a biased report designed to push Democratic efforts to breach dams on the lower Snake River. In comments opposing the dam-breaching effort and one-sided report, Wheat Growers CEO Chandler Goule said the organization is concerned about the push by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Shoreline, and Gov. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island. “The dams play a vital role in providing a safe, efficient and affordable way for wheat farmers to get their product to mar...

CHENEY-A flip of the calendar to September means that for most seasons, it's time to hunt. Many big game, small game and bird hunts began Sept. 1, while others begin later in the month or into October. The hunting season looks more promising for deer opposed to last year, when the animal was ravaged by disease that particularly hit white-tail populations. "Last year really took a toll on white-tail especially, but we saw it in mule deer too," Fish and Wildlife Officer JoLynn...
Since the Davenport Times and Odessa Record merged to create the Lincoln County Record-Times, our two-person news staff has worked together to report on news, community and sports items in Davenport, Odessa, Reardan, Harrington and the surrounding areas in Lincoln County. Leveraging that staff to turn in a small-town weekly paper that goes up against any small paper in Eastern Washington quality-wise has been hard, but rewarding work. Now, we’re looking to expand that even further with paid and volunteer opportunities. We a...
I recently had the opportunity to review all 50 state constitutions and confirmed an important fact for the current capital gains income tax litigation in Washington. Although most state constitutions mention how real, personal, tangible or intangible property should be taxed, the vast majority don’t define those terms. Of those that define property, Washington’s constitution has the broadest definition. This is why our state supreme court has repeatedly ruled that in ord...
‘Revisionist’ history more complete If the only way you learn history is from the promoted myths of statues, place names or street names, then you have only yourself to blame for your misguided sense of injury. The revisionist history that offends you offers a more complete picture of the history of broken treaties, difficult native-settler relations and broader inclusion of points of view of historical events. History is far more nuanced and interesting than cardboard heroes and white manifest destiny. It is time to pay mor...

The fair is a veritable smorgasbord, orgasbord, orgasbord, orgasbord, after the crowds have gone. So says Goose in the 1973 movie version of Charlotte’s Web by E.B White. And so it is, but not just after hours. My favorite childhood memories of the fair revolve around food and freedom the fair brings to us. Fair time, for younger me, was a time to run wild between the aisles of rides, games of chance and of course, food vans. All the bright lights, vibrant colors, larger than life imagery painted on the ride backgrounds m...
For a relatively out of the way league, tucked away in the largely rural parts of far Eastern Washington, the Northeast A has become mighty tough when it comes to girls’ soccer. Deer Park is the defending 1A state champions with plenty of additional horsepower coming from Freeman and Lakeside on a regular basis. It’s Dan Collins’ challenge as he approaches his third season as head coach to try to make Medical Lake competitive in the NEA after a drought where since 2018 the p...

Fast start propels G-Prep win over Cheney In a matter of a few minutes in the first quarter Sept. 2, the Cheney Blackhawks went from locking up in a dandy football duel with defending 2021 Greater Spokane League to shooting themselves in the foot. Trailing 14-0 on a pair of Lilomaicua Mikaele touchdowns, Cheney forced a G-Prep turnover. It was not long before Jakeb Vallance found Cole Palmer over the middle for what appeared to be a long touchdown play but a holding call negated the score. Then came the crusher. As time...

Chloe Pattison scored Eastern’s winning goal in the 81st minute as Eastern improved to 1-3-2 on th...
