To taxpayers, it’s just plain common sense. Elected officials, government employees and supporting boards and agencies cannot use taxpayer resources to campaign for or against a candidate or office or to endorse or oppose any ballot measure. To make sure elected officials and employees understand that, Revised Code of Washington 42.17A.555 specifically says: “No elective official nor any employee of his or her office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office...
CHENEY -- Two Cheney School District facilities were put in lock down this morning, Nov. 8, over reports of two individuals with weapons on a nearby road. Superintendent Rob Roettger said they received a call of two young adults along Grove Road who appeared to be armed with rifles. School officials at Windsor Elementary School and Westwood Middle School on nearby Hallett Road went into lock down and contacted law enforcement. Roettger said the district's school resource officer and Spokane County Sheriff's Office deputies... Full story
SPOKANE VALLEY – The Pullman defense shut down Cheney and West Valley in the Greater Spokane League’s Kansas City tiebreaker Tuesday night to stay alive in the Class 2A high school football postseason. A sack and a recovered Cheney quarterback Alex Long fumble gave the Greyhounds the momentum they needed to top the Blackhawks, 6-0, in the first of three rounds of the tiebreaker at East Valley High School. In the tiebreaker, each team started with the ball on the 25-yard lin...
MEDICAL LAKE — The Cardinal’s final game of the season Friday night, Nov. 1, against the top-seeded Deer Park was in many ways a game of opposites. While Deer Park was at 6-0 in Northeast A League play and 8-0 overall going into the post-season, Medical Lake was the reverse: 0-6 in the NEA and 0-8 overall and done for the year. Friday’s 62-12 loss at the hands of the Stags only hammered home a very large nail in the coffin of a season most want to put behind them, and under...
By JOHN McCALLUM Managing Editor PULLMAN – Cheney High School’s girls swimming team showed that numbers and talent can go a long way – long enough to earn the Blackhawks a district championship in competition last weekend at Gibbs Pool at Washington State University. Cheney easily out-pointed perennial power and district champion Pullman to win the title, beating the Greyhounds 373-323. The Blackhawks were helped by several multiple finishes in the top-five slots — including six district titles — along with at least thr...

CHENEY - The Lady Blackhawks volleyball squad took it to both East Valley and Clarkston in Great Northern League post-season play, beating both in straight sets before going five sets in a loss to Pullman to advance in post-season play. District post-season play began on Thursday, Oct. 31, in Cheney when the Blackhawks beat the 2-10 Clarkston Bantams 25-22, 25-8, 25-12. Statistics were unavailable for the Clarkston match. Then it was on to face No. 2 seed East Valley on...
CHENEY – The Blackhawks and West Valley girls' soccer teams have battled each other all season long for the top spot in the Great Northern League – and things were no different Tuesday in the District 7 title game where once again, one goal decided things. That came in the 62nd minute, when Makenna Benson found teammate Jocelyn Cone for a goal that sent the Blackhawks to a 3-2 win, the top-seed from the GNL and a home game in regional playoff action this Saturday. Both tea...
CHEWELAH - The Medical Lake cross country crew ran their best at the Northeast A League district championships at the Chewelah Golf Course on Saturday, Nov. 2, sending 10 varsity runners on to state 1A competition. The Cardinal boys finished second overall, seven points behind Lakeside while breaking four personal records. The Card girls qualified three for state - sophomore Allison Payne, with a time of 20 minutes, 5 seconds, freshman Jenna Castro in 20:34 and junior Paige He...
COWICHE – The Cheney High School boys’ cross country team continues to up their game as the state meet approaches. The Blackhawks earned their first District 7 title since 2015 in competition at Mead High School on Oct. 26, and last Saturday turned in their highest finish at regional competition with the Central Washington Athletic Conference since that same year. Cheney finished second, trailing on 2A third-ranked Ellensburg 61-75. The Blackhawks outscored seventh-ranked Sel...
Mr. Daugharty (Letters, Oct. 17) clearly needs help interpreting history (and economics). Indeed the passage of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was necessary at the time — it established minimum wages at 25 cents an hour. Adjusted for inflation in 2018 that same wage would be $4.45/hour — hardly the $12/hour in Washington State, already set to go up to $13.50 in January, 2020. That’s effectively trying to compare today’s minimum wage scenario to paying 75 cents/hour in 1938, which clearly did not happen. As well, W...
You did it again, Cheney. It will be a warmer winter for many thanks to the hard work and generosity of the Cheney community. A total of 422 coats were donated to this year’s coat drive. Of those, 360 were given away at three separate distributions. This is the largest distribution to date. The remaining coats have been donated to the Cheney clothing exchange. Special thanks to the Cheney Kiwanis without whose work this event could not happen, Big Wash for laundering many of the coats, Copy Junction for printing the p...
With the average age of a U.S. farmer at nearly 60 years, and millions of acres expected to change hands over the next few years, military veterans have a key role to play as the nation looks for the next generation of producers. To do so, veterans will need assistance overcoming barriers, such as accessing land and the lack of assets or cash flow to purchase land, equipment, and farm inputs. Access to credit is an important component of most farming operations, especially for new and beginning producers. Farm Service Agency...
