DAVENPORT - Lincoln County was well represented at the 87th Annual Lilac Parade on Saturday as Miss Davenport, Alyssa Breedlove, made her debut as queen, despite a soggy start to the celebration. "It was her first appearance. Her brothers and sisters walked with her and her father drove, and they got dumped on with rain," said Delia Breedlove, Alyssa's mother. "By the end, she was cold and tired, but she had a great time. She loved the attention from the little girls thinking...
DAVENPORT — A new hardware store is set to open in Davenport later this summer, filling a long-standing void in the local market. Do it Best Hwy 2 Hardware is targeting a late August to mid-September opening, according to store co-owner Kerry Higgins. The business will be located at 801 Morgan Street, inside the building formerly known as Hardy Hardware and Davenport Building Supply. Business hours are still to be determined. “We’re still working with our supplier to finalize inventory and the overall product mix,” a spokespe...

FORD - A Ford man accused of illegally cutting trees and possessing stolen firearms was arraigned Tuesday, May 20, in Lincoln County Superior Court. Thomas Holt, 54, is facing three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, and third-degree theft. His bail was initially set at $15,000, but Judge Adam Walser lowered it to $10,000 during the arraignment, noting that while Holt had a history of failing to appear in court, those incidents were...

Washingtonians have good reason to be distrustful of the policies coming out of the state Capitol. While the legislation itself matters, how it’s crafted is also important – and, increasingly, there is less transparency, bipartisanship, or accountability. My goal as a state lawmaker is to work together and avoid partisanship, so I am greatly concerned that the new state operating budget was developed with little Republican input. Using the Senate as an example, our budget tea...
This week, we mark National Police Week. It's a time to honor law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty-and to show our unwavering support for those who continue to serve and protect our communities and country each and every day. From Spokane to Stevens County, the men and women of law enforcement form the backbone of public safety in Eastern Washington. They're the ones who answer the call when our homes, schools, or streets are in danger. They do...
DAVENPORT — Lincoln County Superior Court judge Adam Walser ordered the complete removal of all legal financial obligations (LFOs) against Cody James Magruder, 40, of Carlton, after finding him indigent and unopposed by the state. At a motion hearing Tuesday, May 20, the court waived all collection fees, unpaid interest and the DNA fee, and directed that discretionary LFOs—except restitution—be stricken from collections. Because Magruder lacks income and remains incarcerated, the judge determined he cannot satisfy the fees. M...
Asparagus season is in full swing. Steamed, roasted, grilled, or sliced raw in salads, so many ways to prepare this spring vegetable. Pickled Asparagus is a favorite of many and it is fairly easy to make your own. Water bath canning is all that is needed for most pickle recipes, requiring only a deep kettle, canning jars with lids and rings. I received the following recipe in 1987 from the now late, Marilyn Fink, and have shared it in this column several times. It’s a great r...
Michael Baumgartner is hostile to his constituents and generally all Washingtonians. He claims to be a “state’s rights guy”, as Republicans used to be until most congressional Republicans now cowardly won’t stand up against President Donald Trump’s wannabe all-powerful dictatorship. Accordingly, Baumgartner fell in line with House Republican colleagues by recently joining a letter from the House Judicial Committee to Washington state Attorney General Nick Brown. The letter, in effect, claims that Trump’s extremely c...

You know it's been a big week when the most exciting events in the county happen three blocks from your own driveway. I'm still reeling. If this past week were a movie, it would be called "Harrington: The Musical," starring classic cars, camera flashes, kids who now call me "camera lady," and a dog with a big attitude in a tiny package. It all started with something I've had on my calendar for nearly two months: speaking to the students at Harrington School-with some visitors...
1 years ago Pete Johnson will be the new operator of the Great Northern Station in Odessa. Mr. Johnson was the operator at Harrington for several years and made the move due to staffing cuts in Harrington. Washington Water Power announced the completion of the line between Long Lake and Stratford. The project cost $2,000,000 and took 30 car loads of copper wire and thousands of poles and a large amount of other equipment. 75 years ago Harry Heid, manager of the Union warehouse, was nearly buried in a pile of wheat. Heid...
