REARDAN – Some area residents are concerned about a perceived increase in wolf presence in Lincoln County. Three wolf sightings have been reported or discussed in the Lincoln County area recently. On Dec. 1, 2022, Brett and Angela Bishop saw a wolf 40 feet from their house several miles south of Edwall. The wolf sauntered by until the Bishops' Malamute/Great Pyrenees dog saw it and started barking. The wolf went after the dog. Brett Bishop intervened and chased the wolf with his car. "That is the first wolf I've ever s...
HARRINGTON-Gary Cox and Carol Richey were enjoying new beginnings here last Christmas break. The couple engaged to be wed in April 2024 had moved themselves and their five children from Spokane seeking a smaller city experience and better schooling for the kids.

REARDAN - On Jan. 3, the Liberty Lancers traveled to Davenport and destroyed the Gorillas 60-38.

And no win in that stretch was more dominant than what Davenport did to rival Reardan Tuesday, Jan. 24. The Gorillas traveled for the Winterfest rivalry and won 67-14. The outcome was never in doubt, as...

DAVENPORT - Inventory and financial issues persist, but locally-owned Hardy Hardware still plans to make a transition to join the Ace Hardware franchise, executive assistant Kayla Meise said Wednesday, Jan. 25.

DAVENPORT - The local high school FFA team has come within one or two places of a first-place finish at state in Nursery Landscape the last two years, but hasn't been able to notch that first-place spot to qualify the school for the national competition.
