COLFAX – The 2021 fall football season got off to a roaring start for the hometown Gorillas Friday, Sept. 3. Davenport took a trip and trounced normal NE2B power Colfax 40-14 in the first game of the season. The Gorillas dominated a Colfax line that lost 11 seniors to graduation and controlled the clock in a meaningful way. Davenport had the ball for 39 minutes and 51 seconds, to just eight minutes and nine seconds for Colfax. The Gorillas ran for a whopping 396 yards on 50 a...
DAVENPORT--The hometown Gorillas marched the ball up and down the field in Friday night's contest against the No. 9 ranked Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos, being stopped from scoring on just two drives.

Davenport fell to 1-1 with a 25-24 loss at the hands of the Broncos, while LRS improved to 2-0 to start the 2021...

REARDAN – The Reardan football varsity boys didn’t see their season start the way they wanted it to.

By Drew Lawson The Times DAVENPORT – Another round of negotiations between Lincoln County and Teamsters 690 took place Monday, Aug. 30 in a special extension of the county commissioner’s Aug. 16 meeting. The talks indicated the two sides may be close to an agreement for the first time in five years, but still have some gaps to bridge before the process is complete. Teamsters 690 representative Joe Kuhn said the two sides appear to have tentative agreements on holidays, wages and uniform allowances for commissioned officers. H...
DAVENPORT – Lincoln Hospital’s shiny new building has been up and at-em for almost three weeks now, leaving many to wonder what would happen with the old building. Mike Stormo and Garry Rosman had the same question when they saw a “For Sale” sign where the clinic used to be, but after some discussion, decided to buy the building and plan to turn them into retirement, senior living apartments. The apartments, which will be called Davenport Senior Independent Living, will be for people 55 and older who are looking to downsiz...
ODESSA – Six weeks ago, Odessa learned it was the recipient of a $68,000 grant to make the Old Town Hall a safer and more functional space for Odessa's senior citizens, as well as for the Odessa community as a whole.

The Odessa High School chapter of FBLA joined in to help raise funding for these efforts, beginning with an...

DAVENPORT — Plans have been in the works for variety store chain Family Dollar to build its first store in Lincoln County with land bought from the city between Logan, Morgan, First and Second Streets since last year. An exact timeline for when ground might finally break is still unclear, but council has taken steps regarding that process several times this year. That trend continued at council’s Aug. 25 meeting, when council set a hearing date for an ordinance to vacate a portion of the Logan Street right-of-way to all...

LINCOLN COUNTY—It took 18 months since COVID-19 was first confirmed in the United States for Lincoln County to see its highest surge of the coronavirus to date, but August saw a spike of 180 new cases. However, only eight cases resulted in hospitalizations. Two patients died of the virus, one age 63 and the other age 79.

Some of you will know me for my mediocre skills on the volleyball/cheer/softball teams, or as the girl driving combine on the family farm or as the kid rolling her eyes in the grocery store because her dad won’t stop talking to everyone. But this is who I am today—a third year medical student, who is shocked at how her community has handled the pandemic. I grew up in Davenport and while applying to medical school, one of the things I emphasized during the admission process was how proud I was to come from a rural com...
Rodgers issues statement on vaccine approval and political cartoon, pg 3 1. Representative Rodgers should have been correct as per, “this approval will build more confidence and trust in the vaccines” but der fuhrer Inslee’s dictate requiring vaccinated citizens to wear a mask just tells us that the vaccines do not work. They do, just our governor being an idiot sends the wrong message.. 2. The political cartoon on pg 3 made little sense since not smoking in the presence of others saves lives while study after study by top u...

DAVENPORT – -Masks will still be a part of sports this year, but face covering rules won’t be as restrictive to start the 2021-22 school year. The state Department of Health released new guidelines that mandate masks in some athletic settings, but not in others. The guidelines come on the heels of the state once again requiring masks in K-12 schools this year, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status. Athletes won’t have to mask up during competition or practice for any outdoor sport. Masks aren’t required for low or mode...
On Monday, the governor announced COVID vaccine mandates for most state employees and health care workers or they could lose their jobs. While employees will be able to apply for religious or medical exemptions, I believe this is heavy-handed and unnecessary. Many of you know I contracted COVID, but I have since been vaccinated, given experience I had and the seriousness of this virus. I would add, the most important part of my job as your state representative is being able...
