DAVENPORT – It was Senior Day for the Gorilla core that helped start the program that would win a 2B state title in 2019, and the seniors stepped up again to score seven of Davenport's eight goals in a convincing 8-1 victory over Reardan March 20. Darby Soliday, the team's leader, scored three goals. Milei Floyd added two goals, and Ellie Telford and Anella Faumulna added scores of their own. “This is the bunch I grew up with…it’s been 13, 14 years with them,” Davenport...
DAVENPORT – More re-openings are coming next week. Gov. Jay Inslee announced a statewide move to Phase 3 of his re-opening plan effective Monday, March 22. The phase, the details of which hadn’t previously been released prior to Inslee’s announcement, allows up to 50% occupancy or 400 people maximum in indoor spaces like restaurants, gyms and movie theaters. Phase 3 also allows up to 400 spectators at high school sports games. That measure takes effect March 18, so Reardan and Davenport home football games can host up to 40...
DAVENPORT – If a local here is looking to sell their house, now may be the time. Davenport is currently a seller’s market, with demand outweighing the supply. “If houses are priced (correctly) they sell right away…sometimes within hours,” Katz Realty designated broker and city councilmember Patrick Katz said. “Prices have been increasing over the last month…offer prices are usually above what the (house) was listed for.” When a house does sell, it’s usually to an out-of-towner looking to move to a place with more of a se...
REARDAN--The Davenport high school boys cross country team tied for third place with Chewelah at a 2B cross country meet in Reardan on a sunny Saturday morning March 13 behind Asotin and Kettle Falls.

Davenport's top finisher was junior Jake Coffman, who finished fifth with a time of 18:33. Meanwhile, Josie Wynecoop and Glenna...
DAVENPORT--After Northwest Christian (Colbert) scored on its opening drive, the Davenport defense didn't look back, pitching a shut out the rest of the way while the Gorilla offense got rolling with three rushing touchdowns. It lead to Davenport's first win of the season over the Crusaders 23-13. Running backs Ethan Douse and Brenick Soliday and quarterback Evan Gunning all scored rushing touchdowns for Davenport. NWC's second touchdown was a scoop'n'score 55-yard fumble...
REARDAN--A standout senior season from the speedy Darby Soliday continued Thursday night against a fledgling Reardan Indians squad facing Davenport for the first time. Soliday scored five goals in the first half and assisted on another goal in the second half and the Gorillas pushed past the Indians 6-1. Soliday now has 20 goals in six games this season. "When she sees a line, she takes it," Davenport coach Monty Soliday said. "She's pretty aggressive. She has a knack to...
DAVENPORT—It can be an easy trick to fall victim to: A call comes from an unrecognized number. Perhaps this caller is informing someone that they owe money to the bank, or that their child has been arrested and needs bail money over the phone. However, almost always, these calls are not legitimate, and people that give money to these scammers are being duped. But when one has a landline without caller identification, or can’t tell whether a request for money is legitimate or fake, how can they figure out some telltale sig...
DAVENPORT – Another sign that winter is drawing to a close comes Sunday, March 14 at 2 a.m., when Daylight Savings Time (DST) arrives and the clocks advance an hour to preserve more daylight at the end of the day. And yes, that means an hour of sleep is lost, not gained. 48 states observe DST, with the exceptions being Arizona and Hawaii. However, the Navajo nation in Arizona does observe DST. Benjamin Franklin and William Willett were the original thinkers of DST, but the United States didn’t implement summer daylight sav...
ODESSA — A woman with an address here was arrested and released from Lincoln County Jail on March 2 on a charge of animal cruelty after appearing in Lincoln County Superior Court. Rebekah Southard, 26, entered a not-guilty plea March 2 on three counts of animal cruelty. She is accused of being criminally negligent toward three dogs to the point of starvation, according to county clerk records.

REARDAN – The town’s ordinances will soon be digitally organized after council approved a motion to have Code Publishing Company perform the service for the town at council’s March 4 meeting. The town will pay the Seattle-based company $18,250 in start-up costs and a $480 start-up fee to get all ordinances codified. The exact timeline for project completion isn’t yet known. Code Publishing Co. has done code publishing work for many smaller municipalities around the state, including Davenport, Harrington, Odessa, Wilbur...
March 8th, 1951 “WEATHER TRUE TO GROUNDHOG SIGN” 6 Inches of Snow fell this week. The weather followed the groundhog’s prediction, winter returned this week to the area as March came in like a very big lion. Some five inches of snow fell Monday and Tuesday, and high winds drifted roads enough so that schools in the eastern part of the country were forced to close. March 11th, 1971 “A DAY WITH OUR LEGISLATORS” With Welfare costs in our state skyrocketing the attitude of Mr. Sidney Smith, head of the department of Social an...

SPOKANE – Senior Darby Soliday had already found the net multiple times in each of Davenport’s first three games.

Soliday now has 15 goals in five games. Saturday’s win for Davenport exacted some revenge over a Dragons squad that won at Davenport in the first game of the season Feb. 25 3-2. Soliday’s three goals all came in the first 20 mi...
ODESSA – The Odessa Record was named Business of the Year for 2019 during a Chamber of Commerce program at noon Tuesday, March 9. The Record and Volunteer of the Year Dale Ramm received their honors a year late due to the coronavirus shutdown ordered by Gov. Jay Inslee. That shutdown prompted the cancelation of last year's banquet. Because of the ongoing restrictions, the chamber is not planning a 2021 banquet. The Odessa Record's award came as a big surprise owners and s...

DAVENPORT – The defending 2B state soccer champions have notched a loss, tie and win so far this season in a strange, shortened 2020-21 "fall sports" season. Some late-game heroics from Davenport's Darby Soliday were overshadowed by even later heroics from St. George's Margreit Galow. Galow scored a high-arching goal from about 25 yards out in the last minute and the Dragons topped the Gorillas 3-2 in the season opener Feb. 25. Soliday tied the game with her second goal w...
ASOTIN – The first game of this truncated fall season didn’t go Davenport’s way last Friday. The Gorillas fell to Asotin 14-6 in a sloppy, defensive-minded road fest to open the 2021 “fall sports” docket. Davenport’s lone score, a three-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Evan Gunning, was set up on a 35-yard runback by senior Skyler Henry off a mishandled snap from Asotin punter Gavin Wood. Brenick Soliday’s extra point attempt was blocked. Asotin held a slim lead at halftime 7-6, and added a second-half t...
REARDAN – Kettle Falls had its chances to snap its three-season long losing streak against Reardan Saturday, but ultimately fell 30-6, after the Indians scored three touchdowns in the third quarter. Reardan (1-0) and Kettle Falls (0-1) opened both their seasons and battled in a defense struggle through two quarters. The Bulldogs burst out of the gate with a 35-yard run from senior Boomer Prouty and had the ball within the Indian's 25 yard line on their first two p...
ODESSA – Several Odessa businesses are having difficulty hiring employees due to the housing shortage in Odessa. Offering people jobs is one thing, helping them find a place to live is quite another. Commuting from Spokane or even from some closer communities loses its appeal over the long term, even when businesses are offering additional gas stipends or other more generous benefits. Currently, there are no Odessa homes listed with local realtors. Michelle Melgren with Katz Realty of Davenport told The Record that the few ho...

1 years ago Mar. 4, 1921 Secretary C.E. Ivy, on his return to Davenport after attending a meeting of the Racing Association held at Walla Walla last week, announced that the dates set for the 29th annual picnic of the Lincoln and Adams counties pioneers at their picnic grounds on Crab Creek, would be held this year June 23-24-25. The warm weather that has prevailed during the past week has set the baseball bug buzzing and as a result a baseball meeting has been called at the Kunkel barber shop next Monday night....
