REARDAN--Two teams came into Tuesday night's matchup seeking their first win, but it was the visiting Asotin Panthers (1-3) who eeked out a five-set win over the hometown Indians 20-25, 25-17, 25-23, 19-25, 15-11. Reardan pulled away in the first and fourth sets to get wins, but a key third set win gave Asotin the advantage.

In the second half, Milei Floyd, Jensyn Jacobsen and Cady Zellmer joined the scoring party. The...
DAVENPORT-Don't celebrate yet, but as of this issue, spring is less than a month away as the snow begins to melt here in town. While many will look forward to the prospect of warmer temperatures and equate that with more outdoors opportunities, there are still a few options while winter is still on scene. However, it remains undeniably true that options will increase come spring time. The Times caught up with Lincoln County Fish and Wildlife officer Curt Wood to check in on...
DAVENPORT—Darby Soliday was inches away from a heroic hat trick that would’ve likely given Davenport a 3-2 win over Northwest Christian, but her shot at the end of overtime hit off the top post of the goal. Ellie Telford was inches away from hitting the ricochet into the goal, but NWC came up with two sliding defensive stops. The end result was a 2-2 tie between the Gorillas (0-1-1) and Crusaders (0-1-1). Look for more on today’s game in next week’s edition of The Times....

DAVENPORT – Lincoln County’s share of the Moderna vaccine aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 has been reduced to zero in the past weeks as the state puts emphasis on mass vaccination sites and winter storms nationwide slow down shipping. That goose egg of new doses has been felt in many rural counties, not just here. Fortunately for rural health departments, there is a second FDA-approved vaccine by Pfizer that requires two shots spread three weeks apart. Now, individual rural counties don’t have the capacity to store...
DAVENPORT – The school board discussed whether to reconvene for in-person meetings now that Lincoln County is in Phase 2 of Gov. Jay Inslee’s re-opening at their regular Zoom meeting Feb. 22.

We'll have coverage of the scrimmage in this week's edition of The Davenport Times....
DAVENPORT--Sports were back tonight in Davenport. Unfortunately for the Gorillas, it was the Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos who came to town and used strong serve attacks and solid defense to sweep Davenport (0-1) in three sets, 25-13, 25-20, 25-10. It was the first match for either team since Fall 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, players had to wear masks and sit six feet apart from each other on the bench. The two teams didn't shake hands before or after the game, but...
DAVENPORT – It’s not a complete re-opening, but it’s a start. Lincoln County joined the rest of the state in moving to Phase 2 of Gov. Jay Inslee’s re-opening plan beginning Feb. 14.

Restrictions limiting outdoor or open air-dining to six people per table are still in place, and alcohol service/delivery still must end at 11 p.m. Much to many Lincoln...
DAVENPORT – Below-freezing temperatures and precipitation coincided for the first time in February after a dry start to the month President's Day. 3.2 inches were reported here by the National Weather Service (though it appeared to be more) on the Feb. 15 holiday, marking the first snowfall of the month after a drier-than-usual January. A small amount of snow fell Tuesday and Wednesday, but didn't match the bluster of Washington's Birthday. A slight chance of snow was f...
DAVENPORT – It’s becoming routine at this point: The Lincoln County Health Department applies for new Moderna vaccine doses aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection. The state doesn’t provide any new doses, while mass vaccination sites, such as the Spokane Arena, receive doses in the thousands. That was the case this week for the third week in a row, health department public health administrator Ed Dzedzy informed the county commissioners at their Feb. 16 meeting. This week, however, a new wrinkle was thrown in, and it invol...
DAVENPORT – The state’s advancement to Phase 2 of Gov. Jay Inslee’s re-opening plan means that restaurants complying with the governor’s mandates can finally open up indoor seating at 25% capacity. Most local restaurants are therefore now open for indoor dining with those restrictions in mind, and some have adjusted their hours as they work their way back from an 11-month on-and-off shutdown. Here are some updates on those sit-down restaurants, including a meal recommendation from a staff member at those eateries. El Ranchit...

If there was ever a year in history that rivaled 2020's embrace for the rapture, it would have to be the year of 1918. It was a year that, like 2020, saw our country in the middle of a global pandemic, while also still in the midst of battling World War 1. Historians suggest crime in the United States decreased that year, just like it supposedly did in 2020, but if you lived in Davenport at that time you'd probably have a different opinion. In addition to the world events of t...
