There’s something electric about November in eastern Washington, when the wheat fields turn gold under a crisp sky, and the echoes of Friday night lights bleed into the weekend. As a kid who grew up chasing grounders on dusty diamonds and dreaming of gridiron glory, I can’t help but feel the pull of these moments — when our local heroes lace up for state glory, and even the pros remind us why we fell in love with the game. This week, it’s Davenport soccer braving the cold in Freeman, Gorillas volleyball spiking toward the Sun...

DAVENPORT — With certification set for Tuesday, Nov. 25, Lincoln County Elections officials say the outcome of Davenport’s razor-thin mayoral race is unlikely to change — even as a few ballots trickle in for final verification.

According to Elections Manager Norm Caley, only 42 ballots remain countywide, including a few awaiting “signature cures,” where voters forgot to sign their ballot envelopes. “We still have a handful of signature cu...

This week, I checked a couple of things off my personal “life challenge” list — and lived to tell the tale. I finished my 12-week gym program (yes, the one where I discovered muscles I didn’t know existed), and I attended the Veterans Day assembly in Davenport. One of those accomplishments comes with sore quads, the other with a lump in your throat. Both came with lessons I’ll carry forward. Even though I’m still in the National Guard and not technically a veteran, Veterans Day always makes me stop and think about the people...
