The parade had over 60 participants, with the Deer Park float taking first place and the Davenport float taking second. Deer Park's float was themed "Fun All Around"...

I see that we are selecting a new Lincoln County sheriff this next election cycle. I question why is this a partisan race? Why are electing a sheriff who is a Democrat or a Republican? When my son was growing up he noticed the republican sheriff. He wondered if you were Republican did you not get speeding tickets? Let's elect the best person to do the job and not worry about what party they belong to. We need to question the candidate's long term plan for the department. Do we need more road patrol deputies or more staff? We...

REARDAN-The school district's nine-month period of being mascot-less, or "just Reardan," as many locals refer to it, is over. The school board approved a motion to make the "Screaming Eagles" the new mascot by a 3-1 vote at the board's meeting Wednesday, April 27. The district was forced to change its mascot from the "Indians" following the passage of House Bill 1356 in 2021, which banned the use of Native American mascots or logos by public schools in Washington. The moniker...

Keith Cameron Klein, 65, was born June 19, 1956 to Dwaine Richard and Clara Dorothea Klein at Sacred Heart Hospital. He passed away Dec. 30, 2021 at Deaconess Medical Center. Keith loved growing up in Edwall. Due to an injury sustained in infancy which robbed him of the full use of his right arm, he didn’t let that keep him from being involved in school activities, or stop him. What he loved about attending Edwall Public School was, though his right arm didn’t work, “no one treated me differently, or cared”. Attendi...
