This weekend, where do I even begin? Probably with the burst waterline that turned my bathroom into a splash pad and sent me out of my Davenport office early on Friday. Nothing like mopping your own floor before heading to a crab feed. Once the water chaos was temporarily handled, I pointed my car toward Odessa, assuming a calm evening at the annual Lions Club crab feed. I was wrong. Cars lined the streets, and inside the community hall I barely made it through the door...

HARRINGTON — The Harrington School Board approved most agenda items Tuesday, Jan. 28, but the 2026-2027 school calendar was tabled amid concerns over summer camp scheduling. Courtney Strozyk, principal and superintendent of Harrington School District No. 204, said the board’s main goal is to keep the district updated and compliant with state requirements. “The school board just has to approve everything for the state,” she said. The meeting included a work session at 6 p.m. for onboarding a new board member and a regular...
DAVENPORT - Ballots for Lincoln County's upcoming levy-only election are landing in mailboxes this week, and voters may notice they look a little different from those in years past. About 4,200 ballots were mailed last Friday afternoon, according to Lincoln County Elections Manager Norm Caley. There are no candidates on the ballot, only levy measures. The change comes after state legislation passed last year requiring uniform ballot envelopes statewide, replacing what had...
DAVENPORT — One Lincoln County town logged 1,360 police calls in 2025. Another had just eight. The county’s latest crime data reveal sharp contrasts, both in total incidents and per-resident activity, showing how population, location, and local law enforcement shape who interacts most with police and the sheriff’s office. Davenport, the county seat and largest town, with about 1,703 residents, recorded the most calls. Traffic offenses, domestic violence investigations, and suspicious person reports dominated. That works out t...

I write this column with the kind of caution usually reserved for handling live grenades. Why? Because this time last year, I innocently mentioned sunshine, a lack of snow, and, oops, the county apparently thought I was issuing a challenge. Snow piled in, my inbox nearly exploded with frustrated messages, and the latest gem arrived just in time for this column: if anyone has to shovel snow after I write this, I’ll be receiving a bill. Consider this a very polite, slightly nervous preemptive apology to Mother Nature… and my...

A bull on the S. A. Weipert farm south of Reardan gored five horses Monday when the stock came to a straw pile to feed. One of the horses will not recover.
