DAVENPORT - Two wind turbine project builds being attempted in Lincoln County by Omaha-based Tenaska and Toronto-based Cordelio Power aren't the only projects in the works here. Triple Oak Power, a Portland, Oregon-based green energy supplier, is in the process of leasing land for a turbine project of its own north to northeast of Davenport. While CEO Jesse Gronner was wary to offer many details on the project, titled "Great Bend Wind," before such details are finalized, he sa...
DAVENPORT —-The results are certified, and all Lincoln County school levy propositions have passed. Results were certified Friday, Feb. 23. The local District flirting with levy failure was Reardan-Edwall, mostly due to opposition in Spokane County. But Lincoln County favored the levy enough to overrule said opposition. The 3-year Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) levy valued at approximately $2 per $1,000 assessed property value passed 776-713, with 373 in favor to 190 opposed in Lincoln County and 523 opposed to 4...

SPOKANE VALLEY - An old saying states the simple: Pressure makes diamonds. But it also bursts pipes. And the latter is what happened to the Lake Roosevelt offense when the Davenport girls employed a press defense in the second half of a District 6/7 Crossover game that allowed the Gorillas to pull away from the Raiders 64-44 at West Valley High School Saturday, Feb. 17. The win allowed the Davenport girls to advance to State for the second straight season. The first half had...
SPOKANE VALLEY - One team made their 3-pointers, and the other couldn't make a layup. Unfortunately for the Reardan girls, they fell into the latter category in a District 6/7 Crossover game with a state berth on the line against Tonasket Friday, Feb. 16. The end result was a 54-41 victory for the Tigers that ended the Screaming Eagles' season.

REARDAN - Tenaska and Cordelio Power, the companies looking to build two wind farms in Lincoln County, held community meetings in Reardan and Harrington this week to answer questions about the projects titled Hawk Creek and Lincoln County SW. Both projects have rather broad potential locations and are almost entirely dependent on which landowners sign on to the lease to have wind turbines built on their property, Tenaska project manager Monte Ten Kley said at the Reardan...

I went to a community meeting about a proposed wind generation project encompassing Reardan and Davenport. First off. This project and the one in southern Lincoln county are huge. These have the economic power to rival or eclipse agriculture. Let that sink in a bit. Farming could take second seat to the concerns of power generation. The thought of seeing wind towers on the horizons of the county sickens me. Look around Colfax and see what I mean. One of the thoughts outside of the forum was why were they offering just a flat...

SPOKANE VALLEY-Like many sports, basketball is often a game of inches. And a few inches are what separated the Davenport girls from what would've been a shocking District 7 2B Championship win over defending state champion Colfax last Saturday. Instead, it was the Bulldogs who managed to hold off the stampeding Gorillas 59-55 in overtime to defend their District 7 crown Feb. 10. Three days removed from knocking off rival Reardan in the District semifinals, Davenport came out f...

Tenice Waters scored seven points and grabbed four rebounds before the...
