DAVENPORT—A mandate issued by the state in August that required all public and private K-12 school staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk losing their job has forced teachers, staff and administration in east Lincoln County to make some tough personal decisions. The deadline for school staff to be fully vaccinated is Oct. 18. The Department of Health has defined someone as fully vaccinated when they’ve received two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and...
DAVENPORT—The Lincoln County Commissioners approved two resolutions aimed at applying for a broadband construction project with the Public Works Board. The application would request federal funding on a non-matching basis for fiber broadband in Odessa, Harrington, Reardan and possibly the Hawk Creek area. Those resolutions were approved at the commissioner’s Sept. 20 meeting. Commissioner Scott Hutsell said the board doesn’t know yet how much the application will be requesting in grant funding, as county partner Petrichor is...
Earlier in September, Davenport Lions Club secretary Jim Reinbold extended an invitation to have me come speak and answer questions about my experience as editor of The Times thus far at the Lions’ Sept. 21 meeting.

After enjoying a meal of Salisbury steaks and mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans...

DAVENPORT--One watching Thursday's matchup between Davenport and Medical Lake might've assumed the prior was the 1A team hosting a 2B team.

The win was Davenport's second in a row after the Gorillas beat Reardan Tuesday. "They were physical, so I think that's going to help us get a little more physical ourselves," Davenport head coach Monty...
