REARDAN--A standout senior season from the speedy Darby Soliday continued Thursday night against a fledgling Reardan Indians squad facing Davenport for the first time. Soliday scored five goals in the first half and assisted on another goal in the second half and the Gorillas pushed past the Indians 6-1. Soliday now has 20 goals in six games this season. "When she sees a line, she takes it," Davenport coach Monty Soliday said. "She's pretty aggressive. She has a knack to...
DAVENPORT—It can be an easy trick to fall victim to: A call comes from an unrecognized number. Perhaps this caller is informing someone that they owe money to the bank, or that their child has been arrested and needs bail money over the phone. However, almost always, these calls are not legitimate, and people that give money to these scammers are being duped. But when one has a landline without caller identification, or can’t tell whether a request for money is legitimate or fake, how can they figure out some telltale sig...
REARDAN – The town’s ordinances will soon be digitally organized after council approved a motion to have Code Publishing Company perform the service for the town at council’s March 4 meeting. The town will pay the Seattle-based company $18,250 in start-up costs and a $480 start-up fee to get all ordinances codified. The exact timeline for project completion isn’t yet known. Code Publishing Co. has done code publishing work for many smaller municipalities around the state, including Davenport, Harrington, Odessa, Wilbur...
REARDAN – Substitute House Bill 1356, which would ban the use of Native American names, symbols or images as public school mascots, logos or team names has passed through the House fairly convincingly and is in committee in the Senate, indicating it may be well on its way to passing legislature and landing on the governor’s desk. However, after advocacy from superintendent Eric Sobotta and an amendment to the bill inserted before passing through the House, the bill wouldn’t apply to the Reardan-Edwall School District, which...
March 8th, 1951 “WEATHER TRUE TO GROUNDHOG SIGN” 6 Inches of Snow fell this week. The weather followed the groundhog’s prediction, winter returned this week to the area as March came in like a very big lion. Some five inches of snow fell Monday and Tuesday, and high winds drifted roads enough so that schools in the eastern part of the country were forced to close. March 11th, 1971 “A DAY WITH OUR LEGISLATORS” With Welfare costs in our state skyrocketing the attitude of Mr. Sidney Smith, head of the department of Social an...

DAVENPORT – While their first half included coughing up two fumbles, Reardan’s offense got going against Davenport when junior Cody Sprecher took a backwards pass 78 yards to the house with five minutes left in the first quarter. It was one of Sprecher’s two touchdowns as Reardan (2-0) dusted off Davenport (0-2) 24-7 Saturday, March 6. It was the Indians’ fifth straight victory over the Gorillas. Sprecher was one of two rushing stars for Reardan. He carried 17 times for 155 ya...
REARDAN – After Davenport won the first set, Reardan stepped on the gas pedal and didn’t look back en route to a four-set victory (21-25, 26-24, 25-11, 25-21) over the rival Gorillas for the Indians’ first victory of the season Tuesday, March 9.

DAVENPORT – After originally not including teachers and childcare workers in the current 1B phase of vaccination, Gov. Jay Inslee pivoted and declared educators and licensed childcare workers should be added to the current phase “immediately.” Inslee’s flip came after President Joe Biden issued a directive that all states should prioritize the vaccination of educators and childcare workers. Inslee said he will “soon” announce when the state will prioritize grocery store workers, farmworkers, food processors, bus drivers and...
REARDAN – The school board didn’t discuss or approve many groundbreaking or town-altering items at its Feb. 24 meeting, but the docket was full nonetheless. The meeting included a presentation from mayor Gail Daniels, who highlighted the developing partnership between the town and school district. A part of that is the pathway that’s being developed from the school that will connect with the path heading to the baseball fields and the readerboard project that’s still in progress. She also mentioned her hopes to partner with a...

ASOTIN – The first game of this truncated fall season didn’t go Davenport’s way last Friday. The Gorillas fell to Asotin 14-6 in a sloppy, defensive-minded road fest to open the 2021 “fall sports” docket. Davenport’s lone score, a three-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Evan Gunning, was set up on a 35-yard runback by senior Skyler Henry off a mishandled snap from Asotin punter Gavin Wood. Brenick Soliday’s extra point attempt was blocked. Asotin held a slim lead at halftime 7-6, and added a second-half t...
REARDAN – Kettle Falls had its chances to snap its three-season long losing streak against Reardan Saturday, but ultimately fell 30-6, after the Indians scored three touchdowns in the third quarter. Reardan (1-0) and Kettle Falls (0-1) opened both their seasons and battled in a defense struggle through two quarters. The Bulldogs burst out of the gate with a 35-yard run from senior Boomer Prouty and had the ball within the Indian's 25 yard line on their first two p...
Well, this is embarrassing. A few short weeks after deciding to keep everyone apprised of local activities, I have decided to stop. Now that I am fully removed from the former quilt shop, I have no easy (emphasis on easy) access to the internet. It would cost way too much to get wireless Internet to my house. Dial-up is incredibly frustrating because of the antiquity of the phone system in Irby, and everybody I know tells me I would not like satellite. OK. I would probably...
1 years ago Mar. 4, 1921 Secretary C.E. Ivy, on his return to Davenport after attending a meeting of the Racing Association held at Walla Walla last week, announced that the dates set for the 29th annual picnic of the Lincoln and Adams counties pioneers at their picnic grounds on Crab Creek, would be held this year June 23-24-25. The warm weather that has prevailed during the past week has set the baseball bug buzzing and as a result a baseball meeting has been called at the Kunkel barber shop next Monday night....
It’s a solution in search of a problem. Lawmakers in Olympia appear to be fast-tracking House Bill 1356, which would ban the use of “racially derogatory or discriminatory” American Indian mascots, logos and team names in public schools in the state. Simply put, the bill is political theater, nonsense that kowtows to the politically correct crowd that’s bent on cancelling our culture, heritage and history. The bill is quickly moving through the Legislature even though I think...
REARDAN – Football was back in jamboree form Monday, Feb. 22, as the Reardan Indians hosted the Davenport Gorillas and Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos for varsity and junior varsity jamboree-style scrimmages. Each varsity offense played each school's varsity defense once, with the same scenario for junior varsity. Each series ran between 8-14 plays, as officials let teams finish drives, nearly all of which intentionally started at the opponent's 40-yard-line. Davenport c...
REARDAN – Melloney Diefe had 21 assists and the Odessa Tigers got a road victory in Reardan over the Indians Thursday, Feb. 18 in straight sets, 25-16, 25-21, 26-24. It was the first game for either school since Fall 2019, as the season has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Emily Scrupps added 12 kills for Odessa, while Maddie Scrupps had eight digs. Diefe added four aces, and Jocelynn Hottell had three blocks for the victorious Tigers. Kendall Little had 10 digs and t...
ODESSA – The Tiger volleyball team opened its season Feb. 18, after the long Covid-induced wait, with a non-league win over Reardan in three straight games. OHS vs. Reardan Emily Scrupps was back in fine form after having missed last season due to shoulder surgery. She led the team with 12 kills. The match was broadcast via the NFHS Network and could be viewed online. There was no play-by-play announcer, and the camera was located way up in the bleachers. Therefore, f...
