Melinda Canaday, business manager at the Sprague school district, belts out a note during the PTO-hosted karaoke night Friday, Jan. 30....
Almost twice in one month. Yes, I know. It sounds excessive. But when Uncle Sam fires up the National Guard Bat-Signal in the sky, you answer the call or you get accused of going AWOL, handed discharge paperwork, and introduced to a lovely assortment of “corrective training.” Translation: pushups. Because in the Army, you either get smart or you get strong. So there I was again this weekend, alarm blaring at 4 a.m. Saturday morning, feeling like I’d been knocked flat before my boots even hit the floor. But anyone who’s...

Patchwork quilting weather is here. Cold, dreary days are perfect for settling in with a winter project. This weeks column is a patchwork of recipes with no particular theme. Some would be perfect for a game day buffet, others ideal for everyday family meals or celebrations. Charlene Kagele recently shared a King Arthur brand recipe for Chewy Granola Bars at a recent quilt gathering. These fruit and nut filled bars are made with oat flour, making them a gluten free option for game day buffets. Chewy Granola Bars 1 2/3 cups...
Harrington kids teamed up with reading buddies and lined the halls with free books during National Reading Day, proving that reading is better when shared...
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...
Sprague, formerly known as Hoodooville in the early 1880s, is a small town home to around 525 people right off of I-90. Nestled in the corner of Lincoln County, this town is a place rich with history, both tragic and interesting. Officially incorporated into the United States in 1883, and the original home of the Pacific Railway Depot, Hoodooville changed its name to Sprague after John W. Sprague, a Civil War veteran and railroad executive. Sprague blossomed until a fire burned it down in 1895. The depot was moved to...

1 Years Ago The coldest temperature of the season was recorded here last Thursday evening when the thermometer registered 14 above zero. The coldest previous temperature had been 18 above.

Some people collect memories. Others collect auction paddles. I, your local editor, appear to be collecting fundraising events, and this year's Sprague Chamber of Commerce auction did not disappoint. First, let's address the elephant in the room, or rather, the margarita machine that I did not accidentally win this year. For those still emotionally recovering from the Odessa Hospital semi-formal soirée of last year, rest assured: no one pulled their own name this time....
Start the new year with a pantry tidy, and not harboring any ancient products too old to use. Set aside 15 minutes to go through and pull any items past or nearing use by dates. Toss anything you wont use and decide what to make with the remaining items, then work them into your January menus. Part of a package of pancake mix, Chow Mein noodles, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, tomato paste, sliced peaches, whole-berry cranberry sauce, corn muffin mix, mandarin oranges and a jar...
