But when the dust - and t...
The way Medical Lake’s AA American Legion baseball coach Austin Sharp figures, part of the tidal wave turnout that greeted he and his coaches is a desire by some of those players to not repeat in 2019 what happened in 2018. In his first year at the helm, Sharp’s Northeast A League Cardinals finished 3-16. But the nine juniors who endured such a long season want none of that as seniors and playing summer baseball is part of the solution. “Man, we had a ton of kids tryou...

In a recent meeting of the Medical Lake City Council, the claim was made in the public forum portion that “The Fairways would probably close because of that lawsuit on water.” While that wa...
