See a photo gallery from the event here. The Medical Lake boy’s basketball team rustled up the right time to end a late-season slide. The Cardinals scored a tense 72-69 win in overtime over Colville Feb. 2 at home on senior night that put a halt to a three-game losing streak and solidified a No. 3 seed in the district playoffs. Earlier last week Medical Lake fell 67-57 at Lakeside. Now Medical Lake (13-7), who just 20 days ago was challenging Freeman for the Northeast A L...
See a photo gallery from the event here. The Cheney High boys basketball team wrapped up its regular season with a pair of Great Northern League losses whose final scores don't necessarily reflect the closeness of each game. Last Tuesday in Pullman, the Blackhawks trailed the host Greyhounds, ranked fourth in 2A state in the latest Washington Interscholastic Activities Association's RPI, by five at the half and eight heading into the fourth quarter, only to fall 60-40....

"It was about what we expected," head coach...
See a photo gallery from the event here. The Cheney High girls basketball team hopes they picked up a little momentum heading into the playoffs with a pair of wins last week to close out the Great Northern League regular season. The Lady Blackhawks snapped a three-game losing skid with a 60-46 win Tuesday at Pullman, and capped the season with a hard-fought 57-53 home win Saturday against second-seeded Clarkston. The wins give Cheney an 11-9 record overall and a 6–6 mark in t...
See a photo gallery from the event here. The furthest thing from Medical Lake girls' basketball head coach Kyle Lundberg's mind is the feat his team just accomplished last Thursday night. That was going a perfect 14-0 to win the school's first Northeast A League regular season championship in more than a generation. The Cardinals, 18-2 overall, who clinched the title on Jan. 27 with a win over Freeman, completed the final leg of the journey with a pair of wins, 50-47 at...

Cheney High School’s boys swim team capped a successful season with a number of accolades — beginning with a second-place finish at 2A district swimming competition last weekend between teams from the Great Northern League and Central Washington Athletic Conference.

The top-three district placers at Washington State University’s pool advanced to Federal Way. Sen...
im Hayford may have summed it up best. “It was head shaking,” the Eastern Washington University head coach said a day after his Eagles played a game for the ages in their 130-124 record-setting triple overtime Big Sky Conference victory over Portland State, Feb. 4 at Reese Court. It was a nail-biter, sweatty palms kinda’ game with many a near-miss that led to Eastern playing just short of a game and a half against PSU. “Just amazing,” Hayford said, who will long remember...
Despite losing their head coach, and a handful of assistants, during one of the most crucial times in the offseason, Eastern Washington’s national powerhouse football team appears to have not missed a beat in announcing its 2017 recruiting class, Feb. 1.

The E...

1 Years Ago Feb. 8, 2007 Silver Lake homeowners received an unofficial notice from the state Department of Ecology that their community was selected to receive one of four aquatic weed management grants. It was specially earmarked for conducting a contracted analysis and study of the Eurasian milfoil problem at the lake. The Airway Heights City Council approved a “latecomer’s agreement” of water service and a new development in the area. The agreement extended 480 feet of water line on Lyons Road, south of U.S. Highw...
Evalynn Mae Gibbs got her wings on Sunday, Jan. 23, 2017. The life she expressed, in the two and a half years before her departure, was brimming with intentional expression of the soul that she was. Evalynn touched so many lives in her short experience on earth. Each life she touched was contributed to by her zest and beauty of spirit. Evalynn's life was short in time, but those who were touched by her understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time... Full story

By now, most of you have received your Feb. 14 ballot for the expand and renovation and security improvements for the Cheney School District. Please take the time to fill out your ballot and drop it into the box by the library, without the cost of a stamp, or send it off in the mail. This bond is significantly more comprehensive in terms of benefits and security for all the schools in the district and identifies the growing need to address overcrowding at the high school. In addition, this bond will pay for land for a...
Invest! We have an opportunity to invest in our kids. It is always a great idea to invest for retirement. Investing for your future is a great way to plan for what the future holds. We in the Cheney area have that opportunity NOW! By supporting the upcoming construction bond for the schools in our area, we are investing in not only our schools, but our community and our kids. There is no better place to invest. We can all be a part of the future. I am so excited that with this bond proposal my beloved wood shop will be...
I am the father of two boys in the Cheney School District, writing in support of the Feb.14 bond measure in the Cheney School District. My wife and I moved to this area in large part because of the positive reputation of the district. We are fortunate to live in an area with tremendous growth and that growth comes with growing pains. Cheney has a fantastic school district and they are in need of additional space and safety measures to serve our children. The Cheney School District has proposed a responsible plan to invest in...
I’ve probably voted for all of two tax increases in my lifetime and I’ve certainly not always been pleased with public education, but now is the right time to approve the Cheney school bond. The high school portion of the bond has been reduced. The overall bond is higher than last time as the district wisely included small expansions and safety upgrades to each of the five elementary schools. I encourage Airway Heights residents to get on board with this bond. A second high school should not be built until there are eno...
Dear Cheney School District patrons, what an awesome opportunity you have — you have the power to impact the safety, security and learning space for our area students for years to come. You hold in your hand a ballot for a bond issue that provides much needed classrooms as well as secure entries at multiple schools. The bond also addresses the continued growth projected for our district by including funds to buy property for future school sites. Not all area school districts are growing. Cheney is growing and I believe one r...
I find it odd that there are some who want to waste time debating the pros and cons of the upcoming Cheney School District bond. I have attended several bond meetings, asked questions and listened to different opinions. Each meeting has been productive with subsequent meetings building off of questions and concerns brought up in previous meetings. To me an open honest discussion is far more beneficial than a debate. I have come away from each meeting feeling like the district has really honed this bond into what the needs of...
So, let me get this straight. We just sold a school building for around a million dollars, but we want over $50 million to replace roughly the same number of classrooms we just sold. Idea: school district A has a 1A student body in a 2A school based on a base housing closure. School district B has a 2A student body bursting at the seams with the potential to become 3A. Simple algebra: 1A + 3A = 2A + 2A. Why not change the 108-year-old boundary between school district A and school district B to accommodate demographic...
