There are two features of this time of year that make my heart glad. One is the rapidly increasing length of the day. In September we lose daylight quickly, but in the spring we gain it all back just as rapidly. Although the same pattern is repeated each year (so you’d think I’d be used to it) I’m always somehow surprised and delighted when we get to this time of year and have early sunrises and spreading daylight in the evenings. The other part of this time of year that gladdens my soul is the singing of birds. Start...

In the 1880s settlers began to move into this area. About 35 families established homes in what would become Turnbull Wildlife Refuge. President Franklin Roosevelt in 1937 declared 16,000 acres of marshes, wetlands and lakes as the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. The farmers who already lived on the property spent a lot of time draining the swampland. They planted and sold hay, hunted and hauled freight. In 1941 Charlie Proctor became Turnbull’s first manager. Charlie, h...

With a huge number of players graduating, there will be many new faces on Medical Lake‘s girls’ tennis team in 2013 head coach Dawn Eliassen reports. “We graduated eight last year, so we have very few returning varsity players,” Eliassen said. The team now has just two seniors (Amy Ryan and Katie Larkin) and a junior (Becky Nix) in the top-10. The current No. 1 singles player is sophomore Rachel Hansen, a transfer from Reardan. But competition has been fierce across a group of...
The new direction of Medical Lake boy’s tennis has an old face attached to it. No, Leroy Lemaster did not rescind his latest effort at retirement following the 2012 season. Back at the helm is Justin Blayne, the former Cardinal multi-sport athlete who was the last guy to take over when Lemaster stepped down from the head-coaching job in 2008. Blayne left both the tennis and girls’ basketball jobs in 2010 to first enter private business and later to coach at Rosalia. But thi...
Cheney softball head coach Gary Blake believes that if his team started games stronger, they might not have to play so furiously later on. The Lady Hawks gave up 19 runs in going 1-2 last week, 14 of which came in the first two innings against Deer Park at home Tuesday and in a doubleheader Saturday at East Valley. Cheney tried to rally but couldn’t in the first two of those three games, losing 4-2 to the Stags and 8-2 to East Valley in game one. In game two, after falling behind 6-0 after two the Lady Hawks got three in t...
Cheney High’s baseball team moved their Great Northern League record to the .500-mark by going 2-1 in action last week with Deer Park and East Valley. The Blackhawks overcame a hard-throwing, hard-hitting Stags team with a run in the bottom of the eighth for a 6-5 win on Tuesday, and just missed an upset of projected league-title winner East Valley (3-1, third, 4-2) Saturday, giving up a run in the bottom of the eighth inning of game two for a doubleheader split. Cheney got what manager Randy Elam called a “fabulous gam...
The Cheney High School boys’ tennis team had a mixed performance last week, but improved along the way to make for a strong finish, bringing their record to 3-3 for the season. Their first match against West Valley Tuesday, March 26, turned out to be a difficult one, where the team lost 6-1, similar to a loss against Mt. Spokane the week before. Doubles team Ryan Axtell and Collan Kay scored the only set win of the day, 6-4, 3-6, 5-10 against their opponents. Overall, d...

Cheney boys’ soccer head coach Mark Kiver best summed up the Blackhawks three Great Northern League wins last week. “You have three games in a week, score 16 goals and give up none, that’s a pretty good week,” Kiver said. Indeed it was as Cheney stretched its league-leading mark to 6-0, improving to 7-2 overall. Those three wins included a 3-0 shutout of second-place Pullman (4-2, 5-4, 12 points) Saturday, which coupled with the Greyhounds 4-2 loss Thursday at Colvill...
Medical Lake head track coach Gene Blankenship is content with a slow start because he’s quite confident his team will finish strong. So with that in mind he’s not worried his star sprinter – Amarah Nicholson – and the future of his distance running – Micah Dingfield – both sophomores, are a little slow in the early going. Medical Lake has three meets under its collective boys’ and girls’ belts, the most recent last Saturday at the Deer Park Invitational. Even with spring bre...

Lerch won the 800-meter run with a time of 2 minutes, 1...
Little things are paying big dividends for Medical Lake baseball so far this spring. The Cardinals’ 4-0 start in the Northeast A League, 5-1 overall, has been powered by executing fundamental baseball head coach Kerry Kelly said.
