Vijarro nailed a long birdie putt on the 18th green to cap a 9-under par 63 final round and a 264 total over four days, edg...

City of Cheney officials have relaxed water restrictions imposed on June 30 after one of its deepest and largest producing wells went down with a mechanical failure. The failure, coupled with very hot weather conditions, sent water levels at the city's five reservoirs plummeting from a normal 25-28 feet to 11.7 feet on July 7. Those levels had been slowly climbing, thanks to residents efforts in adhering to restrictions, and had reached 20.23 feet around 6:45 p.m. Tuesday.

As the 50th edition of the Cheney Rodeo galloped and bucked its way to a close, the lyrics of Garth Brooks’ song, “Rodeo,” came to mind. “Well it’s bulls and blood It’s dust and mud It’s the roar of a...
