I just read an article that says, “Cows can feel the heat just like people. Heat stress can significantly reduce cows’ appetite, fertility and milk production levels during the summer, according to Cargill Inc. The stress can begin when the temperature-humidity index reaches 68, which is still a comfortable level for most people. Cargill thinks it has a solution.” (http://www.startribune.com/cargill-new-feed-products-can-protect-overheated-cows-during-summer-heat/303520921/) Let’s hope it works. Because globally we just ha...

During the last decade it seems that our great Republic has seen some African-American leaders abuse the law about free speech to the point these words have helped incite riots. These riots appear to be getting larger in scope and longer in duration....

The venue was impressive-our local theater has been lovingly restored with comfortable seating, ample leg room, and a new stage setup that worked beautifully.

There’s an old saying that people living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. The moral is that before criticizing others, you should make sure your own house is in order.

Inslee’s climate change agenda, which pits Washington businesses against one another. The company hosted... Full story

Brandon and Tricia Egbert are the proud new owners of Ritzville’s first distillery. The Whiskey Gap Distillery is named after an area north of Spokane through northern Idaho and Montana.

Dennis Chamberlain, owner of Uniquely Washington, brought the idea to Brandon during last year’s Memorial Day car show. Brandon, residing between Connell a...
