Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is considering a change to the state’s recently adopted premium change transparency rule. A press release from the Office of the Insurance Commissioner says, “The change would be specific to Phase 2 of the rule — the automatic inclusion of reasons for premium increases in policy renewals — and would move the timing of that action from June 2027 to June 2029.” Goodish? The rule applies to auto and home insurance policies. (Insurers...

Thirteen high school students visited the convention, divided into dairy cattle evaluation, farm and agribusiness management, and meats evaluation. "All students...

I can go back over 10 years and find when the price of wheat was significantly higher than what it is currently, but I think it's well below the cost of production for most producers, especially if you start looking at...

Years ago. I stepped into Carnegie Library for a college assignment, expecting a straightforward study of library layouts and materials. But the moment I walked through those doors, I felt a warmth that went beyond the building itself. Cozy, quaint and clearly loved, Carnegie Library felt like a storybook version of what a small-town library should be. Ever since, it's been my picture-perfect vision of a community-centered library, serving Ritzville and its surrounding towns...

I watched a lot of football over the years and I can tell you that the kicking game has really changed with the soccer style kickers. Pete Gogolak became the first soccer style kicker in the NFL. A couple of years later his younger brother Charlie would be the second. Up until that time most kickers were linemen. The NFL kicking award is named after Cleveland Browns tackle Lou Groza. There were other kickers that played skill positions like Paul Hornung and George Blanda but...
