As a prosecutor, I fought against human trafficking on the front lines: I stood up for children victimized by...
It’s only a day’s drive from here, but it’s a world away. At least I fit in. With longish gray hair and a beard, I looked like a hundred other guys on the street, although they were dressed more like I do at home than on vacation. There was more camo and Carhart khaki in downtown Spokane last week than on the opening day of elk season in the Breaks. But while one younger fellow there was even packing a hatchet, and most everyone was carrying sleeping bags, there didn’t appear to be any hunters...

The house being added on to across from the Phillips County Courthouse has had some construction lights installed as works continues in the home’s basement. It looks to me that sometime this spring or summer, that house will be put back on the foundation.

Since winter is in full swing, it seems as though construction around town has slowed down, but if you h...

We could have won a lot more (that day), but we found a way to lose. It was a tough one to swallow." Freshman Cameron Mikesell was off to a hot start as he l...
