    Press Release, Grant County Sheriffs Office|Apr 19, 2017

    SOAP LAKE, Wash. (19APR2017) – Two people are in jail today after a home burglary just north of Soap Lake.

Around 6 a.m. the deputy saw a car pull up, open a secured gate and drive up to the home. A short time later the deputy stopped the car as it was leaving the home. The car’s driver, Brenda Starcher, 44 of Soap Lake, was arrested. The passenger, 26-year-old Danie... Full story

    Jacob Wagner|Apr 19, 2017

    The Harlem Crowns, an entertaining basketball troupe full of razzle dazzle, came to Coulee Dam on April 11 to play against local players, bring joy and laughter to the crowd, and to talk about overcoming adversity. The basketball squad (although from inner city areas in California, and not Harlem, New York) performs in the Harlem Renaissance tradition of basketball, and the name is an homage to the black culture from that period, according to team manager Herb Scaife. “Harlem Renaissance” refers to the cultural and artistic scene that took pla...
