Danny Cole and Dick Largent had the older Giants team on a roll year after year, and if I remember right, they coached a full 10 years together. It was a passion they shared...
DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldogs demonstrated their tenacity Friday in a heartbreaking loss against the Stanfield Tigers, ending the first game of the season with a final score of 47-6. The Bulldogs started the game with momentum, moving the ball down the field and into Tiger territory before a fumble stopped the Dogs in their tracks and moved the Tigers into scoring position. The Tigers pounced on their first opportunity, bringing the ball down into the red zone and scoring at 11:04. The Ti...
WAITSBURG - Waitsburg Prescott took on perennial Oregon powerhouse Heppner here Friday night and did more than win. The Cardinals laid a 41-6 beatdown on the Mustangs that served notice to the rest of the states' 2B schools that WP's quest for a repeat championship isn't hype. It's real. And it wasn't just the point differential that impressed. It was the nearly flawless passing attack (one incompletion in 13 attempts), and the stifling defense that yielded just 188 yards on the night-just... Full story

City Administrator Randy Hinchliffe said at the last city council meeting that the city is looking into finding other options to fund the pool - he even mentioned raising property taxes to do so.

There are corn shipments from Brazil unloading on the East coast for feeders in the mid-coastal region. The price of corn has arrived at a tipping point that is the market must seek a price for United States corn that does not destroy demand any further than it has already. On the other hand too much relaxation of prices could kick demand up enough to over-run available supplies being harvested now. The price range for corn is thus de- fined loosely between about $8.50 and $7.50 for a while. The recent range for December corn is between $8.49 o...
