Along with creating recyclable Thanksgiving centerpieces, Judi Gray also teaches life lessons.

Next year’s special levy was discussed at the Palouse school board meeting Nov. 15. “Based on the need, I don’t believe we are understaffed,” said Palouse Superintendent Jake Dingman, indicating the levy will mainly be for maintenance, repairs and material costs.

The Teapot Cafe closed last week, leaving another vacant storefront on Main Street LaCrosse. Townsfolk, though, don’t intend to leave it empty for long. Cheri and Steven Garrett closed the doors on the restaurant they have operated for more than the past decade due to personal health problems. In response, LaCrosse Community Pride, the organization founded to bring back a grocery store to the town is now seeking a restauranteur to take over the cafe’s operations. “We’re really sad to see Cheri close it down, but right now what’s most important...
Eddy’s Chinese and American Restaurant on south Main Street in Colfax opened its doors last Friday after being closed for more than a week after it became an accident victim.

The damaged areas have been temporarily covered with paneling. Eddy Ng celebrates the re-opening of his restaurant after it was smashed by a car accident e...
