Kowatsch graduated from University of Idaho in May with a bachelor of science degree in journalism.

"I'm excited and honored that I get a chance to work for a paper with such a long and storied history in the region," Kowatsch said. "I'm excited that I get to bring sports coverage to the area along with the rest of our family newspapers with Free Press Publishing."

Kowatsch will focus on sports in the county's rural high school...
