The Lady Mules softball team played at home on Tuesday and lost twice in a double header with Onalaska. They lost the first game 3-20 and the second 9-19, but played “better than it sounded,” according to Coach Cindy Fudge. Sam Boyce, Tori Wegdahl and Madison LaBerge all hit singles in the first game. Megan Perez hit a double. “Boyce stood out defensively at short stop,” Fudge said, “and Tori put in a great effort at the mound.” The teams were tied in the fourth inning of the second game, but O...

NICE BEGINNING--I was a bit surprised to see a sunny day last Sunday, as the forecast had looked pretty wet, so after a super soggy Saturday, the blue sky and sunshine was truly welcomed. Considering the cold areas east of us and the earthquakes south of us in California, I was feeling pretty good about our weather. I was happy to hear from a cousin of mine, Karla Kyle, who said they faired the earthquake just fine but that you could sure tell the tourists and the newcomers to the area, as they...

The two young men met over baseball and soon discovered that they shared a common vocation, being involved in providing medical marijuana. Kehrli knew even then that things...

Commissioner Gene Healy agreed and pointed out that the rates have been the highest in the state for some time. According to Tramblie the $6,000 inventory allot...

To The Eagle: ]I never thought this would happen but I find myself totally agreeing with Howard Brawn, specifically his recent letter regarding the proposed pot-growing moratorium. I do have a couple of thoughts of my own. Twenty-odd years ago I found it necessary for a variety of reasons to part ways with alcohol and pot. This was accomplished with a little help from my friends (and You-Know-Who) and I have yet to regret this choice. But the point I’m trying to make is that I never saw fit to insist that it was time for everyone else to q...
